Chapter 1: The S's
"Kagome?"
Kagome looked up toward the roof of the well house and sees her mother.
"Yes mum?"
"Can you come up here? I got a surprise." She said, then her head disappeared and Kagome could hear her footsteps fade.
Groaning, she stepped over to the ladder she had placed in the well and climbed up, dropping her large yellow backpack on the floor.
After a few minutes she picked it back up and walked toward the house, her thoughts consumed with a certain silver-haired hanyou.
Inuyasha...
Flashback
"You are not going, we have to keep searching for jewel shards!"
Inuyasha was following Kagome to the well, complaining that she was going back to her time and wasn't staying to find more jewel shards.
"Inuyasha! I promised my mum I would be back this morning and stay for more than a few hours. Hopefully I can stay a few days!" Kagome said, walking quicker.
"Lady Kagome, you know as well as we know that he doesn't want you to go because he doesn't want to sleep alone." Miroku stated.
Inuyasha and Kagome blushed and Inuyasha took after Miroku.
Sango walked over to where Kagome was standing and stood next to her.
They watched as Inuyasha chased Miroku around the small field in which the well was located.
Inuyasha dropped Kagomes Backpack and began to chase the stupid monk faster. Until, that is, Kagome got bored and decided to stop it.
"Sit."
The crash of Inuyasha hitting the ground mixed in with the laughter of Miroku, Sange and Kagome.
"Serves you right Inuyasha. Next time just ignore him!" Kagome said, then grabbed her backpack and slung it over her shoulders.
"I'll be back soon!" Kagome said, jumping into the well.
End Flashback
Kagome sighed as she opened the kitchen door and dropped her backpack.
She fell back against the wall and slid down to the floor.
"Kagome!"
She sighed once more as her mum called again, this time from the living room.
She got up and, leaving her backpack where it was, walked through the foyer and into the living room.
Kagome's POV
I stepped into the living room and stopped short when I saw four girls standing on the couch.
I looked at my mum, giving her a questionable look.
"Mum, who are these people?" I asked, a bit confused.
I watched her and she opened her mouth, ready to speak.
"Kagome."
The voice came from the couch, and my head swung there.
It was Storm, sitting on the right end of the couch.
"Storm?"
"Hi Kagome. Listen, I'll tell you everything once we get to your room.
but for now, I'll introduce you to everyone." She said, shuffling to get
more comfortable.
She had mid-back red-brown hair with bright blond streaks, gold eyes, and was around my height. She was wearing tight black jeans with a red tank top and had a black bandanna with lightning bolts around her head. Three hoops of different sizes were in her ears, and you could see two small hoops in her cartilage. Her nails were black with lightning bolts and were long, her lips black with gold, and she had dark eye makeup. On her hands were a multitude of many rings and bracelets.
She smiled and pointed to the girls next to her.
"These are my best friends, besides you." She said.
"This is Shadow." She said, pointing to the black haired girl next to her.
Shadow had jet-black hair, black eyes, and seemed to be the same height of me and Storm. Like her friend, she was wearing tight black jeans, but she was wearing a black tank top and a black bandanna, this one plain. She had the same amount of holes in her ears, and similar earrings. Her nails were also like Storms, though they were plain black. Her lips shaded black, and she had black eye makeup. She had many rings like her friend, but didn't have any bracelets.
I waved to Shadow, then looked at the next person as Storm said her name.
"This is Star."
Star had blond hair with light orange streaks and gold eyes like Storm. She was wearing black jeans like her friends, but had on a gold tank top and a black bandanna with stars on it. Unlike her friends, she had two holes in each lobe, with different size hoops with a star in each. Her long nails were black, but had stars on them. Her lips were black with a gold online and she had dark eye makeup. She had rings on, too, but had rubber bands instead of bracelets.
Star smiled at me, and I smiled back.
As Storm said the next name, I looked at the next girl.
"And last of all, this is Serenity."
Serenity looked very different from her friends. She had light brown hair with red, blond, and black streaks, blue eyes with purple in them. Unlike her friends, she was wearing tight blue jeans and a dark pink tank top with a dark green bandanna with dark pink circles. She had two holes in her lobes, just like Star. Her nails were dark blue with dark pink hearts on them. Pink lipstick covered her lips and her eye makeup was dark blue, pink, and purple. Rings decorated her fingers, and she had many bracelets on.
Serenity smiled at me and I smiled back, giving a small wave.
Turning back to Storm I said, "Uh...Storm? Can you explain this?"
"Honey, I'll tell you." My mother interrupted.
"Okay then." I said, sitting on the arm of a chair and waiting for her to explain why there was four teenage girls on our living room.
"I was doing the laundry when I heard the phone ring. It was Storm, and she was looking for you. I told her that you were at school and would have you give her a call when you got home, but she was crying and I couldn't leave it at that. So I asked her what was wrong and she told me. Well, I couldn't let her live on the streets. So I called the agency and decided to take her and her three friends in. So I had them fly out the moment it was okay. Then we waited for you to get home."
As she finished, she took a breath and said with a glimmer in her eye, "So how was school?"
I was pulled out of my stupor, and said, "Um...good. Hey, where will they stay?"
She smiled, "Well...Shadow in your room with you, and the guest room will no longer be a guest room, it'll be Star and Serenity's room..."
I looked at my new sisters and we shrugged, nodding in agreement.
"That's good. Now why don't you go show them their rooms?" Mum said, and I nodded.
"Kagome, we'll talk when we get upstairs, I promise." Storm said, probably feeling a little guilty.
"Okay." I agreed.
Regular POV
Kagome led the girls to the guest room, opening the door and saying to Star and Serenity, "This is your room...just put your stuff inside and we'll unpack later."
"Okay." they agreed in unison.
Kagome then led them to her room and opened the door,
"This is my room," She said, "Storm, this'll be where you'll stay. We can talk in here."
They nodded and we walked in, me and Star on my bed, Storm and Serenity on the extra bed, now Storm's.
Storm's POV
I walked in after Kagome and sat down on the second bed I assumed was mine.
I was right, I soon saw, as Kagome sat on the bed opposite.
"Okay," I began, taking a breath, "we've got...powers."
I saw Kagome's face as I said that and shut my eyes.
"We were kicked out because of them." Star said, and I realized that they were going to help me out.
I took another breath and spoke again, thankful for my friends.
"Kagome," I opened my eyes, "Kagome, when we were born, our parents didn't much like us. They hated that we were different, and they shunned us most of our life. We all noticed each other because of our looks. It was as though we were drawn to each other. Soon we began talking and realized that we had gifts, not curses. Then our parents found out one night, as we were practicing outside at the local park. My mom came looking for us and when she saw what we were doing, called the other mom's and they all watched us. They became afraid and disowned us then and there. That's when your mom intervened, and brought us here."
I took a deep breath and looked at her face carefully, wishing I could read her thoughts.
"Well?" Serenity asked her.
"I love you guys even more because you told me. I would hate it if you kept anything from me. So..." Kagome said, getting a mischievous look in her eyes, "...What's your powers?"
We all giggled at the question, relieving some of the tension that had hung in the air while I told Kagome of our past. "Well," I began, "We're all Telekinetic, are very fast, are very good at swordsmanship, can use a bow and arrow very well, read and write very well, and can create and control fire. But I can also create and control storms."
"I can create and control shadow." Shadow said, "Hence my name."
"I can create and control stars," Star told her, "Hence my name."
"I can create and control peace," Serenity said softly,
Kagome sat there as we all told her our special powers and smiled faintly at the whole thing.
"Wow..." was all she said before saying, "Now I get to tell you everything."
We all waited as she smiled and reached under her bed, pulling out a book.
She passed it over to me and I saw that it was a photo album. Opening it, I saw it was filled with pictures of people I had never seen before and that looked like someone from the past. One guy looked like a Buddhist monk from ancient Japan, a girl looked like someone from an ancient festival, and someone who was dressed like an ancient samurai.
"Who're these people?" I asked, "People you know who do the yearly festivals?"
"No, those are the real thing," She said, "The monk is Miroku, he's an actual Buddhist monk, although we aren't sure if he's exactly pure...he gropes a lot. The woman is Sango, she's a demon slayer...she's real good. And the guy in the red outfit is Inuyasha, a half dog demon."
We sat there, wondering what the hell Kagome was talking about. These pictures looked recent, but they couldn't be, considering that these sort of people were myths and hundreds or years old.
"Kagome...?" I asked.
"On my 15th birthday, I chased Boyu into...."
Sorry to leave y'all here, but I gotta go and rest now, I got school in the morning. More tomorrow. Bye!
R&R!
