Chapter Three: Seeing An Old Face
Ava, Peter, Danny, Luke, Sam, Bankotsu, Shippo, and Kagome made their way down the busy street of New York towards the cafe. Kagome, Bankotsu, and Shippo walked next to one or two of the young superheroes and was being either bombarded by questions or was telling them about their life in Makai.
Bankotsu walked in the front next to Luke and Danny who were asking him questions about himself like how much he lifts, does he know martial arts, and does he use a weapon. After finding out about Banyruu they began asking questions about it how much does Banryuu weigh, what does it look like, where was it, etc.
Kagome walked in the middle next to Ava who was asking her questions about herself, the western lands and her life there like what were her duties as a princess, what was it like living in the western lands, did she train, did she have to study anything, what was it like to go from being human to a demon and how it was even possible, etc.
Shippo was walking next to Sam and Peter as he told them about foxes and their mischievous nature his to be more specific he told them things like the different types of fox demons there are, about all the pranks he has pulled over the years and on who, and classic pranks they could pull off without getting caught.
They continued to talk as they turned to corner onto a semi-empty street. "Kagome?" They heard someone call out causing everyone in their group to stop walking and looked at the man, who was now crossing the street to get to them. Kagome walked in front of the group to get a good look at him. "Erik?" Kagome said.
She smiled wide and walked towards him when she saw him smile and nod. "It's been so long! How have you been? Do you live here now or are you visiting too?" She asked him as she hugged him happily causing him to chuckle at her enthusiasm. "It has been a long time since I've seen you, I been aight, and I'm visiting with my cuzzes, and they're friends," Erik told her.
Before she could say anything, she heard someone clear their throat behind them. She looked back and saw that everyone was watching them and that Shippo and Bankotsu both had confused faces on. "Oh that's right you haven't met him, you were out of time when I met him." She said before she let Erik go not noticing the look of yearning that crossed his face for a split second, but the others did.
"Guys this is Erik Killmonger, Erik this is Shippo and Bankotsu, and our escorts Ava, Peter, Luke, and Sam." Kagome introduced as she pointed at each people as she said their name. "Nice to meet yall," Erik said with a small smile and wave. "How did you two meet?" Shippo asked them curiously. "Remember the day I had gotten into a huge fight with Eri, Ayumi, and Yuka? That's the day we met." Kagome began with a small smile on her face as she started to tell them about that fateful day.
~ Flashback ~
' I can't believe they would say that to me! I don't need a man to make me happy! I've been happy!' Kagome thought as she angrily stomped down the street, her azure eyes flashing dangerously, her long thick onyx hair that had been curled for the occasion was flowing behind her.
It was the middle of the night, and she was wearing a gold necklace, royal blue sleeveless V-neck open back bodycon dress, with black heels, and a gold ankle bracelet. She had been spending the night with Eri, Ayumi, and Yuka at The Sapphire Dragon when they started to tell her that they missed the old her who was caring and sweet to everyone instead of the new her who was friendly to those who deserved it, impatient at times, and has been getting into lots of fights. What made her leave when they got into over the fact they said that she needed a man to make her happy and not just any man, no no no it had to be Hojo because according to them he was the only one who could tame her.
She ignored the few people that were walking down the street and continued to make the distance to her apartment. Rounding the corner, she squeaked loudly when she bumped into someone. She winced as she fell on her butt. "I am so sorry! I wasn't paying attention to where I was going." She said as she looked up at the person she ran into.
She saw an African American man with short dreadlocks at the top of his head and a beard looking down at her semi-concerned. He was wearing a plain white shirt, camouflage cargo pants, and Timberland boots.
Taking a closer look at him, she guessed that he was American and judging from the look on his face that he either didn't understand Japanese or was trying to figure out something within himself. She silently wondered which one it was and before she could ask her question was answered when he answered her in perfect Japanese. "Don't worry about it, I was paying attention either." He said as he helped her up.
"Thank you, are you visiting?" Kagome asked him as she continued to look up at him, quickly noticing how much taller he was than her. "Yeah, I'm here for a couple of weeks before I go back to the states." He told her. "Well, I hope you're enjoying Japan, maybe if anyone hasn't shown you around I can show you a couple of nice spots as an apology for bumping into you?" Kagome offered with a sheepish smile.
"You don't have to do that, but I'd like that." He said with a slight grin. "Great, oh! I just realized we didn't introduce ourselves; I'm Kagome Higurashi, nice to meet you." Kagome said with a soft smile and held out her hand. "Erik Stevens, nice to meet you too." Erik smiled back and shook her hand. "So where to first?"
