Chapter 5
A/n: sorry I haven't updated, but I had a few competitions, F-CAT (If you don't live in Florida lucky you) and midterms all crammed together.
Kagome awoke from her bed in a pleasant mood. She had forgotten how comfortable a bed is while she was away. To make things even better, she was on summer vacation, and she had just finished her exams, which meant she had absolutely nothing to catch up on …for once.
Although Kagome would have loved nothing more than to stay in bed all day, she forced herself to get out of bed and to get dressed for the new day ahead of hers. "After all," she told herself, "my high school exams should be coming in soon. I don't want to be remembered as the girl who found out her scores in her pajamas. I want to be reading or even better, I want to be with my family when I open my exam review."
Kagome had just finished dressing and was downstairs eating breakfast when the mail had come in. Her mother's hands shook fiercely with anticipation.
"Kagome open it," her brother, Soto, commanded as her mother handed her the envelope.
Kagome didn't even respond to her brother. She held her breath and closed her eyes as she ripped the envelope and opened the letter.
"Dear Miss Kagome Higure, blah, blah, blah, blah. Oh I've found it! Due to your 96 percentile score that was based on all junior high students in Japan, you have been recommended to the finest high schools in Japan. Your junior high school will be paying half of your tuition as long as your grade remains above a 'C.'" Kagome read.
Her mother and brother held her close as her grandfather reached for the letter:
"The tuition will be paid as long as you attend a boarding high school. We are concerned about the number of days you miss at school and your lack of health. The boarding schools in Tokyo have the best clinics for your chronic illnesses.
Sincerely yours,
School Master Kaguryo"
"What?!" Kagome yelped as she grabbed the letter to read it. After a few minutes of pondering over the letter she stood up from the table, "I'll do it."
Soto looked at the school list, "there's so many, how can you choose?'
"Kakikra is suppose to be the best boarding school in all of Tokyo. I want to go there." Kagome said triumphantly.
"That school opens next month." Kagome's mother stated matter-of-factly.
"Don't worry, they get out for summer earlier than anyone else." Soto replied.
"I remember that school," Kagome's grandfather replied, " Even if they leave for summer vacation earlier, their summer is shorter than any other school, except maybe the universities."
"It's settled then, I will leave in two days to tell everyone in the feudal time and then I'll come back to pack." Kagome said with a hint of guilt in her heart. She felt like she was betraying her friends to find the jewels.
The two days went by quickly and soon Kagome was loaded up with supplies or her friends. It was the least she thought she should do. She had owed them that much at least.
When she popped her head out of the well she could tell she had chosen the wrong time to come. The sky was as pitch black as the tar used to pave the road. Rain was definitely coming. Lightening lit up the sky like a flashlight lights up a darken ally way. The wind howled and Kagome had to lean forward and use all of her strength to push her body forward. By the time she reached Kaede's hut she was exhausted.
"Come in, come in my poor child. Miroku, Sango, Shippo and Inuyasha are all here sleeping."
Kagome was soon in a deep sleep.
Hours after Kaede had fallen asleep an invigorating scent filled Inuyasha's sleeping nose. He got up and walked towards the door. He manage to leave without anyone stirring from their sleep. He entered a field that seem protected from the rain. Flowers circled around this stone that was just long enough for someone to lay down on. Sitting on this gray stone Waikiki herself with flowers in her hair and a white dress that hid her ankles.
"Inuyasha, when we kissed, I felt it and I know you felt it too." She whispered. It sent chills up Inuyasha's spine.
"Felt what?" Inuyasha growled.
"Our old connection of course. The one thing we shared together that you haven't…never mind." Kikyo responded.
Inuyasha just growled at her ridiculous response.
"If you didn't feel any attraction between us, then kiss me again." Kikyo retorted. This time Inuyasha closed in for the kiss.
Kagome awoke to the most heavenly music she had ever heard to find a bright blue speck hovering just inches from her face. The blue dot danced around and then headed for the door with Kagome following hypnotically behind it.
The farther away from the hut Kagome got, the worst the weather got. Soon Kagome was crawling in the grass, barely keeping up. The dot led Kagome to an open field with flowers encircling a stone in the center. Kagome crept forward to see what was going on.
"Inuyasha?" Kagome called without audio. It had seemed that Inuyasha had already chosen a mate for himself and his mate was Kikyo. Kagome had even seen The bite mark on Kikyo's neck signifying that even if they were not done, they were mated for life.
"Inuyasha?" Kagome called barely above audio.
