Chapter 1

Hi my name is Kagome Hiragashi and I a doctor that was chosen to go Kuwait and help the soldiers in the war. I am now packing to go because my flight leaves tonight.

"Kagome?" asked Sota as he walked into her room.

"Oh, hi, Sota what is it?"

"Well I wanted to tell you that I am going to miss you."

"I know you will but don't worry I will come home soon, but you know that our country needs me to help the soldiers."

"I know but why do you have to go and not some other person and what if you get hurt or killed or something?"

"OK Sota listen first of all I am not going to die and it is a great honor to go help out the war. Understand?"

"Yeah," he said with a sad look.

"Look I will be fine, now help me bring down my bags to the van," she said lifting his chin.

"OK"

"Oh also here," she said as they walked down the stairs with the bags in their hands. She handed him half of a locket.

"What's this?"

"Oh that is a special picture but only look at it when you start to miss me, OK."

"OK," said Sota as he watched Kagome give her mother and grandfather a kiss and a hug good bye and put here bags on to the van, which would take her to the airport.

As she was leaving she opened the window and showed Sota the other half of the locket and shouted, "this is how we are going to be connected so don't worry!"

But before he could shout anything back the van was already gone and out of his sight.



After the ride in the van Kagome arrived at the airport. There she met some other doctors and nurses that were headed to Kuwait also.

Once they were on the plane and in the air Kagome looked out the window and tried to make pictures out of the clouds. But the only picture that came up was her family. After a couple of hours of reading she sent down her book and slept for the rest of the ride.

Once they landed in Kuwait Kagome saw a man with a sign that read Hiragashi.

"Why hello Miss Hiragashi, did you enjoy your flight?" said the man with the cardboard sign.

"Yeah I slept most of the way," she said as they walked into a parking lot and walked up to a black car.

"Well that's great I hope that you are going to enjoy your stay here and that you makes some new friends," he said as gave her a big smile and he opened the car door and let her in. "By the way my name is Hojo."

(Do not worry I will get ride of him soon just because I really hate him)

"Well hello Hojo my name is Kagome," she said as she shook the boys hand.

Once she did this Hojo began to blush.

To the ride to the hospital Hojo just kept on talking but Kagome could not hear a thing that he was saying and just sat there wondering what was happening at home. But she was soon interrupted by a loud screech and would have banged into a glass window if the seatbelt did not catch her first.

"Were here," he said.

"Thank you" said Kagome sarcastic like.

"Know Kagome from here you go to the main office and they will tell you were to go."

"OK."

"Also Kagome will you go out with me sometime you know when you are not busy?"

"Well I don't know."

"Please"

"I will think about it," she said as she closed the car door and began to walk through the double doors. "Not," she said as she say him drive away.

Once she got into the hospital she went to the front desk. "Hello?"

"Oh, be with you in a minute," said an old lady as Kagome looked over to find her organizing files.

"Hello my name is Kaede and I am the main secretary here. How may I help you?"
"Well," said Kagome as she looked at the old lady who had a patch on one of her eyes. "See I am the new doctor here my name is Kagome Hiragashi."

"Oh, yes Kagome huh, we have been expecting you come this way," she said as she started to walk down a narrow hall.
