Kid rolled his eyes as Soul and Black*Star sat on the couch of Soul and Maka's apartment, looking through Kid's cell to see if there was any other pictures of Kagome in said communication device.
The two teens found three more pictures of Kid's miko cousin. The first one was in a kitchen and Kagome lunging toward whoever was taking the picture of her with Kid's phone and she was dressed in a semi-loose pale green tank top and mid-thigh length pajama bottoms that were brown with pale green hearts on them and she had what looked like bed-head.
The next picture made both boys blush. Kagome was in a built-in pool with a baby blue two piece bikini and by the looks of it, the bikini top looked slightly too small for Kagome's breasts.
Kid smirked when he saw his two friends blush at one of the other pictures he had of his cousin in his phone, while Maka just rolled her eyes.
The third picture was in kitchen just like the first picture was and it was of Kagome with her mother, grandfather, little brother, and long silvery white haired boy with dog-like ears on his head, golden eyes, fangs, and claws. He hand his arms crossed over his crimson colored kimono covered chest with a scowl firmly planted on the boy's face.
"Who's that?" Maka wondered, looking into the picture curiously. Staring at the dog-earred boy.
Kid shrugged. "Aunt Kaori said that his name is Inuyasha. Kagome had fallen in love with him about two years ago."
"You mean she doesn't love this Inuyasha guy anymore?" Maka asked the reaper boy.
"No. He's a two-timing jerk as Kagome had told me over the phone."
"She calls you?" Soul asked in awe. Kid nodded. "Whenever she can which is about twice a month."
Maka rolled her eyes at her weapon partner's look. "Forget it Soul. There's no way Kid's cousin is gonna go for a baka like you."
"I wouldn't be so sure about that. Aunt Kaori said that Kagome had told her that Kagome's a sucker for a guy with white-ish hair." Kid looked at Soul's hair and said boy blushed which made Kid smirk. "That's right Soul. Out of all of the guys in the academy, you're the only one that Kagome would most likely go for."
Black*Star pouted, crossing his arms across his chest as he leaned further into the couch, making Tsubaki sweatdrop.

Tokyo, Japan: Higurashi Shrine/Residence...
Kaori Higurashi (a/n: Kagome's mother.) was in the kitchen just finishing up cleaning and was about to leave the house to go mail the cell phone she got for Kagome when Kaori had started a cell phone plan for her family yesterday, when she suddenly felt a familar youki approaching the house. The older Higurashi woman smiled sadly, knowing her daughter was right, that Inuyasha would most likely come to the house after waiting for 500 years to arrive to the modern Japan to see Kagome again. So the woman quickly finished what she was doing before a knock on the door was heard, but before she could make it to the door she heard her son, Souta, shout "INUYASHA!"
Then said hanyou entered the house and went into the kitchen with a young brunette woman, a black-haired man with a short pony-tail at the nape of his neck, a man with long silver hair and another young brunette beside him.
Kaori smiled at Inuyasha sweetly. "Why, hello Inuyasha. What do I owe the honor of seeing my favorite hanyou?"
Inuyasha blushed before answering. "We came here to see Kagome."
Kaori sighed, a sound that Inuyasha and the group he brought with him didn't like to hear.
"What's wrong?" The long silver haired man who had the same eye color as Inuyasha. "I'm afraid you all are a little too late. Kagome isn't here."
"She at school?" Inuyasha wondered to the woman who treated him like family. Kaori shook her head.
"No. I'm afraid Kagome moved from here to attend another school."
"Where?" The brunette standing beside the black-haired man with the small pony tail at the nape of his neck.
"I'm sorry. I promised Kagome that I wouldn't tell you guys if you were to come to the house." Kaori frowned lightly, shaking her head at Inuyasha's somewhat angery look.
"Did she move because of me?"
Kaori chuckled, which surprised the group of men and women in front of her. "Inuyasha. Did you forget that it's rude not to introduce you're friends?"
Inuyasha swallowed and mumbled something that sounded a lot like, "Sorry."
"I'm Sango." The one of the brunettes spoke first. "Miroku." The man said with the pony-tail. "My name is Rin and this is Sesshomaru." The other brunette introduce herself and the man with long silver hair.
"It's nice to meet you all. I'm Kaori Higurashi, if you've guessed, I'm Kagome's mother and the boy that answered the door is my son and Kagome's brother, Souta."
"Mrs. Hi-" Sesshomaru started but was interrupted by Kagome's mother. "Please. Call me Kaori." Kaori corrected the inu youkai, that Kagome's mother guessed was Inuyasha's older half-brother.
"Kaori." Sesshomaru began again. "Could you at least tell us when Kagome left?"
"Kagome left about three days ago, she should be arriving at her new school tomorrow afternoon."
Sango and Inuyasha cursed at the same time.
"I'm sorry Everyone, but Kagome seemed so broken-hearted when she came home. I suspected it had something to do with the miko woman." Kaori tapped her chin gently, trying to think of the woman's name. "Kikyou was her name if I remember correctly." Kagome's mother said in an almost sad voice that had Inuyasha's friends and his half-brother turn to him with a scowl and a glare that clearly said, "You're a fool for letting Kagome go."
Sango snorted. "Unfortunately," She stared at her baka hanyou friend when she spoke to Kagome's mother. "Kikyou is still alive. She's Inuyasha's mate." The former tayija said the words like they were poison in her mouth.
Inuyasha turned to Kaori with a sad look on his face and was about to speak but the older Higurashi woman beat him to it. "I won't judge your choice, Inuyasha. You chose the woman you love. Although, I honestly thought that you loved Kagome." She looked at him with gentle eyes that made Inuyasha cringe, feeling like Kagome's mother's words had cut through him more that his friends' ever had throughout the last 500 years. The woman before him, his friends, and his half-brother, had never raised her voice to Inuyasha or to anyone for that matter. She had treated Inuyasha as if he were a completely normal person and not a hanyou whom everyone Inuyasha had known, before meeting Kagome, Kaede, Miroku, Sango, Shippo, and Kirara, hated him for his mixed blood.
That was when the house phone rang and Kaori excused herself to go answer it.
Inuyasha's face paled when his acute youkai hearing managed to pick up on the familar voice on the other end of the line.
Kagome.

Nevada: Airport...
Kagome and Naomi had spoken to each other about random things, from shopping, choice of clothes, favorite vechicles, favorite music, and, finally, to boys.
The young miko and her weapon partner/friend were talking about their final random topic. Kagome had explained to Naomi about her former problem with Inuyasha and Kikyou, and when the girl was finished, Naomi was angery at this Inuyasha guy and this Kikyou girl but didn't show it. So intead, Naomi had a little mental scene of her beating the fuck out of Inuyasha and Kikyou and laughed while she was doing it.
Finally. The plane landed and everyone got off said plane, grabbed their luggage, and Kagome and Naomi were off to the bus to take them to Death City that was waiting for the two girls.
