***************************** Gramma Genkai*****************************
I sighed as Kaede's village came into view. The little kitsune sleeping in the basket of my bike curled into a little ball, his thumb in his mouth. Normally, the sight of my adopted son in such an adorable pose would melt my heart, but right now my mind was preoccupied with something else. Namely, the arrogant hanyou leading our group back to this village.
"Come on InuYasha, we've found three more shards. Everyone needs a break, just let me go home!" Dog-boy couldn't argue with that. Shippo wasn't the only tired one. Sango, Miroku, Kirara and myself were all exhausted.
"No way! We still got a lot of shards to find." It was starting to get serious. I might have to bargain with him, which wouldn't be pleasant on my part.
"InuYasha, I need to go back home for two weeks."
"No you don't. Damn it wench, we still need to find the shards of the jewel YOU broke before Naraku gets them." Okay, time to bargain.
"Look, summer vacation's just started. Let me go home for two week, and I'll spend the next two months here." Everyone looked slightly taken aback by my offer. After all, I'd never stayed two entire months before. I was hoping InuYasha would settle for that, but I had an extra proposition that I knew he'd go for in a heartbeat, just in case.
"Yeah, right." He snorted. Time to bring in the secret weapon.
"InuYasha," I said calmly, knowing hell would break loose after I added this to my bargaining, "Agree to this, and I won't use the prayer beads for the entire two months," InuYasha stopped dead in his tracks, Sango stumbled and stared at me as if I'd just grown an extra head and Miroku had such a stunned expression on his face, it made me wish I'd thought to bring my camera this visit.
"Say what?!?!" InuYasha bellowed, startling Shippo out of his nap. I sighed
"Let me go home for two weeks, and I'll stay here for two months without using the s-word the whole time." Shippo, who had been rubbing sleep out of his eyes, was suddenly wide-awake when he heard what I said.
"H-huh?" he stammered, "You're going away for two weeks? That's not fair! Who will keep that jerk," he motioned to InuYasha as he said this, making the dog hanyou growl in warning, "from picking on me while your gone?" I sighed. I really should've seen this problem would come up.
"In that case, you can come with me, Shippo," I said reasonably. InuYasha's ears perked. I could almost hear him thinking. After all, there were defiantly no down sides for HIM. Sango, on the other hand, sent me a look that said, 'what-do-you-think-you're-doing-I'm-not-spending-two-weeks- with-just-a-pervert-an-arrogant-hanyou-and-a-fire-cat-for-company!' It was almost interesting how scary she managed to make that look. "Sango and Kirara can come too, it they want," Sango's look was immediately replaced with a sweet smile.
"How thoughtful, Kagome, We'd love to go." Oooo-kaaay. And she said my mood swings were scary?
"Fine, you can go. But I'll hold you to your word, wench" I beamed at InuYasha and ignored the name he had called me. I'd deal with that, and everything else he'd undoubtedly do, two weeks and two months from now.
"Kagome?" Sango asked, scratching the fire cat in her arms behind the ear.
"Hm?" I said distracted. Could all of us be able to go through the well at once? Maybe if I held Shippo and Sango held Kirara, and the two of us jumped at the exact same time...We'd each need a jewel shard, of coarse...
"Why did you want to go back to your time bad enough to make that agreement with InuYasha? Not that it's any of my business or anything..."
"It's okay, Sango. My godmother is coming for a visit and I just didn't want to be dragged away by InuYasha. I don't get to see her very often so I want to visit with her as long as I can. Plus, she's bringing her student and some friends of his and I've been really curious about him."
"Student?" I grinned Sango was gonna love this.
"That's right. Gramma Genkai is trained in several marshal arts styles and fighting with spirit energy. She's the one who taught me when I left for three months and came back with all those awesome tricks, remember?"
"How could I forget? When InuYasha started on you for being away so long, you half killed him with that light trick!" I laughed.
"Yeah, I did didn't I? You know, Sango, I would've been away for months longer if it hadn't been for you teaching me all you did." Sango blushed.
"You give me too much credit. You weren't that hard to teach." I snorted at that, remembering my first, clumsy attempts at defending myself. Now, though, Sango and I were well-matched sparring partners, which Sango claimed was very lucky for her, considering how much she worried about her skills withering for lack of practice.
"Anyway, when I told Gramma Genkai about you, she seemed really interested in meeting you." Sango's eyes lit up.
"Really? Do you think she could teach me anything? I'd love to know one of those spirit attacks you do!" I laughed again.
"Relax, Sango, she probably won't mind teaching you a few tricks." I grinned at the glow on my best friend's face.
We got through the well, put a spell on it in case there were any accidents with my god-mother's student or his friends, introduced Sango, Shippo and Kirara to my family, put a spell on Shippo so he looked human and Kirara so she looked like a cat, changed Shippo into some of Souta's clothes, made the two of them great friends, changed Sango's clothes and headed to the mall to get more clothes for the both of us in the span of half and hour. Can you say 'busy'?
Sango and I were in the food court right now. We had been to every store in the mall, had seven bags each and couldn't remember any time either of us had more fun.
"Thanks for everything, Kagome," Sango said, digging through one of her bags.
"No problem. You should come to my time more often. The mall's never been this interesting before." Sango gave me an incredulous look. She obviously couldn't see how a place covered in clothes, food, jewelry and other fun goodies could ever get boring.
"Excuse me, ladies, could you give us some help?" I turned, startled, to see a GORGEOUS guy and older man.
The guy was about my age, maybe a little older, and had black hair and eyes such a dark blue, I wondered if they were black. He wore a blue hoodie with a black shirt visible under that and baggy black jeans. A silver hoop hung from his ear. Idly, I wondered how come he wasn't hot in the middle of summer with a hoodie on. (AN: HAH! You all thought it was Kurama, didn't you?! WRONG! Well, not it'll later! Nyah!)
The guy behind him was older, in his late thirties, I think. He, too, had black hair, though he wore it longer than his younger companion. His eyes were the same shade of violet as Miroku's or InuYasha's (On his human nights, anyway) and he wore a black t-shirt and black slacks.
"Sure," I said after I realized he had asked me a question, "umm, how do you need help?" I saw the kid smirk slightly as he studied Sango and me. Apparently, he liked what he saw.
"We need directions to the nearest high schools. Know were we can get them?"
"I can give you the address to my school. They should be able to help you find the other schools your looking for."
"Could you? That'd be a great help!"
"No problem," I said, writing the school's name and address on the back of a napkin. When I gave it to the kid, he looked slightly startled for a second, but it was replaced with a flirtatious smile so quickly, I figured I'd imagined it.
"So you go to the same school as my cousin, hmm? What's you name?"
"Um, Kagome. And that's Sango," I said, uncertainly. Was it just me, or was there some thing weird about these guys. After I told them my name they stiffened slightly, and this time I KNEW I wasn't imagining things.
"Are you?" the younger one said studying me carefully. Then he smiled again. "Well, my brother and I should be going," he motioned to the guy behind him who had become a lot more interested in our conversation after he heard my name. "I suppose we'll be seeing you around, Miss Kagome and Miss Sango," and with a flourished bow, he and his companion left.
"Was he...strange, or is it just me?" I would've answered, had it not been for a strange feeling I suddenly got.
It felt like I had suddenly been stripped of...everything. Like I was bare, and everyone was watching me. I absolutely hated it. Then, just as quickly as it came, it was gone. I stood up, knocking my chair back as I did. Sango looked at me, startled.
"Kagome?"
"Let's go home." I said, sharply. I had to get out of there. NOW. Confused, Sango nodded and we gathered our things. Once home, we changed into our night clothes and fell asleep.
************************************************************************
Outside in the God Tree, two shadows watched the girls closely.
*It's her, all right * a strong, masculine voice said.
*Yeah. She's grown!* said another, obviously younger, voice. The first speaker chuckled.
*That's usually what happens in ten years.*
*You know what I mean. Where is her brother?*
*We'll find out, soon enough*
*Her mother will be upset*
*Queen Yame gave up her rights to the children when she left. She stole them from the king, not to mention the rest of our people. That is why we must observe them and, eventually, return them to their proper place beside their father. If Queen Yame objects or tries to ward us off, we are to destroy her*
*Why can't we just wait until the princess is alone and present ourselves. She was, after all, old enough when she left to still remember everything*
*Her mother erased her memories. She knows nothing about the kingdom waiting anxiously for her return.*
*... I see...*
*Is something the matter?*
*No. Nothing at all*
