Kagome opened her eyes. She was sitting in a pool of light, darkness surrounding her. It was an outside of body experience but not...somehow she was inside her mind.

"Kagome" came a young woman's voice.

Kagome looked around but found no one, but she wasn't scared, the voice was soft and comforting...

"Kagome...remember your family and friends...remember your dreams...your goals..."

Suddenly a hand surrounded by a soft glow appeared in the darkness. Upon its ring finger lay the exact same ring that Kagome wore. Kagome reached up her hand and grabbed onto the hand and felt herself rising into an enlightened tunnel. Suddenly bright light flashed before her and she was awake, really awake. The bright light of the hospital room made her eyes squint.

"Mom, Souta?!"

There was no reply.

"Mom, Souta!!" She said a little louder, while stretching her arms. But abruptly found herself wishing she hadn't. The bullet wound AND the miko wound was still engraved in her arm. Her mom came in and gave her a big hug and Souta slowly tagged behind with Buyo, their cat. Sango and Miroku followed and they quickly slammed the door behind them.

And then they all started talking at once.

"Kagome your like...."

"Man sis you are so lucky..."

"Honey I'm so proud..."

"Kag can you believe..."

"HOLD IT!!! One at a time plz...Mom you go first"

"Oh honey I'm so proud of you!" her mom gave her an Academy Award Winning smile.

"For what?" Kagome cocked her eyebrow.

"O, for saving the president of course"

"Right, mom it was nothing. What are you so proud of? I just added like another thousand to your medical bill!"

"Sango dear I think its best if you explain this to Kagome."

"Um ok Mrs.Higurashi...but first Kag, I need you to calm down and breathe in and promise you won't get mad at me for telling you this. K?"

Kagome sarcastically inhaled and exhaled.

"Ok I won't get mad at you now get to the point."

"The thing is Kagome, because you saved the president, you have become a national hero..."

"Nice joke Sango. Me a hero? Pshhh. Like I would be nationally-renown for taking a bullet for the president. And that reminds me why did you guys slam the do..."

Suddenly the door burst open. A bunch of black clad agents followed by the sound of a million cameras clicking came through the door. The agents slammed the door and all was quite again. Kagome stared wide eyed.

"What the heck..."

"Ms.Higurashi" from the middle of the group came the president followed by his two sons, Inuyasha and Sesshomaru. He stood in front of Kagome and bowed three times, a sign of great respect. Kagome was shocked; she abruptly lamely bowed five times while sitting on the bed and said, "Mr. President sir, I am just a simple girl, no need to bow, sir..."

"Ah but Kagome you saved my life. You do not know how grateful I am..." he paused and looked around.

"Will everyone plz go outside. I wish to speak to Ms. Higurashi alone."

Everyone eyed each other and slowly filed out of the room. The last one to leave slammed the door quickly.

"Now dear, I am grateful to you for saving my life..."

"Plz Mr. President I am but a humble school girl I do not deserve such...respect."

"O but you do Kagome, you do. If it wasn't for you I would not be here today. And to show you my gratitude I have placed you as a congresswoman in the Health/Medical department and if you want to, I can give you training on your powers."

Kagome's inside lurched. O how she wanted the job and the lessons, so much that she...didn't want it.

"But sir, I think there are others out there who deserve..."

Mr. Takashi silenced her with a look. "It would also plz me if you would join us in Tokyo Palace in the summer to spend the days with me and also you will be able to join Congress sessions." He gave her a warm smile. "Kagome, I don't know how to repay you, it would do me great pleasure if you would come and stay with us over the summer."

"If it does not hamper you sir, it shall be my greatest pleasure to stay at Tokyo Palace over the summer, and it would be my dream to serve as a congresswoman." Kagome let out a small smile.

Mr. Takashi let out a hearty laugh. "Also I would like you to meet my son, Inuyasha."

"Inuyasha!"

The door quickly opened and closed. In came a young man with long silver locks and amber eyes.

'Amber eyes, silver hair....where have I seen that...' thought Kagome.

"Hey, I'm Inuyasha Takashi." Inuyasha let out his hand for a friendly shake. Kagome smiled softly and shook his hand.

"Kagome Higurashi."

"You know what Kagome?? Why don't you start your lessons now Kagome."

Kagome looked at him with confused eyes.

"Look, I know you want to Kagome, I see it in your eyes. Inuyasha here takes lessons from Toutousai and so does Sesshomaru. Toutousai is the youkai/hanyou teacher in the Magic Academy. You would be studying with Lady Kaede, who teaches P.E at your school. I believe you will see Kikyo there too. Inuyasha here will take you with him everyday after school and on Saturdays to the Academy for 2 hr lessons..."

Inuyasha grimaced. 'Dang driving HER to lessons.'

Kagome made a face and thought of the many credits she needed to gain to achieve her secret dream. Mr. Takashi saw the face and inwardly smiled.

"This course of course gives credits. It's actually 5 credits per semester. The fee of course will be government paid. So what do you say Kagome? Want to start now?"

"But sir, government paid? It's like 10,000 dollars a SEMESTER to go to that place. I'm afraid I would be asking too much from you. So I have to..."

"Kagome, I can't believe I'm going to say this but, I will issue a bill ordered that says Kagome Higurashi will attend the Magic Academy right now if I have to. So you will be going. Understood?" The president gave her a coy smile.

Kagome smiled and nodded. 'This is gonna be so awesome'

"Well I'm going to go now" Mr.Takshi stood up, getting ready to leave. "O yes I almost forgot. The press is wishing to have a conference with you in 3 weeks. I will also be holding a banquet in Tokyo Palace for your honor. It would be great on the first day of school to drop by the Palace to have you fitted for the banquet. You may also bring a friend. Inuyasha will take you there after lessons. Can you come?"

"I'm afraid I can't object sir. It would be my pleasure, though I'm not sure I know proper banquet etiquette."

The president thought for a few seconds while Kagome looked at him confusedly.

"You know what. Why don't you come everyday after lessons and Mrs. Takashi will instruct you on everything you need to know about press conferences and banquets. Not to mention she would be ELATED to see you." Mr. Takashi winked at her.

"Um but won't that trouble..."

"Kagome, you're coming after lessons no matter what ok! Now take care of yourself and I'll see you soon!! And Thank you once again." Before leaving, the president bowed again three times before Kagome and left.
