Chapter 1
Kagome Higurashi, a 17 year old who had lived in Japan all her life. She had raven hair that came to the small of her back, big brown eyes, and rather pale skin. Now she was being forced to move in with her father, James Higurashi. Her father lived in a small town called Thorp. It was a rather cloudy and rainy town. Completely different from where Kagome lived now. Her and her mother, Miya Higurashi, lived in a large mansion of a sort. Her mother was very successful and owned many companies. Kagome had tried to talk her mother out of it but never was successful. Now she was on a plane to Thorp, Washington and being miserable. It wasn't that she didn't love her dad, but Thorp just wasn't her life style. It was cold, poor for the most part, and you had to drive miles just to get to a store. The only thing she was excited about was that her father had said that he had a surprise for her when she got there. She had a hunch on what it was since she had just gotten her license even though she had just turned seventeen (her mother hadn't had time to take her to get it until now).
After the plane landed she went over luggage claim to claim her luggage. Her dad had said he would meet her at the front gates. Sure enough there he was talking to someone on his cell phone. When he saw her he said bye to whomever he was talking to and came up to her to give her a hug. "Hey Kagome, I've missed you." She hugged him back and rolled her eyes, she hated it when people called her Kagome she preferred to be called Kag. "I missed you too dad." He smiled and then wrapped his arm around her shoulder. "Let's get going I have your surprise at home." He was very excited she was there apparently. He pulled her along to his small beat up Volvo. She put her stuff in the back and then sat in the passengers' seat. Of course, when they exited the shelter of the car deck, it was raining. She sighed and slumped into the back of her seat. It was a long ride to begin with and the silence seemed to make it longer.
When they reached the house it looked bigger than it really was. It was a yellowish, two story house. When you walked into the door you walked straight into the kitchen which had a small dinner table for two. Just beyond that, there was a space painted in green that had a small TV, a large chair, and a three person sofa. James flopped down into the chair and asked, "Have you eaten anything?" Kag just nodded her head and faked a yawn. "I think I'm just goanna go to bed early and get ready for school tomorrow. G'nite" She headed towards her room slowly and James just said goodnight back and turned the TV on.
Once Kag was upstairs she unpacked her stuff and pulled out an old photo album that she had hidden in her closet years before. She skimmed though the pictures until she found one of her, her mom, and her dad. They were all smiling and hugging, Kag sighed, that was before her folks got a divorce. After that her dad moved to the US, and she never got to see her father anymore. Her mother all ways got uncomfortable when they talked about her dad so they avoided the subject. What made her mother decide that Kagome had to move to the states was a mystery to Kag. After skimming though the rest of the pictures she flicked off her lights and went to sleep. She really hoped that school wouldn't be to bad tomorrow.
