The Miko's Tale
FLASHBACK
"Ha'ri-nii-tan! Where are you going?" Asked a tiny, raven haired, blue-eyed 5 year old little girl. A teenage boy, ' Ha'ri, ' bent down, resting his hand upon the child's head.
"Kagome-chan... Gure-nii, Aya-nii and I are moving to Okinawa, under Akito's order." the little girl looked into his purple eyes, her blue ones filled with unshed tears. The duo, along with 2 other 12 year olds and a handful of adults, stood there in the sandbox on that sunny summer afternoon. The three teens were saying goodbye to the child, although it was the hardest thing they had ever done.
"You're leaving...?" the girl asked, tears beginning to roll down her chubby child cheeks. A boy, 'Aya-nii',walked over to the child, and wiped away her tears.
"Shh... It's okay Kagome. We'll see you again someday, we promise." The other boy, 'Gure-nii', walked over as well. The girl sniffled.
"Promise? Pinky Promise?" she asked. The three teens smiled, each holding out their pinkies.
"Pinky Promise." They all said at the same time, locking pinkies with the tiny girl. She wrapped her arms around them, hugging them tightly.
"I love you, Aya-nii-tan, Gure-nii-tan, Ha'ri-nii-tan."
All three of said boys smiled warmly and said together, "We love you too, Kagome-chan."
They stayed in that warm position until a rough voice called to the three teens.
"Ayame, Shigure, Hatori, it's time to leave." the male voice barked. They released the girl, regretfully walking away. They all glanced back over their shoulders as they left their little friend there alone in the sandbox, as well as leaving their home, Tokyo, just to fulfill Akito's stupid wishes. the girl now known as Kagome, burst into tears after the group was out of sight.
END FLASHBACK
Kagome woke up from her dream of the past."What an odd time to remember that... Though, I suppose it makes sense." she stated bluntly, before remembering that today was the day. She smiled, and got up Today she was moving to Okinawa. As it just so happens, she was offered a scholarship at the school there, Kaibara High. She had by far the bast grades at her crappy school, but it was still an honor to get a scholarship.
As it just so happens, Okinawa happens to be the place that her three older brothers moved 12 years ago. And today, finally, she was taking a train there. All of her belongings were boxed up and ready to go, and so was she. She rushed out of her room in her family's shrine, and into the kitchen. There her mother was preparing her younger brother Souta's lunch for school. "Oh, good morning Kagome. Are you ready?" her mother asked as Kagome scarfed down a bowl of cereal. The girl nodded, before shoving her bowl in the sink and running upstairs to change.
She put on a white summer dress, her white high heeled sandals, and a sun hat. Then she began to load all of her boxes into her mothers car. Her mother was going to drive all of her belongings out the while she took the train. ."Kagome, if you don't want to be late, you better start running!" her mother stated. She agreed, but said goodbye to her grandfather and brother before she left. But then she took off running toward the train station, ticket in hand.
Along the way, he ticket must have slipped out of her hand, and she was afraid she would not be able to get on the train. But a nice girl with blond hair smuggled her in the train with her. They got into their car, and the blonde girl introduced herself. "I'm Arisa Uotani, but my friends call me Uo. You are?" she said frankly.
"Uh, Kagome Higurashi, but everyone calls me Kagome." She smiled, and shook Uo's extended hand.
"So, why are you going to Okinawa, Kagome? I came here to visit my grandparents, and now heading back for school." Kagome nodded.
"I got a scholarship to Kaibara High School, and am moving there. I'm also hoping to run into some old friends." She smiled sadly, thinking of the three boys which were now in their 20s.
"Oh, really? That's the high school me and my two best friends Tohru and Hana go. Want us to give you the tour on the first day?" Kagome smiled and nodded furiously.
And so the two talked for the long trip to Okinawa. When they finally arrived, Uo led Kagome to her two friends, and introduced them. There was Tohru Honda, and Saki Hanajima. The three of them got along fabulously. There was one boy Kagome was weary of, though. Yuki Sohma. His aura felt... Off, yet strangely familiar.
She'd have to look into it.
