Chapter 4: The Town
Kikyo was still in the shower three hours later. Sango and Ayame were helping her get the blood off. Apparently it stains. I was put in charge to go to town and get bleach for her ruined clothes. Sesshomaru was to come with me.
We got in the car and drove into town. This time there were a few people. They were older men mostly. But like I said. A few. We were looking for a store when we saw a little kid. He was stairing at us when we turned the corner. It was a little weird but when I turned around I saw what looked like his mom snaching him and going into the nearest building. How rude.
We found the store, parked in the parking lot, and headed inside. It was almos empty. The casher was this female about our age. She was ok looking with her brown eyes, brown hair with a face full of freackles. Just like everyone else in the strore, she was stairing.
I looked at Sesshomaru to see if he noticed and I saw he was mad. I guess he did. We walked down the first asle we came across and there was an old lady. I walk up to her and tap her shoulder. "Um excuse me ma'me but I was wondering if you could please tell us were the bleach is?"
She looked at me as if I was a crazy person. She ignored the question and walked past us and out the store. Great. Some help she was. Well me and Sesshomaru did this the old fashioned way. We walked up and down all the asles. The bleach was on the last one. We grabbed it and went to the cheack out at counter. We handed the lady our bleach and were about to pay for it when she spoke up.
"So, like, yall, like, live in the old Higurashi house?" She was the first one in this cruddy place to talk to us.
" Um yes we do, but were only here for vaction." I look at Sesshomaru to see if he had anything to say. I looked at the girl again. "Mr. Higurashi was my uncle and he gave me and my mom the house."
"Well that's strange." What is she talking about. " That old man was the weirdest guy in this town. We all thought he didn't have any family. The guy stayed cooped up in that old house. Our parents told us to stay away from that house." We looked at her.
"Of course a bunch of us kids didn't listen. We wanted to know why we couldn't go over there. So me and some friends snuck over the fence. Our parants said the place was evil and we didn't believe them. But then we figered out why." We looked at her waiting for more.
"That place is hunted." I couldn't help it. I busted out laughing. She looked at me and frowned.
"What is it with you people?" I say between my laughter. "You think the house is hunted. Come on people. That only happens in movies."
"Well," she huffed, "It's yall's own fault if yall, like, stay there. If I were yall I'd pack my stuff up and leave." She put the bleach in the bag and took are money. "Yall were warned."
We walked out the store and rode all the way back to the house in silence. I took the bleach to the lundry room with Kikyo's clothes. I put her nasty, dry blood caked shirt and pants into the washer and added a little too much bleach. I turned it on and headed to the living room. Kikyo was finally out of the shower and was now shaking sitting next to Inuyasha. Sango and Miroku were on one love seat while Kouga and Ayame where on the other. That left the couch to me and Sesshomaru.
We were sitting quitly thinking to ourselfs when Kikyo made a huge outbrust. "I know who did this to me!" She got up and walked over to me. She got right in my face. "Kagome did this to me. I know she did cause she was mad at me." Everyone looked at me.
I stood up and pointed my finger right back in her face. " Kikyo don't you start pointing the blame on me. Even if I did do this, were would I get the blood from." I paused waiting for an answer. "Hu. I don't hear you. Thank you. You have no evidence." I was about to rant some more when her hand made contact with my face.
"Ha, you talk about me lieing. You just don't want to admit it." Now I was fully pissed. I rised my hand into a fist when I hit something harder. I heard a jaw crack. I had hit Inuyasha.
"What the hell Inuyasha? I was aboy to give this bitch of yours a peice of my mind. After slapping me she should be dead now. How dare she point the blame on me." I stormed of to the kichten to feed Buyo and then headed to my room. We stayed in there the rest of the day.
I went into my closet to look for pj's when Buyo came in. He started to scatch the back of the closet. When I ignored it he started to meow loudly. "Stop that. I'm not in the mood."
"Meow!"
"Fine." I stopped looking for clothes. I moved my clothes to the side and knocked on the wall. To my surpise it sounded hollow. Maybe it was some kinda passege. I went downstaires passing Sango on the way.
"Hey. I'm sorry about what Kikyo did. You were right. She shouldn't have said that or slapped you." I looked at her.
"Sango, you've been my friend since first grade. It wasn't your fault. I let my temper go and she ran her mouth. And besides," I say, "I'm fine. But hey you want to check something out with me?" I told her way I was going to the Kichten and what Buyo was doing.
"Sure." We went into the kichten grabbed the biggest knife we could find and headed back to my room. We went into my closet and I took the knife and stabbed it into the wall. I went through wall! Me and Sango started to tear the wall apart. When we finished there were stairs that led upward. Buyo took off up them
"Lets do this." Sango grabbed a flashlight and we started up the steps. When we reached the top it was like an attic. It had the musty, mildew smell and it was dark. I found Buyo sitting in front of what looked like a covered painting. Is this what he wanted to show me?
I walked over to him and grabbed the cover. Somehow I knew who would be on the painting. I was almost afraid to remove it. Sango stood behind Buyo waiting for me. I took a deep breath and pulled it down.
It was the lady from my dream. Sango gasped. "She's so pretty." Buyo began to meow extra loud. Soon me and Sango were tring to get him to hush. We even had our ears covered. Then the room started to spin. I looked at the painting and I could've swore I saw her smile. Then there was this huge blast of wind that knocked me and Sango back.
Before I saw black I thought I saw blue eyes looking down on me.
