Chapter 2: Broken Heart.

"Well?" Kagome asked her friend. "Why did you have a gigai for me so quickly?"

Kisuke sighed.

"I had a feeling that you'd come to the World of the Living eventually."

Kagome growled at Kisuke, noticing that he jumped when she did so.

"Did you know that I'd get blamed for some stupid shit in the Soul Society?"

That seemed to catch Kisuke's attention.

"No, I didn't know." He confessed. "What did the Soul Society blame you for doing, anyway?"

The miko/shinigami sighed heavily, watching her zanpakuto quietly snoring on the table.

"I was minding my own business when Renji ran towards me with his Zabimaru drawn." Kagome started to explain her story.

"I didn't know why he was coming after me, but I reacted on impulse and drawn Kurimuzon and defended myself against him. As Renji and I were fighting, he kept asking me "Why did you do Kagome?" repeatedly until I got to the point where I was so annoyed with it."

Kagome took a deep breath.

"I screamed at him, telling him that I didn't do anything." The 18 year old paused for a moment, wasn't much for dramatic shit over the past 500 years. She did a lot of growing up over those years.

"Turns out, the seal that you put on Aizen is gone. Someone took it."

Kisuke's eyes widened.

"Aizen's free?"

Kagome shook her head no.

"No. The seal that Aizen is in, is gone." Kagome explained. "The seal was stolen with Aizen still in it."

Then the girl stood to her feet, her zanpakuto popped off the table and landed on Kagome's left shoulder with its tail lightly curlled around Kagome's neck.

When on her feet, Kagome walked over to the entrance/exit to Kisuke's shop.

"Wait! Kagome." Kisuke called out to the miko/shinigami girl who stopped and turned her head at him and "hmm?"ed. "Do you plan on clearing your name?"

She shook her head.

"As far as I'm concerned Kisuke. The Soul Society can go fuck itself for all I care. I did nothing but work my ass off there." Kagome chuckled darkly. "And in return for all of my efforts, I get blamed for stealing something that contains the Soul Society's greatest enemy."

Kisuke stared into Kagome's normally warm chocolate brown eyes and only found saddness, anger, betrayal, and loneliness.

"So, no. I don't plan on clearing my fucking name at the Soul Society." Kagome declared darkly before leaving.

"I'm sorry, Kagome." Kisuke whispered to the girl after she left. "I'm so sorry for the pain you've gone through."

Outside of Karakura Town's high school...

"Well," Sango stretched. "Should we get going to Kisuke's Shop?"

Everyone nodded and began to walk over to Kisuke's Shop.

After a few moments of silence, Inuyasha spoke up.

"I know who's aura we felt the other day belongs to."

"Who?" Rukia asked the hanyou-appeared-human.

Sango glared at Inuyasha.

"It's Kagome. Isn't it Inuyasha?"

Miroku sweatdropped, knowing that he, Sango, and Inuyasha were as good as dead if it were Kagome's aura they had felt earlier.

Inuyasha swallowed and nodded.

Sango groaned miserably, smacking her forehead with the palm of her left hand.

"We are so fucking screwed."

They all continued to walk to Kisuke's, not noticing that Kagome was just across the street, walking over to the high school.

Karakura Town's high school...

Kagome entered the high school's main office and walked up to the counter, silently waiting for someone to talk to.

Finally, a red-headed woman with emerald green eyes, dressed in a pale pink button-up shirt, a black pencil skirt, and black flats, walked up to Kagome and smiled.

"Hello." She greeted. "May I help you with something?"

"Yes. I was wondering if I can enroll in this school. I left my other school a few years ago to do something more important."

It was kind of true.

Kagome had left her school in Tokyo because she was dealing with the jewel shard stuff in the feudal era and she couldn't get back to her era because the well had closed on her.

"Hmm." The red-head responded turning to her computer and asked, "What's your name?"

"Kagome Nakamura." Kagome said, lying about her last name.

The woman typed in Kagome's name and looked at the screen in confusion.

"All I can find is Kagome Higurashi. But no Kagome Nakamura." She confessed, looking at Kagome.

"Are you sure?" Kagome looked at the computer with her eyes glowing hot pink for a moment then they were back to their normal chocolate brown color in an instant.

The woman at her computer looked at the computer monitor with slightly wide eyes.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I must've missed it. Here you are." She turned the computer monitor so that it was facing Kagome.

It showed a picture of Kagome from her high school in Tokyo, her name, phone number, contact information, etc.

"Thank you." Kagome said to the school's secretary with one of her fake smiles.

The secretary nodded and asked,

"What size do you wear Ms. Nakamura?"

xx~xxxxxx~xx

"Okay. Signing up at the high school was simple enough. Now all I gotta get is a job and a place to live." Kagome told herself, carrying a couple of high school uniforms in a bag and walking down the street.

"Maybe I should to apologize to Kisuke." Kagome mumbled to herself. "I didn't mean to take my anger out on him after all."

With that thought in mind, Kagome made her way back over to Kisuke's Shop, not knowing who is there with Kisuke.
