Chapter 37: Suprise Visitor

"W-what? Who are you? Where's Kaede?"

His eyes were red, Kagome noted, as he appraised her form. Somehow, the thought of him checking her out, made her cringe in disgust.

He stood up and walked up to her, murmuring, "You're perfect."

Her throat dry, Kagome swallowed "Where is Kaede?"

The stranger looked up in surprise, "You mean that old hag?"

When she nodded, he sneered, "She sent you away, tried to hide you, didn't she?"

Kagome took a step back, frightened, "What?"

"Don't lie, girl!" He snarled, and slapped her across the face, making her stumble and fall down, bleeding.

A.N: I'm sorry for the late update, but I've been going through a lot of family problems and shit and all the tension has given me severe writers block. However, I will update this story daily though from now on.

Also, the lack of reviews has been really disheartening. Imagine me in a corner of the room, sulking. Yeah, not a pretty picture is it. -_-
