Chapter 1: The Hole in the Wall
“Flight 792, now departing for New York City at Gate 76.” Said the cool mechanical voice of a woman announcer over the intercoms.
Kagome jumped slightly at the voice and looked around. That was her flight…Kagome got up and grabbed her bags, dragging them weakly towards Gate 76. Kagome breathed heavily with the stress of dragging the bags and wiped some sweat from her brow.
The sweat caused her large glasses to slip down her nose and she pushed them up in a fluid motion that showed it was more of a habit than a burden pushing up the large spectacles. Kagome’s long black hair was done in pigtail braids that had odd ends of hair sticking out. She wore baggy clothes that looked like they should be a man’s and her sneakers screeched on the floor as she walked.
Kagome stared at her feet while she walked through the terminal to her flight, usually no one noticed her existence and merely side stepped her without a glance, she didn’t expect to run into someone.
Her bags were knocked aside and the small carry on sprang open and books flew out and scattered across the floor. Kagome sat on her ass, rubbing her head where it had collided into a strong broad chest.
Kagome’s glasses slid down her nose as she looked up threw her lashes at the tall man standing before her. She immediately recognized the demonic features and could tell that it was a hanyou, a dog hanyou to be precise.
The dog hanyou’s ears twitched as he stared down at her in irritation. When she gulped and began to shuffle on the floor for her books the hanyou got a look of pity. He crouched down and began to gather her books. “You should watch where you’re going wench.” He grumbled not expecting the meek looking girl to respond so sharply.
“You are the one who just plowed right into a defenseless girl you jerk.” She snapped angrily. She had thought him to be nice for helping her but decided she didn’t want such a rude guy’s help anyway.
Inuyasha blinked owlishly at her and soon gained his bearings again and tossed one of her books into the medium sized suitcase. “Fine then bitch, if I’m such a jerk then I should act like one. How about I spit on your dirty books!” Inuyasha taunted picking up one of the books. Kagome gasped and snatched it back from the smirking hanyou. When he saw how she cradled the book like it had feelings he scoffed. ‘She shows more attention to that book than me. This girl sure is strange…’
Kagome put the last of her books in the suitcase with care and began to zip it up as she spoke. “You sure were in a hurry…” she stated and Inuyasha was immediately aware that she wanted to know more about him without having to outright ask.
“Yeah, I was looking for Gate 76…” Inuyasha grumbled and then realized that he might miss his flight. “Damn! You wouldn’t happen to know where the gate is would you?!” he demanded. Kagome gave him a flat look and pointed straight up.
Inuyasha looked up and saw that they were right under the sign that said in bold print “GATE 76” Inuyasha scoffed and looked away. “Whatever…” he picked up his suitcase and began to walk to the lady that would assist him with his bags.
Kagome followed much to Inuyasha’s surprise. When they boarded the plane they found out that their seats were right next to each other. They sat down, not saying a word to each other.
Kagome pulled out a book from her bag and then stowed it away in the compartment above the seat. She began to read while Inuyasha watched her curiously. After about a half hour of reading Kagome gulped and glanced at Inuyasha who was STILL watching her.
“Why are you staring at me?” she asked, the pounding in her ears from the elevation of the plane making her talk a little louder than normal. Inuyasha smirked and tucked a stray strand of her hair behind her ear. Kagome blushed and tried to scoot away from him.
“Well I didn’t bring any carry on crap and you are entertaining to watch. Did you know you make faces while you read? You also lick your lips when you turn the page.” Inuyasha’s smirk turned more mischievous and Kagome’s cheeks heated up even more. “You’re pretty cute…I might even ask you out if you didn’t have your hair everywhere and wore contacts.” Inuyasha teased. Kagome glared.
“Well I don’t care about my hair or that I wear glasses, and the prospect of going on a date with a pig like you DEFINITELY isn’t tempting enough to make me change the way I look.” Kagome said sarcastically and went back to reading.
Inuyasha chuckled and went back to just watching her. This girl amused him beyond all reason. He was usually picky about who he would sleep with, but this girl, even though she looked unbelievably dorky he would consider actually giving her a DATE. That was a shocker for him at least…
Kagome refused him though and this only enticed him, he was only kidding about her needing to change her appearance. Inuyasha watched her read for a little bit and then decided to take a nap since it would be a LONG flight.
After several hours Kagome looked up from her book at the hanyou. She had felt his amber orbs leave her awhile ago and was a little disappointed by it for some reason.
Kagome saw him leaning comfortably in his chair and a quiet snore was coming through his parted lips. Kagome’s eyes strayed to his lips and she ducked her head. They looked soft yet firm, she wondered if they tasted good too.
Kagome shook her head violently and stuck her nose back in her book. After an hour of pretending to read while in actuality thinking about the hot hanyou next to her, she fell asleep.
She felt that they were on ground again and she jerked awake immediately. The flight attendant was waving some of the last passengers off and Kagome gasped. She looked to the seat beside her and saw the hanyou was gone. Kagome sighed sadly then went to get her luggage from the compartment when she noticed something in her book. It looked like a bookmark and when she removed it she found that it was a simple piece of paper with a note on it.
-Rise and Shine sleepy head!
When the plane landed I found you were asleep, I was going to wake you up in a very interesting way (wink) but I decided that you might not appreciate that. In any case here’s my number. Call me kitten.
-Inuyasha
(782) 641-7838
P.S.- You’re even cuter when you sleep
Kagome blushed crimson and darted off the plane with her luggage. ‘What a strange guy! No one’s ever hit on ME before…probably a playboy thinking I would be an easy lay!’ Kagome thought with a huff as she marched out of the terminal. She subconsciously looked around for the hanyou but didn’t see him. ‘I don’t WANT to see him. He’s probably a walking STD!’ Kagome said to herself, even though in the end she didn’t even believe herself.
“Maybe…I’ll call him after the funeral…” Kagome whispered pocketing the piece of paper.
She caught a cab just as it began to rain lightly. Kagome stared out the window as the cab sat in the usual bumper to bumper traffic of New York City.
“I can’t believe it’s been 15 years since I lived here…” Kagome whispered. She wouldn’t have to go through all the legal work to live in America since she was technically a citizen already. Her father was born here as well and married her mother, a Japanese citizen. She was born in America but her mother had to return to Japan when she was only 4 and Grandpa had gotten sick. She moved to Japan with her mother and weird enough about 9 months later her brother Souta was born. She never got to see her dad, though she didn’t know why.
Now her father was dead, and again she didn’t know why. She got a letter from her father’s lawyer saying that someone had to come to the funeral to claim the inheritance. Her brother was still in high school so she decided to go. Her mother had to stay home with Souta and Jii-chan even though she really wanted to attend the funeral and get some answers concerning her husband’s death.
Kagome didn’t know anything about her father, when she would ask her mother would lamely change the subject. Kagome removed the letter from a pocket in one of the suitcases and read it over again.
She had to go straight to the office of Myouga Garuko. Kagome felt the car stop and the driver announced the fee. She paid it and hauled her bags out of the car. She got inside the plain gray building as quick as she could, only getting a little wet.
When Kagome finally found the room labeled Myouga Garuko she knocked softly.
“Come in!” The voice of an elderly man called. Kagome opened the door and eased inside shyly. She saw a woman sitting at the desk and got really confused.
She approached the desk and saw a tiny flea that almost looked like a person sitting on the woman’s collar. Suddenly the flea spoke up at Kagome cheerfully. “Why hello there! You must be Kagome Higurashi!” Kagome nodded slowly and took a seat in one of the leather chairs across from the desk. “First of all, I am sorry for your loss, your father was a great man, I knew him well…”
Kagome blinked and pushed her glasses up her nose. “Then can you tell me how he died exactly?” Kagome asked. The flea was silent for a minute then spoke again.
“NOW! In regards to his will, you have inherited the most in fact so it is good that you decided to come all the way here. My secretary will hand you the papers…” Myouga said and the woman he was sitting on reached out and slid the papers to Kagome who took them and began to read through them at an alarming speed.
Myouga watched as she seemed to merely scan the document but in actuality was reading the whole thing. “It says I’ve inherited some kind of…magic shop?” Kagome questioned, very confused. Myouga made a sound of agreement. “All the money in his account will be split three ways between Mom, me, and Souta…I inherit the magic shop cause I’m the eldest…hmm…it mentions some other relative here in New York…Do you know anything about him?” asked Kagome holding up the papers. Myouga looked perplexed and shook his head.
Kagome sighed softly and scanned the papers once more. “Well…until I can decide what to do with the shop I might as well stick around, it says there is a house above the shop? That was where my dad lived…?” At Myouga’s nod Kagome stood. “Okay…I’ll go there, if you need to contact me just call the shop, I’m sure you have the number. Good Bye sir.” Kagome departed quickly. She just wanted to get some sleep.
Kagome stood in the rain, staring up at the gloomy looking hole in the wall that was called Rhaimon. ‘Strange name…’ Kagome thought. Kagome grabbed her bags and jogged to the door; she pushed it open and peered inside.
The shop didn’t look like the common magic shop in Kagome’s opinion. This one looked…authentic. The ones she usually saw looked so fake and artificial; bright packaging, smoke machines, cheap trinkets that break within three days and books on how to do card tricks. That was what Kagome was used to but this was much different.
The room was lit with mainly candles and there were a few lanterns hanging on the walls. The room was lined on all four walls with book shelves filled with old tombs that looked like they would turn to dust at any minute. Cob webs hung in random corners in the room and there were two crystal balls that had some kind of smoky substance within. In the viewing glass area inside the counter there were many different wands, all cushioned tenderly. Strange baubles spin and creak on the tables in the room and some made strange lights and gave off noises that sorta sounded like people talking.
Kagome stepped in and idly ran her finger across the wooden surface of a table, a thick layer of dust forming on her digit. Kagome moved to a table that was set up with several candles and had a wand on it, lying on top of what looked like a map. Also, there was a strange necklace with a crystal pendent.
“I wouldn’t touch that miss!” a tiny voice squeaked and Kagome jumped in alarm, she had only been reaching toward the wand. Kagome looked around and spotted what looked like a mouse, but this was different. This mouse was rather well dressed and stood up right like a human. He had a friendly smile and wore what looked like a tiny business suit.
Kagome’s eyes widened and she jumped back in alarm. “Wha?!” she squeaked and poked the mouse creature curiously. “Are you a mouse?” asked Kagome. The thing rolled it’s eyes.
“No No Miss, I am a brownie.” Said the creature. “My name is Nim how may I assist you today with your shopping?”
Suddenly a light feminine laughter filled the room and the brownie and human turned to see a tall woman coming down a spiral staircase that was difficult to see with the large book cases everywhere. The woman was attractive but not young; she looked to be in her mid 40’s. She had long black hair that had lost its deep darkness with age. It was in a long braid that went to her legs. Her unruly bangs covered most of her face but her sapphire eyes shined down at Kagome. She had a black crescent moon shaped tattoo on her left cheek. She wore thick, long black robes with diamond jewel sewn in beautiful patterns.
The woman came down and walked right up to Kagome, she wasn’t much taller than Kagome. “Hello! You don’t look like any of my usual customers…just getting into witchcraft?” she asked.
Kagome raised an eyebrow at the woman. “You mean…this stuff…” she waved around at everything in the store. “It’s…real?”
“Of course!” the woman laughed friendly, her eyes twinkled with youth. “You don’t dress much like the usual goth-type children that come in…but…I can sense that you have serious talent…are you related to…” the woman trailed off and she gasped. A wide grin spread on her face and she suddenly swooped Kagome into a bear hug. “KAGOME! It’s been so long since I’ve seen you!” the woman laughed and began to spin around with Kagome in her arms.
Kagome was slightly dizzy when she was set back down. “You…know me?”
“Of course! I’m your aunt! Trinity!” she said her arms out stretched.
“…Trinity?...you’re my dad’s sister?” Trinity nodded and Kagome looked up at her seriously. “Then you can tell me how he died…?” Trinity’s smile temporarily faltered but then it came back full force.
“You must be here to stay right? Me and your father co-owned this shop so now that makes you my partner in crime!” Trinity said mischievously. Kagome opened her mouth to object to the change in subject but was cut off by Trinity grabbing her suitcase and dragging it toward the staircase that obviously led to the office and home upstairs.
Kagome let out a large breath and looked down at the only other person in the room. Nim looked up at her pityingly. “Don’t worry…you’ll get used to her soon enough! Glad you’ll be staying!” The brownie hopped off the table and walked along the floor towards what looked almost like a bird house lodged in the corner of the bottom shelf of one of the huge book shelves. The brownie climbed inside and Kagome shook her head slowly.
“Things are getting really weird really fast…” she whispered.
A/N: Okay! Anyone who recognizes some of the things in this story from this other writer name Danielle DO NOT BE ALARMED! I have her permission to use this stuff! (Trinity, and later the lo techs and this whole idea for a fic in general) she says I can write it so don’t worry! Anyway! Tell me what you think of the beginning of the story!
