I know I said somewhere in one of my stories wasn't going to start another story but the screen to my phone is busted and I can't see anything but blue lines, so now I have to write the story on my old phone, which has no Internet unless its connected to wifi. I can't get to my stories and everything I've written in the past two weeks is gone. T.T Anyway I hope you guys enjoy this one, I apologize if anything about this isn't correct in a situation Kagome is put into, but I can't go on the Internet, and look, but this is a story and anything can go in a fiction story. Also I'm not sure if crime is the proper genre to tag it in but, oh well.

Kagome and her father had been in the gas station when it happened. They had gone in to get some food after a long drive to their home, three days prior had been Kagome's 18th birthday and her father took her out to celebrate it by going to a concert and shopping. Kagome wasn't someone who was into shopping, but once in awhile it was fun. She went behind the counter that had hot dogs on a rotating around on a hot surface to keep them warm. The lights went off, but the people murmured before going back to business, the hot dog machine still worked and little did she know that those hot dogs would save her life as she looked at the chips that were displayed underneath it when she heard a loud bang that sounded like an explosion as people screamed, there wasn't many, just a few men and a woman shopping in the gas station, Kagome ducked down, staying behind the counter.
"Everyone on the floor, and don't move a muscle after that. If I see you moving then you'll get popped full of lead." Said a demanding yet airy voice as Kagome did what he asked, she didn't know whether or he saw he but she wasn't taking the chance as she scooted over so she was under the lip of the counter where the hot dogs where cooking. So if anyone walked by, and was higher than the counter they'd miss her. It took everything in her power to keep herself from crying out as peeked out, able to see the man who was shoot and killed. Looking directly across from her isle she saw her father glare at her as she quietly shrunk back and looked at him, trying not to hyperventilate.
"Now fill the bag!" The voice shouted at the clerk, Kagome flinched as she looked at her father, who motioned her to be quiet as she watched him take out his cell and call a number she assumed was 911. She wanted to kick herself for not thinking of that, this guy may have had a gun but he was alone.
"Did you not hear me! Fill the bag with cash!" The man yelled before shooting his gun again, she heard people scream and whimper as Kagome assumed another person was killed.
"Don't do what I say and I'll shoot another!" The man growled as Kagome heard the sound of something opening and rustling paper. She kept looking at her dad trying to calm down as he stared back, Kagome couldn't tell if he had been scared or not but he was always calm in such a situation. Then she did something she hadn't done when she was a kid, she made a little heart with her hands as her father watched and copied her. The little hand heart they shared was just another way of saying 'I love you' without the words.
"Thank you for your cooperation." The man said as Kagome heard a click.
"Hey what are you-!" The man never finished his words as the guy shot him anyway, then Kagome froze as she heard him shoot more people, and each time the gun went off the less screams and crying she heard, until the boots make their way to her father, she was far enough away so that she was able to see the man. He had long black hair and red eyes, she thought that he was so bold as to not wear a mask but she remembered the power had been turned off. She watched horror as the man put gun to her fathers head, that's when she first saw him cry and slightly shake his head, she was about to distract him when he father's silent plea to not do it made her stop. She couldn't stop the silent tears that fell down her face as the man shot her father in the back.
"I'll let you die slow, since, you know, you called the cops." The man said as Kagome saw him sniff the air and walk over to the counter and stood there, Kagome froze, trying not to even breath, she thought it was over when he simply left the store. Seconds sirens could be heard a the cop cars pulled up, but it was too late, and he was gone. Kagome ran to her father as cried out to him like a little girl, holding his hand as he looked at her with sad eyes.
"Daddy! Don't! Leave me!" She cried as the cops rushed in, she vaguely her one cuss and another call for an ambulance Kagome felt herself shaking with fear as she took her father's hand and held it.
"I'll. . . A-always be with you. . ." He choked out as paramedics came, they already suspected someone was hurt. Kagome felt herself being lightly moved away from her father and watched as they put him on the stretcher taking him away. Kagome followed and got in the ambulance with them as they rushed to the hospital. She took her fathers hand again and held it was the paramedics tried saving him.
"I'm sorry dad I should have-." She began but her throat was too thick with grief to speak.
"D-don't be. . . Kagome. . . I love you and I-I'm glad your safe. . ." He said with difficulty a the heart monitor that had been put on he was beeping slowly, until it stopped and had one on going sound.
"Dad!" She sobbed as they tried to revive him to know avail, one of the paramedic let her cling to him as she sobbed into the stranger.
"I'm sorry for your loss." He said as he patted her back, the siren went off as they slowly drove back to the hospital.
