"Karasu, don't leave!" shouted a thirteen year old girl. Her eyes were teary, and
she hugged Karasu fiercely. "I don't want to lose you too!" She cried so hard. Karasu
hugged her back.
"Shh..." whispered Karasu. "Kagome, I will never leave you. You will always
remain in my heart." Kagome let go and stepped back.
Karasu sighed mentally and patted Kagome's head. "I am sorry, Kagome." He
then hit her in the temple, making Kagome fall unconscious. He caught Kagome before
she fell to the ground.
In great speed, Karasu left in great speed, carrying Kagome somewhere. He
stopped at a shrine in the Ningenkai. He only had a few minutes to stay, until Spirit
World had caught him.
He knocked on the door, and a middle-aged woman opened it. She gasped in
surprise. "Karasu, what brings you here?"
Karasu gave her a weak smile and looked at the girl in his arms. "I have to be
going somewhere, but I cannot take her with me. That is why, I want her to stay with
you." He sighed. "I already cast a memory block about me and being a demon. The only
thing you have to do is cast a spell to make her look like human, and... you have to
pretend to be her mother."
The woman nodded. "When will you be able to... pick her up?" Karasu took his
mask that covered his mouth and strapped it on.
"Soon... very soon," with that Karasu left, after placing Kagome in front of the
woman.
The woman sighed and kneeled down next to the girl, she had no clue that she is.
"I can't believe I forgot to ask him her name." The woman studied her features. She
looked very beautiful. She saw her white angelic wings, glistened under the sun, and the
woman saw the girl's long, silky black hair that reached up to the middle of her thigh.
Her skin was pale-not a sickly pale color. The girl wore a white kimono with a red sash.
She then saw a necklace that surrounded her neck and gasped in mild surprise.
"I-it can't be!" murmured the woman. She looked closer. "I better change her
appearance quickly. The Minamino family could be here in a minute." The woman then
chanted a spell under her breath. The girl's wings disappeared, and her skin became a bit
tanned. Her black hair became a midnight color.
The girl's eyes immediately opened, while the spell was trying to work. Her eyes
were of a dark blue color but then changed into chocolate brown.
"Where am I?" asked the girl.
"You are home," said the woman. She didn't know what her name was.
"I am?" the woman nodded. "Well, then who are you? By the way, I am
Kagome." The woman smiled gently at her.
"I am your mother, Kagome. Don't you remember?" She had put fake hurt in her
voice. Kagome stared in shock.
"M-my mother?" the woman nodded.
Kagome felt a wave of happiness hit her, and she hugged the woman. The woman
was startled, but she hugged her back.
The woman broke the hug. Kagome looked at her questionably. "The Minamino
family are coming, Kagome. We should go inside. I will tell your ojii-chan and your
brother that you are here." Kagome nodded and went inside with her.
The woman led Kagome up the stairs, and the woman looked at the old man and
boy. She mouthed to the old man that she will explain it all later. The old man nodded
and brought the young boy outside.
"Kagome, remember your room?" Kagome shook her head. "This one is yours."
She pointed to a pink room with a twin size bed at a corner. On the side near her bed,
there was a window. Across the window, was the Goshiboku. Across the bed, there was a
desk with a few papers scattered on it. There was a computer screen near the edge of the
desk. Underneath the desk, the computer lied. On the side of the desk, a trash can lay. It
had a few paper balls in it and a few wrappers.
"I'll leave you here, Kagome." Kagome nodded, as the woman closed the door
behind her.
Kagome walked towards a door she saw. She twisted the knob and walked in. It
was the bathroom, but Kagome did not know that. She saw a towel on the ground, and a
basket that was filled with clothes. There was a sink, and Kagome walked over to it. She
started to examine it. Then, she looked up to see a mirror. She looked at it, and she saw
her reflection. Kagome jumped in surprise at seeing herself. She slowly walked up to the
mirror. "Is this really me?"
"Kagome! Could you please get down here?!" shouted her mother.
"I'm coming!" shouted Kagome. Kagome then raced outside the bathroom and
her room. It took her only a second to get down the steps.
"What is it, Mother?" asked Kagome. Her 'mother' smiled at her.
"I want you to meet my friend and his son." Kagome looked at them. It was a
woman with black hair and caring eyes. She then darted her eyes at the boy. 'He is
gorgeous, but he looks way different from his mother. His eyes are green, while hers are
brown. His hair is red, and the woman's is black. Odd. Probably got it from his father.'
The boy saw Kagome staring at him and looked blankly at her. Kagome turned
her head away with a small tint of blush.
"Kagome, this is my friend Shiori Minamino, and her son, Shuuichi Minamino,"
said Mama.
Kagome bowed politely and said, "It is a pleasure to meet you people. I am
Kagome, and I hope we could get to know each other." Kagome didn't exactly trust the
family. She looked at Shuuichi.
Shuuichi was startled by her stare. It was not like what all the other girls' stares
were like. It was more of a dislike. "It is pleasure to meet you, Kagome, Mrs. Higurashi,"
said Shuuichi while bowing.
Shuuichi stood looking at them with bored expressions. "Well, now," began Mrs.
Higurashi. "It is a pleasure to see you again, Shiori. Why, don't you and your son come
with me to the kitchen. Kagome, why don't you come, as well."
Kagome nodded. Shiori passed her, and when Shuuichi was about to pass by her,
he whispered to her, "You are very amusing, girl. I sure will enjoy... playing with you."
Shuuichi left with a satisfied smirk, and Kagome stared at him in shock that was very
evident in her eyes.
