CHAPTER 4
Teresa held on to her animal's cages and did what the pilot had
instructed. The plane landed and stopped and everyone was getting up so
Teresa got up and picked up Sammy and Pitches. When Teresa got out of the
plane she went to the luggage room and found her things. Then she walked up
to the front desk of the airport and asked for the Higurashi family. The
lady behind the desk called the Higurashi family up to the main desk. Then
Teresa saw a woman, an old man, a young boy, and a teenager. They came up
to the main desk and the woman said "Hello we're the Higurashi family and
we are looking for a girl named Teresa."
"I'm Teresa." Teresa said.
"Oh, hello it's nice to meet you." The woman said.
The woman held her hand out and Teresa shook it. "This is my daughter Kagome, my son Souta, and my father."
Teresa shook each one of their hands.
"Come on you guys, every one grab something and let's take it to the car, and get Teresa settled in." Kagome's grandfather said.
Everybody picked up a bag and brought it to the car. Kagome's mom opened the trunk and put the entire luggage inside.
'Wow these people and very nice, Kagome seems really friendly I think that we will turn out to be pretty good friends.' Teresa thought to herself.
They all got into the car and fastened their seatbelts. The woman was driving.
"So what instrument do you play?" Kagome asked
"I play a trumpet." Teresa answered
"Is it yours or are you borrowing it from some one.'
"It's mine, it was my great, great, great grandfathers it has kind of been pasted down from generation to generation on my dad's side to the first born." "That's cool, how your family has a thing pasted down from generations."
"Yeah, kind of."
"So what do you do in America when you're bored?"
"Well, I either talk to my friends on the phone or I spend the night over at my friends house or I go to parties or roller skating. How about you?"
"Almost the same thing but a little different."
The Higurashis and Teresa were at their house. The car pulled into the driveway and they all got out. The woman opened the trunk and every one grabbed some luggage and took it up to Kagome's room. Then everyone left Kagome's room except Teresa and Kagome.
"So what's your cat's name?" Kagome asked
"Pitches." Teresa replied.
"What about your gerbil?"
"Sammy.''
"That's so cute."
"I like the Chicago Cubs."
"The cubs?"
"They're a baseball team."
"Oh, I have heard of baseball."
"Let's start unpacking your stuff."
"Okay"
"Is it okay if I take Pitches out of her cage?"
"Yeah, sure.''
Teresa opened Pitches cage and took her out. She immediately jumped out and ran around and sniffed everything. Teresa and Kagome started folding Teresa's clothes and putting them in an empty dresser that Kagome had cleared out earlier.
"Hey Teresa, What's up with all the macaroni and cheese."
"I didn't know what you guys ate here so I wanted to be prepared.''
"Oh. . . .We have plenty of American type food." "Oh well at least now you've got plenty. Hope you like Macaroni and cheese because I brought plenty of it."
"I think this is gonna be the most fun summer."
"Me too.''
They started packing and then Teresa remembered that she was supposed to call her parents.
"Hey Kagome, do you have a phone that I could use real quickly?"
"Yeah, here you go.'' Kagome handed Teresa her cordless phone that was in her room. Teresa called her parents and told them that she was safe and everything went well. She didn't stay on the phone to long because she didn't want to run up a long distance bill. Teresa hung the phone up and went back to unpacking. Teresa heard a small noise at Kagome's window and looked up and saw a guy in a big red outfit and long white hair.
"OH MY GOSH, WHAT IS THAT?!"
Teresa shouted pointing at Kagome's window. Kagome quickly turned around and saw Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome shouted, "What are you doing here?" "I was wondering what I did this time to make you go back home," Inuyasha said sounded upset and very cocky, "You just got up and ran to the well and left, I wasn't even gonna come here and get you but Shippo made me."
"I'm confused,'' said Teresa butting in to their conversation, "What's going on?"
"Who is that?" Inuyasha asked.
"This is my friend Teresa I had to go to my time so I could go with my family to pick her up at the airport." Kagome said, answering Inuyasha's question.
Teresa walked over to Inuyasha and looked at him weird.
"Why does she look so funny?'' Inuyasha asked looking at this 5'3'' American girl with Light brown hair and orange-hazel colored eyes; she was kind of thin but not skinny.
"What!" Teresa said with an upset voice, "I'm not the one with dog ears!"
"Inuyasha! She doesn't look weird she's different from us; She's from America, a different country." Kagome said. "And Teresa Inuyasha has dog ears because he's half dog demon."
"AHHH. A demon." Teresa said. Then Teresa pushed him out of the window.
"Ahhhhhh." Inuyasha said as he was falling toward the ground.
"Why did you do that?" Kagome asked Teresa
"Because he's a demon, He's evil."
"It's not like that, he's actually really nice, he just has a hard way of showing it, and he's really evil."
"Oops, is he your boyfriend or something?"
"No, just my friend." Kagome said. Kagome started blushing. She kind of liked Inuyasha because the thought of her and him being boyfriend and girlfriend was kind of what she wanted. Inuyasha was almost immediately back up in the window ledge. He had a very unhappy look on his face and he was kind of muddy because he had fallen into the wet garden below kagome's room.
"If you weren't a girl, I would kill you." Inuyasha said to Teresa.
"If I wasn't a girl wouldn't you be wondering what I was doing here." Teresa answered. "Exactly but if you were a boy you would already be dead."
"So what is going on with you and the dog boy? And why is he here? And how did he get here? And why is a demon? And are there more demons that are bad here? And. . . ." Teresa asked Kagome
"Promise not to tell anyone in the whole world?" Kagome asked Teresa.
"Yeah pinky swear." Teresa said answering and holding her pinky up. Kagome grabbed it with her pinky finger and this was a girl's way of 'this is total secret no one in the world can know and no exceptions'.
"Okay here's the truth. There is well in my backyard inside that smaller hut that I can go through and be in the past called the feudal era. Only I can go through because I am the reincarnation of this priestess named Kikyou and I had a sacred jewel inside me. Inuyasha can go through the well too. The first time that I went through the well I meet Inuyasha and he was pinned to tree with arrows. I took the arrows out and he came back to life. Anyways I ended up breaking the jewel into many pieces. Back in this era there are many demons and evil people who want the jewel shard to become more powerful. Inuyasha's father was a great dog demon and his mother was human, so Inuyasha is half human and half demon. Inuyasha is after these Jewel shards so that he and become a full demon. So we have to fight a lot of demons to get jewel shards. When some one has a jewel shard inside their body they are really hard to fight. But you can't tell anyone this because no one else knows about it except my family. Not even my best friends know."
"Don't worry I pinky sweared, remember?" Teresa said.
Pitches came up to Inuyasha and started sniffing him. Teresa picked Pitches up and said, "You won't tell any one will ya, Pitches."
"Meow."
"Can I see the well?"
"Sure."
Kagome, Inuyasha, and Teresa walked outside and on the way Teresa grabbed her trumpet, which she was so much attached to. Pitches ran around through the house. They were all in the hut and Kagome pointed to the well and said "There it is."
"Are you coming with me Kagome or are you staying here?" Inuyasha asked Kagome.
"I don't know, I want to go with you but I want to stay with Teresa . . . . . . . I've got an idea!" Kagome said. "Let's see if Teresa can go through too."
"I don't think it will work, but whatever." Inuyasha said.
Kagome and Inuyasha held hands and Teresa held Kagome's other hand. In Teresa's other hand was her trumpet. They all jumped into the well and Teresa closed her eyes because of her humanly instincts. When she opened her eyes she was in a grassy plain that had trees far off in the distance.
"I'm Teresa." Teresa said.
"Oh, hello it's nice to meet you." The woman said.
The woman held her hand out and Teresa shook it. "This is my daughter Kagome, my son Souta, and my father."
Teresa shook each one of their hands.
