Chapter #1
Kagome and Sango surveyed their apartment with identical looks.
Major disappointment.
They had begged their parents to let them go on this trip. They were, after all, almost seniors. Kinda.
They were responsible enough.
They were also best friends, they'd always have someone to talk to, and look out for.
They even swore to call every day.
And really, New York was the chance of a lifetime.
Do the schoolwork, meet new people, get through the classes, and then spend the rest of your time shopping, at cafes, poetry readings, art galleries, museums, plays...does that sound like paradise or what?
Their parents had been doubtful, as parents usually are.
They were two young girls in high school. Didn't they want to wait until their senior year for the big exchange program?
But they had argued, and they had gotten their way.
They packed, they flew, they even took pictures of the nice foreign cabdriver, and now they were here.
At the assigned apartment.
Where they were expect to spend the rest of the school year.
"This sucks," Sango announced. Then she squinted at the lamp in the corner. It was shaped like a hula dancer. Can you say 'tacky'?
"This...this is where we're expected to spend the rest of our junior year?" Kagome looked in horror at the plaid couch, the pink curtains, and the very very lime green carpet.
The décor obviously needs work, Kagome decided. Very nasty. This place really needs a change. She looked at the tye-dye wallpaper. Such as a decorator who isn't blind.
"I don't think I shall ever survive!" Kagome threw herself on the plaid couch, and tossed her head back in a very dramatic fashion. "Never have I seen an apartment such as this...this..."
"Monstrosity?" Sango offered cheerfully.
"Exactly," Kagome agreed, sitting up and glaring at a canary colored armchair.
"I never should have signed you up for that Shakespeare class." Sango sighed as her friend started wailing and weeping over the magenta curtains, and started to walk around. "This place isn't so bad, Kagome." She peered into the two bedrooms. "I get dibs on the black room!"
"You would," Kagome grumbled. "So what does that leave me with?"
"Check it out for yourself!" Her friend yelled from the other room.
Skipping happily on the bouncy green carpet, Kagome swung open her bedroom door.
It wasn't too bad.
Just very...blah.
It had to be the only room in the whole apartment with nothing on the walls but a mirror, some lights, and a window.
Even the bed was plain.
White sheets, grey rugs, and tan walls...yuck. How boring.
Sango popped in and looked the room over.
Throwing her arm around Kagome's shoulders, Sango sang cheerfully, "Don't you worry, Kag mah dear! This place may stink, but never fear! A trip to the nearest bookstore should perk you right up."
"And after that, coffee and cinnamon donuts?" Kagome asked hopefully.
She had a weakness for cinnamon donuts.
"Definitely," Sango agreed. "New York is gonna be awesome, Kag. And tomorrow we have school to look forward to. Common, Kagome, school in New York. This is gonna rock."
Kagome looked at her bedroom, and then at her smiling friend.
"If you say so." Throwing her arm around Sango, the two girls locked up and went out to see whatever they could find to see.
Honking, yelling, music, and swearing sounds darted and bounced around the streets.
It certainly was New York.
How was that for a beginning? I know it was short, but that's how my chapters usually are.
In the next chapter I'm going to introduce Inuyasha and Mirku. I think.
I'm really sorry if you don't like my couplings, but please don't flame.
I'm a very sensitive person y'know.
