Kagome cleaned up the mess they had made and helped out the rest of cleaning so they could get out and go home early. When she went to grab her coat and purse the manager gave her an envelop.

"What is this?" Kagome asked,

"Santa told me to give you this," the manager explained, Kagome stuck it in her purse and left.


At Kagome's Place

Kagome went and started a bath, then remembered the envelop. She went to her purse, she grabbed the envelop out and took her kitchen knife to open it. She blinked a couple of times, inside had been over $500. She didn't have a clue as to why she had gotten this, she finally just chalked it up to her tip, the other waitress probably got the same amount. She took her clothes off and threw them into the dirty clothes hamper and walked back to the bathroom and turned the water off, she soaked in the water, she had tried to clear her mind of everything that had happened tonight, but that Christmas memory with her second family left her feeling like crap. She washed up and quickly got out, she dried off and went to her room to put some pajamas on. She didn't have anything to study since it was Christmas break but she decided to pick up one of her books for the next semester and started reading the first three chapters and taking notes on what she read, she eventually passed out. Someone with long silver hair perched on her balcony and watched over her,

"She has been too rough on herself," a familiar voice whispered in the night air.
