Hmmm…..what does the future hold for me? It has nothing that seems to capture my interest. I am nothing, just some spark from the past – the past the holds demons, mikos, half-demons – things that are marvelous and indescribable. That was 500 years into the past. It is now the year 2010. I started the year with my friends, but now I am alone. I cannot go back. The well won't take me, considering that the jewel is now complete and whole, resting within my body. Well, to be more exact, it was absorbed into my body. Now neither demon nor any other creature can take it from me. The power is now me. I have grown considerably as a miko with this power, but I can do nothing with it. I am trapped here. The worse part is that my family had moved to some place called Forks. Now I'm on my way on an airplane towards Forks. I sighed. I could of stayed in Japan, where I can actually understand people, but I have nothing left to tie me down there. First of all, the well doesn't work anymore, and second, the people I know there are no longer acquainted with me. So I am just going to make a fresh start. Wouldn't hurt to try, would it?
I walked out of the airplane, looking for my family.
"Hey! Kagome! Over here!" I looked over to see my family smiling and waving their hands to me at the same time. I looked to them and smiled. It had been a long time since I had seen them last – about one month, I think. Souta looked so big and grown up! I walked over to them with a big smile.
"Hi guys!" I hugged my ma and grandpa quickly and looked to Souta. "Souta, you big rascal! What have you been doing while I was gone?" He laughed and hugged me.
"It's good to have you back sis." Then we left to the car. In the car ride, me everything I had missed. "…..al we were jumping and….." I know I shouldn't have, but I zoned out for a while, until I felt a dark presence as we drove into Forks. That woke me up completely. I sat up quickly and tried to pinpoint the source. It led right into the forest. I narrowed my eyes. Souta noticed and stopped mid-sentence. "What's the matter, sis?" He stared at me curiously. I smiled and shook my head, confused.
"It was nothing." He narrowed his eyes suspiciously. "Really?" he asked. I nodded slowly. He frowned then smiled. "Well, I'll find out eventually," and continued speaking until we reached the house. I got out and started wonderingly at the huge house. It looked exactly like the shrine back home – the many stairs, the well-house – everything! Yet it wasn't the same. They smiled at my shocked look. "Good, right? We figured you would want something familiar to help with the move. Do you like it?" Tears filled my eyes. It was heartwarming, alright, but it hurt a little looking at it, knowing that it wasn't the real shrine, not the real well-house. I nodded and hugged them. "It's great," I said weakly. I walked in, looking at the design inside. It was exactly the same, yet it wasn't. I stopped and leaned my head against the door to calm myself. Then I went to my room and found a bed. I layed down and sighed. After a while, my ma came to my room. "Kagome, I put you into a school a distant friend told me about. Is that okay?" She waited for my response nervously. Ever since I came back, I had been quiet and withdrawn. I could tell she was worried. I tried to smile. "Yeah, that's fine." She smiled happily. "Dinner is ready. Come down soon." She left as I stared at the ceiling. I sighed and turned to stand up.
".....tomorrow is going to be a long day……"
