Welcome to Shikon High (The Re-write!)
In the big city of Kamakura, Japan, a mother is arguing with her three children. They have just come home from their last day of school for the year, walking into the living room to see half of it packed in boxes, empty ones stacked on top of each other and strewn around on the floor.
"Mom, why are there so many boxes in here?" a sixteen year old girl called to her mother slowly and cautiously, dropping her bag of old school notebooks, pens, and locker ornaments on the floor as they walk through the door.
"Because we're moving, Kagome," the woman replied cheerily with a smile striding from the kitchen. She had just now finished packing the rest of the pots and pans in yet more boxes.
"What!? Why!? When!? Where!?" shouted another 16 year old girl to her mother who now stood in the middle of the box-filled room.
"Your grandfather and I both got new jobs in Tokyo last week. They want us to start in two months, but I thought we should move next week so we could settle in, unpack, and explore the new city before work and school start up again. It'll also give you kids some time to say goodbye to your friends and help pack up before we leave," the woman answered all of her daughter's questions.
"Tokyo? But that's only an hour's ride away from here. Couldn't we just stay and you and grandpa get up an hour early to drive to work?" an eleven year old boy, who was quiet until now, asked, flailing his arms around.
"Yeah, mom, we can't abandon the family shrine," Kagome added, the boy nodding in agreement.
"And besides, he finally moved away a month ago, we don't know if that's where he went. I don't want to take the chance that he might be there!" the other sixteen year old almost shrieked as her voice grew louder with every word, referring to a boy that the family obviously knew and hated.
Their mother sighed deeply at her children's excuses. Lucky for her, she anticipated all of them and prepared answers ahead of time. She turned to her son. "First of all," she began, "Souta, it's hard enough to get the three of you out of bed as it is, I would have to get you up with us and you would need to find something to occupy yourself with until you leave." The boy known as Souta hung his head in defeat. She faced Kagome and continued her argument, "And Kagome, we won't be abandoning the shrine, it'll still be ours, we just won't be living in it. With the new jobs your grandfather and I now have, we'll be able to keep both the shrine and the new house." Kagome avoided eye contact and hung her head as well. The woman looked at her oldest daughter by five minutes. This answer was the most difficult to find, and she wasn't sure if she would accept what could only be found, her first child wasn't easy to please. Her small smile quickly disappeared at her own thoughts. "Kagossi, he won't be going to your new high school. I made a few calls, and that's all I could find. It's hard to find someone like him in a big city capital like Tokyo, no one would even look for me, they only told me that he wouldn't be attending your new school."
Everybody turned to look at the girl now known as Kagossi (kuh-go-she), hope in their eyes. The mother hoped she would be okay with the information. Kagome and Souta hoped she would stay true to her stubborn nature and reject everything, as they couldn't.
Kagossi opened her mouth to speak, eyes narrowed at her mother, lips curved perfectly down in a frown. "I…"
Oooh! Cliffy! Can you guess who they were talking about? If you've read the original version you probably could, oh well. *sigh* Hope you enjoyed! And please don't hate me for leaving a cliff hanger at the end of the first chapter. I might have the second one up later today. Please review!
Sesshomaru: Or else.
Me: Thank you!
Peace!
