Chapter Twenty Nine - Toshikoshi Soba

George was once again at the Higurashis. Kagome was better from whatever disease she got (with occasional slips, but nothing serious) and was spending the last day of the year making noodles. New Year's Noodles (Toshikoshi soba), as she said.

Men were banned from the kitchen so he and Souta were together to find something to do. They played outside with snowballs until it got too cold, then videogames. In the afternoon, Grandpa Higurashi asked for help to prepare the shrine for the visitors next day.

"You look drained, Kagome-chan." Said Mama Higurashi in the dinner. They are eating the soba Kagome and Mama prepared. His memory went back when he had his first dinner with Kaagome and didn't knew how to use chopsticks. After five months of private lessons, he was now a pro.

"I'm just tired, kaa-chan. Work have been very stressful with the holidays. George uses his magic to force me to only rest when I'm home."

"Do you already know, onee-chan?"

"I always did, Souta. The Ministry came for me just after I got back for good."

"Why you never mentioned it, child?" Asked Grandpa Higurashi.

"It wasn't important, JiJi. Back then, we weren't dealing with wizards in a daily basis. And you didn't told me either."

"We thought that after…" Mama Higurashi seemed to be looking for the right words.

"I already know, Higurashi-san." he reached Kagome's hand and kissed it. "Kagome told everything." The other three Higurashis first gave the couple a surprised then a relieved look.

"After you finished the Jewel, it would be good for you to be away from these things."

"All shrines with ancient relics are registered in the ministry" said Grandpa. "They have to keep all magic things in check."

"Makes sense." Murmured George and Kagome.

They waited until midnight to hear the bells of a neighbor buddhist temple. George dreamed that night with Fred. Not a sad dream but a very happy one, as if they meet again after so long separated. He woke with a bittersweet sensation.
