The Sights of Tokyo
As soon as everyone had climbed out of the well Shippo, Sango, and Miroku couldn't believe their eyes at first. Kagome noticed their reaction and smiled. "Let's go and see if Sota wants to come with us on our city tour." Kagome said as she walked towards the home she had lived in all her life. Sango seemed eager to meet Sota, but at the same time this made her think of her own little brother
Oh, Kohaku, I hope your safe, wherever you might be. Sango thought sadly as she made her way to the Higarashi shrine.
"(Sango, are you alright. You look upset. Anything bothering you?)" Miroku said, having noticed Sango's sad face. He hated ever seeing her upset. "(I'm fine. Let's get to the others.)" Sango replied with a smile, and then she ran on ahead into Kagome's home. Miroku shrugged to himself and followed.
"(The time still amazes me, even after all the times I've come here.)" Inuyasha commented when the X-Men and Inu crew had started down the shrine steps half an hour later, and some wardrobe changes done to Inuyasha, Miroku, Sango, and Shippo to go to the city. "(Yes, it is certainly changed from our world. Hey, what's that?)" Sango asked as she pointed to a cell phone in the display window of an electronics store. "(Oh, that's a cell phone. Everyone has them, it's a way to communicate from a long distance without having to actually see that person. It's the same as that big phone I showed you guys, it's just a phone you can take anywhere with you so if your not home people can still get you. Did you understand?)" Kagome looked at Sango.
"(I think I get it. It' amazing.)" The young woman replied while practically gawking at the small device in the shop window. "(Come on, we still have a lot to do.)" Kagome started walking and everyone followed. "Hey sis, can we take them for ice cream. I think they'd like it." Sota suggested in good English. He spoke knowing his sister understood him and to practice for class the coming year. "Alright." Kagome replied. Kagome started in the direction of her favorite ice cream shop, Dairy Queen.
"Oh, I love their ice cream." Kitty commented when she saw where they were headed. "I come here a lot with Sota on the weekends." Kagome replied. Everyone walked into the small parlor and up to the cashier to order. Behind the counter was an eighteen-year-old woman with a Dairy Queen uniform; in Japanese writing was the name Mina. "(Hello, what can I get for all of you?)" The woman asked with a smile. Kagome took over and order burgers, fries, and chocolate shakes for everyone. "Don't worry I've got enough. I'll take care of it. In a flash to the chattering teens and few adults the food had come and been eaten. "Now, our next stop will be the Mt. Fuji lookout. The view of the mountain is amazing." Kagome said as the group left lunch.
"Wow, you were right, Kagome! This is breathtaking. Luckily I brought along my camera." Alicia stated in awe as she rummaged in her backpack/purse for her digital camera she had gotten on her last birthday. "I'll get prints for everyone." The fifteen-year-old said as she place the camera back in the bag.
The rest of the day was full of sight seeing and seeing the latest technological advances of the Japan of 2005. It was getting dark before everyone, the girls and a few of the guys carrying bags of varies things (Souvenirs, the girls each got and kimono and some interesting make-up and Alicia had gotten the film in her camera developed and got extra for anyone that wanted them.), went their separate ways for the night.
After an interesting meal at the Higarashi's Kageome asked Inuyasha and the other three to stay the night. They stayed up all night in Kagome's room watching tv, which was confusing to Shippo, Sango, and Miroku at first, but after a while they got use to it. Inuyasha wasn't as confused, seeing as how he was the only one of them to see the future and had more time to get use to it. After some tv Kagome taught all of them some new games. To them the fun came to an end all too soon.
"(Alright, we better get some rest. We're going back to the past to finish the jewel. The Americans will be here an extra week for vacation and to give me time to do what's needed.)" Kagome said at eleven that night. "Fine. Umm, where was you keep all the extra pillows and blankets?" Inuyasha asked in English. 'He's getting better. That's good.' Kagome thought. "(In the closet in the hall, top shelf)" Kagome replied. Just as he was almost out of the room when Kagome stopped him. "(Inuyasha, your English is going great.)" Kagome smiled as she said this. Inuyasha did something he didn't do a lot…He blushed in slight embarrassment.
"(Thanks.)" He replied as he rushed out to get the pillows and blankets for Sango, Miroku, Shippo, and himself. Kagome fell asleep before he came back, but everyone else was waiting for their things so they could sleep.
Miroku slept in front of Kagome's desk, Sango and Kilala at the foot of Kagome's bed on the floor, Shippo was a foot from Sango, and Inuyasha slept right next to Kagome.
