A young woman sat on a couch eating a bowl of ice cream. Her house phone attached to her ear. The woman sighed into the receiver. "Sango, I don't know if I should come.," she said getting a spoonful of ice cream.
"Higurashi Kagome! Just a year ago you would of jumped at the opportunity to come to Tokyo!"
Kagome grimaced at the voice on the phone. "Sango, that was a year ago. I have Hojo now and the whole idea is making the poor guy nervous.," Kagome said eating her ice cream.
"Everything makes Hojo nervous! There is nothing in this world that doesn't make this guy nervous!"
Kagome just shook her head at Sango, ignoring her ice cream. "Sango, what would I gain by coming to Tokyo?," Kagome asked.
"Do you really have to ask? You have always been curious about demons. Just come out for this weekend. Kohaku's school is having their annual Family Day this Saturday. He'll be real excited to see you and Souta."
Kagome glanced up at the ceiling. "Alright but only for the weekend. We'll leave here tomorrow after Souta gets out of school.," Kagome said running a hand through her hair.
"Yay! This is so great! It'll be just like old times when the four of us hung out!"
Kagome smiled. "See you tomorrow.," Kagome said. They said their goodbyes and hung up. Kagome stood up off the couch and walked upstairs. She knocked on a closed door. "Souta, are you awake still?," Kagome asked. The door opened to reveal a young boy. "What is it?," he asked. He had short black hair and brown eyes. "Tomorrow after school I am going to pick you up. We are going away for the weekend, just you and me.," Kagome said. "Where are we going?," he asked. "It's a surprise, Souta.," Kagome said. "Ok.," Souta said closing his door.
Kagome walked down the hall to her room. She closed the door behind her and sat on her bed. She picked up her house phone and dialed a number.

"Hello?"
"Hey, Hojo.," Kagome said smiling into the receiver.
"Hey, sweetheart. How are you?"
"I'm good. How are you?," Kagome said laying on her bed. Her long black hair reached the small of her back and fanned out around her.
"I'm good. I worked at my shop a little today. I brought you home something for Souta's feet."
"Souta's feet?," Kagome asked confused.
"Yeah, he said his feet have been hurting but he smiled to play off how much it is bothering him. He even laughed."
Kagome frowned. "Hojo, I'm pretty sure he was joking.," Kagome said.
"I don't think so. So, Kagome, would you like to go to the movies this Saturday?"
"Actually, that's why I'm calling. I'm not going to be around this weekend.," Kagome said.
"What do you mean? Where are you going?"
'I could lie to him and say I'm visiting some family. No, that won't be good.,' Kagome thought. "I'm taking Souta to Tokyo. We're going to visit Sango and Kohaku.," Kagome said.
"Kagome, you know how I feel about Tokyo."
"And you know how I need to visit them. Besides, I've always wanted to go to Tokyo.," Kagome said.
"Do you know what you're saying? Kagome, I can't allow you to go.,"
"Allow me? I'm a grown woman, Hojo. I've been taking care of Souta for years. I can make my own decisions.," Kagome said getting angry.
"Kagome, I'm looking out for your safety. Those demons will kill you without a second thought if you do one wrong thing. Kagome, if you go it's over."
Kagome felt her big blue eyes fill with tears. "Well then, Hojo, I guess it's over.," Kagome said hanging up. Kagome unhooked all the phones from the walls so that he couldn't call back. Kagome laid back down in her bed and closed her eyes.
Kagome woke up to her alarm going off. Kagome turned it off and decided to plug all the phones back in. Kagome then went to Souta's room to wake him up. Kagome found Souta laying half off his bed. Kagome walked over to him and gently shook him awake, making sure he didn't fall off his bed. Kagome waited until he got out of his bed to go to her room. Kagome changed into a baby blue tankop and dark wash jean capris. Kagome went downstairs to wait for Souta. "I take it we are getting McDonalds on the way?," Souta asked coming down the stairs. "Yeah. I'm too lazy to cook and you are running late anyway.," Kagome said grabbing her keys. Souta followed Kagome out to her beat up honda. "Kagome, I think it's time for a new car.," Souta comments as she started it.
"Can't get a new car until we catch up on bills. The bank is going to take the house back pretty soon.," Kagome said. "What are we going to do?," Souta asked. "I don't know yet.," Kagome said driving down the road. "So, are you going to tell me where we are going after school?," Souta asked. "Nope. Like I said, it's a surprise.," Kagome said pulling up infront of a school. Souta got out of the car and walked up to the school doors. Kagome went back home and decided to give Sango a call.

Kagome hung up the phone. She didn't know what she would even say to Sango. Kagome walked upstairs and began to pack her clothes for the weekend. Once that was done, Kagome wandered into Souta's room. She grabbed his duffle bag and tossed it on his bed. She packed two pairs of pjs. She threw in a couple pairs of jeans and five different shirts. She threw in two of his hoodies. She then threw in his tooth brush and tooth paste and comb. Kagome then went about packing his psp and games and charger. 'I think that's everything.,' Kagome thought looking around his room. When she was certain she was done, she took both their duffles downstairs. Kagome then decided to clean so she wouldn't have to do it Monday.
Kagome was relaxing on the couch. She had been done cleaning for almost an hour. She had to go pick up Souta soon. Kagome got up off the couch and started to load the car. She got in and started it up. She drove to McDonalds and got them some food before driving to Souta's school. Kagome began to eat as she waited for Souta to get out of school. She was finished by time he got to the car. "Your food is in the bag.," Kagome said driving down the road. Kagome turned on the radio. Souta began eating.
It was hitting eight pm and Kagome was still driving. "Kagome, where are we going?," Souta asked boredly. "Your psp is in your duffle bag.," Kagome said. "I've already played it. Where are we going?," Souta asked. "It's a surprise.," Kagome said. Souta huffed and laid his seat back, intent on getting some sleep.
