Chapter 2
Kagome sighed contentedly as she lay on her bed, 'Oden…how I love Oden….'
Sango glances at Kagome from her futon on the floor, "Um…aren't you going to read you're may-ill?"
Kagome giggles at Sango's discomfort using an unfamiliar word, "Yeah..I might as well. I wonder what it is."
She pulls out the envelope and breaks the seal on the back. She reads it over a couple of times. Sango glances at Kagome expectantly. Kagome nods in silent understanding and reads aloud,
"Dear Mrs Higurashsi,
Your daughter Kagome has been offered a chance to enroll in Bayville High school in
New York. She will be given room and board by the Xavier Institute for Gifted Students.
We are aware of your daughter's sicknesses and frequent absences from school and are
not bothered by it. If you wish to accept this offer please have Kagome present at the old
shrine outside of Tokyo at noon. There we shall conduct one final interview with the others who
have also received this notification. We hope you will consider this wonderful
opportunity.
Sincerely, Charles Xavier"
Sango was puzzled, she sits up and looks up at Kagome quizzicly, "And….?"
Kagome was staring at the letter in shock, "Bayville….High? New York?"
"Uh Kagome? Are you going to accept?"
Kagome screams in delight, causing her mother to come running up the stairs, "Kagome whats wrong!?"
Kagome just hands Mrs. Higurashi the letter, "Can I please!?"
After reading it through Mrs. Higurashi smiles, "Of course."
Kagome shrieks again and bounces around like a two year old on sugar high. Sango sighs, "But Kagome…what About Inuyasha and the Shikon shards?"
Kagome immediately calms down after that, "Um…I guess we should go ask.."
Sango nods and stands up, "We should go tonight since the interview is tomorrow."
Kagome agrees and walks out of the room, "Mom, I'll be right back."
Mrs. Higurashi nods, "Be careful dear."
"I will."
Kurama prods Youko's mind, 'Can I please look at my letter? I'll let you out right afterward."
Youko grumbles but relinquishes control to his human half. The light blue mist surrounded the kitsune as he transformed back to a red haired teen. Kurama sighs and pulls the letter out and reads it:
Dear Mrs Minamoto,
Your son Suuichi has been offered a chance to enroll in Bayville High school in
New York. He will be given room and board by the Xavier Institute for Gifted Students.
If you wish to accept this offer please have Suuichi present at the old shrine outside of
Tokyo at noon. There we shall conduct one final interview with the others who have also
received this notification. We hope you will consider this wonderful opportunity.
Sincerely, Charles Xavier.
Kurama's face is clouded with uncertancy, 'Why?'
Youko snorts, /So, Are you going to?/
Kurama shrugs, 'I must talk to Koenma first…'
/Fine….but do it in the morning. It's my time now./
Kurama closes his eyes, 'I know Youko…'
Kagome climbs out of the well, Sango had decided to stay at the house. Kagome brushes her raven locks away from her face, bothered by the fact that Inuyasha hadn't come after her yet. She shrugs it off as a case of nerves and walks toward Keade's village. She stops in front of the old miko's hut, "Miroku?"
She peers inside, seeing the forms of Keade, Shippou, and Miroku. The monk glanced at Kagome, and whispers, "Shh…they are sleeping."
Kagome nods and motions to Miroku to come out, "I need to talk with you."
Miroku nods and they walk a ways from the hut, "What is it Kagome-sama?"
Kagome looks at the ground, "Well…where is Inuyasha?"
A pained look crossed Miroku's face, "Well…after you left…Inuyasha ran off, the last thing I heard him say was…"
Kagome closes her eyes, "Don't tell me….Kikyo?"
Miroku nods gravely, "Hai…"
Kagome sighs, trying to fight back the tears, "Well…I-I don't think I'll be coming back then….I just wanted to say goodbye.."
Miroku nods, "I understand. We'll miss you. By the way, where is Sango?"
"At my house, she said she wants to meet the interviewers with me."
Miroku was confused at the word but Kagome just shook her head, "Well, I guess I should go before Inuyasha returns…tell him….tell him that I loved him once, but he threw it out the window."
The monk patted Kagome's shoulder in reassurance, for once he wasn't thinking perverted thoughts, "That I shall do. Now good luck."
Kagome hugs Miroku once more before heading back towards the well. She stopped once in front of Goshinboku and put her hand against the cool bark, "Inuyasha…"
"Kikyo…" The voice came from behind the tree.
"Yes Inuyasha?"
"I'll always protect you."
Kagome froze, not wanting to see what was going on, she wept silently and ran toward the well, jumping in and never looking back once.
