Chapter 6: This is stupid, Moving in
---------
They had just come out of the meeting, and the girls were all holding in their displeasure at all of those, what they called, stupid rules. They had never heard something so stupid in their life, compaired to this! There was only a possibility that this would change though. Sango moved up by Kagome and started walking with her. Now was the time they got to choose the house that they would want. Brianna had not survived half the day with them, there fore, lost that little deal. They came into a neighborhood that had two houses for sale, right across from each other, and that's all the houses there were for that twenty miles.
Kagome was looking to the left, where there was a old looking house, that looked like it hadn't been used in a very long time. It was a powder blue, small looking house, that, with a little fixing up, could look like a decent house to live in. It had white window shades, but everything was dirty. The ground outside around the house looked like someone tore through it with a tractor a thousand times, but that was only on one side of the house, right by it. The only way she could tell was by going up the little dirt path though.
The boys seemed to have found the house across from it very interesting as well. The only way you could tell, was because they were practicly drooling at the sight of the food they found around there. Obviously they liked all of what they saw...including the few ladies that were walking by in their view. Well...all except Jakotsu, who looked like he wanted to murder them, rather than stare like his brothers. The boys had to go some way into the dirt path to see the other house as well.
"Having fun?" Kagome joked, lightly nudging Bankotsu in the side.
He nodded dumbly while still staring. "Wait! NO!" He whisper/yelled back at her.
She laughed. "Suuuuuuurrrrre, your not..."
"People come by here all the time because of the grocery and appliance store, about twenty some miles from here. Normally they would send their slaves though." The head of the town said.
"You mean the deamons?" Rin asked.
"Yes. Those vile creatures." He sneered.
'That's sad that they have to obey everything us humans want, or get punished so severly if they make a mistake.' Midoriko thought, simpithizing them.
'Hmph. They even get picked on, teased, because of what they are. That's just stupid SHIT!' Kagome wanted to strangle the man before her right then and there, but, to do that would mean that she was a murderer...and she was no, murderer.
"Just a little further and we will see the houses I think will interest you the most." He said, suddenly all happy.
"Alright. We are interested in what you have...but what did you say about the money?" Koon-Loun asked.
"The house of your choosing will be free."
"So...would it still be free if we got four different houses?" Kagome asked innocently.
"...Of course...why do you ask?"
"Cause we passed a house that I would like to get. Same house Midoriko and Sango want, by the looks of it, and the boys right there want the house across from it. You wouldn't mind if we got those...would you?"
"You want a house of your own?" Koon-Loun asked a bit hesitantly. "...I guess it would be okay...but I want to see what it looks like, first. Rin and Sota will stay with me until they get older, though."
"That's not fair!" Sota complained. "I wanted to stay with Suikotsu!"
"How old?" Rin demanded/asked.
"Not until your one hundred and one." She said with a look that said, don't-ask-me-now.
They shut up after mumbling a few things. Koon-Loun stared at them for a few more seconds before turning away. Brianna stared murderously at the girls for a second before turning to her sons.
"You are not moving away from me. We still have things to discuss and do. You are living with us." She sneered.
"I believe that they don't care. Those two houses we want, sir." Sango interupted.
"The house that the guys want is fine. The ladies however, I suggest you find a different house." He replied, a little quickly.
"Why's that?" Midoriko asked now.
"It's...haunted by demon spirits."
"Really?" Sango and Kagome asked together, skeptically. When he nodded their faces brightened. "AWESOME! I want it." They shouted again.
"B-but...! It's HAUNTED!"
"All the more reason to take it." Kagome shrugged.
"What happened to the side of it though?"
"Some kids tore that up. Wouldn't matter anyway. It was only a youkai family that lived there." He shrugged. "That is beside the point. The hunters go there to collect more youkai slaves."
"What do they use...?" Bankotsu asked, if only for the sake of the stupid man before them.
"Why...you'll have to find that out for yourselves..." He said with a smirk.
"Your going to live in a haunted house..." Koon-Loun trailed. "Next time, tell me what your going to say before you say it, moron." She said right to his face.
He looked at her in disbelief, then looked ahead. "We're here." He said, pointing out one white house with blue outlining the window. the other house was a tan color.
"I get the white house." Koon-Loun said, up by the window, looking through. "This is mine, and if you step one foot inside it, i'll nock you into oblivion. Got that?" She was looking straight into the eyes of Brianna.
"You could try." She replied, walking into the tan house. She immediatly came back out. "You said this was the best you got!"
"No...that is the best house." He said pointing to the white house. "Is that why you wanted that house?"
"...No...I didn't know it was the best house...I'll take it." Koon-Loun said, clapping her hands together once, with a big smile on her face.
"That's great! Here is your paper. Just sign under the photograph and it will be yours." He said, handing her a picture of the house. She did as he said and handed it back. "Get yourself comfortable. Here is the paperwork for jobs that you could do...just look at them, and you can choose which ever you like without telling anyone your job." Then He turned to Brianna. "Would you like that house?"
"We'll take it." Mr. Higurashi stepped in, signing under the picture. "Thank you."
"Your welcome."
"I suggest you take the boys and girls to look at the houses they want. They don't look to happy about being ignored. Rin, Sota, and Kohaku will have to stay at their new home to choose their rooms and such, anyway."
"Umm...right. Come along, ladies and gentlemen." He said, walking back the way they came. They walked the whole way there in silence. When they got right in front of the two dirt paths that led up to the houses they wanted, they stopped.
"You got a picture for these?" Bankotsu asked.
"Yes, right here, but don't you want to take a look around first?"
"No."
"B-but...!"
"Hand over the pics so we can sign, or i'll let the boys beat you to a bloody pulp."
"Y-yes ma'am." He took out the picture for the house the girls wanted, and Kagome signed. Then took out the piture of the house the guys wanted and Suikotsu signed.
"Have a pleasant rest of your day, sir." Midoriko said, then they all went to their respective new homes.
It was still early in the day, so they decided to look around. They first went inside the house.
"Well...it could be worse..." Sango said with a look that said: Oh-my-God-what-the-hell-happened-here!
The whole house was covered in cobwebs and dust. There was even mold starting to form on some of the counter tops. Kagome walked further in and was knocked down by a little cat...that had two tails? She had lost her balance...maybe her head too...Attached to the cats back paw was a string that was attached to a jewelry box. She grabbed the cat and then moved to undo the string. The little cat started struggling, but Kagome held her still. She undid the string and let the cat go. It hissed for a minute, then went to walk, when it found less weight attached to it. It looked down, then back up at Kagome. Down, then up again. Finally it jumped onto Kagome again, who was sitting down this time, and started licking her face. She laughed.
"I thought only dogs were suppose to do that!"
"Mew." She mewed and stopped.
"Hey Sango! Would you like to keep her with you?"
Sango sat there for a minute, then nodded. "Sure...I guess"
"Than pick a name!"
Sango looked at the little cat. She was a yellow-ish color with black paws, two black stripes on each tip of the tail, two black cat ears, a diamond shape on her forehead, and red eyes with black pupils. "How about...Kirara? Is that okay?"
"Mew" Kirara answered happily, jumping into Sango's arms and snuggling into her. Sango giggled a bit.
"I guess she likes it."
"Yup! Now to continue looking around..."
Two sets of eyes watched them in curiosity. Then went up to them to get a closer view. They could tell that they were humans, but accepting a demon was something no human did anymore. They were going to try to kill them as well...well, so much for that idea.
The entrance entered straight into what could be a huge living room. There was a fireplace in the corner of the room, with a couch on the other side of the room, closest to it. A low table was seen in the middle of that room as well, with a carpet underneath it. It was like an older japanese type of table, with the blanket part on the bottom, pillows for seats, and the hard table top. There was nothing on the walls at all. It had a hard wood floor and had a bunch of book shelves, and, surprisingly, a television as well. There looked to be a DVD player, with a few DVD's on one of the shelves by it. It was opposite of the couch.
Then there was a door to the kitchen that was left open, and it could close the top, bottom, or both parts. The kitchen was just as big as the living room. It had hard wood floor, an island, a refridgerator was on the opposite side of the window, by another open doorway. The side by it was all a counter top, with chairs going all the way over, until it turns. The side with the sink, window right above that, was also a counter with cuboards above and below it.
"This place is already bigger than it looks from outside...and here I thought it was a small house...one of these rooms could be the whole outdoors part of the house!" Kagome all but screamed out.
"Well, we better start cleaning up now if we want to be able to sleep inside, and live here." Midoriko sighed. They nodded and each, while still exploring and finding things to clean up with, began their cleaning.
Sango walked through the kitchen and came to a stop at the other door way. There was a hall there. To the left, was the way that she came from, to the right was what looked to lead outside, and somewhere else, then straight forward was a twisting staircase. She looked all three ways, then finally came to a conclusion. Work starting from top, to bottom. That way, they could throw whatever they needed to out from here, then worry about cleaning it after words. Otherwise they would be worrying about getting it dirty again. She walked up the stairs. There was only one level going up. So she was now on the top level of the house. There was another dirty hallway, and so she looked to find the farthest away, which just so happened to be on her left, so, she went left, all the way down the hall, past a bunch of doors. She came to the end, finally, and opened the door. There was dust all over the place, and it flew into the air when she opened the door. She coughed a bit, swinging her hand in a way to clear some of the dust from her face. When she was done, she looked around.
There was a bed, right on the side the door was on, and (all the floors are hard floor.) a desk was beside the bed. The closet was on the side on the other side of the door, and there was a bathroom attached to it. Not a big one, it only had room for a sink and toilet, with a toilet paper despencer right across from the toilet, and a mirror over the sink. The closet was a walk in, and there was a dresser across from the bed, with a mirror over that. The window was over the desk, and the other one was beside the dresser.
Sango walked out to the hall, and looked to her right. There was another hall, but only a few feet away was a staircase. So, she turned around, opened the closet and pulled out a cloth, then closed the door a bit and found a broom. She then began her cleaning.
