Kagome had been pulled inside by Bankotsu's doppelganger, though completely against her will. 'Kami, I don't even know where I would take him!' Kagome paced the floor in the living room of the house she was in. Two kids were in front of her on the couch, Souta, and another boy, the name of which she hadn't gotten. "How did it get like this..." her eyes turned to the older brother of the boy on the couch and she listened to him talk on the phone with the police. They were sending officers to the shrine, and then to the house she was in.
"Sis...she didn't do anything to you, right?"
Kagome laughed, though nothing like a normal laugh she'd give, it was sardonic, lifeless, and left a sick feeling in her heart. "No, Souta...she didn't do anything to me."
The doorbell sounded throughout the house, and Kagome watched the Band of Seven Leaders' look-a-like walk to the door and peer out the peephole. "...who is it?"
"..." he turned the lock on the door, making sure it was locked, "your mom..." he walked towards her and took her hand in his, pulling her up and nodding to the kids to go upstairs, pushing Kagome off after them. He went around the house making sure all the windows were locked, and that the backdoor was locked up before he grabbed the phone and his cellphone and made his way upstairs with the other three. They were in his room, the only room with a lock in the house. His own window was sealed and locked tightly as well. "What a way to spend a night just before my midterm."
"...what grade are you in?"
"My last year of High School, seventeen years old...I'll be eighteen this year though." He peered out the window. From where he was, he could see Kagome's mom wandering almost lifelessly on his front lawn. "You?"
"I'm a year below you...turning seventeen this year."
He smiled, glancing back at her, he looked her over carefully before returning his attention out the window, "are you seeing anyone?"
"Kotsu!"
Souta frowned, "please don't hook up with my sister while my mom is trying to kill us...it's extremely disturbing."
Kagome stood up and moved over to her baby brother, "Souta, when did mom start acting like this." Sitting on the floor in front of the bed her brother was sitting on, she stared up at him.
"When?" He shrugged, "I guess...it was last month..."
Kagome shook her head, "Last month...last month? What happened last month?"
Souta stared at Kagome, "...you came back...screaming..."
Kagome frowned, '...screaming?! What happened a month ago...!?'

"Sango...it hurts!"
"Kagome, you have to hang in there! It'll be okay, it just needs to be purified from your body! Miroku!"
Miroku had his sleeves rolled up to his shoulders and tied tightly, "I'll flush the miasma from you, please hold on for a few minutes."
Kagome cried out, "don't lie, Miroku, it will take much longer than just a few minutes, and you also know it won't all disappear out of my system."
Miroku stared sadly at her, "you're right, it won't completely leave your body, but I can still get rid of some of it. That's a start, at least. Once I'm done, I'll have Inuyasha take you back to your mom so that you can seek better treatment in your time."
Kagome felt her body tremble and shaking with the poison of Miasma coursing through her body. It wasn't much longer until she finally passed out from pain.

'When I got back...I was in pain. A lot of pain, actually...I remember now. I was screaming, mom came in and held me.' Kagome opened her eyes and looked worried, "...and the pain went away after that..."
"Yeah...I kind of suspected it had something to do with that, but at the same time...I don't know if I want to make accusations about it either." Souta moved to Kotsu and stared out the window, "she'll be in trouble, if she really did what you said...but worse, if we told cops that something demonic caused her to do it..."
"They'd only think we were crazy. Mom would be locked up, and we would be placed in either a mental facility, or a foster home. Take your pick."
"So what will we do?"
Kagome stood and walked towards the door, "Souta...don't leave."
Souta turned back quickly, "Don't leave? Where are you going?!"
Kagome was already out the door as Souta made to run after her, but only made it to the doorway when Kotsu and his younger brother grabbed hold of his arms.
"Sis!" Souta yelled out, "KAGOME~!"

Me: So this is how it's all going to work. I recently wrote down the names of ALL OF MY UNFINISHED STORIES, on pieces of paper, folded them and put them in a container. I shake it, and then draw one. WHATEVER I DRAW gets written, and then placed back in the container. I can't redraw. Now...I WILL UPDATE FOR SURE! Next up is...oh DAMN! =.= "Can You See Now"! See you all soon!
