Chapter 5: Shopping and The Feudal Era!

Last time: Kagome and Mrs. Higurashi ran to Jen and there was an exchange of hugs and tears.

Mrs. Higurashi noticed that Jennifer and Kagome looked almost like twins. They were definitely sisters.

~~~~~~~~~~

Mrs. Higurashi, Kagome, and Jennifer were in the car driving back to the shrine. Jennifer was looking out the window and asking questions. They had about 15 bags in the trunk, that all belonged to Jennifer. There was a special looking one; it was a long, rectangular shaped, thin, case like thing; with the head of, what looked like, a lion or griffon on it.

Kagome knew that it must be very important to Jen. There were also some other really big cases that, Kagome decided, had her weapons in them. Others had her clothes and other accessories.

~*~*~*~*~

Soon they where at the Higurashi Shrine. They all got out of the car; Jennifer stared in awe at the shrine with its many steps that led to the shrine's courtyard.(A/N: I'm just going to call it a courtyard 'cuz there is different 'houses' surrounding it that you can go into).

They all walked into the house; all with suitcases in their hands. Jennifer carried that strange case Kagome was pondering about in the car. They all walked up stairs and into the guest bedroom; where Jennifer would be staying. It was next to Kagome's room and across from Sota's.

Sota and Jii-chan were out sweeping the grounds and didn't hear them come back. Mrs. Higurashi left the two girls in Jennifer's new room and went to cook lunch.

"So, this is the room I'll be staying in?", Jennifer asked Kagome.

"Yeah. I'll show you around Tokyo after lunch. We can go to the mall and get some clothes and other stuff!" Kagome replied.

"Yeah! That'll be awesome!" Said Jennifer, excited that her sister'd show her around. 'Sister. Calling her that sounds so right. Now, after so long, we can finally catch up on everything.' Thought Jennifer.

"Great! Ok, lets put some of your stuff away and lunch should be ready by the time we are done." Kagome said, wanting to see the stuff she brought from America.

Kagome had always wondered about America. One of her friends, Eri, went on a trip to America and said she loved it. They had strange clothes sometimes. Some tops that cut off and showed your stomach. Japanese stores had clothes like that, but it was very rare to see a Japanese woman wearing something that showed her stomach. (A/N: Now, I don't know if they do have clothes that show off their stomach or not. A bathing suit sure. But, I don't think that a lot of Japanese would wear something that showed their stomach. I know a lot of American's do, duh, I live in America. That's just my opinion on it though. And it's my story, so I can type what I want!)

They put Jennifer's clothes in the drawers; in the dresser that was in her room. Some of her clothes they put, on hangers, in the closet. Kagome questioned on some of her clothes. Jennifer had a lot of short tops and some shorts that were really short. At least really short in Kagome's opinion. Most of her clothes were black or dark blue and Jennifer said it was because she liked to wear the color black; it could show that she was not someone to be messed with. (A/N: I'm not trying to make her sound evil exactly. Just that she's a really tuff chick! Yea! Power to the girls! Who's with me!? Sorry, boys. I just really believe that girls can be really stronger than boys. But, boys can still be strong. No hard feelings!)

~*~*~*~*~

Kagome and Jennifer were walking down the stairs after Mrs. Higurashi had called them down to eat lunch.

They were walking to the kitchen when the front door opened. Jii-chan and Sota came in the door with Sota ignoring Jii-chan since he was giving another lecture. Sota looked up at Kagome and then looked at the strange girl next to his sister; as was Jii-chan.

Kagome spoke first to break the silence, "Jii-chan, Sota, this is Jennifer. You know, the one from America."

There was another silence. Before Jennifer knew it, she had Sota jumping in her arms and Jii-chan walking over to her. She put her arms around Sota and hugged him tightly. Then she gave Jii-chan a hug. Mrs. Higurashi came in the living room, where everyone was, and there was another exchange of hugs and tears. Now, they felt like a complete family. (A/N: Yes, I know, a lot of fluff. But I just can't help it. If you want me to cut down on the fluff, or, put more up then tell me in your review. I will totally have I/K and S/M fluff though. What can I say? I'm just a helpless romantic...*sigh*)

~*~*~*~*~

After lunch, Kagome got her mom's car keys and credit card. Kagome and Jennifer went out to the car and got in. Kagome put the keys in the ignition and started the car. On the way, to the mall, Kagome and Jennifer talked about random things. Kagome asked about things in America. Jennifer told her about boys in America, cars, malls, food, eating places, clothes, technology, and other random things.

Kagome listed carefully, still paying attention to driving. She had learned some things about America in school, sure, but some of the teachers seemed like they were trying to make America sound like a bad country. But, now, hearing it from someone who has actually lived in America, it didn't sound bad completely. Of course, Kagome knew that every place had bad points to it. There could be no perfect place; where there would be no stealing, murders, or even little things such as stealing a pencil from a classmate. There could just be no such place. At least that's what Kagome believed.

~*~*~*~*~

Soon they arrived at the mall. It was a big building with about three floors.

Kagome and Jennifer went inside at went into the first store they saw. It had soaps and hair shampoos and other bathing supplies.

Kagome looked at Jennifer, excited since she loved this store, said, "Get three scents of whatever smell you like and then get whatever shampoo and conditioner. If you need anything else that you really want, then you can get it."

Jennifer nodded to show she understood. So, she went to the scents and picked three that she really liked. Peach, Jasmine, and Lavender. Her three favorite scents!

Kagome got Lavender, Jasmine, and Cherry. Then they picked the shampoo and conditioner that they wanted. They also got some bath salts that smelled of White Roses. Also both of their favorites. This proved that they had even more in common.

Kagome put all her and Jennifer's stuff on the counter, after the person in front of them was done paying for their things. Kagome swiped the credit card and after they paid, put the stuff in bags and left for the next store.

The next store was Robinson's May. They went straight for the clothes. After picking whatever clothes they wanted, they went to the dressing rooms. Kagome went first to try on her clothes. Jennifer sat on a bench in front of her dressing room, waiting to be shown Kagome's first outfit.

She came out soon after wearing blue jeans and a red top that said, in pink letters 'Perfect Angel...Not'. Kagome twirled around in a little circle almost like a model.

"So, what do you think?" Kagome asked.

"Oh, that is SO cute, Kagome! I love it!"

Kagome smiled sweetly and said, "Really? Does it really look good?"

Jennifer nodded, "Yes, it looks really good. I wish I found that, but I think it looks better on you."

Kagome's smile widened, "Thanks! I really liked this too when I saw it. I'm glad it fits!"

Then Kagome also tried on a light pink sundress with yellow sunflowers and yellow flip-flops, dark blue shorts with a white top, khaki pants with a light brown top; and a red skirt that went to her ankles with a red, long sleeved shirt with bell-sleeves. The shirt shimmered every time she moved and it moved with her. Finally Kagome was done and changed back into her normal school uniform.

Kagome sat on the bench that Jennifer sat on as Jennifer went in the dressing room. Jennifer tried on dark blue pants that had shimmering chains that went from her front pocket to her back pocket. With that she wore a black top (A/N: Surprise, Surprise!...Here my sarcasm...) with shoulder straps that intertwined with each other at her neck and connected at the back of her neck. (A/N: I know, I do these a lot. Sorry! I just want to make sure you guys understand everything. I don't want my readers to be confused or anything! I want to be a good author! Anyway, I know I called them shoulder straps, but I couldn't find a better way to describe it! Just so you do know, they do not go on her shoulders! So, they just intertwine at the front of her neck and connect in the back. I hope you understand!)

Next Jennifer came out with black shorts that had a spiked belt and a dark red top with long sleeves that read, in black letters that looked like it was dripping blood, 'Deadly Angel'. She went back in and next came out with a black skirt that went to mid-thigh and a dark purple top, that had a red, white, and blue American Flag. In the background of the whole front of the top was what looked like two big towers that had some smoke coming out of a big part of the buildings.

Jennifer was very surprised they had this shirt in Japan. It was of the American Flag in the middle and the Twin Towers in the background that covered the whole front. In the back, in peach letters, it said:

"Gone...But Never Will Be Forgotten"

Jennifer looked at Kagome's puzzled look and asked, "What? What's wrong?"

Kagome looked at Jennifer's face, that held slight concern, and said, "Oh, it's nothing. I was just wondering about that shirt. I know in the middle that's the United States of America Flag, right?"

Jennifer nodded.

Kagome continued, "Well, in the background it has to towers that look really big and look as if they're on fire... Is that suppose to mean something? What are those two towers for?"

Jennifer looked slightly shocked at this question. 'Did they not tell the Japanese what happened in America? How could they not? Does Kagome know about the war between us and Iraq? I don't see why they wouldn't tell them... Maybe they're government didn't think it was very important to tell them what happened... Like it's our problem to deal with... At this thought Jennifer felt anger boil inside of her. But I suppose it is our problem to deal with. They can't help us I'm pretty sure. Jennifer calmed down and started answering Kagome's questions.

"Yes, it does have two towers, on fire, in the background. They are called the Twin Towers. The Twin Towers are in a state called New York. They are very important to us and in 2001..." Jennifer explained everything to Kagome and at the end of the long, detailed story, Kagome had tears of anger and sadness in her eyes.

There was a moment of silence, each lost in their own thoughts. It was hard for Jennifer to retell that whole story to her sister. It was very heart breaking. Sure, she didn't lose anyone, but she still had to go through all that sadness and heartache for and of others. Jennifer felt emotions greatly but could cover it so she wouldn't totally break down. Jennifer noticed that Kagome felt emotions greatly also. She seemed like she felt what Jennifer had to go through during and after the Twin Towers attack.

Kagome got her emotions under control and wiped away her tears. They both stood up and Jennifer got changed. She came out again and Kagome paid for their clothes. They had about five bags each, even if they did go to only two stores.

They went out of Robinson's May and walked into a candy store. Kagome brightened up and Kagome quickly got little candy's for Shippo.

Then they both heard barks and meows. They looked at each other and smiled. Then they walked as fast as they could, with all their bags, and went into Pet's Mart. They looked at the birds and the ferrets. Then looked at all the kittens. Lastly, they looked at the puppies. Every time one of the puppies moved or even twitched they would squeal and they'd say how cute it was. (A/N: Ok, I'm making them sound really girly. But I have a soft spot for animals and especially dogs and wolves... Yeah, so canines. Sure I like the wild cats in the forests. Not really the house cats, I'm allergic to house cats. So I really, really, really love canines! Just FYI)

One of the last puppies was small and pure white. It looked to be sleeping, but then turned his head up to look at them. It had big, totally cute, golden eyes. With a little black nose and cute puppy ears right on the top of his head. It was just all pure white with no other colors. Right when Kagome looked at it she knew she had to have it... But she wasn't sure if she should bring it to the Feudal Era with her, because she wouldn't just leave it in her time. It looked exactly like Inuyasha, and that's why she knew she had to have it. It was just SO cute! Kagome walked up to the cashier and asked him to keep the cute puppy on hold for her, and think about if she really should buy the puppy. She was perfectly capable of taking care of a puppy. She puts up with Inuyasha and Shippo, and that makes her totally capable of taking care of a small puppy.

~*~*~*~*~

Kagome and Jen got in the car and drove home with all of their bags in the backseats.

~*~*~*~*~

When they got home, they put all of their things into their bedrooms. Kagome had told Jennifer on the way home that they would be going to the Feudal Era tonight, and when they got home she should start packing. So, Kagome and Jennifer were in their rooms packing their backpacks for the Feudal Era. Jennifer put some changes of clothes and some food and she put her weapons on her.

Her Gunblade sheath on her hip and had her Gunblade in it. Her black gloves on that had the fingers cut off so they wouldn't get all sweaty when she fought. Her bow and arrows on her back. Her bow was made just for her, just like her Gunblade. It was white with a black string and had a picture of angel wings on it. Her arrows were white with angel wings painted on both sides. Her arrows were very different. They could be used over and over again. They always came back to her after a fight. She could clean them of the blood after a fight and they'd look bran new.

Jennifer was dressed in one of her new outfits. It was the dark blue pants with the chains and the black top that had the straps intertwine and connect in the back of her neck. Jennifer got her backpack and walked out her door, closing it behind her. Kagome came out of her room at the same time. She was wearing her regular school uniform and had her huge yellow backpack in her hands. They went down stairs and saw Mrs. Higurashi in the living room watching TV. She turned her head and when she saw them got off the couch, shutting the TV off. She walked up to her daughter and Jennifer, who she now considered a daughter, and gave them both a hug.

"By mama. I'll try to come visit soon, ok? Tell Sota and Jii-chan goodbye for me. See you soon." Kagome said, hugging her mom again.

Jennifer hugged her again also and said, "Goodbye, Mrs. Higurashi. I'll get Kagome back safely for you. We will try to come back soon."

Mrs. Higurashi looked at her and smiled, "Please, Jennifer, call me Mama. I already consider you my own daughter. And, well... I was going to wait...but I want to give you time to think about this... Well, I've heard about your family, you mother's side, I mean, and I know for a fact that she wasn't the best mother like she could have been... I think you understand that..." Jennifer nodded. Her mother wasn't very good at all. Of course she like wouldn't beat Jennifer or anything, but Jennifer was always the one cleaning up everything and held so much responsibility at such a young age.

Mrs. Higurashi continued, "Anyway, if it is okay with you, I would like to adopt you into this family!"

Jennifer looked totally shocked and happy at the same time. She knew her decision right away and knew it was the right one. "Oh, really!? Oh, I would love to become a permanent part of this family! And I don't really have anything left for me back in America... So, yes, I want to become a part of this family! Thank you so much!" Jennifer hugged Mrs. Higurashi really tight and cried happy tears on her shoulder while Mrs. Higurashi held her. Kagome got into the hug to, happy that Jennifer would be her real sister and not just a half-sister.

~*~*~*~*~

After that cheerful news from Mrs. Higurashi, Kagome told her mother about the puppy she saw in Pet's Mart. Her mother said that it was Kagome's decision if she wanted the puppy or not. So, she would think about it and come to a decision that she knew was right.

So, the two girls walked to the well house with everything they needed and jumped into the well.
