Chapter Two: Decisions
As Kagome emerges in modern day Toyko her beast settles back allowing the red tinge to fade from her blue-gray eyes. Climbing out of the well she closes the lid and seals the lid on with a powerful taste of her power. Sighing she heads into the house and calls out"Momma I'm home." When Kagome doesn't recieve an anwser she heads to her bedroom.
As she approaches the door she sees a note taped to the surface and immeadiately recognizes her mother's elegant scrawl on the page:
Kagome,
Went to see your Aunt Marissa in Kyoto.
Be back in two weeks.
Love,
Mom
Tapped to the bottom of the note is her mother's credit card.
Kagome smiles happily and pullls the note off the door as she opens it. Walking in she sees a bag and a pile of mail sitting in the center of her bed. Squealing with delight she runs to her bed and picks through the mail, finding three envelopes with names on the sender's adress that she hadn't seen in a long time. Yuuske Uremeshi, Shuichi Minamino, and Hiei Jaganeshi.
Tossing the other's aside she rips open the envelope containing Hiei's brief letter:
Kagome,
Will be in town for summer break, look for me.
I believe your mother will be going to Kyoto
the same time I'll be getting into Toyko.
Keep your window open.
Hiei
Smiling Kagome peeks into the bag and gasps. Her mother had gotten her Rammstein's cd Mutter. Ripping open the plastic she opens the case and snatches the cd out. Popping her boombox cd player open she drops the cd in and closes it. Turning on the player she quickly skips ahead to Feuer Frei!
Getadelt wird wer schmerzien kennt
Vom feuer das die haut verbrennt
Ich welf ein licht
In mein gesicht
Ein heisser schrei
Feuer Frei!
Geadelt ist wer schmerzein kennt
Vom feuer das in lust verbrennt
Ein funkenstoss
In ihren schoss
Ein heisser schrei
Feuer Frei!
Gafahrlich ist wer schmeerzein kennt
Vom feuer das den geist verbrennt
Gafahrlich das gerannte kind
Mit feuer das vom leben trennt
Ein heisser schrei
Feuer Frei!
Kagome whom had loosened her hair during Feuer Frei! looks into the mirror on her wall and makes the decision that it is high time for a major change. Slipping out of her gi she pulls on a loose pair of jeans and a simple white t-shirt, sliding on her sandals she hits the stop button on her boombox and grabs her mother's credit card.
Slipping it into her hip pocket she glances around, satisfied she hasn't forgotten anything essential she heads for the front door. Stepping outside she locks the house and then circles around to the back and locks the sliding kitchen door. Now satisfied that the house is locked up tighter then the well she heads down the shrine stairs going towards the bus stop.
Within five minutes Kagome boards the bus headed for her destination... the mall...
