I envy the girl who wins THAT hottie beefcake's heart...
"Megan, these are my relatives, the Higurashis." Mama said, jerking me out of my staring fest. I whined quietly at having to look away from the eye- candy. I almost did a double take when the hat on the guy's head twitched slightly. Mama brought me out of my eye-candy fest again by telling me we had to go. I rolled my eyes a bit but followed the crowd out to the parking lot and to a van.
The guy who looked like an InuYasha incarnate loaded all out things into the back. Strangely, he handled even my dad's heavy bag like it weighed nothing.
'Which it probably was, to a demon.' I thought. I frowned slightly. Where had that thought come from? Getting into the van, I sat between my brother and the Inu-chan clone. Not surprisingly, I blushed at having such a hottie beefcake less that a foot away.
I got that funny feeling again, but this time it was two different feelings. One was radiating off the guy. It made me feel a little uneasy, like it wasn't quite evil, but was close at one point. The second was coming from the Kagome copy cat. This one almost canceled out the uneasy feeling, because it felt kind of familiar, like we were the same in some way. Probably just excitement at being in such a cool country messing with my head...
I was looking out the window enjoying the foreign-ness of Japan when I saw a tailor shop with kimonos in the window. Grinning evily, I gave a faint "heh heh heh..." and pointed it out to my mother.
"You said 'any one thing'." I reminded her quietly. I heard her groan and ask herself what she had gotten herself into. Satisfied that I had secured myself a decent kimono and my own sakura tree sapling for back home, I took the rest of the ride in silence.
I was just dozing off when the car stopped. Jerking back to full awareness, I looked at the place we were. It was a shrine of some sort and it looked really familiar. I saw the sign in front.
'Sunset Shrine...? Sounds familiar... Oh, wait, wasn't that the name of Kagome's family's shrine in the manga?' I stopped my thoughts for a second, my brain frozen in realization. 'Wait, didn't Mama say that her relatives were the Higurashis?! That means that she really IS Kagome and that his hotness really IS InuYasha!' I had to stop myself from squealing, because all of my friends know how high-pitched it is. If I squealed, it would probably, no, most likely, hurt InuYasha's ears. Following the Higurashis into the shrine, I began to wonder what would happen if Kagome said 'sit' in Italian... Or Portuguese, maybe...
I saw InuYasha glance at me and say something to Kagome. I caught a little of it, and I was surprised to find that the weren't speaking Japanese. I was puzzled at this. If they weren't speaking Japanese, then what WERE they speaking? Deciding to ponder that later, I followed Kagome as she led me to the room I was staying in with my brother.
LATER THAT NIGHT
I was getting ready for bed. The bed was twin size so that two would fit. I put on one of my wolf shirts, and got into bed. Hopefully, I won't have to sing to my brother tonight...
"Meg, can you sing to me?" he asked. I blanched and then sighed.
"Fine. Get into bed." He did so and I sat next to him. I took a deep breath and began to sing, losing myself in the melody. (AN: I no own the song, I don't remember who does.)
"My life flows on in endless song,
Above Earth's lamentation...
I hear the distant melody,
That hails a new crea-ation...
No storm can shake my inmost calm...
I hear the mu-usic ringing!
It sounds and echo-os in my soul,
How can I keep from singing?
How can I keep from sing-ing?
The gift of song makes fresh my heart,
A fountain ever springing...
All things are mine in harmony,
How can I keep from sing-ing?
No storm can shake my inmost calm...
I hear the mu-usic ringing!
It sounds and echo-os in my soul,
How can I keep from singing?
How can I keep from sing-ing?
And when my life is full of strife,
And all around me sadness...
I lift my voice in melody,
And fill my heart with gladness...
No storm can shake my inmost calm...
I hear the mu-usic ringing!
It sounds and echo-os in my soul,
How can I keep from singing?
How can I keep from sing-ing?" I ended the song and looked at my brother. He was sound asleep, lulled by the song. Smiling, I turned off the light and went to sleep myself.
I woke up early in the morning, unable to sleep longer. By the looks of things, it was still pretty early. I listened carefully, it sounded like someone was awake.
Getting dressed in jeans and a t-shirt, I put on socks and walked out to what I think was the kitchen. I found that Kagome was the one up and moving around. She appeared to be putting away ramen.
"Good morning, Higurashi-san." I said.
-looks at the shattered pieces of a writers block slowly re-assembaling themselves- Yeah... So, here's another chapter. I have ideas, I'm just stuck on how to get to them, so bare with me.
