Nikko was nervous as she walked up the stairs to the shrine. It has been eight years since she saw Kagome. She and Kagome were inseparable when they were kids, unfortunately Nikko had to move, her father got a new job in America and Nikko had to go with. She told Kagome that she will write to her often. They stayed connected that way since then. A week ago, Nikko sent a letter out to her saying that she was coming back to Japan to with her Sobo (Grandmother), also that she would come see her on Friday. A few days after sending the letter, Kagome wrote saying she can't wait to see me and her family will be as well.
(Flashback)…
Nikko smiled when she packed her things getting ready for Japan. Hours later the plane landed into Japan, the sun was rising over the clouds as she met Sobo who opened the airplane station exit doors toward the outside world...Japan. When she set foot on Japanese soil, she has sensed something within her calling out as if seeking for something, beside sensing the peace and tranquility she felt, it was like a pulse...beating in her heart and soul. A hour later, she was at home with Sobo who was joyous to have her home. Nikko smiled as she put her stuff in her room. "Happy to be back in Japan at last." She thought as she unpacked. Few hours later, she finished unpacking and went downstairs. Sobo and her talked for hours, getting to catch up about what happened over the years. Sobo was impressed by Nikko finishing school a few years back, worked a job and decide to move back here. " I knew you had the brains for finishing early." Sobo said as she hugged Nikko. Nikko smiled laughed as they departed, she told Sobo that she was going out to see Kagome and won't be back for awhile. Sobo nodded as Nikko left to visit Kagome.
