'Till Death Do Us Part
Disclaimer: I do not own any characters from Inuyasha or Yu YU Hakusho placed in this story.
It was a regular, nothin' special night on the job. The Spirit World was in panic, and everybody, especially Ogre, working overtime. Yusuke was stuck on a date with Kaiko (the lucky little devil) and me, well, I wasn't doing anything productive. No one had died, anyways.
Koenma was wetting his diapers over his father's yearly inspection of the Spirit World's condition. This included Hie and Kurama getting the week off. Koenma's excuse was that after the artifact incident, he didn't want another spanking for keeping them around. Of coarse, we all know that he really just doesn't want Hie blabbing about all the mistakes he's made since last year's inspection.
Then, the ambulance sirens flared up, and I sighed with the relief of knowing I wouldn't return empty handed tonight. Following the flashing red lights through the streets of Tokyo, I came upon a large crowd of mortals, gossiping and gasping over what was apparently a suicide attempt.
"She's only a teenager, the poor dear. She had her whole life ahead of her," one woman whispered to her husband.
'Oh boy,' I thought ', another young one. Cant kids just be happy with their lives?'
"Let us through!"
I whirled around to see three high school girls in their green uniforms pushing their way through the crowd.
"She's our friend, let us through!"
People instantly pulled back and the three ran strait up to the body, ignoring the police's shouts of disapproval. After several minutes, one of them strutted toward a policeman and began to answer questions.
"Her name is Kagome Higorashi, she is almost 16, and lives at Higorashi Shrine with her mom, brother, and grandfather."
"Any idea as to why she killed herself?"
"None, although she has been very sick for the past year."
"Thank you for your cooperation, miss," and he walked off, leaving her deep in thought.
Several Hours Later
"This is impossible!" I screamed, knowing no one would hear me.
"I've been looking for that stupid girl for hours! Where the hell could she be? She's dead, for crying out loud!"
Yeah, I tend to get a little cranky when I'm up late. Who could blame me? Koenma would be REALLY upset if I didn't return to Spirit World soon.
And then I heard it...
"Damn it, Inuyasha! Even in death, you don't give a shit about me!"
I followed her screams into a well house, where she sat at the edge of a very old well, cursing into the dark bottom. She almost looked like she expected something to happen down there.
Becoming very aware of the hour, I quickly glided over the well, right into her gaze.
"Hi! I'm Boton! Nice ta meet cha! Now, if you'll be so kind as to follow me, I'll..." But she looked down with empty eyes, not hearing a word I said. So, in a desperate attempt to get going, I yanked her off the well, and a bright light immediately engulfed the room. Blinded, I released her hand, and watched as about twenty glowing orbs descended into the well from her form. Ending as quickly as it had begun, the light vanished. What I was left with was something I had only ever heard of in the stories of previous spirit guides.
A soulless spirit.
Yay! My first story! Sorry about the short chappie, but I badly need to improve my typing speed. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Please review!! Thnx!
