Again, I only own my characters, so don't kill me.
Hekele Masuyo-Yes it does! And I wanted to base Serenity on you(Of course I would've asked), but your character is to violent for the name. But that's okay, I like you anyway! I hope you write more stories! Maybe we can talk sometime...E-mail me.
When I was writing this chapter, I realized that in the last chapter I had forgotten to tell ya where Shadow sleeps. She sleeps in the guest room with Star and Serenity. For now.
If I miss something, or forget something, please tell me. I would appreciate it greatly.
Come on guys, R & R!
Chapter 2: Inuyasha's visit, and 500 years into the past
"...and so now I travel back and forth between the two worlds. That's why I wasn't home when you got here."
Kagome finished talking and looked at her new friends for their reactions. Storm looked amused, Serenity looked surprised, Shadow(sitting on Kagome's desk table) had the same expression as Storm: amused. Star had an eyebrow raised and had a faint smile.
"No wonder I could never reach you when I called." Storm remarked, thinking back to the times when she had gotten Kagome's grandfather and been told some lie, "I thought you were out with a boy."
Kagome shrugged, "I am...kinda. Boys' are to much trouble to handle with going back and forth from the past and the future."
The girls nodded in understanding, they knew what it was like to have to deal with boys and something that mattered more than life sometimes.
"Well," Star said, "now that we've taken care of clearing things up, how 'bout some lunch? I'm starved."
Shadow and Storm laughed, they knew Star and she was always hungry.
Serenity gave a small smile, then leaned over toward Kagome and said, "I always thought her power was high metabolism."
Kagome laughed and the others stopped in surprise. Kagome's laugh was so beautiful. It sounded like many bells, ringing at once.
"Your name should be 'Sound'." Storm said, "You certainly have beautiful ones."
Kagome smiled, then she said, "Okay, no problem guys, let's go and get some lunch. I'm hungry too."
They got up and filed out of the room.
Heading downstairs, Kagome went to the cupboards and got out some Ramen packets.
"Ramen anyone?" She asked, smiling.
They all nodded happily.
"Yes, most definitely!" They said in unison.
Kagome laughed and went about making it.
"So, Kagome, you left the Feudal era today, right?" Shadow asked, and when Kagome nodded, said, "So when are you going back?"
Kagome went to answer when Ms. Higurashi walked in. She was carrying a small bag and had on her overcoat.
"You girls don't have school tomorrow. There's been some sort of threat to the school." She said, reaching into the refrigerator and getting a small bottle of water.
Kagome looked at her mother with disbelief on her face, "Your kidding? A threat made to my school?"
"Yeah," She said, "And by the way Kagome, your cousin from is coming."
"Which one?" Kagome asked, a bit curious.
"The one from America." Ms. Higurashi said, opening the bottle and taking a sip, "She'll be here tomorrow night, somewhere between 9 and 10."
"Really? Cool. I like her." Kagome said with a small smile, then went back to cooking the Ramen.
"But for now I'm off to your aunt's house. Please be good, it's overnight." She said, picking her bag back up and heading for the foyer.
FLUMPCRASH
Beep...BEep...BEEp...BEEP...BEEP...BEEP...CRASH
The girls looked up toward Kagome's room and she frowned.
"KAGOME!"
Something from behind the counter growled, and when the four girls looked over there, they saw Kagome red in the face and angry.
"Kagome, will you please get yourself a new alarm clock to? You need one...now." Ms. Higurashi said, walking out the door with Souto and her father in tow.
Kagome groaned, moved the pot to a different burner, and began to go upstairs.
"Should we follow her?" Serenity asked in a small voice.
Storm nodded, "I think she'd call us up anyway."
They went up the staircase and met up with Kagome, standing at the top.
"I was just gunna call y'all up." She said, a forced smile on her face.
"I know." Storm said, smiling at her.
Kagome turned around and walked back to her room.
Storm's POV
We all walked behind Kagome as she headed back toward our room.
I stepped in the room and my eyes widened right away.
Sitting on the floor was a guy with silver hair, wearing a red samurai outfit.
"Guys," Kagome said grimly, gesturing to the guy on the floor, "This is Inuyasha, a dead man."
We giggled at her words, and I stepped forward.
"Hi," I said, smiling at him, "I'm Storm."
He growled at me and I looked up at Kagome.
"What's his problem?" I asked.
"He hurt his ears with the alarm clock." She said to me, then turned to Inuyasha, "I told you not to come in that window anymore. Remember?"
He closed his eyes a minute and thought.
"Oh Yeah." He said, nodding, "I 'member now. Okay, sorry I broke your alarm clock."
Kagome softened, "Really?"
"Yeah, but next time, you better keep it away from the window, wench!" He smirked.
Kagome's face hardened.
"Si-"
Before she could finish the word, Inuyasha's hand was over her mouth.
"Please don't say it...please..." Inuyasha said, actually sounding sorry.
Kagome nodded, and when he took his hand off, she glomped him.
I smiled at them, and at the look on Inuyasha's face when Kagome's arms were around his neck.
Someone used to look at me that way...
Flashback
"Storm, I'll never leave you. I promise." Mark said, holding me close.
"Really?" I said, looking up at him.
"Of course, I love you." He said, as though it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"I...I love you too." I replied softly, leaning forward.
Our lips met and I felt a chill run through me.
"I'll never cast you aside." He said, his lips against my neck.
He was lied, just as everyone before him had. They all lied, everyone, that is, but Shadow, Star, and Serenity.
How I wish...
End Flashback
"So," I said, forcing cheerfulness into my voice, "Let's go eat that Ramen."
Kagome looked stricken for a moment, until Serenity said, "You put it on the back burner."
Reminded by this, Kagome smiled and pushed through us, heading back downstairs to finish making the Ramen.
Inuyasha followed her down and the rest of us shrugged at each other, a bit confused about what had just happened.
Regular POV
The girls got in the kitchen to find Inuyasha sitting at the table, eating Ramen so fast you could barely see it.
Kagome was stirring what looked like more Ramen, and they saw the large pot on the table.
Sitting down, they all dug in, until Star asked, "So Inuyasha, what brings you here?"
Inuyasha turned red at the question but answered anyway.
"The brat was annoying me."
"Inuyasha!" Kagome scolded, shaking the wooden spoon at him, "You know Shippo looks at you like a father!"
Inuyasha shrugged a shoulder, but knew she was right.
'And I look at him like a pup.' Inuyasha thought.
Then he shook his head and looked over to where the raven-haired girl was stirring something in a large pot.
"Kagome? Could we head back to the Feudal era? We have to go look for more shards." He said, hope in his voice.
"We can't Inuyasha, my new sisters are here and I want to settle them in." Kagome said, shaking her head, "And my cousin is arriving late tomorrow night and I want to be here to introduce her to these guys."
"They can come, we won't go far, I'll have you at the well before sunset. And we can wait a little bit while they settle in a bit...Right?" Inuyasha asked, wanting to be in his era one night with Kagome. Besides, Shippo wanted to see his adoptive mother, and Sango wanted to have some girl-talk, whatever that was.
"Oh, could we Kagome? We'll help make sure we're back before sunset." Storm asked, all four girls with large puppy eyes.
Kagome looked away, but still couldn't conceal the small smile that crept up at the sight of her sisters' faces'.
"Well..." She said, not wanting to say yes right away.
"Please? We won't be long." Star said, with Shadow nodding.
"Well...Okay...but hurry up and go now." Kagome relented.
As the girls arranged their possessions, Kagome wrote a note to her mother, telling her they had all gone to the Feudal era for a bit and would be back before sunset, only two hours before her cousin was due.
The she sighed and went upstairs to pack her bag once more.
All Girls
I took out my backpack and got some clothes. Putting them on the bottom, I grabbed some bathroom stuff and other important things. When I was finished putting all that in, I remembered my box.
I went over to my bedside table and took out the small steel box. It had a lock on it, and for good reason. This box held the secrets. Secrets of me, my friends, my world. I couldn't let anyone get a hold of this.
Placing it in the backpack, I hoisted it onto my shoulder and walked toward the kitchen, where we all decided to meet.
Regular
Inuyasha raised an eyebrow when they walked in, but didn't say anything.
"I think we're all ready, Inuyasha." Kagome said, looking around at everyone.
"Uh...Yeah..." He said, then gestured for them to follow him.
"Let's go guys, I'm tired and Sango probably wants to talk." Kagome said wearily, it seemed like she was tired and needed a rest.
'Can't Inuyasha sense this kinda stuff?' Storm thought, getting worried for her friend.
They rest of them(besides Inuyasha) were a little concerned for their new sister as well, but knew she'd be okay.
When they got to the well house, Inuyasha and Kagome stopped in front of them all.
"Okay," Kagome started, yawning, "The well works like this: to get through you need a jewel shard or to be with Inuyasha or me. Otherwise, it's just a hole in the ground."
She smiled softly at her friends, and they knew she needed rest. After all, she was in the Feudal era when they arrived, so she must've not gotten such a good rest.
Then she spoke again, after thinking for a minute.
"Storm and Shadow will come with me. Serenity and Star will go with Inuyasha." She said, "Okay?"
Everyone nodded and she told Inuyasha to go first.
Giving her one last glance, he grabbed the two girls and jumped in. A blue light engulfed them all, and Kagome decided to wait a few seconds to let them get to the top.
Then she grabbed the hands of the other two girls and they jumped in together.
The last thing she saw was the familiar blue light and she closed her eyes, wanting nothing more than to go to sleep.
'Come on...when we get to Keade's hut I'll rest.' Kagome thought, yawning again.
When they light disappeared, Inuyasha jumped down and took the two girls to the top. Then he came back for Kagome.
"Inuyasha..." She whispered, but he didn't hear.
A young woman had just yelled, and the result being the temporary deafness of Inuyasha.
When they got to the top and Inuyasha and put Kagome down, they could see what the commotion was about. Miroku was lying on the ground unconscious, and Shadow was breathing heavily.
Sango was trying to hide a smile behind her hand.
Kagome closed her eyes for a minute, and then opened them to find Miroku standing up.
"Guys, let me introduce my new sisters, Storm, Shadow, Star, and Serenity." Kagome said, "They want to help us on our quest."
"But Kagome..." Miroku said, "How can they help us?"
