~~OO~~II~~OO~~
((Prologue))
A young woman fisted her hands in her hair, obviously annoyed. Annoyance showing in her beautiful azure eyes, she glowered at the paper and pencil on the desk before her, holding the phone she was talking on to her ear. She was currently attempting to accomplish her homework while her greatly beloved cousin attempted to explain things to her…while being half way across the world, in America.
"That…just made no sense," She said dully, running her fingers through her hair. "Care to explain again?"
Her cousin groaned from his end of the line, impatience apparent. "Kagome, I've been telling you the same thing for the past four hours! All you have to do is multiply the three numbers in the pair of parentheses, and then add that number with the number outside the parentheses!"
"Again," the girl, Kagome, pointed out. "No sense."
Her cousin gave a frustrated groan. "Put down the damn equations and just talk! We haven't just talked in forever, woman!"
Kagome tossed her pencil down again, rolling her eyes. "Fine. Talk."
Her cousin eagerly asked, "How are Souta, Aunt Hikari, Grandpa Akio, and Uncle Shichiro? Good I hope? Any luck with your singing plans? And any boys I need to beat off with my crowbar, which happens to be sitting all dusty in my bedroom closet? Speaking of that, I need to move that before my roommate finds it again…"
Kagome laughed, rolling her desk chair over to her bedroom window to look out over the yard as she talked. "Miroku, we talk about the same stuff every time. Nothings changed in the past twenty four hours other than the fact that I broke up with my boyfriend -finally."
Miroku sighed. "You need to get noticed, Kagome. You're voice is just…amazing. I think you put my roommate in a trance the other day when you posted that video of yours to Youtube and told me to show it to your girlfriend if I wanted…"
"Wait, your roommate -who you refuse to tell me their name- saw my video, too?" Kagome yelped.
"Course," Miroku sounded amused. "That guy has the sharpest hearing in the world. Can't stop him from hearing anything."
Someone suddenly yelled in the background and Miroku laughed before calling back, "You know you wouldn't kill me! I'm the one who remembers to buy all your food!"
There was a sudden violent curse coming from Miroku, and then a slamming door. When a crash could be heard from his end of the call, he yelled, "Break my door down and you're paying for it!"
Kagome laughed, running her fingers through her hair. "I love your roommate, and I haven't even heard or met him yet."
Miroku laughed nervously. "I love him, too, but I think he wants to kill me at the moment…"
More yelling, but Miroku obviously ignored it when Kagome said, "So…switching from women, eh?" "Hell no!" Miroku snorted. "I'm a ladies' man, through and through."
"That's a relief," Kagome sighed. "Eri keeps saying that she wants to meet you and Yuka always asks if you're cute."
She could practically see her cousin waggle his eyebrows. "So I got 'em and they haven't even met me…"
"Miroku, don't you have a girlfriend?" Kagome pointed out. "So none of my friends for you and your…flings. Besides…you're half way across the world, remember? We're in Japan."
Miroku groaned. "How could I forget the young beauties that still await me in your fine country…"
Click.
((~~OO~~))
In America, a young man sat on his bed, frowning at his phone that said 'call ended'. "Huh," Miroku Higurashi mused. "Guess she must have dropped her phone or gotten caught by Uncle Shichiro…she'll call me back whenever she feels like it…"
((~~OO~~))
((A Day Later))
Miroku propped his chin in his hand, watching his roommate and girlfriend battle each other in Medal of Honor on his Playstation3. His newly acquired Iphone4 sat in his lap as he waited impatiently for his cousin to call again.
He frowned, glancing down at the Iphone impatiently. He had called Kagome's phone around four times since she had suddenly hung up the day before, and he was becoming increasingly anxious about her well-being. Is she alright? He wondered silently as his girlfriend got a headshot in on his roommate.
"Got ya," his girlfriend said smugly, smirking. "Again?"
"You bet, wench," his roommate said gruffly, quickly setting up another round. "I'm not letting a woman beat me at my favorite game."
His girlfriend snorted with amusement, readying her controller. "Try and beat me, half-breed," she said, voice light and teasing so he wouldn't take any serious offense.
The round began.
About halfway through, Miroku's phone rang, startling both of his friends, causing their characters to both get shot by some random man they were playing with.
"Damn it!" His girlfriend cursed, glaring at Miroku. "Look what you did!"
"Yeah!" His roommate joined in, "I was just about to-"
Miroku hit the back of his head to shut him up as he answered the phone. "Hello? Oh, Aunt Hikari. How are you doing?"
"Thank Kami you answered!" Hikari responded in a hysterical tone, sobs coming from her end.
Miroku frowned, gaze darkening as his aunt and Kagome's mother began to babbly. "Aunt Hikari," He interrupted softly in Japanese. "What's going on? Is everyone alright?" "No!" Hikari sobbed. "Souta-kun's fine. Shichiro and I are fine. But Kagome…"
Miroku stiffened, not noticing that the two others before him had begun watching intently. "What about Kagome?! Is she okay!?"
Hikari gave a wail. "We were out getting some take out for dinner last night, and when we came home…" Her voice cracked. "Kagome…she was…she was lying in her own…" She broke off.
Miroku's face paled and he sat ram-rod straight. "Kagome's…?"
Hikari took a breath to compose herself. "N…no, she's alive. But whoever tried to…to…kill her made sure she might still…die. She's….Kagome's asking for you, Miroku-kun. Please…Please!…find a way to make it to Japan! Please!" She began to sob again. "Kagome needs you, Miroku-kun!"
"I'm coming," Miroku said determinedly. "I'll call you when I land in Japan." He clicked the 'off' button and raced into his room, digging for his suit case and throwing some clothes in.
"Miroku, what the hell is going on?" His roommate snapped irritably, appearing in the doorway.
Miroku shoved past him to the bathroom, grabbing his toothbrush. "My cousin, Kagome, the one that always sang for us? Someone tried to murder her last night. I need to get to the airport…Sango? Will you drive me? Inuyasha, tell your father please. I don't need to lose my job, too." His girlfriend, Sango, nodded curtly, face pale. "Hurry and pack, I'll start the car." She vanished.
Inuyasha, the roommate, blinked in shock, eyes wide. "Who'd want to murder her?!" "I don't know," Miroku snapped, shoving his laptop into the bag. "Tell your father," Miroku repeated, dragging his suitcase out the door and snatching up his Iphone. "I'll be back in a few weeks!"
Then he was out the door, heading for Japan…where his cousin lay, struggling to survive.
((~~OO~~))
