Forever Loved: Broken Family

Chapter Five

Kagome sighed as she sat down on her bed, it had been a almost two years since her family's death, since then she had traveled. She had been to Italy, France, England, and her favorite Spain.

Spain had been the first place she had moved too, and she had moved back again about six weeks ago. She liked it here, and had decided to keep up permanent residents here...until she was noticed she didn't age.

Yes, Kagome didn't age, well she did until she hit eighteen. She noticed something strange around a year ago.. It was then when she met Midoriko through her dreams. She told her what was happening.

The jewel was protecting itself but linking itself to her soul. It scared her when she first learned this. Also, because of the jewel just starting to link itself to her, her powers would not be normal. Kagome had noticed the difference. She could still feel the difference between normal humans and other creatures...but her powers were what were not normal.

Her powers didn't work right. They either only worked when she was injured and healed her, or in random spurts. Midoriko said they would settle once she turned eighteen, but until then her powers would act up.

Not something Kagome liked. It made her feel rather vulnerable.

She would be eighteen in eight months...then she would be immortal, but she could still die from normal human things, but besides that she would spend her life protecting the Shikon No Tama...not something she really was looking for.

Moving to her desk she sat down with a sigh, the day was long for her. She worked at two different places, one helping at the local school with English, and the other at a store.

It was something she enjoyed, she had brief thoughts when she was in the school, to go back and finish HighSchool herself, but she could never bring herself to do it.

Kagome was fine where she was with her life, and it wasn't like she wouldn't have time to go back to school if she wanted to later in life.

She had plenty of time for it.

There were many things she was going to do with her life, and she now had time to do it all. She didn't have much family left, and she would watch over them till they all died, besides that she had nothing planned for her life.

Kagome didn't think she would date anyone...or fall in love. It would be too hurtful for her when they died. That and she had been betrayed enough as it was and didn't know if she could take having her heart broken again. It already had survived betrayal more than once, and she didn't want to feel it again.

"Why is life so hard." Kagome muttered, she loved her life now, but it didn't mean it was hard at times. She made enough money, she still had all the money from her family's death, and that was quite a bit, and add that to the money she had when she worked.

Kagome didn't buy very much so her money just added up. She paid for food, her housing, cell phone, which was a prepaid one, and some random things here and there. Besides that Kagome didn't use her money.

As she sat there straightening her desk up, her phone rang making the Miko jump in her seat. Blinking she got up and grabbed her phone from off the side table by her bed and flipped it open.

"Hello?"

"..er... is this Kagome?"

Switching to English Kagome smiled and gave a light laugh, "Uncle Charlie!"
