Front Page Chapter 4"Curiousity Set Fate"
Next Day
Kagome ate cereal quietly as Miroku watched TV. He hadn't said anything since that concert. She knew she shoudn't of gone. He was mad obviously,and she couldn't take it anymore.
"Why are you angry,Miroku?"asked Kagome.
Miroku looked at her confused"What are you talking about,Kagome?"
"Cut the crap,Miroku!"yelled Kagome turning the television off.
Miroku stood up,and sighed"I still don-
"I no longer need your pity or protection,Miroku!Stop acting like you have to hide the truth from me!"yelled Kagome shooting to her feet.
Sango had came from upstairs. She looked at the arguement. They hadnt noticed the doorbell had rung. She rolled her eyes knowing it was the curious Inuyasha. She opened the door and let him in.
Miroku looked into her cold hazel eyes"You've changed.More than I expected"
"You're just noticing that?"she said in a low voice.
Miroku asked"Why?"
"That's a dumb question"she muttered.
Miroku yelled"I asked why!What are you not telling me,Kagome!"
Miroku grabbed her wrist knowing she was about to leave. She went pale and pushed him away from her.
"Don't touch me!That's a reason why I came down here!I'm sick of everyone thinking they can grab me like some helpless poor person!"she spat grabbing her coat.
Miroku asked"Who!Whose been hitting you,Kagome!"
"Stay out of it!It's none of your business!No one cared!Why should you start know!"yelled Kagome pushing past Inuyasha and leaving.
Miroku ran out"Kagome!Kagome?"
She was no where in sight. Sango looked at Miroku sadly. She knew he must be hurting. It was the second day she'd been there. Drama was already beginning.
Inuyasha sniffed. Her scent wasn't even far. He looked up. She was on the roof. Inuyasha snuck out the back door,and climbed the vine staff. Up to the roof.
She sat there looking at the dawn sun rising. He smelt her tears. Inuyasha sat beside her. She jumped then relaxed looking away. Her long hair fell over her shoulder's.
"Are you alright?"he asked curious.
Her scent popped out like a sore tumb. It was of jasmine,and rain. It was a scent he never smelt before. Very soothing.
Kagome whispered"What do you want?I don't even know you"
"That's a first"snorted Inuyasha.
Kagome wiped her tears. Ignoring him. She hugged her knees. He sighed.
Inuyasha asked"So... you're Miroku's cousin?Kagome Higurashi?"
"Yeah,and you're one of those preps.Inuyasha Takahashi"she muttered out.
Inuyasha frowned"I'm just as normal as you are"
"That's the point.You don't have the same life as me so... you wouldn't be normal.What happened?Someone died in your family?How casual"grunted out Kagome.
Inuyasha clenched his fist"Who do you think you are!"
"The person without a soul nor heart"she whispered treambling.
Inuyasha sighed"If you had no heart you wouldn't be hurting right now"
"Just what's your deal?"she yelled looking at him finally.
Inuyasha smirked"My deal is curiousity"
"I'm not a experiment ya know!Well you know what!Make up your min because curiousity set fate!"she yelled angerly.
Inuyasha sighed"Well... so be it"
"Huh?"she said confused.
Inuyasha snorted"Let's change the subject.Um... how old are you?"
"16"she said smiling.
Inuyasha smirked"17.U-
"My turn to ask a question!,"she blurted cutting him off. "So... where do you get your voice from?"
Inuyasha rised an eyebrow"My father.Um... can you sing?"
"Can I?You obviously did not know my cousin very well because I have my mother's voice!It's better than yours!"she said laughing at his insulted face.
They didn't notice Miroku,and Sango watching them. Miroku had a huge grin on his face. Inuyasha actually made Kagome laugh. He'd have to thank him later. Maybe he could get answers. After their conversation.
Inuyasha smirked"Is that a challenge?"
"Okay.You sing something first."she said smiling.
Inuyasha nodded"Okay... here I go.It's called My Sacrifice by Creed.I'll sing a few lines.Here I go,"
"When
you are with me, I'm free
I'm careless, I believe
Above all the
others we'll fly
This brings tears to my eyes
My sacrifice"
"Like I said mines better than yours!"sh said still dazed and fuzzy from his voice.
Inuyasha smirked"Oh,really?Then why do you have that look in your eye.That almost all girls have around me?"
"WHAT?"she yelled turning red. She looked away and shook her head. He laughed.
Kagome rolled her eyes"Okay.I'm gonna sing Lithium by Evanescence.Only a few lines.Here I go,"
"Please,
please forgive me,
But I won't be home again.
Maybe someday
you'll look up,
And, barely conscious, you'll say to no
one:
"Isn't something missing?"
You won't cry for
my absence, I know -
You forgot me long ago.
Am I that
unimportant...?
Am I so insignificant...?
Isn't something
missing?
Isn't someone missing me"
Inuyasha was in total shock. Her voice was amazing! Maybe she was right. Her voice was more... experinced! He loved it. She giggled threw her hands.
"Told'cha so"she said still laughing.
Inuyasha snorted"Whatever"
"Hmph."she said crossing her arms.
Inuyasha whispered"Your voice was beautiful.Never heard a voice like that before.Other than my mother"
"Oh.Has she passed?"she asked knowing by his expression.
Inuyasha nodded"Yeah"
"Sorry"she said looking at the dawn sky.
Inuyasha shrugged"It's cool.Anyway will I see you at school tommorow?"
"What for!?It's the last day until winter break!How'd I look coming on the last day?!"she yelled in bewilderment.
Inuyasha shrugged"Make first expression?"
"Fine... I suppose"she said sighing giving into his hopeful amber eyes.
Inuyasha danced inside but nodded"Cool"
"I better go talk to,Miroku"she said standing.
Inuyasha stood as well"Yeah.I'm gonna go anyway"
They both walked inside together. Miroku and Sango were laughing. When they walked in it got real quiet. They brushed off they weird feeling that they were up to something.
"I'm sorry,Miroku"she said sighing.
Miroku asked"Are you-
"It was my adopted mother.She was a cruel drunk.That didn't give a shit"hissed Kagome under her breath.
Miroku looked into her sad eyes"You don't have to worry about the past anymore."
"I know"she said in a lieing voice.
Sango clapped her hands together"So!How about school tommorow?!"
Everyone groaned and fell back anime style. Except Sango of course who was laughing.
