Me: Hello again! Before I forget, I would like to thank Kohaku (MM.org) for telling me Kagome's mom's name: Megumi. I will use 'Megumi Higurashi' from now on. Thanks again! And I also thank my reviewers. There seemed to be some confusion on why Kagome-chan was in America, and I will explain it now:

1) Kagome had trained with Kaede for two years in the Sengoku Jidai. After she had finished, she and her family, including Shippo and excluding her grandfather, left to America. Her mother had gotten a fairly good job, and they were living fine. But then her mother was fired and that was when everything went downhill. They had lived in America for four years before Kagome got the letter. Also keep in mind that she and Shu-kun had seen each other in eight years.

Galway no Sora

Chapter Two: Hello Cousin!

Kagome closed her eyes as she leaned back into the plane's chair and put on her headphones. She silently sang to herself as the plane flew in the sky.

Kumotta sora wo mitsumete iru
Kuroi hitomi ni nani ga utsuru no
Kanashimi fukaku mune ni hisomete
Tabi ga hajimaru

Ressha no mado kara miru keshiki ha
Dore mo minarenu mono bakari
Shiroku uzukumaru hitsuji no mure
Galway ha tooi

Nagaku tsudzuku ishigaki
Kaze to kiri no kurikaeshi
Doko he tori ha tonde yuku no darou
Ai no shirabe wo tsubasa ni noseta mama
Oide yume to kibou no hikari
Haruka akogare no michi he to
Tsurete itte

Sora ni mukatte sobieru tou ni
Kamome ha jiyuu ni asonde iru
Nido to modoranai kono toki wo
Oshimu you ni

Ikusennen no kioku
Mimamoru ishi no juujika

Kawa ha nagare umi he to sosogu
Hito no kokoro ha ai ni iyasarete yuku

Oide yume to kibou no hikari
Mada minu machi he watashi wo
Tsurete itte
Look up in the sky

As she finished the song, she noticed that Shippo was unusually quiet. She took off her headphones and pulled him into her lap.

"Daijoubou, Shippo-chan?" She asked as she smiled at him. He nodded and tried to smile back, but just then the plane hit some air turbulence, thus making it shake. Shippo yelped and buried himself into Kagome. Kagome chuckled as she stroked the kit-gone-human's hair.

"It's okay Shippo-chan. Nothing will happen to you up here. Not with me to protect you." She said as she sat Shippo back in his chair. He nodded, albeit hesitantly, before putting on his own headphones. Kagome smiled happily as she watched her 'son'. I wonder what it will be like for Shippo when he sees Japan again. He hasn't been there in four years... Kagome wondered as she yawned. Must stay...awake. But her body wouldn't listen to her mind and her eyes slowly fluttered closed.

~With Shu-kun~

Shuichi nervously ran around Eiri Yuki's house, mumbling incoherent sentences. Yuki, who was working on a new novel, had finally had enough and kicked poor Shuichi out of his house.

"Yuuuuuuukkkkkkiiiiiiii!" Shuichi whined as he banged on the door. Crap. My cousin, whom I haven't seen for years, is coming back to Japan and is going to work at Ng-Records. Now Yuki has kicked me out of his house. This day couldn't get any worse. Just as Shuichi said that, rain started to pour from the sky.

"Why? Why me!?" Shuichi yelled into the rain as he banged on Yuki's door a few more times before giving up and heading to a phone booth below the apartment. He dialed Hiro's number, and soon Nakano Hiroshi answered.

"Shuichi? What's up?" Hiro asked over the phone.

"Hiro-kun. Can you come pick me up and take me to the airport?"
"Why? Did you and Yuki have a lover's quarrel? Or are you just running away from the music business?"
"Hiro! Stop joking! I need to greet my cousin and her family who are coming from America. And Yuki kicked me out of the house so I can't ask him for a ride."

"So you did have a lover's quarrel!"

"NO!!!!"

"Okay, okay. I'll pick you up in ten minutes. Ja." Hiro said and then hung up the phone. Shuichi hung up as well with sigh.

"If I'm not on time, Tohma's gonna kill me. And then Mika-san probably will too. Oh, I'm gonna die!" Shuichi wailed into the pouring rain, before sitting down on a bench, waiting for Hiro to show up.

~At the Airport~

Kagome had just grabbed the last of her luggage when someone tapped her on the shoulder. She jumped and spun around, ready to attack whoever it was behind her. A boy with pink hair held up his hands as he grinned at her sheepishly.

"Remember me, Kagome-chan?" He asked. Kagome stared at him for a moment before smiling happily.

"Shu-kun!" She cried out and pounced on him. Shuichi, along with Kagome, fell to the floor, Hiro and Shippo standing above them. Kagome quickly got up off of Shuichi, then picked Shippo up.

"Um, I think my mom and Souta are over there. I'll be right back." Kagome said and ran off to get her mother and brother. A few seconds later Kagome, Shippo, and two others walked back over to Shuichi and Hiro.

"Shu-kun, this is my mother, Megumi, and my little brother Souta, who is not related to you. And this is Shippo, my-I mean, my mother's adopted son." Kagome quickly covered up as she introduced everybody.

"Hi! I'm Shindou Shuichi. Nice to meet you! And this is Nakano Hiroshi, but you can call him Hiro if you want. He's giving us a ride back to Ng-Records, where Tohma and Mika-san will meet you." Shuichi said quickly. The Higurashi family nodded, grabbed their suitcases and left with the two men. Not knowing that this would soon turn into more than just a family reunion.

************************************************************************

Done! ^_^ I liked the way I introduced Shuichi-kun and Kagome-chan in this chapter. And by the way, the song Kagome-chan was listening to was 'Galway no Sora' from 'Ayashi no Ceres'. I was going to put a 'Bad Luck' or 'Nittle Grasper' song in here, but I didn't have the lyrics. *sweatdrop* Oh well. I'll put that in next chapter.
