Chapter One
-x-x-x-
"When the world give's you the walking dead...practice your aim." ─Kagome
-x-x-x-
'The end of the world~' Kagome sighed, staring at the sight before her. It was horrible...all this in less than a day.
"Kagome!" Kagome turned to see her mother standing next to her, her hands on her hips and an angry look on her face. "What happened to your room! You just cleaned it!"
Kagome laughed lightly, "Sorry, I was trying to find the Shikon. When I was putting my stuff up, it got caught and fell off without my knowing. Sorry, I'll clean my room again."
"...alright," Her mother smiled, "Did you find the Shikon?"
Kagome held the jewel in her hands. It wasn't dormant or anything...no, no wish had been granted, and she didn't think she'd ever make a wish, so it just stayed on her person.
"Good, now...clean your room...again..." Her mother left and Souta peeked his head around the doorframe and smiled.
"Hey Souta," Kagome picked up a small pile of clothes and tossed them onto her bed before she started folding them. "What's up?"
"Are you going to ask mom if you and I can stay?"
"Mm, if I can find us a place to stay...yes."
He frowned, "Well, a girl's on the phone for you."
"Kay," She placed a bra on her bed and left Souta at her door before going to get the phone. Picking it up off the receiver, she took it off hold, "Hello, Kagome speaking."
"It's Saeko,"
'Saeko...? Ah~!' Kagome smiled, "Long time no hear, how've you been?"
"I've been well. My parent's are out of town for a few week's, I was wondering, would you be interested in staying over until they get back?"
"Yeah, let me just check with my mom. Oh! Could my brother stay with us?"
"Of course, Souta is always welcomed over here."
"Then I'll call you back later and give you a better response then."
"I'll be waiting to hear from you."
"Kay, bye~!"

Kagome ran into the kitchen and smiled an infectious smile. It had been months since she'd had any real reason to smile. "Mom?"
Kunloon turned and smiled from where she was doing the dishes. "Yes Kagome?"
"Saeko called," Kagome watched as her mother listened even more carefully, "Can me and Souta stay over at her place? We don't want to go to London, not yet at least. Can we?"
"Hmm, for how long, Kagome?"
"A few week's!"
"A few? How many is a few?"
"Um...maybe, four? Five?"
Kunloon sighed, "I'll think about it, give me an hour and I'll tell you my decision."
"Yes ma'am."
Kagome ran up to her room and quickly began cleaning her room. She looked at the Shikon and frowned, she didn't want to keep it with her forever. Looking around, she smiled and walked to her dresser. Taking a small ring box, she placed the petal pink orb inside and snapped the box shut. Then moving to her bed, she pushed it to the side, careful of leaving marks on the floor, she felt around for a loose floor board before pulling it up and slipping it beneath the fiberglass. Pushing a little bit of her energy into the box, she watched a small bubble barrier appear around the ring box. Removing her hold on the floor board, she watched it snap down before pulling her bed carefully back to where it was. Sitting down at her desk she sighed, 'When will the Shikon be needed in an era where the only demon's living are hiding away as human's, to co-exist together peacefully.'

It was only an hour later when her mother called her down stairs.
She was quick to get to her feet, moving past her open door, she practically jumped from the top of the staircase to the bottom. "Yes ma'am?"
"Sit down," She pointed to the seat across from her at the kitchen table. Kagome did and waited patiently and silently for her to continue. "For those...'few weeks'...you had better keep in contact with me. I'm not saying call me everyday, but keep in touch!" Her tone was laced in finality. "I will worry for my children if I'm not there, I think my request is a reasonable one. As well, look out for your brother, and make sure you take care of yourself. Bedtime, don't be staying out till all hours of the night, and no talking to strangers, and...be...safe." Her mother was fighting tears off at this point. "I love you both so much; if anything were to happen to you or your brother..." She smiled, "Now, you will both be transferring to different schools, right?"
"Yes ma'am,"
"I'm assuming Saeko will help you with that and getting you and Souta your school uniforms before the next school day?"
"Yes,"
"Then...you have my answer."
Kagome smiled, hugging her mother tightly, she took off upstairs, calling out to Souta to pack his bags.
-x-x-x-
Souta stared up at the large flight of stairs. It was life's cruel joke that the place he and his sister would be staying, was at another shrine. There were about twelve in the general city area, but the chances that they would be moving from one to another...was annoyingly slim, that actually moving into one seemed rather...controlled...
Kagome laughed, "Well, we are family..." She tightened her grip on her archery bag with her bow, quiver, arrows and tips. "Let's get going, I haven't seen Saeko since we were eleven."
"I barely remember her."
"You were eight, and always with your friends playing soccer."
He smiled, a soccer ball held tightly under his arm. "Now I'm fourteen, and still playing soccer with my friends. Not much has changed. I mean, you...you've really changed, but me...na,"
Kagome laughed, staring at the remaining steps. "You've changed Souta. You're more confident and sure about yourself than before. You're also a lot braver! Getting so scared of a well house," She smiled as he blushed.
"For good reason to!" He cried out.
"Oh," She waved his comment off, "You didn't know about the demon, you were afraid of the dark."
"Was not! I felt something was off about it! I knew something was wrong!"
She smiled, "Alright, alright; look, we're here." She pointed to the shrine like house. "Let's go say hi,"
"Mm,"
-x-x-x-
Saeko was sitting on the floor; her homework lay scattered on the short table in front of her when a knock came from her front door. Standing swiftly, she made her way to the door and smiled softly at the two who stood there before her. "Kagome, Souta, it's been so long."
"Yeah, how have you been?"
"Good, much better now that you are here; you as well Souta." Saeko smiled.
"It's nice to be here! Thanks for having us."
-x-x-x-
That's where it all began...our end...our worlds end...
It seemed, while asleep...our world had begun to tear apart, without us even being aware.
Kagome woke the next morning, stretching, yawning; she dressed in her new school uniform and brushed her hair before grabbing her bow and arrows. There were two sets of two types of arrows, the ones provided by the school...and then hers...mahogany wood with feathers of the Birds of Paradise near Kouga's lair back in the Feudal Era.
She walked out and smiled to see her brother dressed and ready for school too, soccer ball held under his arm. Saeko joined them a few moments later with her Bokken in hand. "Shall we?" She asked, grabbing her satchel.
"Yeah!" The two followed after Saeko, grabbing their own satchel's from the table on their way out.
-x-x-x-
Kagome walked along the streets with her brother and half sister and frowned at the funny feeling in the pit of her stomach. "Souta, do you have your cell phone?"
"Hm?" He checked his pocket and frowned, "No, I must have forgotten it on my bed."
Kagome sighed, taking her's, she tossed it to him. "If you need anything, Saeko's number is on speed dial number four."
"Right~!" He pocketed the phone.
They split at a four way road, Kagome and Saeko heading to the gated high school, Souta going a little ways down to the middle school.
'I feel...sick...' She glanced back in the direction Souta had headed, 'What is this...worry...this feeling of dread...' She side stepped a gentleman who almost tumbled into her. Watching him as he continued walking without a word; his slumped form, a bit of blood dripping from his hand where teeth marks were. 'What! Those...those are human teeth marks...' She shook her head and made her way inside as they began closing the gates. 'I've been living with Saeko for a few days...and I'm already letting myself get paranoid. I wish...I wish I could talk with Miroku...or Sango...'
She walked silently to class and sat down next to this nervous looking heavy set boy with glasses. Smiling, she held her hand out, "Hi,"
The boy jumped and stared curiously at her hand, "H-hi..." He took her hand in his.
"I'm Kagome Higurashi, I'm new here."
"Oh? I'm Kohta Hirano; it's nice to meet you, Kagome. Um...I may not be the right person to talk to if you want something like popularity." He blushed, taking his hand back.
"Well then, it's a good thing I don't want popularity...wouldn't you say? I am looking for friends though, and I have a good eye for them." She went back to pulling out her spiral notebook and a pen before waiting for class to start.
-x-x-x-
Kagome was sitting in her Archery Class, listening as her teacher, a very reasonable archer, not the greatest, told her how to get the best distance to an arrow. Now...when she'd first aimed, she readied herself, and fired, and her arrow had split the teachers in half...this obviously was insulting to the teacher who now spent every second she could by talking down to her and telling her everything she did wasn't right. Apparently...her arrow tip wasn't even right.
~Ding~
Kagome looked up as the announcements sounded.
This announcement is for all students. A violent incident is taking place in the school right now! All students must evacuate in accordance with their teachers' instructions! I repeat, a violent incident is taking place in the school right now! All students must evacuate according─AH! GAH! NO, NO, NOOOO~ AUGH! HELP ME! STOP IT! HELP! THAT HURTS! THAT HURTS! THAT HURTS! HELP ME! I-I'M GOING TO DIE!
Kagome watched everyone cautiously, knowing that after an announcement like that...there would be a riot for sure. She silently made her way to the back of the room, making her way out of their way. It didn't take long before screaming in the hallway drew the students in her class into frenzy. Their forceful pushing and yelling would call the attention of whoever just hurt the principal, and at the moment, she was curious as to who it was that did. She would head to the front office the second everything calmed down. She watched the room empty and sat down. 'I hope Souta's having a better day than I am.' She pulled on both her quivers and strung her bow effortlessly before glancing into the hall where students were pulling hair and punching other students to get them out of their way. 'I'll wait...till it's not so crazy...'
