Been away for a long time. Sorry.

At the tender age of seven, Kagome Higurashi thought that her mother and father would be together forever; that they would always be with her and her brother, always happy, and carefree. She truly believed that they would live their fairytale lifestyle – modest, but still very happy.
Three months later, that bubble was popped when her father passed away in an accident.
Her mother had them move in with her father at the family shrine. Tears never left her mother's eyes all the while they were there.
A year and four months later, her mother has them move again. This time, to a whole new continent – America.
The apartment they moved into was quite nice, she still had her own room, the smaller room was her brother's, and her mother had the largest bedroom. The living room and kitchen were all one large room, and there as only one bathroom, but it was all in all nice.
A social butterfly, Kagome was eager to meet any kids in the area her own age despite her still learning the English language. She was quick to befriend one Sam Witwicky and one Mikaela Banes.
Her mother, too, came out of her shell, finding a simple job to bring in money for them as their father's life insurance would last forever.
Her mother came to befriend the father of Mikaela.
