Prologue- Lansford University of California, Tokyo

Kagome walked back inside her house after checking the mail for what seemed like the thousandth time that week. She was getting antsy; there were only a few weeks left of her high school career and she hadn't gotten any acceptance letters from the colleges she wanted to go to. There was little time for her to be picky about what college she wanted to go to, but she was still hoping that ONE big time university was going to let her into its vicinity. The problem was it wasn't just ANY big time university it was THE big time university.

Kagome had a burning desire to be a part of Lansford University.

Lansford University was a newer institution compared to the rest of the universities in town. It was open to everybody; be it human, demon, or half-breed, which was unusual for an American university that had programs in Tokyo. As much as people liked to believe that demons and humans had finally settled their age old war against each other, many schools in Tokyo still instilled the idea of segregation between the two breeds because of the bloody past the two races shared.

There were a total of five letters in her hand; each and every one of them was labeled to her. Kagome sat down and let the couch almost swallow her before she even considered looking at them. The first letter was another acceptance letter from the University of Tokyo. She had already received one prior to the beginning over her second semester of school, she still wasn't quite sure if she wanted to be a part of it though. If she didn't receive the acceptance letter she wanted, the University of Tokyo was the one and only college she would go to. The second letter was actually to her mom, she let it fall onto the oak coffee table on top of all the other letters and papers her mother needed to look at. Anxiously, Kagome rubbed her feet against the worn out carpet of the living room. There were still three more letters to go. She had hopes, but she was afraid to let them get too high.

The third letter contained nothing of interest. It was junk mail that had weaved itself into Kagome's shaking hands. Two more letters to go, would the letter she wanted be one of them?

Her hands were shaking as she looked at the fourth envelope, but it wasn't what she wanted to see. It was another letter to her mother. Obviously Kagome had only let her eyes scan over the names quickly enough for her to only see the last name. There was one letter left. Sighing, Kagome set it down on the table.

There is no way Lansford University wants me. That last letter won't be from them. You know it won't. Kagome thought as she let her eyes wonder around the room. The small TV that sat across from her wasn't even a flat screen; a definite reminder that even if she did get accepted into Lansford she probably wouldn't be able to afford the tuition or book fees she'd have to pay in order to go. She let out a long slow sigh. THIS IS SO STUPID! She was angry, something that was all too predictable for Kagome. Of course, she had good reason to be angry; Lansford University had been sending her packets open of packets of information since her sophomore year. And since she was less than a month away from graduating from high school, she expected to get at least something from the university, but no, there had been nothing in the mail from the prestigious university.

Well it's now or never, either you pick up that letter and see who it is from, or you can leave it there for Mom to see Kagome. She thought and shook her head. E-ne-me-ne-my-ne-mo might work… She debated on the pros and cons of looking at the letter until her curiosity got the better of her. She snatched up the last letter and took in a deep breath. Please be from Lansford! Please, please, please!!!!! She thought in desperation.

Kagome looked down and let her gaze look over the off-white envelope, she was looking at the wrong side. Flipping it over gave little comfort, there was nothing on either side of the envelope.

What kind of sick joke was this?

She quickly tore open the envelope and pulled out a scarlet letter. Embossed into the left corner of the letter was the crest for Lansford University. Kagome's heart skipped a beat as she unfurled the small piece of paper.

Dear Mrs. Kagome Higurashi,

After many weeks of research, the board of education for Lansford University of California, Tokyo, wants to extend a full-ride scholarship to you for your amazing talent and grades. Lansford is a private university that only asks the best and brightest of Japan to walk its halls.

Since we are offering a full-ride scholarship, and to hopefully encourage you to come back for your sophomore year, we are also offering you a small apartment on campus to give you the best collage experience. Both the dorms and the apartments are co-ed, and there is a one to one ratio of males and females attending.

Lansford University also has many study abroad opportunities that you as a student of any other college might not have. We have a total of ten locations to choose from. These locations are in; California, Australia, Britain, Switzerland, Brazil, Germany, New York, France, South Africa, and right here in Tokyo.

The classes have 15-20 students per teacher and there are a total of 500 students attending with a three to one ratio of students to faculty. As you may already know, Lansford University is composed of demons, half demons, and humans. Demons are the largest group while humans follow shortly behind. Half demons are the smallest population in our school.

We hope you accept our offer and join us at this prestigious college.

Sincerely,

Nikko Chi, Headmaster

Kagome read and reared the letter five times to make sure she had read correctly. She was still staring at the letter when her mother returned from her shopping spree.

"What do you have there, Kags?" Her mother asked as she walked across the small space, pausing only once to fix the frame of the only family picture they had hanging on the cream colored walls.

Kagome quickly glanced up at her mother, her cheeks were hot with embarrassment at her own attitude towards being accepted into Lansford. She was shocked, which was kind of silly after she thought about it. Lansford had always paid special attention to her, why wouldn't they accept her into it?

"I finally got the acceptance letter Mom." She squealed and ran up to hug her mother. "I got a FULL RIDE!!"

"You what?!" Shock was evident in her mother's voice. At least Kagome knew she wasn't the only one that was shocked.

"Here," Kagome handed the letter over to her mother. "you can read it yourself if you don't believe me."

Her mother read the letter. "You're going to Lansford!" She smiled happily and hugged Kagome. "Oh Kagome I'm so proud of you! We have to go find your grandfather and tell him the good news!"

Kagome smiled as she watched her mother rush out of the door to find her grandfather.

AN: Okay, I rewrote this chapter again. If there is anything out of place please tell me. Talicka
