"So, I was thinking you and I could pay a visit to Twilfitt and Tattings."
Kagome glanced over at Draco and stared for a moment, "why would we do that? Not that I have a problem with the dynamic and humorous duo, but I have a dynamic and humorous duo at school here that doesn't involve me having to travel to Diagon Alley."
Draco nodded, "true, but where else will you get your dress robes?"
"Dress Robes?" Kagome laughed, "I'm a third year, Draco...the Yule Ball is for fourth and up."
"Yes, but younger students are allowed to attend too, provided an older student invites them." Draco took her hand in his and pulled her up against him, "pays to have a boyfriend in fourth year, huh?"
Kagome laughed, "sure does! I had it in my head that since I was a third year, you would end up having to ask another girl...or go alone...and Malfoy's don't attend festivities alone."
Smiling, Draco leaned in and kissed Kagome on the nose before pulling back, he tilted his head a bit and frowned, "what's that?"
Kagome looked down to where his eyes were looking, and lifted the pink bauble into her hand. A crystal sphere...the very one she had found in her mother's Apothecary Chest earlier. "It's...called the Shikon no Tama...ever heard of it before?"
"No, why?" He brushed his fingers over the jewel, looking at the swirls of white and pink inside, as he held it a bit closer to his face. "It's pretty...looks cute on you." He smiled, pulling back and taking her hand in his once more.
"My mom...she looked after it before. She was...the previous Guardian of the Shikon no Tama. Or that's what the letter said..."
"Letter?"
Kagome nodded and dipped her free hand into her pocket before revealing a folded piece of parchment, handing it over to Draco as she thought back to a couple hours ago.

Kagome stared at the paper in her hands, "this must be some sick joke." Kagome closed her eyes and tried to force her tears at bay. Unfolding the letter, she read it silently to herself.
Dearest Kagome,
Let me start by letting you know just how much I love you, and just how much I'm sorry that I'm not able help you out in the ways you may need me to. Less than a year ago, the Dark Lord fell, brought down by a child, no less...yet still, I tell you this. He will be back, Kagome. He will be back, and he will come for you. You hold the strongest form of magic, within the Shikon no Tama. The souls of all the Shikon's previous Guardians, are held within its crystal sphere, and with that, so will lie mine. Please fear not...
When you are born, I will be blessed with the vision of you, and so happy will I be, never doubt that. There is no greater love in me than that which I have for you and your father. Even though you are not yet born, you are still the world to me, and for the world, there is nothing I wouldn't give.
With all of this, I must explain to you just how dangerous the jewel can be. For should it fall into the wrong hands, it can gift those hands with the most evil of magic, the darkest of abilities, and an unlimited amount of power.
This is your job, Kagome. You must never let it fall into the hands of evil...for the Shikon no Tama can grant anyone a wish, and should that wish be impure, the Shikon will be tainted, and the Magical World will fall into chaos. However, should the Jewel ever be destroyed...the Guardian's Cycle...will be destroyed, and the light of the Shikon no Tama will too...cease to exist.
Saying this will be moot, but I'm most likely not of the living world anymore if you are reading this...but my heart is always with you, and my soul is forever watching over you.
Love Always,
Mom
P.S. Tell Charlie that I love him, and miss him dearly, for no matter how long I've been gone, I'm sure that I do!
It was all in all, a very informative letter, and Kagome had to bury her face in her pillow to try and stop her tears, but she couldn't seem to get them to stop. No matter what she did, shaking her head, rubbing her eyes, the tears wouldn't cease, and she was forced to sit there on her bed for another fifteen minutes before finally standing and putting back all of the jewelry she'd pulled out. Grabbing a simple chain, she ran it through the jewel and pulled it around her neck before straightening her robes and walking to the bathroom to wash her face.
It was after she was more presentable, she'd left and only a few moments later thereafter, found Draco searching the halls for her.

"So...we should probably not let father see it...or you-know-who..." Draco folded the paper back up, still eyeing the parchment critically as he thought over the words he'd read. Kagome was beside him, also staring at the paper, the more lost in thought than actually looking at the parchment he held. His eyes lingered on the jewel, as if trying to comprehend such a powerful and dangerous artifact in the hands of the Dark Lord.
Kagome nodded, "I would rather it not find its way into any hands that would produce negative feelings, so...I decided to give it to someone for safe keeping...for a while..."
"To who?"
Kagome smiled, "it's a secret, I trust you with everything, Draco, but I don't want anyone using Legilimency on you and finding out."
Draco nodded, "that makes sense...but what if they use it on you?"
"That leads me to our next topic."
Draco frowned, "I feel like I'm going to regret this...but what?"
Kagome pulled him around the corner and out of earshot as a group of Ravenclaw girls made their way by. "Occlumency lesson's from Snape...What say you?"
