Twilight's Priestess (Emmett Cullen)

Chapter 1 A Fresh Start

COVER WAS DONE BY ladyarchangel74 THANK YOU SO MUCH!

It was over, Kagome's adventure in the Feudal Era had finally come to an end. Naraku was defeated and the Shikon Jewel was wished out of existance. Now it was time for Kagome to move on with her life in her own time. She had thought to stay with Inuyasha and create a life for herself, but after a long while she came to realize that she and Inuyasha were not meant to be. Coming to that realization, she decided that it was time for her to return to her own time and lead a normal life. So with a heavy heart she said goodbye to her dear friends and adoptive son and passed through the well for the last time.

Upon arriving home she decided that staying at the Shrine was no longer an option. It held too many painful memories for her and if she was going to move on with her life she needed a fresh start somewhere new, somewhere far, somewhere not in Japan. Kagome needed to talk to her mother about it.

"Mom, I can't stay here anymore."

Kagome's mother sighed, "I know dear, I think it would help you if maybe you went and stayed with relatives for a while."

"I was thinking the same thing, but I was actually thinking that maybe we could talk to Dad's half brother, Charlie, in America and see if he can take me in."

Kagome's mother frowned, "That's a long way away, Kagome, are you sure you want to go to America?"

"Yes, I think moving away would be the best thing for me right now, that is of course if Uncle Charlie will take me in."

"I'm sure that can be arranged, Dear. Let me call him right now."

It turned out that Charlie had no problem with the idea of Kagome moving in with him. His daughter Bella was living with him as well and they both thought that it was a good idea. So Kagome and her mother made all the arrangments necessary for Kagome to get her citizenship since she had dual citizenship through her father. She got her passport and her savings, packed her belongings and left for Forks, Washington.

It took a total of 11 hours for Kagome to get to Port Angeles, including the 37 minute flight from Seattle. When Kagome arrived she was completely exhausted, she got off the plane and trudged through the small airport looking for her Uncle Charlie. She looked at the faces in the crowd when she noticed a dark haired man with a mustache hold up a sign with her name on it, every now and then he would glance down at a picture.

She smiles and walks up to him, "Uncle Charlie?" Kagome asks.

"Kagome?" Charlie asks as he looks down at the picture one more time.

Kagome smiles and nods to the older man standing in front of her. She sets her luggage down and gives him a hug, which he awkwardly returns. He pulls away from her and examines her a bit closer.

"You have your dad's eyes."

Kagome smile brightens, "Really?"

"Sure do."

"Thanks."

Charlie nods in response, he then bends down and picks up Kagome's luggage while she carries her backpack. They make their way through the small airport  towards the parking lot where they reach a police cruiser, Charlie pulls out his keys and opens the trunk, putting Kagome's things in the trunk. She gives him a questioning look."

"I'm the Chief of Police in Forks." Charlie answers her silent question.

Kagome nods her head in understanding. She walks over to the passenger side door and gets in. The drive down to Forks took an hour, but it was a pleasant hour. Kagome and Charlie talked for a while but he noticed she looked tired so he let her sleep the rest of the way, which was fine with Kagome.
