Haunting Sensation
Chapter 2: Fuck the Suicidal Accident
* * * * * * * * * *
"What the hell?!!! Can you stop screaming?!!" The ghost levitated a two hundred paged, paper back book off her shelve and threw it her way. Kagome was too stunned to move and the book was coming fast. It went right pass her head and hit the wall behind it. The book was thrown with so much force that it blew Kagome's hair as it flew pass and made a tiny dent in the wall.
Kagome thought she was having a heart attack. She grabbed her practice clothes off the carpet and rushed out her bedroom door, slamming it closed.
"Okay Kagome, calm…down you can handle this." Kagome leaned with her back up against the face of the door and her arms spread across it. She was trying to catch her breath and think of a plan. "I know. I can use the sage again."
"Did you really think that shit worked last time?" The ghost came through the ceiling this time and placed himself right in front of Kagome. His face was less than an inch away from hers. He wasn't floating; he was standing firmly on the ground or he made it look like he was standing firmly.
He placed his hands up against the wall on each side of her, trying to signify that he didn't want her to run again. 'He's tall. I say about 6.2.' Kagome had to look up to see his face and he had to look down on her. Kagome's mind went blank as soon as her eyes caught his. It was like his amber eyes were drawing her in. His eyes didn't seem as though they had the intent to kill or haunt or whatever.
"Before you start screaming like a dumbass again, will you hear me out?" Kagome snapped to her senses at the sound of his voice. Then she remembered that she was half naked in laced underwear with a ghost that happened to be a hot guy floating/standing in front of her. Her cheeks blushed a pure red. She couldn't even look him in the eyes.
The ghost noticed her embarrassed expression and thought of it as a sign of weakness. He started staring at her even harder than she had stared at him before. His eyes we're searching her from head to toe. Kagome wasn't watching him but she could feel his intense gaze and it was making her extremely uncomfortable.
She didn't know what this burning feeling was. Her hands were sweaty, her knees were weak, and she felt his eyes tracing every curve of her body.
"Can you stop staring please?!" Kagome slid down against her closed door and sat with her arms wrapped around her knees in defeat. She rested her head on her arms looking down at her lap, trying to avoid the ghost's glare.
"If I do, will you listen to me?" He looked down on her with a satisfied grin.
"Fine…I'll listen…but-" the sound of the doorbell echoed through the apartment and interrupted their Stare Contest Conversation. Both of their heads turned to the direction of the sound.
"Fuck," the ghost seemed disappointed. He backed up a little signaling for her to answer the door. Kagome started to put her dirty practice clothes on and the ghost turned around to give her some privacy. Kagome saw the disappointed look on his face and she thought that she should at least give him a chance to explain himself.
She rushed to the front door trying to make this interruption as short as possible. When she opened the door she wasn't surprised to see her elderly neighbor, Granny Kaede.
"Oh dear Kagome, I rushed over here as fast as my old legs could." Granny Kaede sounded worried.
"What's the problem Granny Kaede?" Kagome gave her an 'Everything is Fine' smile.
"I heard a scream and I know you've been having problems with nightmares-" Granny Kaede was cut off.
"I ensure you that everything is fine Granny Kaede." Kagome didn't mean to be rude but just as Granny Kaede was about to say something else Kagome closed the door.
She turned in the opposite direction and searched for the transparent figure. She didn't see him. After she searched the kitchen and the den, she ran to her room and found him sitting on her bed innocently watching Mr. Kitty play with an orange ball of yarn. 'When he has those kinds of cute expressions it's easier to trust him.'
He got up when he heard the door close. "We had a deal." His facial expression turned serious.
"I know. I'll listen to what you have to say." Kagome quietly sat down at her desk next to the door. The ghost sighed with relief.
"Shit, where do I start?" The ghost floated back in forth scratching his head. He never really thought he would get a chance to talk to her. "My name's Inuyasha so you can stop calling me Ghost or Mr. Ghost or whatever. I died last Thursday and I don't know why the fuck I'm still here. I got ran over by a fuckin Corvette when I was crossing the street after leaving Mushin's Grocery. What the fuck is happening to me?" Inuyasha held up his transparent hands and looked at them with frustration.
"Why are you telling me all this?" Kagome was confused. She didn't even know him so why would he come to her.
"You're the only one that can see and hear me. I don't know why. To tell you the truth I'd rather have one of my family members or some cuter sexier girl to be in your place."
"Do you want me to listen or not?" Kagome got up indicating that she was about to either leave the room or start screaming again.
"Calm down. I just need some one to come with me to find out who killed me." Inuyasha was one who didn't know how to ask for help. Kagome sat back down thinking this was getting interesting.
"I'm lost. I thought you got hit by a car while crossing the street accidentally, not murdered. Like maybe walking before the crosswalk said so?"
"No dumbass. It was a hit and run. Some bastard ran over me on purpose."
"How do you know it was on purpose?" Kagome's nightmare, Sota, and her mother came to mind. She quickly held back the thought. She was so caught up on sad thoughts that she didn't get mad about being called a dumbass.
"Let's just say I could feel it. I felt the thrust of that car when it hit me and when my body rolled over the back window, the car didn't slow down. That car came at me head on, about 90mph, and it left at the same speed. The driver never got out the car or even rolled down the window to see how badly they fucked me up."
"So what you're basically trying to tell me is that you want me to help you find this mystery murderer?"
"You can say that." Inuyasha didn't call himself asking her for help.
"I can't do it."
"Why not?!" Inuyasha turned to her with confusion and anger in his eyes.
"This sounds very dangerous. What if the murderer tries to kill me for snooping around in his or her business?"
"That's a risk I'm willing to take. I just need someone who can physically touch, lift, and carry clues."
"So you just want me for my body?"
"Physically? Yes. Sexually? Hell no." Inuyasha gave her the finger and stuck out his tongue at the end of his comment.
"Jerk!" Kagome blushed, pulled a book off her organized desk, and threw it, aiming it at Inuyasha's head. The book went through the top of his head sliding through his beautiful silver hair.
"Dumbass." Inuyasha laughed at how slow she was.
'Oh yeah I forgot about that.' Kagome got so heated that she wasn't thinking straight but then something came to mind. "Can't you lift physical objects? You threw that book at me when I first came home?"
"I know. It's like I'm Danny Phantom or something. I recently learned that trick when I got pissed off at this wench who threw sage shit all over me!" Inuyasha got louder with anger as he reminisced.
"I'm still not sorry for that. So you don't need my help you can pick up physical objects on your own."
"Why the fuck would I be here if it were that easy? I can only levitate small objects that don't weigh that much, lame stuff like silverware and paperback books."
'That makes sense. Ghosts don't seem to be strong enough to lift heavy objects.' There's just one more thing Kagome wanted to ask, "How do you know that the police are not already on your murder case?"
Inuyasha's visage went from calm to depressing; he sat down on Kagome's bed and stared at his feet. He began to speak very slowly with a low tone. "When I came back with my body in this condition, I was in the same exact spot I died in. My face was pressed up against the pavement but I couldn't feel anything. It surprised me when I noticed that I could not only stand up uninjured but I could float too. Was anybody seeing this? Could anybody see the confused seventeen year old floating in the middle of the street? Out of the thousands of people walking home from work that night, not one could see me. It's like I didn't exist. The first thing I did was go to the grocery at the corner thinking this was just a dream. I had gone to that grocery a few times before. As soon as I came in, I noticed the newspaper rack next to the door, and the headline really caught my attention. CAR ACCIDENTLLY HITS SUICIDAL TEENAGE BOY. Accidentally...Fuckin Suicidal? It gets worse when I lean in to read the first line of the article. A TEENAGE BOY, INUYASHA TAISHO, JUMPS IN FRONT OF AN ON COMING CAR. Out of rage I reach for the newspaper thinking I'll rip it to shreds. My hand goes through the newspaper. I stare at my hands dumbfounded."
Kagome didn't want to feel sorry for him because she knew that he didn't want her pity.
"I can't touch anything, I can't feel anything, I can't smell anything, I can't taste anything, and when people turn my way…they can't see anything." Inuyasha still stared at the carpet beneath him, his fingers curled into a tight fist. He was trying his best not to show Kagome the vulnerable expression on his face.
'He came to me for help. He must have been relieved in the park yesterday when he realized there was someone who could see him and I ran away from him…and threw stinky sage all over him. I'm such a horrible person. If my mom or Sota came back as a ghost I would help them in a heartbeat!' Inuyasha lifted his head wondering why Kagome was silent. Then he saw Kagome lost in thought.
She looked like she was thinking of something that gave her grave pain. A tear slid down her cheek and before he could say something Kagome wiped it away. She looked in his direction with a fake smile.
"Inuyasha, I'll help you." He knew that her smile was forced, but he could tell that she wasn't forcing herself to help him.
'Maybe if she helps me… I can pass on in peace.'
* * * * * * * * * *
"Kagome, I'm home!!" Auntie Midoriko's voice caught Kagome's attention. Kagome stood up with such haste that her rolling desk's chair slammed into the wall behind it.
"You hide." Kagome pointed to Mr. Kitty. "You wait here." Kagome pointed to Inuyasha.
She rushed out the door and slammed it behind her. Aunt Midoriko was squeezing through the front door when Kagome came to the den. Her hands were full of brown paper grocery bags.
"A little help please?" Auntie was about to drop the whole load when Kagome grabbed a few out her hands.
"Did you go grocery shopping?" Kagome lead the way to the kitchen with her Auntie not far behind.
"No, Ms. Kaede gave these to me…well us. She said she was worried and that we needed to eat more healthy foods. Then she started asking me a whole bunch of questions about you, Kagome. I swear she was looking out her peephole all day, waiting for me to pass by to answer all her questions. She said she heard you screaming this afternoon. Did you take a nap after practice and have another nightmare about your mom and your brother?" She asked the question in a low comforting tone. Auntie stood at the round kitchen table with Kagome, emptying the paper bags.
Kagome knew she couldn't tell her Auntie the truth. She couldn't even tell her the real subject of her recent nightmares. "There was a roach in the kitchen. I saw it when I was fixing a snack after practice. Granny Kaede was over exaggerating." Kagome didn't look her in the eyes as she spoke.
"Yeah, she tends to do that." Auntie ignored her bad feeling and continued to sit the food on the table. "Oh yeah," Auntie started to dig in her coat pocket. Her frown turned into an excited smile. "Look what I found under the car's passenger's seat." Auntie's voice was full of happiness. She pulled out a silver locket with a K embed on its surface. The locket swung back and forth in front of Kagome's face. She smiled as her eyes followed it.
"I've been looking for this." Kagome cupped her hands together as her Auntie let it fall into her grasp.
"I know. You need to be more responsible when it comes to important antiques."
"Thank you!" Kagome gave her Auntie a big hug.
* * * * * * * * *
"I'm fuckin bored." Inuyasha was in his usual spot on Kagome's bed. His head turned fast when he heard Kagome walk back in the room. She had one of Kaede's brown paper grocery bags in her hands.
She quietly grabbed her locket out her pocket and placed it on her desk. The bag sung behind her moving as she walked. Kagome walked pass her bed not giving Inuyasha any attention. When she got to her closet, she slowly slid the door open; Mr. Kitty jumped out from the dark closet. She pulled out some of Granny Kaede's food and sat it in front of the cat waiting for him to eat.
"What the fuck are you doing?" Inuyasha turned to hang off the left side of the bed where her closet was.
"What does it look like I'm doing? I'm feeding my kitten." Kagome was wondering why he would ask such a question. 'Like he cares for cats.'
"Cats don't eat nasty shit like that. Don't you have any cat food or fish, or something? I wouldn't eat that if I were alive."
Kagome knew that Granny Kaede's cooking wasn't the best and she knew that she actually didn't enjoy eating dinner tonight, but she wasn't going to admit it to him. She looked at the other meal in the bottom of the bag, 'I'm guessing he doesn't want this and judging by what he just said, he can't eat any way.'
"He'll have to eat this. One I'm hiding him so my Auntie doesn't bring home any cat food and Two this is the best we got." Kagome watched as Mr. Kitty began to eat. "See he likes it."
"Yeah, whatever." Inuyasha turned the opposite way in defeat.
"I'm going to take a bath across the hall. No peeking or I'll kill you and this time you won't come back." Kagome got up from her kneeled position and grabbed a yellow towel from her closet.
"Who'd wanna peek at you?...Besides I already saw most of you this afternoon and you ain't got much of nothin." Kagome wanted to punch him, karate chop him, kick him in the forehead, but she couldn't. Her hand balled into a fist. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and stomped out the door slamming it so hard that it made Mr. Kitty jump. Inuyasha laughed when she left the room.
'It's so easy to make her mad.' He sat up in the bed and started watching Mr. Kitty eat. He peeked inside the bag thinking, 'Ghosts don't eat stupid.'
"Now I'm bored again." Inuyasha sat silently thinking what he could do to pass the time. Then he noticed that he was in a girl's room so he decided to examine and explore. He looked around at the pink and red color scheme and couldn't help but think she was a girly kid. Last time he checked her underwear was even the same color. He turned to the pink Care Bear stuffed animal in the middle of her twin sized bed. 'I wish I could punch this shit out my way.'
He floated to her desk to see what she worked on. He found himself staring at a whole bunch of costume design drawings and Hojo love letters. Then his eyes moved on to see her recent report card. 'She has A's in every subject. What a fuckin surprise!' Inuyasha thought sarcastically. Then he noticed that she had one F in the last class written on the paper, Japanese History.
Next to her grade she had drew a frowning face with its tongue sticking out and its eyes were X's. In bright orange highlighter it read, NO MORE F's FOR ME!!! 'Yep, she's a loser.' Then Inuyasha came across her opened locket. He studied the two pictures of the left and right sides of it. There was a picture of a boy who could pass as an eight or nine year old on the left and a picture of a lady who seemed to be in her mid thirties on the right.
'Must be her mom and kid brother.' Inuyasha wished he could pick up the locket to get a better view. 'That reminds me. What's taking her so long?' Inuyasha turned to her alarm clock next to her bed and realized that she had already been in the bath for at least thirty minutes. 'Well I'm going to check on her. If she didn't want me to peek on her she wouldn't have mentioned that the bathroom was across the hall.'
* * * * * * * * * *
Inuyasha floated through the fogged glass door that lead to the white tiled bathroom. 'I'm guessing it's hot in here.' The mirrors were fogged and a mist hung in the ventilation. Inuyasha could hardly see the sink and toilet through the haze but when he made it to the bathtub his eyes were wide open.
His eyes couldn't turn away from Kagome's figure. He was so caught up in her body that he didn't even realize that Kagome had fallen asleep in the bathtub. She was lying in the bathtub naked with her head resting on the wall of the tub. His mind went completely blank. All he could focus on was her pale skin, her round breast, her shiny pink lips, and her long beautiful legs. Her long wet raven black hair hanging down to her belly button and her innocent facial expression didn't help lessen the arousal he felt in his lower half. He kneeled down to the bathtub. His hands were moving on their own.
He reached out for her waist, 'her skin is...probably really soft and smooth,' His hand went directly through her body.
"Dammit," Inuyasha snatched his hand back fast balling it into a fist. He sat there on the bathroom floor staring at something he could never reach.
'Why the fuck did I have to die? Why couldn't I make it to the other side that day? This is just like that day!!! I was so fuckin close but so far away!! Just like I am now.' Inuyasha knew he was in serious trouble when he heard knocking on the bathroom door.
Luckily Kagome didn't wake up before the first two knocks and Inuyasha managed to escape without being labeled as a Peeping Tom.
* * * * * * * * * *
"Kagome, did you fall asleep in the bath again?!!" Kagome's Auntie called from the other side of the door.
"Yeah, but I'm awake now." Kagome almost slipped getting out the bathtub.
"Well hurry up. I have to take a bath too you know." Auntie's voice wondered off as she walked down the hallway.
'Why did I fall asleep? Now I don't know if that perverted Inuyasha peeked on me or not.' Kagome still didn't trust Mr. Ghost and according to what just happened she had a good reason not to.
* * * * * * * * * *
"Inuyasha, you didn't peek on me right?" Kagome busted in her room in her green night gown. Inuyasha was in his usual spot, (Lying on her bed.)
"Don't be so conceded. I said there was nothing to see so why would I peek at a girl with no figure?" Inuyasha stared at the ceiling, with his hands resting behind his head. Kagome wondered why he wouldn't face her directly but, she kind of believed his words.
"Well I guess it's time for bed. You can leave now Inuyasha."
"What are you spewing? I don't have anywhere else to go."
"Well you can sleep in the closet with Mr. Kitty."
"Hell no. And I don't sleep anyway so I'll just stay in the bed with you."
"No you won't. I'll turn the T.V. on in the den so you can watch a Family Guy marathon or something." Kagome didn't want Inuyasha to be around when she had a nightmare.
'He'll probably think I'm a freak or something...Wait a minute. Why do I care about what he thinks?'
"Fine, watching Family Guy is probably a lot more fun than being in here with you." Inuyasha still stared at the ceiling never giving her his full attention, but in truth he was really thinking about what she was trying to hide from him.
Kagome was surprised that he had accepted her idea and she didn't hesitate to leave the room quickly to turn on the television in the den. Kagome rushed back in her room without slamming the door behind her for the first time today. She left the door open signaling for Inuyasha to leave.
"I can go through walls dumbass." Inuyasha passed her on the way out taking the wall instead of the door.
"Jerk," Kagome said that under her breath as she slammed the door.
* * * * * * * * * *
Inuyasha had been watching Family Guy with a mixture of Robot Chicken for about five hours now and he glanced at the clock next to the couch. It was exactly 3:59 a.m. As soon as the clock hit 4:00 a.m., Inuyasha heard a loud scream come from Kagome's room. He floated there quickly and stood at her door. Auntie Midoriko ran through his body, not even feeling his presence. She ran to Kagome's side and hugged her tightly in bed.
"Did you have another nightmare about your mom and brother?" Midoriko held Kagome's head to her chest. Kagome just nodded her head, and tears fell down her cheeks. She turned to Inuyasha who stood in the doorway. 'Why...Why did he have to die that way?! It was so painful...so painful! Inuyasha, why am I reliving your death in my dreams?!'
Inuyasha couldn't face her hurt expression. He was completely lost. 'Why is she looking at me like that if she supposedly had a nightmare about her family?' Inuyasha left the room because he didn't like seeing her in so much pain. 'I guess I'll ask her in the morning.'
* * * * * * * * * *
Kagome woke up with a head ache but she felt better than she had felt last night. She jumped out of bed surprised after turning over to see Inuyasha next to her wide awake.
"Hey, tell me about your brother and mom, and why you're having nightmares about them." Inuyasha ignored her reaction and Kagome avoided his comment by saying, "Would you look at the time!" She glanced at her alarm clock and remembered that she had forgotten to turn her alarm on last night.
It was already 6:35a.m. and morning practice started at seven. "Couch Miyuki is going to make me eat brown towels if I'm late this time!!!!!" Inuyasha gave her a 'What the fuck are you talking about?' look while Kagome ran inside her closet to change. She came out in her navy blue Shinjuku High School Track pull over and her navy blue track shorts. She raced to the bathroom to brush her teeth and wash her face. She pulled her bang back into a ponytail to show off her hair line.
Before Inuyasha could mention anything else she was out the front door running to school with toast in her mouth.
This pissed him off, "So, she wants to play the hard way."
* * * * * * * * * *
After running extra laps at morning track practice for being late Kagome was almost late again to her favorite class of the day, Japanese History. As soon as the bell rung, Kagome ran in the door as the class president closed it behind her. She was happy to see that Mr. Kimura wasn't in the classroom at the time.
The class got loud after waiting fifteen minutes and Kagome was about to put her head down when Mr. Kimura came in. She sat up straight trying to look as interested as possible.
"Can everybody shut the fuck up please?!!!" Mr. Kimura's voice made all the students' heads turn. The whole room was silent. Kagome was surprised. She had never heard Mr. Kimura curse before. He made it a rule on the first day that cursing wasn't allowed in his class. Mr. Kimura placed his hands at the bottom of his stomach and squeezed his fat.
"What a fat fuck I am." the teacher seemed annoyed at the fact as if he wasn't used to being fat. The class was laughing at his comment even Kagome gave a little chuckle.
"Who laughed?!" Mr. Kimura's attention was back on the class and everybody who was laughing stopped.
"Was it you Kagome?" the teacher turned to her as if he were seeking her out.
'That's weird he usually calls me Ms. Higurashi.' Kagome was scared and confused at the same time.
"No it wasn't me sir." Kagome stared at her desk trying not to make Mr. Kimura angrier.
"Kagome, see me outside." The teacher left the class and stood out in the hallway. The whole class spoke there little side talk as Kagome followed. (Side Talk= "She's in deep shit now." In whispered tones.)
Mr. Kimura closed the door behind Kagome after she walked out. They stood across the hall next to the window. Kagome looked out the window to see that it was another rainy day.
Kagome spoke without giving Mr. Kimura any eye contact. She already had an F in his class and now she was in huge trouble. "Mr. Kimura, I'm really sorry I didn't mean to laugh. I know I have no right to laugh in your class but it's just that I don't get to see fat people jiggling their bellies everyday and-" before Kagome could go on with her nervous rant Mr. Kimura busted out in laughter.
"Would you really tell your teacher that? No wonder you got an F in this fat fucker's class." The teacher couldn't stop laughing, but then he stopped when he moved closer to Kagome.
Kagome tried to back away but he pulled her by her wrist. "What are you-!?" Kagome tried to pull her wrist back but the fat guy was strong.
She was just about to knee him in the balls when Mr. Kimura pulled down his reading bifocal glasses.
Kagome couldn't believe it. She found herself staring into Mr. Kimura's golden amber eyes.
"Inuyasha?"
