Chapter 4

Takara was tapping her fingers against some hard wooden surface and she looked extremely bored and yet annoyed as well. She thought they were getting somewhere when they said, 'We want to go home.' But no instead the freak with gorgeous black blue hair had to interrupt to go be told a story she had heard at least a million times from each of the adults.

"Don't look so down." Takeo muttered nudging his sister out of her thoughts.

"Well sorry, the 'miko' world isn't really what I would call ideal for a situation." Takara said slightly bitter. "What are we gonna tell dad? I mean seriously he's gonna flip…and I mean actually flip if we aren't home by noon…."

Boushin looked over at her, "Don't worry about it…I mean I think Naoko being shot with an arrow is slightly more important…just say it was from a neighboring stronghold or something."

"Yah except you and she aren't even supposed to be there remember?" Takara asked with an exasperated look. "Good try though…" She mumbled letting her head fall into her hands.

"It'll work don't worry." Takeo said trying to be optimistic. "We're with the miko…I'm sure she'll take care of us until this is sorted out." He smiled cheerfully at his sister which made her smile a little.

It seemed to take the miko's family a long time to come back. But when they did come back the young man, named Hoshi seemed to be angry. "These people must be from that 'world' too right?!" He then went to slam the door but decided against it on occasion that there was no point when he wasn't going to be in there alone.

Miaka came back and it was apparent she was displeased wither her son's reaction. "Calm down Hoshi…" She said pleadingly and looking apologetically at the four kids also in the room. Suddenly another girl came in, she was apparently younger then her brother, and she had the same hair color as her brother. Her eyes were even the same as her father's which happened to be a brilliant purple.

"Oh my god there, really are kids in your room!" She gasped shocked.

"Like I was lying. Come on Amaya." Hoshi replied rolling his eyes.

Amaya seemed to ignore him as she looked them all over. "So the story is real?! How interesting!?" She said clapping her hands together joyfully.

Miaka and Taka seemed to sweat drop a little. Miaka then let her hands come in front of her revealing a very old and tattered book. "This…this is the book that I used. It's a portal to your world." She said smiling at the other children.

They all gave her peculiar looks not accustomed to books and such. "A b-uk." Takara tried to repeat confused. "Is that like a scroll?" She whispered to Takeo.

Takeo only shrugged, "I think that's what dad said."

Miaka then went to Takara handing her the book, "This might take you guys back…" She said with a small smile.

It was then that the door opened unexpectedly by some guy with blonde hair and blue eyes, "Hoshi-what in the world….!" He yelled bug eyed. He had only come to pick his friend up on their way to school like every morning but no one seemed to be in the house waiting for him. So assuming that Hoshi had slept in like most mornings he had come to wake him up.

"Kei!" Hoshi said now shocked too. Well this would look awkward. "These are my cousins! I forgot to tell you they were coming by." He said laughing.

Takara glared, "I'm not related to you." She put flatly.

Hoshi glared back at her while saying through clenched teeth, "I love you too cuz."

Takara huffed, "I've had enough of this nonsense!" She said bitterly as she opened the book that had been handed to her. Suddenly the room was filled with a bright red light and then darkness became them.
