Chapter One: Ten Years Latter

Ten years had passed since she had even looked at the well. Yet she was still awaken at night with the memories still fresh in her mind.

After she got back, Kagome found that not only had Rin revived her, but her unborn child as well. She was grateful for, though she didn't like how the child was conceived, she would never want to lose any child. After the birth of her first born daughter, Rina, she finished high school with top marks. Only her closes friends knew about Rina, and they kept the secret pretty dang well. After high school she got excepted into a good college and became a teacher. Moving from Japan, she found a good job in the U.S. Her daughter was close to her and starting third grade that day.

Kagome sighed and rolled out of bed so she could start this new day.

Kagome looked out side to see the green grass that grew in front of her modest two-storied house. It was a magnificent day, cloudless, and the sky shown with the vibrancy of the changing seasons. A perfect day to start school.

"Rina," her call sounded as it seeped up the stairs, "are you ready yet?" It was time for her to leave and she had to make sure her daughter would not miss the bus on her first day of school in this new country.

"Almost, Mama," was the hyperactive little girl's reply as she skipped down the stairs. She was lovely, with her father's long silver hair and her mother's blue-gray eyes. Somehow this little honyou ended up with ears like her father's and not like her uncles. How? Kagome didn't know or care, it helped disguise her easier. "I just needs to figure out how I am going to use my illusions this year." The girl grinned at her mother, showing off her sharp fangs.

"Okay, just make sure you are ready before the bus comes to pick you up," Kagome told her little girl, "and no outrageous hair colors." After hearing a, `yes Mama,' from the girl Kagome ran though her front door with one last, `love you,' thrown back at her daughter. `Now for my first day at work,' Kagome thought as she sat down in her car and started her engine.

She pulled up at the high school and parked in her designated spot. She was the new Japanese teacher at Grade High School in the Northwest. Walking into the main office she was greeted by the principle himself.

"Ah, Miss Higurashi," he said in his base voice, "how wonderful to see you again. Are you ready for the first day of school?" He asked in his slight southern accent. He was a big man and had chopped off black hair. His eyes, though, captured anybody's attention, they were huge and the blue in them seemed to make even the sky jealous. Kagome was sure he had a fan club due to the fact that his eyes were so beautiful.

"Good morning, Mr. Grantfield," Kagome said, bowing slightly, due to old habits, "yes I think I am ready for today." `At least I hope so,' she finished to herself. She still had a heavy accent but it was going away, if slowly.

"That is good to hear," he said with genuine glee showing though his eyes at the news. "Oh, and you have to meet the other new teacher." Mr. Grantfield said when she started to head towards her classroom. Kagome sighed softly, in relief, now knowing she would not be the only new one this year.

"I can not wait to meet this teacher," she said happily.

"That is also good to hear," he turned slightly when the door was opened. "Here they are now. Miss Higurashi, this is our new history teacher."
