Chapter 7
the walk around the village and meeting an old friend
After Kagome drooped off the bento's she decided to walk around the village to think on what she wanted to do and what to do about sota, so far no solution seems to pop up to her.
As she waking she paused as she saw a flower store called Yamanaka flower shop, kagome walked in and saw many beautiful flowers she decided to get Gardenias,red tulips,Gladiolus and iris as she went to the cash register she notice a man with long dirty blond hair, tan skin, and blue eyes, he looked up and smiled at her," hello I'm Inoichi Yamanaka how can I help you" Kagome smiled back and said "hello I would like to get these please."
As Inoichi was ringing up the young woman's order he couldn't help but analyzed her, for he has never seen her before until today, when he was looking he stopped at her eyes, he knew those eyes. He looked back at the register while casually saying "You know your eyes remind me of someone, you wouldn't happened to be related to Ken Higurashi are you?" he looked back at her after saying that and saw the shock in her expression.
Kagome couldn't help but be shocked at this man's question but then smiled a small sad smile while saying "yeah, he was my father,I'm sorry where are my manners my name is Kagome Higurashi, I thought maybe I'd take these flowers to his grave as soon as I figure out where it is." she laughed a little at the last bit and heard a chuckle from Inoichi "I figured you might be related to him because of the eyes I just didn't think you were his daughter."
"Yeah apparently nobody knows about me and my little brother sota, we just got here yesterday the only one who apparently knew about us was the third and forth hokage, by the way do you know where the cemetery is at?" kagome asked she had been meaning to ask the hokage where it is at but never got around to it.
Inoichi looked at kagome with kind and understanding eyes while saying "there is a Memorial Stone near training ground seven, there is where your father and his clan's are on it." kagome bowed "thank you so much." she stood and was about to reach for her purse to pay for the flowers, but Inoichi stopped her by shaking his head while saying "this one is on the house beside your father was one of my very good friends, so if you need anything just come to me if I'm not on missions and I'll try to help as much as I can."
Kagome smiled "thank you, I'll remember this always." after that kagome walked out to the memorial stone and found her father's name, she put the flowers on the gound and prayed, 'momma, pappa, gramps everyone please watch over sota and I' she prayed a little while more asking for guidance and strength, asking for a solution about what to do about sota.
Kagome got up and looked at the sky seeing how the sun is she would guess its almost time for the academy kids to be going home, she looked over her shoulder to the memorial stone and thought 'don't worry guys hopefully the answers will come to me' with that she flashed to the academy startling some of the parents that were already there, she chuckled nervously while rubbing the back of her head.
As the bell rang signaling the end of the academy day she looked for her brother and naruto when she spotted them coming out of the door "SOTA NARUTO!" she yelled while waving them over naruto grin and waved back while sota just sighed, when they both got over there kagome pulled both in a hug then turned them turareds home, the group never noticing the stares or whispers around them about them, especialy one stare of sasuke uchiha, he was looking at them with envious as he thought about the one man and clinched his hands, sasuke turned away with a "che" and started to walk home.
Kagome was walking between naruto and sota as she listened to them talk about there day at the academy, when they were about a mile from the Higurashi compound, kagome felt it, a demotic signature she haven't felt since going to the feudal era, looking to the right she didn't notice she stop walking just kept looking to the right feeling the aura getting closer and closer.
Naruto kept walking not noticing kagome stopped walking til he noticed she wasn't next to or talking, he looked back and saw her looking to the right of the woods, "hey kagome-nee what are you looking at?" Sota who was quiet looked back at naruto words and saw kagome with a look he hasn't seen since she got back from the past.
Both sota and naruto ran back to her and reach for there weapon when, kagome stopped them by placing her hands on there shoulder stopping them, the bushes in front of them Russel and a bloody cat came out. Kagome stood shock as she looked at the cat that haven't noticed them yet, she slowly walked forward "kirara?", the cat looked up and it's eyes widened "mew...mew!" kirara ran forward as best as she could with her injures and jumped in her friends arms purring in happiness and contempt.
Kagome opened her arms when kirara ran toward her and held her close to her chest she never thought she would see her friend from the past here of all places, "kirara what are you doing here, how did you get here?" Kirara mewed and lifted her head for kagome to see a summoning scroll attached to the neko demon's neck, she took it and saw it glow for a second, she would open it later right now her friend needed to get healed.
Kagome lifted her right hand and called her miko powers to the front and started to heal kirara's wounds, once all the wounds were held she asked "kirara do you want to come with me and be my partner like how we were in the past?" Kirara mewed and nodded her head.
Naruto couldn't stay quiet and asked "um kago-nee how do you know this weird cat and all?" Kagome smiled and said "it's a long story" after she said naruto shrugged and they continued home with a new addition to the family while Kagome thought 'wonder how everything will turn out now.'
