Kagome Higurashi at age 16 with long, gray hair and eyes, past was full of pain so she became a Yankee, because of so many people try to pick a fight with her, including boys. Her mom died when she was 5 and she never knew her dad, so she went to live with her Grandmother, Saya. Kagome tried her best to change her ways for her but some people still try to pick a fight with her
As Kagome walked home from a long boring day of high school, she passed by a park. She notice that the cherry blossoms started to fall so she decided to take a detour though the park. Kagome can't help but lose herself at the beautiful sight. It was like it was raining petals. She never before felt so clam and content. Kagome needed it after everything she's been through in her rough life: mom dying, no dad, and her old self she use to be.
Finally, Kagome saw that is was getting late so she started to head home.On her wayshe passed by a gang of 5 rouge boys hanging by the fountain.Kagome didn't want to get involved with anything so she tried to keep her distance. Unfortunately that did not work and the rustling of the grass gave her away. When they saw Kagome,they said something to her but she was too far away to hear but knew it had to do with her and a fight. When they face her, Kagome recognized that they're from her school, all 5 of them; Kikyou, Naraku, Diva, Orochimaru, and Itachi. All were known for picking fights with many students, they didn't even attend class most of the time and they even tried to pick fights with her some of the times.
When they finally were close enough to land a punch Kagome told them off; the last thing she wanted was to become her Yankee self again.
"Not now you guys. I'mbusy
"Oh, is that so? You heading home to granny, Kagome?" said Kikyouthat ticked Kagome off. Kagome had to restrain herself from socking Kikyou in the face.
"I think I hit nerve." chuckledKikyou
"Come on let's start the fun!"
As they come at her, Kagome turn and ran; she didn't want to get involved or revert to her old ways. Kagome can here them running at her and getting closer. Kagome knew that they were going to get her, so she tried to jack rabbit around the trees but then at that moment she trip on a root and twist her ankle and couldn't help but scream in pain. Kagome tried to get up but she just fell down again.
Aww, did the poor girl hurt her self?" Naraku chuckled.
All 5 of them were pulverizing Kagome in the ground. Naraku even beat her with a branch. Kagome could feel it slicing her skin open and feel the warm blood trickle down. Kagome knew that this was getting serious. Then she heard Kikyou pick up something but she knew that it would only make things worse if she looked so she didn't.
She braced herself for the impact. Kagome knew there was nothing she could do with her ankle the way it was. She waited but nothing happened. Then Kagome heard Itachi speak.
"Hey! Kikyou, are you alright?"
Kagome lifted her head to see a figure of a guy and Kikyou getting up off of the ground with a brick by her side. She presumed the guy just pounded Kikyou in the face. At that moment the stranger stepped out of the shadows looking pissed. He had dark brown hair and gray-blue eyes.
"Your going to pay for that!" screechedKikyou.
"I'd like to see you try." smirked the stranger.
At that, Orochimaru went at him but the stranger dodged him like it was nothing.
'Wow, he's good'was all she can think of. SuddenlyKagome felt faint and dizzy, she knew it was from loss of blood and she took a look at herself and saw that she looked worse than she thought. Many gashes lay open letting the blood flow and she was covered in blood.
Kagome tried to get up thinking it might help, but it only increased the pain. Diva then noticed her getting up and pushes her down again with her foot. "Stay down; we're not finished with you just yet."
All Kagome could do was lay there, she had no strength to try and get up again. Then...all went black, her last sight was Kikyou and her gang ready to attack the stranger.
When Kagome woke up, she wasn't on the ground any more but on a park bench. Kagome looked around and saw that Kikyou and her gang were face down in the ground.
After looking at the scene,she tries to get up but not with much effort, everything still hurts. Reaching for a painful spotshe noticed that there were bandages and wraps all over her.
"I wouldn't do that if I was you. You might open something up again."Kagome recognized the voice from the stranger but this time is wasn't so stun but more gentle. "Your probably wondering who I am. Well, my name is Inuyasha. Now, I think you should head home."
At that, she remembered her grandmother. Kagome knew she would be scared to death of what happened to herKagome glance at her watch, it read 9:01pm.
"SHIT!!!!" she screamed. "How long have I been out?"
"A few hours. Your wounds were serious and you lost a lot of blood so I thought I'd let you rest."
"I have to get home!" Kagome said. She tries to hop down but there was so much pain that she fell to her knees.
"Would you like some help?" says Inuyasha as he reaches out a hand.
All she did was nod; he then picked her up and placed Kagome on his back giving her a piggy-back ride. "So which way?"
Oh, um... I live on Nomi Drive." She said blushing.
As Inuyasha carries Kagome, shecouldn't help but ask him,
"How did you take Kikyou and her gang of fools down so easily?"
Inuyasha just stopped walking after she asked. She couldn't help but get the feeling that she shouldn't have asked.
Inuyasha sighs. "Well, if you must know, I'm a were-wolf. So for me it was a piece of cake."
"Ya, I know but I swear that I wont hurt you, I'm good." saidInuyasha
"Oh, I know. I mean if you weren't then, well, you wouldn't be helping me am I right? I can just tell that you're a real nice person."
Kagome couldn't help but smile when she said this. Inuyasha just looked at her wide eyed.
"Thanks ummm... I never caught your name by the way, what is it?
Oh sorry, I'm Kagome Higurashi." she said, a little embarrassed for not telling him sooner.
"WellKagome, Thanks."
"No problem. I should be the one thanking though, you saved my life, and if you never came then I would probably be dead right now." She said.
"Well, I couldn't just stand around and not help out, I just had to, and so there's no need to thank me. OK?" repliedInuyasha
Oh, okay" Kagome replied. Another question popped into her head at that moment, she knew that she would regret asking but Kagome had to ask.
"What's a guy like you doing all alone? I mean-" Kagome said getting cut-off.
"Don't worry, I have friends. A Vampire named Haji and a Shape-Shifter named Sesshoumaru. Haji is the kind of person who keeps to him self but also speaks his mind. Sesshoumaru is the kind who acts before he thinks. He's always eager to fight." Inuyasha says with a smile.
"They sound like a nice group of friends. The kind of people who stick up for each other, am I right?" Kagome says.
"Ya, their a nice group to be around." Inuyasha says keeping his smile.
"Maybe Ill introduce you sometime."
"I would like to see you again too." Kagome replied.
Then at that time, Kagome seesher house. "That's my house right there. Thanks again for everything, Inuyashashe says as he sets her down but still holding on so she doesn't put so much weight on her ankle.
"No problem"
When Kagome opened the door and let her and Inuyasha in, her grandmother comes running to her.
Oh my goodnessgraces!! What happened, Kagomeher grandmother said, freaking out at her sight.
Saya-san, I'm ok. I just got pulverized today on my way home from school by Kikyou and her gang of fools, its no big deal. Inuyasha, here is the one who helped me out."
Kagome said pointing to Inuyasha as he sets her down on the sofaKagome had called her grandmother Saya-san since she could remember.She was always there to comfort her and believe in hershe loved her so much. She was also the only one in her family as well.
"Well, young man I can't thank you enough for what you did. Oh, I know, why not havesomething to eatYou must be starving." Kagome's grandmother says as she heads for the kitchen.
"Well I-" says Inuyasha getting cut off
"Just stay and eat, ok?" Kagome says with a smile. "My Saya-san makes really good ramen, why not stay and have a bowl. It is the least we could do."
When herSaya-san comes back from the kitchen with the ramen, Kagome hand Inuyasha his share. She was still a little dazed to find out that he was a were-wolf, it was so cool to her but yet so strange. Kagome knew that keeping this a secret was top priority, she had to protect his secret with her life. She didn't want him to be sent off to some lab to become some experiment subject. Kagome had finally made a friend since she stopped becoming a yankee and she was going to do whatever it took to keep her new and different friend.
"Wow! You were right, Kagome, this is delicious!" says Inuyasha bringing her back to earth.
Ya, told ya so. There's nothing like it any where. I keep telling her to open a ramen shop but she just won't do it." Kagome says with a little laugh.
"Well, I only want this recipe for the family only. The last thing I want is for some total stranger to ask me for it." Saya-san says with a chuckle.
The rest of the night went on like this; laughter and fun. Finally around 10:00 Inuyasha started to head home, Kagome said her good-byes then headed up to take a shower. She couldn't take it how much blood she was covered in. Kagome cranked up the radio and hopped in. Finally around 10:20she was finished and headed to her room to get ready for bed.
"I know for a fact I'm gonna sleep through that alarm." She says to herself as her towel driedher hair.
"Maybe I can just stay home? I know Kikyou and the fools will want a re-match and also, ouch, my ankle still hurts. Well, I could at least ask."
As she headed down stairsshe heard a loud "CRASH!" like a window or glass braking. Kagome rushed down stairs to see what it was all about.
When she was at the last step all she saw was blood, lots of it, and Saya-san on the ground covered in it with a creature type thing next to her where the broken glass door shattered. Tears started to stream down Kagome's face and rage was building up.
"WHAT'D YOU DO TO HER, MONSTER?!! I'LL KILL YOU FOR EVER LYING A HAND ON HER!"
Kagome said this with so much rage that it just came out, but she meant every last word. "You? Kill ME? A Chamera How dare you say such things to me insolent human!" The Chamera lunged at with such force and speed Kagome went flying in to the wall behind her. Right thenKagome remembered how much pain she was already in but that wasn't going to stop her from doing everything she possibly could.
"I'm stronger then I look, monster. You're talking to a former yankee!" Kagome just glared at him with such rage but when she saw him he really was some monster. He looked like a cross between a lion and a human.
"Wha-what are you?"
"I already told you, I'm a Chamara. Now I don't want to waste my strength on someone as weak as you, now tell me where that sniveling wolf is. I know he was here, it reeks of his stench." the Chamara growled.
'What? He's after Inuyasha?! No, I won't tell him. How dare he attack Saya-san and tries to go after the only one I have left. I will kill him for it!' Kagome thought this with such rage that it shown on her face.
"Oh! So you do know. Well, why don't you tell me, human and I wont kill you."
He said this with such pleasure all it did was enrageKagome even more.
"Like, Ill' tell you! Id rather die then give it away to the likes of you!" she sap at and his feet she was so mad.
"Hahaha! You have guts human, Ill say that much so how bout this? Ill grant your wish" The Chamara bowed then lunged at Kagome but then she noticed that he wasn't attacking her but Inuyasha was attacking him
"Not now. You need to go see your grandmother. Go now!" Inuyasha says while shoving the Chamara in to the Dining room.
"Bu-but she's..." she says as tears start to roll down her cheeks.
"Don't worry she still alive, I can hear her breath, but faintly. Now go!"
As Inuyasha goes into the dining room after the ChamaraKagome rushes off to her grandmother. She lay there like she was already dead and she was covered in so much blood it looked like she was bathing in it.
Saya-san I'm so sorry." was all she could muster as more tears flowed.
"There's nothing to be sorry about, Kagome. Now, I just want you to promise me that you'll live life to the fullest and with no regrets. It would also be nice to see you smile from time to time when I'm in Heaven too." Her Saya-san says as Kagome reaches for her hand. She could already feel it getting colder." I-I promiseSaya-san." Kagome cried as she gave her a smileShe tried her best for it to be the best of the best, it was going to be the last one Kagome gave and the last one her Saya-san would see.
"That's my little Firefly. Now the family ramen recipe is in my rose vase. Use it and protect it for me will you? Now always remember...that...I'll always...love...you..." she said as she gave her last breath.
"I love you too, Saya-san" Kagome cried as she put her head on her lifeless body and cried.She had always called Kagome her Little Firefly when life for her was hard. Kagome also remember that this was the hardest she cried since before she became a Yankee. Kagome felt so good to cry but yet it hurt so much.
When Kagome had shed so many tears that she couldn't cry any more, she left to help Inuyasha with the Chamara.Kagome wanted it to rot in hell for what he did. As Kagome reached the dining room the Chamara had Inuyasha pined to a wall.
"First you kill my Grandmother. Now you want to kill my only friend? I can't let you do that. I'm already pissed enough. Now, suffer in hell you rotten scum!!"
Kagome was so enraged that she just spoke what she thought. Inuyasha just stared at Kagome, shocked at what she said. Kagome wasn't surprised because she had become her old self.
Kagome lunged at the Chamara with a silver candle stick that she quickly picked up and surprisingly hit him but he had also got her, he had got her upper arm with his claws and it bleedKagome didn't care, she was so pissed.
"What do you think your doing, KagomeInuyasha yelled as he pulled her into the sunroom and closing the heavy door behind you both.
"ILL KILL HIM! ILL...Ill..." was all she could say before she started to cry again. Then Kagome felt Inuyasha embrace her.
"Its ok, KagomeInuyasha said with a soothing voice. "Do you have a phone I can use, I'm going to call for Haji and Sesshoumaru."
"sniffs, Ya its over by the coffee table" she says pointing to it.
As Inuyasha dialed the numberKagome walked over to the rose vase and reached in and found the recipe, Kagome then folded it and placed in her pocket.
"Ok thanks, Later." said Inuyasha as he hung up the phone. "They'll be here soon, don't worry, Kagome. You alright?" he said with concern.
"Ya but I miss her." Kagome says as a tear falls down her cheek
"Don't worry,Kagome. I promise you that things will get better, ok?"Inuyasha says with a look of concern.
"Alright."She says wiping away the last of her tears. Kagome was so down, Kagome couldn't stop thinking where she'll go next? An Orphanage?Some friend of the family? So many questions filled her mind that she forgot about the Chamara until it let it self in the sunroom with such rage.
"Damn that thing. It just won't leave." She says glaring at it. All she wanted was to see it die a horrible death. Kagome wanted to suffer so much it hurt."Don't worry, the one thing it hates is fire." Inuyasha says picking up a lithe candle. Once it saw the flame on the candle it fled, but not before Inuyasha grabbed a hold of the Chamara's long hair and setting it a flame. The Chamara was enveloped by the flames so easily and quickly that it was soon ashes before she knew it. "There, now rot in hell, damn thing!" Inuyasha said spitting on the ashes.
"That gives me an idea. Do you think we could do the same to Saya-san?" Kagome says while looking at the ashes then to Inuyasha.
"Ya, why not? Come on, we can do it in the fireplace." Inuyasha says while picking up the burnt wood that lay in the fire place. As he cleaned the rest of itKagome went to go get Saya-san. She just laid there and she looked so peaceful and content that it didn't even look like she was dead but just sleeping. As Kagome picked up her dead bodyshe could feel that all the warmth had left it. It pained her to feel the cold body like someone was stabbing her in the heart.
When Kagome finally got her into the fireplace ready to be crucifiedshe felt her hand for the last time. Inuyasha then picked up a lithe candle and set her bloody dress a flame.
"Do you think she's happy? In Heaven I mean." Kagome says as she watched her body become ashes.
"Ya I'm sure she is." Inuyasha said to her in a vary comforting voice.
At that moment the door flung open and to men about Inuyasha's age come through the door way.
It's ok, Kagome, it's just Haji and SesshoumaruInuyasha says before she could go at them.
"Oh, sorry."Kagome said as she backed-down. She looked at each trying to guess who was who even though it was a bit obvious. One had light brown hair whoshe thought was Sesshoumaru and the other had black hair who she guessed was Haji.
"WHERE'S THE DAMN CHAMARA?!" the expected Sesshoumaru screams out looking all over.
"Well, you were late so I finished it off instead." Inuyasha says with a grin. Kagome could see that he enjoyed the look of anger Sesshoumaru got on his face.
"Damn you, Inuyasha! You know how much I enjoy do it myself!" Sesshoumaru says with anger.
"So this must be, Kagome, am I right?" Ty says looking at you. Kagome couldn't help but spot his fangs, and finding out she was right.
"Um...ya I'm Kagome. Thanks for coming even though you were late." she says to Haji ask he steps over to the fire place and sets something upon the flames.
"Hey! What'd you do?!" Kagome says trying to get him to step away.
"Oh, my apologies I was just giving her a rose." Haji says as he points to the flaming rose. The rose was a very deep red, almost black which was not from the fire.
"Oh...sorry and um...thank you." She says to him. Kagome was very shocked to see the kind of person he was. Inuyasha had told her differently. She gave him a confused look hoping he would get the concept but all he did was lift up his shoulders.
All 4 of you prayed and watch her Saya-san go from body to ash. Kagome prayed the most, mostly for finding happiness after this and to find a way to keep seeing these strange guys, she had grown a strange friendship with them that she had wanted to keep.
After an hour or so all was left was ash which Kagome put in a bottle she found at the beach with her when she was about 9 years old, this had happened before her mother died, just 3 years before. The bottle was a beautiful dark opal, it was so transient that she could look at it for hours. Kagome gently dumped in the ashes like it was diamond dust then gently fastened a stone cork to the top so none of it would spill. To make sure, Kagome picked up a light twig a set it near the ease of the bottle top and melted the stone to the bottle.
"There. It's perfect. Thanks again Inuyasha, Haji, and Sesshoumaru. You guys have helped me so much I can't thank you enough. And Inuyasha, why? Why do, um did trust me? I mean with your secret of you being a were-wolf and all?"
Kagome say glancing at him in the eyes. She wanted the truth.
"YOU TOLD HER!!!" Sesshoumaru sounded very angry and was getting up in Inuyasha's face.
"SHE NEEDED TO KNOW!!" Inuyasha said screaming back at him.
"WHO KNOWS WHAT SHE COULD DO KNOW?!" Sesshoumaru screamed back at Inuyasha and pushing him down onto the couch behind him.
"We have no other choice. Haji, erase her memory of us, everything got it?" Sesshoumaru said pointing to her with an added glare.
"Erase my memory?! You can't do that! Please no!" Kagome says as more tears start to build up but she pushed them back. Kagome didn't want to cry any more.
"Please forgive me, Kagome. But it is for every body's own good." Sesshoumaru says as he steps toward her and places his hand on her forehead.
"Haji, please! You don't have to do this! Ill keep your secret and if I don't then...you can even kill me." Kagome had said this shocked her and everybody around her.
"Alright, Kagome I trust you, okay? Don't let me down though or Ill kill you my self." Haji said with a glare.
Now Kagome knew that Inuyasha wasn't lying about Sesshoumaru's personality. 'Maybe he was just nice because of Saya-san?' Kagome thought.
"Come on lets go you guys." Inuyasha says as he starts to leave. This surprised her. She couldn't believe what she just heard but she said or did nothing. Kagome didn't want them to do anything like they were going to do so she just turned and started to clean up the Chamara's ashes.
"Bye, Inuyasha, Sesshoumaru, Haji. Thanks again." Kagome said with out turning or looking at them keeping to her job.
"Bye, KagomeInuyasha says in a some what sad voice.
"Later, Kid." Sesshoumaru said. He sounded a little pissed though.
Kagome, you promised remember. And if you break it, I will kill you." Haji says waving good-bye. This actually sent shivers down Kagome's spine. It took Kagome almost 3 hours to clean up everything; the broken glass, other things that broke and the blood. When she looked at the clock it read 3:26 am.
"Screw it! I'm not going to school. Not after everything that happened. Sorry, Saya-san. I just can't." Kagome says as a stray tear falls. When she went up stairs, she took another shower thenwent straight to bed. Not her'sbut Saya-san's bed and when her head hit the pillow, she was already asleep.
When Kagome woke up in Saya-san's roomshe remembered everything and rolled over hoping that she could go back to sleep and wake up again finding it to be just a dream but no luck. When Kagome looked at the clock, it read 12:00 pm.
"Lunch already?"Kagome says grabbing her stomach that wouldn't stop growling. She grabbed her favorite black t-shirt which looked like it had blood splatters on middle to the bottom of the shirt and a bloody hand print on the back and a pair of black pants. Kagome rushed down determined to get something to eat. All she had though was a bowl of rice that filled her just fine.
" How much longer until I'm taken away I wonder?" she says as she sits in the sunroom reading a manga and watching the fire in the fireplace. Kagome seemed safer with it on for some reason and it was nice to just look at the flame as well. After an hour or two of total boredomKagome looked at the clock which finally read 3:10pm,she could now go out with out getting caught by the police or adult.
When Kagome left the house, she just walked with no destination. Kagome then found herself at the park where she had first met InuyashaKagome sat on the bench and remembered. Then she heard rustling of the grass which put her on immediate guard. Then stranger emerge but it wasn't' who she thought it would be. It was Inuyasha!
Inuyasha What are you doing here?"Kagome says as she lowers her guard.
"I'm here to get you.,Sesshoumaru Haji, Yuki and I all discuss it over and agreed that you come and stay with us." Inuyasha says with a smile."Of course Sesshoumaru isn't taking it to well but I'm sure he'll warm up to you. Now let's go get your stuff." Inuyasha says as he turns and starts to head in the direction of your house.
"But-" Kagome says but getting cut off.
"Don't worry about it. Oh, This Yuki person is Haji's cousin. He's what you call a shadow. He can make shadows and even become one, but to us he's just a kind-hearted book-worm." Inuyasha says with a laugh.
"Well, lets' go." Inuyasha says as he takes her hand thinking that she might need to be dragged.
"I can't thank you guys enough. All of you are doing so much for me that I can't help but wonder why." Kagome said looking down. She didn't want Inuyasha to see the look on her face.
"We care about you, Kagome. Also because well, one: you know our secret and two: I don't know about the others but you kind of remind me of my self. I too was a rebelInuyasha says just above a whisper. Kagome practically had to strain to hear him.
"I can believe that. I mean you try so hard to prove that you're not evil, I'm sure its tough on you." Kagome say trying to keep up with his fast pace.
"Ya, at times it can be. Others not so much. Like with you it wasn't." Inuyasha says with a little grin showing off one of his canine teeth. Once Kagome finally reached her houseshe dashed to her room and grabbed as many suitcases she could find. First she packed all of her favorite clothing, then all of her toiletries. She even packed 2 of her pillows (cant sleep with out them both) then her favorite blanket and a blanket Saya-san had made for herKagome even brought her whole manga collection. When she was done packingKagome had 2 suitcases full. Kagome grabbed all of the money and finally grabbed Saya-san and a picture of you both and placed it in her sweater-bag (a shoulder bag that looks like a hoody). She was finally ready. Inuyasha even helped carry a suitcase for her even though she didn't want him to.
As Kagome followed Inuyasha into the forest to where he said was the way to where he lived. Kagome finally noticed that she had been walking for almost and hour.
"Are we walking the whole way? I'm not tried or anything, I'm just wondering." Kagome says trying to get a glimpse of his face.
"Almost there, don't worry. Just a few more." he says keeping his eyes forward.
"Alright. If you say so..."
Right then Kagome sees a clearing of the trees then out popped this huge house. It looked like a mansion but not quite.
"Is that it?" Kagome says stunned by the size.
"Yup, that's home."
Once they reached the entranceKagome sees that everything looked like in came from 18th century London. The design was incredible. Inuyasha then opened the door and inside was even better with the same beautiful design
"This is incredible..." she says breathlessly.
"Ya. It belonged to Yuki and Haji's great-grandfather." Inuyasha says has he started to take off his shoes. Kagome then did the same.
"Come on, this way is your room. It's up stairs." Inuyasha says already on the first step.
"Oh, coming!" She says rushing to catch up.
As Kagome entered the hallway it was very wide and many pictures hung on the walls and small tables with either plants or more pictures were off to the side.
"This is your room. Hope you like it." Inuyasha says as he opens the door and sets Kagome's suitcase off to the side. It was the fourth room to the left. Once she went in it was very big, a little too big but she enjoyed the space. The walls were a nice dark purple and black. To the right, was a canopy bed she had guessed was either a queen or king size with matching colors as the room.To the left of the bed was a large black vanity. Across from the entrance door was a walk-in closet big enough to hold about 30 people. To the right, her room held a chair and couch in front a fire place. Next to which held a nice size book case that looked like it could hold 200 books.
"Well, Ill leave you to unpack.See you later" Inuyasha says as he starts to leave, still looking at Kagome for a reply.
"Okay. Later." she says as she wavesKagome then turned her attention to unpacking. She first set her bags at the end of her bed and took out her pillows and blankets and setting them on the bed. After, Kagome took all of her clothes and went to the closet to hang them up. After 10 minutesKagome heard giggling and immediately turned to see Sesshoumaru standing there. Kagome turned beat red, she was holding a pair of her underwear in her hands and quickly put them in the drawer.
"I was just coming to see our little secret keeper and see how she was doing. I'm happy I did." Roy says with a laugh. That made her mad.
"What's that suppose to mean?!" Kagome says as she walked up to him and poked him in the chest.
"Nothing. I just got a laugh of what I saw." Sesshoumaru says as he turns his head and lifts up his hands about shoulder height.
"HAHAHAHA! I also wanted to tell you that dinner is ready if you'rehungrySesshoumaru says and turned, still laughing.
"Ill kill you, Sesshoumaru if you tell anyone! I promise you that!" Kagome says fuming. After Sesshoumaru left, she quickly throw the rest of her underwear in the drawer and head down. Still a little red in the face.
Once Kagome got downstairs, she sees Sesshoumarustill with a smirk on his face), Haji, Inuyasha, and who she guessed was Yuki, who was reading a book.
'Looks like Inuyasha was right about him being a book-worm.' Kagome thought as she headed down the last few steps.
"Come on. Diners ready, Kagome. Oh, and welcome to the family." said Haji as he headed to where she guessed was the dining room.
"You probably already guess but that guy there reading is YukiHaji says as he points to him. Yuki had just finished setting down the book and had placed a black feather on the spot he was at.
"Hello. It is a pleasure to meet you, Kagome. I have heard many things about you." Yuki said in a graceful voice as he bows and kisses her hand. He was very formal like he was still in the 18th centuryKagome didn't mind at all but the kiss on the hand had made her blush a little more then she already was.
"It is a pleasure to meet you too, YukiKagome say as he lets go of her hand as she was still blushing.
When Kagome sat down to eatshe saw that she was having grilled salmon, corn, and mash potatoes, etc. When she took a bite it was outstanding.
"Is everything here incredible?" Kagome says with a little laugh.
"Ya, pretty much." Inuyasha says as he finishes a bite of the salmon.
Out of the corner of her eyeKagome saw that his salmon was raw,Haji had what she knew must have been a glass of blood. The rest of the guys looked like they were eating the same thing she was. After dinner the waiter brought her a glass of sherbether favorite dessert.
"Wow! How did you know it was my favorite?" Kagome said looking stunned
"I took a look in the freezer to see if I saw anything that might had been one of your favorites and I saw the 2 buckets of sherbet." Inuyasha said with a smile as the waiter handed him some sort of shake, Haji, another glass of blood, Sesshoumaru, a bowl of Mint Ice Cream, and Yuki, a bowl of BlackCherry IceCream.
When Kagome finished eating, she headed back to her room to finish unpacking and this time she was going to close the door. As Kagome headed up the stairs, Yuki tapped Kagome on the shoulder. "Here, it's a welcoming present." he says as he hands her a special addition manga book Kagome REALLY wanted and needed.
"Oh! Wow! Thank you so much, Yuki!" Kagome says giving him an involuntary hug. "Oh, um...sorry." Kagome says jumping down. Yuki was very tall. He seemed like he was about 18.
"No, its alright." he said in his gentle voice with a perfect smile.Kagome started to blush again.
"Um, how did you know that I wanted this?" Kagome says holding out the book.
"I just took a peek at your collection when you arrived. My ability is shadow. So before diner, I went to the book store to get what I saw was your biggest collections next volume you needed." He said with his smile.
"Well, thanks, YukiKagome says blushing again. She was tired of blushing now.
"Any time, Kagome." he said with his smile.
'Now he's just torturing meKagome thought as she smiled at him and headed up to her room to finish unpacking.
'Why did I have to moving with a bunch of boys that can easily make me blush? The last time I blushed was when I was 13 and Saya-san completely embarrassed me.' Kagome thought with a little laugh at the memory.
Once Kagome was in her roomshe shut the door and headed to the closet and finished putting away her cloths which took Kagome about 5 minutes. When shewas doneshe took all of her toiletries to the bathroom she found on the other side of the bed which was big. It was all made of black marble and the tube was big enough to be a hot tub. The knobs looked like black diamonds but she knew that they were fake from the way they sparkled in the light.
"This place couldn't get any more amazing." Kagome says as she put everything a way to where she wanted them to go. Kagome put her hair brush and skirts in the vanity after.
"There all done. Oh, my books!" Kagome said as she went to get them and put them in the book shelf in alphabetical order and by volume number (first vol.-last or whatnot). "Now I'm done." Kagome said putting her new book in its place.
When Kagome was done, she took a look at it but something was missing. "MY BOOMBOX!!" she yelledAs she rushed down stairs with her sweater the guys look at Kagome with confusion.
"Ill be back!" was all she said before shutting the door behind her.
Kagome ran, she didn't want to be gone for to long and plus the sun was starting to set.
"I got to hurry!" she huffed.
Kagome ran so much thatshe couldn't run any more, and stopped to take a break. Then Kagome heard a rustle in the grass. That put her on guard. Kagome looked all around her and found the spot the person was. He was just standing there leaning up against a tree staring at her.
"Hay you! What do you want?" she yelled at him.
He then got up and started to walk towards Kagome and she noticed that his eyes were a glowing amber. Kagome remembered that the Chamara's eyes that killed Saya-san were the same color and Kagome started to panic a little but she reminded herself to keep cool.
"What I want? Well, let me think." he said as he came out of the shadows. He looked human so Kagome didn't think that he was Chamara. Kagome was now a little calmer. He walked up to her and got so close that she could easily land a punch but for some reason she couldn't move. Kagome tried to say something but she couldn't even speak! Now Kagome was scared and he seem to tell which gave him pleasure.
"I love that look in your eyes. I can tell that you discovered my spell, Kagome Higurashi." He said with a smirk as he stroke her face.
'How does he know me?' was all she thought when he said that.When he stroked her faceKagome saw that his eyes resembled that of a snake and figured that he had to have been a snake type Chamara. When he stopped stroking her face, Kagome fell to the ground. Kagome felt like she had no energy in her to stand.
'It has to be his eyes. It's got to be!' she thought when she fell and noticed Kagome couldn't stop looking in his eyes no matter what.
"Now that I've got you, maybe we can get your friends to come, Kagome." He said as he bent over to say it enjoying the fear in her eyes. Then he picked her up and flung her over his shoulder.
"Ill leave them a little gift to let them know you're coming over." The Chamara said once they were at the door step quick as a flash. He then took her hand and a knife a sliced it open letting the blood drip on the door way."There, that's a good enough hint don't you think, Kagome. Aww, are you mad at me. That's not very nice. I'm inviting you over, you need to be more generous." He said squeezingher hand letting more blood flow.
Kagome gave him the maddest look she had in a while. At that, he looked into her eyes and then the next thing she noticedshe was unconsciousWhen she woke upKagome could move again but she still couldn't speak. Kagome was in an unfamiliar room that only had a bed. She rushed over to the door and started to bang on it. IT was no use, it was locked and she heard no one coming so Kagome just went over to the bed and sat down.
'What is he going to do to the guys? Ugh! I should've wait till morning or brought one of the guys with me.' She thought sulking.
"You look cute like that, KagomeEyes full of fear and misery. I love it." The Chamara said. "I've been thinking and I thought since I know your name Ill give you mine. I'm Alucard." The Chamara hissed.
"Oh how I loath you. Go crawl in a hole like the snake you are and die in hell."Kagome said getting up and glaring at him.
"You've pissed me off enough. Now I'm going to pound you in the ground."Kagome said clenching her fist at swinging it at him. He easily dodged it.
"That wasn't nice, KagomeYou're starting to get me mad." He said as he grabbed her throat.
"Put her down Alucard
Kagome recognized that voice. It was Sesshoumaru and he sounded pissed. Haji, Inuyasha, and Yuki were with him as well and all of them looked pissed.
"Will ya look at that Kagome. My little plan worked. Now, I can kill you all for what you did to my friend." Alucard said as he dropped herKagome gasped for air and Yuki showed up right next to Kagome picking her up and then the next thing she noticed, she was next to the others.
Yuki held her close so she wouldn't have to seeKagome's throat still hurt from when Alucard was choking her. As she held her throat, she could hear Sesshoumaru swearing at Alucard
"Damn you Chamara!! Ill kill you for ever hurting KagomeSesshoumaru said with so much anger.
"I had so much fun with her. You should've seen her face when she saw me and fell under my spell. The sweet smell of her blood dripping was wonderful as well and the pain on her face..." Alucard said looking at herKagome quickly looked away and grabbed her hand remembering when he cut it."ILL KILL YOU!!!!" Sesshoumaru quickly and angrily said turning into a leopard and attacking AlucardAlucard quickly dodged and turned into his true self. Stomach down he was snake and up he was human. He was a very deep green and black even his human self was. His eyes stayed to same and they sent shivers down Kagome's spine, so she had to look away
Alucard saw Kagome looking away and quickly starting to go to her with a snifter smile on his face. Luckily Yuki saw this and turned into a shadow as well as Kagome which made Alucard go through both of them.
Inuyasha saw this and turned into his were-wolf self. He was different from the ones Kagome saw on TV. He didn't have the face of a dog or was all hairy. He did have the hind legs of a dog and long claws, his face was the same as well. Kagome was stunnedHaji even joined in the fight.
"Come on, let's go. I don't want you to see nor get hurt any more." Yuki said as he turnedboth of you into a shadow and appeared in the house.
'No! They need me! I have to help' she thought. Kagome wanted to say this so bad but she still wasn't able to speak but she did fight to get to the door and find them. As she was about 2 feet away from the doorshe collapsed. Kagome felt so much pain in her body, like she was on fire.
Kagome!! Are you alright?! Speak to me!" Yuki said as he came to her side.
KAGOME! Kagome! kagome" This was all she heard before she had blacked out.
When Kagome woke upshe was in her room with a towel on her forehead.
Wha-what happened?' she thought as she tried to get up but her chest hurt like there was a knife jabbed into in so she laid back down. Kagome felt cold yet so hot. Then the door opened and Yuki came in with a tray of medicine and water.
"Ah, so you're awake? I found out what happened to you, you're poisoned. The Chamara had to have done it, he is a snake type. Their capable of casting spells and if their part poisonous then, well, they can be deadly." he said as he took of the old towel off and set a new one on.
"Here you need to take this, it may taste bad but it will help." Yuki said as he handed her the small cup of medicine. Kagome took it with out delay. She didn't want the guys to worry about her and she wanted to help them. Yuki was right about the medicine tasting bad, it was horrible but Kagome still took it then quickly grabbed the glass of water, chugging it down. Yuki chuckled.
"Your probably wondering what makes it taste so bad. It is made up of different herbs and extracts." he said handing Kagome another glass which she quickly took.
"I informed the others about you. Their not doing so good in the fight. Sesshoumaru has many cuts and gouges, Haji is badly bruised, and Inuyasha has a broken wrist. Don't worry about them, when they have a goal they do what ever it takes to achieve it." he said seeing the look on her face.
"You need to rest and try to relax so the poison doesn't spread." He says as he pushes the covers up. Kagome nodded and tries to sleep. Thirty-minutes had past and Kagome couldn't go to sleep, soshe got up, knowing sheshouldn't, and got her new book. When she was walking if felt like shewas walking on needles. Kagome braced the pain and grabbed the book and then got back in bed. As she read, shecouldn't stop thinking about the others fighting Alucard. As time pastshe fell asleep.at the fight"HAHAHAHAHA! Wonderful! Ill let you know that if you never came she would be dead right now! She even might be breathing her last few breaths." Alucard laughed.
"Damn you Chamara! What'd you do to her?!" Inuyasha said enraged.
Oh, nothing to bad, all I did was poison her." Alucard smiled pleased with him self. "It is a sham though. Her face was so beautiful, especially with fear in them."
"Ill kill you Chamara!!" Sesshoumaru yelled.The guy werefurious with the Chamara. All of them were wounded and tired.
KagomeKagome...Kagome wake up!" Kagomerecognized the voice to be Haji'sKagome fluttered her eyes open trying to wake up.
HmmmHajishe said. Kagome then coughherself in surprise. 'I-I can talk again!' Kagome thought as she touchedher throat.
"How do you feel? Do still feel like you're in pain?" Inuyasha said touching herforehead for a fever.
"No! I feel better then ever. What happened?" Kagome asked.
Don't worry the Chamara is dead. Don't ask for details, you should come down and eat. You have been out for 3 days." Sesshoumaru said as he headed down.
"Wow! 3 days?" Kagome said to herself as she hopped out of bed. As she went downstairsKagome got a glimpse of every one and they all had bandages and wraps all over. Inuyasha had a sling for his broken wrist. As she sat down, Kagome got a feeling that all of this was her fault.
I'm sorry, guys. If I never left to get my boom box then none of you would be hurt." Kagome said as the waiter set down a plate of Belgiumwaffles
Don't worry about it, Kagome. It was going to happen sooner or later." Yuki said cutting his plate of waffles.
"I guess your right. I won't worry about it any more." Kagome said as she took a bite of the waffles. After shewas doneshe had 3 platesfull. As she got up from the tableKagome ran to her room. Kagome had wanted to think of a way to thank them and after an hour or so of thinkingKagomedecided that she would make lunch with Saya-san's ramen recipe.
As lunch came around, Haji found Kagome in the kitchen.
"What are you doing?" He said sounding shocked.
"You'll see when it's ready." Kagome said giving him a smile that confused him.
"Alright if you say so." he said as he went in the other direction.
Don't go too farit's really close to being done!" Kagome yelled back as she added the last of the spices.
When it was done, Kagome set it out on the table and yelled to everyone that it was ready. As they all sat down and ateKagome got lots of comments.
"Alright!" Inuyasha said once he saw it.
"Oh wow! It'sdeliciousKagome." Yuki said after chewing.
"Uhuh!" Haji said still chewing.
Sesshoumaru just nodded for he was digging in.
"Thanks. It was Saya-san's recipe and I thought that I would use it to thank you guys for everything." Kagome said as she watched everyone eat.
Aren't you going to eat?" Yuki asked as he saw Kagomewasn't going to sit down."Oh no, I'm still full from breakfast Kagome said with a smile
After lunch the guys took her a side.Kagome, we have something for you. This way you can protect your self and at times help." Inuyashasaid handing her a long package. As Kagome opened itshe saw that it was a long Kanata. The sheath was decorated like it was covered in silver vines; the background was a dark black. When she took out the blade it was decorated with a dragon on it and ancientJapanesewriting
"Wow, it's beautiful. Thank you so much you guys, I love it." Kagome said as she put the blade back in the sheath and held it close with a smile.
"Your welcome, Kagome." said Yuki
"Now let's go." Sesshoumaru said as he headed to the back door.
"Where to?" Kagome said
"To train of course." he said holding out his own sword.
"Alright!"Kagome said holding up her sword with excitementWhen she got out in the backyardKagome quickly got in her ready position.
"Ah, so you know some swordsmanship, do ya?" Sesshoumaru said getting in his ready position.
"Remember, I am a former Yankee." Kagome said with a smirk.
"True, but you never took on me or a Chamara." he said with a proud smile.
"I may be your opponent today but later on you will be fighting Chamaras. So, if you can beat me then you can take on a Chamara."
"Is that so?" Kagome said as she push out about an inch of the blade ready to attack.
As Sesshoumaru took the first attackKagome found out he was much stronger then she thought and it took her by surprise. After fighting for an hour or more, she lost.
"Wow...you're better...then I thought." Kagome said out of breath.
"Told ya."Sesshoumaru said sounding pleased with him self.
"You need more practiceYou're off balance, try to bend your legs a little more. You need to be swifter; Chamaras are fast and can dodge things really easily." He said showing Kagome what she had to do.
"Kay! I think I got it! Now let's go!" Kagome said as she swung at him.Kagome noticed that he was right and having better balance help out a lot
"Now that's what I'm talking about! Now try to add more speed and swiftness to it." he added
"How? This is the best I'm doing!"Kagome said still swinging at him
"Umm...here let me put it like this. Pretend that your blade is riding the wind. Put more, um, as you girls put it, more grace?" He said confused how to put it.
"Ok, now let me...see!" Kagome said as she got what he meant
That's what I mean! You got it." He said as they both fought evenly.
"She sure has advanced." Yuki said coming to see.
"Ya, I guess you could put it like that but I think she needs to practice more. Kagomethat's enough for today." Sesshoumaru said as he lowers his sword.
"Go and polish Ryuuken." Kagome looked at him with confusion.
That's the name of your sword. You should remember it." He said as he walked off.
"Ryuuken...Dragon Blade" Kagome whispered only allowing herself to hear.
As Kagomepolished Ryuuken in her room it made a faint sound like silver chimes. As she listened to her swordInuyasha walked in the door knock before entering all of the way.
"Got something for ya."Inuyasha said holding up a stereo box.
I went to your house but yours was already gone but I grabbed your CDs. So, here ya are." he said handing Kagome her new gift. Kagome took it out of the box, it was black with silver. It was tall and rectangular with the speaker on the sides. It even came with a remote.
"Thanksa lot InuyashaKagome said with a smile. She had the perfect spot to put it, right on her book shelf and with the remote next to her on her side-table near her bed.
It's no problem. It's from all of us by the way. We didn't want you to suffer with out your music." He said as he left.
"Will you thank them for me?" Kagome call out to him.
"Ok" he yelled back.
As Kagome put in Evanescence and turned it up, she got back to polishing Ryuuken. Shewas so happy to be here that she felt it to be unreal.After about 20 minutes of polishingKagome put Ryuuken in its sheath and leaned it against her vanity, then headed down stairs. Kagome wanted to go out and buy something for each of they guys. She felt bad, they were doing so many things for her that she started to feel a little guilty. Once she got down with hoody in handKagome asked if anyone wanted to go.
"Um, I was planning to go out today. Did anyone want to go?" Kagome said as she slipped her hoody on.
"Ill go. I had plans of stopping somewhere any way." Haji said as he got up.
"Be sure to keep an eye out, Haji. We don't want what happened last time." Inuyasha said.
"Ya, ya.Don't worry about it." Ty said aggravated
As they left he picked her up.
You're too slow. This way is faster." he said as he started to run but it didn't even feel like he was even running but gliding. Before Kagome knew itthey were at the edge of the forest.
"So where did you want to go?" Haji said.
It's a surprise." Kagome said winking at him. All he did was look at her with confusion then followed her to a shop full of knick-knacks, swords, and a whole bunch of other stuff.
"Can you wait here? Ill whistleif I need your help." Kagome said.
"Fine." was all Haji said.
As she looked, Kagome thought about what to get HajiShe already knew what she was going to get Yuki and Sesshoumaru but the other two shedidn't know.
"This is going to be harder then I thought." Kagome said as she looked.
"Maybe he'll want a pendant? Hmm, what do you get a vampire? I can just ask him. Oh! Ill just call the others." Kagome said as she took out her cell phone and dialed the number.
"Hello?" It was Inuyasha
"Hay, Inuyasha. What do you thinkHaji would want as a gift?" Kagome asked.
"Well, he does like crosses, I know that much." he said.
"Ok, that'll do. Thanks. Later."
"Umm...Later."
Kagome quickly took off in a section that had a bunch of crosses and pendants and found the perfect one. It was black with roses around it.
Umm...I'd like to buy that cross." Kagome said pointing to it.
"Ok here ya go, Hun." the clerk said handing Kagome her gift.
"Thanks." she replied. Then Kagomesped off to the swords and found Sesshoumaru a jar of the perfect sword cleaner. After getting thatshe ran to the books and grabbed a novel for Yuki about a Raven. Kagome picked this because he seemed interested about them, so she thought this would be perfect.
"Ok, I have Haji'sYuki's, and Sesshoumaru's. Now for Inuyasha. I think I know what to get him." As Kagome dashed off she got him a CDshe saw him looking at when he gave Kagomeher stereo. FinallyKagome went to check it out.
"That'll be $36.52." The clerk said. Kagome handed her her money then dashed out to Haji who was waiting at the entrance
"Done already? Don't girls usually take longer?" he asked folding his arms.
You'reforgetting that I'm not like all girls." Kagome said glaring at him. Out of the corner of her eyeKagome saw a bunch of girls looking atHaji. "Do you even notice them?"
"Ya, I'm use to it. So let's go to the place I need to go now. It's this way." he replied
As Kagome followed himshe saw all of the girls staring and whispering.
"Do you seriously get this all of the time? It doesn't bother you a bit?" she asked
"Sometimes but not right now. Sometimes I even get asked out. It's a funny sight." He laughed.
"Here we are. Ill be a minute." he said as he headed in the door way.
"Alright!"Kagome yelled back at him. "What's Ty doing at the hospital? Getting blood?" Kagome asked herself as she looked at the sign.At that moment Haji darted through the door.
"Where has he gone this time?" he said as he came out.
"Who Haji Maybe I can help."
"This boy, he has blonde hair and is 13 years old. We need to find him Kagome. He has leukemia and he has a high chance of dying. We have to find him!" Haji said with concern.
"Alright. Ill head to the park. Meet me at the fountain in 20 minutes." Kagome said as she turned and headed to the park.
Kagome had asked many people on her way there if they saw the boy but no luck. When she got to the park it was empty.
"Darn! I guess Ill go meet Haji at the fountain, I guess." Kagome said as she started to head beck. Then, out of the corner of her eyeshe saw a boy who was walking away. He seemed to be weak so she figured that it had to be him.
"Hey you, boy! Wait a minute!" Kagome said as she ran after him. Once he saw her, he had started to run. Kagome finally caught up with him when he collapsed.
"You know...you shouldn't run like that...if your sick, kid...You need to come back to the hospital with me. Their really worried... about you. Oh, and Haji is too."Kagome said as she caught her breathe
"NO! Ill never go back to that place!" the boy said with anger. This shocked Kagome
"Why don't you tell me why you're running away? If its a good reason for me then Ill help you run, but if not, Ill just have to drag you back." she said with a grin.
"NOWAY! You'll just drag me back no matter what!"
"Hey! Just listen to me. One time when I got sick I also ran away from the hospital. I also use to be a Yankee so I'm sure Ill know if whether or not you should go back. So why not tell me?" Kagome said as she sat down next to him.
"Fine. I'm tired of them trying to help. Tired of all of the medicine, IVs, blood transfusions, everything. They don't get it that I'm ready to die and-" he said as Kagome cut him off.
"Okay, okay. I see your point now. Come on. I'm going to haveHaji help and don't worry I wont let him take you backKagome said holding out a hand.
"Okay. Thanks.The boy said taking her hand.
"No problem. I'm Kagome HigurashiWhat's your name? I would like to know before... well." Kagome stopped right there, she didn't like talking about death.
I'm Sasuke Uchiha. I know my name means Prolong Life. My parents did it on purpose hoping that it might help." He said looking ashamed.
"Hey, you shouldn't be ashamed about your name. I think it'spretty cool. My mom just named me after a firefly." Kagome said with a giggle hoping it would help.
"Now let's go findHaji. I told him I would meet him at the fountain. Here hop in my back. Ill carry you, you don't look like you could walk."Kagome said as she helped him up.
When they got at the fountainHaji insisted in taking him back to the hospital and they both argued.
"He needs to go back! His procedures are almost done with!" Haji yelled
"I don't careHaji! If he wants doesn't want to go backI'm going to force him to go! Come onHaji, can't you see he's sick of all of thisKagome yelled back and placingherself between Haji and Sasuke
Haji, I just want to die in peace. I don't want this any more. I know I'm going to die very soon. I saw an angel last night and she told me I would. Haji, please just let me die." Sasuke said cutting into their fight.
"Fine! But we need to take you away from here; there are others that are looking for you." Haji said as he was looking around.
"Thank you, HajiSasuke said with a smile.
"Alright! But where should we go? Aren't people looking everywhere?" Kagome said with a now-what expression.
Don't worry about it. I know where we can go. I go there all of the time and no one seems to find me. I was on my way there when you found me KagomeSasuke said as he started to head off back towards the park.
As Haji, Sasuke, and Kagome were back at the spot were KagomecaughtSasuke, he turned around with a serious look.
"Ok, now promise that you won't tell anyone about this place. Well, at least untilI've passed on. This is the spot where I want to lay to rest, if you get what I'm saying?"
Don't worrySasuke, I swearIt's your dying wish and I will respect it." Kagome said as she bowed in respect.
Sasuke, just tell me one thing. Are you sure about this?" Haji said with folded arms.
I'm positive."
"Alright. I promise as well."
Sasuke then turned and headed into a bush, Kagome and Haji followed. After all of the bushes, Kagome was looking at a field full of wild flowers and a cherry blossom tree.
Beautiful, isn't it? I found it one day when I ran away. I can't help but feel so relaxed and content. I can accept everything here." Sasuke said as he stretched out his arms and let the wind blow.
Sasuke...never mind." When Kagome had heard what he saidshecouldn't help get the feeling that he wasn't ready to except death and that is why he came here.
"What is it, Kagome? You can tell me." Sasuke said turning to her
"I know you said you were ready, but are you truly?" Kagome said with concern.
Sasuke just looked down at the ground with what looked like sadness in his eyes.
"No, not really but I know that I am going to die. I'm just tired of everyone doing stuff for me when it's just going to be for nothing." he said still looking down.
Sasuke, do you really think it's for nothing? So many people are learning from stuff they do. They try new things and then they can try them on other people so they can get better. Um...I don't know if you see what I'm saying." Kagome said as she sat down on the grass.
"She has a point, SasukeHaji said as he leaned up against the cherry tree.
"I do see what you mean. I guess you're right if it means that someone else can live another day." Sasuke said as he turned and started to head back the way Kagome came.
"Come on. I decided that I'm going back."
SasukeKagome just looked at him with surprise. Soon they all headed back at the hospital with Sasuke in his bed.
"Thanks, KagomeI'm glade you told me what I needed to hear." Sasuke said as a nurse was giving him some medicine through his IV.
"No problem. I just couldn't let you die with regrets and I also be came fond of you." Kagome said with a smile.
"Ya, me too. Haji, I also have you to thank. You have always been there for me and I thank you for it." Sasuke said as the nurse finished.
"No problem, kid. You were my sisters-" Haji said, thenhesaw that you were still in the room.
Haji, I never knew you had a sister? What happened to her?" Kagome asked.
"She died a long time ago." Haji said as he walked off with a sad expression.
Haji
Don't feel bad, Kagome. He just doesn't like to talk about May much. I was the only friend she had when she came to the hospital. She had the same thing I have and died from it. She was only 7. Ever since her death, Haji comes and sees me, but he always seems so sad. Oh, you better head home, it's almost 7 o'clock. Will you come see me tomorrow, Kagome?" Sasuke asked.
"Oh, of course!" Kagome replied with a promise.
When Kagome and Haji walked home there was nothing but silence. As they reached the houseKagome dashed to the door and turned to face Haji
"Now, I want you to go sit in the living room. I have something for ya." Kagome said with a smile hoping it would make him feel better.
Kagome quickly dashed inside and told everyone the same and with in a few minutes everyone was sitting. Kagome gave everyone their gifts and told Haji to open his first.
"A cross. How did you know I liked them? I love it, Kagome. Thank you very much." Haji said as he placed it around his neck.
"I had help from, InuyashaI'm really glade you like it." Kagome said with a smile.
"OkayInuyasha, you next."
He quickly rushed threw the wrapping and found the CD.
"How did you know?" He asked as he quickly put it in his CD player that was laying on the side table.
"You can't fool me. I saw you looking at mine." Kagome said.
Sesshoumaru, You next."Kagome said when you saw that he couldn't wait. He ripped of the rapping with a quick swipe.
"Alright! I needed more. Thanks, Kagome!" He said as he took out his sword and started to use it.
"No problem. Ok Yuki, you can open it now." Kagome laughed at Sesshoumaru
He took his time unwrapping it but yet he didn't. Then a smile came across his face when he saw the book.
"Wow, Kagome. You have my deepest thanks. I love it. Cant wait to read it either." he said opening to the first page.
"Your welcome." Kagome said with a smile, happy to see everyone like their gifts.
Kagome, why did you do this?" Inuyasha asked as he pulled out one of his headphones to hear her reply.
"Well, you guys have done so much for me. I felt guilty and had to do something to repay all of you." Kagome said. After diner and dessertKagome went up stairs to bed.
"Today was so tiring. I can't wait for tomorrow." Kagome said as she started to change into her pajamas.
Kagome, I-" Inuyasha said as he open the door to find heronly in herunderwear and bra.
"AHHHHHH!!!!" Kagome screamed as she grabbed a blanket to cover up.
"OHMYGOD! I'm so sorry!" he said as he quickly shut the door.
