Chapter 2

My tears have dried but that memory still lingered in my mind. For the next several hours I sat on my bed and tried to remember some good things about my mother and little brother. I remembered the way my mother would smile every time I did something good. Gods I miss her smile it was so bright and full of love, I would give anything to see that smile again. I remember watching her when she put her make up on. I would just sit and watch she was so beautiful she didn't need to put much on and I remember asking her to teach me how to put it on, she told me she would when I get older. I guess that will never happen.

I remember my little brother, he was always full of so much energy it made me tired to just watch him. He was such a smart boy he would have done so much with his life but that was not to be and I mourn that loss everyday. I slowly swung my feet over the side of the bed I sat there for a second trying to bring my thoughts back to the present.

With these heavy thoughts on my mind I start my day like I do every other day but my mother and brother are never far from my thoughts. I looked at the clock next to my bed it was now 6:30. I needed to be at the office at 8:30 so I hade plenty of time to prepare for the day.

Due to the tragic events in my life I have come to realize that the world is full of chaos, so I must try to keep my own life in as much order as I can. The result of this concept is the daily routine I fallow. I must fallow it as closely as possible small fractures in this routine are bearable but nothing to drastic.

I start out by taking a shower, as a young girl I loved taking long showers, now I keep it to the bear minimum. I quickly washed my hair and body after I rinsed off I got out and dried, wrapping myself in a fluffy white towel then I went to pick out my cloths. My closet is very organized, there's a place for everything and everything is in its place, I group my cloths so it is easer to get what I need there is work cloths, around the house cloths, cleaning cloths, and out of the house casual cloths, I don't have much use for formal wear but I do have one dress. It belonged to my mother and it is my most treasured possession.

I grabbed a very conservative charcoal gray suit it had a skirt that went to just below the knees, there was a slit in the back to make walking easier, and it had a long sleeve button up shirt witch was worn tucked in and a matching jacket. I also grabbed a matching pair of shoes; they had a one inch hill. I laid it out on my bed. Next I went to my vanity table and brushed my hair and applied my make up, like my mother, I didn't use much, and every thing was in natural tones. With that finished I got dresses. Just before leaving my room I put my hair into a bun on the back of my head, one last look in the mirror to make sure every thing is in order, grabbed my shoes and headed to the kitchen. For breakfast I have a bowl of cereal a banana and a small glass of orange juice. It is now 7:30. I grab my suit case and keys from by the door, and slip on my shoes. I turn to the key pad on the wall and type in my code. I make sure I lock the door, my alarm system automatically turns on when the lock slides into place, and head to my car.

As I'm walking down the walk way I notice movement out of the corner of my eye but when I looked over there was nothing there. Shrugging it off I open my car put my suit case in the back seat and got in. Before I start the car I check all my mirrors and buckle my seat belt, with that done I star the car. As I'm pulling out I see that movement again I looked over to see what it was but still unable to see anything. I was about to get out and see what it was when I seen a cat run across my yard. Laughing slightly at myself for being so jumpy I put the car in reverse and backed out of the drive way. I really needed to hurry if I didn't leave now I was going to catch traffic.

I was pulling in to my parking space when I seen a small plaque on the wall in front of my car it was covered so I couldn't see what it said. Just then my aid came out of the building and stood next to the plaque. Slightly puzzled I gave her a questing look but she just smiled and asked me to come over.

"I saw them putting it up when I got here and wanted to surprise you." She was so excited nearly bouncing with her joy. A small smile tugged at the corner of my lips, she reminded me of Sota and what he would have been like if he were still around. She was 25, the same age Sota would have been, a small girl only about five foot one, she had long brown hair that she usually had wore half up half down with the upper half tied into a sideways pony tail. Large brown eyes, small nose, and full lips, she was the picture of innocence. Today she had on a skirt that stopped just above her knees, it was pink, and her shirt was white with short sleeves the neckline drooped and the fabric bunched around her collarbone. She had on clear lip gloss with a tint of pink, light eye shadow, and a little blush.

"What did they put here?" I asked but she was too excited, still bouncing up and down, I had to physically hold her still so I could get an answer from her. When she finally calmed down she pulled the cover off the plaque. I stared at it for a moment unable to say anything.

Reserved parking for:

Judge Kagome Higurashi

"Rin this… I don't… I mean…" I couldn't seem to get a complete sentence out.

"Were you always so good with words" she said with a slight raise of her eyebrow.

"But I know what you mean; you have worked so hard for this and I know what becoming a judge means to you I'm so happy for you."

She had tears in her eyes and I quickly stopped her

"Come now Rin don't cry if you start then I'm going to cry "

"Your right boss lady I'm just so happy for you."

"Thank you so much Rin I needed this my day didn't start out too good but this helped"

"That dream again?" she asked with worry in her eyes.

"Yes, but I'm okay." To prove my point I gave my most charming smile. She smiled back at me and together we went back into the office building. I needed to pack my things so I could move into the judge's chambers. As we walked through the halls to my old office people were congratulating me on my new position. I smiled brightly and nodded to every one who called my name.

"Kagome…I mean Judge Higurashi may I have a moment of your time?"

"Rin I'll catch up to you at my office"

She gave me a knowing look and continued on her way. I turned to the person who called my name.

"Good morning Inuyasha how may I help you"

"Now that you became a judge all you cases are being handed to me and I was just wondering if you want to get together with me…sometime…you know to talk about the cases" He said the last part in a rush.

I have known Inuyasha since we were children we were the best of friends. When my family died he took it almost as hard as I did. If it were not for him and his family I don't know if I would have been able to handle everything the way I did. I owe everything to him and his family. But lately he has wanted more out of our relationship, I love him so much but its more of the love for a brother. Every time I try to tell him he changes the subject or makes a joke, I know I should make him listen but I don't want to put our friendship at risk I don't know what I would do if we ever stopped being friends.

"I would love to but with my new job I have a lot of things I need to do I have new cases I need to look at but I'll see you at lunch same place okay."

With that said I gave him a big smile and turned to walk away but his hand on my arm stopped my I took a deep breath before turning around but the look in his eyes stopped my from saying anything

"Kagome…please…I..."

But I cut him off before he could say any more

"Inuyasha not now I can't deal with this right now I…"

I couldn't finish my sentence he cut me off I looked up at him and he gave me a quick shy smile before saying,

"What are you talking about I was going to say I want to pay this time."

He gave a short laugh and all I could do was nod my head. He let go of my arm and started walking away he raised his hand in parting and said

"Okay then I'll see you at lunch"

"Bye…"

When I got to my office Rin came at me

"So what did he want? I know he's your friend but he gives me some strange vibes, like he might turn into a stalker if you don't go out with him soon.

"Rin please, I've known Inuyasha my whole life, he wouldn't do something like that"

"I'm just telling you what I feel and he's giving off major stalker vibes"

I laughed and she gave me a hurt look

"I'm just saying…"

"I know stalker vibes got it now can we start packing I really want to get into my new office."

She just snorted and stuck her tongue at me this of course only made my laugh harder. After I got my self under control we started packing and in no time at all we were on our way to our new office.

As I walked in to the office I noticed a small white envelope on my new desk thinking it was a congratulation note or something along those lines I left it there till after I finished unpacking. As I was putting my desk top in order I moved the note into the in tray on the corner of my desk. It took me another two hours to get everything in order. I was currently sitting in my leather reclining chair relaxing. My mother would have been proud of what I have accomplished even if what she wanted for me was a career in medicine, she still would have been proud. With that thought on my mind I noticed the envelope in my in tray. I had a big smile on my face this day couldn't get any better I thought to my self. Little did I know how right I was. I slowly opened the letter thinking of all the grate thing I would be able to do now that I was a judge. I got the envelope open and pilled the paper out, unfolded it and read what was on it three words that terrified me more that anything else could

I FOUND YOU!
