Friendly Intentions:
Chapter One:
Results
“Yes!”
The cry rang throughout the empty halls, startling a few
wandering teachers.
“Is everything all right, Kagome?” A girl with short hair asked.
“Yeah, we heard you scream are you all right?” Another girl asked.
“Oh Yuka, Eri, everything’s wonderful!” The girl Kagome smiled, her brown eyes
alight with happiness.
“Why, what happened?
Did you finally break up with that two-timing punk?” Eri asked.
Kagome sighed, they asked her this almost everyday. Just as she was about to give them a piece
of her mind, a new voice found its way into their ears.
“What Kagome-san and her boyfriend do is none of your
business.”
Turning around, Kagome half expected to see Kyo, a friend of
hers that had actually turned out to be a different friend. A female friend. Kyo had interrupted Yuka and Eri’s
interrogation in almost the same manner.
Coming up behind her with a stern look on his face, Kagome’s
friend Tora stood beside her, putting an arm around her shoulders. Yuka and Eri looked on disapprovingly, but
it was washed away once they looked at him.
Tora, or rather Kenkichi as was his real name, was about 6’
3” with brown hair that went to his mid back and was kept tied at the nape of
his neck.spanspan>His eyes were the color of
jade, which was the reason why he was also called Jade Tiger, the name he’d
adopted as an assassin.
That’s right, an assassin. As in someone who kills other people.
Currently ranked as the number two assassin in all of Asia,
Tora was quick to strike; however not with a weapon of cold, hardened
steel. The only weapon Tora needed was
his mouth and the ability to speak. He
was one of the most sarcastic people Kagome knew, and definitely the funniest.
But the title of most sarcastic went undeniably to Inu-Yasha.
“Kagome,” Eri began, her eyes wide, “who is this?”
They were probably a bit startled by Tora’s clothes, for he
was wearing khaki pants tied with a black martial arts belt and a thin white
shirt. He wore simple sandals, since
this was summer, and a bandana tied around his head to keep his unruly bangs in
place, having taken the idea from Kouga, yet another friend of Kagome’s.
Inwardly smiling at her friends, Kagome looked at them, “Who,
him? This is Kenkichi-kun.”
“Hi.” Both Eri and
Yuka said, their eyes twinkling.
“Yo.” Tora said
dismissively, hugging Kagome closer as Yuka and Eri fumed.
“What about Hojo-kun?!”
They exclaimed.
Kagome glared at them, “I’m not going out with him,
all right? How many times do I have to
tell you that? This had better be the
last time I have to tell you or else I’ll send him over here.”
The ‘him’ that Kagome referred to was Kyo. Both Yuka and Eri were afraid of him, but
masked it with distaste, as though he were a rotten fruit. Though it had been quite a while since Kyo
was last seen, the mere thought of him scared Eri and Yuka into silence.
In truth, Kyo had been Leota, Kagome’s best friend from when
she’d been a child. Leota had then
become Kaji, because of complications with her own body. Finally, Kaji became Usu-Venita, a
halfblooded wolf demon that had disappeared with Kouga, a full wolf demon that
lived in the Feudal Era, Kagome’s only sanctuary.
Oh, Venita, still known in her male form of Kyo in the modern
times, was also an assassin. The number
one assassin in all of Asia, to be exact.
It had literally been beaten into her that she become the best at
anything she attempted, and that philosophy still held true.
Kagome has some interesting friends, yes?
“Don’t worry yourself with them, Kagome-san,” Tora said
quietly in Kagome’s ear, yet loud enough for the girls to hear, “when we get
home, I’ll help you relax. That’s a
promise.”
The slack jawed girls known as Yuka and Eri blushed at what
they’d just heard.
“K-K-Kagome?” They
stammered.
Looking at them coolly, Kagome raised an eyebrow delicately,
“Yes?”
Seeing as how they’d been stunned into silence at the way
they’d been addressed, neither Eri nor Yuka could stutter a comprehensible
sentence. When they did not go on,
Kagome smiled up at Tora, wrapped an arm around his waist, and began walking
home with him.
As soon as they’d rounded a corner out of the watchful gaze
of her two still-speechless friends, Tora and Kagome had to stop. They had to stop. Both doubled over in absolute laughter,
tears spilling from their eyes.
When they’d calmed down a few minutes later, Kagome and Tora
held hands as they walked to the Higurashi Shrine, which was the place Kagome
lived. They had to keep up appearances
in case Yuka or Eri, mostly likely both, decided to follow them.
Climbing the seemingly endless steps of the shrine, Tora and
Kagome were both still smiling as they took off their shoes in the hallway
before entering the house.
“That was great, Kagome-san, we really have to keep doing
that. It’s great.” Tora said, wiping a stray tear from his eye.
“You’re a great actor when you want to be,” Kagome said,
turning to go to the kitchen, “Mom, Grandpa, Sota, I’m home!”
In her usual fashion of appearing as though from nowhere,
Mrs. Higurashi was suddenly in front of them, her irremovable smile still on
her face, “Welcome home, Kagome-chan.
Ah, I see you brought Tora-san with you. How was your day at school?”
Kagome held up the math test she’d studied for all last
night, “I got a B+ on my math test!”
“That’s wonderful news Kagome-chan! Give it to me and I’ll put it on the refrigerator for everyone to
see it.”
Happily handing over her test, Kagome couldn’t help but
smile. Her large yellow backpack sat on
the table, packed with a few things Kagome would need when she went to visit
the Feudal Era. Things like bandages,
soda, Ramen, a few sweets, Ramen, some spare clothes, Ramen, and a few other
things. Did she mention Ramen? In case she hadn’t, Kagome threw in another
bowl.
“Hey Kagome-san?”
Tora asked, eyeing the oven and taking a few sniffs.
“What’s the matter?”
“Do you think Venita-sama’s okay?”
Sighing, Kagome stopped trying to stuff her umbrella into the
already-stuffed bag, “I don’t know, Tora-kun.
Sometimes I find myself worrying more for Venita-sama than Kouga-kun.”
Tora nodded, “Yeah, it’s not her fault Lunia had to
screw stuff up. If Lunia had just
noticed the color of the moon, perhaps some of this could have been avoided?”
At Tora’s mentioning the color of the moon, Kagome began to
think, “Didn’t Kaede say that all demons from the Inside were affected by the
red moon?”
“Hai.” Tora said, a
smile creeping onto his face. Kagome
was a fast learner, this was good.
Kagome’s eyebrows met in the middle of her forehead in a
frown as her mind processed this information, “But wouldn’t that mean you
would have been affected by the moon?
And if that’s true, why weren’t you affected?”
A sly smile tugged at Tora’s lips as he looked towards
Kagome, “Why do you want to know?”
Sighing her frustration, Kagome began angrily, “Because Kaede
said all demons from the Inside are affected and you agreed! So I want to know how come you
didn’t!”
“Curious little thing, aren’t you?” Tora asked teasingly.
“Tora....”
Kagome let out what sounded like a growl to Tora’s ears, and
he decided to just answer her question before she pounced on him like a cat to
some unsuspecting squeaky toy.
“Hehe, I’m sorry Kagome, but I had to do it. You’re so much fun to tease.” Tora said, resting his right hand on the
back of his neck.
“Would you just get to the part where you explain
yourself?” Kagome demanded.
“All right, all right!
Keep your pants on!” Tora smiled, “The reason I didn’t become a
bloodthirsty maniac is because I have a cure from the bloodlust.”
“You have a..... cure for the bloodlust?” Kagome
began, her anger building, “So you could’ve helped Venita-sama?!”
Realizing the mistake he’d made, Tora held his hands up to
defend himself, “No, no, no! It can
only work on males, and more specifically, males from my family! If I could have helped, Kagome-san, I want
you to know that I would have, but I couldn’t!”
Calming herself to the point where she could breathe
normally, Kagome slumped into a chair.
Tora daringly stepped forward, not sure if she’d cut off a member of his
anatomy or just freeze him with a glare.
To his surprise, Kagome did neither of these things. She just stood up, grabbed her bag, and went
to find her mother, whom had disappeared as she too-often did.
“Mom?” She called,
trying to find her elusive mother.
“In here, Dear.” Mrs.
Higurashi called from the living room, rearranging a few things Sota had
misplaced while playing his video games.
“We’re gonna go, okay?”
“All right, Dear.
Tell everyone I said hi.” Mrs.
Higurashi said, waving her daughter off.
Smiling, Kagome turned on her heel and began walking towards
the Bone Eater’s well, Tora trudging behind her. She opened the doors and stepped inside, letting Tora close the
door as she went down the stairs and stood in front of the well.
“Is something the matter, Kagome-san?” Tora asked, still afraid she just might
purify him right there.
“No, Tora-kun, everything’s okay, I guess. I’m just worried about what’s going to
happen. Do you think Venita-sama will
ever visit us? Do you think she even
remembers who we are?”
Tora couldn’t help but smile, “I think, Kagome-san, what you
mean to say is will she remember you.
Not to make you sound selfish or anything, but that is what you
meant to say isn’t it?”
Sighing again, Kagome nodded, “Yes, that’s exactly what I was
thinking. Well, do you think she’ll
come?”
“I really don’t know, Kagome-san, the only one who could tell
you that is the one in question. Only
Venita-sama could tell you, but by the time she did, she’d already be there,
thus answering your question.”
Kagome looked down at the well, placing her hands on it and
taking a deep breath, “Tora?”
“Hm?”
“How can you use the well?”
“I don’t know. I
really don’t tend to question stuff like that.
Whenever something works, I’m happy,” Tora answered simply, “besides,
Kagome-san, I know you want to jump into that well and see if Inu-Yasha is
waiting for you.”
Kagome turned to face him, “What?”
He chuckled, “Your love for him is extremely obvious,
Kagome. You get as happy to see him as
you did for that B+ on that test. And if
you’re wondering how I know that, well, I’ll tell you: I have spent quite
awhile observing you two. The results
of my observations stand as previously stated.
You’re in love, Kagome. And
Venita knows it.”
“So?”
Tora had to smile at her naïveté, “Kagome, Kagome; now that
Venita is happy and with a Mate...well....”
“What? ‘Well’ what?”
Shrugging, Tora decided to be as blunt as he could, “You want
it simply put, Kagome?”
“Yes.”
“You’re next.”
A/n: At last! The first chapter to (hopefully)
