Chap 3- Dead
--
"Do you know Michasu Kuchinao ?" Officer Ioyazi asked and showed them a picture of the dead woman. The officer who knocked on Kaede's door was still investigating the Higurashi house, while his partner, Officer Ioyazi Ikamustoihsat questioned Kagome and Kaede at the station.
"No, I've never seen her in my life! I just moved here a few weeks ago!" Kagome said. Her tears had long stopped, but fear still wrapped itself around the quivering girl. "I don't know what she's doing in my house officer, I don't know."
Officer Ioyazi turned towards the solemn Kaede who was meditating. "It is not a time to meditate! We have just found a dead body in Miss Higurashi's home with no damn evidence!"
Kaede opened her eye and looked at the officer quietly. "The dead does not leave any evidence. You must look deeper..."
--
Kagome sighed as she jumped on the counter in her kitchen with her laptop on her lap. The sun had set long ago and the night critters scurried about.
It's been one full week since they have found Michasu Kuchinao's body in Kagome's house. Kagome has been bunking with Kaede while they continued to find some evidence within the week (but they found none), but the officers told her it's safe to move back in. The said girl was hesistant to step foot in her house and was very paranoid. She would jump at every sound she heard, hell, even her own voice scared the crap out of her.
This was the second day of coming back to her own house after the incidence. Her family hadn't even called her to see how she was doing or to say hi. Kagome had no homework and she was bored. She didn't feel like going to sleep just yet, so she decided to surf the net.
"I want juice," Kagome said to herself and placed the laptop beside her and jumped off the counter. She went to her fridge and grabbed a juicebox. When she turned around, there was a folded note on the screen of her laptop.
Kagome dropped her juicebox and ran towards the door that would lead her to Kaede's house, the safe zone. She grasped the doorknob and pulled on it. It did not budge. She grew frantic. Kagome ran towards another door that would lead outside, but as she grabbed the doorknob, it did not budge either. Her heart started beating quickly and she started breathing in irregularly breaths.
"Help! Please anyone!" Kagome cried and she ran towards the windows.
She tried to open it but it would not budge either. She grabbed something heavy near the window sill and when she raised it above her head to smash it against the window, she screamed and dropped it. She backed herself in a corner, staring horridly at the item she had just touched.
There, lying on the ground was a dead, disfigured leg. It was bloody, but it was fresh. Kagome raised her hands in front of her face and saw the blood that covered her hands. She also felt some drip onto her head when she raised it above her head. The blood slowly trailed down her pale face and down her spine.
Kagome screamed and got up and ran. She ran to any door that would lead her to the outside world and out of this hell-hole. She left bloody handprints everywhere as she grabbed onto anything.
Creeeak...
Kagome froze and slowly turned around to where the sound came from. Another creak and soon, the girl heard something rolling towards her. As the thing that continued to roll closer to her, she saw the item was somewhat round and plumpy. As it was only a few feet away, Kagome released a blood-curdling scream when she knew what the thing was.
The object continued rolling and stopped when it hit Kagome's shaking legs. Kagome pressed herself against the corner even more and closed her eyes, wishing it was only a dream, a nightmare. Hot, salty tears poured down her pale and blood-smudged cheeks and she let out a quiet whimper.
The item that sat quietly at Kagome's feet, was Kaede Minato's bloody head. Kagome opened her eyes and stared at the calm looking face of Kaede and she screamed again. "Why?! Kaede!"
Kagome pulled her legs closer to her body and away from the old woman's head. Soon, the blood started to turn a blue-greenish colour. Kagome watched silently as the blood turned a different colour. She watched how it soon started to evaporate. She watched how Kaede's mouth twitched into a sad smile and that soon disappeared.
Kagome brought her hands up to her face again and saw the blood that coated her fingers were gone. She slowly stood up and ran towards the kitchen, and towards her laptop that held not only one note, but two notes.
Kagome picked up the note that was first on the screen that made her run. She read it.
Kaede Minato. A traitor to the world. Must be eliminated.
Kagome felt more tears flow down her cheeks and she picked up the other note.
Child, you have stepped into your own death. You will find more of that in the near future, and you will also join your loved ones...cherish the time you have here. Do not tell anyone of this or else they will die as well...
The ink the writer used to write these two notes was blood. Kagome closed her eyes and fell to the ground, her small frame wracked with uncontrollable sobs.
After reading those notes, she grabbed the doorknob and pulled. It opened. Kagome then walked down her driveway and towards Kaede's house. She opened the door and saw Kaede's dead body lying on her couch, her eyes lying beside her on the table, atop a pillow.
The body started glowing and vanished, so did the eyes. Kagome then walked out of the house and into her own. Kagome knew this house had a deadly past.
--
It was 8:3o pm and there was a storm outside. The trees howled against the strong wind, and the house creaked under the force of the rain and wind.
Kagome was currently in the bathroom, splashing her face with cold water. She looked in the mirror and saw her pale, reflection, the creases in her forehead and light bags under her eyes.
"Please, what do you want from me? What is the reason for all these killings in my house?" Kagome whispered.
The mirror flashed and showed Kagome something. Kagome gazed at the mirror, until she heard a knock on her door. She screamed and the picture she saw in the mirror disappeared.
"Chill Kagome, it's just a knock on the door," Kagome said and walked downstairs to answer the door. "It could be the Grimm Reaper ready to take your sou-Wait! I am not going to die! It is not the Grimm Reaper at the stupid door!"
Kagome reached the main door and looked through the peep hole. It was dark outside and there were no lights on. She cursed inwardly. Maybe she shouldn't answer it. The person continued knocking and Kagome stayed quiet as possible.
"Kagome! I know you're in there! I heard you scream! Is everything alright?"
Kagome rose an eyebrow. "Officer Ioyazi?"
"Yeah! My car just broke down and you're the only one I know who lives in this area!" Officer Ioyazi screamed over the storm.
Kagome opened the door and pulled in the dripping wet woman in her house. "Sorry! I did not know that was you!"
"It's okay. There's a blackout and thanks," Officer Ioyazi said as she took the towels Kagome gave her.
"No problem officer-"
"Please call me Yazi," Yazi said and wrapped herself in the towels.
Kagome nodded and went to go make some hot chocolate. Yazi sat in one of the chairs and made herself comfortable. Yazi had long chesnut hair that she placed in a high ponytail; it reached her ass. She had fair skin, two pairs of deep violet eyes. Her bangs stuck to her forehead and she was pretty toned from what Kagome could tell as the clothes stuck to her lithe form.
Kagome sat in the chair across from Yazi as they waited for the water to finsh boiling. "What brings you here?"
"I was done my shift for today and to get to my house, I had to pass this area."
GET OUT
A deep booming voice echoed in the house and the tea kettle blew up. It sprayed hot water in Yazi's and Kagome's direction who got slightly burnt.
"AHHH!" Kagome screamed and ran towards the door once more. She jiggled the doorknob which did not open again.
"Move your hand!" Yazi yelled and took out her gun. She shot the lock and the door swung open from the force of the wind and rain. "Let's go!"
Yazi grabbed Kagome's hand as they escaped the house and entered the storm. They ran down the wet, slippery, long driveway, but a towering tree fell in their path and blocked their way to escape the property.
"How are we going to get over that!?" Kagome screamed and fear clouded her senses again. "We're done for!"
Another tree fell down, this time it was going to land on top of them. Yazi pushed Kagome out of the way, but she felt the tree fall on top of her leg and she blacked out. Kagome on the other hand, was safe from the tree, but she landed on her head as she was pushed away from the incoming danger. Before she drifted to the black abyss, the image from the mirror flashed in her scattered mind.
A family portrait of three youkai's and one human. Problem was, youkai's were extinct long ago...
