Resolutions

Prelude

Beep, beep Kagome's alarm clock woke her up late. "Oh, my goodness! I am going to be late!"

Kagome was an honor student at Minoki High School. She was top in her class. She lived with her mother and cat Buyo. She never knew her father because when her mom was three months pregnant, her mom found out the worst news a pregnant woman could find out. Her father had another woman pregnant!

--Flashback--

"What do you mean you're going out again! You just got home and you had me worried sick. It is not good for me to have this kind of stress Kino I am still pregnant and this might hurt the baby! Or have you forgotten?"

"No I have not forgotten how could I forget when you always remind me? Goodness I am gone. I'll be back when you have regained your senses."

"You do whatever you feel necessary I don't care!"

"I should've stay with Kumi,"Kino muttered under his breath.

"Who is Kumi?"

Kino turned his head away from his fiancé'.

"I asked you who Kumi is."

"You don't know her so don't worry about her!"

"Tell me who she is or get out Kumi!"

"You want to know fine. I had an affair with her 3 months before you got pregnant with our daughter! Are you happy now?"

"Leave Kumi!"

"I am sorry? I didn't mean......,"he said apology.

"It's okay just get out of my house," she said calmly.

"Honey, I am sorry!"

"GET OUT NOW!"

He turned before leaving," I hope you can forgive me someday." And he left and Kagome hasn't seen her dad since.

-- End of Flashback--

'Hmm. I wonder who he is and if he remembers me?' Kagome thought as she woke up from her dream.

Kagome slowly got out of bed not ready to explain to her teacher why she was late. She walks down the stairs calling for her mom.

"Mom where are you?"

She didn't hear her mother answer.

"Mom stop playing. I am supposed to be the child not you! Mom do you hear me?" Kagome said in cry. Her mom never played like this, and Kagome didn't like it.

"Come on Mom if this is your excuse of a practical joke; it's not working!"

Kagome went through the kitchen and past the den and saw her mother's door was slightly ajar. She knocked, but didn't get an answer. Kagome walked in her mom's room.

'Oh no!'

She saw her mother looking at her with a bullet lodged in her head. Kagome grabbed the phone and called the police.

Kagome had to go down to the station to tell the police all she knew.

When she got to the station she talked to Detective Inoniuya of Tokyo Police Department of Homicides.

"I know this is a hard time for you Ms. Higurashi, but I am going to need to ask you a few questions. Is that okay?"

"Yes, it is fine," Kagome muttered still in a daze about her mother's death.

"Kagome do know anyone who would want to hurt your mother? Did anyone ever argue with your mother?"

"The only time I ever knew or heard my mom yell was when her and my dad spilt up."

"Do you know your dad's name?"

"His first name is K-something. I think it is Kimi, Kamu, or Kumi. Oh it is Kino."

"Do you know his last name," Detective Inoniuya said sounding frustrated.

"Umm... I think it is Akaka."

"Do you have any other relatives?"

"No, it is just my mom and I."

"Kagome your lawyer is taking care of everything so don't worry about the funeral. I promise we will find out who killed your mom."

"Thank you sir."

That Saturday they had a closed casket funeral. Kagome was to stay at her friend Sango's house until they found out who her father was.

Sango Tashiski was Kagome's best friend and she had also lost her mother. So she knew how Kagome felt. Sometimes in the middle of the night she would hear Kagome crying in her sleep. She would go on the cot next to her own and comfort Kagome. Sometimes she would even sing her the nursery rhyme that her mother used to sing to her.

Next Monday is when Kagome found out something that would change her life forever; she would be living with the man she never knew.

I hope you enjoyed and I will be updating my other story later.

Ja ne.
