(Chap2)
"Alright dear, I know your going to be fine. You might make a new friend or two while your there!"
"...."
"Kagome, please! Talk to me! I'm only doing this for your well-being. Besides, it's only for a few months."
Kagome just looked out the window as she heard her mother sigh. She hadn't talked to her mother since she had been told she was going to spend some time in the country with her Aunt Kagura. This was not good news for some one who despised the country, especially in the beginning of winter. Even in Fall it was exceptionally cold in the big city but where SHE was going, nope, it was already SNOWING.
(3 hours later)
"Kagome! Kagome wake up! We're here!"
Kagome fluttered her eyes open to see snow covering trees, sidewalks, and rooftops of passing homes.
Obviously this is the place I'll be spending the next few horrid months.
Their car stopped in front an old Victorian home; at the largest size a home can get without being a mansion!
Hmmmmm.... it would be a lot more bearable if there were a-
"Hey guys!! Hi Aunt Naomi! Oh! Hello Kagome!! Come on, let me show you my- I mean-OUR room."
A girl her age with waist length hair and chocolate brown eyes bound out of the house, took Kagomes hand and the suitcase she was carrying
Well, maybe mom was right. Perhaps this is the perfect time for me to make a few new friends and for us to get over our loss. What better way to do that than spend a little time with the family? She thought as she almost tripped on a step leading to the door.
"Hey Kikyo! Slow it down a bit!" Instead, Kagome could've sworn she went faster. Finally, after tripping on every step heading up to their room, Kikyo turned a corner and what she saw amazed her.
There was a sky blue room the size a living room. All doubts Kagome had about her relatives being rich were soon demolished when she saw this one room. Her room. Their room. On the sides of the bedroom were two twin beds with sheets to match the walls. Both of them even had their own dresser with a small vanity and bookshelf!! Well, Kagome was astonished. Not only because it was beautiful, but because they went through so much trouble to make the room perfect JUST for HER. She didn't think she was THAT special. She stole a glance at her cousin Kikyo and noticed that she didn't seem as impressed with the room as Kagome was.
"My dad hired a few people to move the furniture in here, but I picked the colors." Kikyo muttered in monotone as she flopped onto her chosen bed.
So much for going through trouble. She thought as she sweat-dropped. All they did was spend a bit of cash and she picked out the most casual
color she could find. Oh well. I'm not picky. It DOES look really nice though'
"Well, I guess I'd better unpack" she said while putting her duffel on the bed."
"Ok. Hey, how about later, I introduce you to some people I know! You could make some friends!" Kikyo bargained with excitement clearly etched in her voice.
"Alright, right after I pack."
"OK!" With that, Kikyo dashed out of the room leaving Kagome to her thoughts. Her mother was still downstairs, no doubt talking about fashion or what her mom was going to do now that her father was gone with her Aunt Kagura. She hadn't seen Uncle Naraku around. She shook the thought from her head. All she wanted to focus on now was what happened outside and at the stairs. Why hadn't Kikyo stopped, or at least slow down? Did she not hear her? Or did she just ignore her? No, she didn't ignore her or else she probably wouldn't have sped up... wait! What am I thinking!? Kikyo went through all of this for me and I will not think of her like that when they took me in and could've so easily have said no!
"Kagome sweetheart! I'm leaving!" She dropped all she had and shot downstairs and said her goodbyes to her mother.
I'll just have fun while I'm here! She pondered as she waved goodbye to her mother. Now, I wonder if there are any cute boys around for the taking?
