Chapter 13- Mystery Mask

…..

...Kai?

I stood in complete shock – no…amazement.

Here he was.

Kai.

Memory of what had happened during the Masquerade Ball had played in mind. Meeting Kai, talking to him, dancing with him…and just like that, he disappeared. I wanted to ask him…I needed to know…just who exactly WAS Kai?

Ever so slowly, I took a step, the grass, silently crushing under my shoes…until I reached him.

He only stood, not uttering a single word, the same masquerade mask on his face.

I reached him…a small smile had been stretched on his face. Beyond the mask, I saw the same purple eye color as I did on the day of the Masquerade Ball. ...Here goes….

"Who…Who are you really, Kai?"

He didn't answer, but took a step back. I took a step forwards.

He had been tall…like Naraku and Sesshomaru had been.

I reached for his mask…and soon found he'd gripped my hands before I had the slightest chance to even try to take the mask off his face. I said nothing. He had been silent as well…

"Until we meet once again…Kagome…"

"Kai! Wai-!" Before I could even tell he to wait…he had been gone with the wind in a flash.

Literally.

The Missing Masquerade

I stood at the base of the house starring into the sky. I had to think. Who exactly was Kai…and most importently, how did he dissapper like he did? He was literally gone with the wind! And what he had said, 'Until we meet once again…' Did that mean that he had been planning on coming back anytime soon? During the Masquerade Ball, he did say he went to Chrono-Spaces High School, and he did have long hair..but what color was it? And his eyes…that shocking purple color – could they just be contacts or something? In the dark of night, it had been very hard to tell out the rest of his facial features…but…according to his voice, he could be ethier Naraku, OR Sesshomaru.

…But which one was he?

…And what if he was neither? Then how do I find him? The senior year would be coming to an end soon, and I didn't have much time, I needed to find Kai before I actually lose him…and the thought of never seeing him again…I don't know, it just doesn't sit well with me…

The Missing Masquerade

Once I had decided I'd had enough thinking time and went inside, what I found…shocked me to new bounds. In front of me, (in the living room) sitting on the couch had been my friend the 'Wolf' Kouga watching TV with the school renowned pervert of the school, Miroku.

"Wha-!"

Before I could even ask the two why they had been here, Inuyasha stepped into the room, and walked straight over to the two – and before I could ask Inuyasha why they had been there, a soaking-wet Naraku wearing only a towel stepped in front of me.

"Na-Na-Naraku? Why are you…"

He finished off my sentence, all while wrapping his arms around my shoulders and pulling me close, "I just finished taking a shower, Kagome. Why else would I be dressed as such?" I knew my face had become beet-red by then. And as if on cue, Kouga had noticed my presence, along with Inuyasha, and Miroku.

"Hey Kagome!" Kouga spoke loudly, "haven't seen you in a long bit! Why' ya hangin' over at 'yasha's place?"

Inuyasha spoke next, "Huh, we were wondering when you'd show up, where ya been Higerashi?"

Miroku spoke last, "So this is the infamous Kagome Higerashi from school eh? Nice to finally meet you!...so why are you here anyway?"

Before I was even allowed to answer, another voice coming from the side entrance to the living room started a short and sweet explanation, "A school health project," Sesshomaru said while walking in wearing nothing more then…his pajama pants (I was sure that my head was bloated by now)

"So," Kouga started, "I hear in school you two aren't on very 'friendly' terms with each other, how's this project of yours even gonna get done?"

"We…" Sesshomaru spoke, "…we are on suitable terms…" he looked to me, "is that right Higer-" he paused, "I mean…Kagome?"

"Yeah," I said, "were okay."

After a moment of silence from our now large group, Naraku broke the silnce, "Kagome, I hope you know you'll be sleeping with me tonight, so you should hurry to the shower and change."

…My face heated up almost instantly.
