Title: Unspoken Fantasies

Author: Starilight_hotaru

 

Summary: Kagome is a 17-year-old senior at Ash High School. She lives with her father, who constantly mentally and physically abuses her, and her brother, who is mute. One day he is asked to look after Rin, Kagome's cousin, a 16-year-old girl who has been living in the jungles of Africa since she was small. How can Kagome hide her secret now, especially after her father has taken a `special' interest in the younger and more energetic Rin? Can Rin help Kagome find the courage hidden inside to get out of this horrible situation?

 

Kagome woke up at the break of dawn. Today was the day. Her cousin Rin was coming to Japan for her senior year in high school. She had actually lived in the jungles of Africa since she was three. She was being home schooled but her parents wanted her to interact with other children. Rin usually came for a week or two in the middle of July. It was good that Rin was coming; her father would have to behave more. That would mean less beatings and maybe more time out and away from home.

Kagome quickly got up and quietly slipped out of her room. She almost yelled when she bumped into her dresser. Her bruises from the night before were still sore. She went two doors down and opened her little brother's room.

“Souta, wake up and hurry to get dressed. We have to make daddy breakfast and then go pick Rin up from the airport.” Souta nodded and began to move around the room. Kagome didn't know what had happened to him. But the day their mother disappeared he stopped speaking.

Kagome went back into her room and slipped on some lose fitting black jeans and shirt. She pulled her hair into a high ponytail and put on dark make-up making sure to put a lot of dark shadow around her eyes so the bruise would blend in. She got her keys off her dresser and walked out of her room.

Downstairs, Souta was feeding their cat Buyo. Kagome gave him a weak smile as he got up and motioned toward her eye. “He punched me… but I think I'm used to it. Souta do I look Goth or abused.” Her little brother shrugged his shoulders and walked into the kitchen. Kagome followed close behind.

Inside the kitchen beer cans and cigarettes were all over the floor. Souta started to move the stuff as Kagome walked toward the fridge to find something for breakfast. She made a mental note to go grocery shopping and pulled out some eggs and bacon. She also pulled out some cereal for her and Souta. And for some reason Kagome's spirits soared, her father would probably be sleep until mid afternoon. Rin was coming and she had a date with Inu Yasha. Well, if you call going to the Kentucky Derby a date, but it was a start. After Kagome was done making breakfast and they ate they left to go pick up Rin.

“Rin promise me you won't tear Tokyo up while you're there…” Kivina, Rin's mother said as she kissed her daughter on the cheek.

“Promise mom…” Rin said quickly.

“And Rin don't go around freezing everyone. I want you to train but Japan already has enough problems with demons. Remember to train hard but don't goof around. And never go somewhere unarmed.” Her dad, Seito said while hugging his little girl.

Seito was an ice demon. He was able to create and manipulate ice and he had markings all over his body. Rin was a hanyou and could do the same but she only had two markings, a blue upside down triangle on her forehead and a small stripe on her left cheekbone.

“I will train hard and I will make you proud daddy. I'll call you later tonight which would be in the morning for me.” Rin hugged her parents once more and started toward their private plane.

“Wait Rin, remember to pick up your motorcycle and maybe Kagome might enjoy that Mustang of yours. Not like you ever use it…” Kivina said as her daughter nodded and boarded the plane. `I love you…' She signed to Rin who was looking at her through the window.

`I love you too. I'll miss you. Bye mom… Bye dad…' Rin signed back in the American Sign Language. And the plane took off into the sky.

~*~*~*~*~*~

It was not like she was happy to leave or anything, there were just a few people in Japan whom she promised to come back to. One in particular kept coming back to mind. Rin sat in the plane eating a light lunch. She was thinking about all the things that awaited her in Japan. The top three…

3. A real shower, yes lakes and springs where lovely to wash in but you always had to be on the lookout for predators. It would be nice to not have to worry about a lost croc looking for the Nile and stumbling upon you.

2. Stores and malls, she loved markets and trading was the best because you didn't need money but she was a girl and malls appealed to her. The first time she went in one she became obsessed. (Yes that is natural…)

1. Sesshoumaru. Yes, Sesshoumaru… The one that gave her the small charm bracelet she was wearing now. Out of all the people she had met she liked him the most. She had told Kagome about it and she just laughed. As Kagome put it Sesshoumaru was `Colder than the ice that flies out of your hands. But he is a little nicer to you than anyone I know…' Actually he had done nothing or said anything to her to put on edge. All she knew was the first time she went to Tokyo he gave her a charm bracelet, which she found out later from Inu Yasha, belonged to his mother.

There were other reasons he was number one. Um… Can't tell you about that now because um… It is kinda wrong.

“Miss Rin half an hour until we land…” The stewardess said while coming out of the cockpit. (That's a funny word almost as funny as codpiece)

“That's great! I can't stand being in one place to long…”

“So, Kagome what time do you have to pick Rin up? She's staying for the whole school year, right?” Inu Yasha said while he slid her lemonade across the table. Kagome had left Souta at Sango and Kohaku's she was now passing the time with Inu Yasha.

“Yeah an in about a half hour… you can come with me.” Kagome said quickly, she hated being in crowded places alone.

“Yeah, nothing cool's happening over here until the old man gets up and finds the grass not mowed, the trash not out and Ah and Un not fed.” Inu Yasha said quickly. “Wait maybe we should head out early, um… you know then we can stay in town for a while and…”

“Come back when your father's calmed down…” Kagome said with a giggled.

“Feh…”

“Let's go Inu Yasha; we can get some groceries on the way…”

“Ohhh… Ramen…” Inu Yasha said dreamily.

“Didn't your mom ban you from having ramen for a month? You were kinda obsessed.” Kagome stated.

“I was not!”

“Were too!” and as the two argued over if Inu Yasha was obsessed with Ramen they were being watched.

So, how do you like it? Just for my readers (I know I have at least one), I have not given up on any of stories. I just keep hitting writers block. Please review this story. I'll try to update it once a week but no promises.

And for the people reading Nozomi High I plan to revise it sometime next week. Then I'll get on with it. It just isn't going the way I wanted it to. So, between these two things I'll have my hands tied.

I am also planning to delete some of my stories because I really have given up on them. Missing Voice, The Two Meanings of Hard, and Starlight Rhapsody are coming down. And next week I'm taking off Back Massage so that its rightful owner can post it. Thank you all for being so patient with me. If there are any objections to these removals please email before midnight.
