"Words"- talking

'Words'- thoughts

-------

Darkness. That's all she could see. Pitch black darkness. But through this darkness she could hear screaming-screaming of agony and anger. The young girl's ears strained to hear who was screaming. But then a chorus of other screams joined in the young child's screams. Then the screams became quiet as another voice became clear.

"Shut up you little brats!" a male's voice said, then a crack erupted throughout the room and the screaming of children also came after a moment.

"No!" the girl screamed.

-------

Kagome shot up from her bed, and then clutching her head, she fell back upon onto her pillow once again

"Son of a bitch…" She mumbled, as she rubbed her head that she hit the ceiling with. Kagome slowly sat up this time to not hit her head again.

'What was with that dream?' She thought, 'A warning? Or maybe am I just stressed out a little too much…' Kagome looked down the right side of the three-bed stack that she had to sleep on, which she felt like, Huey, Dewey and Luey sleeping on, to look out to the growing lighter sky. Kagome's brow went into a look of confusion as she saw how light the sky was. She looked over towards the door to see and the red numbers read back to her 6:54.

She picked up her pillow and threw it to the bed nearest the bed.

"Ow! What?" The girl mumbled, as she roused from sleep as the object hit her.

Kagome simply gave her a look that said 'Oh-please' and she pointed to the clock.

"AHHHHHH!" The girl screamed as she jumped out of bed and ripped open the door, "I'm gonna be late for school!"

"What's with her?"

Kagome just shrugged her shoulders and said, "I don't know, since it's Saturday and all…"

"No it's Friday." Another girl said turning over to sleep.

"Oh, well in that case, you might want to hurry up." Kagome said as she went out the doorway.

"Why? Can't I please get a good night sleep for-" A girl started but Kagome cut her off.

"Because it's what, seven now."

"WHAT?" were most of her responses and a couple of bangs, from girls falling out of bed.

Kagome chuckled to herself as the girls fought their way to use the bathroom, for showers. 'This is what happens when you try and put eight teenage girls under one roof…' Kagome thought sadly.

-------

Kagome ducked as a ball whizzed over her head, and in response, she threw the rubber dodge ball that was in her hand to the person who threw the other ball at her. A loud echo of rubber hitting a solid object was here answer that she hit the person as she got back up from the hard wooden floor.

"Nice shot Kagome!" Sango said, as she dodged more of the rubber balls from hitting herself, and throwing a couple also.

"Thanks you too!" Kagome answered back. It was girls against guys and it was down to just five people and you could guess who was left.

"Why don't you just give up girly's?" Kouga said with his words icy white with attitude.

Kagome looked at Sango, her eyebrow raised. Then she looked back at Kouga and snapped back. "Who you calling girly, cross dresser?"

Kouga's eyes turned into slits as a couple chuckles erupted throughout the gymnasium.

"She's got you there, eh, Kouga?" Inuyasha said as he threw another ball at the last two opponents left.

"Shut up mutt." Kouga grumbled.

"Something tells me she was right and hit a nerve." Miroku teased.

"That means for you too human." Kouga snapped.

Just then a ball hit him square between the legs and he went down faster than a couple of bricks.

"Oops, my bad." Kouga heard Kagome say.

"She's dead." Kouga mumbled, as he huddled in fetal position.

"It's not like you got anything there anyways wolf-boy!" Sango yelled from across the floor.

A couple more snickers were heard throughout the gym but were hardly noticed from the laughing of the guy who always gloated on how much better he was than other people getting taken down by a girl.

Then Kagome was standing over him, a smirk on her face.

"What are you smirkin' at?" Kouga moaned out as he rolled onto his back to sit up.

Kagome shook her head in disgust and sighed. "Still cocky I see…" She said quietly. Then she looked right into his eyes and said, "You know, I just think that it's funny that you got taken down by the number one thing that you hate."

"What? Females who are too proud of themselves?" Kouga said. A couple of kids chuckled but quieted down when they saw the scowl on Kagome's face.

"Okay maybe second thing then and I wouldn't be talkin'." Kagome said losing her patience, "A Half Demon."

Kouga gave her a glare then looked down at the ground as he stood back up. "Just my luck. A hot new girl comes to my school and she's another worthless fucking mutt." Kouga mumbled but not quiet enough. For when he looked back up at Kagome, her fist was the only thing he saw and the gymnasium-matted wall meeting his once air born body was all he felt. But as he landed he felt a searing pain erupt throughout his face as he heard Kagome growl.

"Don't…ever…call…me…a…worthless…mutt…" Kagome grinded out through barricaded teeth. Her eyes flashed from a hot pink with blue to the regular white with brown as she glared at the now shaking back and forth Kouga.

Sango looked at her friend to see her shaking in anger and felt a different aura coming off of her. "Kagome," She asked quietly as she came closer, "Are you okay?" She rested her hand on her shoulder to jump back when she heard a soft whimper come from Kagome.

"Yeah fine. Just need some fresh air." Kagome mumbled as she ran out the gymnasium doors towards the girl's locker room.

Sango took a step towards her and extended her right hand towards her friends when she stopped. Something red was on her hand and was dripping off. She pulled it closer to her face for closer inspection and gasped when the smell, and sight, of fresh blood met her nose and eyes.

"Sango? What happened?" Miroku asked concerned as he walked over to her.

"I don't know…" Sango said trying to figure out what was wrong with her. "It doesn't feel like there's a cut."

"Because there isn't." Inuyasha said, still staring at the door, which Kagome had just left out of.

"What do you mean? There has to be-" Rin started but was cut off.

"There isn't one on Sango. It's on Kagome." Inuyasha pointed his head towards the floor; Sango and Rin gasped when a trail of blood droplets met their eyes.

"But how is it we couldn't see-" Rin started again but was cut off this time by the Physical Education teacher saying, "Someone call the nurse down here!"

"I'll explain later." Inuyasha mumbled to his friends as a frenzy of people surrounded Kouga.

-------

"Well try harder, damn it!" Naraku screamed into the phone. He slammed it down onto the cradle for what seemed the umpteenth time that day.

'Is it so much to ask for? Just one person to follow after some worthless Half Bred female?' Naraku's mind screamed. He put his head in his hands and closed his eyes. But they reopened again a moment later when his phone rang again. He picked it up.

"What?" He ground out.

"Jeez, I call you with good news and you're yellin' at me as if it's a bad thing." A females voice said.

"What good news?" Naraku asked ignoring the first part.

The girl scowled on the other end of the line and snorted in disgust. "Well you'll be happy to know that the Jewel is active."

Naraku almost fell out of his chair with the news. "Please tell me you're serious."

"Would I ever lie to you?" The girl said seductively.

"I owe you three nights." Naraku said smiling.

"Yes you do." The girl said back.

Naraku gently laid the phone down then picked it up again to be taking to his secretary. "Emily?"

"Yes sir?" She asked meekly.

"Can you send up a bottle of wine? I feel a little celebration is in order."

-------

"Okay start explaining." Sango said, as she set her glass down on the table.

"Jeez Sango. Give the guy some time to at least sit down." Miroku said, walking out of the room to get another two liter of Pepsi for his guests and himself.

Inuyasha chuckled. "It's okay Miroku. But if you don't hurry, I'm gonna start explainin' without you."

"Hold on, can't hear you." Miroku said from upstairs in his kitchen.

The three guests in the basement laughed.

"What's so funny?" Miroku asked as he came down his wooden steps again.

"Nothing. Just sit down. Sango's a little anxious to get some answers here." Rin said.

"Shut up Rin." Sango said playfully, but not denying what her friend had said.

Inuyasha chuckled but started anyways as he friends got settled.

"As you three know, some Demon and Humans think that it's disgusting how a Human and a Demon can get together to make a Half Demon. And because of this, they think that they should destroy us. Some have even made it a sport as to see how many you can kill before getting caught by the police." Inuyasha said.

Rin gasped, while Sango whispered, "Oh my dear Gods…"

"Yes sadly, that's how life is for most of us. And Kagome must have it the worst. For you see, because of these groups some Half Demons have to get concealer spells be put on them to hide their Half Demon, or their true, form from everyone."
Inuyasha went on.

"But how?" Miroku asked.

"Oh, you can put it on anything. A shirt, a pair of sneakers, a necklace, hell, I've heard of some people having tattoos of them being put on."

Sango and Rin stiffened and looked at each other; a conversation being held that the two guys were clueless about.

"What?" they asked.

The two girls looked at them and then Sango coughed slightly while Rin looked away shyly.

"Kagome has a tattoo." Sango mumbled.

"Where? Over her heart?" Inuyasha asked stunned. 'Why would she want to hide her true form forever?' Inuyasha's mind asked.

"No." Rin said shaking her head, she brought her gaze back over to the boys and sat up straighter. She pointed to the skin above her diaphragm and said, "Here."

Inuyasha's eyes became wide and looked over to his right. After a moment he snapped his head back over to the girls and asked quickly, "What was it shaped like?"

"Umm…" Rin thought.

"Shit! I know this! Come on Sango! Think! Damn it!" Sango said while hitting her forehead in an attempt to remember. "You can only see half of it but you can make it out a little…"

"Wasn't it a number…or a letter?" Rin asked looking at Sango.

"Was it an 'N'?" Inuyasha asked, hoping that her was wrong.

"That's what it was! A fancy cursive 'N'! With flames in the background!" Sango said, as she snapped her fingers and pointed and Inuyasha.

Inuyasha sat back against his chair, as he stared blankly at the floor.

"Inuyasha?" Miroku asked. "You okay?" He put his left hand on Inuyasha's right shoulder. Inuyasha slowly brought his gaze over to his friend, his wide in surprise.

He bolted up and said as he ran up the stairs, "Miroku! I'm using your phone!"

"For what?" Miroku asked as he followed the Half Demon up.

Sango and Rin looked at each other again and ran up the stairs after the two boys. The pair of girls met the boys in the kitchen; Inuyasha dialing a number and explaining to Miroku while Miroku listened.

"…And Sesshomaru is going to probably to want to know this." Inuyasha said as he leaned against the counter to face his friends.

"Sesshomaru?" Rin asked.

"His brother." Sango answered.

"Are you serious?" Rin said, disbelief in her voice.

"Yeah, why?" Sango asked.

"I-" Rin began but was cut off by Inuyasha.

"Yeah, Kari?" Inuyasha said, "Is Sesshomaru there?" There was a pause. "Can I talk to him?" A longer pause. "Look! I have some new information on that case that you guys have been working on!" A short pause the he said calmly, "Thank you."

He put his left hand on the counter and started drumming his fingers as he waited for his brother to pick up. Sango and Rin went over to the kitchen table and took a seat. Miroku leaned against the table next to Rin, who was closest person to Inuyasha sitting in a chair.

"Sesshomaru?" Inuyasha asked hopeful. "Yeah yeah I know, I interrupted your meeting but-" The pause was a little longer and Inuyasha's face tightened in anger. "Look sorry okay? But I thought you would like to know I found the link." A very short pause was taken then Inuyasha started again. "Not he, she. She has it." A short pause. "You better talk to Sango on that one." Pause. "Fine." Inuyasha walked over to Sango and lifted the phone to her. "Here, he wants to talk to you."

Sango gingerly took the cord phone and lifted the warm receiver to her ear. "Yes?" She said.

"Is this Sango?" A male voice asked over the phone.

"Yes…" Sango said quietly.

"This is Sesshomaru, the head of the Police Department. Who is this girl that my little dork of a brother is talking about?"

Sango almost dropped the phone. "Kagome? What would she have to do with? -" Sango began but was cut short by Sesshomaru.

"Wait. Kagome Higarashi?" He asked.

"Yes, how do you know her?" Sango said, a little surprised that this guy knew her friends last name.

"I'll explain when Inuyasha brings you, and your other friends to our house immediately.

-------

"The nerve of him! I swear! And people wonder why I don't want a boyfriend!" Maybe because it's of fuckin' dick faces like that asshole Kouga!" Kagome mumbled underneath her breath as she walked down the street towards the orphanage. After a few more steps Kagome reached over and touched the shoulder that Sango had grabbed not an hour before. The blood had managed to seep through her shirt and the cut was now going to be a scar with a haunting image on her back as well in her memories.

Just because she broke the guys nose doesn't mean he has to pull out a knife and stab her in the back. Then Kagome chuckled when she remembered when she also had kicked him in the groin.

'Okay maybe I did deserve this then.' Kagome thought.

The bear Demon had come to the orphanage the night before, looking for her, for the great Naraku. And because Kagome didn't want to wake anybody up, she followed him outside to see what he had to say. But when he was supposed to give Kagome to Naraku, she went berserk and started thrashing about; resulting in him getting hit in the groin, the diaphragm and in his nose.

Kagome sighed in annoyance. 'Sometimes it's hard to be a Half Demon and part-' but a child's voice interrupted her thoughts.

"Kagome! You have a three guys waiting for you inside!" Ayumi said.

Kagome gave her a spectacle look and started up the pathway. Most of the kids that were left from being moved to another orphanage were playing outside.

Kagome walked through the front door a moment later and yelled into the house, "Mistress Keade! I'm home!" She threw off her shoes into the heap of others by the doorway.

"Kagome! Can you come into the living room, dear?" Keade's voice said two rooms over from where Kagome was standing in the hallway.

"Sure." Kagome said as she shrugged her shoulders.

Kagome walked up to the living room to stop dead in her tracks when she saw the six faces staring at her.

The oldest make stood up and started walking towards her.

"Kagome? Hello I am Sesshomaru, Head of the Police Department. Can I ask you a few questions?" Sesshomaru said.

Kagome looked at him straight in the eyes and said, "No. I'm getting more innocent people hurt."

"But Kagome-" Keade began.

"No! You now exactly what happened last time! And I had to go and do something because these people-" Kagome pointed towards Sesshomaru- "wouldn't believe us!"

"Yes we understand that we have ignored you-" Sesshomaru tried again.

"You did more than that! You fucking laughed in my face! Now if you excuse me, I have some kids that want me to play outside with them." Kagome then bowed in respect, spun on her heel and started her way upstairs.

"Kagome-" Keade said, but was cut off.

"It's okay, we'll talk to her." Inuyasha offered.

"Yeah sure, but what about?" Miroku said.

"I'll explain outside." Inuyasha said as he stood up.
