*****Chapter 4*****

Akisame hung up the phone and was thinking about what he was just learned from his sister about his niece. He knew what it was like to lose friends and people close to you, but never thought Kagome would go though it at such a young age. He knew she would all of his support right now and knew he would have to tell everyone here so that they could help him make her feel better. With that in mind he walked back toward the training grounds were everyone was to let them know what had happened.

Walking outside and seeing Sakaki training Kenichi he walked to where the others sat and sat down still thinking about his niece and how to help her.

"So Akisame I take it that was your sister that called." Kensei said looking up from his magazine looking at his friend.

"Yes, that was my sister she was telling me how Kagome would be arriving in a few days or near the end of the week." He told them still thinking about the news of Kagome grieving.

Kenichi was limping towards his masters after his training with Sakaki he was starting to wonder if they were just trying to kill him and not train him. He heard what Akisame say about his sister calling and was looking forward to meeting a family relative of Akisame's and wondering what she would be like and pictured a female version of Akisame. He couldn't help the shudder that went do his spine at the thought of that and got a little scared of it.

"A Akisame what has you thinking so hard you have been happy here to last few days at the thought of her coming here. Are you starting to not like the idea or something?" Sakaki asked while opening a beer and drinking it he knew Akisame wouldn't change his mind about his niece but noticed the look on his face and was a little worried about what he was thinking about.

All the masters turned to face Akisame and looked at him seeing the same thing that Sakaki saw and started wondering what Akisame's sister could possibly have told him to make him go so deep in thought.

"Apa?" Apachai asked while looking at the older man.

"My sister just told me something about my niece that I hold hope to never hear that she would have to go though especially at her age." He told them.

They all were wondering what could have happened to the girl for Akisame to be this worried about her.

"Akisame what happened to you niece?" Old man Hayato asked on liking the tone in Akisame's voice he knew something was very wrong.

Sighing and looking at all of them, "My sister didn't give me in depth details about had happened, but from what I could get Kagome had been taking care of a boy and he had been killed right in front of her and she is grieving very badly. Before were Kagome was only coming here for school, she is now coming here to get away from everything there and trying to heal." He told them watching each of their expressions; he knew each and every one of them besides Kenichi and Miu had seen death up close and knew what it meant for someone young to be grieving.

Kenichi couldn't believe what he heard Akisame say and felt sorry for the girl and was thinking of ways to maybe help her feel better. He knew he probably wouldn't be of much help seeing as he had never lost anyone that close to him or seen someone die, but knew he would do anything in his power to help her

Miu was thinking along the same lines as Kenichi she was wondering what all she could do to help Akisame's niece when she got here and ways to cheer her up, she knew other than losing her mother at a young age she had never lost someone close to her but she knew she would try to help her.

Sakaki got very quiet he could understand why Akisame was upset no one wanted a kid to see the things that they had seen but it sounded like his niece had seen it and knew what it had felt like. He knew he would try and help Akisame's niece he knew from experience that healing from these kind of things was not easy in anyway but from hearing about her from Akisame he knew she was tough and would pull though this but just needed time.

Shigure knew what Akisame's niece was going though she had seen death since childhood she knew she would offer support to the younger girl but knew something's people just needed to have support to heal from so she would stand by and watch and support.

Kensei couldn't help but feel sorry for the girl for one so young to have already seen this, it made him think what was the world coming to if the young couldn't even enjoy being young anymore and knew he would try and help as he could.

Apachai knew what the girl was going though he could remember from his childhood of seeing his friends die while fighting and hoped he could help the girl once she got here.

Hayato was thinking deeply about what he had just heard and could understand why Akisame was upset and could only hope that it didn't have a deeply negative effect on the girl. From listening to Akisame over the years he knew she so a kind, loving child and hope that this wouldn't change her, but knew all he could do was watch and wait and offer aide when needed.

Akisame couldn't help but think along the same lines as Hayato, he could always remember Kagome smiling and laughing she rarely ever was sad and was hoping that if given time she would still be the smiling, laughing, and loving girl he remembered.

Hayato sighed drawing everything from their thoughts and looking at him, "Akisame I was all for her coming here before but I understand why she really needs to come here now and I know everyone here will do anything we can to help her." He said looking at the younger man when he saw Akisame and everyone nod that everyone would do what they could to help.

Nodding his head he was grateful that everyone would try to help him with Kagome and just hoped that she would be able to heal. He then rose to his feet and walked toward Kenichi, "Let us continue with your training." He said as he walked by Kenichi and waited for the boy to follow.

Kenichi was a little confused he didn't think Akisame would want to train him after what he had just learned as he walked after his sensei he couldn't help but ask. "Akisame, are you sure you want to train me today after what you learned from your sister about your niece?" he looked at the older man waiting for him to answer.

"Kenichi, I can understand that are worried about what you heard but till Kagome gets here there is nothing that can be done. I know my niece she hates to worry others and would be upset with me if she learned that I stopped doing everything just to worry about her. This is one of the reasons I know she will overcome this though she is young she has always been stronger than far older than her, it's another reason why I know you and Miu will probably end up being her best friends. Ever since she was a child she always drew people to her it is something my sister and I couldn't help but smile about, but I know she needs to heal right now and until she is here I will try to not worry about her." Akisame told Kenichi hoping that he would understand that deep down he would always worry about Kagome but for right now there was nothing he could do and worry right now would do nothing for him or her.

Kenichi gave Akisame a smile, "I think with a uncle like you sensei there probably isn't much your niece wouldn't be able to overcome." And for the first time since training there went willingly into one of the training machines that Akisame had made.

Akisame couldn't help but smile at the boy thinking maybe Kenichi was finally starting to grow up he could already see what a fine man he would be. He followed after his disciple and started his training hoping that Kenichi was right that Kagome would overcome this, but he knew he would have to watch and help her as he went. Getting back into a semi good mood he started to train Kenichi.

At the Higurashi shrine Kagome was sneezing while packing she couldn't help but think that someone was talking about her but knew there was nothing she could do and went back to packing her clothes and such into her suitcases.

It took a few more hours but she had finally finished packing everything that she would need , she would have been finished earlier but had come across the pictures she had taken while in the past and finding the drawings that Shippo had made for her and she had broke down crying again while looking at them. She packed them in with her stuff, one picture she couldn't help but keep out and look at while sitting in her window it was a picture of her with Shippo they had stopped to rest in a clearing with flowers everywhere. She had finally gotten Inuyasha to stop by making him eat dirt by saying sit a few times after explaining how to work the camera to Sango she had taken a picture of Kagome with Shippo on her lap smiling and hugging her arms while she was hugging him.

Kagome took in a shuddering breath and looked out at the tree that her little Shippo was resting under before stand up and sitting the picture down on her table and walking out of the room knowing she couldn't stay in there and went to spend some time with her family before she left tomorrow. Deep down she thought she was just running away, but knew she couldn't stay here not with all the memories she wouldn't be able to stand it. So walking down the stairs she decided to just enjoying being by her family for now hoping to take her mind off of everything that had happened .
