Chapter 2: Memories Rekindled
Kagome had many thoughts rushing through her head as she walked through the streets after school. She had been held after for detention for being late. She was made to stay behind and was given extra work to finish before she could leave.
She thought about the stranger she had met earlier. His name was Nick, and when she saw him earlier, she remembered him from her childhood.
Just then she stopped walking as her friends ran up to her. She had told Nick to meet him at a nearby café, but since she was in detention, she had sent her friends to tell him she would be late.
"Kagome, we just talked to that guy you told us to meet. He said he would just wait for you." One of her friends said. "So who is he, and what about Hojo? We need answers!"
Kagome told her friends that there was nothing going on between her and Hojo, but here's the story of her and Nick.
~~FLASHBACK SEQUENCE~~
It had been 5 years since Kagome had seen Nick. He had lived right next door to her. He had move there when Kagome was 7, and he was 9. Kagome had come over with her family to help welcome the neighbors and help them out. Kagome had been helping Nick unload his stuff, when she noticed that he was into a lot of the same stuff she was. The both like the bands "The Great White Elves Of Faith" and "The Magical Dragons Of The Heavens". They were sort of rock/pop bands.
Ever since then, Kagome and Nick were friends. They would always watch the show "Space Adventurers", and they would always end the show with "May our paths cross again in the future". Everyone was happy, until that cold, gray day.
It was a few days before Christmas. Nick's parents had decided to go on a vacation, just the two of them. Nick was going to stay with Kagome. She was 10, he was 12.
The day before Christmas, the family had decided to watch a little TV. When they turned on the TV, they heard on the news that there was an accident. Apparently, a chemical truck had slipped on the ice and turned over, and cars had piled into it. Finally, the truck exploded, causing 24 deaths and no survivors. Then, they found out that Nick's parents were in the explosion. Nick looked depressed, then quietly walked away to the guest room, shut the door, and locked it.
Kagome worried about Nick all night. She felt bad for him, since he lost his parents, and right before Christmas, too. Finally, she settled down and went to bed.
The next morning, it was Christmas day. When Kagome woke up, there was a folded piece of paper and a small, wrapped box on the nightstand next to her bed. She picked up the letter and started to read it.
The letter was from Nick. It said that he had left, and wasn't sure if he was coming back. Since his parents had just died, he decided that life was too short, and that he was going to travel the world. It also said he hoped Kagome liked her gift. He had bought it with the rest of his allowance. The letter ended with "May our paths cross again in the future".
Kagome set the letter down, and picked up the small box. She hesitated for a second, then slowly unwrapped it. She opened the box, and inside was a gold necklace. At one end was an almost completely spherical diamond, about as big as a small marble. Inside the diamond was a picture of Kagome, and the other side was a picture of Nick. The was also a bracelet, which was gold, too. It said on one side "best friends forever".
Kagome was stunned. She thought either the jewelry had been stolen or fake, since she figured no 12 year old kid had that kind of money.
The next day, when the stores were open, Kagome and her family went down to the mall and found out that the diamond and the gold were completely real. The diamond had been cut in half, and the pictures were stuck together inside, and the diamond was stuck back together.
Kagome was stunned again. At the jewelry, and that Nick would get her such an expensive gift. She wished that she could have seen him one last time, so that she could say goodbye.
~~END FLASHBACK~~
Kagome's friends just stood there, stunned. They never knew about any of this. They had almost reached the café, so they decided to leave Kagome alone.
Kagome had never worn the jewelry from Nick. It reminded her too much of him. It was stored away in her closet.
She stood a few steps from the door, unsure if she could face him again. Finally, she got up the courage and opened the door.
