Moving Forward

Chapter one: The new journey

.

Kagome was vaguely aware that she had been in the well house for a few hours, but that wasn't forefront in her mind at the moment, she was too busy explaining to Chiyoko about her time period for anything else to matter anyways. She found that the cat demon was very curious, much like Kagome in that aspect, and that Chiyoko was just itching to show Kagome her weapon forms and the rest of them so that they could train together.

After a while of getting to know one another, Kagome and Chiyoko emerged from the well house with a concealment charm around both of them to evade possible conflicts and suspicion. To any other person, Kagome was wearing an average school uniform and holding a black kitten in her arms, when in reality, Kagome was dressed in a deep green sleeveless fighting kimono that had slits up to mid thigh to allow movement with black hakama and black Chinese shoes for comfort. Over the kimono, she wore a silver chest plate that was molded to her very... generous figure, with matching shoulder and knee plates, her bow and quiver full of arrows hung limply from her shoulders and Chiyoko snoozed lightly on her armor-covered arms in her cat form, three tails swishing happily from side to side.

Kagome dropped the concealment spell as soon as she was inside her home, surprising her family when her attire changed suddenly and the cat in her arms changed colors and grew two more tails. The look on their faces made her giggle which snapped them out of whatever they had been thinking; her mother spoke "Kagome! You're back so soon... Did something happen?" The sound of her mother's voice made her want to tell her everything, but she knew she should not press her story on her mother like that so she settled for half of it "We defeated Naraku..." her mother caught her drift "But...?" Kagome sighed "But there is still something I need to do apparently, though I want to finish school too..." Mrs. Higurashi's expression changed from worried to releaved then to nervous "About school, Kagome" her daughter snapped to attention "Well, you see... Your high school called yesterday and they said that due to all of your absences, they had to either expel you or transfer you; I asked them where they would transfer you and they told me you'd be transferred to a school in Death City which is in the state of Nevada in the United States of America" The reaction the news brought from Kagome was certainly not the one they had been expecting, she actually looked exited! What happened to the girl that would have freaked out at being "shipped away" as she would have put it?

Kagome squealed and hugged her mother "What'd you say to them? Did you say yes? Did you? Please tell me you did!" Mrs. Higurashi knew her daughter knew something she did not, she wasn't sure what it was, but one look at her sparkly eyed daughter was all it took for a smile to form on her motherly face "Yes dear, I told them to send me the papers, since you had such good grades before your "sicknesses" hit, they even agreed on a scholarship for you-" another squeal was heard, making the rest of the Higurashi's laugh "-So you better start packing up honey, it's an awfully long trip to the States Kagome and you'll have to disguise your cute friend again if you plan on taking her with you" With that, Kagome and Chiyoko were ushered upstairs to pack whatever they wished to bring with them.

"I'm guessing this is the reason I was forced to learn two more languages? I mean I already knew English thanks to dad, but seriously, Italian too? And French just had to be the next one, I really don't know when I'm going to need those..." Kagome knew she was ranting, her cheeks puffed out in a childish pout when she heard laughter come from behind her "Chiyoko! Don't be mean, it was hard to learn them!" She turned around fully expecting to see a cat with three tails, instead she saw a twelve year old girl with shoulder-length dark blue hair with icy blue streaks in it, dressed in a purple sun dress sitting on her bed, tails and ears gone but her eyes, claws and fangs stayed the same... she was still laughing at her "I'm sorry Lady Kagome, but I'm interested to hear exactly what kind of training Lady Midoriko put you through, surely it wasn't just about combat and weapons?" what a curious kitty Chiyoko was, Kagome shook her head at the thought "First of all, don't call me Lady Kagome, it makes me sound like some stuck-up old woman or some kind of royalty, calling me Kagome will do. As for my training... It covered many things Midoriko thought necessary for me to know like my studies, she helped me excel in math! I never knew it could be so easy and she helped me on different subjects too, saying she didn't want me behind on anything and would prefer that I was advanced in everything she could teach me and with her being sent to me by the Kami themselves, there were a lot of things I needed to learn. She taught me healing remedies, poisons and basic incantations for strong illusions and barriers, she even taught me how to make sutras!" Kagome grinned happily and sat on the bed next to Chiyoko, who looked at Kagome in a new light, in her eyes there was a look pure adoration 'I want to be like her when I'm older, I have to train to make her proud" Chiyoko was brought out of her musings by a hand waving in front of her face which she followed curiously with her eyes, gaining a giggle from her friend beside her "You my friend, are the personification of cats all over the world" only when Kagome dropped her hand back to her side did Chiyoko snap out of her daze "Huh?" Kagome laughed and stood up to continue packing.

"Kagome~! The papers for your new school are here!" The youngest of the Higurashi siblings yelled, even he was eager to see what kind of school his sister would be going to. Kagome responded with a muffled "I'm coming Souta!"

Five minutes later, the small family assembled in the living room, waiting for Kagome to read what the papers had to say. She skimmed through it a few more times and cleared her throat to catch their attention "It says here that me and Chiyoko will be going to a school called DWMA in Death City, Nevada in the United States of America for the rest of my high school years with a scholarship and I'm apparently a transfer student, it also says someone else is free to accompany me..." Kagome scanned the page once more "Oh and I'll be living in an apartment near the school too" Her family looked surprised about her accommodations but said nothing of it.

"They even included the airplane ticket! My flight is in... An Hour? Chiyoko, c'mon! We have to get our suit cases to the airport! Damm I hope we don't miss our flight, can you please change into your whip form?... Good, this will make it easier to pass through security" Kagome placed a concealment spell around Chiyoko, who was attached to her waist in whip form, and herself as she hefted her suit cases into the taxi her mother called when she heard her frantic cry about the time. Kagome and Chiyoko left for the airport after saying goodbye to Kagome's family and they made it just in time to go through security and into their flight.

Once in the plane, Kagome placed a barrier around where Chiyoko and herself were sitting, so her companion could change into her cat form without trouble. Now the cat demon was curled up in her lap, purring contentedly when Kagome stroked her soft fur, then something strange happened- Kagome heard Chiyoko's voice inside her head "I must be out of my mind" she muttered to herself, but then she heard it again, this time it sounded amused "Nope, you're completely sane, Kagome. This is just another one of my abilities, very useful if I do say so myself" Kagome looked at the cat in her lap in a puzzled fashion "Can I talk to you in my mind then?" She heard Chiyoko's laugh in her head "Yeah, you can. Now start doing it because people are going to stare" Kagome huffed in her mind "Fine, jeez" And so the rest of the plane ride was spent with Kagome and Chiyoko's mental conversations with each other, getting to know one another better than before.

Kagome stretched her sleeping leg and arm muscles when she left the airport with Chiyoko perched on her shoulder, being on a plane for a long amount of time was very tiring for an active girl like Kagome since she was used to be on the move and all. Chiyoko gave a tired yawn from her spot on Kagome's shoulder "Will we get there soon, Kagome? I wanna run around for a bit" Kagome resisted the urge to laugh at her friend's childish statement "Don't worry kitten, we'll get there after we take another taxi" Kagome had taken to calling Chiyoko "kitten" during their telepathic conversations, as a way of endearment of course, Kagome meant no form of disrespect for her friend.

"Waaaa, Kagome! Not another taxi! They smell bad..." If Chiyoko had been in her human form, Kagome was sure she would have wrinkled her nose "Just bear with it for a little bit longer, ok? Please?" Seeing her friend nod, Kagome called for a taxi that could take them to Death City, where her new school was.

"Chiyoko... Chiyoko, you're getting your kitty drool all over my armor!" Almost immediately, Chiyoko's eyes opened and she looked around, it looked like they had finally arrived at their apartment building so she stretched in a very catlike way and hoped off of Kagome's lap to observe her surroundings, waiting until Kagome finished paying the taxi driver to once again perch herself on her shoulder "Chiyoko, could you please change into your human form? I kinda need help with the suitcases and the boxes..." Chiyoko complied and turned into her human form in a small puff of smoke, causing Kagome to sneeze.

"Alright then, let's go! I want to see what it looks like from the inside!" Chiyoko was jumping up and down in her excitement. Kagome took her hand and led her inside, their suitcases and boxes in tow.

They settled in quite quickly and found the apartment very homy-looking with its dark golden colored walls and sleek wooden floors. The apartment had two bedrooms, but they chose to share one since it was big enough for the both of them; it had a decent-sized kitchenette ready to be stocked, a den with a couch, a love-seat and a coffee table, a bathroom complete with a bathtub that served as a shower because of the shower head it had and a small room they would turn into a study later on. All in all, it was a pretty cool apartment.

"Chiyoko! We need to talk to the school's principal about the enrollment!" Kagome had no idea of the surprise she was about to get when she saw just who exactly was the principal of her new school. Chiyoko had an idea of who it could be thanks to the talk she had with Midoriko before she met Kagome, she was a bit scared of meeting Death face-to-face, but she knew now that she could do it with Kagome by her side, she just wondered what her friend's reaction would be...
