It's All About Me
Chapter 2: Change Me
By: Shiizy
"I'm up for a change."
Kirashi smiled softly. "All right. You need a break right now. See you tomorrow, Kag! Sleep well!"
Kagome nodded and smiled. "See you tomorrow, Kirashi…"
Kirashi smiled after she saw that Kagome had fallen asleep. Sighing, she went back down stairs where Sakura was waiting. Sakura's eyes widened as she got nearer. "Who are you!" Sakura yelled, jumping to her feet. Kirashi smiled and turned back to her old lady form. Then, she turned back to Kirashi. "This is my true form. Sorry to trick you, Sakura."
Sakura rolled her eyes. "Mikos'." She mumbled and took a seat. "So how'd it go?"
Kirashi smiled.
"Tomorrow, she's quitting school and will have the proper attire. I will take her back to the Feudal Era. I will help her unleash her hidden power and her true form. I will help her forget Inuyasha."
"Good." Sakura smiled. "You do understand me, right, Kirashi? I'm just a mother who wants the best for her child. Inuyasha's a fine lad, but… he has no interest in my daughter… Except to hurt her!"
Kirashi shook her head. "I understand you, Sakura. But Inuyasha does protect Kagome a lot. But anyhow, she got extra-hurt this time."
"It's not the first time, either." Sakura sighed.
"I know. That's why I'm helping you. You have the right idea for your daughter. Your heart is in the right place. You're not trying to hurt her, and that is all that matters."
Sakura smiled at Kirashi. "Thank you."
The next morning, Kagome was woken by a screech. All of a sudden, she bolted up straight. "What in Kami's sake!" She looked at the mess in front of her. Kirashi on the ground tangled with all five of Kagome's school uniform and Buyo on top of her, scratching the clothes in attempt to get Kirashi free. Kagome couldn't help but laugh at the scene.
"I-it isn't funny!" Kirashi stuttered, embarrased.
"But, what are you doing here?" Kagome asked, curiously.
"I was getting rid of these things." Kirashi pointed at her school uniforms, as she tore herself away from them. "Also, you won't go to school from now on. Me and your mother had a big argument about that, but you've been failing anyway, so what's the use? Anyway, I got her to agree by saying that I'll teach you in the Feudal Era. Now get up and get dressed. We'll have a quick breakfast and head off to the mall." Kirashi stood up casually, dusting herself off. She shooed Buyo out of the room.
Kagome's jaw dropped. "Oh my god… I thought it was just a dream! Kami, please let this be true." Kirashi pinched Kagome on the arm. "See? It's true. Now let's not waste anymore time."
"What's our budget?" Kagome asked. Kirashi sighed. "About a million. Now hurry up! Hurry up! We are off to the Feudal Era today too! Come on!" After taking a shower, Kagome put on a mini skirt and a matching pink blouse. She tied her hair into a high ponytail and put on some sandals.
"Say… Where'd you get all that money, Kirashi?" Kagome questioned.
"Who…? Me…! Oh yeah! Me! I can... er... make money...? W-well, they're not real-real money! B-but they're real! Or, you can say, exact photo copies of the real-real ones that they can be considered as real!" Kirashi looked at her feet, taking a sudden interest in them.
Kagome's eyes widened. "So we have NO budget!"
Kirashi looked up andgrinned. "You got it."
Kagome almost fainted as she sighed, "This is too good to be true."
Kirashi chuckled as she dragged Kagome out of the room. "Eat! E-a-t! Eat! E-a-t! Eat! E-a-t! Eat!" Kirashi urged, as if she was coaching a cheerleading team.
Kagome rolled her eyes as she finished her cereal.
Sakura and Sota just looked at each other. As soon as Kagome finished, Kirashi grabbed her wrist and they were off to the door. "Bye Mom, Granpa, and Sota!" Kagome yelled.
At the mall, Kagome looked around in awe. "I cant believe we are in the mall and I can buy absolutely anything I want."
Kirashi raised an eyebrow. "Surely you can't buy these people?"
Kagome laughed. "No! I meant what they're selling."
Kirashi nodded. "All right. First, we are going to look for your outfit."
The two walked around together, looking for the right outfit. They were on theirfifth store, when Kishari gasped. "Kagome! Take a look at these!"
Kishari was in the staff room, where no one but staff was allowed. They were in some kind of goth store. Looking right and left, Kagome tiptoed to the staff room.
"Kishari! Don't you know we can get in trouble by even standing in this room?" Kagome hissed, keeping her voice low. She looked around nervously. She wanted to get out of the store and fast!
Kishari rolled her eyes. "Look at this!" She pointed. Kagome gasped. It was certainly not gothic. Infact, it was perfect!
It was cloudy blue and it was just like a kimono. Where you would normally have a sash, it had a red satin bow. If you look down, you will also see that instead of the kimono being a dress-sort-of-thing, it was just like pants. Only it was carefully hidden in slitsto make it look like a dress.
Kishari grinned. "You can certainly move around in these, Kagome!"
Kishari took all ten of them. "Come on. Let's go."
Kagome stayed glued to the spot. "B-but what if it's not for sale?"
Kishari's eyes turned sharp. "Then we'll steal it."
Kagome gulped. Kishari meant it. "Kagome, take my hand."
Kagome raised a brow, but took her hand obediantly. "Now what?" She asked.
Kirashi looked at Kagome like she was an ant she wanted to squish. "We're invisible, dummy!Now come on."
As soon as they were out of the store and out of the whole mall, Kirashi let go. "We'll take these home first." They turned back home and dropped the kimonos' on Kagome's bed. They were surprised to find out that the house was suddenly empty. "Where's everybody?" Kagome asked.
"They probably took a stroll on the park or something. Come on. Second step, get that hair done." Kirashi tapped her foot impatiently. They left the house once again, looking for a hair salon. They finally spotted one down town.
They enteredit, lost for words.
"So… which hairstyle?" Kagome asked nervously.
There were all sorts of pictures of hair styles and combos glued all over the walls. There was a wide selection. Over 50!
Kirashi looked around. Finally, she pointed at a picture, which Kagome gasped at. "Whoa…" She mumbled.
A helper appeared and asked them which hairstyle. When they pointed to the one they liked, the helper's eye widened. "Wow… it's been a while since we have had rich people come here. That's the hairstyle that everyone likes. But it's so expensive."
After the Kagome's hair was done, Kirashi could do nothing but gawk.
Kagome's hair was braided on both sides of her head. Then rolled and tied up on both sides of her head like a mini bun. They did not roll up all of her hair. They left even lengths of hair on each side and then joined them together into one braid and tied it up with a blue satin bow, matching her kimono, which was at home.
They paid and left. When the two got back home, Sakura and Sota were there. Granpa was at the shrine and Buyo in the kitchen. Kirashi hid Kagome, telling Sota and Sakura that it was a surprise and that they will see when they come down. It wasn't an easy task, because Sota kept on trying to look behind Kirashi and Kirashi knew that if she turned around, Sakura will see Kagome.
When the two arrived saftely inside Kagome's room, Kirashi locked it quickly and sighed, exausted.
"All right. Put on your kimono, after this." Kirashi instructed, putting on red ruby studs on Kagome's ears.
Kagome put on her kimono and found that it fit comfortably well on her. It showed most of her curves, proving that Kagome had one sexy body. The kimono was just like pants and you were able to do a split with it on. It looked just like a dress, but there were slits on both ends of the dress, hiding the pants slightly. The earings matched the red satin bow that was used to tie the kimono up. Kagome's hair bow matched the entire kimono.
"Oh, and one last thing," Kirashi said, pulling out a paper bag. Inside, it contained blue sandals that looked like flip-flops. The straps were red and it totally went with Kagome's whole outfit. Kagome tried it on and looked at herself on the mirror. She stared at herself for a minute. She looked nothing like Kikyo and that was good. She had to admit herself. She looked beautiful!
"Oh yes, and this." Kirashi handed her a blue strap bag. It was just like her school bag, only it was blue and had red buckles. You only swing it on one shoulder and the strap goes diagonal from your shoulder, to your chest, to your stomach, and then to your waist on the other side of your body, where the bag is. (A/N: Okay, a strap/shoulder bag, to make it more easier.) Inside were her kimonos.
"You will not carry that humongous bag with you any longer. Instead, that bag will take it's place." Kirashi said.
"I match all over." Kagome laughed. Kirashi nodded and her face turned very serious. "I want to tell you something, Kagome. When we arrive at the Feudal Era, you will act cold to Inuyasha. You shall not speak to him. You will ignore him like he's invisible and unleash your hatred."
Kagome turned to Kirashi and lifted a brow. "Why is that? I dont really have to, right? Come on, Kirashi. Let's just forget about the whole thing."
Kirashi turned sharp and ferocious, her face looked murderous. "You will do as I say." Kirashi's voice changed, as though she had suddenly wanted to eat Kagome. It was one of those do-that-and-I'll-kill-you tone.
Kagome's face dropped and she backed away. "Oh... Um... All right..." Kirashi growled in response. "Well then, hurry down stairs." And with that, she turned away and left. As soon as she was out the door, Kirashi sighed and pleaded in her head, 'Please forgive me Kagome. Your mother is right. It's for your own good.'
Kagome sighed and rushed out the door. When she did, her family started charging over her, telling her how beautiful she was. She gave them a grin and a few responses, and then headed to Kirashi. "I'm ready." She told her. Kirashi nodded. "I will be inside you, guiding you like I am your conscience. We will start trainingon midnight, excatly your birthday. You may show affection to everyone but Inuyasha. Got that?" Kirashi asked, spitting out the last couple of words like poison. Kagome nodded. "Well then, good luck, Kag." Kirashi gave her a soft smile and disappeared. Kagome felt something go through her, like the wind.
Wasting no more time, Kagome held onto her bag tight and jumped down the well.
When Kagome arrived in the Feudal Era, she headed to the village, smiling.
'Remember. Anyone but Inuyasha. Anyone but Inuyasha. Act Extra Sweet To Anyone But Inuyasha.'
Kagome sighed and rolled her eyes. She can defiantly tell if it was her real consience or Kirashi.
When she got to the village, she found it cheery, as usual. She entered into Keade's hut. "Oi! Will ye look at dat!" Keade said, as she stood up. "Kagome! Where have ye been?" Kagome smiled at Keade. "I just took a break, thanks Keade-san. Besides, I was only away for a day! Where's everyone?"
Keade smiled. "They're having a picnic."
Kagome chuckled. "All right, I'll look for them."
It was her birthday tomorrow and her first training was going to start at midnight. Kagome was so excited. She couldn't wait to tell Sango.
As she walked on the grassy plains, she spotted the group near the river. She rolled her eyes. What kind of picnic was that? Nofood.Inuyasha and Shippou fighting. Again.
Suddenly, something occurred to her and she went back to the hut and grabbed her bow and arrows. What was… Kikyo doing there? She ran back to the grassy plains, but kept her distance. She was not going to let them smell her scent yet. But in an instant, she saw that Kirara had turned her head in her direction. Kagome put a finger to her lips and Kirara slightly nodded and turned away.
'Oh, Kag. Your birthday is tomorrow! So why not let you have the gift of hearing far now?' Kirashi laughed, a nasty laugh.
Kagome knew that it was Kirashi, but did not know what she meant by what she said. All of a sudden, she could hear every single thing the goup was saying. "That's right. Kikyo's the new shard detector." Inuyasha said.
Kagome watched as the group spit out their drinks. Kagome's eyes grew sharp and cold with hatred. 'That's it Kag. Be mad. He hurt you millions of times. Be mad, Kag. He did it with that dead whore instead of you. Be mad.'
Kirashi didn't have to say it. Kagome was mad. She was very, very, very mad.
"She's the new replacement." Inuyasha said. "She'll help us out a whole lot."
"But what of Kagome-sama?"
"Yeah! They don't get along!"
"I want Okaa-san back!"
"I'm sure that my reincarnation will agree."
"Don't worry, Kikyo. If she tries to hurt you, I'll kill her."
She had it. Kagome put on her sweet disguise and literally skipped with joy over to the group. "OKAA-SAN!" Shippou launched himself on her. Kagome winced at the yelling, but she didn't show it. She smiled at Shippou with joy.
"Shippou!" She hugged him. Kirara got up and purred at Kagome. "Hi to you too, Kirara." Kagome winked at her. The others stayed back, lost for words. Shippou, however, grinned. "You look very beautiful, Okaa-san!"
Kagome smiled. "Thank you, Shippou."
Miroku stood up in attempt to grope her, but Sango hit him before her could even take a step. Sango gave Kagome a big hug that almost choked her. "Okay, Sango! Okay! You're killing me!" Kagome smiled at her best friend. "Oh my goodness, Kagome! You look beautiful!" Sango exclaimed, excitedly. Kagome grinned. Miroku got back up. "Hello Miroku, please stay away from me." Kagome stated. Miroku just grinned.
Then all of a sudden, Kagome whipped her head to Kikyo. "Hello." Kikyo said. "Hello." Kagome responded back, a little harsh. Her eyes had no more shine to it and it was cold and sharp. "You are the new shard detector, I suppose?" Kagome sneered. Not waiting for an answer, she continued on a lighter tone, "That's good news. Congratulations on your new promotion." Inuyasha, who was waiting for a greeting, didn't even get a look.
Sango gaped at her friend. "How'd you know about the promotion?"
"I heard it. I was standing here for a while, but it seems that you were all too shocked to notice." Kagome smiled, lying. Everyone fell for her lie, that is, but Kirara.
Inuyasha tried to speak, but Kagome interrupted. "Let's all go back inside. It's getting hot out here." Everyone agreed with her and followed, leaving poor Inuyasha alone who had been going to suggest swimming.
They all spent the rest of the afternoon in the hut just talking. Everyone noticed that Kagome was friendly to everyone, even Kikyo, but not to Inuyasha.
After dinner, everyone went to bed. Kagome stayed awake, waiting until midnight for her training. But Inuyasha grabbed her wrist and pulled her along. "Come on. We're going to talk."
'Now what?' Kagome mentally asked.
'You just wait, Kag. Hahaha… You just wait.' Came Kirashi's voice.
