Kagome stepped out of the well house. Blood dripped from her shoulder but she paid it no mention, noticing only the blood red rose dripping with blood as well, as she stepped into her house, tears rolling down her cheeks.
"Kagome?" asked Ms. Higurashi, running over to her daughter.
"Kagome!" Yelled Souta, already at her side.
"Kagome, what happened?" asked her grandfather. Kagome ignored all of them, walking to her room, where she collapsed on the bed, crying, her rose held close to her chest. Souta went into her room and sat with her, not knowing what to do, while Ms. Higurashi talked with her father.
Kagome cried herself to sleep that night.

She dashed away the tears on her cheeks and put the rose in a vase. Kissing it, she then walked out and went slowly toward school.
She had started a new school, so that rumors wouldn't circulate about her old one. Meiou High. She didn't even speculate about what that sounded like. All she could do was think about Youko, missing him. Blankly, she took her seat in her first period class, English. She simply stared at the desk.
This is the second to last chapter. Just one more.
