Sorry I haven't updated but various things have kept me very busy. Okey Dokey, here we go daddy-oh!
"What?" asked all three of the Higurashi family members. "Yes, according to the latest reports from our allies, this is the best solution for keeping you safe and alive, excuse my bluntness." Mrs. Higurashi sighed heavily before asking, "and where do you suggest that we go off to?"
"Well, naturally you will not be going to the same place due to security reasons." "No!" exclaimed Mrs. Higurashi as she grabbed her remaining children and held them close. The detective sighed heavily and replied, "listen, I'm really sorry but this is the safest way."
"Where are you suggesting we go then, especially since we are to be separated?" Kagome interrupted, before her mother and the detective could get into a verbal confrontation. The detective studied the girl for a few seconds before responding, "We will look into your family and find some members that are not known and we shall separate you amongst them, wherever they might be."
"In that case you mean Grandpa and Aunt Kaede." Souta interjected excitedly before he mumbled an apology for speaking out of turn. The detective nodded then said, "well you should go home and rest, you will be summoned again tomorrow to work out the details and be given your new lives."
The detective's words sunk into Kagome with the force of a sledgehammer, 'your new lives'. She sat staring out of the window of the bedroom that she and Kikyo shared. At the though of her sister's name, Kagome's throat closed up with a lump of emotion, she swallowed past it even as her eyes were flooded with hot, salty tears.
"I know you weren't the perfect sister, and that you knew how to manipulate those around you into doing what you wanted. Yet, underneath that calculating and cold exterior a gentle girl was caged as well as my childhood friend," Kagome spoke into the dark emptiness of the room. However, only the darkness heard her.
She got up and walked over to her bed, got on her knees, and searched below for a few seconds. Her face lit up when her hand encountered something and a scraping sound was heard as she dragged something out from under the bed. She sat on the floor with a small silver, metal box in front of her crossed legs; she then reached into her PJ shirt and pulled out a chain where her silver locket hung. Kagome pried it open and extracted a small key with which she opened the box.
A small smile graced her face as she thought, 'Kikyo would kill me if she knew that I looked though her stuff and found this box and the key. But I can't help I want to know what kinds of things she kept in here. I want to dwell in her memory one last time." A tear slipped out of her eye but she quickly wiped it away and concentrated on the box.
The small lock opened with a quiet click and Kagome pulled back the lid and observed the contents. She drew in a sharp breath as her eyes scanned the inside, letters and small gifts from Naraku. She angrily shoved them aside and explored the underside. She smiled as she mementos, little trinkets that Kagome had given her when they were young; Kagome began to sink into the happy memories when a glint caught her eye. Her gaze flicked to a small corner of the box where a beautiful pink jewel was protected by a glass jewelry case. She reached over and carefully plucked the box and was surprised to notice a letter caught in a side of the small glass box.
"What's this?" Kagome asked herself puzzled as she studied the front of the letter, not recognizing the handwriting. She was about to simply put it to the side when the letter slid out and opened in front of her. She picked it up and was about to put it back in the envelope when the phrase, 'my beloved Kikyo', caught her attention.
Against her better judgment she opened the letter and read
(My Beloved Kikyo,
Although I'm a little disappointed with how things turned out between us I will never forget you. You made me see things in a whole different light and I fell in love with you because of it. I hope that you will accept the jewel as a token of my affections for you. I will always have you in my heart and I hope that someday you will see that this Naraku is not for you and you will return to me. The man that really loves you, until then, please take care of yourself and cherish everything that we shared, I know I will.
Inuyasha)
'What is this?!' Kagome's mind shrieked, she pushed the letter aside and opened the jewelry box, inside was a pink sphere with an ornate chain attached to it. The little light in the room danced off the extraordinary gem, taunting Kagome with the memories and secrets that Kikyo had withheld in her involvement with this Inuyasha. "Just how many more secrets were you hiding Kikyo?" Kagome asked the oppressing silence of her dark surroundings, once again, there was no response to her questions.
Uhh… What do you think? Sorry that chapter is so short, hopefully I'll be able to post again by this weekend. Sorry things are moving along a little slow but they'll speed up I promise. Please Review!
