Chapter 2: New Family

 

They had been there one month. In the first week Kagome started hating the place, but now she despised it. A couple times a week a couple would come by and the owner of the building would show them all the children.

 

It reminded Kagome of an auction. Every time the couples would get to Kagome and Souta's room the owner would always say how smart she was or how athletic he was.

 

Kagome wondered if this was how the slaves felt when they were auctioned off.

 

One day a family came. Nameo was the mother, Kenji was the father, and Seiji was the only son they had. They became particularly interested in Kagome when they had seen all the children. The only problem was that Kagome was a two package deal. If Kagome went, then Souta would go too.

 

“We were really only looking for one child, but Kenji seems attached to her,” Nameo smiled.

 

“Come on dear, we can handle two. We raised Seiji just fine didn't we?” Kenji asked.

 

“Okay we'll adopt them both,” Nameo said.

 

“Okay, if you'd just come with me I'll give you all the paperwork you need to fill out,” the owner said.

 

The family looked nice enough. Kenji looked like he was a good family man and Nameo seemed like a nice housewife. Seiji looked smart and athletic at the same time. Seiji had stayed behind to talk to Kagome and Souta.

 

“Are they really going to adopt us?” Kagome asked Seiji.

 

“Looks like it. My father seems to like you and he's a man that believes that first impressions are everything,” Seiji said.

 

“See Souta, I told you everything would be okay!” Kagome smiled and hugged her little brother.

 

“I'm so glad! I'm really starting to hate this place,” Souta said.

 

“So how did you two wind up in here?” Seiji asked.

 

“Our mother died a month ago and the IRS repossessed our home, so here we are,” Kagome said.

 

“I'm really sorry to hear that. You guys are lucky you've only been here a month though. Some of the kids have been here for years and are desperate to get out,” Seiji said.

 

“I can see why. A month is long enough for us,” Souta said.

 

“Let's go see if my parents are done,” Seiji said.

 

“Alright, let's go,” Kagome smiled.

 

~*~*~

 

“You're going to love our home. It's a little small, but it'll be better than that foster home,” Nameo smiled.

 

“Thank you for adopting us ma'am,” Kagome said.

 

“It was our pleasure. We only wish that we can give every orphan a home,” Nameo said.

 

Kagome flinched slightly at the word and Seiji noticed.

 

“Mom! Don't call them orphans! They had a family too,” Seiji said.

 

“I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings,” Nameo said.

 

Kagome looked up to see Kenji staring at her in the rearview mirror. She got a bad feeling from his gaze and looked away. Why was he looking at her like that? Something was up and Kagome didn't like it one bit.

 

Finally they pulled up to a house and Kenji put it in park on the side of the street. Everyone got out of the car and started to make their way to the entrance.

 

“What do you two think?” Nameo asked.

 

“It's a lovely home, ma'am,” Kagome smiled.

 

“Please call me Nameo. Maybe one day you can call me mom,” Nameo said and pulled Kagome into a hug.

 

“One day,” Kagome repeated, trying to get Nameo off of her. Why was Kagome getting all of the attention? Souta and Seiji were there too, but they were being ignored.

 

“Come, we have a room set up for you. We didn't know that we would adopt two kids, but I'm sure Souta won't mind sleeping on the couch for a while,” Kenji said.

 

“We can share a room. We used to share a bed when we were little,” Kagome stated.

 

“But he's a boy and you're a girl. Aren't you scared of changing in front of him?” Nameo asked.

 

“He's my little brother and I can just change in the bathroom or something,” Kagome said.

 

“Nonsense! You will have your own room,” Kenji said pushing Kagome into the house. For some reason this place didn't feel like home at all.

 

~*~*~

 

Souta and Kagome sat on the sidewalk in front of the house after getting settled in. Kagome needed some air since she felt smuggled and decided she wanted Souta with her.

 

“I don't like this place,” Souta whispered.

 

“Me neither, but be grateful that they took us in. It's better than the other place,” Kagome said.

 

“Yeah, but the atmosphere is weird. It's like they are being too nice and especially to you. It's like you're the only person they see,” Souta said.

 

“Yeah, I know, it's really starting to creep me out. I don't get why they like me so much,” Kagome said.

 

“I want mom back,” Souta mumbled.

 

“I do too Souta. I do too,” Kagome said and wrapped her arm around his shoulders.

 

“What are you doing out here Kagome?! Outside is for boys! Girls stay inside,” Nameo called from the house.

 

“Come on, let's go inside squirt,” Kagome smiled and ruffled Souta's hair before standing and heading toward the house.

 

“Hey!” Souta shouted and ran after his sister. “I'm not a squirt! One day I'm gonna be bigger than you!”

 

“Keep dreaming little man,” Kagome teased as they entered the house.

 

“Come Kagome, I'll take you shopping,” Nameo smiled.

 

“Can Souta come too? He really needs some new clothes too,” Kagome said.

 

“Of course not! When girls go shopping no guys are allowed,” Nameo said.

 

“Well, I don't really feel up to it. I think I want to go take a nap,” Kagome said.

 

“Okay dear, we'll go later,” Nameo smiled.

 

“Come on Souta,” Kagome whispered and they went up to her room. They got up to the room and Kagome locked the door behind them.

 

“I don't like this. Why do girls and boys have to always be separated?” Souta asked.

 

“I don't know. We'll go shopping tomorrow together,” Kagome smiled.

 

“Okay, let's do it,” Souta smiled.

 

“I'm going to take a nap. Do you want to too?” Kagome asked.

 

“Sure!” Souta said.

 

Kagome crawled into bed and left room for Souta to lay down beside her. Kagome pulled Souta close to her and fell asleep. They were going to have a tough time adjusting to this place.

 

Souta looked up at his older sister and smiled. She was all he had now. He had to protect her with all his being or she would get hurt. He didn't know what this family was scheming, but he would protect Kagome.

 

~*~*~

 

“Do we really have to do this to her?” Seiji asked his parents.

 

“You know that we are broke and we need the money,” Nameo said.

 

“We need a young and attractive girl to do this,” Kenji said.

 

“But she just lost her mom. She won't ever go for it,” Seiji said.

 

“That's where her little brother comes in. We just threaten to hurt her brother if she doesn't cooperate,” Kenji smirked.

 

“We already have costumers lined up for her,” Nameo said.

 

“This isn't right. Why can't you just find a job like every normal person?” Seiji asked.

 

“Your father has worked all of his life and he is tired of it,” Nameo stated.

 

“Then you go get a job!” Seiji said.

 

“Ladies do not work,” Nameo said sticking her nose in the air.

 

“But Kagome is a lady,” Seiji said.

 

“That girl is an orphan. She's nothing, but a lost little girl who doesn't know the difference between right and wrong. It wouldn't surprise me if she wasn't a virgin still,” Nameo said.

 

“Do what you like, but don't get me involved,” Seiji said and left.

 

“That little whore is going to make us a lot of money,” Kenji smirked.
