CHAPTER 3

Kagome woke up stretching. She looked around at the unfamiliar place, until it clicked with her where she was.

'Oh yeah,' (She's become like other teenagers. She's a bit slow in the mornings.) She thought. 'I'm at Shippo and Sesshomaru's house, although it looks a lot like the castle he had back in the Feudal Era.'

She saw her uniform, freshly washed and folded on the foot of the bed. She groaned mentally. "Do I have to go to school?" She said into her pillow.

Shippo's voice came from the doorway. "Yes, Kaa-san. You do have to."

She looked at him and saw Kanna next to him, in the same school uniform as she was wearing.

"Kanna, you're coming too?" She asked puzzled.

"Of course Mother." Her quiet voice said. "You best get dressed since school begins soon and Hakudoshi will also be coming."

Kagome nodded and got up. Smiling at Kanna, her morning menopausal gone, she said, "Alright Kanna, thank you for telling me. Shippo," Her smile dropped.

"Yes Kaa-san?" He asked mischeviously.

"Leave now."

He shivered and left quickly.

Kagome snickered and went into the bathroom to change. When she came out, she looked better than she had in months.

Her skin was no longer as pale and her blue eyes sparkled once more.

"Mother, you look very pretty."

"Except for the fact that this skirt is way too short again," Kagome whined childishly. "Are all the principals pervs?"

Hakudoshi came into view and oogled her. "Mother, you look very nice."

She stalked out of the room, but not before hitting her new son over the head with a new and heavy book bag.

Pouting childishly, Hakudoshi stuck out his tongue to her back. Kanna hit him upside the head.

"Stop that," She scolded and followed after her mother gracefully.

He made a face, but did as she asked and followed her downstairs to where their 'mother' was waiting.

Kagome stood there with a sparkle in her eye as she relentlessly teased Shippo about the boys in her school.

"They're all so cute and handsome," She exaggerated while Shippo tried to plug his ears.

"Momma," He whined. "One, I don't want to hear this. Two, none of them are good enough for you."

Her expression clouded just a bit. "But Shippo, there really is something weird about the Sohmas. Their auras are clouded, like they're cursed or something."

Shippo nodded. His Kaa-san knew what she was talking about. "I'll do some snooping and see what I can find."

Kagome nodded, relieved. "Thanks Shippo."

"It's nothing Kaa-san, but you better get in the car. Your school starts soon." He pointed to a car outside. "Since you probably know how to drive, there's a car for you to drive Hakudoshi and Kanna to school with you." He laughed. "Since we own most of Japan, just show them the ID in the car, in case you ever get pulled over."

Kagome nodded and beckoned for the two of her children behind her to get in the car.

She turned to them. "I presume you know what to do?"

They nodded and smiled at her.

She smiled kindly back at them. "At least I don't have to tell you."

Kanna and Hakudoshi looked at each other. Shippo had decided to teach them about the birds and the bees early in life. They shuddered at the memory. No more lessons from anyone from the feudal era. No more lessons.

They got to the school just as the bell rang.

Hakudoshi got an idea. "Maman, peax-tu parler le francais?" (Momma, can you speak French?)

"Oui," (Yes.).

"Alors noous devrions parler chaque fois que nois parlons de choses que personne d'autre ne comprennent pas." (Then we should speak it whenever we speak about things no one else would understand.)

"Allez bien." (Alright.)

Kanna nodded as well. "That will work, Maman."

When they opened the door, all eyes turned. Kagome held herself with pride now that she had found her family. Kanna had white hair and deep purple eyes and her brother had lilac hair with deep purple eyes.

"Here are your schedules." The office lady said without looking up.

"Yes ma'am." They chorused.

Once outside the office and away from the peering eye of their new classmates, they began to talk.

"Hey mere," (Hey mother,)

"Oui le fils," (Yes, son)

"Pourquoi avons-nous d'aller dans les classes avec les eleves Ningen?" (Why do we have to go to the classes with ningen students?)

"Parque que, si vous voulez rester et me proteger, je suppose que vous eevez aller dans les classes." (Because, if you want to stay and protect me, I suppose you have to go to the classes.)

"Mais ma mere," (But Mother,) Hakudoshi whined.

"No buts," She said, switching back to their normal language.

"Yes, Mothe- Kagome."

She smiled kindly at her son. "Thank you Hakudoshi."

He hugged her tightly. "No problem Maman."

They walked into the classroom. Kagome left to take her seat, while Kanna and Hakudoshi were being introduced by the teacher.

"Class, this is Kanna and Hakudoshi Higurashi."

A girl raised her hand. "Are you related to Kagome Higurashi?"

They nodded.

"Are you siblings?"

"No,"

"Are you cousins?"

"No, she's our,"

Kagome walked up to the front of the room and slapped a hand over their mouths. "I'm their cousin." She shot Hakudoshi a look that made him pale.

Kanna turned away to hide her smile. Her brother was such a dunce.

Kagome rolled her eyes and dragged her 'cousins' to their seats before she could get in trouble.

On the other side of the room, Yuki was amused. It was funny to see how she tried to cover up their little mistake by saying she was their cousin when she clearly was not.

He stared at Kagome. She was very pretty, but she looked so down in the dumps yesterday.

Suddenly, Tohru was in front of his desk. "Sohma-kun, are you alright?"

He nodded wearily. "I'm fine Ms. Honda."

She smiled happily. "I'm going to go and try to talk to the new students. Do you want to come with me?"

He stood up.

Kagome was trying to block out the arguing of the two twins behind her when a shadow cast over her desk.

"Kanna, Hakudoshi." Her clipped tone spoke volumes.

The two stopped arguing as they saw that they had visitors.

"Hello, I'm Tohru Honda and this is Yuki Sohma."

Kagome got up to shake Yuki's hand, when Hakudoshi oh so very innocently stuck out his leg. She tripped and brought Yuki down with her.

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?

One review: I have no idea

Five: Probably a few weeks.

Six or more: A week at the most.
