Ch1: A New Adventure.

It was a sunny day, a day when people should have been happy to play in the streets or go to the mall with their friends. Something she herself would have normally been doing on a Saturday…but not anymore. The girls she would have spent hours shopping with would probably never see her again. She was already in the other side of the country! The truth was, it wasn't comforting to leave the small town she had lived in her whole life, the people she had know since Kindergarten, and start anew in a city. And not just any city…TOKYO! They were moving to a huge city, and she would be starting high school in only two days. She was leaving her past life, her old house, her friends...and starting anew in a large and intimidating city. It scared her.

Her name was Kagome. Her life was now hours behind her, and all she had was the stuff she had that was IN her old house. None of the memories that she had lived, the living room where she had played with her brother when they were little, or her bedroom she had been in since birth, where she spent hours hanging with her friends, talking on the phone and having sleepovers. No…none of that was coming with her. Only items can be moved into a new house, not living memories.

Her mother glanced over at her, noticing her daughters sad and distant expression. "Oh, Kagome. Could you please try and cheer up? You knew we were going to move for almost a year."

"Yea…" Kagome murmured quietly, still looking out the window at the tall buildings flying by.

Her mother sighed. "I do wish you would stop looking at this as a punishment. Moving is fun, it's a chance at a new lifestyle! Think about it, a whole new start, a chance to be whoever you want to be! It's a new Adventure! Trust me, I have a feeling you will thank me for this. You will love your grandfathers house, its absolutely stunning!" she rambled off, leaving Kagome to her thoughts. She still missed her old neighborhood, and the never ending flow of buildings didn't look warm and welcoming, but she was feeling a bit better. Her mom was right, she should give this place a chance. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad. She looked over her shoulder at her brother, who was asleep in the back seat. He wasn't too upset when they heard they were moving…

"We're here!" her mother exclaimed happily, pulling the car off the busy highway and onto a dirt path.

Kagome stared. Now the seemingly endless chain of buildings flying past changed into trees 5 times larger then she had ever seen before! She stared out the window in awe…were they even Tokyo anymore? She had always been told Tokyo was nothing but City, and she had panicked when she heard they were moving there. But the trees were almost as intimidating as the buildings! Her old house had like 3 trees on the property! She didn't know this was possible.

She watched the trees for nearly a minute, feeling intimidated already. But, after seeing nothing BUT trees for a few minutes, she got bored and looked at the floor again. Then, a minute later the car stopped, and her mother cut the engine.

Kagome looked up and almost choked. This house was beautiful compared to her simple old town house! At that moment, she wasn't too sorry that she'd left it behind. This one looked a lot more Traditionally Japanese then the ones in her old town, which had adapted more of an American style. The porch and roof were painted and hand-carved with arches on the outside, a pool in the backyard and quaint little building off to the side. But the most obvious trait that this new home had was the trees…they were everywhere! Thousands and thousands of them, and they were EVERYWHERE! They were defiantly going to take some getting used to.

"Are we still in Tokyo?" she asked, baffled.

Her mother laughed. "Yes, that's what I thought at first, too. The city is right over there." She pointed to Kagome's left. Kagome turned around and was shocked to see the buildings and even a sidewalk through the trees, a little ways down a steep hill. At first she wondered how you could get there, but then she saw a huge staircase that lead all the way down to the sidewalk.

"Mom, where did you ever get the money for this…"

"I didn't silly, remember? We are living with your grandfather!"

Kagome already knew this, but was baffled all the same. "Where did HE get the money for this…" she muttered in awe.

"Kitoyo?"

Kagome's mother turned around, a wide grin on her face as she looked up at the old man standing on the porch. "Dad!" she said happily, running up to the porch and embracing him warmly. "It's so good to see you!"

The old man smiled at her. "Its good to see you too, sweaty!" he said, kissing her forehead lightly and pulling out of her hug. "And…Little Kags? All grown up?" he asked, surprise written all over his face. "What a beautiful young lady you've turned into. Come here!" chuckling joyfully, her walked over to the car and gave Kagome a big hug.

"Grandpa?" Kagome asked politely. She knew he was her grandfather-who else could he be?- but still she did not know him. It was like when your parents introduce you to a family member you have never met. You know who they are, but you still don't know them enough to be familiar, but you hug them anyways. That was how she felt. "Its good to see you too." She laughed when he didn't let go.

"Dad." Mrs. Higurashi scolded. "Let go of my daughter before you choke her!"

He chuckled, letting go of Kagome. "If you insist." He looked behind them. "I am going to go back to the shop now, so make yourselves at home, and make sure the movers don't damage anything." He chuckled again, then hobbled off towards one of the buildings.

"Mom, can I help yo..."

"Kagome, dear, why don't you go and explore the house. You haven't been here since you were two after all." her mother said, cutting her off. Once she said that she started humming happily, bustling away towards the movers.

Kagome shook her head sadly and decided to let it slide. Her mother was so odd sometimes. But nonetheless she began exploring the house, marveling at the beautiful wooden floors and stairs. The house wasn't exactly what you would call expensive, as she had first thought, but strangely beautiful. It was sort of quaint, but nice and bright-looking. She loved it! Heading up the wooden stairs, she headed into the first room that she immediately claimed as her own. She didn't have much time, however, as the movers began to walk by the door and carrying the furniture down the hall. Kagome giggled as she heard her mothers angry comments.

"Careful with that! It's not a freakin' tree!" her mother yelled at the large men as they came passed by. They ignored her and continued to lift the heavy furniture, grunting and cursing the whole way. "EXCUSE ME? This is very delicate! Can you try and do your job a little more gently?" she looked over at Kagome walking out of the room. "Do you like this room, Kagome?" She nodded. "Then its yours, dear. Souta can have the other room. After all, first come first serve. YOU OVER THERE! CAN YOU PLEASE LISTEN TO WHAT I SAY! I SAID TO PUT THAT IN THE KITCHEN, AND THAT IS THE BATHROOM! PLEASE BE CAREFUL, THAT'S MY BEST CHINA!"

As a sweat-drop made its way down her head, Kagome walked back to the front of the house and out onto the porch. She leaned against the railway where she could view the city, and sighed heavily.

"Do you guys really make a living doing this? Gorillas could do a better job!" Kagome stared behind her at her shouting mother mother: she must be really annoyed to be yelling at the movers like that, even if they were doing a bad job. With a smile Mrs. Higurashi transformed back into the sweet mommy she usually was when the movers walked out the door and got into their truck. "Finally! I thought they would never leave! How do you like the house sweaty?"

Kagome sighed, another sweat drop on her head. "Um...it's very nice."

Her mother glanced at her, a sad expression on her face. "Do you not like it? I thought you were happy with it…"

Kagome shook her head quickly, trying to make up for her mistake. "No, I didn't mean it like that! I love the house, its beautiful!"

Her mother smiled widely. "Oh, good! I hoped you would like it! Unfortunately, those morons left all the stuff all over the place." She tapped her lip thoughtfully. "I guess we will have to reposition everything ourselves." Kagome groaned, and her mom smiled at her. "Well, there's no time like the present! The sooner we start, the sooner we finish." Kagome sighed and followed her mother in. She should have expected this.

By the time they got all their things settled, the sun was starting to set. They had gotten there about 12:30 in the after noon and spent the day getting their rooms the way they wanted them. Kagome flopped onto her, FINALLY, made bed, empty boxes piled near the door, her closet filled with clothes, a computer on her desk near the T.V, a window near her bed, a white alarm clock with green blocky letters telling the time by a green lamp on her wooden night stand. On her ceiling was a square glass covering two light bulbs. Kagome had hung up some Japanese posters, some symbols and a few of her favorite pictures. Kagome grabbed a fuzzy blue pillow and rested her head on it, looking at her now finished room, her eyes falling on the window, where there was a beautiful bird sitting on the ledge.

Kagome watched it for a minute before it flew away. Getting off her bed, Kagome walked over to the large window to look for where it went, but she got distracted. The view she saw was utterly breath taking.

The window had the view of the entire two acre forest of rich shades of green. It stretched out until reaching the city, with its tiny houses and buildings. Lights were scattered among the city, preparing to explode in light once the sun was all the way down.

The sky was the most jaw-dropping. It looked like a painting…or better. The sun was resting on top of the twinkling city, the once cottony white clouds were now struck with vivid and iridescent streaks of scarlet, rose, orange, and tangerine. The sky held a faint hue of red and the mountain, clouds, the distant bay and the city held a breathtaking golden lining.

Kagome stood there and watched the sunset until the sky became dark with twilight, though there wasn't a star to be seen in the sky. The view was nice because the city lights became amplified and it glowed in the bleak darkness, but it wasn't as attention taking as the beautiful sunset. But it was so unlike what she was used to. Too many trees around her, while the tall buildings frightened her. It was so different, so scary. She wondered what this new city held for her, and her new school. That probably frightened her the most.

Sighing, Kagome left the window and changed into her pajama's, crawling into bed while pulling her soft covers close. She was too tired to turn out the lights. The clock read 9:58 but she didn't care: she had to help her mother in the morning and she was really tired. Kagome fell asleep quickly, wondering if her dream guy was in school with her. IF ONLY SHE KNEW THE HALF OF IT!

There ya go! Hope u enjoyed it!
