A/N: Hey Cali-May here again. I finally updated my story. Please R&R!

Chapter 3: Home Sweet Home?

The keys rattled and jingled in Mr. Johnes's pocket, as he walked up to the front of his house. Tagra Johnes stood by the front door to her house watching her dad fumble with his keys. In about 30 seconds the front door was open. As Tagra's family walked in, Kagome and her family jumped out of their hiding places " Welcome Back!" they all yelled including Tagra's parents. A smile crossed Tagra's face.

"Thanks you guys," she said.

"Here you go Tagra," said Kagome, I hope you like it." Kagome handed Tagra a small box that was carefully wrapped in sparkly pink wrapping paper. Tagra slowly opened the box. "No tape residue… she must have took great care in wrapping this," thought Tagra.

Her pink fingernails, which matched the paper, started peeling off each layer of wrapping paper. Once all the sparkly paper was off Tagra slowly opened the box. A necklace full of purple pearls laid inside the box. Tagra gasped. "It's beautiful, she cried, "Thanks Kagome. I love it."

Tagra held the necklace in her hand turning it this way and that. The necklace reflected a beautiful rainbow light. She smiled, then hugged Kagome, said thanks again and placed the necklace carefully around her neck.

Tagra's mom brought in a chocolate cake with blue icing that had Welcome Home Tagra written in green cursive letters. "Who wants cake?" she asked.

A Few Minutes Later:

"Man, I'm stuffed," sighed Kagome's brother, Souta, as he stuffed the last piece of cake in his mouth. While he sat slouched on his chair, he burped and began patting his belly. Tagra giggled. But her laughter ceased, when it felt like her stomach was stretching. She too was stuffed.

Sitting at the kitchen table Tagra, played with the necklace around her neck. "I'm so lucky to have such great friends, and two loving parents," thought Tagra, "Now that I am better I can get on with my life and do ordinary everyday things."

In the bathroom down the hallway, a figure appeared in the mirror for a split second and then vanished. Tagra's heart started beating faster, and then a splitting sound filled her ears. She threw her hands in the air and let out a slight shriek. Everyone stopped and stared at Tagra. They didn't know what to do, think or say. So they stood there until it was over.

As soon as the horrible noise ended, Princess Kaguya's voice began to talk to Tagra from inside her head.

"Kagome has the shards. Take them! Take them! Take them!" snapped the princess.

"No," said Tagra lightly enough that only herself could hear her. I won't"

"You promised."

"Promises can be broken."

"Listen to me!"

"Why should I?"

" Silence fool!" Then the demented princess started chanting in an ancient language.

Before Tagra could object the pureness in her heart became over powered with darkness… she was possessed. Tagra's friends and family watched as her friendly eyes turned dark and cold looking.

Kagome gasped. "Where have I seen those eyes before?" She thought.

"Tagra are you okay?" asked her mom. Tagra didn't answer.

---

"Oh, I forgot. I need to go grocery shopping. We are low on milk and Souta gets agitated when he doesn't have a glass of milk before he goes to bed," stammered Kagome's mom as she started heading for the door.

---

Ignoring Kagome's mom and the light sound of the front door shut as the Higurashi family left, Tagra's father asked "Tagra, are you sure your okay?"

"I'm fine," answered the possessed girl as she walked into her room.

----------------------------

"Yes! Finally, I will be able to get revenge on Kagome and that half breed, Inuyasha for destroying my body." Kaguya sounded so confident, but inside she worried why it took her so long to take over Tagra's body.
