Chapter 3-Late Night Walk
Late that night Kagome went out for a stroll.The city may have been big and new to her but she needed to find a new lead, she needed to find more information on the bastards that killed her family. She needed to know who had done this but most of all why they had done it. As she walked down the darkest of all allies she ran into an intriging man and was about to approch him when the man turnned around with a dragon summoning orb in his hand. Kagome's eyes widened as the man's eyes started to gleem.
"I've finally found you." he wisphered before a large ball of light shot into Kagome and sending her flying into the wall. 'The bastard might be old but he packs a punch.' was all she thought as she flew across the alley and hit the wall. At that point she couldn't move, she couldn't even stand to be awake for that matter. She closed her eyes as she summoned her witching power and send herself home with the last aounnce of enery she had left. After all there would be no point in fighting if she was going to loose, especially when she still needed to do so much more with her life, when she still needed to find the bastards who had trully damned her in this life.
Meanwhile Inuyasha was out for a walk. He was searching for his next target and was growing rather board.
"Man, to think they'd at least show themselves every once and a while." he said bitterly.
"Aww come one Inu, have a little paitence."
"Quit with the smart ass coments. Where is Sango anyway?"
"She was sent out on an assignment with Rin?"
"Classfied?" he asked but before he could allow Miroku to answer he cut off their connection and ran for the dark alley. 'What is this I feel?' he thought. By the time he got there he found the new girl disapperaing into the shawdows and a short old man running for his life. In an instant Inuyasha stopped him and called for Miroku.
"Send a bus over."
"Ahh, so you did find your target."
"Not exactly, I'll explain when Sango gets back." and with that he left. Inuyasha walked toward the only place he had come to call a sancuary. Other than being at home it was a place that kept him in check and at peace. 'Who is that girl?' he thought harshly. He couldn't seem to understand why or how this girl had come to Tokyo but he was going to find out. The first day he saw her, the first time he witnessed her courage something lit inside him. Something he thought had died so long ago. 'But why now?' was his next train of thought. All the while he could only think, could only sit as his late night walk took a pause. Two hours later he made his move and was about to leave for home when he heard footsteps approching. Inuyasha quickly hid in the shadows as he waited for the appernce. Though it was strange, after all no one knew of his hidden sancuary and had long since decided to leave it that way. Soon a small but strong body emerged and Inuyasha's eyes widened at who had appeared. 'It's..its her?' he thought while tring to keep his calm. He wasn't sure what made him so uneasy aobut the girl, he didn't even know what it was that she held that had such power to light a long dead flame but wantted to find out.
After waking several moments upon arriving Kagome decided to go out for a walk. 'Okay, no huntting, no worries. Just a simple walk.' she told herself as she left the house. She was walking for the outskirts of town when she felt an almost summoning pull. She followed the feeling, leting it guide her to where ever it was. When she got there the sky was dark but light by thousands of stars. Kagome quickly relaxed under it's light, under the peaceful gaze it seemed to send out. She was about to take a seat when she felt it. Thier was a pair of eyes watching her from the shadows. At that instant she froze. She couldn't attack, at least not knowing what was in store for her first; and she also wasn't even sure if she could move. 'Well, I guess I could run?' she thought. Just as she was about to make up her mind however, a familiar aura was felt and she soon found her self fighting the erge to laugh.
"Sorry, I didn't know this was your place. I was just out for a late night walk, for some fresh air. I'll be leaving now, good night, Inuyasha." was all she said as all her withing energy was surpressed and she was on her way. Well, would have been if it wasn't for him. Inuyasha smilied mentally and soon stepped out to stop the girl form leaving.
"Wait, just don't tell anyone about this place and you'll be fine." was his only warning before dashing off. Kagome smiled, expecting his reaction and soon took her leave. 'But before i do leave' she thought as she imprinted a short poem into the tree she had felt him sitting at. Kagome then smiled and took off, knowing that tomorrow she would have school and a lot of catching up to do on her families death.
