The Neighbor
The criminal was caught and captured; Hikaru was holding the shaken up Kagome tightly. She stared into her dark apartment, looking at all the broken things on the floor, and cringed when the adrenaline wore off and a sharp pain shot up through her legs that sent her to the ground; Hikaru picked her up and brought her into his apartment, where they found pieces of glass in her foot.
Kagome didn't make any eye contact with Hikaru as he seemingly dissected her feet free of the offending shards.
"Do you have a place to stay for a few days?"
Kagome was silent for a moment as she looked at herself in the mirror sitting on the counter in Hikaru's bathroom, her eyes tired and red.
"No, I don't have any friends and my family is out of town."
Hikaru was the one silent this time.
A/N: Wow, this story really took off, thank you all [insert heart here], it really does make my heart feel warm c: I guess I should point out since not many people have read the managa that towards the end Hikaru dyes his hair ash grey so people can tell him and Kaoru apart. Really Hikaru is about 25 and Kagome is 24 in this story. Sorry for some confusion c: Because you have been all such wonderful readers and reviewers I'm updating a bit early c: I guess I'll make this an every time thing. See how well the newest updated chapter goes and then update with another chapter later if I deem them good enough. Two chapter's per day I update at most, ok? Review please c: and if you have any ideas please do share with me.
