Prologue----------------
"I-I don't understand! Why?!"
"Please, try to understand"
"I mean, we've been here for so long! Why are we going back now?"
"I know that you're upset by this Kagome, but please…"
Kagome Higurashi stayed silent, her sapphire eyes bright with unshed tears. Her mother, Suzuki, sat across from her. Her hands were folded neatly in her lap. Tension filled the large living room, making the two relatives uncomfortable. Kagome kept the tears at bay, though she ached to go to her room and cry her heart out. –I don't understand…why are we moving now? I don't want to go back…there are too many painful memories there-
Suzuki looked at her daughter with pain in her eyes. She knew the reason Kagome didn't want to move, she knew perfectly well. It broke her heart to see her only daughter struggle to hear her out. Suzuki knew what Kagome wanted to do. If she were in her position, she would want to do the same thing.
"Your Uncle Taijiya has passed away Kagome…" she was finally able to say gently. Kagome froze in complete shock.
Your Uncle Taijiya has passed away… Uncle Taijiya has passed away… Uncle Taijiya has… Uncle Taijiya…"W-what?" Kagome breathed out. Her favorite uncle who always wished her the happiest birthdays was gone. Her uncle who always had a ridiculously funny plan to make New Years the better than the year before wan gone. Her uncle who always snuck her some extra fortune cookies as the Chinese Restaurants was gone. Her uncle who helped her when…when…
Ms. Higurashi watched her daughters sparkling eyes film over. She hoped Kagome was going to be all right. She knew that she was strong. Kagome was strong enough to stop a bully from hurting her, strong enough to raise her younger brother when her mother was sick and couldn't move, strong enough to pick up the pieces of her heart when…
Kagome sat absolutely still. Her breath came out in quiet pants. She tried to process this new piece of information. Then it suddenly hit her. –If-If Uncle T is gone than that means Sango is alone with Kohaku to take care of…- Her eyes widened in horror at her favorite cousin's tragic predicament.
"Mom! What about Sango?! And Kohaku?!" she asked urgently, breaking out of her daze.
"That's why we need to move Kagome. Your cousins are too stubborn to come live with us, even after what happened." Suzuki said brushing a strand of hair behind her ear. She watched her daughter's emotions flit across her face. Finally, only one remained-understanding.
"Let's go as soon as we can."
