"Funbari Springs..." Kagome looked at the old onsen which had recently been reopened after the tragic deaths that took place there. Honestly, she didn't care what had happened here, she just came for the main purpose of waking up her once-upon-a-time-best-friend.
Walking inside, she smiled at the ghost who was hovering near the entrance, half its body sunk into the floor. "I'm a friend of your home's current resident, do you think you could go and wake him up? I'm sure he's still asleep."
The old man seemed to be thinking it over in his head, nodding his head, he floated off inside the house and Kagome leaned against a support beam as she waited patiently for Yoh to come out.
"Mmn, do you always get up this early?"
Kagome smirked, 'Hasn't changed a bit.' She sighed, "Yes, especially on school days...which, it is, by the way."
"I'm a transfer, I can just show up late and claim I got lost."
"Asakura, Yoh...you go get dressed, you lazy boy!"
Yoh laughed and scratched his head a little before turning to go inside, "You can go ahead and come in, Kagome. Don't just wait outside; you're always welcomed over and inside, whenever you want."
Kagome watched him enter the house and fixed her bag on her shoulder so that it was more comfortable before following him inside. It was pretty empty, but then, she highly doubted Yoh carried his entire bedroom with him from Izumo to Tokyo. "Soul Bob..." Kagome smiled as she picked up the cd and flipped it over. "Is This Love, No Woman No Cry, Could You Be Loved, Three Little Birds,...Buffalo Soldier..." She grinned ear to ear as she picked up his earphones and put them on before grabbing his cd player and putting the cd in. She sat on the floor and smiled as the music drifted into her ears from the earphones she now wore.
Buffalo soldier, dreadlock Rasta:
There was a buffalo soldier in the heart of America,
Stolen from Africa, brought to America,
Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival.
Kagome sighed, it had been a long time since she'd stolen Yoh's earphones from him, though...she knew they were his fathers which he had stolen from him, so that cleared her of theft. When she'd been training with Yohmei, she would always take Yoh's cd player and earphones and sneak off to listen to music when he was sleeping or not paying attention. She had only been caught about five out of fifty times, so she had some talent to getting around the easygoing boy.
I mean it, when I analyze the stench -
To me it makes a lot of sense:
How the dreadlock Rasta was the buffalo soldier,
And he was taken from Africa, brought to America,
Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival.
She thought over the days she and Yoh would spend listening to lectures from Yohmei about soul integration and the Shikigami. She figured she really should start trying to find a Guardian Spirit...especially with the start growing so near...
Said he was a buffalo soldier, dreadlock Rasta -
Buffalo soldier in the heart of America.
If you know your history,
Then you would know where you coming from,
Then you wouldn't have to ask me,
Who the 'eck do I think I am.
"I'm just a buffalo soldier in the heart of America, stolen from Africa, brought to America, said he was fighting on arrival, fighting for survival; said he was a buffalo soldier win the war for America." Kagome felt a hand on her shoulder and took the earphones off and glanced over her shoulder to see Yoh smiling at her. "Ah...I've been caught."
Yoh laughed, taking his cd player and earphones back, he unplugged the earphones and pulled out an MP3 to hook it up to. "Not as bulky, same good music." He put the earphones around his neck and grabbed his satchel before stepping into his sandals.
"Ready?"
Kagome nodded, "Yeah, what about you?" She stood and walked up to him.
"What do you mean?"
"You never really liked school; I just worry if you'll be okay...I don't want you to be alone at school again."
Yoh smiled, putting his arm over her shoulder, he chuckled, "Don't worry, things will work out somehow."
"..." She looked at him for a moment before smiling, "Dork,"
"Huh?"
"You used to say that all the time when we were younger, I'm shocked to hear that you still do."
"Hehe, I haven't changed Kagome..."
Sadly, she returned the smile he sent her way, "Well...I guess that makes one of us...I wish I was the same as back then..." She shrugged his arm off her shoulder and left the house first.
Yoh stared after her with a look of wonder, his eyes saddened as he watched her back before a light smile formed and he followed after her once more. He wouldn't let her fall into depression. If she wasn't the same as before, than he'd help her find her old self...though, she would be better off with Anna if it was the old Kagome that he wanted. She and Anna had been practically inseparable...yes, she was his best friend...but she and Anna were basically sisters. 'Just wait, Kagome...in time, you'll smile again. Just like you did when we were kids...I promise.'
