Family Tree
Chapter 12: Gone Clubbing
Sora sat in class listening to the teacher talk about this and that, however her mind was wandering to the blond haired boy in front of her. He introduced himself as Joshua and he was supposedly from across the ocean, which Sora found interesting. He loved a 'band' called 'Linkin Park' and just came to Japan as an exchange student. Sora almost squealed as he turned around and smiled at her.
"Do you have a pen I can barrow?" he asked his voice soft.
Sora simply nodded and passed up the pen she was using to take 'notes'
"Thanks." He said and turned back around.
"So you love this guy Joshua? Do you even know him?"
"Nope! Not really but he has this sandy blond hair and these gorgeous blue eyes!" Sora exclaimed.
"Oi, yesterday it was Micah, today it's Joshua, next week it will be some guy named Ted." Ayame sighed.
"Ted? Who is Ted? Is he cute?" Sora asked raising an eyebrow.
Ayame hit her forehead and sighed. The girls had come back to study, and attend lessons leaving their parents behind in the feudal era. It seems Kagome wanted them to go to school everyday, and then come back through the well after spending an hour or two in the modern era. She even worked out an arrangement so they could eat dinner and maybe even spend the night on Fridays if they weren't needed in the feudal era. To Ayame she felt like a kid whose parents just went through a nasty divorce. However to Sora having a double life was haven she was still experiencing new things in the modern era where as to Ayame everything here as well as in the past was old news.
"Ted doesn't exist Sora it's just a name I picked out of a hat." Ayame replied.
"What hat? I don't see a hat…" Sora said looking around for the so-called hat.
"Never mind…" Ayame sighed as they continued their walk back home.
The girls walked on until they reached the steps of the shrine where Sukie was now walking up the stairs in her green, white, and red school uniform. She turned around at the sounds of her cousins and smiled.
"Hiya guys!" Sukie said with a huge smile.
"Hello." Sora replied and continued to walk up the steps into the shrine courtyard where Souta was sweeping.
"Sukie, do you know a Joshua Richards?" Ayame asked walking up behind her cousin.
"Ooo you mean the hott exchange student?" Sukie said with a smile. "Yeah I heard of him, my inside source at the high school has indeed informed me."
Ayame laughed. "I still don't get why you need an 'inside source' I could tell you everything you want to know."
"Nah you're not popular enough…I want the juicy details on the cheerleaders so I can use it as blackmail." Sukie giggled.
"Where did you learn this stuff I know you're goodie goodie daddy didn't teach you it."
"Ahhh but that is my secret." Sukie replied.
"Ayame!" Sora yelled. "Were having Pizza!" She finished excitedly then ran away, however she came back seconds later, "Ayame…what is pizza?"
Ayame finished her walk up the stairs and when she got to Sora she shook her head and then in a fake voice like the old martial arts senseis in the movies said. "Ahh you have much to learn young grasshopper…" and with that she made her way inside.
Sora raised an eyebrow as Sukie laughed. "Grasshopper? Hey I'm not a Grasshopper!" Sora yelled after her retreating sister.
Hidama looked around the vast palace she lived in, her mother was somewhere within preparing to give birth, while her father was probably in the training hall with her two twin brothers.
"Big Sister!"
Hidama turned to see a very short white haired girl run towards her in a rush. She kneeled just in time and caught her in her opened arms.
"Hello Junko." Hidama said with a smile. "Have you been a good pup?"
"Junko been a very good pup. Junko get candy from auntie?"
"No, I'm afraid not. She had none left, but soon she will make more." Hidama said.
"Hidama."
She turned to come face to face with her oldest sibling. He stood a good few inches taller then herself. His gold eyes were vibrant, and his white hair was tied back in a royal blue ribbon to match the blue strips across his face. In the middle of his forehead was a perfect blue crescent moon.
"Tetsuya."
"Why are you so nice to that whelp, if she is to be strong she must not be treated with such kindness."
"If you knew anything about children, you would know constant training is just a reason for them to loath you." Hidama answered to her brother.
"Tetsuya is a meanie to Junko!" Junko yelled to her brother.
Tetsuya raised an eyebrow and then out of nowhere stuck his tongue out at Junko which sent the child into a fit of giggles.
"I'm not mean Jun." Tetsuya said.
"Brother not mean then, but brother not nice either…brother is just…brother?"
"Yes I am just brother and I love you just the same whelp."
"You know sometimes you act so much like father I just wanna kill you then you turn around and your all nice it's kinda creepy."
"Creepy is my specialty." Tetsuya said and walked past his sisters into a different room.
Hidama shook her head and sighed. "Is mother doing alright?"
"Mama is gunna have Junko's little siblings any minute now so Junko can't visit with her."
Hidama nodded setting the child down then went off to her mother's chambers to see how the birthing was coming along.
"Hey you know Pizza is really yummy." Sora said as she lay at the end of her sister's bed. Ayame sat at the top of it reading a book for science class. She slammed it shut in frustration and threw it towards the door expecting it to hit the door, however it hit her father in the arm as he walked in with her mom.
"Ow…" He said and rubbed his arm where the book hit him.
"Ayame, why did you throw a book at your father?" Kagome asked.
"I didn't he just opened the door at the wrong time." Ayame explained. "And I threw it because school is so dumb! I don't want to go back anymore."
"WHAT! But why? All the cute boys are there!" Sora protested.
Inuyasha raised an eyebrow. "Boys?" he turned to Kagome. "You're letting them go around boys?"
Kagome sent him a glare and went back to her daughters. "Ayame you're going back to school, I don't care what you say…or your father for that matter. School is very important, and what about all your friends?"
"My friends can come and visit…" Ayame said laying down.
"Ayame…" Kagome said in a motherly tone.
Ayame turned on her side. She hated this, it was bad enough having one set of parents but now…now she had two. She knew Kagome was her real mother but she still felt that if anyone should be talking to her like this it should have been Aunt Kimiko or Sota.
"Oi woman I'll go to school but that doesn't mean I have to like it." Ayame said and closed her eyes.
Kagome looked at her daughter and nodded. She turned to Sora and put her hand on her shoulder.
"Good, then I suppose since it's getting a little late you should just stay here tonight and we can all go back tomorrow."
"Okay mom." Sora said.
"Whatever." Ayame's response came.
I should be able to stay here however long I want…
Kagome gave Sora a smile and then the two parents left the room. Ayame shook her head and looked to the window.
I need to get out for a bit…
She looked down at her clothing and noticed she was still in the damned uniform. She stood up and went for her closet. Pulling out a black ribbed tank top with a glittery red Japanese symbol that stood for fire warrior on it she put on in place of her sailor looking top. After dropping the short red skirt, she traded it out for a pair of red pants that flared out at the bottoms, had chains hanging from the belt loops and were studded around the pockets. Sora looked at her older sister in awe.
"Whatcha doing?" She asked and tilted her head making her black and sliver hair fall to one side.
"Going out for a while." Ayame said reaching for the cell phone on her nightstand.
She dialed a phone number and after a few seconds began to talk to someone on the other end.
"Yeah, I'm going down to The Underground, meet me there?"
Sora watched as she waited another few seconds, said into the strange box thing. "Cool see ya soon." And then watched as she clicked and shoved the phone into a small black bag that she hung off her left shoulder. Ayame looked to Sora and sighed.
"You wanna come too?" Ayame asked.
After Ayame had changed her clothing Sora looked herself over in the mirror. She wore a pair of Ayame's blue jeans and a nice green tank top that had the odd phrase written across it: Cats rained from the sky in red and white sparkly letters.
"Hey Ayame what's this mean?" Sora asked pointing to the shirt.
Looking at the shirt sent Ayame into a fit of laughing which she quickly quieted down trying not to alarm her parents. She looked out the window to see the sun setting and then looking to the calendar she noticed it was the new moon, which would make it all the more perfect for her escape. She opened the large window and looked out to see no one on the ground below and the lights all out from the kitchen which meant everyone was either in their own room or the living room watching TV.
"Okay so we're jumping out the window and then just follow me okay." Ayame told Sora who just nodded. "Oh and Mom and Dad never hear about this got it?"
Sora nodded again with a smile. "My lips are sealed."
Inuyasha looked to his daughter's window as he heard it open. She didn't know of what happened on his human nights and he really didn't feel like explaining. However Kagome didn't want him heading back on his own so he decided to camp out in the tree tonight. He watched as the sun faded into the horizon but before changing to human, he heard one last thing with his demon ears.
"Oh and Mom and Dad never hear about this got it?"
He looked over to the window to see both of his daughters clothed in modern era casual clothing jump out the window and land on the ground with the quietness and precision of an expert ninja. It was amazing how their movements matched one another as if the had rehearsed this in a school play. They stood up together at the same time and then took off in not exactly a run but a very quick yet still quiet walk. He shook his head knowing they shouldn't have been out this late, jumped down and went to retrieve Kagome.
"So where are we going anyways sis?" Sora asked.
"To a dance club for people 18 and under."
"Dance…club," Sora said thinking. "I know what dancing is but what's a dance club? Isn't a club a weapon?"
"No…a dance club is where people like us go to hang out with their friends, dance, and just have fun. Tonight's free mic night so the band is going to perform." Ayame explained.
"Ohhh." Sora said now understanding what a dance club was.
"Yeah so just behave and have fun." Ayame said.
"They left? And you didn't stop them!" Kagome said franticly.
"I didn't think it was that big of a deal…" The now black haired Inuyasha said.
"A big deal? Two teenage girls out alone in a big city in the middle of the night is not a big deal to you!"
"No because they can both defend themselves aginst any human that approaches them."
"Inuyasha!" Kagome said in a tone that she used to use before she would sit him.
He winced.
"If it wasn't for your being human I would say it before you could blink, but I have to go to this club and get the girls I don't trust the people around here anymore then I trust a horde of flesh eating demons." Kagome said grabbing a set of keys and heading to a car in the driveway.
Inuyasha fallowed reluctantly, he had been in a car that wasn't new but he still hated the contraptions.
