Disease

Chapter One

Kagome looked around frantically for something that she could use as a weapon. 'Ahh… weapons? What weapons? What about a golf club? No. No one plays golf in this house! Ahh!!' Kagome ran down into the kitchen and set her eyes on the set of knives on the counter.

She mentally slapped her forehead. 'Duh!'

Kagome took two knives and stuffed them into her bag, making sure they're surrounded by the other items in there so they wouldn't stab her. She zippered the bag and swung it over her shoulder.

She knew she couldn't stay. If she did, she would, for sure, be infected. What infection, you ask? Kagome's grandfather just recently caught an illness and no one knew how or why. No one even knew what the illness was. His skin turned into a pale shade of violet that scared Kagome.

He was hardly ever conscious and after the third day of catching the illness, he grew scales. A few hours after this happened, he shot out of bed, bit both Souta and her mother in the neck, and then fell unconscious again. Kagome's mother and Souta's eyes turned red and slipped out of consciousness as well.

Kagome sighed, thinking about what happened fifteen minutes ago. She knew other people in the community also had this strange and frightening illness. There is only a handful who are not infected by the illness.

She opened the refrigerator to find it empty. She sighed and closed it. Kagome walked out of the house, a few tears fell down her face. She took a final look at the shrine and walked towards the nearest 7/11.

A scream was heard coming from a 7/11 as a girl jumped back, barely dodging the clawed hand of a youkai. "Wh-what do you want?" The girl asked the demon kept swiping at her, missing every time thanks to the counter blocking it's path.

It tried to claw at her again, missing her arm. It snarled, its drool dripping onto the counter. The youkai smashed its fist onto the counter, breaking it into three. It smirked at her shaking form and extended it claws, ready to attack.

"Hey!! Dumb-assed youkai-head guy!!" Kagome shouted, barging through the doors of the 7/11. She grabbed random objects like lollipops and bags of chips and threw it at the youkai. It slowly turned to face her and growled. Kagome smirked triumphantly.

"Yeah!! That's right!! I'm right here!! Look at me, ugly!!" She winked at the girl behind the broken counter and watched as she made her way through the rubble while the youkai was distracted.

The brown-haired girl noticed the youkai advancing towards Kagome and quickly grabbed a gun she hid behind the counter. She fired at its head several times and watched as it fell to the floor, squirming.

"You bitches!!" It growled, getting off the floor. "I'll kill you!!"

Kagome screamed and waited for the impact as the youkai lunged at her. But it never came. No pain, no injury, no blood, and especially no death. She opened her eyes to see the youkai, on the floor, dead.

Kagome blanked out. "What-what the? Huh?" She stuttered, pointing to the dead youkai then at the7/11 employee. The brown-haired girl shook her head and pointed to the back of the room. Kagome looked the direction the girl pointed to see a boy with long, silver hair that was about her age, possibly a bit older, sitting in a corner cross-legged trying to shake the youkai's blood off his katana.

"Damn blood… stupid stench… stupid youkai…" He muttered to himself as he grabbed a water bottle from the freezer and poured it on the sword, washing off the blood. He sniffed the katana and gagged. "Ahh!! Still smells like shit…"

"Hey!!" The brunette employee shouted. "You have to pay for that water, y'know!!"

"Feh." The boy snorted. "You almost got killed; some random girl came to distract the damn youkai for you (who you should be thankful for), your store is trashed, I killed the youkai and saved your ass and you're worried about me stealing?"

The girl huffed and turned away.

Kagome was glad there are still people who are not infected. "Uhm… hey, I'm Kagome. What are your names?"

"Sango." The brunette girl replied.

Kagome turned to the silver-haired boy. "And you?"

The boy rolled his eyes. "What's the point?"

"C'mon!!" Kagome urged. "I need to at least know the name of my savior."

He groaned. "Inuyasha. Are you happy?"

Kagome nodded. "Mm-hmm! Welcome to party!"
