Kikyo chased Inuyasha bow and arrow in hand, he had stolen the shikon jewel she was destined to protect. The she finally hit him against a tree, with an arrow piercing straight through his heart. After killing him she fell down on the ground, the injury she had from the other dayhad re -opened itself, and in that very minute Kikyo Kenjin, died. Her last wishes were that the the Shikon Jewel be burned with her body.
A mere hour later, police rushed to the scene ontheir bikes. They questioned villagers, students, teachers, and of course Kaede. After nearly a year of questioning, and investigating they decided that Kikyo Kenjin was murdered, by Inuyasha Hatsuyuki. And, vice versa.
Meanwhile Inuyasha, was forever sealed to the tree of ages. And, the grounds where that tree was located was fenced apart from the rest of the school, never to be touched again.

Kagome stared dwon at the paper, she couldn't believe it! She had gotten accepted to InuYasha academy! She squealed and did a victory dance, in the meantime Sota was quiet, his face showing slight amounts of jealousy, why didn't I get into the school too? (A/N: This will be explained later)
Kagome's mom came into the room, wiping her wet hand on her apron. "What's all this fuss about?"
Kagome's already beaming face lit up, "I got accepted!", she practically shouted. Mama showed a smile that said she was happy for her daughter.
"Kagome, you are going to have lot's of fun there! I made the closest friends of my life at that school!", said Kagome's mother smiling, "Although I was only a Gen. Ed student I-"
"Wait mama, back it up!" said Kagome trying to let the information she just learned soak in, "You went to InuYasha Academy!" Kagome's mother nodded her head lightly, her smile grew a teensy bit wider. Kagome embraced her mom tightly.
Later, in the late weeks of Febuary and early weeks of March, Kagome began packing this and that for her long train ride to Niigata. Then a short car ride to InuYasha. She would miss her family but, at least she could see them during Golden Week.
As she was about to leave, her mother ran up to her and embraced her, "Don't forget about Tokyo, and us. Okay?"
Kagome dropped her bags and hugged her back, "I know mama, thanks for everything!"
On the train, Kagome was staring at somethig faraway, something beyond the glass of her window, and beyond the horizon of the now setting sun. something that can only be found faraway in the mysterious beyond. Yet, she will soon she will realize that the thing she was searching for was beyond her wildest hopes and dreams, and not so faraway...

Background Info on the school:
(Don't read if you don't wan't to,this is pretty boring, but if you don't you won't understand a lot.)
First of all this school is a K-12 school. Kagome is a general education student, which means (if you haven't figured it out), she learn the same subjects as any other kid. If you are part of a certain class (classification) though, you will be given certain different subjects to study and learn, along with normal GenEd. Say for example, you are classified as a Miko, you will study herbs, aquire bow and arrow skills, learn some purification spells, etc.
The classes are general education, general warrior, miko, taijiya, houshi, obake animals (you kind of have to be a youaki...), tribal warrior (just think of Koga), and aristocratic warrior. Your uniform depends on your class, say if your GenEd. Then you would probably get a uniform similar to Kagome's, or if your a general warior you get a strange kimono type thing, of your choice.
The school is located in a small neighboorhood vilage north of Tokyo. The village has about 80 inhabitants (excluding the 400 students attending the academy), a small clinic, a convienence store, and some random vending machines located in the town. It's filled with traditional homes and rice fields, a quiet and peacful place, known as InuYasha. (yeah, that's Inuyasha's name, let's just say his parents weren't very creative with the names.)
Lot's of people request to get in the school. Few ever do get in. The tests are very difficult and hard to most people. The tests are only easy to those who make it in.
A/N: Well, it's not your average "Shikon High" huh? Oh yeah, the bold-italics need to be explained a bit... :P (I wish there was a derpy emoticon)
Their Bikes: Yes, back in those days policemen rode bikes... (Derpy emticon). Take
Niigata: REAL city in Japan.
Golden Week: One of Japan's biggest holidays. It's the week which have 4 very important holidays in Japan, April 29 and May 3-5.
