Chapter Three: An Accident

Yokohama

"Kagome…" Inuyasha said, thinking and getting a shiver down his back. He closed his eyes and sighed, thinking of her brown hair, her honey brown eyes. "I hope you're all right. I just got the strangest feeling…"

He jumped up as he thought of a brilliant plan, his eyes bright with enthusiasm. He climbed down from the roof to the tree, then from the tree to his bedroom window. He crossed his bedroom in a couple steps and threw the door open, adrenaline pumping through his veins as he raced down the stairs.

"Sesshomaru!" Inuyasha called, running through the living room and the kitchen. He walked through a hallway and threw a door open. "Sessho-"

"What?" Sesshomaru snapped, looking up from his work, "What could be so important that you insist on causing a disruption while I am so obviously working?!"

"Sesshomaru, I have a question about going to Tokyo!" He said, lighthearted and wild-eyed.

Inuyasha stood at the counter, looking the helpless looking man in the eyes. "Can I get my ticket, yet?" Inuyasha asked, bored and annoyance resonating in his voice.

"I'm sorry, Sir. Y-you're not valid for a ticket." the man at the counter said, nervously wringing his hands and pulling at his collar. He helplessly looked around, like a cornered dog that was about to be punished. "I'm sorry, but the people higher up have listed you as a threat to the other passengers…" the defenseless man said, trailing off as the people around Inuyasha backed away slowly.

"Because of the time I got angry that they gave me a seat between two people who looked like mountains?" Inuyasha tested, rubbing the bridge of his nose, as a girl behind him giggled. The man nodded quickly, "Y-y-yes sir…"

Inuyasha picked up his bag and, in a polite, yet obviously furious way, left. "See if I ever come to this airport again," he said under his breath. "How will I get to Tokyo now…"

Tokyo

Inuyasha, Kagome thought, her eyes dimming as she pushed her feet into the sand, how could you have left me? Thunder boomed in the distance. Kagome sighed, stood and picked up her shoes, putting them on easily, then started walking home. Kagome climbed up the steps to the shrine. Home…she thought wryly. Can I even call it that?

"Kagome," said Satome called as Kagome opened the door to her house. Her voice was filled with despair, "Kagome?"

"Yes, Satome, what is it?" Kagome asked, hearing sadness in her sister's voice and trying to pinpoint which room she was in. Then Kagome saw Satome running to her, her chunky face hidden in her hands. She looked up, her face blotchy red and swollen. She's been crying…

"Kagome!" Satome said, between sobs, "Mother, Father, and Souta have…have…"

"Have what?" Kagome said, feeling Satome's sadness envelope her. Kagome grabbed Satome's shoulders, trying to steady her. "What happened?"

"They were in an accident! They are at the hospital right now! " Satome sobbed, sliding to the floor in a mess of distress and mental chaos.

Kagome stood in shock as her hands fell limply to her side. "No…" she whispered, "No!" Mother wouldn't have gotten into an accident, Kagome thought, tears cradling on her eyelashes. Mother is so much more careful than to let herself get into an accident. No…this can't be happening. This is all a nightmare. I'll wake up soon. She suddenly felt an emptiness, like her heart was being torn out and stomped on, while Satome sobbed on the floor.

RIIINNNNNGGGGGG! RRRIIIIINNNNNNGGGGGG! The phone screamed into the silent house.

Kagome ran to the phone and answered quickly. "Hello, Higurashi residence. Kagome speaking" Kagome said, tears almost spilling over her lashes.

A sickly sweet voice came through the phone, "oh, Miss Higurashi! This is Nurse Tennyo. We have some news on your mother and father…"
