AN: Well if no one has noticed the first chapter has been revised slightly and I deleted the overly obvious hint that was in there. Other parts of this story may have been revised, please note that I do revise often, very often. Please note that ages have been changed to fit what I want to happen. Also I had a depression break down in February, but don't worry it won't affect my stories… at least I hope not, though it did delay me in writing the new chapters I have been planning since Christmas. Pictures for all stories will eventually go back up and new ones will be added as soon as I get my life together.

Remember I want criticism not praises, I want to be able to know what I need to fix. Once again translation at the bottom! The answer to the second riddle was Draco Malfoy. I checked out his family tree and most of his family members both Black and Malfoy are named after stars with the exception of his mother. Also his uncle that is in the light is Sirius Black. He's the only one who is not on the dark side. I used Asian perspective on this or at least Chinese perspective. Everybody who is in the generation before you is considered your aunt or uncle. Children of your cousins who are in the same generation as you and are on your father's side with the same surname as you is consider your niece or nephew. Those cousins I just mentioned about who have the same last name as you, they are considered your siblings.

Also to EVERYBODY I do have a facebook page now. The link's on my profile and you can go to either one. I suggest you click on the one that says page in the link since I'm on there more often than the facebook account one.

Dedicated to Dark Void Princess 21 aka KuroTenshi04, hope you like it!

Damn you, Chinese Honor! XP

"Speech"

'Thoughts'

In a Flashback

Last Time

Pulling out of their bows, Narumi began to introduce the two students that had entered.

"Kagome-chan I would like to introduce you to two of your new classmates, Yuu Tobita and Imai Hotaru."

Hearing the name of her long thought forgotten cousin Kagome flung herself at her cousin while yelling.". . . "

This Time

"Hotaru-chan!" cried Kagome in happiness as she threw herself around Hotaru and happy tears starting to glisten from the corners of her eyes. "I've missed you so much," she continued as she began to nuzzle her cousin's shoulder.

Hotaru just stood there stunned as Kagome slightly tightened her hold on her obviously shocked cousin. "Ka...Kagome-chan," murmured Hotaru softly to herself in wonder and amazement. She had never thought nor had she expected that she would ever see another person from her family at the academy aside from her aniki.

"Hai," answered Kagome in a soft whisper and with a bright, but gentle smile on her face, happy that her younger cousin by a month remembered her even after a nearly two year separation. Kagome loosened her hold on Hotaru slightly and proceeded to gently wipe away the tears that were about fall from her eyes. Her smile brightened when she felt Hotaru begin to return her hug, and she hugged Hotaru tighter after she finished wiping her eyes.

"Why are you here, Gome-chan?" asked the ever observant Hotaru, who was confused over why her favorite relative was at Alice Academy and had surprisingly not noticed the uniform that Kagome adorned that the same as hers with the exception of the stars. From what she knows of her cousin, which was quite a lot because they used to trick everyone outside of their family that they were twins, Kagome had never really showed any evidence of having an Alice.

"I start school here today," informed Kagome as she pulled herself back from the hug to look at Hotaru's face. Kagome, who was nearly just as observant as Hotaru, noticed Hotaru's use of her family nickname. She loved her nickname, it was so much better than being called Kags or Kaggy by her old classmates. A pouted started to form on her lips at the reminder of her old nicknames.

"Hmm…" was Hotaru's response to Kagome's answer, on the outside she appeared to be complete calm and collected, she was anything but. The only way a person outside of their family that would have noticed that Hotaru was not as calm as she appeared was if they noticed the slight widening of her eyes. Soon the widening of her eyes disappeared and returned to normal as soon as the shock faded. When the shock faded, Hotaru proceeded to scan her cousin for any changes that might have occurred over the two years separation.

The first thing that Hotaru noticed was that Kagome's hair that used to be the same length as hers had grown to be just below Kagome's lower back. Besides her hair growing longer in length, Kagome's hair had also changed colors; it had darkened from its original brown-black to a blue-black.

'It would probably glow like the midnight sky if light was shined upon it,' thought Hotaru as she continued to examine her dearest cousin. Another change that she noticed about Kagome was that Kagome's eyes, which were originally a dark brown, had darkened to a sapphire blue her own had darkened to a dark amethyst that many mistook for black or onyx.

The very last thing that she noticed was that Kagome was dressed in the standard school uniform that all students had to wear. Nearly everything on Kagome's uniform was the same as the one Hotaru wore from the bottom heels of her boots to the white collar of her blouse. The only difference that Hotaru noticed between Kagome's uniform and her own uniform had Hotaru's eyes widening to enormously was the amount of stars that were pinned to the bottom of the collar of her blouse. Her eyes were once again wide in shock because where she had only three separate gold stars pinned to the collar of her uniform, Kagome had one single star pinned on, but that wasn't why her eyes were wide. No, it was the fact that that single star was not the star that represented a level one star student, it was the star that displayed to everyone that Kagome was a special star; the highest level a student could receive on the control for his or her Alice or Alices. Hotaru would have fainted from all the surprises that she was experiencing that day, if only it was not out of character for her to do so.

While Hotaru was looking over Kagome and now stunned in her shock, Kagome also analyzed Hotaru for changes that occurred in the last two years since they have seen each other. Some of the changes that Kagome noted were the change in eye color and the sadness that seemed to haunt her favorite cousin's eyes, but currently shined with a gleam of happiness and shock. Other changes that she noted were that Hotaru's original short boy hair had grown to be just above her neck and was now in a stylish pixie cut.

"Wow," said Kagome, breaking the somewhat awkward silence that was beginning to settle between the two relatives. "We've really changed during these last two years."

"But only in appearance," continued Hotaru a little softer, knowing almost exactly where her cousin was going. The two cousins started to slowly walk in a circular path together while still being across from one another.

"Two years of separation," spoke both Hotaru and Kagome simultaneously as they continued to circle around each other.

"Daughters of the sunset," as this phrase passed the lips of both girls; they both stopped circling each other.

"Servants of kami," as the next phrase passed, the girls each did a small pirouette that had their skirts twirling and lightly lifting up and them facing each other again.

"Each gifted in something all her own." As this was said, a small glowing orb seemed to appear at different places on both girls. The little orb that appeared on Hotaru was located on her forehead and was a light amethyst color. While Hotaru only had one glowing orb Kagome had several, a rainbow colored orb, sort of like an opal, appeared over her hip, a cherry blossom pink orb hovered above where her heart would be, and lastly two leaf green orbs appeared in her hands. Both girls began to smile as they felt the warmth that came from the glowing orbs. The warmth that came from the little orbs was like having a ray of sunlight caressing their skin.

"Each a brother, one unseen but heard, and the other met," with the next phrased said a light blue orb formed behind Kagome and an emerald green orb and a lightning yellow orb formed behind Hotaru. Both girls' smile became gentler as they thought about meeting and seeing their respective brothers and cousins for the first time or again.

"Soon we will all meet and be family again," with that last and final phrase spoken the two cousins crossed their arms with each other and hands linked together and bumped their hips against each other's and then turning to bump their other hip against each other. After the two bumped their hips, they released each other's hands and uncross their arms and then reconnecting their hands together to perform a double spin together.

As the two cousins did this the glowing orbs began to fade. Once they stopped their spin which had them facing each other in the end, Hotaru and Kagome both saw the faded images of the glowing orbs before they completely faded away.

Kagome and Hotaru stood in front of each other quietly before both suddenly let loose a small string of quiet giggles.

"I can't believe we still know the routine," giggled Kagome as she clutched her sides and moved closer to Hotaru.

"Same here, Gome-chan," responded Hotaru between giggles. They couldn't believe that they both still actually remembered the little routine and poem that they had just done and recited. The poem was something they made together to greet each other whenever they met, the last two phrases were only added a little after Souta was born. The routine on the other came to them a little while after the creation of their poem during a dance ceremony at the shrine, which they had been a part of.

"We've changed so much," mumbled Hotaru as both of hers and Kagome's hands became clasped together between them.

"But we are still so close," continued Kagome as both cousins' body leaned forward towards each and their foreheads touched.

"Still in sync," finished the two cousins together just as their eyes closed and a small gentle smile appeared on Hotaru's face as Kagome's smile softened.

Standing forgotten a few feet away from the two cousins were Narumi and Yuu, who were both frozen shock. The two had quickly moved away from Hotaru when Kagome had flung herself at Hotaru in a glomp both not wanting to get in the way of the attack. Now the two stood stunned to the core at what had just happened in front of them. Imai Hotaru, the elementary school division's ice queen and genius, was showing open displays of affection to a new student that she had only just met for less than ten minutes. From what the two males have known and seen of Hotaru was that she never showed her emotions to anyone, she was usually cold to anyone that tried to befriend her, but in those few minutes since she was glomped by the new student they have seen her go into shock, freeze up, smile, and…giggle.

'Is the world ending or something?' thought a still stunned Narumi, who had only ever felt Hotaru's hostility since she had arrived at the academy.

Yuu snapped out of his shock quickly, while blinking rapidly and then pushed his glasses up to rub his eyes to make sure he was not imagining what he was seeing. He then turned towards his sensei and pulling on Narumi's sleeve. "Ano, Narumi-sensei," called Yuu.

"Huh? Oh yes, Tobita-kun," answered Narumi slowly after a short pause and a quick shake of his head that showed that he also just came out of his own shock. "What is it?"

"Narumi-sensei, how do Imai-san and Higurashi-san know each other?" asked a curious Yuu while pointing to the two cousins.

"Hmm, I'm not exactly sure, Tobita-kun," answered Narumi truthfully while looking up towards the ceiling while rubbing his chin with his left hand. "But why don't you go find out, ne?" he asked Yuu encouragingly with a silly smile on his face.

Yuu slowly made is way over to the two girls to properly meet Kagome and ask his question. "Ano… Higurashi-san, Imai-san," called Yuu to the girls to announce his presence and to remind them that there are still others in the room.

Kagome and Hotaru both jumped a little in surprise, having forgotten that they were still in the presence of others. The two had been too caught up in their little reunion together. After getting over their little shock both girls released each other's hands and let their arms fall back down to their sides before turning to Yuu and answering together in sync, "Yes, Tobita-san?"

Yuu shivered slightly, a bit unnerved by the synchronization of the cousins asking. He only hoped neither girl had noticed. "Ano Higurashi-san, Imai-san could you possibly tell us," at this he pointed to himself and Narumi. "How you two know each other?"

"Huh?" started Kagome a little confused with her head tilted to the side. "You mean you can't tell?"

"Can't tell what. Higurashi-chan?" cut in Narumi, who had walked over to the children just as Yuu had begun talking to the girls, before Yuu could respond.

The two girls looked at each other for few moments. Both seemed to be having a silent conversation with each other through only their eyes. They seemed to be debating on who would get the pleasure of telling the two males the news before coming to a silent agreement. "Sensei, Kagome and I are cousins," began Hotaru only to be continued by Kagome.

"Our okaa-san our sisters," Kagome elaborated with a wave of one of her hands as if meeting a relative at a new school was not something new for her. It probably wasn't.

"Hai, sensei," confirmed Hotaru her face now back to its normal stoic expression while Kagome on the other hand was still smiling.

"Really?" asked Yuu, he had never met classmates who were related each other, but were not siblings.

"Honto," answered Kagome with a friendly smile direct towards him. She wasn't feeling as reserved as she had been when she had first met Yuu, she was starting become more friendly, and she wanted to be friends with him. Hotaru didn't seem as annoyed by him as she apparently was with their sensei.

"What about that little routine you two performed, Higurashi-chan?" asked Narumi he was really curious about that and the glowing orbs that appeared during the performance. "And what were the glowing orbs?"

"The routine is our way of greeting each other," answered Hotaru without a trace of warmth in her tone unlike what it had been like when she was only speaking to Kagome and Yuu.

"We're not all that sure about the glowing orbs," answered Kagome truthfully. "They just kind of appear whenever we do this together."

"Oh Tobita-kun," said Kagome as she turned towards Yuu.

"Hai Higurashi-san, what is it?" asked Yuu who had a somewhat nervous smile on his face. He was a little scared of Hotaru and that transferred over to Kagome. It was a well-known fact around the Academy that anyone who annoyed Hotaru usually ended up in a lot of pain.

"Tobita-kun, you can call me Kagome. I don't like being called my surname," responded Kagome with a small wrinkle of her nose. "It makes feel like you're asking for okaa-san or jii-chan."

"Hai Kagome-san," answered Yuu happily. 'Maybe Kagome-san won't be as scary as Imai-san,' he thought as a small portion of his fear dissolving. "You can call me Yuu, Kagome-chan."

'Could it possibly be their Alices?' thought Narumi as he questioned himself. 'The orbs seemed to represent what the girls can do. Imai-kun's Alice revolves around her mind, and Higurashi-kun's Alices work with her hands, but that doesn't explain the orb above her heart and hip.' All in all Narumi was making himself very confused. After a quick shake of his head to rid himself of an oncoming headache, the blonde-haired man spoke to all three students, "Well how about we start heading over to your class now, Higurashi-chan? We'll have some of the staff move your luggage to your dorm while you're in class, ne?"

All three students nodded together as one, almost as if they had synchronized it. It was understandable if Kagome and Hotaru did it, but Yuu too. It really disturbed Narumi when students did things like that when they barely knew each other. "Alright let's go then."

With that said everyone, but Kagome headed out the door. Kagome quickly ran and grabbed her pet carrier, which still had Kirara in it, before heading off to follow after Narumi, Hotaru, and Yuu. She just couldn't wait to meet her future classmates. 'I wonder if the others are like Yuu-kun?' thought Kagome to herself. 'He was really nice. I hope they doubt bother me as much as they did Hotaru-chan.'

AN: Yes, the poll for this story is closed and I'm pretty sure most of you guys have noticed that there are only two out of four choices that are showing. The reason for this is because the choices that are showing are the two that actually matter. The other two choices were just for my own amusement for me to see how many would actually vote for those two. I did say that there would be Mikan bashing in this on my profile. Also because there is a tie in the poll and a lot of thinking I'm going to have Mikan come in later on in the story. The little routine that I had Hotaru and Kagome do minus the little poem was something my cousin and I used to do together when we met up before she moved up north. I thought it would be cute if Hoatru and Kagome did something similar, and isn't something any girl would do with a really close friend or relative?

I also have another for you guys! Don't worry though the riddle is for fun, but it will decide when I'll start writing the next chapter. When I get the first correct answer sent to me viz review, PM, or on any of my accounts, I will then being typing the next chapter. Please note that telling me to update or update soon will NOT make me want to update, it's actually just annoying to me. Okay here we go:

This is something we all have

Either awake or asleep

Or even old or young.

I'm not sure if we have it

When we are dead,

But I know we have it

When we live.

A person has it

Anytime of their life.

This thing has several names

And you have many of them in your life.

With all these clues

Given to you.

Will you be able to understand me?

All of these riddles are made by myself so you can't find the answers online. If two of my dumbest classmates can answer this in less than two minutes I expect most of you guys/girls to be able to answer it too.
