"Do I really have to do this?" A girl whined. A gentle breeze tossed her butt length silver hair, which was so light is looked white, about. She ran a clawed hair through it making her bangs stand up on end. A woman with shoulder length jet black hair walked over to the girl and smoothed her hair.
"Yes honey but you do."
"Why mom?"
"Cuz if you don't you won't get born." A male, with silver hair said as he joined the two females.
"Why can't one of my 4 brothers do it?" She asked and pointed over to where they were sitting. One was scratching his ear doggy-style, another was sitting there staring at his sister with a dumb look on his face, and the last two were too young. "You're right not one of them have the brains to do this." She looked over at her dad. "IT'S YOUR ENTIRE FAULT! SIT!" her dad became good friends with the forest floor. On his way down he managed to say,
"I take that as a yes?"
"Feh." Was her answer as she stepped on his back.
"Good now lets get going." The woman said and led the way to a small clearing. An old woman was waiting for them.
"Took you long enough." The old lady said. The smaller child's ears shot up.
"Can it baba, before I decided that I don't wanna do this and kill you instead." The child hissed.
"Flattened those ears right now."
"Yes mom." The girl said and flattened her ears against her head.
"Here." The male said and handed the child a yellow bag. The old woman started to chant and a pale light surrounded the girl.
"Bye mom. Bye dad."
"Take care and don't forget to not say anything." That was the last thing the child heard before she disappeared. The girl landed hard on the ground. Itai that hurt. Next time that baba should warn me before she just drops me off in time. the girl complained. She opened her bag. Time to change. she pulled out a short blue, plaited skirt and a white shirt with a blue sailor collar, socks and shoes. (Think Kagome's uniform but blue instead of green). She quickly changed from her deep blue kimono to the clothes her mom had packed for her. "Thank you mom." She whispered. She noticed a white crystal-like ball in her bag so she picked it up. Before she had left the old woman had put a clip in her hair right by her ear. "I wonder what this is?" she thought. Just then the ball shimmered and a picture appeared. "Mom! Dad!" she cried.
Hi honey. We had the old miko add this so we can still talk to you. The clip in your hair allows you to hear us but no one else can. Her mom said. (AN oh yeah WORDS is her parents talking to her.
"Cool." The girl said. Her ears picked up on voices coming her way. "I got to go now. They're on their way."
"OK we'll talk to you later then." The girl put the ball back in her bag and put the bag on. She then ruffled her hair making sure her ears were still covered. She then sat against a tree and started to cry. At that moment a girl with black hair and eyes stomped into the clearing.
"Why do you always have to be such a jerk Inu Yasha?" She hollered. A white haired hanyou stomped after her.
"I'm not being a jerk. I'm just saying that if you want to run off with that pathetic wolf Youkai go ahead."
"Inu Yasha sit." Kagome said. Inu Yasha became good friends with the dirt on the ground. That was when Kagome noticed the crying girl. She went over and kneeled beside her. "What's the matter?"
"Well I went to the Higurashi shrine to get a Shikon no Tama charm and when I got there I saw this boy in this old well house so I went to see him and I tripped and fell down this well and now I don't know where I am." The girl wailed. Thank you mom for the excuse. Kagome hugged the crying girl.
"Its ok you can hang out with us. My name is Kagome, that guy pouting over there is Inu Yasha, he is a hanyou, the kawaii thing on my shoulder is Shippo. He is a kitsune so you don't need to be afraid of him. The girl with the giant boomerang is Sango, she's a demon exterminator, and the guy beside her is Miroku, he's a monk, and if you don't want to be groped don't stand beside him for too long." Kagome said. The girl smiled slightly. Her forest green eyes flashed.
"I can really stay with you guys?" She asked wiping the tears from her face. Kagome nodded.
"So what's your name?" Shippo asked as he bounced from Kagome's shoulder to the girl's.
"My name is Kumiko" Kumiko answered.
"Nice name." Inu Yasha said sarcastically as he pried himself off the ground and into a sitting position.
"Yeah and Inu Yasha is a much better name." Kumiko retorted as she rolled her eyes. Man mom was right. He is an ass.
"And what the hell is that suppose to mean?" Inu Yasha snapped as he stood up. Kagome stood up.
"Be nice Inu Yasha or I'll say it ." She said and helped Kumiko to her feet. "We were just heading back to the village to tend to some injuries we have, you can come with us." Kumiko stood up and brushed some dirt off her skirt.
"Ok." She answered softly. Inu Yasha managed to get a whiff of Kumiko's scent.
"Oi wench you smell like Kagome." Kumiko growled softly at being called a wench. Thankfully no one heard it.
"Well she was just hugging me." Kumiko said and ran after Kagome. "Is he always such an ass?"
"Always." Kagome answered.
"I HEARD THAT!" Inu Yasha yelled at them.
"Then hear this SIT!" Kagome yelled back. The two started laughing when they heard the swearing muffled by the dirt.
"That girl acts kinda familiar doesn't she?" Miroku asked Sango.
"Come to think of it she does. It is like she not afraid of Inu Yasha even though she is only human." Sango replied as they followed behind Inu Yasha. It didn't take the group long to reach the village.
"Konban wa Kaede." Kagome greeted as she ran up to the old lady.
"Kagome, how are you? Who is this?" She asked as she spied Kumiko.
"This is Kumiko. She kinda fell down the well too." Kagome answered. Kumiko ran a hand through her silver hair, she felt kinda nervous under the old miko's stare.
"Konban wa Kaede-bachan (Bachan is a polite form of saying grandma. And it doesn't necessarily mean family)." Kumiko greeted politely. Why am I doing this? Oh yeah so I don't sound like Dad…too much anyways.
"She is certainly more polite then a certain hanyou I know." Kaede said.
"I heard that Kaede-baba." Inu Yasha huffed.
"It's not nice to call someone a Baba." Kumiko said over her shoulder.
You should take your own advice. Her mom said.
Damn I forgot they could hear me. Kumiko thought unhappily.
"I take it then that this girl will be staying with you, Kagome?" Kaede asked as the group sat down in her hut.
"Hai." Kagome answered and took the bowl of food Kaede offered her. "Arigatou."
"Arigatou Kaede-bachan." Kumiko said as she accepted the bowl Kaede offered her.
"You can call me just plain Kaede, Kumiko." Kaede said. "You may spend the night here."
"Feh I'm going outside." Inu Yasha said and left. After everyone had finished their supper and the dishes were gathered everyone settled down for the night. Sango was on one side of the room with Miroku on the other and Kagome in the middle with Shippo curled up beside here. Kumiko was leaning against the wall near the door. Outside Inu Yasha was in a tree closet to the hut. He took a quick look towards the hut.
Ok now I'm seeing things. I swear that that new girl had dog ears for a moment. Inu Yasha thought as he shook his head and drifted off to sleep.
