Kagome slammed her head against the table repeatedly. She finally stopped and pulled the ebony hair out of her face. "Grandpa how are we going to keep the secret from her if she lives in our HOUSE," Kagome yelled. "I can barely keep it from my friends and they rarely come here!"
"Yes, but," he said, "you rarely go to the feudal era much anyway since you finished the Shikon Jewel."
Good point she thought. How could he just sign us up for an exchange student (1)? I thought old people were supposed to get senile not smart with age, or is it wisdom with age? She slammed her head against the table with a sigh, "fine but if she finds out its all on your head Grandpa. So what is her name, when is she coming and for how long?" Just suck it up and deal with it Kagome She scolded herself.
"Her name is Sarah Williams, she's from London you know, and she should be here in 3 days," her grandpa said, "Oh and she will be here for the entire school year, including the summer."
UGGG this is going to be a long year Kagome grunted mentally slamming her head against the table again.

"WHAT?! And your letting her go?" Karen(2) yelled at Robert, "Who will watch Toby?"
Isn't that your job? A disgruntled Sarah thought. She had tried to patch things up with Karen after the Labyrinth, but Karen always thought Sarah was trying to get something from her so she finally gave up.
"Sarah was offered this, with full ride (3). Someone else will pay all of her expenses and she will be living at a shrine. Why wouldn't I let her go?" Robert said. As if on an after thought, "Plus it will look good on college applications." Sarah just stood there watching them fight.
She sighed, "I have a friend willing to babysit Toby for you. You will have to pay her a little but it's better than leaving him home alone." She really didn't want to get involved in this. I will just make it so she has no decent reasons I should stay here. That should do for now.
The real reason Sarah wanted to leave was this place was all the bad memories that had collected here through her life. Her mom leaving, being treated like a slave by Karen, wishing away her brother, coming back from the Labyrinth, so many that it hurt to think about. After she had left the Labyrinth she felt like something had changed. Not in the obvious way like the way she wasn't as spoiled or bratty, but as if some part of her was replaced by something else.
Her father told her to go upstairs and finish packing knocking her out of her la-la land. She quickly ran upstairs not wanting to be part of this fight anymore.
She threw underwear, socks, anything else that she might not have packed. She was searching for a hair elastic when she found Lancelot. Picking up the bear carefully she debated on bringing her long time friend with her, when she saw it. She quickly closed her pale green eyes and shook her head so hard her waist length dark brown hair flew around her head. Moving the hair out of her eyes she looked to see if she had seen correctly.
There in faded gold letters on a red leather bound book read Labyrinth.

2 days later….
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Saying goodbye to her father and Karen, Sarah went through the outrageously long line towards security (4). Staring at the crowds she let her mind wander. Why was that book there? I got rid of it years ago, could he have put it there? She shook her head why would he come and bug me now if he could have right after the Labyrinth. No it is nor him
Finally making it past security she went to her gate. Realizing that she still had an hour until boarding she made her way to the bathroom. Her father, wanting her to make a good impression and being the lawyer that he was, made her wear a skirt, heals and a button up shirt. Making her look very much like a secretary. As much as she wanted to make a goo impression she refused to look like a secretary.
She went into the first open stall and quickly hopped out of the binding clothes and dug through her bag to find the clothes she had packed. She pulled out a poet shirt, a pair of jeans, and sneakers, the same ones she had worn through the Labyrinth if not bigger. She had grown much in two years she had become a little curvier and taller.
Many guys had asked her out but that new part of her always pushed her to say no. She could never understand why, maybe she thought no one would see her as a different person then the snotty girl whose mother had left her family when she was eleven. They probably wouldn't have either and nobody ever gave her that spark, the feeling that she actually belonged, except for him.
Finishing changing she shoved the evil clothes in the bag and slung it over her shoulder. Leaving the bathroom ignoring the funny stares what haven't they seen any movies before, lots of people change in the bathroom at airports.
She grabbed a shake and finished it right before they called for boarding. Who ever was sending her to Japan for a year wanted her to go in style. She was flying 1st class the entire way. She tossed the cup in the trash and went to board the plane
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Sarah grumbled all the way to her seat, "Stupid people just because I don't look like I should be flying 1st class, doesn't mean you have to send me to the back of the line. Before seeing my ticket none the less." If people could actually see auras they would see a large mass of lighting bolts and giant flames and wouldn't be within 10 feet of her.
She sat down, pulled out her IPod, and settled her self for a long 12 hour flight.

10 minutes before landing
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Ignoring the creepy, old man that had been staring at her for the past 45 minutes, Sarah started to put her stuff away in her bag. She sat her chair up just as the captain announced "We will be landing soon please put away all electrical devices, sit your seat in a upright position, and buckle your seat belt."
Sarah knew that the man probably wouldn't stop staring at her until she made a comment she turned to him and asked, "Did you know it is illegal for you to rape underage girls?" The man immediately turned away grumbling something about the world being no fun any more. She smiled who said being mean got you no where?
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Kagome sighed again; today was the day that the exchange student, Sarah. She really hoped Sarah wasn't a snoopy type of person or else she would be in big mess. She plastered a smile on her face Grin and bear it Kagome grin and bear it she said to herself.
Just then kiosk changed from on time to arrived. "Well I guess it's time to meet Sarah now," she said to her mother. Her mother just nodded they waited with the very cliché sign saying SARAH WILLIAMS.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
After about 30 minutes, good considering she had to get through customs, security, and get off the airplane. A young woman walked up to them and said in struggling Japanese, "Are you the Higurashi family?" Feeling pity on her I responded in, also struggling, English, "Yes, I am Kagome nice to meet you."
