Chapter Four:

Kagome blinked and turned around to where the voice came from, there coming from an opening that led into another room was a woman, she looked about twenty-five, brown caramel hair, and smile on her face that lip up the room.

Blushing Kagome gave small smile, “Hello, I'm Kagome Higurashi.”

The woman smiled at Kagome, as she took another step forward, “Welcome to our home, I'm Esme Cullen.”

“Thank You for having me.” Kagome looked around the room, and saw that Emmett was sitting on the couch with the others.

“Kagome came over to do a project with Jasper and me.” Rose smirked, glancing at Esme. It was like they all knew something she didn't. Like they were keeping something hidden.

“That's nice.” Esme said, as she gestured for her to come and sit down in the family room with everyone. Sitting down Kagome looked at Rose who had her smirk still in place.

“What project are you three doing?” Esme asked curiously, she seemed like she was really interested. Most mothers weren't that interested in kids homework, or that she remembered.

Grinning Rose answered, “We have to translate two books into Spanish.” Jasper who was beside her gave a cough, making Kagome look at him weird.

Jasper gave her a small smirk and flashed an innocent look at his ‘mother’. “Thanks to Rose, she made the teacher mad by speaking English in Spanish class and now we have to do two books while everyone else only has to do one.” By the end of the sentence you could practically hear the ‘woe is me’ tone dripping from his every word.

Rose shot him an evil look while Kagome hid her small giggle behind her hand as Esme gave Rose a scolding look. “Now Rose that’s not very nice. I expect you to pick up the slack since its your fault you have to do two books.”

Rose seethed lightly but nodded her head a small but sexy pout on her lips. “Yeah, yeah.”

Emmett laughed as he wrapped an arm around Rose’s slim waist and pulled her closer to him making her huff lightly. “Aw its okay hun I can help out if you promise not to tell.”

Jasper snorted lightly. “Aw, no thank ya Emmett. We’d never get anything done if you helped.” He chuckled lightly as Emmett huffed at him but did nothing more as Esme gave them the look. The ‘you two better stop it right now look.’

Kagome laughed lightly, loving how well they all interacted and wished her family could have been like them. She quickly shook that dark thought off and pulled her backpack off of her back and set in it her lap. “Well I think we should get started now, each book is about two hundred plus pages…”

Jasper nodded and scooted closer to her pulling out his own notebook and pencil. Rose let out a sad sigh and pulled the two books from her backpack and groaned. “This is going to suck.”

Esme laughed as all three teens nodded sadly and began to work on their project Emmett hanging over the couch to bug them. “Well while you three do that I’ll call Edward and tell him to go get your car. May I have your keys Kagome?”

Kagome blinked looking up from the Spanish to English dictionary in her hands a small blush on her face and nodded. “Yeah one sec.” With that she dug one hand into her pocket and pulled out her keys yet again, before she could hand them over to Esme, Emmett swooped in and grabbed them.

“Thank you!” With a sly smirk he was out of the door before anyone could say anything.

Rose rolled her eyes as Kagome looked after him a small worried look on her face. “Don’t worry he may be a dummy but he loves cars and would never endanger yours.”

Kagome nodded lightly not knowing what to say. “Er…okay?” With that she went back to her dictionary.

Kagome was so involved with her work, having gotten through the first three chapters of the book, that she jumped and let out a load squeak when someone shoved a paper bag in front of her face. “Ekkk!” She blushed as she looked up from her tangled spot on the floor, where she had fallen when she jumped, and looked up at an amused Edward, the family’s laughter echoing lightly in her ears. “Geez Edward! Way to give me a heart attack!”

Edward smiled lightly as he crouched down in front of her and once again held out the bag. “Sorry I tried getting your attention but you were in ‘the zone’. Here it’s some Chinese food from Woks Kitchen.”

Kagome blinked and accepted the bag gratefully the scent of the delicious Chinese food making her mouth water and she realized she hadn’t’ eaten anything since lunch. “Thanks. Um should we eat it in the kitchen?”

Esme smiled from her spot on the couch and shook her head. “It fine if you eat in here. Besides we’ve all ready all ate. So it will be just you eating and I don’t think you want to eat alone in the kitchen.”

Kagome nodded as she placed the bag of food on the coffee table and began pulling out the spoils of war from the Chinese place. “Ohhh Beef and Broccoli! And wontons! My favorite!! How did you know?!”

Edward chuckled as he took her previous spot on the couch and shrugged picking up the forgotten dictionary. “Just a lucky guess now eat. I’ll keep working on this.”

Normally Kagome would have said no to his offer of help, feeling a sense of responsibility when it came to school work, but hey she was hungry and they had a deadline. So with a happy smile and a quick but cute ‘let’s eat’ she dug into the food.

She had barely picked up the chopsticks when her cell phone began to ring and with a disappointed sigh she dug it out of her pocket and answered it. “Hello.” She frowned at the voice that greeted her.

“Its me Bella get home now Dad wants to talk to you and let me just say I told you so. You’re in so much trouble, you never should have slapped me or gone over to those disgusting Cullen’s house.”

Kagome frowned as Bella’s snooty tone echoed in her ear. “I’m doing homework I’ll come home when I’m done.”

Bella snorted. “No come home now.” With that Bella hung up making Kagome huff in anger as she shoved her cell in her pocket and began angrily gathering her things and shoving them in her bag, ingoing the worried looks from the Cullen’s.

Kagome quickly grabbed her books and dictionary from Edwards hands and shoved them in her bag. “Hey is Emmett back with my car yet? I need to go.” She gave them a strained smile hopping Emmett was already back.”

Esme nodded and held out Kagome’s keys. “Yes, he got back half an hour ago…is everything okay hun?”

Kagome took the keys and gave another strained smile. “Yeah, its just something came up at him and I have to go. I’m really sorry about this I’ll try and come over tomorrow I promise.” With that she gave a small wave and ran out of the house into the pouring rain outside before anyone could offer any objections.

Everyone turned to Edward with questioning looks and he scowled. “Bella.” He spit the name out like it was poison.

Rose hissed lightly as she got up to stand by the bay window and watched Kagome yank open her door and toss her bag into her car before getting in and slamming the door shut. She narrowed her eyes at Kagome's retreating car a small scowl on her red lips. "Damn that Bella bitch even now she’s a thorn in our side."

Emmett sighed as he wrapped an arm around Rose's waist and lead her away from the bay window. "There, there hun I think we made great progress. Plus she did say she was coming over tomorrow as well."

Rose nodded the scowl still on her face as she cursed Bella Swan to hell and back.

Kagome fumed as she drove very quickly towards her uncle’s house Bella’s mean and nasty words ringing in her head. How dare she talk to her like that? She quickly pushed down her anger as she pulled up to the house and took a deep breath to steady herself as she parked her car, she had a bad feeling that something was going to happen. Her call from Bella earlier said it all.

She flicked the windshield wipers off, then cut the engine. She might as well get this over and done with. Nothing like the present! Taking a breath she picked up her school bag and headed into the house, Charlie was already here, the cruiser was proof of that, and Bella was here as well, her ratty old truck stuck out anywhere.

“Kagome? That you?” A gruff voice called out from the kitchen, she could hear the clinging of a fork being put down on a plate then the sound of someone getting up.

“Yes, its me.” Kagome called back, knowing she couldn't get out of talking to him. It was just her luck she befriended the Cullen family, they were the only ones she really liked in town so far. She did like Angela though, from school. She seemed like the only other person in Forks she would get along with.

“Good. I was wondering when you would get home.” Charlie sighed, he held out his left hand making Kagome look at him weirdly.

Sighing again Charlie said one word, “Keys.”

Narrowing her eyes, she hesitantly gave him the keys. She didn't want to, but she also didn't want to start fighting right away either.

Charlie pocketed the keys and gestured for her to sit down, “I believe we have something to talk about.” He started as he sat down, frown on his face. He wasn't enjoying having to sit her down and have a talk.

“Ok.” Kagome murmured, sitting down so she could talk to him face to face, “What is this about.” She was going to be quick and blunt about it. No use staling.

“I got a call from Bella, and talked to her again when I got home.” Charlie sighed, he really didn't like doing this but he didn't want Kagome around the Cullen family either.

“What did she say?” Kagome snipped out, eyes narrowed. She had a feeling that Bella didn't tell the whole truth. Not that she expected here to, but still.

“She said you went somewhere with the Cullen's after school.” He leaned back in his chair, eyes narrowed somewhat, “That and you slapped her speaking the truth at lunch.”

Snorting Kagome glared at her Uncle, she loved him, she really did. There was just some things she knew he would choose before her, that was his daughter. He would believe anything she said, he loved her too much and didn't want to lose her, “I did slap her for a good reason, and I went to my friends house after school for more than one reason.”

Charlie took a deep breath, “Kagome, I brought you here to help Bella, not hate her. I know the two of you never really gotten along, but your family. You becoming friends with the ones that hurt Bella isn't helping that hate, and more importantly I don't want you involved with that family.”

Kagome stood up, glaring down at his seated form, “I can make friends with who I please. I actually really like the Cullen family. They are nice people. They are nicer to me then my own family. Did you ever think that I didn't want to come here, but owned it to you, Charlie.” Kagome took a deep breath, “I love you Charlie I do, but I also know that you would pick Bella over me any day!”

Charlie looked at his niece shocked at her outburst, he knew there was truth to what she said, but he loved her. He just wanted the best for her, just like he did with Bella. He didn't want her to get involved with that family and see her hurt. He saw how hurt she was when his sister died along his niece and father. He saw how broken she was, and never wanted to see her hurt again.

“I still don't want you seeing that family. You can hate me, but stay away from them!” Charlie was now standing, trying to get through to her. He knew he wouldn't though, she was far to stubborn for her own good.

“I can do as I please!” Kagome snarled out, she was getting sick of what people were saying about her new friends. She really liked that family, she had a sense of belonging she hadn't felt in a long time. Kagome didn't want that taken away from her, not when she just found it, “Can I have my keys back, I am going to go for a drive.”

“Your under my house while you are here, and under eighteen.” Charlie growled out, he knew what was best for her. At least he hoped he did, “And the keys stay with me, if you want to go somewhere walk.” With that he turned his heel and headed up the stairs, he was mad she wasn't listening to him, but he knew with time he would get to her.

“I told you, you should have listened to me.” Bella's voice echoed in the room, she was standing at the kitchen door, eyes filled with amusement and resentment.

“I don't have to listen to a thing you say Bella, we don't get along. Never have.” Kagome was glaring at her, lips pulled back in a snarl, “I don't have to listen to a twat like you.”

Bella laughed, “But you will eventually. Charlie believes me more so then you.” She had a smirk on her face, a wild look in her brown eyes, “If you know what is good for you, stay away from the Cullen's...”

She started her way up the stairs, but paused, “Better yet, stay away from everyone. No one likes a freak or an orphan.”

Kagome glared at her retreating with eyes filled with tears, as she went out the door slamming it behind her as hard as she could. She would walk then, she would stay out of the whole night if it meant staying away from Bella. She had no right to bring up her families deaths.

Not caring that it was raining hard, Kagome walked down the street, her clothes already sticking to her body like a second skin. She just wanted to get far away. She had a feeling Bella did have a way to make her miserable, but she would do it right back at her.

Right now she wished she was back in Spain, least there she had a better life. She had friends, a job, and places to have fun. There was less rain too.

Laughing Kagome stopped walking, and sat on the grass off of the street, “I should have just stayed in Spain!” She fell back into the grass looking up into the sky as the rain pelted her freezing body. She could feel her own tears start to leak mixing into the rain.

Closing her eyes she took a deep breath trying to calm herself, she had heard a couple cars pass by every so often but blocked it out. She just wanted to wash everything away.

It felt like she was laying there for hours, when she heard the sound of car doors opening and a worried voice calling out to her, “Kagome? Honey?”

Opening her eyes she saw Esme Cullen standing over her, eyes filled with worry. Next to her stood a blond male, eyes filled with just as much worry, before Esme started speaking again, “Kagome? Are you alright? Why are you out here?”

Smiling Kagome closed her eyes, “Hi Esme. I'm fine. I just couldn't stay in the same house as Bella anymore.” She tried to sit up but didn't have the strength, she must have been out her longer than she thought.

Sighing she groaned as a wave of dizziness hit her, “And now I just don't have the energy to move.” Her head was starting to hurt too, but said nothing more. She felt stupid right now, as well as embarrassed.

Kagome felt someone kneeling down, and sit her up right. She opened her eyes again and saw the man wrapping what looked like a doctors coat around her shoulders then lifting her up, causing her to yelp in surprise.

She heard the two laugh, and before she passed out heard the man holding her bridle style introduce himself. He also said some more but couldn't quit keep up.

All she thought was his name before drifting off.

Carlisle Cullen
