I don't own anything from Inuyasha or from Twilight. Both have things that I enjoy and don't like, but I hope you enjoy my Fanfic.

Kagome sighed as she sat on a school bus, heading to see the house her father bought recently, her newest home. Not long after waking in the hospital, her mother had sent Kagome to live with her father, who she rarely saw. She still remember the first three days after waking; asking how she got in the hospital, wondering why her mother was crying so often, trying to understand what the doctor was saying to her and her family. As each day passed, her mother would tell Kagome the same thing; that she, Kagome, had been in a coma for two years, not traveling 500 years to the past.

After two weeks of being awake, Kagome's mother called up Serori, Kagome's father, and made him take custody of the young girl. Even Souta, her friends, and most of her classmates began to fear what she might do next, after she continued jumping down the Bone Eater's Well a few times a day, for four days.

To the day she left, no doctor could explain how Kagome woke from her coma as though she had only been sleeping a short time, when most would have some brain damage. Nor could any of the doctors explain Kagome's scars that appeared while she was sleeping; though Kagome tried.

As she waited for the bus to stop, Kagome used a nail to trace a scar on her right arm, 'Ginta… You really surprised us that day, but I'm grateful. By biting my arm you saved me. Thanks big brother…' Kagome smiled weakly as she climbed off the bus, glancing at a piece of paper with an address scribbled on one side. Glancing at the two story house in front of her, Kagome murmured, "I must have written down the wrong… Dad?"

Walking toward Kagome was a guy with shoulder length, black hair, "ah, you found the place. Come around back and I'll show you around." Before she could object, Serori turned and headed back down the driveway at the right of the house, "it doesn't look like much right now, but once we've had time to work on the place…"

Kagome grumbled, "It looks like a house from a horror movie, complete with 'dark aura'." 'Thank you, Miroku, for teaching me how to make and use Sacred Sutra Seals.'

"…a large backyard, but small compared to the Sunset Shrine grounds, I'm sure." Kagome stopped beside her father, "now, how about I show you the inside? Come on!" Serori grabbed Kagome's hand with a smile as he led her through the backdoor, "here's the kitchen. That doorway leads to the laundry room, which leads to the basement. In the basement is a door that leads outside and to the side of the house, opposite the driveway." Kagome glanced around nervously at the many spider webs in various spots, her hand still in her father's grasp, "through here is the dining room. Can't wait to get a table… Here's the living room and through that door will be my office."

'I need to get out of here… There's a demon nearby and if it senses my aura… If only I could fully conceal my aura like Sesshoumaru tried to show me,' Kagome nibbled on her bottom lip as she saw more webs.

Serori then led Kagome back through the dining room and into the hall to the left, "here's the bathroom, and now for upstairs."

Kagome barely listened as her father spoke his claim on the first bedroom to the right of the stairs, while her bedroom was the last door on the left, after a spare bedroom and bathroom. Across from her room was a second spare bedroom with a hall closet to the left of that room. Serori and Kagome had their own bathrooms, while each bedroom had a closet. Once in Kagome's room, Serori released her hand and glanced around as he spoke of the different things they would need for their new home.

'Why did it have to be a spider?!' Kagome took a step toward the door, 'I have to get out of here!' As she saw a small spider appear at the top of the webbing in a nearby corner, Kagome took a second step back, only to lean forward and grab her father's hand before running from the house, 'they know I'm here now.'

Once back outside, Kagome released Serori's hand as he spoke, "why did you run like that? You know your body is still recovering. Are you alright?"

Kagome looked up at a window of her new room, seeing a large black spider on the bottom glass pane, "spiders… Couldn't you have chosen a different house?"

"This was the best deal I could find," Serori replied gently, "now come back inside and…"

"No! I can't go back in there," Kagome slowly shook her head with wide wyes, "I can't, they'll kill me!" Kagome gripped her backpack as she took off running down the driveway, ignoring her father as he called out to her. She easily dodged an officer and a girl her age as they walked toward the dreary house.

Serori ran to the front of the house, "Kagome! Come back so you don't…" He stopped as he noticed the pair his daughter dodged, "and there she goes."

"Is there a problem?" asked the officer.

Serori sighed softly, "My daughter doesn't like the house. Oh, I must apologize for the rudeness. I'm Serori Hogosha and the one that ran past is my daughter, Kagome"

The officer smiled gently as he replied, "I'm Charlie Swan and this is my daughter, Bella."

Kagome slowed as she reached the corner of her 4th block away from her newest 'home', though she didn't stop until she was two more blocks away. Leaning against a light post, Kagome gasped for air as she hadn't ran much in just over two months. 'I need to start training again.' Kagome took a deep breath once more to ease her racing heart, 'I'll be able to go back to that house after I prepare some Sutra Seals.' Walking further down the sidewalk, she spotted a diner that she recognized and from there she headed to the small apartment the two were living in. Once inside the small living room, Kagome dropped her backpack on a small round table, "maybe I should explain more to Dad; about why spiders bother me so much…' "Then again, Mom probably told him my 'crazy story' when he came to get me."

Serori arrived an hour later, as Kagome was working on her homework. The two ate in silence that night, with Kagome going to bed early, Serori saying he would be leaving early to go work on the house. Around 3AM Kagome woke with a silent yelp, having been dreaming of one of the many fights against a Naraku-puppet. After trying to go back to sleep for over half an hour, Kagome silently climbed off the couch and dressed in the dark. Once she had her boots on, Kagome wrote a quick note, 'went for a jog, and left the apartment carrying a small bag that had been hidden in her backpack.

Kagome locked the door before she took off jogging to the street, where she turned toward the diner a few blocks away. Once at the diner, Kagome stopped to catch her breath as she glanced around, trying to decide the right path back to the dreary house. She finally figured out the right road and started jogging once more until the house came into view, "now or never." Kagome pouted lightly as she thought sadly, 'Inuyasha would be laughing at me right now if he saw me like this. The others would encourage me and promise they would be right beside me.' Kagome took a deep breath before walking up to the house, 'if only I had a staff, or even a dagger.' "Oh well, no use worrying now."

Reaching into the bag, Kagome pulled out several Sutra Seals that soon contained a portion of her Miko energy, 'here I go.' She grabbed a single Sutra and placed it at the closest corner of the house before grabbing another Sutra. Kagome continued until a Sutra Seal was at each corner, below each window on the first floor, and above each door. She then made her way around back and used her key to unlock the door. Jumping to the side as the door opened, Kagome watched as many spiders fled form the house; each the size of her hand or smaller. 'Thanks to Sango and Sesshoumaru, I learned to move in the dark.' Kagome smiled gently as she silently moved into the kitchen, where she let her eyes adjust before moving forward.

Starting in the bathroom of her father's room, Kagome then went to her father's closet before the actual bedroom. As she exited the bedroom, Kagome watched as several spiders scrambled either down the stairs or further down the hall. Next she went to the hall closet, then the spare room across from her own room, starting with the closet. It took nearly an hour for Kagome to put a Sutra Seal on each wall of each room on the twond floor, leaving the hall and stairway for last. Kagome had even opened each window to place a Sutra underneath the outside of each window. It took nearly half an hour for Kagome to place Sutra Seals in each room of the first floor, as well as the underside of the stairs; watching as the spiders fled from the rooms as she worked.

Kagome then made her way to the stairs that led to the basement, only ten Sutra Seals grasped in her left hand and the empty bag lying on the floor of the kitchen. Taking a deep breath to ease her pounding heart, Kagome slowly made her way down the wooden stairs, placing a Sutra on the wall to her right. Once she reached the floor, Kagome glanced around, seeing only the outline of a water heater in a corner to her left, shelves next to a table across the room from her, with a long box leaning against the table.

Biting back a gasp of surprise, Kagome watched as a large spider crawled out of a corner near the water heater, 'I knew this would happen!' Kagome shifted uneasily as the spider moved closer, being the size of a medium sized dog. Dodging as the spider rushed forward, the young Miko threw a Sutra at each wall and one at a nest under the table. She then dodged the spider once more before throwing two Sutra at its back, only to miss and hit two of the legs that sizzled as they were purified. The spider screeched in pain and anger, lunging at Kagome once again, who tripped on the odd box as she tried to move out of the way.

Kagome growled out in pain as she felt some venom drip onto her left leg. She quickly threw another Sutra at the spider before it could strike, hitting its chest as it reared up slightly. Glancing to her right, Kagome smirked as she picked up the simple staff that had fallen from the box. Quickly placing the last Sutra Seal on the bottom of the staff, Kagome jumped to her feet. Moving forward as she ignored her own pain, Kagome drove the staff into the spider. The oversized spider screeched in pain a moment before it was fully purified, turning to black dust.

Smiling in victory, Kagome used the staff to get back up the stairs, where she could see a faint glow in the sky from the rising sun, 'guess I'll just wait here for…' "Nani?"

Kagome quickly raised her right hand to shield her now squinting eyes as a flashlight was suddenly pointed at her face, "who are you and how did you get in?"

"I'm Kagome Hogosha; my father just bought this place recently."

The man sighed softly as he lowered his flashlight, "what are you doing here, and at such an odd hour?"

'I bet someone called,' Kagome sighed softly, "I hurt my dad yesterday and only wanted to make it up to him by getting here before him."

"Would you explain the screams?"

Kagome murmured a soft curse before replying, "I'm sorry. I must have sounded like I was being attacked, but I fell in the basement. I don't have much grace, you see, and when I fell, something dripped onto my leg… I don't know what…"

The man slowly walked forward, "which leg?" Without a reply, Kagome held out her left leg as the man knelt on one knee. The guy hissed in sympathy as he shifted Kagome's pants leg and saw her leg, Kagome cringing in pain, "come on, I'll take you to the hospital. Looks like acid."

"Is it really that bad?"

The guy wrapped an arm around Kagome's waist, as she put her left arm over his shoulders, "yeah. Not far to my car, can you make it?" Kagome nodded, leaning the staff against the door frame as she passed. As they walked, the guy introduced himself as Chief Charlie Swan.
