Kagome's POV

We arrived at aunt Kaede's house around noon the day after my mom almost got stabbed. Aunt Kaede didn't really give us a warm welcome but she said we could stay with her as long as we needed.

Aunt Kaede looked as old as ever but looked healthy enough. I left mom and her to catch up.

My room was basically the same except for the cobwebs in the corners. It looked like it hadn't been touched since i left. There was a white wicker bed, a dresser, a vanity and a shelf. My stuffed animals were still piled up on my bed.

One of them particularly caught my eye. It was of a small red-headed boy except it wasn't a boy. You could tell because it had what looked like fox feet instead of normal feet and because of the tiny white fangs coming out of its mouth. It looked home made with all the stitching exposed. Shippo had made it himself of himself and had given it to me as a going away present.

All my demon friends had thrown me a going away party a day before i left. Shippo had given me the doll, Kirara had given me a lock of her fur but Inuyasha hadn't given me anything. We always had a love hate relationship.

I wondered,did demons really exist, or were they just figments of my imagination like everyone had said. Then i heard the phone ring.

I answered it. "Hey Kags is that really you?" It was my best friend Sango. We kept in touch by e-mail after I left Kyoto 6 years ago. "Hey Sango! Yupp it's really me."I sent a quick e-mail telling Sango that I was moving back to Kyoto right before i left Tokyo. "Oh my gosh! This is so great. Why don't you come over today? We can hang out." "Sure I'll be over right after i unpack all my stuff" I answered excitedly. "Ok see you then. Bye." Then she hung up.

I unpacked as fast as i could. I ran downstairs made some ramen and put it in a bowl, then i put it outside my back porch. My demon friends used to love ramen. I yelled out that I was going to Sango's house and was gone before anyone could answer.

AN: i know it's been a long time since i've updated but i got a new computer and it didn't have microsoft word and i have no idea how to used html and i thought that u could only use those two methods to update fanfics. then i found out that u could use wordpad and i updated as fast as i could. sorry about the short chapter.
