Prologue: How Name came to be Sister to Kagome
Clutching her lunchbox tightly to her chest Name (Nah-May) walked into her class room. The teacher, a nice looking but mousy woman, smiled at her. "Ah, you must be Name. How about you take a seat next to Kagome. Kagome, please raise your hand."
A plucky looking girl with dark hair and missing two front teeth waved her hand wildly.
Name walked over to her and sat down.
"My name's Kagome, what's yours."
"N-Name," Name said quietly.
Giving her a gaped grin, Kagome asked, "You wanna be friends?"
Name's eyes widened, no one had ever wanted to be her friend before. And if they did they soon left her when they found out she was an orphan. "S-sure."
"Great, we can play dollies during recess, and I'll give you all the raisins in my snack at snack time, oh and we can take turns pushing each other on the swings, and-."
"Kagome," the teacher kindly reprimanded, "please pay attention."
"Yes, mam."
The two of them ended up becoming great friends. Kagome didn't seem to care that she didn't have any parents. The two of them got along great. So much so that a few teachers called them the 'May' twins for the last syllable of their first name."
Everything was going great for little Name, until…
"What's wrong Name?"
"I…have to go soon."
Kagome raised an eyebrow confused, "But class isn't over for another hour."
Name looked at Kagome with tear filled eyes, "I'm being sent away. My foster parents don't want me anymore."
"What? Why?"
Name started to cry, "I don't know."
Kagome embraced her friend, "Don't worry Name. I won't let them take you away, you can live at my house."
"B-but-."
"No," Kagome cut her off, "I'm sure my mom will let you stay."
As it turned out Mrs. Higurashi had no problems with adopting Name and soon Name was Name Higurashi.
