Chapter One: The Kid
Beep!
Beep!
Beep!
"Uggg…." Grumbled a half conscious girl as she tried to turn the alarm clock off for the third time that morning.
"Dammit!!! Just. Shut. Up!" shouted a severely pissed off Kagome. She suddenly sat up in the bed, grabbed the alarm clock and hurled it across the room. It landed harmlessly on the pillows she had placed there to prevent the further spending of money on more alarm clocks. Unfortunately, this only put her in a worse mood because she had wanted to smash it to pieces, and it was still going off!!!
She stomped over to it and shut it off with a violent jab at the off button. That's when she noticed the time that was flashing at her. "Shit!" 11: 42. She was so late!
Kagome Higarashi had just recently turned 21. Officially an adult and it really suited her! Okay…so she wasn't a morning person… she was working on it. Kagome lived alone in a decent sized house that contained 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, one living room, a kitchen, a patio, and a roomy den. The house also had a finished basement and a sun room. Her friends included Sango, Ayame, and Rin, who are, honest to God, the best friends anyone could ask for. They were all currently in their third year of college (juniors) and more than happy to be together at any given time. Today was a Saturday in August and with only a week to go before their junior year started they were all tidying up loose ends. Kagome was actually getting ready to go meet up with one of those loose ends now…
"Where's my hair brush!? Oh man! I am going to be so freaking late!" growled an extremely exasperated Kagome while trying to tie her shoe, button up her blouse, and locate the hair brush all at the same time. Suddenly she just stopped, took a deep breath, tied her shoe carefully, and then fixed her shirt. 'Just have to calm down... I don't want to go down the stairs, trip outside and get hit by a car now, do I?' she laughed to herself.
Kagome was wearing a dark blue tank top with a white button up cover up over it half way buttoned up, showing the layers, over a pair of off white cropped shorts. She finally located her hair brush sitting right in the open by the bathroom sink. She did a quick brush through, shoved her hair in to a high ponytail, then grabbed her keys and wallet and walked out the front door. Now that she was up she was in a much better mood and ready to take on whatever life brought her. Kagome stood beside her car debating whether to drive or just walk but finally decided walk it was just to pretty out! She looked down at her watch only to notice what time it was. Strike the walk! It's running time! Kagome was vice president of the track team, only loosing to her best friend Sango, so she didn't mind too much. It was an on going competition!
Kagome quickly skidded to a stop four blocks away turned and went another two blocks down jogging into the building. She waved to Keena as she passed the check-in desk, slightly out of breath but nothing bad. Keena would sign in for her so she would be on time. As Kagome walked into a noisy room a little red cannon ball tackled her leg, knocking her over and taking him with her.
"Kagome!" shouted a very hyper Shipo as he crawled up to her head and gave her a big hug. "I missed you why haven't you been here for so long!?"
"I was just here Thursday Shipo! But I missed you too."
Shipo sniffled as they pulled out of the hug and crossed his arms, "It still felt like too long.", he pouted.
"Awww! You are just too cute! I'm sorry, but I went out shopping yesterday and got back too late to come say hi." explained Kagome
Shipo immediately brightened up and gave her another hug "Its okay Kagome, I forgive you! So what're we gonna do today huh? Huh?" the impatient little boy eagerly questioned.
"I was thinking…"
"Yeah? What!"
"I was thinking… how about we go get the girls and then we can all go to the water park!"
"Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!! That's a great idea Kagome! Let me go change and I'll be right back!" Shipo scrambled to his feet then ran off to his closet.
It was only then that Kagome noticed she was still on the ground after she had been bulldozed over by Shipo. She got up and laughed at herself for not even noticing it. When she was standing and had dusted herself off a bit she looked around. 'oh, I love this place so much, so many good memories!' Kagome noticed the sign and her smile flickered for a second as she read it even though she already knew what it said by heart…it read 'St. Regis Orphanage'. Kagome frowned a bit, 'these kids have been through so much…I can relate…Snap Out Of It!' she chided herself 'getting all sad won't help anything! I just have to be a cheerful supporter for them!' her smile returned and she played a puzzle with a little girl as she waited for Shipo.
"Let's go Kagome!!!" shouted Shipo, startling Kagome as she noticed he was already at the door holding her stuff and tugging at the door handle.
Laughing, she got up, gave the little girl a hug, and followed Shipo out, ready to have a day of fun.
