Chapter 2 - New Family, New Life?
Kagome couldn't believe that she was taken away from her friends. The social worker had said that she could only be in the care of an orphanage, away from the people she knew. The only way the Kais could take care of her would be for them to adopt her, if they could find the orphanage. This sucks, thought Kagome. She hoped that they'd be able to find her soon and adopt her.
Soon the sound of children running out of the room filled her ears. She looked up as one of the other girls tugged at one of her sleeves. "C'mon Kagome-chan. There is a couple downstairs! Don't you want them to adopt you?" the girl asked. Kagome shook her head, but followed anyway, hoping it was Mr. You Tai Kai, Sesshoumaru and Inu Yasha's father.
As she reached the bottom step, she looked at the couple in disappointment. It wasn't whom she had hoped for. There wasn't even a strand of silver hair in the room. She studied the couple closely. The man was smiling, but Kagome could see the small shimmer of coldness in his dark-colored eyes. His long, wavy, black hair was tied up in a ponytail at the base of his neck. The woman, his wife, didn't seem as cold as her husband. Her hair was like the man's, only straight.
The girl stayed on the bottom step, curled up to the side so that she might go unnoticed. It didn't work. The woman turned and saw her right away. "Oh Nara-koi, look at that one. Isn't she just adorable?" she said towards her husband. He then turned his attention to Kagome. "I don't know Kikyo. I thought we wanted a younger child, so that Mayumi may have a younger sibling," he assumed. As they talked for a few more minutes and looked at the other children, they finally decided which they were taking home and went to the front office. The head of the orphanage came out and made a beeline for Kagome. "Sweetie, we have a nice couple in the office who are interested in you. Would you like to go meet them?" she inquired as the girl shook her head. She gave a sigh, "Well, Deary, they've got their hearts set on you." Kagome once again shook her head. Sesshoumaru will find me, she thought to herself.
After getting tired of the woman nagging at her, she finally got up and followed her. In the office, she met the couple with a fake smile. They talked to her for a while. Kagome decided that if they really liked her, she wouldn't mind being adopted by them. No matter how much she loved Sesshoumaru and his family, she couldn't wait for them forever. The food in the orphanage was dreadful, and by the sounds of it, the couple was worth millions. That meant they would feed her and clothe her. Kagome agreed to be adopted and put on a happy façade. Inside, though, she wondered what would become of Sesshoumaru.
When she finally got out of the limousine, she stared at the large house — no — mansion in front of her. She knew this family was rich, but she didn't expect this rich. The foundation of the mansion was built in a large valley with bright green grass. Flowers were in bloom as spring was slowly fading into summer. The trees were large with at least one branch with a nest on it. Everywhere Kagome looked, she was greeted by the stunning view of the mountains.
The mansion itself was a beauty. Its architecture was that of ancient Japan. The roofs were built at a triangular form, curving at the end. The veranda had its wooden fence-like poles. As she entered the sliding doors, Kagome saw that inside was just as traditional as the outside. She slid off her shoes and looked at the large sitting area. Before she could say what she thought of the place, a little girl at the age of six came bouncing out of a hallway.
"Mommy, Daddy, do I have a little sister, or a little brother?" she asked right away. She then saw Kagome next to her mother. She studied the older girl for a while and decided an older sibling was better. She took Kagome's hand and led her to the bedroom that the new member of the family would be staying. Kagome instantly settled on liking this kid. They spent the rest of the day hanging out and going over the rules of the house.
Kagome looked at the number on the dorm room door. According to the note her father, Naraku, had given her, this was the dorm her little sister, Mayumi, was staying in. She knocked lightly on the door. When no one answered, she instantly scolded herself for forgetting. All through the years, Kagome has learned that her little stepsister would have on her headphones, listening to rock music at full blast. She tried to figure out a way she could open the door by herself, or how to get the little punk to open up, when the floor manager walked by.
"May I help you, Miss?" the young man asked her. Kagome looked at him. "Yes," she answered, "this happens to be my sister's room, and she won't open up since she's… preoccupied." The man looked at her and nodded. He took out a large ring that held each room key for the fifth floor of the dorm building. He quickly found the correct key and unlocked the door. "Thank you… what's you're name?" Kagome questioned.
"Hojo. And it was my pleasure. What was your name?" he inquired in return.
"Kagome Higurashi," she answered. She had begged her foster parents that she kept her last name. It was the only thing she had left to remember her previous family. That, and a picture with the whole family in it, that was taken when Souta was only a few weeks old. The two shook hands, and the guy left. Kagome entered the room. Just as she thought, her sister was on the bed, with headphones on and was head banging to what sounded like Linkin Park. Kagome, still with her childish immaturity, leapt in front of her younger sister.
Mayumi gave a shriek of surprise as her older sister suddenly appeared beside her. "How'd you get in? The door was locked," she said after regaining her breath. Kagome gave a small laugh as she told her about Hojo.
"I think he likes me…" Kagome said. Mayumi rolled her eyes. Boy-crazy girls… She gave a sigh and told her sister that she can do better than "Hobo". The rest of the day was spent just talking. Tomorrow classes would start. Kagome couldn't believe how easily she had gotten accustomed to her new family and life. But a day never passed without her thinking of her old friend, Sesshoumaru Kai.
Junsui: Aha! Be proud of me! It's longer than the last chapter!
Sakura: It's still pretty short…
Harushi: Be quiet Saku-chan, you know Jun-chan can't keep her train of thought for more than 30 minutes…
Junsui: I can too! I'm just too lazy and tired to write more… pout
Sakura/Harushi: Sure… uh huh…
Junsui: You guys! Anyway, review please! Abayo!
Harushi: We're so proud of you…
Sakura: Wow… you're updating??
Junsui: Yes… -.-;; On wit da fic!
