A/n: Hey I wrote this story a while ago and decided to post it while I had some free time. For anyone who is reading The After Math a new chapter should be up soon. Thanks to Rita who reads and edits all my stories. So here goes...
Chapter 1 Returning Home
Kagome walked through the streets of Toronto, she was now alone, her mother, Grandfather and brother had left her on this lonely earth. All three died in a fire, the main part of the shrine had burnt to the ground.

Kagome had stayed at a friends house that night and the police came to get her. Once they arrived on the scene, a neighbour had informed them that Kagome wasn't home that night. She remembered standing there watching as the firemen tried to put out the fire, Kagome's best friend Ayumi stood with her. She waited, praying that her family would be ok, that they somehow survived the fatal flames that engulfed her house. Then she remembered running, one of the men had pulled her mother out of the burning flames, then another came with her brother and then the last with her Grandfather. Tears streamed down her face as she gazed on with shock, they were trying to resuscitate her little brother he wasn't responding. Her Grandfather had died long before he was carried out of the house. Kagome flinch as she heard the solid line of a lifeless heart.
" We have a live one here." She heard the medic say, Kagome ran towards her mother, they were lifting her on to a stretcher.
" Wait Kagome." Ayumi shouted, but Kaogme couldn't hear her.
" I'm her daughter, I am her daughter, I am her daughter." Kaogme repeatedly shouted. The men stop, for a second and waited for Kagome to catch up. They gently carried Kagome's mother over the shrines steps, and into the ambulance.
" Don't worry mama, you're going to be fine. They are going to take good care of you." Kagome held her mother's hand, she could fell her mother squeeze it.
" I'm sorry, I didn't mean..." Kagome stopped as she felt one last squeeze, and then her mother's hand went limp, and Kagome blacked out.
END FB
She could see people walking around her in the streets, they all seem to be in such a hurry. How much time had changed, the year was 2006, her Grandfather used to tell her stories of the old days, how she missed them. Kagome shook her head, and kept walking. That was six months ago, right now she lived in Canada with her aunt. She didn't mind living here but she missed her home, the one place that she couldn't go to. Kagome realized it was getting late and turned around to go back to her aunt's house. She hadn't seen it coming, one minute she was on her feet the next she was pushed to the ground.
" What the hell?" Kagome put a hand to her mouth, she has never used that word before.
" Sorry, K-Miss, I didn't see you there." A man with short jet black hair stood in front of her, he was wearing a white t-shirt, and jeans. There was something in his eyes that twinkled, they made him look mysterious.
" Umm that's ok." Kagome picked her self up off the ground. " I am sorry to be rude, but I must be going now." Shed bowed to the man and quickly walked away, before the man could reply.
Kagome stopped walking, her head felt funny, she took a deep breath and the feeling passed. Kagome walked through her door, to find her aunt sitting at the kitchen table. Kagome knew right away something was wrong.
" We lost Kagome, you have got to go back." Kagome stared in shock, this was impossible.
" No, they told us, I could stay here. How?" Kagome sat by her aunt.
" I am sorry Kagome, he is your father, and he wants you back in Japan. I tried my best, and I am sorry that I failed you. They pulled out four lawyers against our one, you have to return." Kagome started to cry.
" Why would he want me back after all these years, he left us, he left me and Souta, he left mom." Kagome stopped, and put on a calm face. " You tried your best and that's all I could ever ask from you." Kagome hugged her Aunt.
" You have grown up so much over these last couple of months. But there is something more to this, Kagome you have to leave in two days." Kagome's mouth dropped.
" Why so soon?" Kagome didn't understand.
" He wants you back now, he thinks the longer you stay here the worse it will be for you." Kagome nodded her head.
" Well then I guess we should go start to pack." More tears ran down Kagome's face, her Aunt wrapped her arm around Kagome and walked up the stairs to her bedroom.
Kagome looked out over the sky, and sighed. It wasn't like she had made many friends while living here, it was the feeling like she was losing her mother again. Kagome sat in a row by herself, her father was flying her first class back to Japan. Kagome was told that he was now a very successful business man, he had built a hotel on the shine. It was now the most sought after hotel in all Tokyo. Kagome couldn't believe that he even did that, he built a hotel on her mother's shrine. Her mother had kept the place going while he was no where in sight. Anger boiled in Kagome's blood. She wondered if he even new what really happened that night of the fire. Kagome shivered.
" Miss can I get you a blanket?" Kagome looked up and saw a women with deep brown eyes looking down at her. She wore her hair in a high ponytail, and seemed to be very cheerful for such a long flight.
" Umm, no thank you, can you tell me when we will be landing?" Kagome asked. The women smiled.
" About an hour left Miss." The women bowed and walked away.
Kagome went back to staring out the window, everything seemed to be spinning, she put a hand to her forehead. Kagome couldn't breath, it was the same feeling as before. She couldn't see where she was going, black smoke filled the air. She couldn't find him? Where was he? Why was she all alone? Kagome tripped and fell to the ground. What was going on?
" Thank you very much doctor." Kagome could hear a man's voice next to her, along with the beeping of some machines. She opened her eyes slowly. " Baby girl." Kagome knew that voice, it was her father's.
" Father." Her voice came out in barely a whisper.
" Bab-Kagome dear, I am sorry to have to bring you here at such sort notice. I know you must be mad at me for everything, and I just want to say I'm sorry. You had an anxiety attack while on your flight." Kagome's head was still cloudy, but she could still hear her fathers voice. She took in everything he said, she tried to respond, but couldn't. She some what nodded and fell asleep.
When Kagome awoke she felt like she was in a bed of feathers. She opened her eyes, the lights were dimmed. She sat up in her bed, and looked around. The bed she laid in had a beautiful canopy around it. The curtains were closed. The room was furnished with the finest of the finest. To Kagome's right was a bedside table, on it was an alarm clock, and a very expensive looking lamp. A few feet across from that was an, white vanity desk, with a plush seat. A matching dresser was on the other side of the room. The walls were painted a deep red, and had paintings hanging on each wall. Kagome couldn't believe her eyes, where was she? The door swung open and a maid walked in.
"Excuse me Ms. Higurashi, I didn't know you were awake." The maid bowed and started to leave the room.
" Wait, don't go." Kagome shouted after her, as she tried to pull the heavy bed covers off her body, she finally pulled herself free and found herself face to face with a very young and scared women, she was only about 20 years old, and had long red hair, that was tied back.
" Ms. Higurashi, I didn't mean to wake you! Please don't..." The maid bowed a few times.
" Hold on, I just want to know where I am. Oh, and please call me Kagome." Kagome stated.
"Why Ms..Kagome, well you are in your fathers hotel and I am Miranda your personal maid. I was just going to bring in the rest of your clothes, and this letter from your father." Miranda passed Kagome a folded piece of paper.
" Thank you, umm what do you mean by the rest of my clothes.I only had two suit cases." Kagome seemed confused.
" Please follow me." Miranda smiled at Kagome. She walk to the other side of the room and opened two doors, Kagome's mouth dropped. There was hanger after hanger full of clothes, from t-shirts to ballroom dresses. Shoes lined the floor, a couple dozen racks held every type of accessary.
" Your father saw to it that you had everything you needed." Kagome fingered a silk robe. She had four or five of them. " Is there any thing else that you need?" Miranda asked.
" Umm could you show me around?" Kagome asked nervously, as if not sure if this was a stupid question.
" Yes, Ms." Kagome follow Miranda around, in her bedroom she had a bath room, that was as big as her old room alone. Miranda brought Kagome outside onto her very own balcony. She looked over the side, they were on the top floor. Kagome pulled back she was terrified of heights, but she didn't know why, when she was younger Kagome was fine to be high in the sky, but now...
" There are only four suites on this floor. Three of which are used as apartments all year round." Miranda said sweetly. " Now if you would follow me I will show you the rest of your home." Kagome thought for a moment, 'home', could she ever really call this place home. Her family had died on this land.
Kagome walked out of her room and down a white hallway, Miranda showed her where the main bath room was to, her father's room, her father's guest room, kitchen and the living room. The last place the looked at was her father's study.
" This place is massive." She said in awe.
" If you would like, you could come with me and I show you around the rest of the hotel."
" Ok, just give me a few minutes to shower and get dress." Miranda nodded and went to the kitchen to prepared Kagome some supper. Kagome went back to her room, she picked up the letter that her father had written to her.
My dearest Kagome,
I am sorry that I can be here with you at this very moment, but I am very busy with running the hotel. But feel free to drop by to talk to me at any time. Now about the arrangements of our apartment, I have a colleague that stays with us three nights of the week. I must make this clear to you on those nights I ask you to stay distant, from him.
As for school you will be attending a private school just a few blocks from here. Everything you need is in your closet. There is a wallet with credit cards, ID's, and cash on your desk.
Kagome I have to say this to you, I know you must think that I am a horrid man, but what I did all those years ago was for you and our family. Maybe some day you will understand that.
Love Father
Kagome stared at the at the letter, she placed it in her bedside table and went to get a shower. She didn't want to think about it.
Half an hour later, Kagome stood in her closet wondering what to wear. Her hair was dry and left loose on her shoulders. She pulled out a pair of dark low riding jeans, a white tank top, with a black mesh shirt. She grabbed a pair of hop ear rings, and a silver bracelet, that her mother had given her for her 16 birthday. The pictures that Kagome had packed in her suit case stood on a shelf. She looked at them, it was of her and her full family, a couple days before her father left. Her parents seemed happy, there must be something more to it.
Next Kagome put on some make up, not much but just enough to highlight her features. She pulled on a pair of sneakers and grabbed her wallet from her desk, along with her room key, and cell. All of which was supplied by her father, Kagome laughed a little, it seems as if her father thought she could be bought with all these beautiful things. Kagome shook her head and walked out of her room.
" Miranda I'm ready." Kagome said as she came into the kitchen. Kagome stopped, a full supper had been prepared for her.
" Ok, how about I show you the hotel and then you can eat." Kagome agreed, she wasn't really in the mood to eat.
Kagome stepped into the hall, even that seemed to be lavish. Her and Miranda walked up to a set of golden elevator doors. Miranda explain that this was the only elevator out of five that came to this floor, and with that you had to have your key. But for Kagome it would be no problem, because once the word got out that she was staying at the hotel, all personal would be waiting on her hand and foot. Kagome sighed, this is not how she expected her life to turn out as. She thought back to the day she left Japan.
FB
" I guess this is good-bye." Ayumi said, tears streaking her face.
" No, let's just make this a see you later." Kagome hugged her best friend, her only friend since her accident. Kagome had been involved in a car accident a couple months before her home burnt to the ground. Now both were moving to two different places, Kagome to Canada and Ayumi to Germany.
" Bye Ayumi, I'll miss you." Kagome waved as she left her best friend behind.
" Bye Kagome!" Kagome shouted.
End FB
" So here we have the pool, and spa area...on this floor is the tennis courts and basketball courts..." Kagome couldn't really pay attention to what Miranda was saying, she was to busy thinking.
Two hours later Kagome was finally back up to her floor.
" Thanks Miranda, I am not sure if I will be able to remember that all, but I really had some fun tonight." Kagome bowed.
" Is there any thing else I can get you for the night?" Miranda asked.
" No I am fine, I'll see you tomorrow after-noon." Kagome waved good-bye and unlocked her door. She jumped when she saw a man sitting at the table.
" Kagome dear, come have a seat." Kagome looked at the man, it was her father.
