Chapter 6: Stalker's Vengeance
It had been a week since Kagome had found the note on her pillow, nothing had happened but Kagome still had the feeling of always being watched. It was Saturday and Kagome was getting ready to go with Keade to the doctors to see how well her eyes were coming along. After, Kagome was going to go to the fair that came to town with Sango, Miroku, and Inuyasha. She was so excited that for the first time since she found the note Kagome wasn't worried about Naraku.
With her hand on the wall for guidance Kagome made her way to the kitchen to wait for Sango. Sango was going to go with them to the doctors then Keade was going to drop the girls off at the fair to meet up with the boys. Kagome couldn't sit still, she fiddled with her folded up walking stick in her lap, drummed her hands on the table, and tried to rub wrinkles from her shirt. Kagome jumped when the ring of the doorbell sounded through the quiet house. Standing up Kagome made her way to the door, and reached around for the doorknob. Feeling the polished metal come in contact with her hand Kagome pulled open the door slightly, "Hello." "Hey Kagome it's Sango" "Hi, come on in, we're almost ready to go" Kagome said.
The girls went back to the kitchen and talked about what they were going to do at the fair until Keade came, then they got into Keade's car and headed to the doctors. They all sat in the waiting room, Kagome could smell the stale air of the office, and imagined how plain looking it was. The girls went back to talking about the fair until Kagome's name was called.
Kagome, Sango, and Keade made they're way into doctor Lee's office. Kagome sat on the exam table running her hands over the scratchy paper over the fabric, while Sango stood, and Keade sat in the only available chair. They didn't wait long for doctor Lee to come, he walked in with a chart in his hands. "So Kagome you're here to see how your eyes are healing right," Kagome only nodded. "Well lets have a look then" and Kagome could here him pick something up and walk over to her. Doctor Lee began to shine a light into each of her eyes, then she could hear him scribble things onto paper. "Well this is certainly very good news, your eyes seem to be healing very well. They are even responding to light stimuli." "What does that mean doctor, will Kagome get her sight back" asked Keade? "What this means is that very soon Kagome should start to get her sight back. It will probably start out as quick flashes, that will last longer each time until her vision is back permanently. With the rate your eyes are healing Kagome you could start getting flashes right now even."
Once they were back in the car a grin started to form on Kagome's face, it had finally sunk in that she would get her sight back. Throughout the entire car ride to the fair grounds Kagome couldn't stop smiling. When they finally arrived and Keade dropped them off Sango hugged Kagome "I'm so glad you are getting your sight back" "me to" replied Kagome. Sango led Kagome over to a bench where they waited for Miroku and Inuyasha. The girls didn't have to wait long for the boys to arrive, Kagome felt Sango stiffen beside and when she turned to ask what was wrong she felt a whoosh of air and the resounding smack of hand meeting someone's check. "ah, I live to savour these moments" Miroku sighed coming around to stand in front of the bench. Kagome giggled when she heard Sango huff beside her, then felt someone sit down beside her "Inuyasha" she questioned, "yah, it's me, you guys been waiting long." "Nope, just got here actually," Kagome answered.
They all got up and wandered into the fair. Between her three friends Kagome got a good idea about how wonderful the fair looked, and the smells were wonderful. Buttered popcorn, hotdogs and hamburgers, then there were the sounds, Kagome could hear the screams of people on rides, and the roar of the rollercoaster's and the whoosh of air as they passed overhead. They went and bought their ride tickets, then went on rides. Much to Sango's annoyance and Kagome's relief Miroku sat with Sango on rides so Kagome sat with Inuyasha.
Kagome didn't mind sitting beside Inuyasha, she felt safe with his weight beside her and his arm around the back of the seat they were in. He was being so nice to, trying to describe everything to her and holding her hand to guide her as they walked, not for the first time did Kagome wish to be able to see him or her other friends. As she thought about that she smiled, her eyes were healing and she would be able to see her friends soon.
They used up all of their ride tickets and decided to play some games, Kagome stayed to the side cheering the others on since she couldn't play the games because they required for her to see. Inuyasha realized after they had played a few games that Kagome couldn't play them, but then he got an idea. "Hey guys let's go play ball toss" Inuyasha said. The others agreed, and they bought 20 balls. Inuyasha explained that they had to toss the balls onto the table with holes in it, if the ball roled into a hole with a color border they would win a prize, different colors meant different sizes of prizes. First went Sango aiming for the hole that meant jumbo prize, then Miroku tried for the same hole, then Inuyasha. "Okay Kagome your turn" Inuyasha exclaimed. "umm, Inuyasha I can't see where to throw the ball, I'm blind remember" Kagome sarcastically pointed out. "I'm not stupid, I know your blind, would you just come here" with that Inuyasha grabbed Kagome's hand and pulled her towards him. He placed a ball in her hand and asked her what size she wanted to try to win, "jumbo" Kagome said with a smirk. Inuyasha turned Kagome slightly so she was aiming the whole with that prize color "Okay you only need to throw it about this hard," Inuyasha took Kagome's arm and swung it so she would know how much power to use.
Kagome hesitated then shrugged, 'what's the worst that could happen, I miss' and she lightly threw the ball. Kagome could hear the clink as it hit the table, she held her breath, the others seemed to tense around her, they shouted come on, come on, then sighed in defeat. "Kagome you almost got it in the jumbo prize slot" Sango said, "really" she questioned "yah you were one away" Miroku added. They continued playing, with Inuyasha to help Kagome aim. When they ran out of balls none of them had won, so they decided to go sit down and get something to eat.
They walked around until they found a table beside a place selling pizza, they all sat down with a sigh of relief to be off their feet. "Man, I am so hungry, how about you guys." Everyone nodded their heads in agreement, then Inuyasha and Miroku got up to get pizza for everyone. "So Kagome, I saw how nice Inuyasha was being, and how you two have been holding hands, is something going on you want to tell me." Sango said while elbowing Kagome a little. Kagome blushed slightly, "no, it's nothing like that, he was only making sure I didn't walk into anything, he is capable of being nice you know." Then Kagome got a wicked grin, "What about you and Miroku, I haven't heard you slapping him as much as usual, and he seems to be acting like a gentleman for once. Is there something I need to know." Sango was spluttering and stammering, and even though Kagome couldn't see her she new Sango would be blushing like mad.
The boys chose that moment to return and Miroku seeing Sango's blush asked "you lovely ladies weren't talking about me now were you?" "Well actually" Kagome began but was cut off by Sango elbowing her harder this time and saying, "No, why would we talk about you Miroku." Inuyasha just shook his head and sat down, handing one of the plates of pizza he carried to Kagome, who thanked him, then began to eat his. Through a mouthful of pizza he whispered to Kagome "That was so mean to do to Sango," Kagome replied, "yah, but it was so fun."
They stayed at the fair for a little while longer, then decided they were tired and headed towards Inuyasha's car. They had to walk down the street a little to get to Inuyasha's car so Inuyasha was holding Kagome's hand to guide her with Sango and Miroku in front of them. They were all walking in comfortable silence when someone came up pushing Kagome away from Inuyasha and latching onto his arm instead. "Ughh, get off me Kikyo" said an angry Inuyasha as Sango went and helped Kagome up. "What Inuyasha, I just thought you would like to hang out with me instead of some stupid blind girl." Kikyo cooed at Inuyasha. "Kikyo, I would go to hell and back before I ever hang out with you, not get off my arm." Inuyasha pushed Kikyo off his arm then went to stand next to Kagome and the others. "Fine I see how it is, she's tricked you all into feeling sorry for her, and she's stolen you away from me Inuyasha. I warned you once to stay away from my Inuyasha girl, this time you will severely regret not listening to my earlier advice," sneered Kikyo as she walked away.
Soon as she left Inuyasha turned to Kagome, "don't listen to anything she says Kagome, she's had this thing for me forever and doesn't seem to realize I hate her guts. Kikyo's just stupid, and if she bothers you or does anything to you she'll regret it." Kagome smiled up in Inuyasha's direction, what Kikyo had said had hurt but having Inuyasha and the others discard what she said so quickly erased any doubts that they only pitied her. "Come on guys lets get out of here," Kagome said, then linked arms with Inuyasha and pulled him forward slightly, he began to walk and Sango and Miroku followed them to the car.
It didn't take long for them all to pile into the car and set off towards Kagome's grandmother's house, it was the closest so they decided to drop Kagome off first. When they arrived Kagome said goodnight to everyone and got out, she walked up the driveway using her walking stick and went to unlock the front door but found it was already unlocked. 'Wow that's not at all like Keade, maybe she fell asleep and forgot to lock it' Kagome thought. Walking inside Kagome closed the door and locked it. "oh drat I left my jacket in Inuyasha's car, oh well I will have to get it from him Monday. Kagome folded up her walking stick and used her hand to guide her to the kitchen, "Keade you in here, I'm home" said Kagome, "Sorry Keade's not here right now, it's just you and me Kags," said a deep masculine voice as Kagome was backhanded hard across the face.
Meanwhile Inuaysha was driving Sango to her place a few houses down from Kagome when he happened to look over to the seat Kagome had recently occupied and noticed she had left her jacket. "Oh, hey guys do you mind if I head back to Kagome's quickly she left her jacket here, and were not very far yet," Inuyasha asked. Sango and Miroku said quick yeses then went back to their argument about whether girls like to be groped in public or not, Inuyasha just shook his head at them.
Inuyasha pulled into Kagome's driveway grabbed her jacket and walked to the door. Just as he was about to knock he heard a loud crash and a man yelling, then he heard Kagome shouting, another crash and Kagome's scream. Without any hesitation inuyasha tried the door but it was locked, so he threw down Kagome's jacket and tried to ram the door down with his shoulder, but it wouldn't budge. Miroku and Sango must have seen him trying to break through the door because after his third attempt Miroku came up beside him and together rammed through the door. What they saw was not what they expected.
