It was a beautiful, misty morning. The wind blew a small comforting breeze, sending warmth to everything it touched. Colored butterflies danced in the air, as wild birds flew around and played near a tall, old tree. Near the old, strong tree, was a small wooden well.
"Kagome! Wake up!" Mrs. Higurashi yelled up the wooden stairs of her newly painted house.
- In Kagome's bedroom -
"Ugh." Kagome groaned, her face still snuggled against the fluffy pillow she slept on. "What is it now?" She mumbled to herself as she slowly and lazily lifted her head up and off from her pillow. Kagome slowly pushed the blankets off from her slim body, and sat up rubbing her eyes in the process.
Knock, knock+
Kagome turned her head towards her white bedroom door.
"Who is it?" She sleepily asked, staring at the closed door.
"It's mom." Her mother replied in a soft voice, which you could barely hear from the otherside of the door.
"Come in." Kagome said as she took a deep sigh on her white blanket covered bed.
Mrs.Higurashi slowly opened the door, and entered her daughters tidied room.
"Still in bed?" She asked sitting by her daughters side.
Kagome looked at her mother, and gave her a small, tired smile.
"Yup." She simply replied. Kagome looked at the clock, which was flashing the time, 6:13. "Why wake me up so early on a Saturday?" Kagome asked arching her back, while she stretched her arms out infront of her.
"Don't you remember what I told you yesterday?" Her mother asked as she started to make Kagome's bed, even though Kagome was still on it.
Kagome watched her mother as she started to fix the white blankets on her bed.
"Ummm...not really." She simply replied, hugging one of her bare legs against her chest.
Her mother fluffed her pillow up, then set it neatly down back at the head of the bed.
"We have to pick you're cousin up." Her mother said as she looked at her daughter. "Remember?" She asked her, seeing eye to eye.
Kagome searched back in her thoughts.
- Flashback -
"So, wait, what?" She asked.
"You're grandfather died, and now I am responsible for his grandaughter, which also happens to be my neice." Her mother simply answered, as she put the dirty clothes into the washer. "So...you and I will be going to the subway to pick her up tomorrow. You're cousin that is."
Kagome watched as her mother did the laundry. Putting a batch of clothes into the dryer, then turning it on.
"Which...cousin?" She curiously asked.
Her mother finished loading the laundry, and closed the washer, turning it on.
"Well, the only cousin you have." She said slowly turning around to face her daughter.
Kagome slightly tilted her head.
"And who might that be?" Kagome questioned.
Her mother looked at her with a smile.
"Rei Hino."
- End of Flash back-
"Hino Rei." The girl with dark raiven hair said, as the silver subway bus zoomed past behind her. She stuck her slim hand out to shake the other girls hand.
"Higurashi Kagome." Kagome replied, gently shaking her cousin's hand. For a mere moment, both girls just stared each other in the eyes. They didn't know what, but...both felt a strong connection between the two. And they didn't know what it was.
"I'm glad to finally meet you." Kagome's mother suprisingly said with joy, as she gave her neice a nice welcoming hug.
Rei smiled as she was embraced by her aunt. Oh how she wished to feel herself in her mothers arms. Just once, would be enough to last a lifetime. Everyone had left her now. Her mother...her father, and along with him Kaidou... and now...her grandfather. And now...she was by herself...no friends...no one. Well, except for her cousin's and her aunt. But, she barely know's them.
The two pulled away from the hug.
Kagome's mom had her hand's on her cousin's shoulders. Mrs. Higurashi looked at Rei, and studied her, with a smile.
"You have grown, beautifully." She said with a smile.
Rei smiled genuinely.
Mrs. Higurashi helped Rei with her luggage, along with Kagome. Then the three headed out of the crowded subway, and started back to the Higurashi residence.
- At the Higurashi home -
Mrs. Higurashi turned off the car, while Kagome and Rei slowly opened the back doors of the vehicle. Kagome's mom popped the trunk open, so that they could get all of Rei's belongings in the house.
Rei took a sigh, and looked at the fairly large sized house, which she would be soon to call, home.
"Need any help?" Kagome asked Rei, as she walked up beside her at the back of the car.
Rei faced her cousin, and smiled weakly.
"...sure." She said with appreciation.
Kagome took two black medium sized suitcases while Rei took two as well.
"Ready?" Mrs. Higurashi asked, as she closed the trunk of the car.
The wind blew softly, making the green grass dance and helping the tall tree create its own melody.
Rei looked up to the baby blue sky, to find a hawk floating above them in the air.
"Rei?" She heard her cousin say her name.
Rei slowly brought her attention back to her relatives. She nodded her head with a small smile.
"Ready." She replied.
The three woman walked on the cement walkway, up to the brown wooden front door.
Mrs. Higurashi's keys jingled as she unlocked the door with her house key. She pushed the fairly light door open, and stood out of the way, to let Rei and her daughter enter the house first.
Rei slowly entered the quiet house, and looked at her surroundings. She saw a large living room to her right, and a kitchen to her left, with a staircase straight ahead of her.
"Welcome home." Mrs. Higurashi softly with a smile.
Rei slightly glanced behind her shoulder.
"Yeah." She said with a smile, before she faced the front again. "Home." she whispered.
