Our Treasure

One

Kagome Higurashi looked at her new school that was in the distance with blank eyes before a sigh left her lips. She hadn't been really going back to school since she dropped out of her middle school. She had finished her secondary schooling from home and since the well was now sealed off she was going to start high school.

Though she was going to have a lot of differences now...Kagome was going to be living on her own because of family problems and going to a school that hadn't opened that long ago...it only opened up a couple years.

She wanted to move on with her life, hence why a school so far away from home. She would have her own apartment, and would just keep her grades up and her Aunt would be paying for her until she was done with High School.

Kagome knew her mother wouldn't want to pay for it, hence why she went to her Aunt. Though her mother is now even more made at her. But...she would deal with that later. Right now she was just happy to be living a normal live.

...as normal as a life as she could.

As she continued her way down the street to her new school, she just hoped everything would be alright.

As she saw the school she could only help but think where all her friends were...Ayumi, Eri and Yuka were all going to the local school...and all of the other...her mind flashed back to some of her friends.

'Gome-chii! Lets get some Ice Cream!

A warm hand patting her on the head, as he held a small stuffed animal down in front of her face.

Mismatched eyes looked at her as he moves a shogi piece and chuckles as she threw her hands up in defeat.

Kagome shook her head as she cleared her thoughts, she didn't want to think of the past. They probably didn't want to see her again anyway. She did just disappear off the face of the earth on them...but she had a duty to uphold. She had to finish the Shikon no Tama and fight Naraku. That was now done and she could concentrate on her life.

Though she did regret leaving them like she did...she had to though. She had the jewel business going on and family troubles at the same time. School wasn't at the top of her mind then. She cared for her friends deeply...but sometimes one has to give up things to do what is right.

Or she hoped that it was the right decision.

"Join the Swimming club!"

"Do you like art! Then join the Art club!"

Kagome gave a small chuckle as she walked through the school entrance. All the clubs were advertising clubs for the first years. They were definitely trying to get people by all the clubs out and about.

As she walked through she stopped when she heard a club that caught her attention.

"Basketball! Join the Basketball club!"

'Basketball' Kagome thought, as she looked at a table where there were three people standing. She knew she shouldn't but maybe...maybe...'Maybe I'll see them.'

If she joined she could have a chance to see them again. They may hate her now...but she just wanted to see them again. To see how they were doing.

A small smile made its way to her face as she walked over to the three, as she stood in front of them they gave her a curious look.

"Can I sign up for the basketball club?" she gave them a smile, she wanted to make a good impression.

This probably would be the only time she would get a chance to see her old friends again...she would give it her all to see them...even though she was positive they didn't want to see her.

"Ah! Sadly we are only a male basketball club." one of the males said, giving a sheepish smile.

Kagome laughed, "I don't mean as a player. I was hoping to help as a manager...or even just someone helping out with the team." She did help out when she was in middle school...they all made sure she was with them as much as possible.

"You want to be a manager?" The girl asked, looking the girl over, her eyes narrowing as if studying her.

Kagome nodded, "Yes, I was the manager...and helping in middle school. I miss it." ...more like she missed them.

The girl gave her a bright smile, as she handed Kagome a paper to fill out "I think we could work out something. What's your name?"

"Kagome Higurashi...Its nice to meet you." She hoped that her spur of the moment decision was the right one.

Time would only tell.
