Chapter Two: The Great Cardboard Aventure



“Mama,, Souta, Jii-chan I’m home…hello?”



Taking off her brown loafers, Kagome arranged them by the front door on top of the straw mat.

Dropping her pack onto the ground the miko followed her nose to the kitchen.



“Hello dear, how was school?” the nurturing voice of Mrs. Higurashi drifted around the kitchen, combining with the sounds simmering food and the sent of spices Kagome could only describe as home.



“Same old, same old, looking,” said Kagome, walking fully into the kitchen. Kagome took one look at what was suppose to be the old oak table and gasped.



Before her was box after box piled haphazardly on top each other.



Small boxes, stained boxes, oddly dented boxes - boxes of all varieties met Kagome’s blue eyes. “Mama you know spring cleaning already passed, right?”



Kagome couldn’t resist and poked one of the boxes, which caused a cloud of smoke to arise from the worn brown cardboard.



After sneezing repeatedly, the young time traveler turned her watery eyes to her mother whose mouth was hidden behind her hand in a half-hearted effort to conceal her laughter.





“Mama that’s not funny…okay I lied, it was funny, but you shouldn’t laugh at your darling lovable daughter,” said a pouting Kagome to her still-laughing mother.



‘Maybe the government released lots of crazy chemicals into the air and that’s causing funny things to happen’ thought Kagome. ‘Yeah, and the nice men in the white suits are actually magical leprechauns that want to have tea with Naraku.’ snorting at her own stupidity Kagome once again turned her attention to the boxes on her kitchen table.



“So what are these, Mama?” Kagome asked her mother once she had composed her self.



“Those are just some old boxes I found in the attic. I thought we could have some fun searching through them together. I know it won’t be anything compared to traveling through time, but your aging mother would appreciate the quality time,” responded Mrs. Higurashi.



Kagome for the first time paused and studied her mother’s face gentle face.



Gazing into her eyes Kagome saw just how much her time traveling had worn her mother down. Crossing the kitchen in just a few steps, Kagome hugged her mother tightly for what seemed like an eternity.



How long had it been since she had given her mother a hug that hadn’t been a result of her crying her heart out because of Inuyasha or some other feudal disaster that had occurred? ‘Too long,’ thought the miko sadly.



“What’s wrong dear?” Asked Mrs. Higurashi, her arms wrapped around her daughter’s shoulder, one hand on her back while the other ran its fingers threw the dark silk her miko daughter called hair.



“You know I love you, Mama, right?” Came the muffled question from Kagome, whose head was buried in her mother’s shoulder. There she could smell her mother’s perfume - the one she had worn since Kagome was a small child.



“Of course! Now what nonsense is this? What is that mind of yours thinking, Kagome?” Said Mrs. Higurashi as she cupped her daughter’s face in her warm hands. “I know you love me, and I also know that you love your friends in the past. Your heart is big enough to hold all these people and neither time, nor death, nor any other thing can stop love, my dear - not when it is in it’s purest, most unconditional form,” she continued.



“You are a light to all, Kagome, my own dear little light. But I cant keep you all to myself! You are a gift to be shared with the world, be it in the present, or the past, or even the future that is to come.” Kissing her teary-eyed Kagome’s face, Mrs. Higurashi detangled herself from her daughter’s arms after giving her a final squeeze.



“Now, while these cookies bake we can begin our great box adventure; what do you say, Kagome?”



Wiping her eyes, Kagome gave her mother a blinding, hundred watt, smile one that showed all her pearly white teeth - a hard earned reward after three years of being a “metal mouth.”



“Okay! Let’s start with this one.” Reaching up on her toes, Kagome grabbed a box near the top of the cardboard mountain.



The box was heavier then Kagome had anticipated and she began to wonder just what these boxes contained.



Placing the box onto the ground in front of her kneeling mother, Kagome lowered herself to the ground and sat with her legs half crossed - lotus style.



“Okay, before we open it, what do you think is in here?” Kagome asked her mother, turning curious sapphire-blue eyes to gaze at her mother’s doe-brown eyes.



“Let’s just hope it’s not another portal to the past. I believe one is enough.” The mother and daughter pair shared a giggle like two elementary girls eating stolen cookies.



The shrill ring of the timer cut short the women’s laughter as Mrs. Higurashi arose to check on her cookies.



“Perfect timing! They’re done.” Setting the metal tray down, Mrs. Higurashi began to remove the cookies from the tray and set them onto a white porcelain plate. Steam rose from the baked delights, oatmeal chocolate chip -Kagome’s favorite.



Laying the steaming tray down on the floor between herself and her daughter, Mrs. Higurashi once again turned her attention to the unopened box encircled in her daughter’s arms.



“You didn’t open it?” asked a surprised Mrs. Higurashi. Usually her daughter’s curiosity was insatiable and often led her into trouble…lots of trouble.



“No. We should do it together. Ready?” Upon seeing her mother nod, the ever-curious miko grasped the box’s top and began to slide it up.



Inside the box laid various tangled trinkets; some that looked like jewelry. Smiling with glee, the two women began to untangle their newly found treasure. And to think this was still the first box!
