Exploring
"Oooo" Shippo said turning the knobs for the sink back and forth watching the water go on and off. He was sitting on the counter beside it.
"What's this?" Miroku said going up to a standing lamp and looking under the lamp shade poked where the source of light was coming from and then jumping back.
"What's this for?" Miroku said pulling a frying pan out from a cupboard and placing it on his head.
"Is this a Play Station?" Sango said pushing the open and close button on the PS2 and watching the disc tray slide in and out, saying the word play station oddly. Kagome had told Sango a lot about her time and was starting to teach the rest about them to earlier that month.
Kagome had been following them around the house for almost two hours now trying to make sure that they didn't do any harm to anything. She was waiting for her mother, Sota and her grandfather to get home from their daily routines so that she can introduce them to her family and see if they can stay.
"That's a sink and water comes out of it. It costs money, to use the water so please shut it off" Kagome said pulling Shippo off the counter without even looking at him she was so exhausted.
"Inu-yasha please don't touch that. It's a light bulb inside a lamp which provides us with light when we need it. See here's. the switch." Kagome said turning it off as she walked by looking straight ahead.
"Miroku that's a frying pan. Please don't drop it because it might shatter and that's my mom's favourite one" Kagome said taking it off his head and placing it on the counter beside him.
"Yes Sango that's a Play Station 2. Please don't break it. If you touch inside the disk tray you could ruin it." Kagome said flopping down on the couch worn out.
'It could be worse. Miroku and Sango could have had ten kids and they could be running around the house as well.' Kagome told herself trying to look at the bright side.
Sango noticed how frustrated Kagome was and she walked up to her and sat down on the couch beside her. "Oh we're sorry Kaggy. We only wanted to find out what everything was and how it works. We promise not to be any more of a nuisance while we're here." Sango said glaring at the others for them to agree with her but she couldn't catch any of their eyes.
Kagome hugged Sango. "Thanks"
Then they looked at the door to the house and the family room. Kagome's family was home.
"Mom!" Kagome shouted and ran to her mom open arms. She had missed her mother since her hadn't seen her in over three months. She had promised that she would visit at least twice a month but they were so busy getting ready for the biggest battle of the Feudal Era that Kagome lost track of the days.
Kagome released her grip and then hugged her grandpa who was standing beside her mother with shopping bags in her hands. Then she went to hug Sota but he wasn't there. She turned around to see the two young boys staring at each other. Sota was amazed at the little hanyou fox's tail while Shippo was amazed at how funny human modern time boys looked with baseball caps, ect.
Kagome laughed. "Shippo meet Sota. Sota meet Shippo."
"Where did all these… erm… people come from?" Mrs. Higurashi asked meaning Sango, Miroku, Shippo and Inu-yasha but she was looking at Inu-yasha and Shippo.
"Hello Kagome's mother." Miroku introduced himself by going up to Mrs. H and kneeling and kissing her hand.
"Yes, hello. Kagome has told us all about you and her grandfather and Sota." Sango said walking up to Mrs. H.
Inu-yasha had ventured to the scene and Kagome had elbowed him in the ribs to say something. "Hey"
"Your Inu-yasha!" Sota yelled noticing his ears and jumping up and down trying to squeak them. Sota and Shippo had introduced themselves to each other and were going upstairs to look at Sota's room when Sota noticed the Higurashi celebrity.
Kagome's mom squealed and then started rubbing Inu-yasha's ears. She found them as cute as Kagome did. In the meantime Kagome's grandfather had run off to find his scared scrolls when he first sited the demons. He was now back and causing a scene.
"Stay away from Kagome, you DEMONS!" He threw some scrolls on them. Shippo just watched them flutter to the floor in front of him and Inu-yasha and just sit there.
"Why you old man! You're worse than Kaede!" Inu-yasha dived to try and strangle the grandfather but then Miroku stuck out his staff.
"Inu-yasha, we must respect elders. Just like we do with Kaede whether we like it or not."
Inu-yasha mumbled something and then went over to the couch and sat down.
"Mom, as you can see these are my friends from the past. Sango the demon slayer," Kagome pointed to each person as she said their name "Miroku the monk, Shippo our little fox boy" Kagome said Shippo's introduction in a baby voice rubbing Shippo's hair a ruffle "And last but not least, as you know, Inu-yasha."
THIS IS WHERE I STOPPED LAST TIME
"So will your friends be staying for dinner or are they going to be going home sooner than that?" Kagome's mother said walking into the kitchen and put her purse on the table.
A/N: We were learning about typical Japanese homes in school and I realized that I should tell you people that this isn't one of those little one room things where you roll the beds up so that you can eat breakfast and stuff. It's a full-sized house with a ton of modern day things. Unlike the show. They have none of that old sentimental traditional stuff in my story.
"Um, I think it might just be a bit longer than that" Kagome said looking innocently helpless. (A/N: Well kinda)
"About how long?" Kagome's mom says suspiciously.
"I dunno, maybe I'll show them around the house first." Kagome answered truthfully. She honestly didn't know but she didn't want her mother worried about them right them because she was having enough problems at her work as it is.
"Good idea. You can do that while your grandfather and I get started on dinner. How does ramen noodles and roast sound to you?" Mrs. Higurashi smiled.
Inu-yasha's eyes got wide and his ears twitched at the sound of Ramen.
A/N: Inu-yasha just can't get enough ramen (lol). And Kagome got him addicted to it because she always used to bring the bulk packs back from her time for him.
"Thanks mom that'll be just fine." Kagome said with a small giggle at Inu-yasha's alertness for ramen.
Kagome toured them around her house. She told them a little about each room and what it was used for. Each time they went into a new room they gasped. First she showed them the kitchen, living room, dining room, and bathroom on the main floor. Then they went upstairs and she showed them her mother's room, Sota's room, her grandfather's room, the bathroom and last her bedroom.
After that then went down the stairs to the basement. There she showed them the laundry room which Sango and Shippo had lots of questions about and it took a while to convince Shippo to come out of the "comfy" (as Shippo puts it) washing machine, and then the play room that had tons of toys everywhere. It even had a mini climber. Even Miroku and Sango couldn't be torn from it. Kagome just laughed at them. After a short argument. They went upstairs into the living room and sat on the couches and disscused the sleeping plan.
"Ok, So Sota, is it ok if Miroku sleeps in your bed and Inu-yasha sleeps on the floor?" Kagome said with all the sleeping plans written down on a piece of paper. It was hard sorting this out because Inu-yasha and Miroku were being very picky. Inu-yasha wanted just the perfect bed (refusing to sleep on the floor) and Miroku said that he need a room with a lady or really close to ones or else he would get bad dreams (this made Kagome's mom give him the evil eye).
"Ye-" Sota was interrupted.
"How come Miroku gets the bed? This is unfair! I'd rather sleep in a tree outside!" Inu-yasha pouted crossing his arms at the end of his sentence.
"Ok, then. Miroku will get the whole room to himself and he won't get attacked by the mutant raccoons they raise these days." Kagome was amazing at this little piece of reverse psychology. She always uses that kinda stuff on Sota.
"Uh… fine. But you have to let me have it every second day Miroku. Or else I'll pound your face in!" Inu-yasha wasn't quite sure what Kagome meant about mutant raccoons but he didn't think that he'd like to find out.
"So, immature" Sango muttered to Kagome in a silly voice and they both started laughing.
After they calmed down Kagome announced the rest of the plan. "Shippo, You and Sota can share grandpa's room since it has a king size bed and both of you can share the bed and sleep at opposite ends. Grandpa, you can bunk with mom or sleep on the couch, your choice. And Me and Sango will share my room."
"If that's alright with everyone we can go to the arcade until tomorrow and then we can you shop-" Kagome stopped because the door burst open and a figure with a black cloak stumbled in. (A/N: It was dark outside and it was raining with thunder. So it was that kinda scene.)
Sry, guys if I keep doing cliffy type. I just leave at each chapter. I'll try not to do cliffies 'cause people don't like 'em. Well I'm also sorry that I didn't finish this chappie. I thought I did. Anyways I hoped you liked it, keep reviewing please! Or else I'll quit this story like I did to 'A New Love' 'cause no one was reviewing.
