Meeting Kagome
chapter 2
The cusins let go of one another. Christina grabbed one of her bags while Hojo grabbed the other. They placed them into Hojo's car and drove off.
"So Hojo how is that girl doing , you know the one from your school, oh what her name oh yeah Kagome." Christina asked her cusin, because she knew he really liked this girl. Christina sat there thinking about what her father and told her. 'Now I just have to find the bone eaters well, so I can go back to my time.' she thought.
"Well I was goin to see her after we got your things put away. We'll ride some bikes over there." Hojo glanced at his cusin, "What is wrong Christina?"
Christina stiffened. "Oh nothing I'm just thinking about how fun it will be to live here."
They reached the house. Ki already had some food for them when they got there.
"Thanx aunt Ki that was good. A lot better than airplane food."Christina said sittng back in her chair patting her stomach. "Hojo are you ready to go see that Kagome girl?"
Hojo got up from the table and took Christina and his mothers plates along with his to the sink. "Yeah just let me get the bikes. Mom is it alright for Christina to use your bike?" he asked his mom.
Ki looked at her son. "of course just put it back when you are done." she said at she started to wash the dishes.
Christina and Hojo rode the bikes about five blocks from his house. "Hey Chris, here we are."
They arrived at a shrine with a huge tree off to the side of it and a few small buildings around. There was also small house off to the left of the big tree. Christina looked up at the tree and noticed an arrow head still in the hole of the tree. She wondered if this was the tree her mother found her under. Then an old man came up to them. "This tree is called the god tree it's over 500 years old. Would you like to know about it?"
"yes...."Christina was about to say until Hojo interrupted her.
"Not today I'm sorry, We came to visit Kagome is she allowed to see anyone today?" Hojo asked the old man.
"Oh yes she is ok now. I will go fetch her, wait right here." with that the old man ran to the house.
Christina looked at here cusin." Hojo, does Kagome own a dog or something?" she sniffed the air again the whole place smelt like dog, espeically near one of the little buildings. "What is that building over there?" she asked.
"I don't think she owns a dog. That building is over the bone eaters well legend has it that in the old times they used to put the bodies of demons into the well. Why so interested in the well?"
"OH Hojo so nice to see you, who is your friend?" a girl with long raven hair and brown eyes came out to greet them.
Hojo smiled at the girl and waved her over to them."This is my cusin Christina, she came here from the US she'll be living with my mom and me for a while. how are you feeling, does your mouth still hurt I know that getting your teeth pulled must've hurt really bad."
"Hi" Christina said "You must be Kagome. I've heard so much about you. I'm so sorry that you miss so much school from being sick, but I know that my cusin would be glad to help you get better, you know he really likes you." she said while Hojo started to blush. Kagome and Christina started to laugh. Hojo started to laugh too. Christina stopped and sniffed the air again and looked at the well house. She could tell there was something or some one in there. 'it must be that dog I smelt.' "hey Kagome do you own a dog?"
Kagome stiffend up "oh no why do you ask?"
"Oh I was just wondering, dogs really don't like me too much." Christina said. "Well Kagome what are you doing tomorrow? It's saturday maybe you and Hojo could show me around alittle. I would love to get to see Toyko." Christina asked her.
Kagome looked at Hojo and then back to Christina. "Yeah sure I would love to show you around. What time do you want to meet tomorrow."
"How about eleven so that we could go eat lunch somewhere." Christina said.
"That would be great. We'll meet here then ok. It was nice meeting you, but I have to do some homework so I'll cya later. bye" Kagome said going back into the house.
Hojo looked at his cusin. "But Christina you already know your way around town." Christina just winked at him.
"Well you are always saying that you never get a chance to spend time with her. Well now is you chance, make it count." she said smiling at him. Hojo just smiled back.
"Well lets go home it's almost time for dinner." They got on their bikes and went back to Hojo house. The next day was going to be fun. Hojo and Christina made it back to his house. Aunt Ki pocked her head out her head out the door.
"Hojo, Christina time to eat."
"Coming Aunt Ki." Christina said turning to the door. 'tomorrow night I'm goin to that well, while everyone else is asleep.'
