Chapter 1: Please Kagome?

The birds were chirping happily, the sky was clear and blue, the trees were lush and pure green, and the sun shone happily upon the Earth. This could only mean one thing: It was summertime. Kagome stretched her arms as she made her way up the stairs to her house. She felt tired from the long and hot day at school. She had classroom chores on her last day of school which sucked, but at least the day was over. She was finally finished with her first year of high school and she had just barely passed! She was so happy that it was summer vacation, but what a vacation she would have.

Collecting the remaining shards of the sacred Shikon no Tama was more like work than vacation. Kagome didn't mind though. She enjoyed the company of InuYasha and her other friends in the Feudal Era. Kagome held the Shikon no Tama before her brown eyes. The jewel sparkled from the sun's rays. Nearly half of it was complete and this made her break out a small smile.

"I'm sure we'll collect most of it this summer. Maybe even the whole thing." Kagome said aloud.

Kagome slipped the half-completed jewel around her neck and opened the door to her house. A fresh breeze of cool air caressed her face. When she entered her house she noticed that the air conditioner was on full-blast. The heat was unbearable outside, and walking into her house was relieving.

"Ahhh, that feels so good." Kagome said with pleasure with her face right in front of the air-conditioner.

"Oh, welcome home Kagome." Miss Higurashi said with a smile.

"Hey mom, where are Souta and Grandpa?"

"Oh, he didn't come home with you? Maybe he had classroom chores for the last day of school also. Grandpa is just in the kitchen looking through the refrigerator, what a pig! Dinner will be ready soon, he's so impatient!" Miss Higurashi replied.

Kagome giggled and watched her mother go into the kitchen to finish making dinner. Suddenly Souta came through the door. He slammed it quite hard and when he turned around, he had a frown on his face. He walked into the living-room and sat down next to Kagome.

"Where have you been?" Kagome asked.

"I was with Hitomi." Souta said in a sad tone.

"What's wrong with you?"

"...Hitomi is transferring to another school and moving out of Tokyo." Souta said gloomily, "I'm really going to miss her because she's moving far away...she's moving to America."

"Don't worry Souta, I'm sure you'll see her again." Kagome said, trying to console him as best as she could.

Souta looked so depressed, it made Kagome feel bad for him. Without Hitomi around, his summer was going to be so dreary and boring. He had friends but it seemed like it wouldn't be the same without the first girlfriend he's ever had. Kagome felt so bad so she tried to think up a way to make Souta feel better. Before she could think of anything, Souta got up and began to walk up the stairs sluggishly.

"Where are you going?" Kagome questioned.

"...To my room"

"Dinner's almost ready." Kagome said.

Souta turned around and made his way back down the stairs and sat down at the dinner table waiting for his food with a frown. Poor Souta, he looked so miserable. Souta sat there quietly with his head down waiting, when finally dinner was ready.

"Here Souta, eat up now." Miss Higurashi said as she placed the food in front of Souta.

Souta ate his food slowly, while Kagome gobbled hers down. She was going back to the Feudal Era tomorrow morning and she wouldn't have time to eat. Kagome was going to be there the whole summer so she was going to pack a lot of things. She was also excited because there was going to be a summer festival, so she was going to bring her best Kimono for the occasion.

"Kagome, can I ask you a question?" Souta asked, with a little more life in his voice.

Kagome swallowed, "Umm, yeah, sure."

"Well since I don't have anything to do here for the summer," Souta began, "Will...will you take me to the Feudal Era with you?"

Kagome stopped eating for a minute. She didn't know what answer to give to Souta. Kagome would have said no if Souta wasn't in such a gloomy mood about Hitomi, but it was dangerous there for him. What was she going to do?

"I think that's a great idea Kagome!" Miss Higurashi said suddenly.

Kagome turned her head and looked at her mother suddenly, shocked, "Mom, but it's really dangerous for him to go there! Demons lurk all over the place!"

"Yes, I know Kagome. When you left I was terribly worried about you too, but InuYasha is always there. I can trust InuYasha with you and Souta, can't I? And it's only for the summer." Miss Higurashi stated.

Souta looked up at his sister with puppy-like eyes, "Please Kagome? I'll be good and I won't bother InuYasha!"

Kagome looked at him and thought once more, "Go pack before I change my mind."

Souta jumped up in bliss. He hugged his sister tightly and said thank you. He didn't say any more because he knew that if he did, she might change her mind. Souta ran up the stairs like a bolt of lightning.

"Don't forget to pack your favorite Kimono!" Kagome yelled up the stairs, "And when you're done, come down and finish your dinner, we won't be eating tomorrow!" She heard a faint 'okay' and got back to finishing her dinner.
