Chapter 16: Letter
Dear Tony-san,
I know that this must all come as a great surprise to you but what my sister said is true. You may resent me for hiding her exist from you for all these years, for all the what could have beens my choices denied you both. However, I do not regret actions. You weren't ready to be a father, Tony-san. You were so young and irresponsible back then although that doesn't matter now. Kagome is your daughter, our daughter and she needs your help. Recently, Kagome has lost a great deal and I am afraid that if she does not get away from the memories, the reminders she may hurt herself. I refuse to let that happen and that is where you come in Tony-san. Kagome doesn't know you, she doesn't know anything about you and has absolutely no memories associated with you or your homeland. For her you and America represent a fresh start, a new beginning that she so desperately needs. I know you likely have no room in your life for a teenage girl, but I am begging you Tony-san do not punish Kagome for my decisions. Right now she needs your help. She needs a father, her father more than ever before. So please save our daughter for I fear I am not able to.
When the time comes Tony-san that you are ready to speak to me I can be reached at this number XXX-XX-XX-XXXX-XX90.
Please save her.
Noriko Higurashi.
P.S. Kagome has all necessary documentations upon her person.
