The Shadow Heroes

Chapter 2: A New Home

A few hours have passed since Kagome moved to the Capsule Corp with Bulma and the rest of her family. So right now, she was eating dinner with the Brief Family, especially Bulma's husband and son, Vegeta and Trunks. Kagome was a bit shy as she gazed at them, trying her best to stay calm while eating dinner. Trunks also couldn't help but stare at Kagome with a curious look. Vegeta glared a bit while staring at her as well. He wasn't interested in her. He was just being curious. Also, Kagome has already met Dr. Brief and Panchy before having dinner. Dr. Brief was very curious about her and especially became very interesting in her. She looked way more beautiful than Panchy, which Bulma didn't like ever, Bulma made sure that her dad doesn't get too close to Kagome.

While this was going on, Vegeta broke the silence while everyone was eating dinner, "So, woman, what brings you here?"

"It's complicated. I got lost in the city and don't know where I live." Kagome told him.

"I see. Where are you from?" Vegeta questioned her.

"Tokyo, Japan." She said.

"Tokyo, Japan? Never heard of it." Vegeta replied in a stern voice that made Kagome frown.

"Forgive me, Kagome, but as you can know that my husband is from another planet called Planet Vegeta. So to let you know that he is the Prince of all Saiyans." Bulma said with a sweatdrop and a look.

"Don't push it, Bulma." Vegeta snapped, glaring at her in annoyance.

"Oh, come on, Vegeta. It's not like I'm telling people about you." Bulma scolded him.

He scoffed in response.

Geez, what a rude bastard, Kagome thought, glaring at him.

Then Trunks interrupted, "Um, excuse me, miss, I want to ask you something. No weird questions."

Kagome smiled at the boy. "Sure, you can ask me."

"What kind of Tokyo are you from?" He asked.

"Tokyo is the place of Japan’s busy capital, mixes the ultramodern and the traditional, from neon-lit skyscrapers to historic temples. The opulent Meiji Shinto Shrine is known for its towering gate and surrounding woods. The Imperial Palace sits amid large public gardens. The city's many museums offer exhibits ranging from classical art in the Tokyo National Museum to a reconstructed kabuki theater in the Edo-Tokyo Museum. They also have buildings like West City as well."

"Cool!" Trunks exclaimed, "I wanna see it one day!"

"You'll see it one day," Kagome said.

"So if you're from Tokyo, do your parents know where you are?" Bulma asked.

"Unfortunately, I didn't tell them, but I have my mom's phone and I was wondering if I could use your phone. I didn't have a phone." Kagome said, smiling nervously with a sweatdrop and an embarrassed look on her face.

"Sure, honey. I have plenty of phones. I'll give you a new phone one day. I'll let you use mine." Bulma said.

Kagome smiled. "Thanks, Bulma."

"Why do you need a phone for?" Vegeta asked.

"To call my mom. To tell her where I was." Kagome told him. Although Vegeta reminded her of Inuyasha every time he kept asking her some questions.

"Hn," Vegeta replied.

"Ignore Vegeta, Kagome. He's been grumpy lately." Bulma suggested her.

Kagome nodded, "Okay."

After the dinner, Kagome was in another room with Bulma while dialing the number and waiting. It took several rings before her mother answered the phone.
