You Complete Me
Chapter Three
Kagome woke to a grumbling stomach. She reached under the blanket to rub her irate belly and slowly started to rise. Pushing the covers away she noted that she wasn't in her bed. She wasn't even lying on a bed but a couch. A really ugly couch. It was plaid with a variety of maroons and yellows. The colors were pretty just not in that order. But it was soft and comfy, and for a couch that should be all that mattered. At least to her. She snuggled the couch once more wanting to remember the feel before getting up. I think I need to get one of these for my new place. I should find out where they got it. Kagome stopped thinking for a minute and focused on the word 'they'. 'Where they got it.' Her eyes widened as she took in the room around her. She wasn't in her room in the inn, she wasn't even in a bedroom. She was in a sitting room of some sort. The walls were covered in different posters of … were the people moving in the pictures? She took several steps forward until her face was an inch away from the wall. YES! The picture is moving. Is that person on a broom? She looked around and noticed that all the posters were moving. Weird. I wonder if I woke up in some other dimension. Shoot, if I can cross time what is another dimension. I just gotta find my way home. She straightened her clothing and started walking to the only door in the room. I hope this new world is not too crazy. Slowly opening the door her eyes widened at what she saw.
It was the same store she had walked into before she fell asleep. Before she fell asleep. BEFORE she fell ASLEEP? Who falls asleep at a store? No one. Unless you're a child. She wasn't a child so she didn't really fall asleep. Her memories hit her then. She was touching a strangers hair and when she confronted him about it he said he turned people into pets. Into Pets! She was so upset that while backing away from him she fell. Into his arms. The last thing she remembered before she fainted was looking into the man's rich brown eyes and looking across from her into the same rich brown eyes. She could melt into those chocolate orbs. She shook her head and sighed.
Twins. They are twins. Why the hell did I faint? I've been in stickier situations and did not faint. What makes this special? Her eyes widened again. It was a spell. They cast some sort of spell on me. Who does that? She straightened her shoulders and proceed through the shop looking for either pair of chocolate brown eyes. She came across one of them and watched as the man dazzled a little boy. Sparkles flew out of the ball that he crushed with his fingers. A trumpet sounded and whatever happened next was masked by the gleeful laugh coming from the little boy. Kagome smiled as the tall man handed the man next to the boy a bag of the balls and waved them down to the registers below. Kagome watched as the man tensed in front of her and slowly turned around. When their eyes met she felt a spark go through her. The same urge was in her fingers again. She wanted to run her fingers through his locks of hair. She wanted to do more than that but the most insistent urge was his hair and running her fingers through it. It was a beautiful shade of red. She stopped her hands from reaching forward by clasping them together behind her. But her body had another thought about that. Her slow steps towards the man began to gain speed so it looked as if she were rushing to him. She watched as his eyebrows lifted. He took a step forward and stopped. It look like he too was struggling with this stranger urge. She lifted one eyebrow at him.
"What's going on?" she looked at him trying to take in his face and watching for any sign that he was being deceitful.
He shrugged.
She cocked her other brow. He looked around the store and found what he was looking for by the narrowing of his eyes. Turning to see where he was looking she saw his brother looking at him. He looked at her, smiled, then back at his brother and nodded. Kagome spared a brief glance at the brother next to her and focused on the one downstairs. He was talking to a man at the register. He gestured up to them, the man looked up and nodded with a smile before looking at the brother that was in front of him. The man who was the exact same as the one who stood in front of her, headed up the stairs to them. He walked over to Kagome and placed his hand on the small of her back and swept his other hand back the way she came from. She let out a small gasp when his hand touched her back. She heard the same from him before she turned around and headed back to the room with the chairs. What the hell is going on?
Fred swallowed hard as he guided the woman back to the couch she was just on. He didn't want to stop touching her. It was as if he couldn't. He wanted to touch more of her. What the hell did we do to that potion? He shook his head when his brother looked at him. After she sat down he headed to the little kitchenette they had in the room.
"Would you like some tea?"
"Huh?" She asked. She looked a little dazed. She looked between Fred and George and down at her lap. She cleared her throat. Looking back at him, she shook her head.
"Can you please tell me what is going on? And I hope you aren't going to tell me that you turn people into pets."
"Well…"
"Great. Where the hell am I now?"
"Well, you are in the back of our shop."
"I'm in a pet store?"
"A pet store?" George looked at the woman and started to laugh. When he noticed that she wasn't laughing as well he stopped.
"You're serious? We are not a pet store. The menagerie is down the way. Where would you get that from? We don't have any animals in the store?" Curious to see what she had to say he waited for her answer.
"Menagerie? I don't know what you are talking about." Sighing she closed her eyes and after a few seconds opened them back up. When she focused her vibrantly blue eyes on George he felt a spark as well. He swallowed. He could feel the same itch that Fred felt. He just wanted to touch her. He crossed his arms across his chest.
"My name is Kagome. Kagome Higurashi. I am sorry for accusing you of being a pet store. You are right, I didn't see any animals in your store. Your brother mentioned tails and scales and it freaked me out."
"My brother? How do you know it's not me that you were talking to?" George wanted to see what she would say and surprised is the first word that came to his mind.
"Well, I don't remember really talking to you. I know that you caught me as I fell. Thank you for that. I don't know how far I would have fallen if you hadn't caught me."
"Are you sure it's not the other way around?"
"Yeah," Fred piped in. Sitting on the arm of George's chair he too crossed his arms over his chest and looked at Kagome. "I was the one who caught you."
Kagome sighed. "You were not the one who caught me. Your brother did. You were the one petting my head." She glared at him then. "Geez, I know you are twins but I think I know who I was talking to or who I wasn't."
"How? We look exactly alike."
"No you don't. You might look alike but you don't look exactly the same."
"What? How can you tell?" George sat up then. It was very rare that someone could tell them apart. Even their own parents got confused about them sometimes. How was this strange woman able to where others could not?
"Well," she slowly started to blush. Covering her mouth she looked away.
Fred sat up. What was she blushing about? Why was she covering her mouth? Wow. She is really cute when she blushes. He grimaced when he felt his brother elbow him.
"How can you tell us apart?"
"Well… I can see your auras." The last of her sentence came out as a mumble. They could barely decipher what she said through her hand but when what she said did, they both looked at each other then back to her in shock.
"You can see auras?"
"Wait, Gred. We know other people who can too and they can't so?"
"Miss Higuraishi?" Kagome winced with their pronunciation. "Please just call me Kagome."
"Kagome?" She nodded.
"Not to call you a liar or anything, but we know people who can read auras as well," he noticed the interest in her eyes when he said that. "But they don't know how to tell us apart. How can you?"
"You both have a red aura. But its two different shades of red. Yours is a vibrant red. Like the color of a candy apple." Kagome pointed to George. She looked at Fred. "Yours is a deep rich red. Very similar but, different." She leaned back on the couch and watched them talk amongst themselves.
Fred and George looked at each other and looked back at her before looking back at each other. They smiled to each other before turning back to her. They felt and heard a click as they focused their eyes on Kagome. She was the one. The one woman they had been waiting for. The one that completed them.
