College

That Thursday morning, Kagome continued her search for the cheapest art school in Tokyo. After looking at the schools of music, she ruled her violin playing would be a hobby. The prices for those schools were outrageous! After browsing the web, she came across a community art college.

"4000 yen? WHAT?" She clicked on the school's website.

"Dusai's Community College of Art." She bit down on the cap of her pen as she read the rest of the information. It didn't provide dorms of course, but for only 4000 yen for two years? Kagome's family could afford that. She would go for the whole four years, but that would be asking too much.

"Find a good match yet dear?" her mom placed a glass of orange juice on the desk.

"Thank you, and I have. Dusai's Community College of Art. 4000 yen for two years."

"Oh my! That's really good! Do they have student housing?"

"No, I was planning to ask Sango could I crash with her until I can afford a place of my own." She drank the juice.

"I'm sure she would not mind. She's a sweet girl, and so lively. So, going to give that school a ring?"

"Yeah!" Kagome copied the school's number on some paper.

"That's good, I'm a bit sad you choose to leave home but, you are a young lady now. I guess it's time for you to leave the nest."

Kagome looked up at her mom and smiled. "Don't worry mom, your baby girl will be just fine."

"I know she will be." She kissed her forehead.

It was noon after Kagome ate breakfast, played a game and watched some TV. She left a voice-mail requesting information about the school but hasn't been called back yet. While she was waiting, she decided to call Eri and figure out why she turned ghost since graduation.

"H-h-heloooo." Her voice was slurred and raspy.

"Yo Eri, guess who?"

"Shit! Kagome? Ahhhh fuck…I'm so sorry I haven't been talking to you it's just I've been…really…really…really busy."

Something was a bit off with Eri. She knew it wasn't sleep because she picked up the phone too fast.

"Um, no it's fine, you alright? You sound funny."

"Yeaah. I'm…good. So what you been up to?"

"I'm planing on going to college in Tokyo! It's a community college, what about you?"

"I'm doing…some stuff. Uh…let me talk to you later alright?"

"Uhm…okay. Bye." Then she heard a click. Kagome raised an eyebrow at her cell. "That was weird." Just then, Sango called.

"Hey Kagome!"

"Hey Sango, I have some good news! I found a school in Tokyo I want to go to!"

"EEEEEK! Get the fuck outta here! Where?"

"Dusai's Community College of Art."

"Awesome! You can live with me! Do you know they are paying for Miroku's duplex while he's an intern? He just found that out a few minuets ago, which is why I called you! It's only for a year though, once they actually hire him, he'll be paying for it. It's a duplex and it is so huge Kagome! It has two bedrooms, you can have the other!"

"HELL---I mean HECK YES!" She was sitting in the living room, and her mother was right in the kitchen.

"Yeah and if the whole college thing doesn't work out, you can just live with us for free for a whole year! It will be fine!"

"I can't do that, I'd have to get a job or something." She chuckled.

"Fine fine, well, I'll let Miroku know that you'll be coming here to stay with us, and call me back about the college as soon as possible okay?" The house phone rang, much to Kagome's elation.

"Oo! Sango gotta go, that might be the college, I will call you RIGHT back all right?"

"Alright, bye chicky!"

"Bye!"

"Kagome! It's the school!" Her mom called. She got off the couch and ran in the kitchen.

"Thanks mom," she whispered, "Hello?"

"Yes this is Miss Tein of Dusai's Art School you want information about our school?"

"Yes, I wish to enroll."

"Oh okay, associates or bachelors?"

"Associates."

"Oh well okay, that program lasts two years, 2000 yen per year. All we need to do here is for you to mail us your transcript and your parents tax information, and in two business days we will contact to let you know weather not you qualify."

"Okay, thank you ma'am." She hung up the phone.

"What she say?" her mom asked excited.

"Well, I need your tax information, and I have to mail my transcript, and in two business days they'll let me know."

"Okay, I'll get the papers together." Mom scurried to the office room.

Kagome dialed Sango back. "Hello?"

"Sango! That was the school, after I send them some stuff, they'll let me know Monday weather not I qualify."

"I know you'll be accepted, you're really smart, so in the time I was waiting, Miroku said it was cool you stay here."

"Awesome! Well, I'll let you help Miroku finish packing, call me so I'll meet you at the train tomorrow."

"Yeah, ok, see you soon Kagome!"

"Yeah, soon!"

Kagome smiled. "For the first time, taking a chance never seemed so much fun." It was too late to turn back now. She was going to Tokyo!

"Look out Tokyo, Tsunami Kagome will touch down soon!" she shouted.

"Shut up! People are trying to meditate!" grumpy grandpa called.

"Eh…" she rolled her eyes and went to her room; Souta's loud mouth would be home from school soon anyway, so his meditation time or whatever he liked to call it, will end shortly.
