The group of four soon found themselves seated at a booth in a local diner not far from the airport. While not the most private of locations the diner was, for the most part, empty. With only a few other people at a good distance away from where they were seated,this gave the group the privacy they desired to discuss their current situation.
The four sat in silence and glanced at one another, the atmosphere that hung around the group was heavy-tense to say the least. None of the four people knew what to say or how to begin leaving almost all feeling awkward. Luckily, they were saved for a moment as a perky waitress approached their table. "Good Evening!" She greeted happily "Is there anything I can start you off with-a drink perhaps?" she questioned as she handed each of them a menu.
Kagome grabbed the menu when it was handed to her, as she looked over the contents she vaguely heard her companions as they ordered their beverages and meal. She had switched over her funds before coming, so she had money to pay and given that she had just been on a twelve hour flight with only plane food which wasn't very filling. Ordering food and something to drink sounded perfect right now and they couldn't exactly stay in the diner to talk about their current situation without ordering something to buy them time.
Why exactly am I trying to talk myself into ordering food? She mentally questioned, at that thought her stomach grumbled and she sighed softly. Well no use in debating with a hungry stomach She thought with a slight shake of her head. Finding something she wanted she looked up and blushed softly when she noticed the waitress and her companions were all looking at her expectantly.
"Sorry" she mumbled sheepishly before ordering her beverage and meal. She really had to stop losing herself to her thoughts. That wouldn't make a very good first impression. Once the waitress wrote down their orders she took their menus and hurried off toward the back where the cooking station was. The waitress' departure left the group sitting in silence once again-making the tense atmosphere between them more apparent.
Luckily for them they did not have to sit in silence for too long for shortly after she left the waitress returned with their drinks. The waitress offered a smile to all of those at the table as she placed the each beverage in front of the person that had ordered it. Once the drinks were placed on the table the waitress put four straws in the middle of the table and once again left quickly.
Kagome watched the waitress leave and sighed softly . Once the waitress was out of eyesight she turned her gaze toward the three men that she shared the table with. Bobby was sitting across from her, he was the only one at the table that seemed completely at ease. Then again, she didn't expect him to be tense or nervous. He knew all three of them. Mentally shaking her head- Kagome turned her gaze toward the male that sat beside Bobby.
Her eyes widened in surprise when she met the male's intense gaze. She shivered and diverted her gaze. This man, Dean if she remembered correctly, his gaze was intense-she felt as though he had been looking right through her. Glancing back at him from the corner of her eye she observed him for a few moments before turning her attention toward the male that was sitting beside her. Dean was interesting, but she did not know that much about him to make a real judgment of him.
The one beside her, Sam, piqued her curiosity. Before she had come to this country Bobby had told her little of the brothers that she now sat with. He spoke of them both highly but had told her that this Sam character was special but he had not gone into any specifics. Kagome felt it though, Sam was indeed special. What made him special she didn't know, but she wound enjoy taking the time to figure it out while she worked with them.
"Kagome"
Stiffening at the sound of her name being called, Kagome turned her gaze toward the person that had called for her. "Yes Bobby?"
The elder male chuckled softly "I believe Sam and Dean would like to know more about you" He stated while motioning toward the brothers.
Glancing at the two males, she noticed their eager and interested expressions and sighed softly. "Okay...Where would you like me to start?" she questioned.
"How about starting with how you know Bobby?" Sam responded.
Kagome nibbled softly on her bottom lip as she thought of how to answer the question. "Bobby is a... family friend" She started hesitantly, she paused to glance at Bobby-not knowing what exactly he wanted her to expose. Seeing him give an encouraging smile and a nod, Kagome took that as her cue to continue "He was close friends with my father. Which lead him to becoming friends with my mother and grandfather. He was in our lives constantly until I was eight." She stated.
Dean's brow furrowed and he glanced between Bobby and Kagome. While it had been very distracting to pay attention to what she was actually saying, he managed, and her words struck him for some reason. He frowned-his previous light mood gone "Why did he only stay in your lives until you were eight? Why not longer?" he questioned. Though he was sure it was not an important detail, how she had ended it-left him wanting to know more.
Kagome smiled sadly, an action that did not go unnoticed by any at the table "Because when I was eight my father passed away." She started, she glanced at Bobby quickly and after noticing his sympathetic smile, she looked away and continued. "After that we lost contact with him for awhile. When I was 15 he and my mother re-connected but my family was hesitant..."
Bobby decided to cut her off at this time, voicing a question Kagome knew he would ask sooner or later since they hadn't had much time to discuss it before she came here. "Ah. How does your mother feel? About you coming here and joining this line of work especially since.."
"-It took sometime, but she eventually gave into the idea. She knew I could handle it, After all demons are not anything new to me.." She replied. While she knew it was rude to interrupt him, she did not want the brothers to know her entire history, especially not that event. She knew they would have to know about her life-if they were to be partners, trust was needed. She just couldn't share this with them...not yet.
Before Bobby could respond, Sam spoke up. "You've worked with demons before?" he questioned "What exactly is this special power you have?" he added as an afterthought.
Well..right to the point she thought with a sigh might as well answer in the same manner. "I'm a miko" she responded.
"A miko?" Dean questioned with a frown. "You mean a miko- a shrine priestess?"
Kagome nodded "Yes, exactly that." seeing their expressions-she continued. "I dealt with demons, and spirits, when I was younger. Around the same time my mother and Bobby reunited." with a soft sigh she continued speaking, answering Sam's other question. "My powers are-I can see some things that cannot be seen by the human eye and I can purify evil."
Sam hummed in thought "So you could purify demons then?" he questioned.
Kagome frowned "I can, yes. But not all demons are evil, I can also purify humans-if they hold evil souls or corrupted souls, but unlike demons-purifying a human won't kill them." she responded with a sad tone.
"You don't like purifying demons?" Dean questioned, seeing her nod-he felt slightly annoyed. "Why not? They are all evil, the yellow eyed demon is the best example for that."
Kagome clenched her jaw at his words, she knew he didn't know any better. Japanese demons and the demons here were viewed differently, the demons known here were known as being under the control of the devil. Her eyes widened as the rest of his words registered in her mind. The yellow eyed demon..She thought, not bothering to withhold the shiver that came forward as very familiar golden-yellow eyes of her old hanyou friend entered her mind. At the thought of him, and his elder brother that had the same color of eyes, she smiled sadly and finally responded to Dean's words. "Not all demons are bad-some cannot help being born what they are." she replied softly.
Her words seemed to make the brothers become tense, making the atmosphere once more become heavy with an unwelcoming feeling. Luckily, at this time the waitress came to their table to deliver the food, Silencing the conversation between the group as each person started to eat their meal.
After their meal was finished the group once again looked at one another not knowing what to say since their whole meal had been eaten in silence. Bobby decided to relieve the group of their tension by sighing in content and rubbing his stomach. "Well, that was a good meal. Why don't you three go outside while I pay for the bill and then we can leave?" He questioned.
Kagome frowned "Are you sure? I have money."
Bobby waved her question off "It's fine. My treat" he replied with a wide smile.
Smiling softly Kagome quietly thanked Bobby and made her way outside and toward the elder males vehicle. She didn't have to look behind her to know that the brothers were following closely behind her. Not only did she hear their footsteps behind her, she could also feel their intense gazes on her person. She sighed softly as she got closer to the vehicle-she had a feeling she was going to be interrogated and could only hope that it wasn't that bad and that she would be able to get along with the brothers. She did want to help them with their mission and she did not want to take another flight back to her home country so soon.
A/N: Thank you to everyone that reviewed the first chapter, I appreciate the feedback. Thank you to everyone that set an alert to this story and/or added it to their favorites. I do apologize for the roughness/short length of this chapter, I'm still getting in the 'mood' of writing. This chapter was kind of boring, next chapter will have more action. I don't know when the next update will be, the longer the chapter the more space in between chapters. Hope you enjoyed this chapter-reviews are always appreciated!
P.S- Quick question, is there any mythical creature/supernatural creature you would like to see featured in this story? If so, what?
