A/N: yes yes I know what you're thinking another story that Skittles
is never going to finish but this story I really think I will but it just
kinda flows out of me.
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters here, I just made up a couple of names ^.^
Kagome stood on the outside of the tall gates, staring through the bars at the huge house down the driveway. Bitterness gurgled in her stomach as she though of the events that happened to get her here. 'Damn fates why do they always like to screw around with my life.' The thirteen year old girl thought to herself.
'I should just turn around, find someone to hitch a ride with, and go back to the shrine. This is all just a joke, Mama and Souta will be waiting for me I gotta go back.' She had just convinced herself of that and was turning to leave, when a shout of her name behind her froze her in mid step.
She turned her head and looked at the woman on the other side of the bars. She was taller so she had to crane her neck up, standing at about 5'8 Miori Kamatache was a beautiful woman. Her raven black hair was longer than Kagome's, reaching to below her waist and her violet eyes shone with friendship and sympathy.
The friendship Kagome figured she could be fine with. But she did NOT want someone's pity. Especially not from someone who's sole purpose was to replace her mother.
Miori pressed the button on the red side of the gate and practically leapt at Kagome, bringing her into a tight hug. "I am so sorry Kagome, to lose your whole family at such a young age." Kagome could feel the other woman's hot tear drops on her shoulder and she couldn't help the wave of tears that fought to over flow.
She hugged her godmother back, but not as tightly, she really didn't want to soothe anyone else's heart. She just wanted to get to a room and go to sleep, and pretend that tomorrow wasn't her only living relatives funeral. Being the last of her family hurt, a lot. It's like being completely alone in the world.
They separated and Miori saw in Kagome's eyes that she didn't really wanna talk, so she took the girl by the hand and lead her through the gates, that automatically closed once they stepped through.
Kagome took her hand back and reached down grabbing her luggage before she was dragged off. She followed the woman keeping her eyes down until she was assaulted by the scent of flowers. She raised her head and her mouth dropped at the sight that wasn't visible from the gates.
Every color rose bush that you could think of off the top of your head was present. Mixed in with the roses was some daffodils, orchids, even a few sunflowers. Up the side of the house was a vine, though it wasn't wild it was growing as it's master pleased. Made the house look old, but elegant. Along the flowers were a few benches, she even heard a fountain but it wasn't in her range of sight.
"My mom was right it is beautiful." Kagome said, not realizing she had said it out loud.
Miori shot a glance to the girl and smiled at the look of awe on her face. "Thanks, it takes a lot of my time to tend the garden but it's worth it and it seems to soothe me. Your mother told me you were into herbs, I have a small herb garden around the back but it's neglected. Maybe you could...." She trailed off seeing the girl had put up her protective walls again.
Kagome shut out the woman's rambling and continued following her into the house, keeping her eyes down this time. The floor beneath her feet was a beautiful hardwood, polished to perfection. She kept her eyes down and hid a gasp at the beautiful light blue rug with red roses decorated all over it. She would not be impressed by these people. They were strangers. The only thing she knew about her new 'family' was that it consisted of two full demons, one half demon, and a miko, like her mother was.
Her face softened as she thought of her mother and her surroundings were forced from her mind as the went up the spiral staircase leading her to the third floor. Her mother was in the middle of training her daughter, she could already sense that she would be more powerful then the mother before her. She had told Kagome that she had to go pick up her younger brother, who was only six, from a friends house and that she'd be right back. She told Kagome to stay there and continue studying the herbs that it wouldn't be to long. She lied. Just as they were on the highway headed back to the shrine they were hit straight on by a drunk driver getting on an exit way. Her mother said she'd be back. Kagome had waited there for hours, she finally got worried and called her brothers friends house. The woman that answered the phone said they left about an hour ago. Kagome sat in her living room figuring that they had gone shopping when the doorbell rang. It was two men in black suits telling her that her mother and brother were dead, that tomorrow she would be relocated to her godmothers house. They made her sound like some kind of business instead of a teenage girl that's whole life just got ripped to pieces before her own eyes.
She was to lost in her thoughts to realized that Miori had stopped and she ran straight into the older woman. Miori just smiled down at the young girl and nodded towards the bedroom that would become Kagome's.
"This is your room it has it's own bath, your beds already made a some of your stuff was brought over yesterday...."She trailed off at the girls silence and just sighed. "I'll let you get settled in, take a nap, whatever you feel like doing. I'll come get you when dinners ready." With that she turned to walk away. "Oh and my sons room is just across the hall so if you need anything just knock on his door." She smiled once more and headed towards the stairs, but instead of going down she continued up.
'I wonder how many floors there really are, I didn't notice before. I'll have to ask later.' Kagome stepped into the room and it took all the restraint she had in her to stop herself from being impressed. The room was a pale blue with some sea green colors mixed in. The carpet was a pure white, and looked as soft as the clouds them selves. A king size canopy bed was pushed against the wall, sea green see through drapes pulled open. She dropped her suitcase, after making sure to close and lock the door, and threw herself on the soft bed, and buried her head in the pillow.
She started sobbing, blaming fates, blaming her mother, blaming her father for dying years ago. She couldn't blame her brother he was only six it wasn't his fault. Last of all she blamed this family that she suddenly got thrown into. She knew for a fact that they were going to try and win her over with their wealth, their beauty. She wouldn't let them she would never allow them anymore than a few stray glances, and maybe a smile or two.
With that reassuring thought she fell into dream land, where she could escape the real life.
~~~
Inuyasha muttered under his breath as he headed up the stairs, why did he have to go get the stupid girl, it wasn't his fault she was late for dinner. But his mother had given him a look that even his older brother Sesshoumaru would be afraid of and he had risen from the table, not before expressing his distaste at having to deal with some silly human girl.
He knocked on her door and heard her inside. Listening closer he heard she was asleep. Just as he was going to turn to head back downstairs and eat his mothers voice rang in his head.
"None of us will be eating till Kagome comes down, this is her first night here and we wanna show her that we aren't bad people." She said with such a tone that they all knew no arguing.
So Inuyasha sighed and knocked louder. He heard a muffled groan and her footsteps heading towards the door. He stepped back as she opened her door a slit and he saw two cobalt eyes staring at him from the darkness.
"Can I help you with something?" A dry emotionless voice asked from the other side of the door. Obviously this girl wasn't very happy to be here.
"Yea my mom said to come get you and tell you to come downstairs to eat." He growled back not liking her tone.
With a sigh the girl opened the door all the way and Inuyasha had to bite his tongue not to drop his mouth. This girl did not look 13 she was short that's for sure but her thigh length green skirt revealed shapely legs and her white t-shirt didn't exactly hide anything. She definitely was well developed for a young teen.
Kagome raised a brow at this boys obvious stare and just rolled her eyes and pushed past him towards the stairs, muttering something like boys. She headed down the stairs but stopped. With a small blush she realized she didn't know where to go. She waited for the white haired boy to go in front of her and silently followed him.
He really wasn't bad looking, she thought to herself, and any girl would kill for his hair. She looked up over his head and noticed to two dog ears. With a suppressed squeal she commanded her hands not to reach out and rub them like she would with her old cat Buyo.
They got down the stairs and turned to the left, finally taking in her surroundings. The ceiling was tall, reaching at least three floors up. 'God is this place twenty stories high or something?' She thought to herself. The walls were painted a flawless white, a few family pictures hanging here and there. She smiled as she noticed two other white haired males. 'Must be a family trait.' She also noticed that the all seemed to have beautiful golden eyes.
She shook her head and continued to follow the strange boy. She was guessing this was Inuyasha. Though her miko powers were just beginning to show through she could still tell by his aura that he was only a hanyou.
They entered a big, but quaint dining room. Seated at the head of the rectangular table was a large man. Probably nearing seven feet. At his right was Miori who gave her a warm smile and at his left was a younger looking version of him, even down to the two red stripes on each cheek and the blue crescent moon on their forehead. Inuyasha sat down beside his mother and she figured that meant she was to sit next to the full demon who looked to be in his late teens early twenties.
She gave him the friendliest smile she could muster and sat, throwing a glance at Miori who just smiled at her.
"Hello Kagome, this is my family that's Inutaisho," she nodded towards the man sitting at the head, "Sesshoumaru," indicating the man beside her who just gave her a curious glance, "and my son Inuyasha." She nudged him and her forced a friendly smile on his face towards the girl. He felt she was a miko and it made him slightly uncomfortable, though his mother was one. He noticed it made his father and brother uncomfortable to. With a hidden smirk he ducked his head and started to eat.
Kagome listened as Miori rambled on about her day, while the three males at the table just ignored her, nodding or making random noises at moments to make it seem they were paying attention. Kagome did the same till she heard her name.
"...and Kagome I already enrolled you into Inuyasha's school, you're in the seventh grade right?" At Kagomes nod she let out a sigh of relief. "Good I was afraid I enrolled you in the wrong grade," She nudged her son again to get his attention. " you will show her around school on Monday no if ands or buts."
He just snorted his agreement and went back to eating. He scarfed up the food as fast as humanly, or in this case half humanly possible and excused his self, taking his plate to the kitchen. She watched his retreating form and looked down at her own barely touched plate. Even though she hadn't eaten since she heard the news yesterday that her mother and brother were dead she wasn't hungry. She looked to Miori who just nodded. She stood up and started to gather up her plate and things when she was stopped by Miori's voice.
"No it's ok Kagome, you just go rest. Tomorrow will be a hard day I won't lie about that. I'll take care of your plate." With a smile of gratitude she turned and walked out of the dining room, and headed back towards the stairs. She wasn't paying attention to her surroundings again and she ran straight into Inuyasha.
"S...sorry" She stuttered out and quickly ran up to her room not even staying to see his reaction.
Inuyasha just shook his head, figures the girl would be terrified I mean she was suddenly thrown into a house with three, well two full demons and a hanyou that she's never met.
He walked up behind her at a slower pace and turned into his room before giving a glance to her doorway. With a sight he opened his door and walked in, shutting it behind him and heading for his computer.
~~~
The next day Kagome opened her eyes to the sound of someone opening her curtains.
"Come on Kagome you have to get up now, we gotta be there in less than an hour. I let you sleep in as much as possible...." She trailed off when she saw an empty bed and heard the bathroom door shut.
"Well that's a relief finally someone who doesn't fight with me when I try and wake them up." She walked back out the bedroom door and shut it quietly behind her.
Kagome stood under the hot shower for at least ten minutes, trying to drown herself apparently. Finally realizing her plan wasn't going to work and she had to go to the funeral today she shut off the water and stepped up, grabbing the towel and wrapping it around her body. Just as she reached for the door knob the door was pulled open and she stood there face to face with the dog boy from last night.
He had come in here to tell her to get down to breakfast, and was getting really pissed about her always holding off his food time, when he heard her footsteps in the bathroom. Figuring she was in there brushing her teeth or something he was just going to drag her out. But seeing her in a towel and stopped him completely and he just stared like any other 'Innocent' teenage boy would do.
Kagome started going red from embarrassment, then from anger. She mustered up as much strength as humanly possible, and ended up pulling a little of her miko powers into the slap she gave the boy just staring at her like she was a peace of meat. "HENTAI!!"
He put his hand over where she slapped him, and saw a pink glow around her hand before fading away. He growled and looked back into her eyes. "Why would I ever want to look at an ugly stick like you I was just coming up to tell you get your ass down to breakfast before I eat your food." With a huff he turned and slammed out her bedroom.
She watched him go with a growl of her own, less threatening but definitely a growl. She hurried and put on her black skirt and her black shirt and went down to breakfast.
What she saw when she got there was almost funny, and she would've laughed if today hadn't been a funeral for her mother and brother. Inuyasha sat there fuming, shooting death glances at Sesshoumaru who just had a funny smirk on his face. Inutaisho and Miori were exchanging glances, and Kagome figured that couldn't be good.
She took her seat next to Sesshoumaru still fuming from the earlier incident. She ate her breakfast quietly, each bite going down her throat like led. After a couple of bites she figured she would throw up if she ate anymore. She pushed her plate away and stood up, just as the others did the same. She realized they were all dressed in black. Then it hit here they were going to the funeral to. She would've been ok with Miori, but Inuyasha coming was going to end up making her blow up.
She narrowed her eyes at the hanyou with a look of 'Come near me and die' and turned heading out he dining room with Miori.
Inuyasha watched her and got pretty freaked out. I mean you would to if the new girl in the house just gave you a look so similar to your mothers that it seemed they were somehow related. He noticed Sesshoumaru smirking at him and he growled following the two women.
~~~
The day was cloudless, the birds were singing, the bees were buzzing, but in Kagome's eyes this was the worst day ever. She stood there silently weeping as the priest said a few words for her six year old brother and her miko mother. She nearly jumped into the grave after Souta, almost demanded to open the caskets that they weren't dead. But a voice in the back of her head restrained her telling her that she had to face it sooner or later, sooner better. When the caskets were finally lowered she turned and ran back to the car not wanting to deal with the sympathetic looks or hugs from the people who came.
That's where the Kamatache family found her, sitting on the ground leaning against a tire of the suv with her eyes closed. At first Miori thought she was asleep but when her eyes popped open she knew that she was just putting up the barriers she had seen yesterday. With a small smile to the girl she opened the door for her and closed it after she climbed into the third back seat. Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru were sitting in the one in front of her and Miori and Inutaisho were sitting in the very front.
Kagome stared at the strange family from the backseat, studying their auras mostly. What she found wasn't surprising, but absolutely contradictory to each other. 'Kami what have I gotten thrown into?'
A/N: There's the first chapter of my newest story, yes I know I have other ones but I'm just not inspired for them at the moment. Next chapter Kagome's first day at school. I want at least five reviews before I update.
