Kagome woke up at six o'clock in the mourning and graoned. It was her first day at Karakura high and she was not looking forward to it.

The weekend she had relaxed and played games with Souta. She ran into Ichigo at the mall when he was with a group of people but she left before anyone else saw her. She didn't want new friends. She wanted her old ones that were at school and the feudal era. She missed her Kit.

Her aunt agreed to let her go to the feudal era Before winter break. She was thinking of leaving on a wednesday and returning on the next monday. It would work. The flu was going around. She didn't want to go to school.

She took a shower and wore her new uniform. She frowned at the colors. They reminded her of bad times. the red tie in the gray suit reminded her of Naraku when he stepped out of the fog. She shivered at the memories.

She walked down stairs and saw Souta at the table eating. She sat down and ate also. They ate in silence. When they were done Chieko walked with Souta to school. "Kagome. Want me to walk with you?"

"No. I know where I am going." Yesterday she walked around town to find everything.

She walked to school not talking to anyone. She heard someone yell 'Kagome' But didn't turn. Finally a hand landed on her shoulder. She looked up at Ichigo and saw him smirk. "I was trying to get your attention. So. Starting school today?"

She continued to walk but finally answered. "Yes."

"How is your little brother? Is he good?"

"Yes." Shen looked straight ahead. Ichigo looked over and saw how dull her eyes were. He couldn't help but pitty her. It was strange. He normally didn't care about anyone but he guessed he was nice to her because she actually knew what he went through unlike all his other friends. 'Maybe Rukia. But she never had parents.' They walked in to the school yard and Ichigo steerd her much to her disapproval to a group of people she had never seen before. She looked around.

She sensed high power but only in that group of people. 'Are they monks or mikos? I dont know but I want to find out.' She could tell that they had powers but not demonic. So what? She looked around and saw a girl with black shoulder legth hair standing near Ichigo. She guessed the girl was about 5'4. Another girl was there. She had red that was down to themiddle of her back. She was bubbly. Next there was a guy with glasses. She couldn't see his eyes because the sun glinted off of them. He was wearing a frown and had short hair except the front which there was two long chunks that framed his face. He was standing next to the girl with red hair. Then in the back stood a giant. He was tall. He had dark skin and had dark hair. His eyes were down cast and around his neck was a coin.

Ichigo introduced everyone to her. "This is Rukia, that is Orihime. Next to her is Uryu. He doesn't talk much, and that in the back is Chad." Orihime waved and smiled.

"Nice tio meet you...ummm miss..." "Kagome. Kagome Higurashi." Kagome put on a fake smile and shook everyones hands.

Finally Ichigo continued. "Kagome just moved here and my dad asked to make her feel welcomed. Apparently him and her aunt know eachother. Before my mom died. She lives here now."

Orihime asked with curiosity. "Where are you from? Why did you move here.?"

Kagome looked down. She hated talking about her home. "I am from Tokyo. I moved here after my mom died." Orihime pouted and said appoligetically. "Sorry I didn't mean to bring it up."

"Its okay you didn't know. I just dont really like talking about it." Rukia decided to change the subject.

"So how do you like Karakura town so far?"

"Its neighborly so me and my brother feel at home."

"You have a brother?"

"Yes his name is Souta. He is ten."

The bell rang just then and everyone piled in. Kagome walked to the office and got her schedule. The first class was algebra so she went there. She walked in and saw Ichigo and Rukia. She took the seat on the other side of Rukia and sat down. The rest of the school day went like that. She had a class with someone in the group and so she always had someone to sit next to. Mainly it was Rukia and Ichigo. After school Kagome walked to Souta's school to take him home.

When he saw her he ran and hugged her. He took her hand and they walked home. Trying to start a convorsation Souta started. "So sis how was school?"

"Good. I met some friends. It still feels funny. I am not used to school. What with Inuyasha and the gang. I never had time for studies."

Souta looked at the ground." I miss Inuyasha." He suddenly smiled and tried to lighten the mood. "I bet your not used to school due to all 'Sickness' you had."

Kagome laughed. "I think only grandpa could come up with me having so many life threatening diseases and live. I am surprised no one got suspisious of me."

They rounded the corner and walked inside the house.

The rest of the week happened like that. Kagome went to school. Talked to the people and went to class. She was surprised how much people here reminded her of the feudal era.

Ichigo was like Inuyasha. Obnoxious and highly prideful. Not only that but he had a bad temper. Sometimes she wished he was Inuyasha so she could sit him.

Rukia reminded her as Sango. She was kind and acted like a sister to her.

Orihime was like Rin. The adorable ward of Sesshomaru. She was bubbly and seemed innocent and niave.

Uryu reminded her of Sesshomaru. He was cold to all except sometimes to Orihime. Which made since. She was Rin and he was Sesshomaru. Just like feudal Japan but 500 years later.

Chad didn't reall remind her of anyone. He was kinda like Miroku. Not a pervert but very insite full and full of wisdom. He was fun to talk to.

The perverted side of Miroku was portrayed by Mizuiro Kojima who flirted with her on the first day.She was happy that she had found people who had characteristics she was used to but she still didn't have a Shippo. Or Naraku. She shivered at the thought. She wondered what they were up to.

That weekend they went back to the well house and shrine in Tokyo. Souta went up to moms room and Kagome went to her grandfathers room. She looked around and got some arrows for practice. Souta got some games he didn't take last time. Kagome contacted her friends and went to the mall to catch up.

They arrived back home around midnight and fell asleep. Sadely tomarrow was monday and she really didn't feel like going.

But she didn't know how much time would change for her.

----------------------------------------FEUDAL ERA----------------------------------------------------

Sango Miroku and Inuyasha sat in Kaede's hut and discussed new tactics. Ever since Kagome had left there have been demoned attacks left and right.

Miroku looked at Inuyasha. "No Inuyasha you cant get Kagome. If she came here she could get hurt. The demons aren't letting up. Kagome doesn't need to be in the middle.

Sango nodded. "It would only put her in a bigger risk."

Inuyasha sighed. He knew they were right but he missed her. Suddenly a thought came to him. He looked up. "Where is the runt?"

"They went to get some hurbs for lady Kaede." Answered miroku. Inuyasha stood up and exited the hut stopping at the door he said. "Im going to find them Demons could come." He took off and went to the woods.

He was jumping tree to tree when he heard a scream. ' that sounds like...SHIPPO' "Shippo!!!!!! Where are you?"

He ran as fast as he could. He came to a clearing and saw something humched over. He jumped and kicked it in the head. The monster turned and Inuyasha saw that it was a dragon demon. (not ah-un) He charged at the demon and punched it. It fell to the ground. Inuyasha looked over and saw Shippo on the ground knocked unconcious. Inuyasha grew mad. He always thought of the kit as a little brother. Inuyasha drew out his sword and aimed it as it transformed. "Wind scar!!!!"

The demon howled as it died. Inuyasha ran to Shippo and picked him up. He quickly saw that Shippo had gashes on his arms, legs, and stomach. He ran to Kaedes. He burst through the door and ran to the old Woman. "Kaede Shippo got attacked and he is knocked unconcious." Kaede took Shippo and cleaned his wounds.

Finally she stepped out of the hut to find everyone around the fire. Sango was crying on Miroku's chest as he rubbed her back. Inuyasha was in a tree with tears going down his face. Kilala was in Sango's lap and was looking sad everyonce in a while mewing in saddness. Kaede walked to the fire and sat down. "Shippo is stable. Ye may go see him." Everyone got up and went to Shippo. They took turns talking to his unconcious form. Kilala rubbed against him and purred soothingly. Sango hugged him and whispered to wake up. Miroku prayed for him and finally Inuyasha sat down near him. He asked everyone to leave and so he sat in the candle light room.

"Hey Shippo. I know you cant hear me but maybe somehow you can hear me... You need to be strong and wake up. Everyone misses you runt. Kilala has no one to play with. Kagome should return soon and im sur eshe will miss her Kit. She thinks of you like a son. And .. oh heck I miss you to. Your like a little brother. I miss you. So please wake up." With that he left the hut and jumped into a tree falling into a fitful sleep.
