InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Sounds of Song ❯ Leaving Home ( Chapter 1 )

Winterscape: Greetings. This is my new fan fiction. Do not worry I will still continue Soul Search I just had this idea and it would not cease until I at least wrote the first chapter. All I that I will tell you at this time is that it is a Kagome Sesshomaru pairing and that it will feature many songs. Enjoy chapter one.

 

Nashville Tennessee: Population 545524.

 

Mountainside California: Population 36721.

 

The vast population difference between these two cities, approximately 508803 people, would be a difference if one decided to move.

 

But what if smaller was better? What if you just wanted to teach or write or sing?

 

Kagome Higurashi was a high school senior, well would have been, at Nashville High. She had just turned eighteen and needed to just finish high school until she thought she could get out of Nashville.

 

She was wrong.

 

All her life all Kagome had ever wanted to do was sing. She had an amazing voice, and that wasn't all that was amazing about her.

 

She was beautiful with a long raven black silky hair and paralyzing ice blue eyes. She was thin, one hundred and sixteen pounds thin, and tall, five eight to be exact. But neither her beauty nor her voice was her defining amazement.

 

Kagome was a miko. She was pure, purer than pure actually. Her aura was bright pink, a very enlightened but dangerous color of calm and purity.

 

Kagome's mother had died when she was young; she was the one who had given her daughter the miko abilities. Her father had remarried and her little brother loved her new step mom but she knew her father hated looking at her because she reminded him of her father.

 

That's why she needed out of Nashville. That's why she needed to go somewhere where she wasn't hurting what was left of her family.

 

That's when the news came.

 

“Hello you must be Miss. Higurashi. I'm Mr. Brockett” A man in a black business suit announced as she entered the small but chic café.

 

“Yes I am it's a pleasure to meet you.” Kagome told him with the Tennessee accent getting out, shaking his hand.

 

The man looked at her funny.

 

“Oh, my accent doesn't come out when I sing. Sorry.” Kagome told him, noticing him lighten up immediately.

 

“Well Kagome we have much to discuss. I know that grade twelve is a big year and I am sure you would like to stay here but if you are willing we have a job opportunity. The Tashio Firm of Mountainside California would like to have you on their pay roll. Not only do they love your voice, which is a bonus because they throw many parties for clients and workers, but they think you would make a great lawyer or even board member.” Mr. Brockett told her.

 

Kagome was in shock.

 

“Wow that's…that's amazing.” Kagome told him.

 

“Yes, but if you would not be against moving than we can arrange to fly out tonight. You don't need to pack anything like cloths because Mrs. Tashio is very exited about you being there. They have two boys but she has always wanted a daughter so you will most likely the spoilt daughter she never had.” Mr. Brockett laughed.

 

“I just have a few questions. Where would I stay? I wouldn't want to be a burden on them to stay with them. And how am I going to get my truck there if we're flying?” Kagome questioned.

 

“Well yes you would be staying there and do not worry the Tashio's are very nice and you would be no burden at all to them. Just be prepared to sing for them from time to time. Also, the Tashio firm has many connections and when one of the automotive dealers heard your voice they said that they will give you a new vehicle if you would sing for them on one of their commercials. You wouldn't be on there but your voice would be.” Mr. Brockett explained.

 

“Alright, well, I have nothing else so I suppose that it would be best to start making arrangements to leave.” Kagome told him.

 

“Excellent Mr. Tashio will be very pleased. But I do have one question for you. How do you manage to sing without an accent but have one when you are speaking?” Mr. Brockett asked her.

 

“I don't know but I glad for it.” Kagome replied with a smile.

 

“In that case I think that we should go to your house and let you say goodbye and gather the few essentials you will need.” Mr. Beckett told her.

 

“Alright, but…I don't think my truck will be quite what you're used to.” Kagome laughed.

 

The two got into Kagome's slightly aged truck and started off to her house. They chatted casually as they went.

 

She pulled into the driveway of a two story house that was well kept and looked nice.

 

“Well, this is it. If you want to come inside for a few minutes I'll get my things together.” Kagome told him, getting out.

 

Mr. Beckett followed Kagome into her house where she was greeted by her little brother Souta.

 

“Hey sis, who's that?” Souta asked.

 

“Souta come here for a sec.” Kagome told her brother.

 

“What's going on?” Souta asked her.

 

“Souta, remember when I told you that I was going to go sing after high school.” She paused and Souta nodded. “Well, it seems someone wants me right now.” Kagome told her brother.

 

“Oh.” Souta replied with obvious unapproved.

 

“Come on Souta, you know that I have to go. You'll be able to call me whenever alright?” Kagome told him, holding out her hand in a fist.

 

“Alright, but don't come crying to me when you're all alone.” Souta replied jokingly as her and brother touched fist as a brother and sister gesture.

 

Kagome hugged her brother and then opened the door to the basement.

 

“I'll only be a few minutes.” Kagome announced, going down and flicking on her light.

 

Her room was nothing more than a bed, a few shelves and a dresser in an unfinished basement but she liked it.

 

She walked over to her keyboard that was standing.

 

She ran her fingers across the worn keys and smiled.

 

She grabbed a small backpack and put little things in it.

 

She put her few necklaces that she owned in there, her mother's picture, her writing books and her teddy bear. She had had the black and white teddy bear since she was born; her mother had given it to her. She threw a few other things in the backpack, her passport, wallet, mp3 player, some of her favourite CDS and other various knick knacks.

 

She looked around her room one last time and then climbed the stairs to find Souta standing by her door with a wrapped present.

 

“Souta, what's that?” Kagome asked Souta.

 

“It was a gift. I just saved up all my money and bought it for you.” Souta told her as he handed it to her.

 

Kagome opened the gift to find a laptop and on the lap top was a note that read:

 

Dear Kagome,

 

As you're little brother I'm going to miss you a lot when you go away next summer but at least I have a year to stay with you. I saved up my allowance and did odd jobs for people to buy you this. The man at the computer store gave me a good deal when he found out it was for you. On there are all the software programs you need to record songs. You just have to sing loud enough for the speakers to catch it. You can get an attachable microphone if you want. Juts make sure you send me CD's of your singing.

 

Love always,

 

Souta.

 

Kagome's almost cried as she looked at her brother and hugged him.

 

“Thank you Souta. I promise you, I will always stay in contact with you and I'll always be here. If there's a problem you'll always be able to call me. And you know I'll be back here in twenty four hours if you need me.” Kagome told her little brother.

 

“I know sis, now go knock'em dead. I'll tell Dad the news when he gets home.” Souta replied.

 

Kagome smiled and hugged her brother tightly before she turned to Mr. Brockett and followed him out to her truck.

 

“The plane will be there when we get there.” He told her as he got in.

 

“Good.” Kagome told him.

 

They drove the airport and towards Kagome's new future.

 

Winterscape: Well doesn't Kagome just have it made right now? Watch for the update coming soon and please review.
