Chapter 04: Homecomings Part 1

After tossing her backpack over the edge of the well, Kagome climbed out and sat down on the edge to catch her breath. After a minute, she stood up and walked out of the well house, heading for her house. Halfway there she noticed a face in her bedroom window.

"Kagome? Is that you?" it called.

"Yes, Souta, I'm back" Kagome called to her brother.

"Okay" he shouted right before his head disappeared from the window. 'What's that little jerk doing in my room!?' she asked herself. She gave a sigh and shook her head as she reached her back door. Sliding it open she called out to no one in particular, "I'm home!"

"Kagome, you're back," her mother said coming from the other room.

"Yeah but I'm only staying for a few days" Kagome replied.

"Okay dear, dinner will be ready in an hour."

"Okay, dinner sounds good, but first I'm gonna go take a bath," Kagome heading up to her room. She opened her bedroom door, just to find Souta sitting on her bad playing with her fat cat Buyo. Currently, he was holding Buyo's front paws up in the air, making him do a little dance. Kagome wanted to laugh at the image, but was too angry at the fact that Souta was in her room. She had told him to get out of her room almost as mush as she sat Inuyasha. "Out," she told him. He emitted a small squeak before running out of her room and into his own. Kagome took a deep breath and looked around her room, when she noticed the numerous flowers on her bed. She picked one bouquet up and read the card, 'Kagome, get well soon, we all miss you, Yuki, Ayume and Eri.' She picked up the next one, it read, 'Kagome, please get well soon, i miss you so much, Hojou' She checked the others, they were all from Hojou. Kagome let out a frustrated sigh, 'Can't this guy take a hint?' she asked herself. Kagome headed to her bathroom and began to run some bath water.
