Hide and Go Seek

by funmaker

The next few days were a lot of fun but not as fun as they would be today...

I am Kaoru Kamiya, remember? I came to Tokyo, Japan to meet the family I never knew I had! For the past few days I have gotten to know the "Higurashis" and have come to like them very much. Maybe I can come back next summer vacation. Well, it's too early to think about that now, I just have to enjoy myself.

"Alright, now everyone has everything?" asked Mrs.Higurashi.

"Yes mom, so go! Everything will be fine." assured Kagome.

"Okay. Karl you know how to contact me right? If anything goes wrong-"

"Yeah mom I'll call you right away, won't even give it a second thought." said Karl.

"I know. It's just that I want everything to be perfect while I'm gone and I want Kaoru to have a wonderful time here." said Mrs.Higurashi.

"I will Mrs.Higurashi! Don't worry, go or you'll be late." said Kaoru.

"Okay. I'll see you later!" and with that Mrs.Higurashi left.

Karl couldn't contain his happiness,"Yes! I thought she would never leave! Now to have some fun!"

"Karl I don't know what kind of 'fun' you expect to have but if it has anything to do with the words 'Party At My House' you will be experiencing some serious pain." said Kagome.

"Yeah it does Kagome and I'm aware that mom will kill me when she gets back. I'll cross that bridge when I get there. Now, let's call the guests!" exclaimed Karl.

"No she won't cause I will kill you right here and now!" warned Kagome.

"Forget what I said. Everyone behave like responsible boring young adults." said Karl.

"Well you could still invite some friends over Karl, Kagome did before mom left." said Sota.

"Oh is that so?" asked Karl glaring at Kagome.

"So what Karl it has nothing to do with you and Sota stop spying on me !" yelled Kagome.

"Spy on you! Please! I read your mind." said Sota.

"Read Kagome's mind? What!" gasped Kaoru

"Oh like that's any better!" yelled Kagome completely ignoring Kaoru.

"It is." said Sota.

"End of meaningless conversation! So Kagome how many girlfriends did you invite?" asked Karl.

"Let's see...hmm. Sango, Yura, Kagura, Ayame...four." said Kagome.

"Alright I'll invite four of the guys! Sota go get me the the phone!" said Karl.

"Why I got to do it!" yelled Sota.

"Because I said so!" yelled Karl.

"Fine! Whatever." said Sota while running towards the phone.

"Won't that be like inviting guests to a party?" asked Kagome.

"Kagome," said Karl getting up from his chair and wrapping his arm around Kagome's shoulders, "you think to much. Just relax, there will be no party. Alright?" said Karl.

"Um okay." said Kagome.

"Besides I would love to meet your friends Kagome! As well as Karl's!" said Kaoru.

"Cool cause the guys are on their way." said Sota while siting down on the couch.

"And now for the hard part." said Karl.

"What's that?" asked Kaoru.

"Waiting." said Sota, Karl, and Kagome in unison.

After a couple of minutes of silence Kaoru finally decided to ask.

"Where did Mrs.Higurashi go?" asked Kaoru.

"Duh! To her job." said Sota.

"So what's her job?" asked Kaoru.

"Mom's job is kind of like a doctor." said Kagome.

"More like a nurse." said Karl.

"Uh...kind of like a doctor, more like a nurse?" asked Kaoru now confused.

Sota gave a heaved sigh then proceeded with an answer, " Mom is a priestess with spiritual powers, at her job she uses those powers to heal people. She's saved many lives."

"Oh I see." said Kaoru.

"Still we like to use the term 'Miko' instead of 'priestess' ." said Karl.

"YOU like to use the term." said Kagome correcting Karl.

"Why is that?" asked Kaoru.

"Because men with these same spiritual powers have developed the name 'Mikonen' which sounds much more handsome than 'priest' in my opinion." said Karl.

"Oh, well I don't really understand the word 'Miko' or 'Mikonen' so I'll just stick with 'priest' and 'priestess'. " said Kaoru.

"Jeez! What's taking those girls so long!" yelled Kagome changing the subject.

"Yeah the guys should have arrived by now." said Karl looking extremely annoyed.

"There must be traffic in the vortex." said Sota.

"Yeah." said Kagome and Karl in unison.

"Vortex? What's-"

"Don't ask." said Kagome, Sota, and Karl in unison interrupting Kaoru.

"Umm, okay." said Kaoru.

"Now we wait some more." said Kagome and everyone heaved a heavy sigh.

Thanks everyone! That's the end of this chapter! Almost the end of the story too! One more chapter to go! I hope you enjoyed it! Please review:)
