Whoa, I got some nice reviews for the starting chapter. Thanks guys! :D

mexican hat dance: I didn't really understand that, but I'm guessing you liked it. Thanks! (:

Deadly Diva: Thank you for the constructive criticism. I'm glad you liked it. I will try to turn up the notch a little.

Dark Inu Fan: Was it really that sad? I guess it's good you aren't a crying girl then, right? XD And she's moving somewhere a little north of the USA, just for something different. And no, she isn't moving in with her father.

ILvsimplepln2: Yeah, that sucks, right? Right...Thx.

Thanks again to everyone that reviewed so far. I know not many reviewed, but still, I'm happy anyway... (:

This chapter will not have a song in it, because I couldn't think of one for this chapter and because I don't have the time...-.-

Chapter 2- The New Kid

One year later

Kagome Higurashi sat in her bedroom on her new Dell computer she had just bought. Keys clicking away as she chatted to one of her best friends in Japan, Eri.

'So, what's up in Canada this evening?'

'Absolutely nothing. Just waiting for a friend to get here.'

'Who?'

'Alex.'

'Oh. Cool. Ayumi's here beside me.'

'Cool. Hey Ayumi!'

'Ayumi: Hey Kagome!'

'Oh, she's here. I'll chat later, okay?'

'Sure thing. Bye Kagome!'

'Bye!'

Kagome exited the conversation window and spun around in her chair, laughing. She didn't wait for the chair to stop and quickly hopped off.

"Whoa. Shouldn't have done that."

Stumbling down the stairs and into the living room, Kagome waved to her best friend who was just outside the window.

She put her winter jacket on and grabbed a pair of binoculars.

As Kagome ran out the back door, Alex jumped in the front door and threw her overnight bag on to a chair that was in the corner of the porch.

They both met up at the hill behind the large, old farm house that her family owned in Lower Montague, PEI. It was a small part of what made up the Town of Montague, one of the bigger towns on PEI.

They giggled as they lied down on the grass and faced the stars.

"Good thing you live out in the country, Kags. We would never be able to see the meteor shower tonight with all the lights everywhere."

"I know. Isn't it great out here?"

"Yeah..."

Silence over came the two 16 year olds as they patiently waited for the show to start. When nothing happened for a few minutes, Alex spoke up.

"This is your first full year in Canada. Tell me, was it what you thought it would be?"

Kagome sighed sadly, making a small cloud of steam raise into the cold fall air. 'Oh right, I forgot about that. About leaving everyone behind...'

"No. I actually thought that it would be cold all of the time. It scared me when we came at first, seeing as how it was late-winter. But, wow, was the summer ever hot!"

"Yeah, I know. Good thing your mom bought that air-conditioner."

Kagome nodded, sighing once again as memories slowly began creeping back into her head.

"Girls, you should start settling in soon!" Mrs. Higurashi called.

"Okay mama!"

Kagome closed her down and jumped on to her bed. Alex rolled out her dark blue sleeping bag on the floor beside the bed and put her pillow into place.

The blond girl sat up on sleeping bag and looked around. Her blue eyes found spotted something on her friends bookcase.

"Hey, Kagome. What's this? A photo album?"

Kagome's eyes went wide as Alex pulled her large red and gold photo album from her bookcase. She stepped off her bed and snatched it away from the surprised girl.

"Uh...you can't look at this."

"Huh? Why not? It's not like it's porn...Is it?"

"NO, Alex!"

"Just making sure. So what is it? Pictures of Japan?"

Kagome fiddled with the gold lace, debating with herself if she should tell Alex about her old friends...from the feudal era.

'Aww, why not. It's not like she'll ever met them or go there looking for the well.'

"Sure."

Alex smiled and clapped her hands together as Kagome shifted her position so both her and her friend could have a good look. "Before you see these, I need to tell you about my friends..."

"Okay..."

Few minutes later

Alex blinked. "You're kidding, right?"

Kagome frowned. "No, look."

Opening the first page, there where two pictures. The first one was a picture of Miroku beside Sango. They were both smiling for the picture, but you could see Miroku's hand wandering south.

"See, this is Miroku, with the staff, and this is Sango."

"What's that on her shoulder? A cat...with...two tails?"

"Oh, and that's Kirara. She was Sango's pet cat demon."

"Okay..." Alex stared wide-eyed at the picture.

Kagome moved on to the next one. "And this one is a picture with me and Shippo, the young fox demon."

The picture had Kagome giving the person with the camera the 'V' sign and Shippo was on her shoulder, copying her.

"Aww, he's so small and cute." Alex laughed lightly.

They looked at a few more pictures that had her, Miroku, Sango, Kirara, Shippo and Kaede in them. (A/N: Not all at once.) But soon, the pictures started showing just her and Inuyasha, alone.

"Is that Inuyasha?...Kagome?"

Alex went wide eyed when she realized her friend was crying. Hugging her shaking shoulder lightly, she made small shushing noises, much like Sango had making Kagome cry harder.

"I'm sorry Kagome. I shouldn't have asked about them."

"No, it's okay Alex. I'd rather cry then forget about them..."

Monday

Kagome pushed her way through the crowded hallways of her school, struggling to get to her locker. It was the same everyday, trying to push by a bunch of smelly teens that barely ever showered. Kagome sighed, then regretted it immediately.

"Jeez, finally."

"Kags!"

Kagome turned around to find Alex right in her face. It didn't bother her any, she was used to it by now. "Hey Alex."

"Guess what?"

"What?"

"There's a new student here...from Japan."

Kagome narrowed her eyes. "So?"

"You can speak Japanese to someone now and not get strange looks in return."

Kagome shook her head lightly and started turn her lock. "Chances are I'm going to be the one showing this new person around too."

Alex leaned again the locker next to hers and gave Kagome a puzzled look. "What's wrong with that? Word is that it's a boy."

"So?"

"You need a boyfriend, Kags. This is the perfect chance!"

"Whatever, Alex..."

After 'O Canada' and in the middle of the announcements

"Would Kagome Higurashi come to the office please."

Kagome sighed and stood up from her desk, throwing a small pleading look at Alex, who shook her head in return.

"Great..." Kagome grumbled as she headed towards the office.

"Ah, great, Kagome. We'd like you to show a new student from Japan around. He doesn't know much English, maybe you can't get him started." The principal patted her shoulder and lead her into his office. "He's just in here, so I'll let you two get aquanted."

"Alright."

Kagome put her hand on the door knob and turned. When she entered the room, she quickly turned around to shut the door, and not showing her face at the same time.

She sighed deeply and prepared her 'Welcome to the school' speech when she heard a gasp and the scrape of a chair on the floor.

"Ka-Kagome..."

Thx.
