Chapter 1: Part1: The Vision

RING!!! RING!!! RI...

"Moshi, Moshi. Higurashi Kagome speaking."

"Hi nee-san. I called to tell you I'll be at mom's for the summer and wanted to know if you wanted to go to a restaurant?"

"Oh. Yes. I would love that a lot. So how was your first year in collage in Canada?"

"It was great. I have the top grades in all of my classes and Rin was there too."

"Rin?? Our cousin Rin? That Rin?"

"Yes. We're both in the same classes and all that. So how's the farm?"

"It's busy but that's alright. Oh I got to go. See you tomorrow. Bye."

"Bye."

Hanging up the phone, Kagome turns around to finish making her dinner for herself before putting her livestock away. Tonight she made her favorite: Chicken Karage and Miso Soup and to drink Iced Cappuccino (That's actually my favorite food to eat ^-^)

It was now 8 pm and it was starting to get dark outside. Heaving a sigh Kagome went out and first put the cows in their barn. Luck for her, chickens instinctively go into their coop when the sun starts to set and she just had to close the door so no wild animal could get to them. She finally got to her horses, all 111 of them and when she was done there she went into the house.

'Finally,' she thought collapsing onto her bed like a 1-ton rock. `I better sleep now. Tomorrow will be a long day.'

After thinking this she was out like a candle...(...umm...o.O…I mean light)

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~(The next day: Afternoon)*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Dirty from weeding Kagome trudges off to take a nice warm, relaxing shower before she gets to leave for her mom's.

It was now 4:53 pm and Kagome still couldn't choose what to wear. The red and yellow Stripped tube top and a mini black skirt or a blue tight hip jeans and a jean jacket with the same tube top. After another 17 minutes she finally chose the jeans and a pair of runners as well as having her hair down. By now it was 5:22. "Aiya (sp?). I'm going to be late," screamed Kagome racing to her pick-up truck. Speeding down her driveway and the highway at 130 km/h till she reached the outskirts of the town her mom lived in and reverted to the speed limit. It was now 5:52 and Kagome was still 10 minutes away. Grabbing her cell phone, Kagome dialed her brothers cell number…

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*(At Higurashi Alenna's house)~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Ring Ring Ring…

"Hello Higurashi Souta speaking."

"Hay Souta, it's me. I'm ganna be a little late"

"Oh that's alright sis. How long till you're here?"

"Maybe 6 more minutes. So where are we going to go for dinner?"

"I was thinking about that new restaurant called `The Pantry'. And then we'll rent some movies. How's that sound?"

"Great. I'll see you soon."

"Bye."

Turning off his cell, Souta grabs his wallet and car keys.

`Boy. It's been a long time since I've seen my sis. I wonder if she's changed. Most likely she has. I wonder if I should tell her the good news now or when `she' gets here. Hmm. I think later is better' he thought.

Just then he heard a car drive up.

"Bye mom. Kagome's here."

"Oh. All right sweetie. Have a fun time with your sister and be good. Oh and when will you tell her that you're engaged to Kanna?"

"Not till Kanna gets here next week mom. So please don't tell her. Okay?"

"Don't worry. Not a peep from my mouth. I promise."

"Thanks mom."

"Bye sweetie."

With that Souta raced to and opened the door to a startled Kagome.

"Oh my gosh Souta. You've changed so much in the past year."

"You too sis."

Kagome stared at her younger brother. He was now a head taller then her. About 6'4". His un-kept black hair went just below his ears. His mud brown eyes were more radiant then it had ever been and he was WAY more muscular and tan. `He sure looks more handsome then he did before. Hmmm…I wonder! He must have found the girl of his dreams or something. I'll have to wait till he tells me before I say a thing though.' "Well…we should go now. Where's the restaurant?"

"Two blocks past the old shrine."

"Ok. We'll take my car. Now come."

Twenty minutes later they were in front of `The Pantry' and sitting down, looking at the menu.

`Hmm…the bacon cheddar burger sounds good. I'll have that,' Kagome thought when the waitress came up and asked what they would like to drink.

"I'll have a chocolate milkshake and my brother will have a Coca cola."

When the waitress left Souta asked, "So sis how has things been going? Have you found a boyfriend yet? Or have you been to busy working on that farm of yours?"

Blushing Kagome stammered out, "N-no. I don't have a boyfriend yet and things are going well on the farm. And what do you mean on that last question?"

Before Souta could explain, the waitress came with their drinks.

"Thank you."

"Yes thank you."

"Are you ready to order yet?"

"Yes. I'd like the bacon cheddar burger with only bacon, cheese, and meat on it and can you make sure the fries are crunchy? Please and thank you."

"Sure, and you sir?"

"I'd like the big bowl of sea food chowder, please and thank you."

They waited for their food in a comfortable silence and dug in when it arrived.

"So Souta how was your first year in collage? What's it like in Canada? It must have been good cause your soo…umm O.o more lively some how."

Sweat dropping Souta thinks, `Oh no she suspects.' "Oh well it was ok. I did quite well and Canada's wonderful. It has less cars then here and the foods delouses."

"Hmm…sounds fun. I'm happy for you. Come on lets pay the bill and go get the movies."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*(25 minutes later)~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

It was now 6:42 and they were at their mom's house popping in the video `Save The Last Dance'. Their mom, Alenna was in the kitchen drinking a cup of coffee. `It's so nice to have both my kids here with me,' she thought. `How I wish you were here my love. Oh Dave…why did you have to be driving that night?' She sighed, remembering that Christmas morning all those 18 years ago.

(Flashback)

It was Christmas morning and her husband still wasn't home from work yet and a 4-year-old Kagome and 2-year-old Souta were cranky because their mom wouldn't let them open their gifts till their dad got back. It was now 11:40 am and still there was no sign of Dave.

`I'm so going to hurt him when he gets back for making us worry,' Alenna steamed in her head.

"Ok sweet hearts you can open your presents now."

"YAY!"

"BAY!"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*(Some 32 minutes and 21 presents apiece later)~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Ding Dong…

"I'll get it," yelled the young Kagome. When she opened the door it wasn't her father like she thought it would be but a man and woman in cop outfits.

"Yes? What would you like?"

"Is your mom home sweetie?" cooed the lady, bending down to Kagome's height.

"Yes. Would you like me to go get her?"

"Yes please."

"MOM," she yelled, running to the living room.

"Yes?"

"A man and a woman want to see you mom."

"Thank you sweet heart. Can you look after your brother for me?"

"Yes."

With that Alenna walked to the front door wondering what someone would want on Christmas. The people she saw at the door sent a shiver down her spine and ice through her blood. `Why are cops here? No it can't be.'

Stuttering and with a quiver in her voice she asked, "How may I help you?"

"Can we talk to you? It's about your husband"

"Yes. Of course."

She led them to the living room, asking Kagome to take her brother up stairs and to stay there till she said they could come down, before sitting down and motioning for the officers to follow suit.

"What do you have to say about Dave?"

"I'm sorry, but your husband is dead."

Alenna gasped thinking, `Th-this has to be…be a joke, right?' but then it sunk in. No one was mean enough to joke about something like this. She finally broke down into tears. "No. Dave. He can't be dead." She began to rock back and force, sobs racking through her petite body. She felt a hand on her back trying to comfort her but nothing could except seeing her Dave coming through the front door, saying it was all a prank. When there were no more tears she crocked out in a strained voice, "How did it happen?"

"A drunk driver hit him. He died instantly."

"How am I to tell my kids? They're so young and won't understand. They'll ask after him till they're old enough to understand. My poor babies. My Dave. Why?" She broke down again, crying her eyes out. After about 10 minutes her eyes were dry but her body racked with sobs.

"We're very sorry ma'am about your lose and on such a special occasion too. We must leave though. Will you be alright?" the man asked.

"I-I th-think so," Alenna crocked out in a cracked voice.

From the top of the stairs Kagome and Souta heard everything. Kagome had tears on her pale rosy checks, squeezing her brother to her. Even though Souta didn't fully understand what was wrong he had a good guess and was also teary eyed.

(End flash back)

Alenna had tears streaming down her face but she didn't care. `I still can't believe I was able to survive. Maybe it was because I had to stay strong for my kids,' she wondered.

All of a sudden Alenna became dizzy and lightheaded. `Oh no. Not another vision,' she thought before going into a trance.

(Vision)

A young woman looking at a car clock that said 1:35 am. A lone car was driving down a road. Then it stopped in front of a lamppost. The young woman stepped out. She picked up something that looked heavy. Next came a scene of Kagome's farm. Kagome and a stranger were helping to teach some young kids how to horse back ride. Then Souta and a white haired young woman, she guessed was Kanna, walking down Kagome's driveway. Next came a scene of one of Kagome's barns fire, and some of the animals ran out of it. The stranger from before, a young man, running to the door and going in. In the next scene was of Kagome running into the forest with tears in her eyes. The next scene shocked poor Alenna so much she nearly fainted. The stranger and her daughter were tangled in one another's arms having sex and then he bite her.

(End flash back)

Finally it was done. Alenna was shaking so badly you would have thought she needed to puck. She looked at the clock at the other end of the kitchen. It was now 12:50 am. `If what I saw was right then the first will be in more then half an hour and tonight. I-I must make her leave now,' Alenna thought. `Something tells me that what I saw was more then important. And that last one. Was she forced?' The scene flashed once more in front of her eyes and she looked at her daughter's face. `No. I can see the joy and happiness that can only be there if you love a person. I can't skirt that from my daughter. She deserves love and happiness and anyways he has a great arse.' With her mind made up Alenna walked to the tv room. Kagome and Souta were watching `What A Girl Wants' and were laughing about something that happened.

`Oh Kagome I hope you forgive me later,' was the last thing she thought before…

"KAGOME. I WANT YOU TO LEAVE NOW."

"WHAT?? WHY?"

"Don't question me. I want you out now. Come back in two days or something."

"Mom you know I can't. I'm teaching kids to horseback ride for a whole month"

"I'm sorry but you need to go now. Trust me. It's for your best interest."

"Fine then. Souta call if you want to come over any time ok?"

"Ok"

With that Kagome got her stuff and left. Looking at the clock Alenna saw that it was a couple of seconds till 12:55 am. Heaving a relieved sigh she sat beside her son on the couch.

"Mom?"

"Yes"

"Why did you make her leave?"

"*sigh* I had another vision."

"About what?"

"I'm not positive but it had something to do with her finding something tonight."

"What is it?"

"Not sure but it looked like a young man."

Souta starred at his mom. `A young man. Will my sis finally find the man of her dreams? Is that why mom made Kagome leave so forcefully? I hope so. What exactly is it she saw? What's she not telling me?' Souta thought.

Looking to the door Alenna thought to herself, `Oh Kagome. I hope I did the right thing and you do find love.'

A/N wow that took me forever to type. I have been working on it for months now. well I hope you enjoyed.
