Title: A Second Jewel?
Chapter 1: Pre-Story: The Crash
Her name was Hitomi. Normal height for a 15 year old, she had just below shoulder length black hair with two red highlights on each side. She looked a lot like Kagome, but that was natural seeing how they were cousins. Hitomi Higurashi (their father's were brothers) lived in the city next to Tokyo, Japan. Kagome and Hitomi were very close, they exchanged phone calls often, complained to each other about exams and boy problems, but one day, Hitomi was going shopping with her parents and her little sister Naomi. They were about to enter the highway, crossing a big and busy intersection when.
~~!!CRASH!!~~
Hitomi's car and some runaway burglar's car collided with a great crash. There were police and ambulance sirens all over the place.
*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&
'Where am I?' wondered Hitomi, as she slowly opened her eyes to see that she was lying in an unfamiliar place, a bed, and that smell, that smell was oh so familiar, it was on the tip of her tongue. 'The hospital.' Hitomi thought, as she tried to back track through her memories to see how she ended up in the hospital with a cast on her left arm and painful spots aching all over her body. 'Okay, yesterday.' she thought. 'Yesterday, or at least I think it was yesterday, I was at school doing my horrid history exam, no, that can't be why I'm here, I remember taking a shower and going to sleep. Today. what happened today? ARGH! I can't remember!!!' Just then, Naomi walked into the room.
"Hey sis, how are you doing?" whispered Naomi. "Finally awake I see." she then sat down into a chair and she was drinking a cup of water with a blank but neutral expression on her face.
"Na-Naomi, what happened?" Hitomi asked her sister with a band-aid on her forehead and a few scars on her arms and legs.
"I've been awake for a few hours already. My memory's kind of blurry also. Wait. I'll be right back. The doctor lady said I should tell her when you are awake. Don't worry. I'll be right back." replied Naomi.
'Okay, I'm in the hospital, I have injuries, Naomi seems okay, but I still don't know why I'm here. And where's mom and dad?!' thought Hitomi with great fear.
A few minutes later the doctor entered the room with Naomi.
"Hello. I'm Doctor Jennifer. How are you feeling . Hitomi?" asked Dr. Jennifer. Who paused when she was looking for the patients name on the clipboard.
"I'm okay. A little confused, but okay physically. What happened?" Hitomi said, while straining to sit up on her hospital bed.
"Naomi, why don't you go to the desk down the hall and ask for some... err.. special juice?. And make sure you tell the lady there you want SPECIAL juice or else it'll taste like water, okay?" Dr. Jennifer asked Naomi.
"Okay!" said Naomi, as she hopped out of her chair and half skipped half waked out the door to the main desk down the hall.
Dr. Jennifer closed the door.
"Hitomi, your sister, how old is she?" inquired the doctor.
"She's nine, turning ten in a month." replied Hitomi.
"Special juice is just code to keep little kids busy. Hitomi, you were in a car crash earlier today at noon. It is now about three in the afternoon. Your younger sister and you are expected a full recovery." said Dr. Jennifer in a very nice, calm, soothing voice. She continued, "We got your family information from your wallets just in case you were wondering."
"Uh. okay." responded Hitomi. 'She's not telling me something. I just know it.' thought Hitomi. "Where are my mother and father? Are they okay? You haven't mentioned them. Why aren't they here?"
"A melancholic expression appeared on Dr. Jennifer's face. I honestly don't know how to tell you. This is why I didn't tell your sister and this is why she had to leave the room." Started Dr. Jennifer.
'No.' Thought Hitomi. 'No! It can't be!'
"Your parents, uh, they didn't', survive the crash. I'm so sorry. I thought that I should tell you in private and you, being Naomi's older sister and all, should tell Naomi." said Dr. Jennifer, with extreme sadness in her voice and blue eyes."
Dr. Jennifer came over to the side of the bed and hugged Hitomi and she just cried and sobbed in Dr. Jennifer's arms.
"How could this happen?" Hitomi sobbed. "What are Naomi and I going to do? Where are we going to go?" *cries* *sobs* *sniffs*
"Well, the secretary researched your parent's will and do you have a cousin with the last name . Higurashi?"
"Yeah, they're I Tokyo. Our families are very close." *sniffs*
"The will said that you would be in full custody of that family. Once again, I am very sorry for ---"
Just then, Naomi walked into the room.
"I didn't want special juice so I asked the lady for apple juice." said Naomi, as she was finishing off the last drops in her cup. She looked up at her sister.
"Sis, what's wrong?" she asked, as she put down her cup on the desk and sat on her sister's bed.
Dr. Jennifer left the room just after patting Hitomi on the shoulder.
"Sis, what's wrong, why are you crying?" Naomi asked again. "Did Dr. Jennifer tell you where mom and dad are?"
"Naomi, can you be a strong girl for your older sister?"
Naomi nodded. "Why?" she asked.
Hitomi hugged Naomi with her one uncasted arm and held her close.
"Do you remember when Ruffles [a/n: their dog] *gulp*. left us?" Hitomi started, still crying and sobbing, holding Naomi closer with every word.
"Uh. Yeah. What does that have to do with mom and dad?" asked Naomi. She was beginning to figure it out, but she didn't want to believe it. "Are they okay? Where are they? Why aren't they at the hospital with us? Sis why are you crying?!"
"Naomi, I. don't know what to say."
"Just tell me where mom and dad are!" yelled Naomi as water began to trickle from her small green eyes.
"Mom and dad. Mom and dad." Hitomi just couldn't say it.
"C'mon, spit it out!" urged Naomi.
"Mom and dad are with Ruffles." Hitomi blurted out.
"You mean."
Hitomi nodded as Naomi put her arms around Hitomi and started crying uncontrollably. Hitomi explained how they were going to live at their cousin's house in Tokyo and how everything was going to be okay and they were going to get over it. Or at least that is what she had hoped.
*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&
Kagome, Sota, their grandpa and their mom came to the hospital to visit a day later and gave them a drive to their house so Hitomi and Naomi could pack and move to their house after their parent's funeral.
At the funeral it was very quiet. Sota comforted Naomi, as Kagome comforted Hitomi while losing against a fight to hold back tears. Kagome's mom and grandpa also cried very strongly. It was a long day.
A/N: Such a sad story. The first chapter is finally done. I think I'll make the second chapter a little about the pre-story, but just with the part where Kagome tells her friends in Sengoku Jidai [did I spell that right?]. Anyways. R&R. I'll accept ALL criticism (Even the bad, it won't hurt me!). I'll accept flames etc. So read, suggest and enjoy! I promise I'll try to make the other chapters . less tragic and more humour-full! *Winks*. byby!
