Blazerules34: Hey guys! I'm super excited about this chapter! And the ones to come…heh heh heh… so be ready!
~That afternoon~
Kagome was tired. She had decided to go shopping again; since a certain someone ate all of her triple chocolate cake…damn rich bastard thinks he gets whatever he wants. So, as she was getting her last few items, unease trickled down her back. She looked up, and around. There was a teenager with brown hair that looked curiously familiar. When he turned around, Kagome got a good look at his face.
Damn! It's Hojo! Oh, god, what is he doing here? Kagome wildly thought, right as Hojo spotted her. Recognition lit up his face. "Kagome! What are you doing here? "He grabbed me, yanking me away from the crowd and into a lone aisle. "Kagome, answer me! "He viscously shook my shoulders, trying to get an answer from me.
His eyes were as wild as a mad man. "Help! Please! He's attacking me! "Kagome screeched, and Hojo smiled suddenly. "It is you! Oh, I'm so happy I found you! I've been worried sick. So have your other friends. Come on, let's go. "Hojo said, starting to drag me towards a back exit. "Help! He's taking me away! "Kagome screamed again, and heard the clatter of shoes running.
Kagome thrashed wildly, but Hojo had literally gone insane. He must have liked me a lot. Oh, why did I have to leave Neyasha at home? Kagome thought before a man started shouting, and someone ordered Hojo to let her go. "No, she's mine! I lost her so long ago…"He yelped when I kicked him. His grip loosened, and I managed to slip away, right before he yanked my hair back.
Kagome yelped, and saw a man bring a heavy can of soup down on Hojo's head. He let her hair go, and fell unconscious. Kagome put a hand on her cheek, startled; she was crying. "It's alright, you'll be alright. What is your family's name, young gone? "The shop owner asked, while someone called the police.
"Taisho. "Kagome whispered, and cried.
~A Few Hours Later, At Amu's house~
Amu had just started eating her dinner, when her mom turned the news on. The reporter was at a local store; probably another robbery.
"And this news we give you is new, and coming from the Taisho family itself. "The reporter said, looking towards the store. "Mom, turn it up! My friend Kagome's last name is Taisho! "Amu cried out.
A tall man with long white hair appeared, carrying someone on his back. "Here is Mr. Taisho Sesshomaru and his younger sister Ms. Taisho Kagome. She was attacked in the store by a man named Hojo. That is all we know of the young man, who was taken into custody before he even woke up. Can you please tell us what happened, Kagome? "The reporter asked, and poor Kagome nodded. Sesshomaru set her down gently.
"I went shopping because Sesshomaru-sama ate all the cake I prepared over the week for my friend. So, I came here to get my new ingredients. I was just about to finish, when I felt like I was being watched. I turned around, and there was that man, staring at me. But then he looked like he recognized me, and grabbed my arms and started dragging me away. I fought and yelled, but I was only able to get away when the store owner himself pounded a can of soup on his head. "Kagome said, her voice shaking.
"And there you have it, folks. Poor little girl almost snatched. What can you say about this, Sesshomaru-sama? "The reporter asked, sticking the microphone in his face while Kagome rolled her eyes on the screen. "I can say that I need and want to get my imouto back home so I can take care of her. Goodbye. "Sesshomaru said, taking Kagome by the hand and leading her away.
"Well, John, that's the news from Loco's Grocery. At least the girl got her food. "The reporter shrugged, and Ms. Hinamori turned the T.V. off. "That's horrible! That poor little girl…"Ms. Hinamori started muttering about how people are these days. Amu sighed, feeling horrible about her friend.
~Back to Kagome, in Her POV~
Two thoughts kept coming in to my head: One, why didn't I see this coming? And two, why didn't I use my miko energy? Was it because it would hurt him? I don't even know when we got home; I ignored everyone and went upstairs to take a bath.
As I lathered my chocolate-cherry body wash over myself, I couldn't help but feel a bit guilty. I did that to Hojo. It was me who had driven him insane. My mother would probably be calling us tomorrow. Yes, I visit her every month like a good girl. I rinsed off, and got into my normal pajamas, a top and some shorts. I fell to sleep quickly.
~Normal POV~
Kagome's uniform had gotten in last night. She wore it like Amu, except she had her gloves on. Neyasha nodded her approval, and Kagome put her hair up in to pigtails, and then headed downstairs to eat. Rin, Sesshomaru, and Tani were waiting for her.
"Hey, Sesshomaru-sama, can my friend Amu come with me when I visit my mother? "Kagome asked, eating her eggs and bacon, while Neyasha looked ironically at the eggs. "Oh, who is that, floating by your ear? "Rin asked, gesturing to Neyasha. "You can see them? "Kagome asked, stunned. "Look, sister, I've been part of the supernatural longer then I want to admit. "Rin winked, and Kagome laughed.
"I still can't believe you were married before me. "Kagome said jokingly. Rin and Tani laughed, while Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow, amused. "Yes, imouto, your friend may go. But only if you make me another cake. "Sesshomaru negotiated. "Fine, got to go! "Kagome rolled her eyes and left.
Both friends were nervous about going to school. Amu had confessed to the Prince yesterday, and Kagome had almost gotten kidnapped. They met outside the gate, and marched in together. Both held their breath when they walked in. Conversations stopped, and the room was silent. The girls linked their arms and walked to their desk, ignoring the rumors going around.
When they finished getting out their stuff, a bunch of girls came over and surrounded their desk. Kagome prepared to defend her friend, but it was not needed. "Hinamori-san, that was so cool! "One shouted. "It must have taken a huge amount of guts to say that! "Another one said. "I never thought that Hinamori-san would like the Prince too! "The last one said, and then said how sorry they were about the news last night, while Amu nodded in agreement.
After the two girls became friends with two other girls, Yuki and Hana (Can't remember their names), silence plagued the room as the door opened once more. "Look, its Fujisaki Nadeshiko! What's she doing here? "Yuki whispered, and Hana shrugged. Nadeshiko walked to Kagome and Amu's desk, and dropped letters in front of the bemused girls. "It's a message from Hotori-kun, about the eggs. "Nadeshiko whispered, then winked and left. "Oh, this is so great! You two were invited to the Royal Garden! The guardians might be asking you to join! So cool! "Yuki and Hana squealed together. The bell rang, and the friends set out for their next class. Neither Kagome nor Amu noticed when Amu's blue egg dropped out, and blue eyes stared at the new world, before bouncing away.
The first class was Song/Dance class. Each student had to audition for what place they would be in, and Kagome got nervous. She was a great singer, but Inuyasha had knocked lots of confidence out of her. When she got her part, she realized she had to make up dance moves. At least she knew the song. She stood nervously on the stage.
Why don't you just change? From a girl without confidence, to a girl with confidence! Sing, Dance, Twirl!
Kagome's angel egg cracked and only visible to Amu and her chara's angel wings appeared on Kagome's back and she sang and danced her audition away.
The angel wings disappeared, and everyone applauded her. Kagome smiled and bowed, jumping off the front of the stage to sit down next to Amu. The new chara had blond hair, and a street dancer's outfit. Well, except for the wings anyway.
"And what's your name? "Kagome asked, smiling. "My name is Lila. "The chara grinned. "Welcome. "Kagome grinned back, and the girls headed out to P.E as soon as the bell rang.
They were jumping over a bar today. When Kino-sama jumped, he landed horribly. "Taisho Kagome, it is your turn. "The teacher called, and Kagome ran forward and jumped high, landing perfectly on her back. "Piece of cake. "Kagome said, brushing back her strand of white hair.
"Ouch! "Someone yelled over by the horizontal bars. "Oh, look, the first graders are doing the horizontal bars. "One boy whispered. "Yeah, those are so hard…"Hana whispered. The first graders P.E teacher turned to them. "Hey, 5th graders, can anyone show Suzuki how It's done? "The teacher called.
"Hey, you or Amu-chan should do it. "Yuki said, and Ran popped out. "Yeah, Amu-chan, let's do it! "Ran cheered, and her hair pin changed into a heart. "I'll do it! "Amu said cheerfully, and ran at the bar, grabbing it and spinning around, looking quite dizzy. She flipped off, and kids applauded, while both P.E teachers looked shocked. The bell rang, and Kagome noticed Suzuki's face fall. She went up to him, and patted his head.
"Everyone starts somewhere. Everyone does badly at first. But if you keep trying, you'll do great. "Kagome said, and then ran catch up with her friend. Suzuki got hearts in his eyes.
Amu and Ran went in to one bathroom stall, and Kagome, Neyasha, and Lila went in to another. Kagome heard Amu actually threaten to flush Ran down the toilet, and laughed at the image she got from it.
"Hey, Amu-chan! The blue egg is gone! "Ran whispered. "What? Well…as soon as I find that egg, you guys are gone. I just started to become friends with people. So, I don't want you around after this. "Amu said coldly, and walked out.
"Kagome, we'll have to look for the egg after school. "Amu said. "What about the tea party? "I asked, watching Amu's face fall.
Our next class was art, and that bratty chic Saaya was in it. And poor Amu had to draw her. I mean, I was a good artist, but the girl expected too much. I thought I saw something in the window, and suddenly, Amu was drawing better than a pro.
When she was done, it actually looked like Saaya. Amu suddenly sprinted out, running to the bathroom. She returned later on, with a blue chara that was quite cute in my opinion. She had blue eyes, a blue painter's beret, and a cute short and shirt.
"Her name is Miki. "Amu smiled cheerfully. I was glad Amu had finally accepted her chara's.
When the last bell rang, Amu got nervous. We headed outside, and over to a tall, dome-shaped, glass building. Amu prodded me to open the door, and I did so. "H-Hello? "I called. "Wow…" I whispered.
There was an actual garden inside, with a fountain. There were all kinds of flowers in there, and they were all different colors. Up ahead, was a table with the guardians sitting around it. I took a big, nervous, breath and walked in, head held high. Amu followed me.
"Ah, Hinamori-san, Taisho-san, glad you could make it. "Tadase said, smiling. "We should introduce ourselves properly. "Nadeshiko said.
"My name is Hotori Tadase. "He smiled, and then gestured to a chara by his shoulder. "His name is Kiseki. "The chara had a purplish-color hair, a royal cape, and a crown.
"My name is Fujisaki Nadeshiko. It is a pleasure to meet you. "Nadeshiko bowed. "Her name is Temari. "Nadeshiko's chara had a purple hair that was in a ponytail. Her eyes were purple, and she had a fancy kimono. A fang hung off her dress, and she grabbed it to hover it in her face. She bowed politely.
"I'm Yaya! I love cute things! "The girl, Yaya, nearly squealed. Kagome smiled, wishing she could actually have the innocence youth had. "This is Pepe-chan! "The Yaya said, and her chara appeared. She had Yaya's hair, and was wearing a pink baby beanie, and a pink baby outfit. She also had a binky.
"And I'm Kukai! "A boy said, and in spite of herself, Kagome gained a new crush that day. He looked a lot like Shippo would have. "He's Daichi. "Kukai pointed a thumb at the blue-haired chara. Who had a star on a sweat band. He looked quite sporty.
"Um…my na-"Amu started, but Nadeshiko finished "We already know your names. ". "Hinamori Amu-san and her chara's Ran, and Miki. "Tadase said, and then turned to Kagome. "Higurashi Taisho Kagome, and her chara's Neyasha and Lila. "Kagome turned red, wondering how her got her old last night.
"How do you know that?" Amu burst out. "Oh, we have access to the student files. One of the many good things about being a guardian. "Nadeshiko smiled. "But that's a violation of privacy! "Amu snapped. "Is there something wrong, Hinamori-san? "Tadase asked, using his cuteness as an advantage.
"Uh…"Amu blushed, and Kagome came to her rescue. "Look, what do you want? I've got a triple chocolate cake to bake so Amu can have some when she comes over. "Kagome said, crossing her arms, propping her legs up, and sitting back in her chair.
"Well…Kukai, explain. "Tadase ordered. "Ok! Hinamori-san, you have three eggs, and that's amazing. Higurashi-Taisho, you have four, and that's even more amazing. "Kukai said. "Just call me Taisho, or Kagome. "Kagome interrupted. "Ok…well, anyways, we want you two to become a guardian. "Kukai shrugged.
"Yeah, we have your capes and everything. "Yaya said, holding them up. Kagome and Amu looked at each other, and then back at the guardians. "NO! "The girls bellowed together. "Why not? "Tadase asked. "It goes against all our sense of fashion. "Both girls stood, putting their hands on their hips. Kukai started laughing. "You two pass. "He chortled, and then came up to them. "Success! "Kukai laughed, giving thumbs up.
"Come on, Kagome. We're leaving. "Amu linked her arm with Kagome's, and practically dragged the miko child out. "I have a feeling they'll try again soon. "Kagome muttered as Kukai's laughter finally faded in to the distance. "I think you're right. "Amu said back. The two girls parted, with promises of seeing each other later.
Kagome headed off to bake her new cake, unaware of the blue eyes following her.
