Nikko took a deep breath as she knocked on the door of Kagome's home. She waited as the door opened, with a girl who was 5'4'', mid-back charcoal hair, and brown eyes, wearing a white top with green designs on the front, short green skirt and white calf socks.
Her eyes wide with surprise as she recognized her friend. "Kagome?" Nikko said. Kagome smiled an nodded as she hugged Nikko. "Nikko it is good to see you." Kagome said as she moved from the hug and took a look her friend. "You changed Nikko." She said as Nikko looked at her self.
She was 5' 6", thigh-length dark brown hair that was wrapped up in a big bun, and dark blue eyes, wearing a light green dress with a floral design and a jade necklace given to her from Sobo as a welcome home gift. "Yeah...so have you." Nikko said as they went inside meeting the rest of the family.
Seeing Kagome's Grampa, Sota her little brother who was in 4th grade, and her mother who cooked up lunch for them. They talked about the things that happen during the years apart that they didn't write about. Kagome was surprised as much as anyone that Nikko
finished school early but Nikko advise Kagome that she will help her if she has any problems, she didn't mind.
"Thanks Nikko...I do need some help with some makeup homework I'm stuck on, with your help, I'll finish it, after that I can give the tour around the shrine." Kagome said. Nikko nodded and smiled as they were eating. After lunch, Kagome drag Nikko out of the living
room, tells her mom that she be upstairs with Nikko for awhile.
When they to Kagome's room there was a small pile of papers and books on her desk. Nikko noticed something else on her desk, a small jar with three small purple shards in them in the right hand corner. She felt something as she got close to the jar, it felt strange like a
force is pulling towards her.
Whatever it is...its powerful. She ignored the jar as she helped Kagome with her work. An hour and a half, they finished every assignment needed to be done. "Wow...Nikko... you really are smart..I couldn't have finished this in a short time without you..now I have a chance
to finish school with your help." Kagome said.
Nikko nodded as something occurred to her. "Hey...Kagome?" She said. "Yeah?" Kagome said. "It may not be any of my business but why do you have that much work during the summer, I don't think they give out school work in the summer?" Nikko asked. Kagome froze
for a moment then looked back at Nikko.
"Well...I've been sick so often that this is the only way to catch up and stay in school." She said. Nikko noticed that Kagome is hiding something but she'll let it slide, she nodded in understanding. Nikko looked back at the desk and remembered the jar with shards in it, she
wanted to know what it is since Nikko was a rock hound but couldn't identify the shards in the jar.
"Hey Kagome?...What kind of rock shards are these? I've never seen anything like them." Nikko said pointing at the jar. For a moment Kagome looked pale and a bit nervous. "Uh well... Those are part of a special stone I'm collecting but don't touch it, its fragile." She said.
Nikko nodded as she moved away from the jar feeling less tension from it. Kagome clapped her hands getting Nikko's attention. "Come on...lets take that tour I promised you." Kagome said as they left her room, giving Nikko the tour of her home.
