Chapter 4

Bad Omens (or... Friday the 13th)

_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_

The clock in the humongous dining room chimed one time. The dining room had dark green carpet and burgundy table clothes. A menu stood on an easel near the entrance. Every table was set. Waiting for the next meal. The room was sparkling and the exhausted maid had just headed off to bed. Everything looked as though it was an ordinary night but one could tell by the aura in the room that something was going to happen.

It was Friday the 13th. Not that anybody paid any attention to the superstition. It was an old tell that only fools believed. So what if it was Friday the 13th, it seemed just like any other day. Nothing exciting happened. There were no black cats on the ship and no ladders to walk under. Bad luck? Yeah right! Who believed in it?

Kagome did. Perhaps Miroku did too. For some reason the chime of the clock had woken Miroku up. Usually he was a heavy sleeper but on the mystic early hours of the day he woke at one o' clock when he heard the chime.

When he woke he looked at his surroundings. The walls were dark red, the carpet was white; he was lying underneath purple sheets and he leaned up against fluffy black pillows.

The room was dark and eerie. He could just barely see the light of the moon shining in through his window. He tried to fall back asleep, but his efforts were fruitless. Finally he just had to get out of the bed, slip on his robe, and take a short stroll around the boat.

He walked down the empty hall and when he walked by Sango's room he peeked in to see if she had fallen asleep yet. He had heard her stomp into her room around midnight cursing about people abusing her friend. He smiled when he saw that she was sleeping softly. She deserved a good nights rest. His Sango always deserved the best and when he saw her happy it in return made him happy also. So happy that he would risk groping her...

He shut her bedroom door softly and continued to walk down the hall. Until he heard a loud high pitched shriek of terror... As soon as he heard the scream he knew whom it belonged too. He rushed up the stairs with the beautiful gold banister, past the dining room and onto the main deck. There was nobody there. He looked in every corner hoping to see a familiar face. He saw neither spirit nor body.

Then something caught his attention. It was a small pink jewel near the bow of the boat. He would have overlooked it...but something; some mystical force had drawn him towards the jewel.

He walked cautiously towards the bow of the boat. When he got there he reached down to pick up the jewel. As the boat swayed the top of his body was pushed towards the railing and he got a good view of the front of the boat.

A good enough view to know that the shiny white boat had a big dark red stain on it. He looked back down and saw the blood dripping into the salt water. As he peered through the fog into the water he saw a big clump of ebony hair. He saw a black shawl floating in the water. And as the wave turned her over he could see Kagome's blood covered face...

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Sesshoumaru sighed and added a new file to his filing cabinet. It read the following.

Name: Higurashi, Kagome

Age: 16

D.O.B: 7/12/ 88

Death Date: 7/13/04

Cause of Death: Fall off of boat. Skull cracked in half. Dead upon impact. Suspected Suicide.

Witnesses: None.

It had been a long morning and the sun still hadn't come out. He was sitting in his office at an antique wooden desk that had been given to him by his father. There were papers all over the place. To an outsider it would seem messy and unorganized but to Sesshoumaru everything was in place and he could locate whatever he wanted in 5 seconds.

He had just gotten back from the boat where Kagome had been before she died. He had spent the night wondering if it was just a coincidence that the girl who had witnessed his brother's death had died exactly two years after Inuyasha's death, on a Friday the 13th...

He frowned finally realizing that it was his brother's anniversary of death. He had lived without the brat for two years now and he had to admit that he had cared for Inuyasha more than he thought he had. He thought he would love the day when that halfwit brother of his died, but instead he had spent the day in sorrow. Inuyasha had been young and had his whole life in front of him. He had his dreams taken away from him...

All because of that bitch... Kikyo. All because of her greed... Because she wanted the jewel for herself... he believed that Kikyo had taken the jewel with her after killing Inuyasha. He had no idea that in reality Inuyasha had given the jewel to Kagome Higurashi.

Although all of the clues pointed to suicide Sesshoumaru didn't believe it. It had seemed much more like a murder situation. It would have been so easy to sneak up behind a depressed girl and push her into the water, then call it suicide.

The fact that the boy Miroku told him he had heard Kagome scream had led Sesshoumaru to believe it was in fact a murder. Why would a girl let out a surprised scream when she already knew she was going to jump and land in the ice-cold water? It just didn't make sense...

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Sango looked from the beach out to the water. She would never swim in the ocean again knowing that her best friend's blood was mixed with it. She didn't think she could live without Kagome.

Kagome had always helped her through the bad times. Kagome had always cheered her up. Now that Kagome was dead who would help get her through this?

What troubled Sango the most was that the death was labeled as a suicide. Sango knew that Kagome couldn't have killed herself. Kagome had promised Sango and Kagome would never break a promise...

~* Sango do you promise not to die anytime soon? *~

~* Of course, as long as you promise the same*~

~* I'll try Sango*~

~* You'll try? *~

~* That's the best I can promise you... but I'll never let myself die if there's a way to prevent it. That I promise. *~

Why would Kagome have gone back on her promise? If was a suicide then it could have been prevented... Besides Kagome wasn't the type to give up. Even if she did feel like killing herself she would think it through twice and realize how stupid she was for even considering it.

Sango had considered killing herself. As soon as Miroku had awoken her and told her the news she had wanted to die. To go to wherever Kagome was. To join her in heaven or wherever she was. But Sango had realized that there were reasons to stay.

Her time would come sooner or later and then she would have eternity to spend with her best friend, as for now she was needed on Earth. She was taking over Kagome's job of protecting the jewel. Sango was the only one that Kagome had told of the Shikon and when Miroku handed her the gem she had vowed to protect, if only for Kagome's sake...

"Sango?"

Sango turned around.

" Houshi-sama. What do you want?"

" Can I do anything to help the pain go away? Kagome was a great friend and I miss her as well. We should get over her death, together."

" Houshi-Sama. It's...it's going to be so lonely without her..."

Then Sango broke down she wrapped her arms around Miroku and buried her face into his shoulder. She tried to stop the tears but she couldn't. They sat there for a while.

Miroku holding Sango in his arms comforting her and Sango crying on Miroku. They would get over Kagome's death and while doing so they would form a kind of trust. A strong bond of trust that would last for an eternity. A bond that only two people who've gone through tragedy can share...

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Naraku stared coldly at Kikyo. Kagome was dead and he hadn't killed her. The only person who could've was Kikyo.

" Kikyo, why have you gone against my will?"

Kikyo stared at him in confusion.

" What are you talking about? I haven't gone against your will!"

" Kikyo, I know that you killed Kagome and stolen the jewel. Hand it over."

" What? Kagome's dead? I didn't kill her but I sure as hell would like to know who did, so I could get the jewel from them."

Naraku stared at Kikyo. He could tell that she was telling the truth. But if Kikyo hadn't killed Kagome, Who had?

Kikyo was still her beautiful self. She still had glorious long black hair. She still had an evil cold look in her eyes. At a young age, she had turned from innocent to greedy. Her mind had been twisted. She had turned into a greedy, selfish woman.

If the younger Kikyo had been there perhaps she would have yelled at the older Kikyo for messing up her life. It was true. Kikyo had been a good soul. She had had a wonderful heart up until the day she had met Naraku. He had worked over the years to turn her into what she was today.

He had turned her into a criminal. He had given her the cold distant look that she had. He had contorted her face into the evil it now was.

It was all his doing. The doing of the world's most powerful villain...

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Kagome woke up in her bed. The sun was rising, the birds were chirping, it was a beautiful day and she couldn't wait to enjoy it. She pulled her lavender covers off of her and walked into the hall and down the stairs into the kitchen where her mother was standing.

Kagome frowned. Why did her mother look so sad? What had happened? Was it something to do with Sota? Oh, no, had Sota died? Kagome frowned and looked at her mother.

" Mom? What happened? Is it Sota? Is he Ok?" Kagome waited a few minutes but her mom sat drinking her coffee ignoring her.

" MOM! WHY ARE YOU IGNORING ME? Talk to me!"

" MOM!"

" MOM!"

Kagome felt tears crawl down her face. Why wouldn't her mother answer!?
