Kagome entered the household and made her way into the kitchen to see her mother and aunt chatting away. She cleared her throat gently to try and catch Kun-loon and Ayumi's attention.
"I hate to cut the reunion short, but I think it's time we got home and started unpacking." Kagome suggested, making the two Japanese women look at her.
"Oh, of course." Ayumi smiled, setting down her mug and grabbing her car keys. "Let's go, then." Kagome nodded before turning to Toshiaki, a small grin on her face.
"I'll see you tomorrow." She murmured, earning a nod. Kagome, Kun-loon and Ayumi exited the house and made their way to the car. Kagome stepped in, setting her bag on her lap as she put on her seatbelt. She hummed as Ayumi and Kun-loon entered the car. The car started and they headed off down the road. Kagome watched houses pass by before she saw the house she saw earlier, the curtains wide open this time. She hummed as they pulled up at the driveway of their new home. The trio exited the car and Ayumi opened the boot. Kagome slung her bag over her shoulder before grabbing her bags from the boot and heading towards the house. Kagome paused for a second before looking at the house her new friend stayed in. She smiled softly before going inside the house which Kun-loon had unlocked.
"Go ahead and choose a room upstairs." Kun-loon said. Kagome nodded before hauling her bags up the steps, scanning the household with a soft expression on her face. Kun-loon and Ayumi looked at each other. "Maybe she's warming up to the idea now. I hope..." Kun-loon sighed quietly before smiling. "I'll see you tomorrow, Ayumi."
"Yes, you will. Enjoy your new house." Ayumi bowed before walking out the door. Kagome looked down the hall and made her way down it, looking at each door with curiosity. She continued on until she spotted a door which she felt a pull towards. Kagome opened the door and saw a large room with a bed, a desk, dressing table and closet. She set her bags down next to the bed and took a peek out her window to see the backyard. Humming, Kagome sat on her bed and swung her legs back and forth for a bit. Her eyes stared at the floor for a bit until Kun-loon entered the room, carrying a plastic bag and a satchel.
"I like the room you chose. Here are your items for school tomorrow. In the bag is some stationary and three sets of your old uniform as your new school doesn't exactly have one and you'd probably be most comfortable in something from Japan." Kun-loon set the bag next to Kagome. "Also, if anyone is giving you some sort of hassle, you just tell me, all right?" Kagome gave a nod, still swinging her legs back and forth as she stared down at her white carpet. Kun-loon breathed heavily through her nose before exiting the room to leave Kagome to whatever she was going to do. The young Japanese female opened her bags and pulled out all her folded clothes, putting them in the closet and setting one uniform on her dressing table. She then pulled out items from her bags and put them on top of the dressing table. Nodding in satisfaction, Kagome heard the doorbell go. She made her way out of her room and stood at the top of the stairs unnoticed and rather hidden. Kun-loon opened the door only to see a man and a woman there.
"Hello, we noticed you moved in to the neighbourhood." The woman smiled welcomingly. "I'm Susan and this is my husband, Ben Frankenstein."
"Hello, I'm Kun-loon Higurashi. It's a pleasure to meet you." Kun-loon smiled. Kagome tilted her head before walking down the stairs. Frankenstein? Wasn't that the last name of the family that lived in the house she was wondering about? Kagome made her way over and smiled sweetly at the couple.
"Good afternoon, Mr and Mrs Frankenstein. I'm Kagome Higurashi, it's a pleasure." Kagome said, making them both look at her. The couple noticed her walking over to them.
"Oh my, what a beautiful daughter you have!" Susan scanned over the young Japanese girl.
"She is quite the looker, isn't she?" Kun-loon laughed, wrapping an arm around her daughter's shoulders. Kagome blushed slightly and her smile widened.
"We have a son about your age. His name is Victor but he couldn't come as he was busy doing something." Ben stated. Kagome blinked up at him before nodding. Fascinating. Maybe that's who she felt staring at her earlier on. "You will probably meet him tomorrow at school."
"All right." Kagome replied, still smiling. "I hope to become friends with him."
"That's very sweet of you." Susan murmured, a smile graced on her face. "I hope you're able to befriend him. His only friend is his dog, Sparky." She signed, making Kagome blink in bewilderment.
"His... dog is his only friend?" Kagome questioned, her chest tightening a bit.
"His only friend?" She thought, biting her lip. Shaking her head slightly, she smiled hopefully. "Maybe I can become his friend. Well, if he'll let me."
Kagome lay on her bed, staring up at the ceiling. She breathed softly, shutting her eyes for a second. Tomorrow school was going to start and Kagome was nervous. What kind of students did the school have? Was she going to fit in with the pupils? Kagome's eyes opened wide when she heard something. She got on her knees, her blanket falling from her person as she moved towards the window, looking out. She noticed Persephone pressing her nose with a nose through a gap in the fence. Kagome smiled softly.
"How cute." She murmured, watching Persephone yip gleefully. "I'm guessing Persephone and Sparky are close. What's his name again?" Kagome thought for a second. She snapped her fingers once she remembered. "Victor. I wonder what he's like?" She tilted her head before looking at the yard with curiosity. Shaking her head, Kagome lay back on her bed, pulling the duvet up to her chest. She flipped onto her side and curled up under the blanket. She shut her eyes and drifted off to sleep in her peaceful room with the light of the moon bathing the place dimly.
