Chapter 5

Draconic Dilemma

When Kagome pulled into the small private parking lot behind
the shrine, and after parking her little Toyota car next to William's Ford Echo
that his grandfather gave him, she listened as Will opened the passengers door
and climbed out. Then lifting up the seat Ryuu bolted out with a happy yell.
She watched as the dragon youkai pulled off his concealing rosary, His hair
became a brilliant blue-green, the scales formed around his eyes and faded into
his skin which tool on a slight greenish ting, scales also formed at the nape
of the neck which spread out and down over his shoulders narrowing and going
down his back where a scaled tail sprouted out of his back side. Two curved horns
swept back over his head. Scales formed slightly on his arm, hands, legs, and
feet. She watched as he turned around grinning widely at her baring his stout
fangs.

"Hey Kago I think Asami-san's fixin Oden."

Kagome smiled as she slowly walked toward to stairs leading
up the back of the shrine, "Yeah I know." She watched as Ryuu dashed
up the steps where he sat down at the top. She thought back on what mom had
told her about Ryuu before he had come to live with them

*Flashback in italics*

"Kagome, dear, I
need to speak to you about something important."

She remembered her mom steering her into the den and sitting
her down on the Sofa.

"What is it
mom?"

"Remember my old
job with social services?"

Asami, at one time, was a counselor for social services and
specialized with kids and especially troubled teens. Kagome remembered how when
they had family outings she would always bring one or her "kids" as
every one called them, because most of these kids were from bad backgrounds and
might never have the chance to go to an amusement park or to the beach. One
time they even took one of the "kids" with them on vacation to
Europe.

"Yeah mom."

"Well tomorrow I
have to go pick up your new foster brother."

"Foster brother!?
When did you do this mom?"

"A few weeks ago
while you were in Feudal Japan. I sat down and talked with Souta and Ji-chan.
We all agreed to this and thought that you wouldn't care."

Kagome remembered sitting there and listening to what her
mom knew about Ryuu. At this time they didn't know that Ryuu was a youkai.
