Chapter 2: The Mysterious Letter

Kagome took the letter with curiosity. "May I be excused?" She asked, wanting to investigate the letter immediately and privately.

"Yes, go ahead, I'll do the dishes for you dear. Just don't forget to brush your hair again," Kagome's mother said, smiling.

"Yes, of course. Thanks a bunch, mom," thanked Kagome. Then she headed back up the stairs, tripping over a step for she was in such a hurry, then dashed to her room and closed the door behind her. She examined the envelope; it was yellow and was addressed:
Kagome Higurashi
16 Shinboku Street
2nd largest bedroom
2nd floor
Tokyo, Japan

'How strange,' Kagome thought. Then she flipped the envelope over and it was sealed with a sticker of a big H on a shield. She carefully unstuck the sticker, not wanting to rip anything. She finally got it open and found two letters inside. Kagome took a look at the first envelope. Her eyes went wide as she read the letter. It said:

HOGWARTS SCHOOL
of WITCHCRAFT and WIZARDRY

Headmaster: ALBUS DUMBLEDORE
(Order of Merlin, First Class, Grand Sorc., Chf. Warlock,
Supreme Mugwump, International Confed. of Wizards)

Dear Ms. Higurashi,
We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment.
Please inform your friends, Inuyasha, Miroku, Sango, Shippo, and Sesshomaru they have been accepted as well. Please meet me at your school on June 20, along with your friends if possible. I will explain why you have been accepted so late then. Term begins on September 1. Yours sincerely,

Albus Dumbledore Headmaster 'What?!' Kagome thought. 'How could these people know about Inuyasha and the others? And what is this school? Witchcraft and Wizardry? What, there are other people who have powers like mine? Wait, how do they know I have magical powers? And when has Sesshomaru been my friend?! Better tell the others quickly!' Kagome grabbed her yellow backpack and stuffed the letter inside then dashed out the door and down the stairs.

"Where you going, Kagome? Back to your friends in the feudal era?" her mother questioned her as she watched Kagome run down the stairs.

"Yeah, but it won't be long, that okay, mom?" Kagome asked, hoisting her backpack over her shoulder.

"Yes, of course, but you might want to brush that hair of yours, dear" she suggested.

"Oh, yeah. Thanks, mom" Kagome put down her backpack and took out a hairbrush and brushed her hair then put it away. "OK, bye!" She waved good- bye to her mom as she picked her backpack up and swung it over her shoulder.

"Bye, honey," Kagome's mother said as she waved.

"BE GOOD WHILE I'M GONE SQUIRT!" Kagome yelled to Sota, who was upstairs playing videogames.

"YEAH! WHATEVER!" Sota yelled. "NOOO!!!!"

'He must've died on his videogame' Kagome thought and grinned. Then she ran out the door, past the 50 year-old Go-Shinboku tree by her house to the shrine next to it. She opened the door. The Bone-Eater's well was inside, Kagome took a deep breath and gripped her backpack then jumped it.
