HEY GUYS!

IT IS ME. I'M ALIVE.

SOOOOO I have noticed that though I thought this story to be a failure, when I have other updates you guys come to this story (THANKS! THANKS…) Just kidding! Seriously, you guys surprise me all the time and so with my OH-SO-MENTALLY-DEVELOPED ability (?) I am planning on going through each chapter and correcting all grammar and stupid errors.

This may take a while, but I promise that this story will be SO MUCH BETTER.

THANKS FOR ALL THE SUPPORT GUYS 3

Chapter 1: The Letter
A shrill scream rang through a nearly vacant home in the middle of Tokyo, Japan. The scream belonged to that of an alarm clock nicely placed beside a tangle of blankets and sheets.

A hand crept out slapping random areas until it slapped the button placed blatantly at the top. The mass shifted over to the edge as a head full of black hair popped out by the side.

"Stupid alarm clock…" she muttered aloud. She looked up, her chocolate eyes almost glaring at the peeking sun behind her blinds. She glanced at the clock. "Five more minutes…" she sighed.

She slowly began to drift back to her unconscious state when she heard a slight tapping on the window. She instantly got up, pushing the blinds away. A very small part of her was hoping desperately that a certain hanyou was the one tapping at the window.

To her disappointment, a snowy white owl was perched on the window sill, holding what seemed to be an aged letter in its beak. She sighed but quickly opened her window. "Hey there little fella." She whispered as she looked at the letter. Her eyes widened at what was written. "What is this?"

On the front was written the following in flourishing cursive:

Kagome Higuarshi
1617 Blossom Road
Japan, Tokyo
Second Bedroom on the Left from the Stairs

Her eyes only widened even further. She quickly slit the and quickly pulled out the folded letter inside. There it was once again written in cursive:

Dear Ms. Higuarshi,

We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted into the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. We hope that by now you have noticed that you hold and wield powers far beyond human boundaries in, which case, we recognize as magic. Since you are seventeen years of age, you will be placed with the fifth years if you are willing to accept our offer. Please be at the train station at platform 9 3/4 at 12:00 PM exactly on September 1st to be on the first train headed towards Hogwarts. We hope to see you soon.

Head of Gryffindor House,
Minerva McGonagall

She read it over once more. And again. And again. It seemed that no matter how many times she scanned the content, it never seemed to process.

"KAGOME! BREAKFAST!" her mother yelled below.

"C-Coming!" Kagome yelled back. She looked over the letter once more before. Without another second to lose, she ran out of her room making no significant adjustment to her physical appearance.

"Mom! MOM!" Kagome continually screamed as she ran down the stairs.

"What?" Her mother asked a bit worriedly. She walked out of the kitchen, wiping her hands on her apron. Her eyebrows burrowed uncertainly. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing's wrong!" Kagome replied a bit excitedly. "I-It's just that I got this acceptance letter from some place called Hogwarts where it's based on magic…?" She looked down at the now crumpled paper in her tightening hands.

"Hogwarts?" her mother repeated a bit surprised.

"A-Am I going crazy?" Kagome uncertainly mused. "Or is this some horrid prank?"

"My, I didn't expect a letter from them so late in the summer time."

"What do you mean' expect'?"

"Well, for one matter, you're not going crazy dear, though, your appearance would argue otherwise…"

"Mom…" Kagome groaned. She was not in the mood for jokes.

"It's nothing to fret over," her mother calmly replied. A small smile came through. "After all, your father graduated from that wonderful school. Such charming prospects I've heard."

"Dad graduated from there?" Kagome was a bit surprised. Rarely did she ever hear anything about her father from her mother.

"Told me he was at the top of his class." Her mother's facial expression turned melancholic as the memories came rushing back. "Whenever he mentioned the school, he was always full of smiles…"

Kagome stood there quietly, uncertainly. It did not seem right to just interfere her mother's moment of remembrance at such a time. Instead, her mother stopped herself.

"In fact, I'm not at all surprised that you got accepted." She continued. "Though, I didn't expect it to arrive at such a late notice."

"Terribly late." Kagome emphasized. She held the letter in front of her mother. "Apparently I have to go to London in two days! Where will I find the time to pack? To buy supplies? What about my high school-?"

"Library voices in the house, dear." Her mother interrupted. Kagome quickly quieted down. "There's nothing to worry about, Kagome. Truthfully, your father and I were already well aware of how applicable you were to go to the boarding school…"

"Hogwarts is a boarding sch-?" Kagome suddenly yelled.

"But we were afraid that deciding her future would put too much stress when making your own decisions." Her mother continued, ignoring her. "But just in case you were willing to go to school there, we had already bought your school supplies years ago. Everything's been arranged except you packing your belongings."

"…" Kagome stood there staring at her mother. Sometimes, she was just unreadable.

"Now hurry up and eat your breakfast," her mother commanded turning around to go back into the kitchen. "You'll need the energy for today. You'll have to pack all your things and then go out with me to pick up your school supplies and pack them up as well.

Kagome was silent as she quietly nibbled on her portion, unsure of what to make of the situation. Once finished, she quietly ventured upstairs as she laid out the plan for her packing and began.

"I hate packing!" she hissed to herself. The moon was shining through her window, peeking into her almost empty room. She fell backwards onto her bed and hugged the pillow tightly against her head. Her mind wandered off to the past.

"Maybe he won't come for me after all…" she whispered to herself. She was quiet for a while as she listened to the quiet ticking of her alarm clock as well as the outside nightly liveliness. She sat up, reaching for the letter on her night table.

She looked over it as a sad smile ran over her frown. "Maybe this is a chance for me to finally grow up."

"Kagome!" her mother yelled from downstairs. "Would you prefer a cat or an owl?"

"…What?"

TO BE CONTINUED...

So, how was it? Good? Bad? Better? Worse?
