Chapter 1 : Passing Time
'A year has passed since Naraku has died, everything finally gotten better. Demo...' Kagome sighed as she leans on her table.
"Why is my life filled with examinations!" Kagome shouted out, clearly annoyed as she then threwher notebooks, scattering the papers everywhere in her room. Then, trying to find away to get the tension out of her, Kagome then opened her window, looking out at the beautiful view of the city.
"Bakana!" Kagome screamed to the top of her lungs, as a flock of birds instantly flew off of Goshinboku.
"Kagome!" Kagome's mom called out from outside as Kagome turned to her. Her mom was wearing her usual outfit, happily waving at her.
"A relative will be moving in with us today. If it's alright with you can she stay with you in your room?" Kagome's mom asked as Kagome's face was filled with shock.
"Ne! Nandeyo!" she asked.
"Because she's your cousin and she's about the same age as you. Plus, she's also trying to get in Verebena High like you are" Kagome's mother explained as Kagome sighed, clearly having no choice but to agree with her.
"Hai hai" she sighed as Kagome's mother smiled cheerfully.
"Arigatou Kagome" she said as she then runs down the stairs, leading to the street.
"I guess I'll have to move everything I own to one side then" Kagome sighed as she then began to pick up the papers scattered everywhere.
As Kagome's mother reached the last step of the stairs, a girl with long, straight and black hair then stepped out of the cab, bringing with her two luggages.
"Irasshai (Welcome) Midori" Kagome's mother said sweetly as she helps the girl with her luggages.
"Arigatou, Hakubo-san (Aunt)" the girl, apparently named Midori, stated.
The girl was very quiet and shy like. She had hazel eyes and she seemed like a very serious person. She also had a black silky ribbon wrapped around her right arm. As she and Kagome's mother went up the stairs, Midori looked around, amazed at the vast space of the shrine.
"Kagome! Your cousin is here! Souta! Come down!" Kagome's mother called out as she opened the door and placed the luggages outside the door.
"Hakubo-san" Midori stated as Kagome's mother turned to her.
"Nani Midori?" Kagome's mother asked curiously.
"Can I look around?" Midori asked, asking permission to stroll around the shrine grounds.
"Hai hai. Kagome will be with you in just a moment" Kagome's mother replied as Midori nodded and walked away.
Midori looked around the grounds and then walked up to the enormous tree, Goshinboku.
"What a strange mark" Midori stated as she touches the part of Goshinboku's trunk where the bark never covered up. Then suddenly, she turned her attention to the well house. Curious, Midori walked away of Goshinboku, heading towards the well house.
"Kagome!" Kagome's mother called out as she opens Kagome's door.
"Nani mama?" she asked curiously.
"Midori is outside. Why don't you go there and give her a tour of the shrine?" Kagome's mother suggested.
"Midori?" she asked curiously.
"She's your cousin" Kagome's mother replied as she then pulls Kagome outside her room.
"Now go. And be friendly Kagome, her father warned me about her bad temper" Kagome's mother informed Kagome as she then nodded and went down the stairs.
Meanwhile, Midori stopped in front of the well house's door, hesitating to come in.
"Ohayou Midori!" Kagome exclaimed catching Midori's attention as she rushes to her.
"You must be Kagome" Midori said as Kagome finally arrived.
"Hai hai" Kagome said with a smile as Midori simply gave out a deep sigh.
"Kagome, what's in there?" Midori asked curiously as she turns her attention back to the well house.
"In there? Just a plain old well" Kagome replied.
"Can I take a look?" she asked as Kagome raised her eyebrow, wondering why a girl like her would like to look around a damp well house.
"Well, If you want to" Kagome stated as she then opened the door and the two of them stepped in.
"See, that's about it" Kagome replied, pointing at the well.
"Kagome!" Kagome's grandfather called out as Kagome turned to the house.
"Nani ojiisan!" she asked.
"It's your friend Yumi! She said you told her to call you!" Kagome's grandfather replied as Kagome shrug.
'Oh yeah, I told her to call me so I can ask about the test tomorrow' Kagome sighed. Then, she turned to Midori who was blankly staring at the well.
"Uhm, Midori-chan, I'll be back in a minute okay? I just really have to take this phone call" Kagome said as Midori calmly nodded. With that, Kagome then rushed to the house.
On her way, Kagome felt a strange feeling as she passed by Goshinboku. Without hesitation, she stopped and turned to the tree.
"Goshinboku?" she asked as she walked up to it, taking a closer look if there was any change at all. Then, Kagome's eyes widened as she saw the part of the trunk where it never grew back its bark was already gone. The whole trunk was covered with its bark. Kagome not knowing what happened simply touched the trunk of the tree.
"That's strange. This part is supposed to have no bark" Kagome said, holding the part of the tree where Inuyasha's chest was pierced with Kikyo's sealing arrow.
"Kagome!" Kagome's grandfather shouted out, catching her attention.
"Hai hai! I"m coming!" Kagome exclaimed as she then rushes to the house.
As soon as Kagome stepped in the house, Midori then went down the stairs, wanting to take a closer look of the well. She then held on to the well's borders as she peeped inside, wondering what was down that well.
Suddenly, a bright pinkish light instantly flashed, blinding Midori as she closed her eyes. The light glowed brighter and brighter, spreading all throughout the well house. And soon, in a matter of seconds, the light completely engulfed Midori as she loses consciousness.
