Prologue


" Keep your feet on the ground, but let your heart soar as high as it will. Refuse to be average or to surrender to the chill of your spiritual environment." - Arthur Helps

A young woman stared down at a letter in her shaking hands with worry and excitement in her open face. Her teeth claimed her lip worrying it as her finger slipped under the flap ripping it open. Her bright blue eyes tracked each word and relief made it's way to her face and a smile lighten the room.

"I am accepted." She murmured as her other hand wove it's way through her hair messing up her messy pony tail. As if not believing her eyes she re-read the letter aloud.

"Dear Higurashi Kagome,

We are pleased to announce you have been accepted into Kayawa academy. You are to been rooming with Tiaja, Sango. You are recommended to contact your new roommate so all runs smoothly. We'll be expecting you soon.

Eiji Fumio."

The woman, Kagome, squealed with delight and took out a hidden photo of a taller man that shared her looks.

"See that dad? I'm going to Kayawa!" She whispered to the creased photo and then held it to her heart. I'm going! Oh dad I hope you see this from heaven, it's going to be so exciting! To think i'm going to go to school where you did, where you and mum met!  Kagome jumped up from her bed and ran down the stairs like a bat out of hell talking at the top of her lungs.

"Mom! Souta! Grandpa!"

"Dear calm down least you trip on the stairs again." A woman with short brown hair said kindly with a towel in her damp hands while her brother barely looked upfrom his PlayStation.

"Is it the letter?" Grandpa asked from the kitchen table writing things on strips of paper.

"Yes! I'm accepted." Kagome said watching her mother closely who in turn closed her eyes shut tightly at the news. "Aren't you happy mama?"

"Oh dear, I can't understand why you would want to go there." She said opened eyes that held steel in them. Kagome frowned at her mother and scowled lightly.

"I already told you, I want to go there because I want to make you proud and I get to learn more about papa." She said softly know this was a tender spot. Her mother sighed and her shoulders slumped knowing that Kagome had made her mind up a year ago when she applied to the demon and miko academy.

"We're already proud of you, you're making it through high school with good marks and everything. What's more to proud of?" Her mother said turning back to the kitchen. Kagome lowered her blue eyes for a moment and then brought them back up with determination.

"I know there's much more out there for me then just good grades. Going to this school and I will be able to embrace my destiny, leave my mark on the world, I just know it!" She exclaimed and ignored her brother who rolled his eyes.

"You can leave your mark by becoming a shrine maiden, right dad?" Her mother said placing a lid on a pot that was steaming.

"Let her make her own way, just like you did." Grandpa said finishing up the last character with a flourish. "Kagome, our little bird needs to set her wings out and soar."

"Thank you grandpa." Kagome said with relief knowing that the matter was no officially closed, she was going to Kayawa academy where all the best miko's were trained along side demons of this era. She was going to place her mark on the world alright in more then one way.
