InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Broken Heart, Heal My Soul ❯ The News ( Chapter 1 )

Chapter One -- The News.

Before I begin I do not own Inuyasha & Co. This is also my first fan fic EVER. So please be gentle and review. I don't mind criticism just please no flames. Thanks a bunch. Kandie

It was a cool, crisp, Saturday afternoon in the city of Cloverdale, TN( not sure if it exists but it does for this fic), the Deer Run addition was busy with the hustle and bustle of people trying to get their lawns mowed and looking nice one last time before the colder weather of late autumn hit. One house however, was void of any noise except the pacing of feet by the street side mail box. " It just has to come today, or I'll die," said a worried ebony haired woman. " Hey Higurashi are you still waiting for your test results?" The girl sighed inwardly at the young man, but plastered a smile on her face, " Yes Hojo, I am still waiting, but I'm positive that it will come today. I just know it." She turned to walk up her drive way to sit on her front steps, but before she even got two steps away Hojo started to speak yet again. The young woman sighed and turned toward Hojo, "Yes Hojo?" Yes, um Higurashi I was just wandering if maybe I could take you out to dinner when you get your test results? I have no doubts that you will pass." asked the nervous young man. The young woman smiled at Hojo and then stated, "I'll go with you on one condition.." " What is it?" inquired Hojo. " That you call me by my first name." the young woman stated. " Ok Kagome I will. Is that better?" "Yes it is much better" replied the woman now known as Kagome. " Great! Well I'll check back after the mail comes," Hojo stated as he bounced away happily. Kagome continued her previously interrupted journey to the front steps of her light yellow, two bedroom home. 'I wonder what kind of drugs he takes, cause I want some' Kagome thought and snorted to her self.

Kagome continued to wait on the top of her front steps for another hour and a half, before she saw the familiar white and blue postal truck coming down her street. She immediately became nervous, and started to walk down to the mail box. When she reached the mail box she began to pace while waiting on the mailman. It seemed like she had been waiting for hours (only like ten minutes), when the mailman finally came to a stop at her house. " Good afternoon Kagome," the mailman said in a happy tone. " Hello Myoga, do you have mail for me today?" Kagome asked in a hope filled voice. The short, pudgy, and balding mailman shifted his blue letter bag and started to shuffle through the many letters and packages until his hands finally came to a halt and he pulled out a long manila envelope, along with several pieces of junk mail. " Ah ha I think this is what you've been waiting for… am I correct?" Myoga said in a "lookie-what- I - have" voice. Kagome nearly ripped the envelope out of his fat little hands and screamed " Yes! I knew it would come" but as soon as her happiness came it left. She looked down nervously at the single most important paper she had ever possessed , she shoved it back into Myoga's hands and asked in a small, scared voice "Will you please open it? I don't think I cou--" before she could finish her sentence Myoga said "Of course I will." With that said he slowly opened the mail up and took out the contents, he slowly the letter and looked to Kagome. " Congratulations, Kagome. You passed! Does that mean I get to call you nurse Higurashi now?" Myoga asked in a sing song voice. Kagome just registered the information given to her she dropped the rest of her mail and started to jump up and down, " I passed, I passed I'm so damn happy… I passed I'm a nurse. Nurse Higurashi, that has a nice ring to it," Kagome giggled as she hugged Myoga the mailman. "Bye Myoga." Kagome called as she headed back up the cement driveway to her house. She entered her house and sighed happily as she went to her bedroom and flopped onto her bed for a good nights sleep. 'Nurse Higurashi, I like the sound of that' was the beautiful young woman's last waking thought.
