"Kagome...Kagome, honey wake up," Mrs. Higurashi's voice penetrated through the thick fog of Kagome's restless sleep. She cracked opened an eye and then buried her head further in the pillow when her eye was assaulted with the early morning light. "Kagome, please wake up," Mrs. Higurashi pleaded, "we've been called to the police station." Kagome's eyes snapped open and she bolted up in bed as her mother's strained voice penetrated her mind, currently in turmoil over her discoveries the night before.
Kagome looked into her mother's tired eyes before nodding slightly and getting up. Mrs. Higurashi smiled softly as her daughter gave her a soft kiss on the cheek then disappeared into her adjoining bathroom. Mrs. Higurashi sighed heavily and thought, 'why did things go so wrong?' Before leaving the room to go and wake Souta.
As the steam swirled around Kagome and the hot water cascaded down her body in the shower, her mind continued to work through the things that she had found in Kikyo's box. 'Why did you hide everything Kikyo? And when did you meet this Inuyasha? How much did he mean to you?' She shook off all of the thoughts and promised to analyze them later as she turned off the shower and stepped out of the stall.
After hastily drying herself off and aquick change, Kagome raced down the stairs and found her mother and brother in the kitchen, just sitting in silence. "I'm ready," Kagome said softly, breaking the silent spell. Her mother looked up a bit startled but quickly recovered and nodded, with the all three left for the police station.
==At The Police Station==
"We are glad that you agreed to this without much fuss. You have no idea how hard it is for us to get people to leave their familiar surroundings behind," an agent with brown hair and warm eyes of the same hue, said smiling slightly in encouragement. Kagome nodded a bit hasitantly in thanks before asking, "so where do we go from here?"
The agent, Detective Marcus, nodded then with a serious expression answered, "well my partner will be here any minute then you will be walked through the rules and regulations then you will ba allowed to go home and gather a few precious belongings then you will placed on a secure transport and sent off to your new, temporary home."
A knock was heard on the door and a tall redheaded man with green eyes let himself in, this was Detective Beckford, he nodded to all in greeting before beginning the discussion without further ado. "We have decided to place you with unknow relatives. First of all, since Souta is still young he will be allowed to stay with Mrs. Higurashi and they will move in with Grandfather Higurashi in the northern part of the country. As for you Ms. Kagome, you will sent with your Aunt Kaede in the southern part of the country. We are sorry that you cannot leave together but you must understand it is for safety reasons."
In the following silence Mrs. Higurashi turned a worried expression to Kagome while Souta clung to Kagome on the other side. Kagome found a reassuring smile from somewhere and replied confidently, "now don't either of you worry, I'll be fine! Besides I'm off to visit Aunt Kaede, so I'll be busy catching up with her. Just like you to will be busy catching up with Grandpa."
"Are there any questions?" asked Detective Marcus in the following, tense silence. "Just one, will there be any way to communicate with each other?" asked Mrs. Higurashi, darting a quick glance to Kagome. "Only through safety channels that we will secure, however, the communication will not be often as we do not want to breach any safety precautions," replied Detective Beckford.
"Are there anymore questions?" asked Detective Beckford. "No, can we leave now?" asked Kagome in a strained voice. "Yes, but you will escorted by police then you will taken to the airport and there you will take your separate ways." All three rose and walked outside after bidding farewell to the detectives.
==Higurashi Residence==
##Kagome's Room##
"Well, I'm all packed," Kagome sighed heavily as she zipped up the last of the two duffels that she was allowed to take with her on her trip. She looked around her room with a sense of gloom over being forced to leave her home. "Am I missing anything?" she asked out loud as she surveyed her surroundings. Although there were afew things that she really wanted to take, she couldn't so she only packed the essentials.
"Oh that's right," she exclaimed as she got on her hands and knees and groped around under the bed, finally producing Kikyo's box. She got up and hastily stuffed it in one of her duffles as her mother's voice carried form downstairs, announcing their departure.
"I'm coming mom!" Kagome yelled then hurried out of the room with her luggage. Once downstairs, all three climbed into a vehicle and were driven to the airport where they would take separate ways.
==At the airport==
"Take care honey, I'll miss you so much!" Mrs. Higurashi said with tears in her eyes as she embraced Kagome with an unrivaled ferocity. "All right, we really must get going," Detective Marcus interrupted softly. With a few last embraces and tearful reassurances, Kagome walked away accompanied by Detective Marcus while Mrs. Higurashi and Souta stood in silence and watched her leave.
"Are you alright Miss Kagome, you seem a tad pale," commented Detective Marcus as he and Kagome settled into the private plane that would take them to Keade's home. "I'm fine, just a little nervous," responded Kagome a little distracted. "You have the right, but you really should relax a little, too much stress is bad." Kagome only nodded.
With that the plane took off and separated Kagome from the home she had known her entire life.
