Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha.

Thanks everyone for the reviews and I don't really have anything to say, except that Kagome is an only child. She doesn't have a brother, but she has a father instead. Well, at least she did have a father. Plz keep on reviewing!

"Hello?" Kagome said.

"Kagome, something terrible happened!"

"Aunt Sakuno? What happened?!" Kagome asked in a very worried tone.

"Your...parents...they...had a car accident...and they...died."

Kagome dropped the phone.

Lost, that was the word that described Kagome the best.

Falling For the Light Ch.2: Moving

"Miss Higurashi?" Someone called out.

"Huh? Oh, I'm sorry. I guess I spaced out. Please continue," Kagome said.

"Well, you said that you wanted a low-priced, yet nice funeral, am I correct?" The funeral planner said.

"Yes, you're correct," Kagome said.

"Well, the cheapest we have is for...$500. It comes in a very nice package," The planner said while looking through papers of prices of funerals.

"Okay, we'll take it. As long as it's a decent funeral, we'll okay with it," Sakuno said.

"Okay then. I'll give you papers showing what comes in that package and if you agree just sign on the line below. You can come back tomorrow to return the papers," The planner said and stood up from his seat.

"Thank you very much," Kagome and Sakuno said at the same time.

"No problem. We're happy to help out," The planner said. "Have a nice day," He said when they headed out the door.

'How can you?' Kagome thought immediately after the planner said, "have a nice day." (A/N: For all you people who don't know, they were at the funeral planner place thingy.)

She had been very upset the past days, but who wouldn't? If you just found out you were alone in the world, wouldn't you be upset?

"Kagome, have you found out who you want to live with?" Sakuno said.

Kagome had been living with her aunt for the past days, but her aunt was planning to move so Kagome had to pick a place to stay or else she might have to go with her aunt.

"Well, I think my friend, Sango, will let me stay with her," Kagome said.

"Oh, Kagome, you're so young. How are you going to live? You don't have a job or anything. Why don't you reconsider living with me?" Sakuno said in a worried tone.

"It's alright, aunt Sakuno. I can get myself a job, and it won't be that bad, and plus, it'll will give me a chance to be more responsible and independence," Kagome lied. She knew that it wouldn't be easy.

"...If you say so, but just call me if you need anything. I'll only live a few hours away from here, but I'll visit often," Sakuno said. "Let's go to your house and plan what we're going to do."

The two got in Sakuno's car and drove off.

They arrived and went into the house silently.

Kagome looked around the place, remembering memories of her parents, the good times and bad. Tears begged to flow down Kagome's cheeks, but she held them back. She would be strong, no matter what.

"...Kagome dear, are you alright?" Sakuno said, concern in her eyes.

"I'm fine," Kagome said.

The two sat down on the living room couch.

"Kagome, are you positive you don't want to come with me?" Sakuno said.

"...I am, 100% sure," Kagome said and added a smile to help her aunt feel reassured.

Sakuno sighed. "...Alright, Kagome, I give in. Why don't you go call your friend and explain the situation?"

"Okay," Kagome said and stood up. "I'll be right back." Kagome went upstairs into her room, and dialed Sango's number on her cordless phone.

~

"Thanks so much, Sango. You're the best."

"No problem, that's what friends are for."

"I'll see you soon," Kagome said and hung up.

~

"Come on in," Sango said.

Kagome and her aunt, Sakuno, arrived at Sango's apartment (Yes, she has an apartment, a very big one, if I might add.) with bags, luggage, and all sorts of things.

They entered and Sakuno took a look around. "Well, this is a very nice apartment, Sango," Sakuno said.

"Thank you, Sakuno," Sango said.

"Kagome, do you think you can unpack by yourself?" Sakuno asked.

"I can manage it," Kagome answered.

"Okay, I'll leave so you can unpack. I'll come see you tomorrow and don't worry about the papers for the funeral. I'll take care of it," Sakuno said.

"Okay, I'll see you later," Kagome said.

Sakuno left the apartment, but not without saying a goodbye to Kagome.

Kagome sat down on Sango's living room couch and sighed.

"Kagome, you must be tired. Why don't you go take a nap?" Sango said while taking a seat next to Kagome.

"No, I'm okay. I think I want to go unpack," Kagome said and stood up.

"Can I help?"

"If you want," Kagome said.

"Okay, let's go into your new room,"

The girls entered an empty room with a medium sized bed in the middle and a window. They settled Kagome's things on the bed and started unpacking.

~

"We finally finished," Kagome said. "Thanks for the help, Sango."

"It's no big deal," Sango said.

*Ding Dong*

*Ding Dong*

"Oh, I forgot that I have company coming over," Sango said.

"Who's coming over?"

"Just a couple of friends."

*Ding Dong*

*Ding Dong*

Sango and Kagome went out of the room and answered the door.

"Kagome, meet...
