A/N: Hey, this isn't edited yet, sorry it got super late and I have school tomorrow. Tomorrow evening I'll probably edit the chapter and let you all know when it's done.

This chapter is now edited.


Kikyo opened her eyes and glanced around, where am I? Suddenly her memories flooded back to her and she sighed, she rose from the bed and walked towards her bathroom. This house is truly over the top, she thought as she quickly got ready for school. She looked at her phone and saw the time, I'm late, she ran down the stairs and raced towards the front door.

"Kikyo," Mai asked. Kikyo turned and saw she and Koshiro glancing at her curiously. "Where are you going in such a hurry?"

"I'm going to be late for school."

"It's only 6:30." Koshiro said.

"It will take me at least 30 minutes on the train, then another 15 to get to the school."

"Don't be silly, Kikyo, we'll have the town car take you." Mai smiled. "Now come sit with us and eat breakfast."

"That really isn't necessary." Kikyo smiled uncomfortably.

"We insist." Koshiro smiled and motioned her over.

Kikyo sat her bag near the door and walked over to where the two sat, she took a seat and placed her hands on her lap, staring down at them.

"Would you like a roll?" Mai broke the tense silence.

Kikyo smiled. "Thank you." She took a bite out of the roll and her mouth watered. "This is amazing."

Mai laughed. "I know, we truly have a genius in the kitchen."

Koshiro took a sip of coffee. "So, Kikyo, how are your studies."

"Oh, well, you know, the same as always." Kikyo said awkwardly.

"Don't be modest Kikyo, she's always been a brilliant student, she wants to be a doctor, don't you Kikyo?"

Kikyo flushed red and she stared down at her lap. "Yeah." She said meekly.

"We should start a college fund for you, where do you want to go somewhere local, or overseas?" Koshiro asked.

"That's really not needed." Kikyo spoke quickly. "You're already letting me stay here and I wouldn't feel right accepting more money from you."

Koshiro gave her a small smile and Mai sighed. "Kikyo, you know I think of you as my own child, let us help you." Mai said.

"If she doesn't want our help we can't force it on her," Koshiro spoke. "I can respect that she wants to work and support herself. Kikyo, you should probably head to school before it gets too late, just tell the driver and he'll take you."

"Thank you." Kikyo stood and hurried to the door. Outside she sighed and leaned against it, then she looked up and saw the town car, next to it stood a driver trying to compose himself. Kikyo smiled and hurried to the car opening the door on her own. "I'm going to school, I'll give you the address."

The man quickly rushed around and sat in the front seat, he seemed in a hurry.

"So you really have to stand near the car all day?" Kikyo asked from the backseat.

The man relaxed a bit and leaned back in the seat. "Yes, miss."

Kikyo smiled up at him, and carried the conversation. "Thank you." She said as they pulled up to the school. She opened the door and raced through the front gates and up the steps towards her class.

"Kikyo," Kaori said as Kikyo walked towards her. "Who dropped you off today?"

"I'll bet it was Sesshomaru." Leiko grinned.

"You bet wrong." Kikyo said.

"Ignore her," Kaori rolled her eyes. "How are you feeling, I know you just got out of the hospital."

"I'm fine."

"What happened?" Kaori pressed.

"I don't really feel like talking about it." Kikyo sat in the window and glanced out towards the students on the ground who were hurrying inside. The bell rung and she moved to her seat, taking out her work that she'd missed. She had spent the previous night catching up on the schoolwork she had missed while she was in the hospital.

After school she walked out of the building toward the street, the town car was parked outside the gate and the driver was leaning against the car checking his phone. When he saw her coming he nearly dropped his phone and stood up straight. "Miss Kikyo," He nodded at her.

She quickly opened the door before he had a chance and sat down. He quickly sat down in the driver's seat and glanced back at her. "Where to?"

"I guess just back to the house." Kikyo smiled.

He pulled onto the street and smiled at her through the mirror.


A/N: Sorry, I know this chapter was really short, it was just to kind of let you know what her life is like now that she's living with the Takahashi's.
