Chapter two:
Modern Era:
Kagome lay with her head buried on her fluffy pink pillow crying so hard that her body shook. She had been crying ever since she woke up in her bed early last night. Her eyes were puffy and her nose was red.
Pulling back she grabbed a tissue and blew her nose thinking miserably, 'So now… I’m back to being just a regular school girl.' Sitting up she grabbed another tissue and blew her nose before tossing the tissues in her trash can. Sighing she pulled her knees up to her chest and wrapped her arms around them sighing as she rocked back and forth trying to pull herself together.
She stared at the clock and thought dejected, 'I have to get up and start getting ready for school in another hour.' She laid her cheek against her knees and sighed muttering, “I wonder what everyone will think about my ‘miraculous recovery’?” before thinking slightly amused, 'At least grandpa finally told everyone that I had a young person’s disease.'
Sad brown eyes went to her desk and she blinked. On the middle of her desk stood a big bouquet of various flowers in pink, yellow, and white; as well as a medium sized package. Kagome stood up and slowly walked over asking herself, “Where did this come from?” A Shaky hand reached towards the tiny card in the flowers and she read it.
Please accept these flowers and know that I am thinking of you.
Get well soon. We all miss you.
With warm wishes and a hope that we will see each other soon,
Hojo.
P.S. Mom says the first gift should help you get over the chicken pox faster and the other two should help to cheer you up- I hope they work.
Blinking her hand went to the box and she opened the square box with white paper and a blue ribbon. Inside was a small glass container of an ancient oatmeal bath mixture. She stared at it thinking, 'Do they really expect me to bathe in that?' scrunching her face up in disgust.
Setting it aside she picked up the small jar of bath oil that consisted of lavender, rosemary, and eucalyptus. Next to it was a tiny pack of incense. She carefully opened the jar sniffing it and sighed happily, “Oh Hojo, you really are a sweet friend.” feeling just a little bit better as she lit one of the incense placing it in her holder.
She closed her eyes and slowly breathed in and out a few times relishing is the comfort of the incense. With a small smile on her lips she walked into the bathroom and drew herself a bath thinking, 'Maybe being home for good won’t be so bad after all. At least I’ll get to see the girls again.'
As the warm water flowed into the tub she stripped off her yellow pajamas and picked up the bottle she had carried in with her. Smiling she dropped a few precious drops into the warm water and capped the bottle setting it aside.
She turned to look at herself in the mirror and thought dejectedly, 'Yikes! I look like I’m half dead. Maybe this bath will make me look at least a little decent.'
She climbed into the tub and sat down, before leaning forward and turning the water off. Sighing in relief as the warm water and bath oil began relaxing her sore body, she closed her eyes and laid back thinking, 'At least I’ll have the luxury of modern plumbing again.' forcing herself to look on the brighter side of things.
She pulled a dry washcloth into the tub with her and dipped it into the water before ringing it out and placing it over her face intending to relax a while and let the bath oil do as it was intended to.
An hour later Kagome jumped awake at the sound of a loud banging on the door. Her mother warned, “Kagome! Hurry up dear. We need to talk.”
Blinking Kagome stared at the water thinking, 'I must have dozed off.' She said, “Thanks mama, I’m just about done.” as she carefully stood to her feet.
Sora said, “Okay dear. Breakfast is already on the table.” and turned walking back down the stairs.
Kagome climbed out of the tub wrapping a towel around her lithe body and let the water out. As the water drained she carefully dried off and dressed in her fresh pink panties and her regular school uniform.
She brushed her hair and sighed as she looked at her reflection. She stared at the image of her face she said, “Well it’s not my best look, but at least I don’t look like a zombie anymore.” as she set the brush down.
She nodded and walked down stairs into the kitchen. She sat at the table and smiled saying, “Thanks mama.” and ate her Belgian waffles and sausage thinking happily, 'Wow mama even made my favorite breakfast.'
Sora sat across from her daughter saying, “You’re welcome dear.” waiting patiently for her daughter to finish eating before she dropped her bombshell announcement.
Kagome finished her breakfast and asked, “Hey where are Souta and gramps?” staring at her mother as she finally realized they were the only ones there.
Sora smiled saying, “Your grandfather decided to take the day off and visit his friend. Souta already left, so that he can walk his girlfriend to school.”
Kagome blinked muttering, “Wow Souta has a girlfriend?” shocked and wondered, 'What all have I been missing?'
Sora replied, “Hai. They have been dating about a year now.” Adding, “You remember that nice girl Hitomi who he had that big crush on, right?”
Kagome thought a minute and said, “Wait, you mean those two are still together?” shocked.
Sora acknowledged, “Hai, and I’ve never seen your little brother happier.” as she smiled fondly remembering the happiness on her son’s face.
Kagome thought, 'Oh wow… Even Souta has someone.' and lowered her eyes to the table feeling sad again.
Sora said, “Cheer up dear. You will find someone even better then Inuyasha I’m sure.” as she placed a comforting hand on her daughter’s drooped shoulder.
Kagome sighed, “Thanks mama.” intending to stand up and leave for school. Sora’s hand kept her seated and she said, “Mama I’m gonna be late-“
Sora shook her head correcting, “Actually, you won’t.” At Kagome’s perplexed look Sora explained, “Remember I said we needed to talk?”
Kagome nodded asking, “What about school?” staring at her mother with utter confusion in her warm brown eyes.
Sora smiled informing her, “Well dear, with all of your absences due to ‘illnesses’ and stuff… I’ve decided that it would be best to home school you, at least for a year or two.”
Kagome’s eyes widened and she asked softly, “What?” staring at her mother.
Staring into her daughter’s eyes, Sora said, “Well, don’t you think it would seem funny if you suddenly were all better and started going back to school regularly with no more illnesses coming up?”
Kagome frowned thinking about it and said, “Wow mama I didn’t think about that.” As her fingers began drumming on the table while she considered all of the possibilities.
Sora said seriously, “Well granddad and I were talking it over and we feel this is the best option for now. If you still want to go back to classes with your friends after next year, then I won’t stop you. But for now, you’re being homeschooled to catch up to your classmates. Next year too, that way no one probes into your mysterious and seemingly miraculous recovery.”
Pulling out the note book she said, “I’ve already gotten the books ordered for you and they should be here next week sometime. Until then, you can help me and granddad out here around the shrine.”
Kagome nodded agreeing, “Okay mama.” Before asking, “So what should I do today then?”
Mama passed her the list and said, “Granddad already wrote instructions for what needs done. Here, you can start with cleaning out the storage shed.”
Kagome frowned thinking, 'Oh man, this is my first day home and they’ve already got me doing chores.' as she read over the list.
Soar smiled and hugged her daughter adding happily, “It’s really good to have you home dear.” and brushed a kiss over her daughter’s forehead adding, “I will be working here in the house. If you need anything just yell okay?”
Kagome nodded and went upstairs to change into her shorts and a tank top. Knowing it would get hot fast, she decided to tie her hair into a ponytail. She brushed her hair into a ponytail and tied a ribbon in it to hold it up and nodded. She took the list and walked outside over to the storage shed and thought, 'Might as well get started.'
Kagome looked at the boxes and grit her teeth before rolling her eyes and setting to work. She huffed bending her knees and stood up lifting the box. Carefully she walked over and climbed on the footstool placing the box on the shelf with a sharp exhale.
'That’s one down.' She thought pulling out the list to see where the next one went. Frowning she muttered, “Hm, this one goes on the right middle.” as she moved the footstool into place before placing the list back in her pocket and bending to lift the box.
She grunted as she lifted the box and carefully balanced herself on the foot bench before sliding the oblong box into place. 'Man gramps what have you got in these things?' she thought agitatedly.
As the possibilities began running through her mind she saw images of various organs from who knows what and shuddered muttering, “Never mind I’d rather not know,” and went to grab the next one.
Halfway through the day she was covered in dust and sweat was beaded on her forehead chest arms and legs. She decided it was time for a break and walked outside rubbing her sore lower back thinking, 'A nice warm soak tonight ought to just about do it.' as she realized how sore she would be by the end of the day.
Frowning she walked inside getting a tall glass of lemonade and walked back outside. While sipping her refreshing beverage she looked over to the closed up well house thinking, 'I wonder if the well still works?'
Deciding to find out she walked over towards the well house and stopped outside the door, taking a deep breath for courage. Just as she was about to open the doors she heard what sounded like a painful moan. Her eyes widened as she whispered, “What the-?” and opened the doors.
Moments before inside the well house:
A young teenage boy with sapphire blue eyes and long black hair pulled into a tight braid which easily reached below his waist, was wearing a white haori, and white hakamas of the finest silk; began to stir. He lay sprawled out on the dirt floor of the old well house moaning in pain.
He had silver armor fitted over his powerful chest, back, and one shoulder. He lifted a strong arm bringing a hand to hold his aching head and moaned as he slowly began to sit up wondering, 'Where am I?'
When the pounding in his head lessened enough to allow his eyes to focus, he slowly opened his eyes and began searching his surroundings. His indigo eyes quickly adjusted to the dim light of his surroundings. What seemed a lifetime as a mercenary had trained his body to react and adjust to all situations rather quickly.
He thought, 'A building of some sort... But how did I get here?' noting that the only tendrils of light were coming from various areas where the construction had been shoddily done or worn down over the obvious years of un-use.
Just as he was about to push to his feet the doors opened wide flooding the room with light. His eyes closed before blinking a few times and readjusting. The first thing that registered was the audible gasp that spilled from someone’s lips.
He turned his head and his eyes widened mirroring her shock as they both demanded, “What are you doing here!?” narrowing their eyes at each other.
A/N Okay so finally after a week of stupid sinuses here is chapter two XD Enjoy everyone! :D
