CHAPTER 4

Kagome POV

The library was not much of use; I was looking for any new information of sirens, more like where they came from. But it was all really jumbled and mixed up.

I looked at some claims that they have seen sirens, but they described mermaids not me.

The bell rang for me to get back to class.

But as everyone was leaving I felt for some odd reason sleepy. I sighed as I walked to the nurse's office, I bet they wouldn't mind if I didn't go back to third, well I don't believe that many would expect me to return after what happened.

The nurse was not there so I took an empty bed in the corner and drew the curtain around me. I curled underneath the covers and slept.

~a long fitful sleep later~

I woke up to someone calling my name, or more like someone calling me "miss". Scrunching my eyes tightly once, I open them again and saw a strange woman's face in front of mine.

I yelped as I jumped up quickly and bang my head with her forehead

"Shimatta!" I cursed as I rubbed by head and I looked at the person. She had black hair that was tied into pigtails; she was currently rubbing her forehead but seemed unaffected.

"Oh dear, you alright?" she asked as she lifted her glasses over her nose. She had pretty brown eyes and was wearing a pharmacist coat.

"Uh yeah, gomen you just surprised me that's all" I said as I sat down on the bed and gave her a polite smile.

"oh that's great, I came in here and saw you laying on the bed and thought that you had something bad happened to you when I was out, but I'm glad that you are alright" she said as she walked toward her desk.

"Uh thanks for letting me staying, but what time is it?" I asked as I looked around for a clock of some sort to tell me the time.

"Oh, well school is already over, it has been for the past fifteen minutes hon" she said as she began tapping on her computer and rearranging her desk.

"WHA!" I nearly shrieked as I looked outside in the parking lot and saw a majority of the cars in the parking lot gone.

"Oh great" I muttered as I thought of Kaede and how I was so dead since she expected me home. She would not take a petty excuse that I was sleeping in the nurse's office.

"Uh, arigato, but I must go now, sayonara nurse-san!" I said as I bolted out. She waved happily at me as she left the office and locked the door behind her.

I slowed to walk as I thought about why she was so late, the nurse gets something from her purse and then I see it. A beer can.

Ironic that a Nurse was an alcoholic, she had a goofy grin as she took a sip and slipped the can back in her bag.

I shrugged it off, she seemed like a nice person so I guess as she didn't get herself caught, I wouldn't say a thing.

I walked to the art room, I knocked on the door but not to my surprise, no one was inside. Banging my head against the door once as I felt irritated that I forgot to get my stuff before I left to the Nurse's office.

Sighing, I made a mental not to come in the morning early to get my stuff. At least I didn't have to worry about doing any homework. Walking out of the school I saw my bike, I was not surprised that no one stole it, it was an old bike and surprisingly survived for so long

I mounted my bike and began pedaling home.

It was a nice pleasant feeling as the breeze swept through my hair as I went downhill, I was very happy that it was a beautiful day, though my first day at school could have gone better, I was not complaining though. As I neared my home, I saw the lake I lived nearby, and I felt something stir within me.

I looked at my house which was now only a few blocks away and then the lake. It was tempting to go there. I could almost feel the sea water against my skin.

Not really caring no more since I was already in trouble, I decided I would take a quick dip. Pedaling to the shore I placed my bike to the side as I walked closer to my cave. I once again looked around and when I saw that it was clear, I waded quickly in the water, already slipping out of my jeans and my shoes as I made it even deeper.

Looking once again around me, I slipped underneath as I swam to my cave. Setting my clothes aside I left on my shirt, it was not the most comfortable but I did not want to go topless.

But this time I was not going to shift, I wanted to swim just using my legs.

I left my stuff aside as I went underneath the water. I swam around, and I felt cold as I went down, but still some of my siren senses were at work so I was slowly adjusting to the temperature.

I swam around for a while till I sensed something in the water, I realized that it was a small group of fishes; I swam near them as I saw their scales glisten as they swam in a group like pattern. The water was not murky but clear enough that if people were on a plane above, would saw a black blur in the water.

Knowing that it was about time that I head back, I swam back to my cave and got my stuff. I swam back to shore fully clothed, but soaked and hurried home. Dropping my bike on the side I rushed in the back door. My clothes were soaked as I sneaked inside. I heard nothing as I made my way toward the little hallway which would lead me to my room

"And where were ye kagome" asked Obaa-Chan (going to refer Kaede like this when it is just her and kagome) appearing out of nowhere.

"Uh well I was held after school since the teacher wanted to give me a speech about the school" I lied, as I hurried through the mini hallway.

"Why ye are soaking?" she asked, I made it to the top of the stairs

"UH I was drinking some water and it….slipped out of my hand?" I asked myself more than told her.

"Kagome, I know ye have been in the water, I saw ye go in" I stiffened; I sighed as I walked gloomily out of the hall

"Kagome, ye need to be more carefully, I don't want to go as far as restrict ye from going to the water at all" she said. I got angered

"I don't get it Obaa-chan! You know what I am and I have already told you that it is hard for me to not go in the water. I get it you say me but no one else did!" I said

"don't ye raise ye voice with me kagome, I do not wish anything ill towards you I just want you to be safe and your reckless actions will only lead to you being caught' she said, her voice now reaching frustration.

My inner siren was getting worked up, I breathed in to keep calm as I spoke

"Gomen ne obaa-chan, I will try to be more careful but I can't promise that I will be able to stay away from the water" I said

She looked at me seriously, but sighed "if that is the most that I can ask of thee then I will not ask no more" she said as she walked away.

I felt guilty as I saw her walk away, but I couldn't dwell on it much, if I did not get out of these clothes soon I would get sick.

Going to my room I changed to a pair of blue Capri's and a white spaghetti strap shirt that hugged my body perfectly.

Getting out I saw her cooking.

"Do you need help with something?" I asked her as I sat on one of the seats. She got some things out from the cupboards till she finally spoke

"I need ye to take out the trash" she said. I nodded as I went outside

"Yee should put on shoes" obaa-chan said I replied with a sure as I slipped on some blue flip-flops. Walking toward the side of the house, I saw my bike a few feet away and on the side was the garbage can. Early I grabbed the handle bar on each side as I took in a deep breath and carried the aluminum can.

"Man they should make these things smaller" I told myself.

"If they were any smaller then you would just use a garbage bag" someone said startling me, I almost lost grip on the dumpster but I was able to get a grip on it again

"Dude! Don't scare me!" I yelled as I realized that I was yelled at Inuyasha, wait a moment what was Inuyasha doing here, well not here exactly but on the other side of the fence

"Well pay more attention" he said, I glared at him as he grinned. I calmed down as I walked to the front and then went walking toward the street

"Keh, running away" Inuyasha taunted as he came up beside me. I glared at him as I began running faster, then he began running faster, soon it turned to a race. But the weight of a garbage can does not help you.

So I ended up stopping to a halt as my palms began getting sweaty almost losing grip.

"You give up that fast? What happened to that fiery attitude?" he taunted as he began slowly walked backwards.

"Sorry but I don't know if you can see but I have this garbage can" I glared at him as I finally spotted the street. I saw the big dump place and dumped it in.

I almost fainted by the strong smell of garbage, but I suck it up long enough to dump it out and get out.

"Well now it is an empty garbage can, think you can beat me now" he said. I rolled my eyes at him

"Well you are the guy here; shouldn't you ask the girl if you can take the garbage can from her?" I asked him

"Hmm? Why the guy code is so overrated these days, plus looks like you have it handled anyways." He said, I glared at home as he began running

"I am beating you" he yelled out, I growled lowly as I raced after him. Sadly even though the garbage can was lighter it was still a burden to carry.

I ended up getting there last

"Well since I won, you owe me" said Inuyasha; I gave him a weird looked as I set the garbage can aside.

"What do you mean? You hit yourself on the head over here?" I asked him as I glared at him.

"No I didn't wench, but it is only fair since I won" he said as he crossed his arms

"Well sorry I never agreed to anything so it does not" I said as I glared at him. It turned into a glare out war till I heard obaa-chan calling me

"Kagome, ye need to help me with the food" she said

"Coming "I replied to her as I turned around and began walking.

"You live with your grandmother? Where are your parents?" he asked. I stopped as I reached the porch

"Uh dead, I think" I bluntly said, I never really looked into depth to who my parents were, I was in an orphanage and foster care, that must have meant that they didn't want me or have anything to do with me. So then I would not care who they were either.

"How can you be so straight forward with it?" he asked me, I looked at him and I saw a little pity in his eyes, but he also had curiosity in his eye

"I guess you can say if you never really had any feelings toward them then you can't really feel upset about it" I told him

I began walking up the steps "Bye Inuyasha" I said as I waved and closed the door, not waiting for him to reply

"What took ye so long kagome" asked obaa-chan. I sighed as I began setting up the table recounting what happened

"Kagome do not be near him no more" I rolled my eyes,

"Don't worry Obaa-chan, I won't" I said

She then appeared right in front of me

"I am serious kagome; I know ye are resisting the temptations but if you are near him too much, we don't know if you will want to—"
"I know my limits, plus I won't let it happen" I tell her as set down the forks

"I know kagome, again, for your safety" she said as she set the pan on a plat in the middle of the small round table.

"I know Obaa-chan, and thank you I appreciate it" I told her sincerely as we sat down to eat. It was typical beef stew but it was still very delicious.

~somewhere else~

~I sing my song for all to here

Come and join my time is near

The moon rises far and high

Wont you stay with me tonight~

The beautiful voice sang out as a young 17 year old teen walked zombily toward the waves. His eyes held a hypnotized state as he carelessly walked in the water

"C 'mere child" said the beautiful woman, she had her hand extended as she beckoned the young one forward.

When he finally grabbed ahold of her hand she smiled as she had a vice like grip on his wrist, and began sinking down. The young boy with no thought in his mind do nothing to stop going under, and deeper into the water.

The woman smiled as she showed her red eyes and elfin shaped ears

"This one looks yummy" she says as she lets her long black hair swirls around her. The moon glistened over the water as the woman placed her lips over the boys, taking his soul.
