The following day

At Kagome´s house

The teenage girl was looking at all the school options that she had on her table. It was kind of hard to choose just one, she wanted to have a great future and career. The problem was in what kind field would she go too. She thought her time in Middle School would last forever, but it was now time to go on and start a career. She remember on what Soma saying about Totsuki and she kind liked cooking. Maybe she could apply there and try to be a chef, this would be a good career. Open a little restaurant and help the Shrime of her family, not a bad plan.

''Kagome, breakfast is ready.'' Said her mother

'I am coming.'' Said her

At the Kitchen

''So any luck in choosing a school?" Asked her mother.

''No, its more difficult than I imagined.'' Said her.

''You know the priestess career is the right one for you. Your brother is still too young to know all my secret.'' Said her grandfather.

''Hey, not cool!'' Said the kid.

''Sorry my boy.'' Said him.

The girl had that idea of cooking still stuck in her head, maybe this could be a good one. She was good at cooking; maybe more training would take her some places.

''You know I had an idea about my High School.'' Said her.

''Oh really. You choose a school? Which one?" Asked the mother.

The girl took a deep breath and then told her family.

''I am thinking of applying to Totsuki.'' Said her.

''Oh really.'' Said the mother both surprised and curious.

''If you do that then we will be eating so much good stuff.'' Said Sato all happy.

''That school is filled with demons. You must start your training now!'' Scream the grandpa all nervous.

''Grandpa calm down.'' Said Sato.

The girl decided to jump at that idea. It was the only thing she had planned, besides being a cook might be fun. She could even cook for Innuyasha and the others if she see them again later.

''If you like I can help you fill the application forms. There might be on the school website.'' Said her mother.

''Thank you mom.'' Said Kagome.

''Quick, lets grab all the holy material we have. If Kagome is going to purify that school we are going to need all the help we can get.'' Said the grandpa.

''Grandpa just eat your breakfast.'' Said Sato.

At the day of the Application

Kagome was walking towards the location of the Totsuki exam. She got an address and thought it was that one, she decided to just go. However, while her way she meet again with her old friend.

''Kagome!'' Said a chipper voice of one Soma Yukihira.

''Soma-kun.'' Said Kagome with a smile.

''If you are going in the same direction than me, I guess you are also going to take the Totsuki exam?" Asked Soma.

''Yes, I decided to try be a chef. A good training might be good for the future.'' Said her.

''Well I am pretty much in this route. I cant go back to the restaurant until I do this test.' Said Soma.

''Why?" Asked Kagome.

''Because my old man said that I can cook again once I graduate.'' Said Soma.

''You mean Yukihira´s is closed?" Asked her confused.

''Yes, but not for long. We still need to make money and pay the bills, dads transactions are a mess and I don't know who does this whole process. I have to tell you thing were way more easier when mom…'' Said Soma and then he got all quiet once he mentioned his mom.

Kagome later learned that the death of Tamako Yukihira really messed with both Soma and Juichiro. Kagome could tell that Soma was super inspired by his dad, but his mother was the one that made him fell in love with cooking. She felt bad for him but she would try to be a good friend to support him.

''I know you miss her, but you need to keep going. Chasing your dream and cooking more and more. Thats what she would want you to do.'' Said Kagome.

''You´re right, I cant be sad all the time every time I think of her. I need to be stronger and show the Yukihira style to the world.'' Said Soma.

''What about your father? Is he coming back to help you?" Asked Kagome.

''No, he is going back to travel around the world. The gig for the New York restaurant was just a quick one. I don't know where he is at right now.'' Said Soma.

Kagome just blinked confused at that. Soma father apparently was notorious for just disappearing and pretty much doing whatever he wanted. That wasn't a good role model.

''Ok.'' Said her just shocked.

''You looked nervous. Don't worry, the test wont be that scary.' Said Soma with a smile.

Kagome and Soma soon went off to the supposed big school of cooking. When they arrived at the address that they both got in the website, they saw it was a building of three floors. Nothing much.

''This is the school?" Asked Kagome.

''Not much of it. I guess the old man wanted to scare me.'' Said Soma.

The two soon enter in the building, there was a few people, and they went to the front desk.

'Hi there, we would like to do the application test.'' Said Soma

''Why do you think we do the application here?" Asked the front desk guy.

''Uh isn't this the Totsuki Culinary Academy?" Asked Kagome.

''Oh no, this is the building where the janitors and the maintenance staff are all stationed at. The hall for the entrance examination is another building.'' Said the front desk guy.

''So where is the other building?" Asked Soma.

''Its 3km from here. You will see a big building, that is the school.'' Said the front desk guy all calm.

The two just heard that and had a shocking look. They would have to walk over 3 Km. This was going to be intense.

''3KM!'' Scream Kagome.

''I guess we better start walking if we don't wanna be late.'' Said Soma.

''When is Innuyasha when I need him?" Thought Kagome.

The two soon started to walk towards the big building. Along the way they saw a bunch of kids with fancy clothes all crying and pretty much throwing a tantrum.

''No! I failed the promotional exam!'' Scream one gy.

''Please! I bg you. I will donate over 20 million yens. So, please withdraw my son drop out.'' Said one parent grabbing some executives legs.

''My life is over!" Scream a random guy.

The two just saw those scenes in shock. Just how hard was to get into that school?

''Why are they so sad that they weren't accepted?" Asked Kagome.

''From what my father told me, this place is the best school of cooking in all of Japan. A superior elite school where less than 10% of the students graduate.'' Said Soma with a shiver and that made Kagome a little bit scared.

''I knew it was going to be tought. But not this way!' Scream her.

''i guess you and me ended up in a pickle.'' Said Soma with a smile.

''Yeah.'' Said Kagome a little sad.

Kagome didn't know if she should continue or not. However after all that crap she endured with Innuyasha and the others she wasn't a scared cat. She was going to cook something simple and tasty. Elite or not she wasn't a quitter.

Meanwhile at Feudal Japan.

''Inuyasha!'' Said Shippo.

''Yeah?" Asked the half demon all lazy.

''Come with us. We are hunting and fishing for the village tonight. It might be fun.'' Said Kohaku.

''You guys are doing small stuff. Call me when there is a demon to kill.'' Said him.

Inuyasha was bored out his mind. No big moves were done by either Naraku or Sesshomaru in a while. It was still the same deal of getting the pieces of the Jewel. He could always go see Kagome in the modern world, but he figures she would be doing something pretty boring right now.
