"I hate roses" The black haired female said without much interest as she backed out of the open door. This was no Kagome's day. She had been trying to find her way around the school all afternoon. She was lost, angry and wanted to go home. She was thankful she had managed to get into the school, but honestly she was only here to study. Already she'd had a few guys ask her on a date, and she didn't want that.
After the well had closed up she hadn't been able to eat for days. She missed all of her friends dearly, and wanted to see them again. She had completely ignored the looks of surprise from the kids in the club and walked out of the door without a second thought. So she was startled when a little blond boy came out and smiled at her.
"'Gome-chan why don't you have some cake with me?" The boy asked smiling sweet. "My name's Mitsukuni, but everyone calls me Honey" He added.
Kagome smiled softly at him, blinking back the sudden memories of Shippo he brought her. "I'd love to, but maybe some other time. If I don't get to the train station I'm going to miss the last train home. I'm a little lost" Kagome added sheepishly.
"Oh, okay tomorrow then?" He asked hopefully, before giving her directions to get out of the school.
Kagome smiled and thanked him, "Of course, I'll see you tomorrow then! Thank you!" Kagome said walking quickly out of the school so she could get to the train station. It didn't take her long since she knew how to get out of the school now. Sitting on the train she allowed her tears to fall as she remembered her Kitsune's laughter and energy. She missed all of them so much. "Inuyasha" She murmured resting her head against the window as the memory of her last day with them flooded into her mind.
~~~
Kagome smiled at all of her friends as they sat around the fire talking about what they were going to do now that Naraku was dead. She was leaning against Inuyasha, but merely in a friendly way. She had realized, not long before the battle with Naraku they were only going to be friends. And she had accepted that as well. It wasn't easy, but she realized that she didn't want to be second best. The jewel hung complete around her neck and everyone was happy.
"Kagome?" Shippo asked.
"Yes?" The girl responded looking at the fox kit gently.
"Are you going to stay with us?" The boy asked softly looking afraid.
"I have to finish school, but I promise I'll visit" Kagome assured him.
"Lady Kagome, it too would be my honor if you bared my child" Miroku said teasingly making Sango hit him.
"You'll never change will you monk?" Sango asked rolling her eyes.
"Keh, you just realized this?" Inuyasha asked smirking.
"Inuyasha…" Kagome trailed off warningly.
"You can't sit me now, the beads are gone!" He taunted making her roll her eyes.
"I know I know" Kagome conceded lightly enjoying the playful banter. She had been surprised to see Rin running over to her.
"Kagome! I picked this for you to say thanks" The little girl said holding up a rose.
"Thank you Rin" Kagome murmured taking the rose and looking around at the group. "Well, I have school in the morning, and I can't afford to miss anymore. I'll be back this weekend!" She promised hugging them each goodbye and taking the rose with her. She had left her bag figuring she could get it later. All it had in it was memorabilia from this time and a few photographs of her friends and herself.
Little did she know she'd never be going back. Oddly enough the rose hadn't aged at all. It was still sitting, pristine as ever, on her dresser. Mocking her, reminding her of her last day with her friends.

Kagome sighed softly as the train pulled to a stop getting out of the train holding the plain brown bag containing her things, her poufy yellow dress making people stare at her. She smiled at the people she knew but otherwise ignored the looks walking to her shrine and up the insane amount of steps.
"Mom I'm home" She called out softly; Souta didn't start school until tomorrow, today he had been oriented into the Ouran Middle School. She had no idea how her mom was paying for both of them to go this school, but she was afraid to ask.
"So how was school today dear?" Mrs. Higurashi asked from behind the stove the smell of oden filling the air.
"Fine, I got lost though. It's so huge!" Kagome said chatting amiably with her mom. She felt bad, knowing her mother was always worrying about her. She brought her fingers up to touch the purple gem at her throat, held in place by a black chocker cord.
She caught her mother's sad smile and closed her eyes before opening them. "How was Souta?" She asked before said little brother entered the room.
"I was fine! The school's neat and most of the people were nice enough" He said with a shrug.
"That's good," Kagome said cheerfully, happy for her brother.
"The clubs there are awesome! They have a video game designing club!" He exclaimed making the girl laugh.
"That's good. I take it you're going to join?" Kagome asked.
"Yeah! The schools are huge though" Souta added unsure.
"I know….There are so many rich kids in one place" Kagome added amazed. The rest of the night's dinner conversation went like so discussing the new schools and the two siblings fears. Kagome forgot about her sadness for a bit and she fell asleep happily, dreaming of cake instead of the nightmares she normally had.
A/N So guess what? I've made my first crossover. I'm proud of myself. I'd also like to thank MoonDragonsLove (Megan) for telling me this was good. Because without her, this story's first chapter would be just a title idea and not even typed up or only the first paragraph would be typed up then forgotten about. =D
