Kagome mulled over the recent developments as she made her way to school. Something finally was happening in her life. She felt she was slowly piecing herself together with every supernatural event.
She really tried to live a normal life, but her normal was no longer so mundane. No one understood that. Her family could only grasp so much.
But Shuichi and Yukina...They offered the consolation she needed. They reminded her that she didn't have to pretend to be someone she was not. Now Shippo is here and from what he said, the other yokai of her past are still alive too.
She watched as a fiery redhead walked through the school gates with much in her mind.
