Summary: After the quest is over, Kagome's mother feels that a change of scenery would do her daughter well. They pack up and leave for Carmel, California. It just so happens that a lovely house overlooking the bay had recently been put up for sale. However, once they arrive, Kagome finds that she can't seem to escape the paranormal. It just so happens that her new bedroom houses a ghost. A very sexy ghost named Jesse DeSilva. A/U
A/N: I haven't read the series in a while, so things may not be exactly as they are in the books. I am sorry for the inconsistencies.
Kagome looked up at the house with a slight interest shining in her cobalt orbs. It appeared to be nice enough. It was definitely different from the shrine. Scratch that. It was different from Japan period.
She squinted as she looked out at the glittering ocean. Her place of birth was nearly four thousand miles away and counting. Tears pricked her azure eyes. The Pacific now separated her and the well house. The only thing she had left to her connect her to her time in the past.
Before the tears could start, she averted her gaze from the ocean, and the one place she had called home.
A small sigh left her soft lips as she hefted the box up the front steps and into the house.
She couldn't argue with her mother's logic. She had driven herself batty waiting for people from the past to whisk her away.
She had been grieving for the past few months. She had never gotten a chance to say her final goodbyes before Inuyasha had unceremoniously dumped her into the well after the jewel had been completed. He reasoned that she would be happier in her own time where she could find someone to love her. Someone that would treat her well.
An ache consumed her chest.
"Kagome,"
She twirled around to look at her mom. Worry clouded her brown eyes, but Kagome smiled.
"I was just thinking about…" She didn't finish her sentence. Her mother would know. She always did.
Kagome's mother tried to smile. She wanted to say, "I understand," but she didn't. She couldn't relate to what Kagome was feeling. "Your bedroom is straight up the stairs."
She nodded absentmindedly.
"Oh and apparently the old owner's daughter left a message for the new person to be staying in that room."
Her mother placed the letter on the box in Kagome's arms before she walked into the house to make sure the movers handled their heirlooms with care.
Kagome looked at the not with curiosity. She wondered what the note contained.
She sighed again, this time a sad smile tugging at the corners of her lips.
She supposed she would be able to start anew. The new kids at her high school would not know of her prior 'illnesses.' She could be normal. She could live the life of a high school girl.
However, that still didn't stop her from wondering about the, "what if's," but even Kagome knew that she shouldn't dwell on those. If Inuyasha had still been alive he would have come to her in the future.
Even if he didn't, Shippou would be a force to be reckoned with. He'd already lost his parents and she assumed he had taken her loss a bit harshly.
Kagome gently shook her head to clear the array of thoughts that kept her from the happiness she deserved.
Nudging the door open with her foot, Kagome stepped into the room.
She took a quick survey of the lay out before she noticed a man sitting on the windowsill.
She dropped the box that contained her most prized possessions as she stared at the spot the man currently occupied.
"This can't be happening." She mumbled, in shock at seeing the young man in her room.
He quirked an eyebrow at her reaction.
"I suppose this means you can see me."
She barely registered his words before her vision clouded and suddenly the floor was coming up to meet her at an alarming rate.
A/N: I don't know if this has been done before, but I sort of thought Kagome could get together with Jesse or Paul. We'll see. She'll probably end up with Jesse.
