Chapter 2
Kagome looked out of the small window of the carriage at the passing landscape. She sighed and averted her eyes away from the window and looked at her sleeping little brother in the cushioned seat across from her.
'How can Souta sleep when we're moving?' She wondered to herself with another sigh.
Kagome had been shocked when her mother told her that they would be moving from Japan to a small town in Spain.
Kagome's mother had said that she was growing tired of the busy city life of Japan. Mrs. Higurashi had been so exited when she told her children that they were moving that Kagome didn't have the heart to tell her mother that she didn't want to move.
"Is everything okay in there?" Mrs. Higurashi's voice wafted in from the front of the carriage. She was riding up in the drivers seat.
'Sure everything is okay, mom. I just moved from the only place I have ever lived, where all my friends are to the middle of now where where I don't know anyone . Every things just peachy.' Kagome thought with a scowl.
"Everything is fine, mom." Kagome called out a reply, forcing her voice to sound cheerful.
Kagome once again looked out the window. By the looks of the sun it was about mid afternoon.
She saw a small town begin to appear on the horizon. "There's home sweet home." Kagome muttered to herself.
Souta woke just then and sat up, rubbing the sleep from his eyes. "Are we there yet?" He asked as he yawned widely.
Kagome glanced at him and smiled once she saw her brothers appearance. His dark hair was tousled from his sleep, his eyes were half closed and his clothes were rumpled from where he had slept on them.
"Yes Souta. We're almost there." She said and glanced once more out of the small window and at the town that they were drawing nearer and nearer to. The town that they would call home.
About ten minutes later, the carriage was going through the tone, the horses feet clopping along the way.
There were people every where. Running shops, shopping, elderly people sitting in chairs on sahded porches, small children running along the street, other carriages.
Kagome had no idea just how many shops this town had. Her mother had told her that there were quiet a few, but she did not expect this.
There were stands lined up. There was one selling fine silks, another selling jewelry, food, there was a blacksmith shop, a tavern, a horse trader, a carpenters shop, and then there was the a building that was surrounded by a huge wall. The wall was at least as tall as two men with two large wooden doors in the middle.
"What's in there?" Souta asked as he also looked out the window.
Kagome looked closer at the walled in building and saw two or three men in uniforms walk out of the large wooden doors and walk towards the tavern. "I think that is where the soldiers are." She replied.
The carriage pulled to a stop in front of the tavern. Kagome opened the door and got out of the carriage, stretching her sore muscles from the long ride, Souta soon following.
Some of the townsfolk had stopped what the were doing to watch the new comers arrive.
'I didn't know that there would be youkai here!' Kagome thought in surprise. She was not scared of them. She had managed to harness her miko abilities well and could easily purify a demon.
She spotted a wolf youkai standing outside of the tavern staring at her. He had long black hair pulled into a high pony-tail, beautiful blue eyes, tanned skin, and he was also wearing a uniform that told all who looked at it that he was a soldier.
The wolf youkai strode over to them with a smile. "Allow me to welcome you to our town, senorita, senora, and young senor." He said, keeping his eyes trained on Kagome the entire time he spoke.
Kagome blushed and averted her gaze. She busied herself with unloading the belongings and bags from the carriage.
Mrs. Higurashi smiled. "Thank you, sire." She said politely. "I am Lin Higurashi, this is my son, Souta Higurashi and my daughter, Kagome Higurashi." She introduced them.
Koga nodded his head as each person of the family was introduced. "I am Koga, second in command. Allow me to help you with your bags." He offered and stepped forward and picked up four bags effortlessly.
Mrs. Higurashi smiled. "Thank you, Koga." She said and picked up one of her bags.
Souta followed them into the tavern.
Kagome shook her head. 'I have a feeling that Koga is going to be trouble.' She thought as she leaned back into the carriage and picked up her big fat sleeping cat. "I swear you sleep more than Souta." She muttered and walked into the tavern.
Mrs. Higurashi walked up to the counter where a girl wearing a dress that was red, her hair was a dark chocolate brown and it was back in a high pony-tail and she had pink eye shadow on.
"Hello. I would like a room for me and my family." She said.
The girl behind the bar looked about a year or two older than Kagome and smiled kindly at her. "Alright." She looked over the family. "I can get a separate room for each of you if you like." She said.
Kagome perked up at hearing this. She loved her little brother, but she didn't love the idea of sharing a room with him. "That would be wonderful!" She said before her mother could speak.
"Kagome, dear, we can't afford to have separate rooms." She said as she looked at her daughter.
Kagome's face fell slightly, but perked right back up when she saw the girls behind the bar wink at her. "Its no problem. She can work for her room. I could use some help down here any ways." She said smiling.
Mrs. Higurashi looked uncertain, but she agreed at her daughters pleading look. "Well, alright." She said.
The girl smiled then reached behind her and took two keys off of hooks on the wall. "Please follow me and I will show you to your rooms." She said and walked out from behind the bar.
A small yellow two tailed cat followed close behind. She had red eyes and a black diamond shape on her fore head.
"Oh, and who is this cute little cat?" Mrs. Higurashi asked as she knelt down to pat the cat on the head.
The girl looked down with a smile. "That's Kirara. I've had her since she was a kitten." She said and continued to walk up the stairs.
She stopped in front of one door and put the key in and un-locked it. "This your room, ma'am." She said and stepped aside so that Mrs. Higurashi could step into the room.
"It quiet lovely." She said as she looked around the room.
Koga, who had followed them, sat down Mrs. Higurashi's luggage and Souta's on the floor pf the room, still holding onto Kagome's though.
The girl walked about two or three doors away from Mrs. Higurashi's room and un-locked another door. "And this is your room." She said.
Kagome stepped in side the room and instantly had a liking for it. The walls were painted a lavender color, large glass doors that led out to a small deck outside, a wooden desk in one corner, a comfortable looking couch, a medium sized bed with a violet bed spread, and a door that led off to her own bathroom.
Koga also walked in and sat her bags on her bed. "Nice room." He said and looked around. He turned his gaze to Kagome. "Maybe I'll see you around sometime?" He asked with a smile.
Kagome turned to him with a small smile on her face. "Perhaps." She said. She sighed in relief when Koga walked out of her bedroom door and out of sight.
The girl that showed Kagome her room laughed. "I think Koga has a liking for you." She said and stepped into the room.
Kagome also laughed. "Well, I'm not at all interested." She said. "By the way, I'm Kagome." She said and held out her hand.
"I'm Sango." The girl now known as Sango replied and shook Kagome's out stretched hand.
"So, when do I start work?" She asked.
Sango thought for a moment before she replied. "Don't worry about starting until tomorrow after noon. That way you'll have time to get settled in." She said and bent down and picked up her two tailed cat named Kirara.
Kagome smiled and nodded her head. "Alright. I'll see you tomorrow then." She said.
Sango smiled and began to walk out the door. "If not before." She replied as she began to walk down the stairs.
"Maybe it won't be so bad here after all." She said to Buyu who was lounging on her bed.
"Kagome, mom wants you to go and un-hitch the horses from the carriage and take them to the barn in the plaza." Souta called from her door.
Kagome sighed and walked out of her room, down the stairs and into the bright sunshine of the afternoon.
"Excuse me, where can I put my carriage?" She asked a man with long white hair.
The man turned to her with an expressionless face. "Behind the tavern, girl." He replied in a mono toned voice. He turned and walked away.
"He was friendly." Kagome muttered as she walked over to the carriage.
After taking the carriage behind the tavern she un-hitched the two horses and began to lead them to the barn.
One lead rope was in the her right, the other in the left.
She was deep in thought about her new home and didn't really noticed when she was going.
A wagon pulled by a single horse came rushing around the turn. It was hauling a supply of lumber that should have been delivered earlier that morning, but it had been delayed because of a broken wheel, and now the driver was going as quickly as possible to try and make up for lost time.
The front wheel of the wagon hit a rut in the road, causing the lumber in the back of it to fall out with a loud clatter.
The sudden noise startled Kagome's horses and one pulled the rope right out of Kagome's hand, causing her to cry out in pain as the rope burned her hand.
The other horse began to rear up and strike out with its front legs. The horse landed on its legs, then reared up again, knocking into Kagome with its shoulder in the process.
The force of the blow caused Kagome to fall over and land in dangerous striking range of the horses flailing hooves.
Kagome watched as if in slow motion as the horses front legs began to come crashing down on top of her.
