"Kagome!"
"Aiya~! Touta, why are you yelling?!" A girl with wavy black hair glared at her door just as it was thrown open. "What are you wearing you dork!" She stood up and chased the man at her door out of her room before slamming it shut. "WEIRDO BROTHER!"
A soft chuckle came from the other side of the door, "Can you help, and I have a huge meeting today!"
"Hm?" Kagome opened the door and look curiously at her older brother, half-brother. His black hair was brushed neatly to the nape of his neck, and his brown eyes were doing that shaking thing. He was giving her pleading looks with her eyes again. "Geeze...you're the Fashionista in this house, not me."
"...please..."
Kagome finally conceded, her blue eyes trailing down what he wore with a frown, "First...let's get you some pants, you can fill me in on this huge meeting while I help you, my older brother, get dressed."
"Come on Kagome, don't say it like that. You know I get nervous and all tangled up when something big happens!"
Kagome nodded her head as she raided his closet, "So what's this huge meeting?"
"It's...well, it's Interpol..."
Kagome stopped her movements and faced her brother, a hanger held in her hand as she pulled it from the closet. "Interpol...so...I.C.P.O, huh? They don't gather normally unless it's really important. Only the best are invited to these meetings. The NPA is very exclusive as to who they consider trustworthy or suitable as a Detective fit to accompany the best detectives and officers of the law to an Interpol meeting..."
"I know, and I'm going!"
"Yeah...that's my point. Why you...you are such a klutzy and naïve detective..."
"HEY!"
Kagome smiled, pulling a bluish gray suit from the shelf before she handed it to her brother, "I was just kidding Touta; you are a very bright Detective...when you want to be, but you have to be smart all the time. I want you to show those detective's that you can be right up there with the best of them. I mean..." Kagome grinned, "You're the sharpest shooter I know, why not add some intellect to those sharp eyes of yours and make it a killer combination?"
Touta laughed, "Right...a killer combination. I don't fit the appellation."
"OOOH!'
"What?"
Kagome laughed, pulling a red tie from a wire hanger, "That was a big word you used there, bro!"
"You're making fun of me!"
"Of course...now, get dressed!" She ran out of his closet and out of his room, tossing his tie on his bed before shutting the door behind him.
Kagome sighed, returning to her room, she walked quietly down the hallway as she thought back to the day she'd come to live with her half-brother.

"Grandpa, I'm worried about Kagome...It's been a year...but..."
"Rai, be patient. She lost all of her family from the Feudal Era. She just needs space."
Rai sighed, "I called Hatsue...he offered to take Kagome in for a couple weeks...to let her escape the shrine for a while."
"Are you sure that's okay? What about his son? What about Kagome? What about you?"
"For my daughter, I would crawl to the ends of the world to help her find peace of mind. As for his son, he's twenty-one...I do believe he's in To-Oh University...he's a good boy, and Hatsue said it was a great opportunity for the two to finally meet. He's right...they are half-siblings...after all."
Grandpa nodded, "I will talk to Kagome tonight then; you go and rest."
Rai gave a small nod. Neither was aware of the girl sitting upstairs around the corner, listening aptly to the two talk about her. Kagome sighed, standing up; Buyo followed her to her room where she fell back on her bed.
"I'm causing trouble again..."

Kagome looked up at the house she'd be staying in for the next couple of days or so. Until she was 'ready' to go back home, they'd said. She was sure she wouldn't like it there, but she would stay for a little bit, to ease her mother, brother and grandfather of their worrying.
"You are Kagome...right?"
She turned to see a boy a head taller than herself standing behind her with a surprised look on his face and a bag over his shoulder. "Touta?"
He nodded, a bright smile formed on his face as he ran up closer to her, "You are my sister! Dad's told me all sorts of things about you! Come on!" He took her bag and ran up the steps to the front door of his house. Kagome of course moved to keep up, getting the door for him which caught him off guard. "Wow, you're fast!"
"...I...was in track." Kagome sighed, 'Not a complete lie...but I'm sure telling him that I spent a year running away from demons and developed a large amount of stamina and speed would be a bit unorthodox.'
"I'm in track too! Oh, but it's actually more of a requirement. I'm trying to get in to the NPA." He smiled as he placed her bags at the staircase inside the house, guiding her in with a welcoming smile. "I want to be the world's greatest cop...I want to make a difference in the world!"
Kagome looked at him and smiled, "Me too...I want to make a difference..."

"Are you sure, Kagome?"
Kagome smiled from her side of the phone, "Yeah, Hatsue has already said he would be more than happy for me to stay, and Touta is awesome! He's going to To-Oh to be a detective! I decided I want to follow that path...I want to be able to be of use to this world once again...I want to help."
"...I understand, we will have your things moved to Hatsue's house."
Kagome sighed in relief, "Thanks mom,"

Everything had been going great. Kagome and Touta had become the closest of siblings, and he was always set to helping her if she had questions, and he too would confer with her on a curious matter that he couldn't understand. He was a twenty-three now, a year away from graduation, and ecstatic. His father was proud of him too. Kagome was only recently turned eighteen, and was getting close to the end of her own school year. However, happiness was one of those things that lasted just about as long as chocolate did.
A car accident, a drunk driver...running a red light...it was all so fast... Touta and Kagome were left fatherless in an instant. However, even after being called on to return by her mother, she chose to stay with her older brother. She'd grown close to him...she wasn't about to leave him alone. Not after that, not like this. She knew what it felt like to lose someone important to you, and then feel as if no one understood or was there to support you. She would be his support.

Kagome sighed, grabbing her bag; she made her way out of the house and towards school. Today was going to be a boring day.
