Kagome slowly walked up the steps of the shrine where she lived. It was a long day at school, time had dragged on as slowly as it could. But all that didn't matter now. It was summer break and she planned to take full advantage of all the free time. Sleeping in, going to the movies, sleepovers with her friends, that is, when they all returned from their vacations. All three of them, Eri, Yuka and Arimi were going to visit others members of their families of the vacation, but they would be back in time to get in a couple of weeks of fun. "Who knows, maybe Hojo will take me out sometime?" she thought to herself. He seemed to be paying more attention to her lately, so who knew what was in store for her this break.
She slid open the door of her house, stepping inside she called "I'm home!"
No response.
"Mama! Are you here?" Kagome walked into the kitchen.
No one was there.
"That's strange, mama always makes sure to greet me when I walk in the door." She thought. But it was also strange how there seemed to be no one around at all, not her grandfather or her younger brother Souta.
That's when she saw the note lying on the table. She picked it up and began to read it.
Dear Kagome,
Souta had an accident at school. For what information I've acquired, he was goofing off with some of his friends and somehow was knocked unconscious and began to seizure. He has been taken to the hospital and Jii-chan and I are on our way over. I'll call you later with an update, just get on with your chores and make yourself some supper. I'm sure your brother will be fine.
Love, Mama
Kagome's hand was shaking as she put the note down. "OMG, Souta, omg." She started to panic. "How does mama expect me to stand around here doing nothing while my brother is in the hospital! There's no way I'm staying here" She picked up her bag and headed out for the bus to the hospital.

Mrs. Higurashi was sitting in a chair outside the recovery room, with her head in her hands when Kagome found her. "Mama" she said timidly. Mrs. Higurashi shot her head up and looked at Kagome. "Kagome, I thought I said I'd call you later."
Kagome sat beside her mother with pleading eyes. "Mama what's wrong? What happened to Souta?"
Tears began to well up in Mrs. Higurashi's eyes. "His classmates still won't say what totally happened, but the end result is that a part of the back segment of his brain has been damaged."
"Oh no!" Kagome's hand shot to her mouth. "Omg no, no, not Souta" she thought.
"It's curable."
Kagome relaxed a bit. "Thank god, that's good."
Mrs. Higurashi shook her head slightly. "It is, but they can't perform the procedure here. The knowledge is only available in Tokyo, not here.
Kagome stiffened up a bit. "Tokyo? But your going right? Please say your going!"
"Yes we're going, your father's life insurance gave us enough money so that we can, but we'll be gone for so long and I'm don't want you to miss out on your summer vacation, so
you won't be coming with."
Kagome's face whitened. "What! What are you talking about! I don't want to stay here
while Souta is sick!"
"You won't be."
Kagome looked surprised. "But you just said..."
"You still need to enjoy your summer. You can't take care of the shrine all by yourself though, we're going to have to close it up for a while and get someone to watch it."
Kagome's tears started to pour from her eyes. "B…But, where am I going to go? All my friends are gone!"
Mrs. Higurashi gave Kagome a small smile. "Don't worry, actually, I thought it would be a good idea for you to get out of the city for the summer and enjoy yourself. There's an old friend of mine who lives up in the countryside of the lower part of Hokkaido. I haven't talked to her since college, but she said that if I ever wanted to pop in, I could without delay."
Kagome's mouth was gaping. The country? Sure she had been out there, but to a place where she knew no one? And while Souta was in the hospital? Normally she would take advantage of a new challenge, but how could she while she was worrying about Souta?
"Mrs. Higurashi?"
The doctor had appeared at their side. "Yes?" Mrs. Higurashi inquired as she stood up, drying her eyes.
"Your son is going to be perfectly fine. He's still unconscious, but perfectly stable. In the morning we will be flying you and your father out to Tokyo for treatment. He's lucky though, not as much damage as expected. He'll recover quickly and be perfectly normal. You have nothing to worry about."
They both sighed. "Thank you doctor. That's wonderful." Mrs. Higurashi said and the doctor smiled as he turned away. "See Kagome, he'll be fine, now, I want you to enjoy yourself."
"But Mama….."
"No buts. I'll update you and you'll see that you have nothing to worry about. Just keep your chin up. You know your brother wouldn't want you to have a horrible vacation due to him."
Kagome sighed in defeat. Her mother had that look on her face that said "It's final!"
She would just have to enjoy it the best she could.
