Dear My Love
I quickly looked around my almost bare room making sure I had everything that I would need to visit my old friend Kagome Higurashi that I han't seen since the end of freshman year. We really needed to catch up seeing as how we hadn't seen each other in four years!! "Wow, four years." I thought scanning over the bare room again just to make sure I had everything as I heard my father screaming at me to get downstairs so I don't miss the plane.
A small sigh had escaped my lips as I ran down the stairs quickly with my last bag strapped on my shoulder. My father had glared at me like he had always done since my mom had died. I just ran to his car ignoring the glare like I had done so many times in my life. The drive was long and silent. Not a word was spoken by either of us. I didn't dare touch the radio in fear of my father going on a rampage; yell at me for touching his radio, then missing the flight because of the drama.
Once we arrived at Bradley international airport I went inside with all of my bags to get them checked. After going through all of the security I bought three packs of gum then ran to the plane. The plane was like any other plane ride I had guessed. There were a few hot guys, the peanuts sucked, a baby cried, and there was a long line to the bathroom. After chewing up the first pack of gum and killing the battery life of my ipod the plane had finally landed.
I rushed off the plane not wanting to stay here any longer. I quickly ran to get my baggage then looked around the airport for Mrs. Higurashi. After bumping into a few people and reading a few signs incorrectly I was finally able to find her. "There you are Kayoko! For a minute I thought you might have gotten on the wrong plane" Mrs. Higurashi had said in her warm motherly voice. She then laughed and I had to laugh along with her. Who couldn't love Kagome's mom? In my opinion she should win the nicest person award.
We casually walked out of the large crowded airport to her comfortable sized Toyota. We chatted about what we have been up to over the last four years but not one word about Kagome had been said until we had reached the shrine. "Kayoko you can bring your bags up to Kagome's room, it's in the same spot that I was four years ago if you remember where that is. She isn't home yet but she will be here in a few days. Once you put your bags away I'll explain to you why she isn't here okay sweet heart." Mrs. Higurashi has stated in her honey sweet voice.
All I could do was nod as I ran up the stairs through the familiar house to Kagome's untouched room. I looked around confused. "Why does it look like she hasn't been here for weeks….. that's probably what her mom wanted to explain to me." I had thought as I neatly put my bags in her almost empty closet. I had quickly went back downstairs wanting to hear what Mrs. Higurashi had to say about Kagome's absence knowing that today was the day I was supposed to arrive.
I saw Mrs. Higurashi sitting downstairs at the kitchen table with Kagome, a guy wearing red with long silver hair and dog ears and a platter of food. "Wait, why does this man have dog ears?" I quickly thought also sitting down at the table with the hosts and the unfamiliar man. Kagome quickly looked over at me "Oh my god!!!" Kagome nearly screeched as she ran over to me and hugged me.
I hugged her older frame back. She looked so much more mature than she did four years but that's usually what happens to people after going through high school. "Kayoko how have you been?" Kagome had asked in her sweet voice resembling her mothers. "I've been good how about you Kagome?" I had asked back just as excited as Kagome as the man with adorable dog hears sighed impatiently. "Oh yeah, Kayoko this is InuYasha, and I've been pretty good thank you." Kagome said still sounding excited but sweet at the same time. That was Kagome all right.
"Hi InuYasha." I said in a warm voice. All he did was grunt in response as I rolled my eyes trying not to hit him upside the head for being so rude to me for no reason. "Sit boy!" Kagome said angrily as InuYasha fell to the floor. A small giggle escaped my lips. "Hi Kayoko." InuYasha quickly said realizing the error of his ways. Kagome and her mother just smiled as I sat there still confused about why this man had dog ears. "Kagome we came here early like u wanted; can we get more supplies and leave?" InuYasha had asked trying to sound as understanding of the situation that he didn't understand so that he wouldn't get into trouble by Kagome again.
Kagome had sighed then looked at me then her mother. "Kayoko, you wouldn't mind going on a trip with me would you?" Kagome had said as her mother got up took Kagome's large yellow backpack into another room understanding the look that her daughter had given her. "We are NOT taking this wench with us!" InuYasha stated firmly in protest.
Before Kagome was able to punish InuYasha my hand quickly reached out and slapped InuYasha hardly. Kagome and InuYasha had a shocked look on both of their faces. Kagome then took a look at InuYasha's face to see a bright red hand mark on his left cheek. InuYasha still had a shocked look on his face, not able to believe that a woman had just slapped him. "Of course I would like to go with you Kagome" I said with a smile on my face. Kagome had laughed a tiny bit.
InuYasha had sat there glaring at me the whole time until Kagome and I had went upstairs. She helped me pick out the stuff I would need for this trip as she had called it earlier. We had put all the things that she said I would need and the stuff I felt like I needed to bring into my dark blue duffle bag. Kagome had gotten some fresh clothes then we both went downstairs.
In the kitchen Mrs. Higurashi had prepared a meal for us. She and InuYasha already ate because of much of a long time it had taken Kagome and I to go downstairs. Kagome found a way to cram the clothes into the yellow book bag that her mother had brought back into the kitchen. Kagome and I had eaten the rice, chicken and dumplings her mother had set aside for use to eat. "Thank you Mrs. Higurashi it was as good as always." I had said to Kagome's mother.
After washing up Kagome, InuYasha, and myself had went outside. "Kayoko, I know I have a lot to explain like why InuYasha has dog ears but I will do that later once you had met the rest of the crew. For now just hold my hand when we jump down into the well." Kagome had said.
"Ummmmmm why are we jumping into a well?" I asked more confused that I was earlier. "You will find out once we jump in okay?" Kagome said grabbing my hand then dragged me to the well. We both had jumped directly into the well after InuYasha had jumped in. All I saw was a swirl of black and purple then heard Kagome scream. Something obviously didn't go right.
