A Different Beginning

Finally! School was over! But there was a problem. School was OVER! This meant nothing to do but relax for a few weeks until going back. Kagome, a 15 year old middle school girl, sighed and collapsed on her bed. Her three friends, Ayumi, Eri, and Yuka, had been talking to her non-stop about what they should do during their little vacation. But to Kagome, it was very little. Every year it seemed to be only two days before she went back to classes again. She rolled over on her bed facing the ceiling covering her room. She then looked at her desk where her now new computer sat. Her mom bought it for her on Christmas so that Kagome could use for her school work. Kagome hadn't used it for a while now. Wanting to entertain herself, she went on the internet hoping that one of her friends from school was on.

None.

So, reluctantly, Kagome went to a site with a forum where a lot of students from her school were always on.

None.

Knowing that her friends were quick at writing back, she decided to send an e-mail to every one of her friends that didn't have the same internet source as her, making it impossible for them to chat.

None.

No one was online at any place she knew everyone would be. She tried to avoid calling Ayumi, Yuka, and Eri. If she started up a conversation, she would never hear the end of it. Then a thought came to her.

'They all are probably on vacation.'

Sighing in frustration, she decided to go to the living room to watch the television. Nothing else to do but just that.

As she entered the living room, she could hear her mother preparing for dinner. She sat down on the couch only to realize that Souta was playing video games.

"Hey, Sis. You felling okay?" Souta asked knowing how tired she was. He was nice to his sister most of the time. At least when they wouldn't fight.

Kagome gave a heavy sigh as a response.

"Dinner will be ready in fifteen minutes!" Mrs. Higurashi called out from the kitchen.

"Okay Mom!" both Kagome and Souta replied.

"And Kagome. Can you go get your grandpa?"

"Yes Mom! Anyway I could use the fresh air!" Kagome replied standing up and walking outside to the shrine. She lived here her whole life with only her mom, grandfather, and her little brother Souta. Though it happened a long time ago, she never knew what happened to her father but never mentioned it. She kept walking around until she found her grandpa brooming the walkway, as usual.

"Gramps! Mom said dinner will be ready in fifteen minutes!" she called out receiving an 'alright' as a respond. She started to walk back but stopped on instinct. Looking up, she saw the only thing she has trusted and can still trust her entire life. The God Tree. She was able to speak to it when she needed someone to talk to. It was like her best friend. She could tell it secrets knowing it would never anyone even if it learned to speak. She was about to sit under her special tree when her mom called her and her grandpa to eat.

When everyone was at the table eating, it was unusually quiet. Whenever school was out, her mom and grandpa would be talking to her and Souta on what they should do this year. But, to their both surprise, the two adults had been quiet as if they took a vow of silence.

Kagome was about to speak when her grandfather beat her to it.

"I think it's time we tell her," he said with a somewhat serious voice.

"I thought we would wait a little while more," Kagome's mom responded.

Both Souta and Kagome were listening dumbfounded as the two adults discussed something out loud that they didn't know about. The only thing both the kid and teen knew was that they were talking about Kagome, since she was the only her in the house that the grown ups, still speaking in front of her, would mention in a discussion when it came to her grandfather talking with his serious tone.

"Alright," Mrs. Higurashi gave in. "Kagome…," she started looking at her daughter.

Kagome gulped at the sudden turn from who her mother was talking to. "Y-Yes?"

"We have something to tell you. It's about school." Her mother sounded weird. Like between sad, serious, and excitement.

"Y-Yes?" Kagome so smartly answered nervously.

"Well, this might be a bit hard for you,… but…"

"But…?" Kagome urged her mother to go on.

"We are transferring you to a different school," her mother finally said calmly trying to hide the excitement in her voice and succeeded.

Kagome spit out the juice she was drinking and started coughing.

"You will go to a new school that we decided you are ready for," her grandfather added.

"I'M WHAT!" Kagome yelled. She couldn't believe what she was hearing! Her! In a different school! None of her old friends! None of the school halls she had grown accustomed to! Nothing she would recognize because it was in a different place! She froze after yelling out.

"Yes. You will be entering Shikon High."

"But I'm not in high school!" Kagome yelled again at her mother, thought she didn't seem effected of Kagome's yelling.

"That's just the name since it holds more kids in the age of high school there. And you start in three days."

"THREE DAYS!"
