Here's the second chapter. This will probably be the last one I post until I get some reviews though. Let me know what you think! I have much more to come. I've written well past this but I won't post it till I get some feedback. Thanks a ton! Enjoy.

Chapter 2

Kagome sat on a plane staring out the window. Her mom was sleeping lightly next to her. They were on their way to England.

Souta had had to stay behind with Grandpa. Apparently her mom wasn't ready to put both of her babies in danger yet. Kagome would have teased him if he had actually known the whole story, but since he didn't he hadn't really cared about going anyway. Grandpa would be filling him in sometime in the near future and then he'd be mad. She grinned a little loving to tease her little brother, but also happy that he wouldn't be put in danger just yet.

Kagome looked back curiously. Her mother's wand was partially sticking out of her purse. She had insisted on bringing all of her old magical items. After grabbing her wand from the bottom of a large trunk she had packed all her other traveling essentials on top. Needless to say they got a few odd looks at baggage check.

It was still a bit much to absorb. She couldn't believe there was an entire community of people like her that she had never known about. Of course she'd still be the only one who'd traveled to Feudal Japan or fought Naraku or guarded the Shikon Jewel, but she guessed she'd have a lot more in common with wizards then she did with normal humans.

'Muggles' she reminded herself. 'That's what non-magical people are called, 'muggles'.'

Now she was off to her uncle's, the uncle she never knew existed, to help fight this Dark Lord who had returned, only two months after finishing off a different evil villain.

'I'm just your regular superhero now aren't I' she thought sarcastically.

Not that she minded too much. Life had been really boring while trying to pretend she was normal. Of course, she would have preferred to find out about magic without the whole life-threatening part, but what can you do?

Kagome glanced at her mother once more before curiously picking up the wand. Holding it in both hands she examined it, wondering how exactly it worked. She held it in her right hand like a conductor might and was about to jokingly swing it when a hand caught her wrist keeping it from moving.

"You might not want to try that while on the plane dear," her mothers voice said softly. Kagome looked over surprised.

"Sorry mom, I thought you were asleep and I was curious." Satsuki smiled, taking the wand back from her daughter.

"I know. At least wait till we're on land though dear. Never know if a wand will reject you when it's your first try." Kagome looked at her curiously before shrugging. Smiling Satsuki went back to dozing, her wand now held gently in her lap. Kagome sighed and eventually fell in to a light sleep herself.

"Satsuki!" a voice yelled ecstatically.

"Kenichi!" Kagome's mother yelled back, running towards a man who was just slightly taller than she. She jumped into his arms hugging her younger brother tightly. Kagome stood back a little, while the two reunited.

"I've missed you so much little brother," her mother said quietly.

"I've missed you too Satsuki," the man replied, letting go and looking down at his sister fondly. "And this must be Kagome," he said letting go of Satsuki. "Just as beautiful as your mother of course," he said giving her a hug. "Last time I saw you, you were just a baby."

"It's nice to meet you again Uncle Kenichi," she replied bowing politely after he'd let her go.

"Such a polite young lady," he winked at his sister. "Now come on and lets get out of here. I thought we could take your things back to the house and then make a trip to Diagon Alley. You'll want to start studying as soon as the school year lets out so we want to get your supplies as soon as possible."

"Studying? Supplies?" Kagome questioned, looking from her uncle to her mother.

"You didn't tell her yet, Satsuki?"

"I didn't want to overwhelm her with too much at once," her mother replied sheepishly.

Kenichi rolled his eyes at his sister before explaining, "Dumbledore has invited you to attend Hogwarts next year, Kagome. You'll be entering as a 6th year since you're sixteen. Since you already have a little experience with your miko powers you should pick it up quickly. Your cousin's agreed to help you catch up over the summer as well. Next year will be her last year."

Kagome nodded, wondering if she should be flattered or worried that they thought so highly of her skills.

After taking a taxi back to Kenichi's home (he didn't own a car) they settled into their rooms and got changed and ready to go back out. They had slept for most of the plane ride so they weren't too jet-lagged from the time change.

"Ready?" Kagome's uncle asked her excitedly, standing near a large fireplace.

"Yes," Kagome answered wondering if they were taking another taxi to this 'Diagon Alley' or not.

"It's really a shame you don't have a fireplace in your home Satsuki. It would have made your getting here so much simpler." Kenichi said as he took a jar of powder of the mantle place.

Kagome raised an eyebrow curiously, 'What does having a fireplace have to do with anything' she thought.

"You know I didn't want to have connections back, brother." Satsuki reminded him. He shrugged before looking back at Kagome. "Since you can't apparate yet you have to use Floo Powder."

"Floo Powder?" she asked.

Kenichi nodded, throwing a handful of powder into the fire. The flames instantly turned bright green. "Just step in and say 'Diagon Alley' loudly and clearly. Make sure your arms are tucked tightly into your sides for the trip." He added.

Kagome nodded, still thinking it an odd way to travel, but she didn't comment. After all she had traveled through a dry well to Feudal Japan. This couldn't be that bad, right?

Wrong.

She stepped in clearly stating her destination before coughing on the smoke. Before she knew it she was spinning away. Kagome landed with a thud on her hands and knees to a rough stone floor. Looking up she saw what seemed to be a pub. Just then she heard two loud 'pop's and her mother and uncle appeared in front of her.

"Good! You made it okay!" her uncle said jovially helping her up and holding her steady while she regained her balance.

"Thanks," she said after a moment, brushing ash off her clothing.

"Mr. Chang! How are you today?" came a loud voice from the right.

"Doing great, Tom. Just taking my sister and niece to Diagon Alley to settle some business," he replied greeting the amiable bartender.

"Sounds wonderful! If you need anything just let me know!" he replied before they continued on out the back. After tapping on a few bricks, the seemingly solid wall melted away revealing a twisting road full of people and shops.

"Wow," Kagome stated amazed that this was hidden behind a scraggly backyard.

Her amazement didn't stop there. They traveled first to Gringrotts, a wizarding bank where her mother's money was kept. Apparently her savings had grown greatly since she last saw it fifteen years ago. There were piles of money everywhere. "Oh my" her mother had stated upon opening the vault.

"We changed your account after you left so that you could earn interest as long as you left it untouched. Fifteen years is a lot of time to not touch an account." Kenichi explained.

After shoveling some money into a pouch they continued on. They wouldn't find out what books she needed until later in the summer but she still needed to buy the essentials that every student had. They bought her cauldron and her robes first. Then they went to the pet shop deciding she would need an owl so she could communicate with them from school.

Entering the shop, Kagome was amazed at all the different animals in all the different shades of colors. She looked at all of them cats, dogs, lizards, mice, and finally the owls. One caught her eye instantly. It was a beautiful owl with silver-grey feathers and bright blue eyes. She looked at it and it 'whooed' softly. "You're beautiful," she whispered softly, laughing when the bird tilted its head 'whooing' again. She picked up the cage and took it to the counter.

"Ah, he's a wonderful bird," the shopkeeper said. "You've got a good eye."

Kagome thanked the woman before leaving the store with her newfound friend. She met back up with her mom and uncle and traveled over to Ollivander's wand shop.

A bell tinkled as they entered the slightly cluttered shop. An old man walked hurriedly from behind a counter covered in boxes. "Hello hello Glad you made it on time. You're gonna be needing a wand now, yes you will" He said looking at Kagome before he started swiftly taking her measurements.

Kagome looked curiously back at her mother and uncle who just smiled and nodded. "Tut tut can't properly measure you if you keep moving around like that." The man who was apparently Mr. Ollivander said to her as she turned her head again.

"Sorry" she said as he finished. She had already gone through this once today at Madame Malkins. Except there the tape measure went on its own.

"Alright…" he muttered thoughtfully looking at the many shelves of boxes before grabbing one. Opening it he handed a sturdy black wand to Kagome. "Ebony, unicorn hair core, 7 inches" he said, looking at her expectantly.

Kagome blushed and gave the wand a little whirl. The boxes on the counter toppled in all different directions.

"No no" he said taking it back and handing her another. "Oak, dragonscale core, 12 inches." She took it and was about to lift it again when he snatched it back.

"No not that one either," she looked at him wondering how he even knew that time.

"Here, try this he said holding out a beautiful dark wood wand. "Mahogany, demon tooth core, 11 inches." She looked at him startled by what was inside the wand before grasping it and giving it a tentative flick. Pink and gold sparks flew from the tip exploding like fireworks above their heads.

"I think we have a wand!" her uncle cheered happily from behind her.
