Chapter 2: Kagome Higurashi
A young girl walked out of her house. Her long black hair which was tied back in a loose, low ponytail blew in the wind as did her blue dress that went down to her ankles. (yup you guessed it, I made her look like belle. Aren't I a stinker lol) In her hand she carried a red hardcover book. Curling a piece of hair behind her ear, she began to sing.
Little town, it's a quiet village. Every day like the one before. Little town, full of little people, waking up to say...
At this point many of the townspeople poked their heads out of their house's windows saying "Kon'wa"
There goes the baker with his tray like always sang the girl as she watched the baker fondly the same old bread and rolls to sell. Every day is just the same, since the day that we all came to this poor and old provincial town.
"Kon'wa Kagome" said the baker, waving to the girl.
"Kon'wa sir" said Kagome walking over to the baker.
"where are you off to?" asks the baker, refilling his tray.
"the book shop" said Kagome, pulling the red book from out of her dress pocket, "I just finished a wonderful story about a beanstalk and an ogre and an..."
"...that's nice" interrupted the baker, "Kayo! The bagettes hurry up!"
Kagome shrugged and continued on her way to the book shop.
That girl Kagome is so strange no question sang a group of ladies as Kagome walked by she's so distracted can't you tell.
A group of men joined in the focus of every crowd, because her head is stuck in a cloud.
What a strange and funny girl is Kagome they sang in unison as Kagome jumped onto a nearby cart and rode it.
Kon'wa said the driver of the cart to a woman nearby.
Good day sang the woman
How is your family? said the man.
Kagome watched from her place on the cart as another couple talked/sang. Kon'wa a pretty woman was saying to a butcher.
Good day replied the man
How is your wife? Asked the woman.
I need six eggs! Kagome saw rather distraught looking woman with 4 babies in her hands ask a man.
That's too expensive Kagome saw yet another man talking to a merchant.
There must be more than this provincial life! Sang Kagome, sighing as she jumped off the cart and headed into the book shop.
"Kon'wa sir" Kagome said cheerfully to the store owner as she handed him the red covered book.
"finished so soon Kagome?" said the storeowner, amazed at her speed.
"I couldn't put it down!" said Kagome happily as she climbed the ladder to get to the higher shelves "have you got anything new?"
"not since yesterday" said the man, half laughing with fondness at the raven haired beauty that always seemed to come to his store.
"oh that's ok" said Kagome as she peered at a shelf in front of her "I'll borrow.....this one"
"that one?" said the man, chuckling as Kagome pulled out a blue covered book from the shelf and handed it to him "but you've read it twice"
"I know but it's my favourite" she said as she stepped off the ladder "whirlwind adventures, daring swordfights, a prince in disguise..."
"if you like it so much it's yours to keep" said the man, handing the book to her.
"oh but sir" said Kagome reluctantly.
"I insist Kagome" said the man as he gently urged her out of the store where three men had been spying on her.
"oh thank you!" Kagome said happily as she began to walk home.
Look there she goes that girl is so peculiar sang the men who had been watching her in the bookstore I wonder what's with her today. They watched as Kagome walked , still reading the book but being able to dodge all the obstacles in her way to distracted to even look, with her nose stuck in a book, what a strange and funny girl is Kagome.
In the sky, flew a flock a birds. Suddenly, one of the birds was shot and fell to the ground. A small chubby man ran to catch the bird. "you're the greatest Koga" he said, running over to a tall muscular man who sat in front of a mirror doing a "handsome check".
"I know Ginta" said Koga, standing up.
"no beast stands a chance against you" said Ginta "or girl for that matter"
Koga stood and picked up his friend roughly "I know" he said, turning Ginta's head to face Kagome "and I've got my sights set on that one"
"the inventor's daughter?" said Ginta, referring to Kagome's father who was an inventor that the rest of the town thought was a little...well....crazy.
"yup" said Koga, "she's the lucky girl I'm going to marry."
"but Koga she's..." the man began.
'the most beautiful girl in town" Koga interrupted, dropping Ginta.
"Yeah I know but she's..." the man tried to continue.
"that makes her the best!" said Koga, roughly picking up Ginta once again "and Don't I deserve the best?"
"of course" said Ginta "I-I mean you d-do but...oof!" he yelped as Koga dropped him to the ground once again. He could only look up wearily as his friend sat back at the mirror to re-check himself.
From the moment when I met her, saw her. He was singing I said she's gorgeous and I fell. In this town there's only she, who is beautiful as me, so I'm making plans to marry Kagome.
At this he got up and began to follow her. Though he wasn't the only one watching Kagome. Many people at the market place began to crowd him just to see the young beauty who always had her nose in a book. There must be more than this provincial life Kagome sang, sighing once again
Watch I'll make Kagome my wife! Koga declared to the people.
But they paid no attention to him and stepped in front of him singing look there she goes that girl is strange but special, no one has ever been this way. Koga fought his way to the middle of the crowd before deciding to climb up the shingles of a roof. But it really is a sin the villagers sang as Koga jumped from rooftop to rooftop. she doesn't quite fit in. she really is a funny girl. A rather strange and funny girl, she really is a funny girl! Kagome!
With this the song finally ended. Though Kagome paid no mind as the villagers went back to their normal activities. She continued down the path with her nose still stuck in her book. Only to be interrupted by an arrogant looking Koga. "hello Kagome" he said conceitedly.
"kon'wa Koga" said Kagome, still not looking up. Koga grabbed the book out of her hands and examined it for himself. "Koga, can I please have my book back?" Kagome said, trying to take it back.
"How can you read this?" asked Koga as he flipped through the pages "there's no pictures."
"well some people use their imagination" said Kagome, reaching for the book a second time.
"Kagome" said Koga, throwing the book into a nearby mud puddle "it's about time you got your head out of the clouds and focused on more important things..." Kagome knelt down beside the puddle to pick up her now soiled book only to be blocked by Koga's massive legs "...like me" Kagome grabbed her book and stood up, trying to rub off the mud with a piece of her dress "the whole town's been talking about it you know" Koga continued "it's not right for a girl to read, soon she's starts getting ideas and thinking" Koga shuddered as he said the last word.
"Koga you are positively prime evil" said Kagome as she smirked, still rubbing the mud of her book.
"why thank you Kagome" said Koga, wrapping a thick, muscular arm around her shoulder and urging her along with him "what do you day we go to my house and..."
"Kagome-chan!" interrupted a voice. Kagome whirled around to see her father's two assistants Ayame and Rin calling to her.
"oh" said Kagome, grateful for the interruption, "I really can't Koga, I'm sorry, but I've got to go help my father."
"that looney?" said Ginta, coming up behind Koga, "ha! He needs all the help he can get" at this Koga and Ginta burst out with laughter.
"don't talk about my father that way!" Kagome yelled.
"yeah don't talk about her father that way!" Koga hypocritically agreed and bonked Ginta on the head.
"my father's NOT crazy!" Kagome continued, "he's a genius! And someday I'll prove it!" she ran to catch up with Ayame and Rin and continued walking home.
"I can't believe the nerve of that Koga!" said Rin after Kagome had explained the whole story.
"I know" said Kagome "he's such a jerk!"
"well that may be so" said Ayame, who had always had a crush on Koga "but he does seem to like you. You're so lucky! He's the best looking guy in town"
"yeah but I've got a better chance of falling in love with a beast than him!" said Kagome as they opened the door and walked in to their little house in the country side. (a/n: if only she knew they walked down the stairs to Kagome's father's workshop and were suddenly greeted by an explosion!
"Father?" said Kagome, coughing as she stumbled through the smoke. She found her father coming out from under his invention, his hair blown straight up from the explosion.
"you know I'm just about ready to give up on this dang thing!" he said, kicking the invention.
Kagome couldn't help but giggle her musical laugh as she came up to him "you always say that but you never mean it"
"well this time I do, I'll never get it to work!" said her father.
"yes you will" said Kagome reassuringly "and you'll win first prize at the fair tomorrow" she was referring to a big inventor's convention where inventor's could show their best work and win prizes. Her father had of course signed up upon hearing about it.
"you really think so?" her father asked doubtfully.
"I always have" said Kagome happily.
Her father then found his second wind and once again got under the invention in hopes of repairing it and, hopefully, getting it to work. He emerged from under it moments later and smiled at his daughter. "I think that should do it" he said triumphantly "let's give it a try." He pulled a lever and almost immediately, the machine started working perfectly.
"you did it" said Kagome happy for her father.
"I did!" her father realized "saddle up the horse Kagome! I'm going to the fair!"
