Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction / InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Year One ❯ Confiding in a Brother ( Chapter 6 )

"How did your shopping go?" Mrs. Higurashi asked as her daughter entered the shrine.

"Fine. Got to go pack. Bye!" Kagome said in a rush as she hurried up the stairs.

"I think I covered that well." Kagome said to Shinto as she reached her room.

Keiro had already flown up to her room with Shinto and come bags in her claws.

"Shall we learn our history, first?" Kagome asked as she pulled out 'Hogwarts, A History' from one of her bags.

She lay back on her bed, leaning against the headboard, Keiro on her shoulder and Shinto on her lap. She could almost say that they were reading with her.

"Hey Kurama! Hiei! Where have you been?" Yusuke asked as he ran up to them.

"Around." was all Kurama gave away.

"Then how come we couldn't find you?" Kuwabara asked.

"Can you even see?" Hiei asked rudely.

"What's with the bags?" Yusuke asked before Kuwabara could exclaim on his 'Great Kuwabara Vision'.

"It's our new school supplies." Kurama replied.

"Shorty? In school? Don't make me laugh." Kuwabara said.

"What school?" Yusuke asked.

"Why?" Kurama asked, confused that Yusuke of all people would ask about school.

"I'm bored. REALLY bored." Yusuke said.

Kurama shook his head knowingly.

"Of course. Why ever else?" he said.

Yusuke shrugged. "What do you want to do?" he asked.

"Go put this stuff in my room. Coming Hiei?" Kurama asked as he walked away.

Hiei snorted but followed with his own bags.

"I don't think we should tell anyone about being wizards or Hogwarts or anything. It doesn't seem like a good idea." Kurama said once they were far enough away. "Do you agree?"

Hiei snorted, but didn't answer.

Kurama knew he had nothing to worry about. Hiei hardly talked as it is.

"I'm really sorry, Sango! I have to transfer schools." Kagome said into the phone that had her best friend Sango on the other end.

"I have to, too! That's no fair! Do you think we're transferring to the same school?" Sango asked.

"I seriously doubt it. I mean, do you know how many schools there are around here?" Kagome said, bringing both friends back to reality.

"That's true. Kagome-chan, I'm gong to miss you You'll be back for next summer, though, right?" Sango said disappointed.

"Yup. I guess I'll see you then." Kagome sighed.

"Yup. Bye."

"Bye."

Kagome hung up. She was really going to miss her friend Sango, no matter how great Hogwarts sounded from her book.

"Hey Keiro. Do you deliver?" Kagome asked suddenly.

Keiro blinked at her and hooted.

"I'll take that as a yes. Let's see how good you are." Kagome said.

She wrote on a piece of parchment, rolled it up, than tied it on Keiro's leg.

"Can you deliver this to Suichi, please? You know, the red headed one?" Kagome said, not feeling at all embarrassed or ridiculous at talking to an owl.

Keiro hooted and flew off.

"I wonder what people will think if they see him..." Kagome thought out loud.

"Kagome? What is a FOX doing in your room?" Souta asked.

"Souta? What are you doing in my room?" Kagome asked dangerously.

"I just wanted to see your new stuff. You got a FOX?" Souta asked amazed.

"Shh, be quiet. Come in and close the door." Kagome whispered.

"What are you doing with a fox?" Souta whispered as he closed the door.

"She's my new pet. Her name is Shinto." Kagome said.

"How did you get her?" Souta asked. Shinto climbed onto his shoulder and put her paws on his head.

"I bought her."

"You just went to a pet store and bought her?"

"Well... I'll start from the beginning. It all started when I got this letter-" Kagome showed her little brother the letter.

(After she finished)

"Wow. I have a witch as a sister." Souta said in awe.

"Shhh. I don't want Mom to find out." Kagome told him.

"Ok. Your secret is safe with me." Souta said as he got up from his place he was sitting on her bed.

"Good. Now you know where I'm going. And now we can write!" Kagome said.

"How?" Souta asked.

"I bought Keiro, remember? I'm thinking she can deliver letters and stuff back and forth." Kagome said.

"Oh, I see. And just how are you planning to keep this a secret from Mom and Ji-san?" Souta asked his older sister.

"Uh, I haven't completely figured that out yet, but I'll think of something!" Kagome said happily as Souta sweat dropped.

"Good luck with that. When do you leave?" Souta asked.

"Day after tomorrow. I want to finish most of my text books, too. I don't want to be behind in my classes." Kagome sighed.

"What classes do you have? I bet they're much better than ours.

"Transfiguration, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Herbology, Astronomy, Potions, History of Magic, Care of Magical Creatures, Astronomy, and Charms." Kagome recited.

"Cool! Wish I could go. Promise to teach me some stuff during summer?" Souta pleaded.

"Ok, I'll try. I wonder if you could send me the Muggle work, too. I want to keep up in this world." Kagome said.

"Sure. I'll copy your friends' work. I hear Mom calling. Bye! I won't speak a word of this!" Souta said and rushed out of the room.

Kagome sighed.

"I hope this will all work out." she said as she absentmindedly petted Shinto.

Shinto just lay in her lap, enjoying the attention.
