Getting Ready for Summer

It was morning in Kaede's Village when everyone woke up and started their day. Inuyasha went out to search for lurking demons nearby, Shippo went to practice on his transformation arts, Miroku went out to flirt with more girls, and Sango went with Kohaku to train more in the fields. Kagome was outside with Kaname checking for some bandages for a cut she got from cutting carrots. "Oh darn, I'm running out of bandages. I need to get some more and some antibiotics." Kagome said while bending down rummaging through her backpack. She stood up and said to Kaname, "I'm going home to get some things. If anyone asks, tell them I've gone home and be back for a few minutes." "Okay, will do." Kaname replied nodding. Kagome nodded and ran towards the Bone-Eater's Well.

Something popped into her head. "Oh, that's right. I got to get some things too. I need my change of clothes instead of this Hakama." She said while looking at her white shirt and long, baggy, red pants. "But first I got to tell Inuyasha that I'm going to get some stuff." She ran towards the outskirts of the village running past the villagers. Once she was in the outskirts, she saw Inuyasha checking the area for demons. "Inuyasha!" she called walking towards him. He turned to her saying, "What?" "I'm going back home to get some things and Kagome went to get more medical supplies." She told him waiting for his reply. "Okay, then but be quick. Who knows what we'll happen." He said watching in the corner of his eyes for approaching demons. "Ok, I'll be back." She walked over to the village and found a good spot to do her return spell.

"Okay, this is a good spot." She told herself looking at the field covered in flowers and trees. "Okay, then, how was it again? Oh, I know!" She clasped her hands together and closed her eyes shut. 'Here goes nothing.' "Oh, flame burning bright, help me go back to the place where I was born." She chanted as the Shikigami mark swirled around her glowing red. The whole area glowed red with the sound was louder. The glow stopped as she opened her eyes to see she was in the Kururugi Shrine. "I'm home." She said looking around the old shrine. She slid the door open and walked outside to see her house standing tall. "I'm home again." She said walking up towards her house. The back door slid open to reveal her mom running down the steps and running towards her with open arms. "Oh, Kaname, where have you been? We've been so worried." She cried into her shoulder as her dad came out as well and walked towards them.

"I'm sorry that I worried you, Mom. I was at my friend's house helping and talking with her." She lied while looking at her mom. "Oh, you mean Kagome Higarashi you've rescued from the hoodlums? It's a good thing she got a friend like you, Kaname. How's she doing?" Dad asked with Mom pulled away from the hug and stood beside him smiling. "She's doing well, Dad." She replied back. "Good, good." He said nodding. "Anyway, dear, have you heard the news? It seems that we are invited to spend the summer at an elegant hotel in Okinawa. Isn't it amazing?" Mom said with her eyes sparkled at the thought of it. 'If they go away for the summer, then I could spend my time with Inuyasha and the others.' She thought in her head. "Really, that's great!" she exclaimed happy for them. "You know we can't, dear." Dad told Mom. "Huh? Why not?" she asked surprised. "We can't leave Kaname alone by herself. We need to get her to be with someone we trust." He told her straight out.

"Who can we call? Everyone is busy and that means we can't go to Okinawa." Mom told him while Kaname thought. "I know! Why don't I stay at Kagome's house?" she suggested happily. "Kagome's house?" they both questioned. "Yes, if I go there, you can spend the summer together while I'll be with Kagome at her house." "I don't know." Dad said thinking hard. "Come on, Dad. Think of this as your second honeymoon, you get to relax from all of your temple duties and the stress you have every day. And you don't need to think about me, when I'm over at Kagome's." she explained with her Mom nodding. "She's right, Hun! Let Kaname stay at Kagome's and we'll go to Okinawa." She pleaded Dad. "Oh, alright, but first, Kaname pack your bags for the stay and we'll go over there and meet the Higarashi family." He told them as Mom and Kaname squealed happily. "Thanks, Dad!" she exclaimed hugging him tightly before running into the house and up to her room. She packed her brown backpack with all the things she'll need in the Feudal Era and she changed from her Hakama into her regular school uniform when she first came to the Feudal Era. She packed extra clothing like the Hakama and her summer clothes.

"Oh, yeah, I got to call Kagome!" she said while pulling out her cell. She dialed the phone number and listened to it ring. The phone picked, "Hello, Higarashi Residence." A woman's voice answered. "Hello is Kagome there?" she asked fingering her skirt. "Yes, hold on, please." She waited for a few moments before she heard Kagome's voice say, "Hello?" "Kagome, it's me, Kaname." She said zipping her bag. "Kaname, is this you? Aren't you in the Feudal Era?" she questioned surprised. "Yes, but I forgot some things at home that I need to bring. I told Inuyasha that we're going home to get some things and I went back home. My parents got an invite to a hotel in Okinawa and are going to spend their summer there." She explained walking around the room. "That's great!" she replied happy. "But there is one problem." "What is it?" "My parents want me to be with someone they trust for the summer and I told them that I could be with you at your house for time being. So, they are going to your house and ask and check to see if I get to be there for the summer." "So, your parents are coming here to see if we're responsible to leave you here?" "In that way, yes." "Okay, I'll tell Mom and Grandpa about this, and I'll keep Souta not to mess up." "Alright, thanks Kagome." "No problem. Bye." The phone hung up as she hung up also.

She draped her backpack on her shoulder as she ran downstairs to see her parents waiting downstairs. "You sure seem excited, Kaname." Mom said looking at my expression and the backpack. "Yes, I am so excited." she replied smiling. "Why are you in your school uniform?" Dad asked curious at my attire. "It's much comfortable and I like to wear it." She explained rubbing the side of her face with her finger. "Okay, then, let's go." He said as we filed out and into the car. They drove till they found the Higarashi Shrine as they walked up to the house where they found Kagome's mom waving from the doorway. "Hello, welcome to our home." She welcomed them as she walked towards them. "So, you're Mrs. Higarashi, it's a pleasure to meet you. This is my husband, Mr. Kururugi, I'm Mrs. Kururugi, and this is my daughter, Kaname Kururugi." She introduced us pointing to each one of us. "Ah, Kaname, I heard so much of you from my daughter, Kagome." She said to me while shaking my hand firmly.

"Ah, Kaname!" Kagome called out as she ran over to us. "There you are!" She then turned to Dad and said, "Thank you so much for helping me, Mr. Kururugi." She bowed to him as he said, "Your welcome, Kagome. Well, Mrs. Higarashi, is it okay to you to let Kaname stay here with your daughter for the entire summer?" "You see we got an invitation to a hotel in Okinawa and we want our daughter, Kaname, to spend time with a friend like your daughter." Mom explained with Kagome's mom nodding. "Of course, it's okay. She's more than welcome to stay here with us." She replied smiling at them. "Thank you, Mrs. Higarashi." She thanked her while bowing. "Okay, then, it settles, Kaname, we'll be at Okinawa about two days, call us then." Dad said while giving me a goodbye hug. "Remember, sweetie, we'll call you as soon as we get there and remember to ask the Higarashi if there's a problem. Bye, baby!" she said as she gave me a swift kiss on the forehead and a hug. She ran after Dad as they got into their car and drove off.

I waved goodbye as I stopped and turned towards them. Kagome's Mom turned to Kagome and asked, "Kagome, you got the antibiotics and bandages you need for the Feudal Era?" She turned to her and answered, "Yes, Mom." "Wait, you know about the Feudal Era?" Kaname asked her mom shocked. "Of course" she answered calmly. "You see, my mom, knows about me going to the Feudal Era. So does Souta and Grandpa. You don't need to worry about keeping it a secret around them." Kagome explained with her mom nodding. "Yes, Kagome didn't tell me there was another girl like us going there until a few minutes ago when she told me she'll be staying with us for the summer." Her mom told her while Kagome rubbed her head in embarrassment. "Anyway, I'm done packing the bandages and antibiotics, so we'll head off." She told her mom turning towards her. "Okay, then, be careful, you two and come back sometime. If they call, I'll tell them that you're out hanging around downtown." "Thank you." Kaname said before running off with Kagome towards the well and her mom waving.

Kaname followed Kagome till they reached inside where they saw the well sitting in the middle of the room. "Is this the Bone-Eater's Well?" Kaname asked curious. "Yes, this is the well from Feudal Era. It's really, really old." She replied looking inside the well. "You ready?" "Yes, let's go." They both jumped as the well inside glowed bright blue. They jumped out of the well and saw Kaede's Village not too far from them. "That's amazing." She whispered looking back at the well. She nodded as she said, "Let's go find the others. I brought some homemade lunch that we could all eat." "Good idea." They ran towards Kaede's house to everyone waiting for them and they all ate lunch together with a lot of talking and laughing.
