A loud crash could be heard from the Higurashi Shrine's upper room. A window slammed open and an abnoxiously loud alarm clock came soaring gracefully out and crashed onto the brick sidewalk. A scream echoed out of the house. Not from Kagome, but her senile old grandfather, "KAGOMEEEEE!"

Kagome froze in fear. She did not want another lecture on how to turn off an alarm clock. So she got up from just sitting down on her nice and comfortable bed and calmly opened her door, "Grandpa! I'm sorry I have no patients, but I do know how to turn off an alarm clock properly! I just choose to do what sounds more reasonable to me. I find that throwing it out of the window relieves me from listening to it every. . . . freaking. . . morning." Kagome smiled sweetly as her Grandpa just stood there with a startled expression.

"Y-yes, I suppose you know what your doing Kagome," Mr. Higurashi muttered quietly, turning slowly muttering gibberish Kagome did not even want to know.

Kagome giggled childishly as she turned to her room and walked in. She walked up to her closet and grabbed her yellow bookbag , then she walked over to her trashcan, and dropped it in saying, "I need a bookbag with a new color. Yellow was getting to be to 'frolick in the sunflower fields' for me."

Yet again walking back to her closet, she started to actually look at her clothes. It took her awhile of rummaging through all the clothes she had to find the perfect outfit, but she found it. First off she had her hair up in a high ponytail, wiht a couple loose ringlets framing her face. She had, blue eyeshadow on (light blue), stawberry pink lip gloss, and a very natural looking blush.

Around her neck she had a very elegant looking necklace in the shape of a crescent moon. The necklace had a couple dimamonds, and was made of silver and gold. Her earings resembled what was adorning her neck.

Her shirt, though very low, was very traditional. With many different patterns of kimonos, she had a top looking like an ancient styled kimonos revamped and combined. Hold a very preistess of the twenty first century kind of look. Her pants were a fadded light blue jeans, that were littered with words from over fifty different languages.

Her shoes were pastel pink and were made for walking and the outdoors, but held the fashion she wanted to achieve. Around her ankle was the same thing on her necklace and earings, the only thing different was that is was just pure silver.

Next thing Kagome was doing turned out to be admiring herself in the mirror. Her smile was true, but even then she could tell something was different. Not only in how she dressed but how her posture and poise was held. It held confidence, sureness, and an edge she never had before.

Kagome went to her door and left her room. Walking down the hallway she looked at the photographs. She always wondered about the photos on the wall. The one person Kagome wanted to know about was never there. Her father. In pictures or anything. He just seemed to dissapear. But as she walked along. She noticed a new picture. There in the picture, was Kagome when she was about four, with a man that looked so familiar, yet she had not one clue who he was. The man was hugging her and holding her hands, while kissing her cheek.

Before she could wonder more, she noticed she was a the top of the stairwell. Before she could stop, she took another and then she tripped of the carpet and tumbled down. Till she reached the bottom, "God dammit!"

Mrs. Higurashi heard all the noise and came to see what happened, "Kagome! Are you all right?" Her mother looked very amused by the whole thing, but she hid her laugh and instead showed her worry.

Kagome started laughing with hysteria. 'I can't believe I'm such an idiot' she though to herself. Meanwhile Souta walked in looking confused as his mother suddenly started laughing along with Kagome. Both had tears to thier eyes when they stop. Kagome, had tears actually streaming down her face.

Not even Kagome knew why she found it so funny. But she still kept laughing every now and then. Finally the laughter subsided and Souta walked up to Kagome, "So, I really want to know. What the are you on? And can I have some?" Kagome looked at him and started laughing again.

When Kagome finally had subsided her laughter she walked into the kitchen and told Souta, "I'm not on anything really. Just Oxygen. So you go try that oxygen why don't ya?"

Her mother looked over at Kagome and asked, "Now that your calm, I'm going to ask you a question, Are you going back with Inuyasha anytime soon?"

Kagome's face hardened, it had been a week and she was going to go back, "Yeah mom, I'm going back tonight actually. I was just going to ask though. Do you have any backpacks. My yellow one is totally trashed. "

Mrs. Higurashi smiled as she nodded, "Of course. A dark red one, magenta really, in the back of the linnen closet. Kagome nodded and thanked her mother. She walked down into the back of the house. Near the downstairs bathroom and opened the linnen closet. There sitting in plain view was the magenta colored backpack.

Kagome smiled in satisfaction, "Yes! This is just what I need!" She walked back into the kitchen and told her mother that she was going up to pack and will come down to eat dinner, then leave. Her mother agreed and shooed her out of the kitchen so she could finish supper.

Kagome rushed up the stairs and ran into her room. She started looking for her first aid kit. After tearing apart her room to find it, she remembered, she left in her bathroom. Sighing she went and grabbed that, coming back with the first aid kit , her toothbrush and toothpaste."

She then started grabbing all the neccesities a girl would need. She also grabbed and extra blanket and some books to entertain her from boredom on really slow nights. A flashlight, some of her hidden stash of chocolate and other varieties of sweets, her essential care pack and vitamins, was the last on her list. Plus, some extra pop, candy, ramen and other instant dishes.

After dinner Kagome hugged her mother and bid her family a goodbye. She walked outside and the breeze made her hair fly around. She walked up to the wellhouse with her new backpack hanging from her shoulder.

She walked into the well house and looked around more thoroughly then usual. It was more eerie looking then it used to be. But of course, many a demons killed it somehow or, Inuyasha destroyed some part of it.

Well she didn't really look thoroughly but more so then she usually did. But after that she just jumped into the well. The blue light surrounded her as she watched intently for the scenery to change. Then it did. The well had bones in it and Kagome just blinked. She looked around for a good and sturdy vine. Not shortly after she found one and started climbing up.

Shortly Kagome reached the top to find the clearing around her empty. That didn't surprise her as much as she though it might if the day would come. Of course, she upset Inuyasha, or he was off with Kikyo either way she did not care.

Walking the distance alone she did not fear anything. Not one demon came out, neither did a screaming innocent in fear. Nothing exciting or fun about her walk. She finally reached Kaede's village, just as the sun started to set. In the distance she saw a little orange thing come running towards the path she was on.

She made the figure out to be Shippo and smiled, stilling keeping a nice walking pace. Shippo came running and jumped right into Kagome's waithing arms, "Kagome! Your finally here! Inuyasha has been reaaaalllly mean since you left! He hit me over the head ten times!" Kagome just smiled at the cute little bundle in her arms.

"Is that so? Well then, I geuss Inuyasha better have a good excuse of why he did it, shouldn't he?" Shippo laughed as he gleefully hugged Kagome.

"I missed you lots and lots Kagome! You shouldn't leave as much. It makes everyone one cranky." Kagome just laughed at Shippo as she reached Kaede's hut. She peaked through the door and said, "Anybody here?"

Kagome saw Sango and Kaede sitting on the floor mats conversing about the village's protection. They looked over and smiled at Kagome, "Come child, ye is always welcome in thy home."

Sango laughed, "What she said," Kagome and Sango looked at each other with amusment written all over there face, "So you told Inuyasha to get out?"

Kagome blushed, "Yeah. It was fun too. He was being such a jerk." She smiled and looked around for Miroku. She found him right away. He was passed out with a nice red handprint on his face. Kagome laughed.

"Sooo. Where is Inuyasha right now?" Kagome asked with curiousity. Sango suddenly looked solemn. She got a very nervous expression ont as Kagome watched her.

"He's with Kikyo, right?" Sango nodded sadly, "Well. I think I'm gonna go take a nice and innocent little walk." Sango looked at her, surprise definately what was on her face.

Kagome grinned, "He should know better than to push me around like a sloppy second," She stood up as everyone in the hut that was concious watched her walke out of the hut.
