Hey, what's up? I know, I said I'd update it when I got seven reviews, but I got kinda busy. Anyways, thank you for all your patience, so to compensate you for all your support and patience, I made sure to make this chapter extra-long!

My Guardian Angel





By Hereiko Nakashima









"Are you okay?" He whispered as he held out his hand. Kagome nodded nervously as she smiled weakly as she took his hand, her blue eyes meeting his golden ones. His hand is so warm.. She thought to herself nervously. So warm...



"Um. yes... I think so."



A wry smile spread across his warm face as he wiped a speck of dirt out of her face.



"Good."



He turned around as he ran from the direction where he came from.



" See you around!" he called over his shoulder as he disappeared into the distance.



Kagome jumped up as she whispered, "But.. Who..are you?"



But by then he was gone. Gone.. Just like that.

Junko bowed before Kikyou as she whispered, "I'm sorry Kikyou-sama, but we weren't able to finish the job."



A dangerous gleam lit it girl's stormy gray eyes as she whispered, "What?"



She stared at Junko dangerously as she slowly circled around her, like a shark does before a kill. "Will you please repeat that, Junko? I'm sorry, I don't think I heard you correctly the first time."



She glared at the girl as she said, menacingly, " Will you please repeat what you just said?"



Junko closed her eyes as she whispered, "I'm sorry."



The sharp echo of the contact against skin to skin rang out throughout the hall, as the other girls jumped in shock.



"I gave you such an easy task to carry out, and yet you weren't able to do it?!" Kikyou shrieked as she kicked a fallen Junko.



"What is so hard about beating a simple, stupid girl?"



Junko winced in pain as Kikyou kicked her once more. She knew this would happen. Kikyou was merciless; she expected perfection and nothing less. Her eyes closed as she remembered her mother's warnings about this job.





*flashback*



an old woman's eyes brim with tears as she whispers, "Junko! You musn't!"



a younger looking Junko smiles as she cups the elderly woman's face.



"It's okay. As long as you'll be okay, I'll be happy mom."



She giggles as her younger siblings jump on her back.



"Besides, it's my choice. This is what I want to do."



* End of flashback*



Yes, it was my choice, Junko thought as she braced herself of another blow. I chose this path. I chose, because I had a choice.



There were distant rumors that all the other girls who had taken it had ended up dead-or worse. They had all been found in dark alleys, their corpses bloody and disfigured beyond recognition. And those who lived , lived a terrible life. One in which they would be deprived of all their senses, and the only life they would be live would be a half-life-that of the damned.



But this is my choice, she thought as she recalled those rumors.



"What's your excuse for this failure?!", Kikyou shrieked as she threw at book at her.



"what could have possibly stopped you from doing something that even the simplest child could do?!"



But I need the money, she thought despratly as she rose to her feet to bow to Kikyou.



"It was. I-Inu Yasha-sama.", she stammered as she struggled to stay up.



Kikyou's face went pale at the sound of the dreaded name. No. It can't be.., she thought weakly, with horror growing in her breast. It's impossible!



She slowly sat down on her cushioned chair as she said, weakly, "Oh, then forgive me for jumping to conclusions Junko."



Her eyes looked slightly dazed as she turned to look at Junko. "Then.. You may go now."



Junko nodded in response as she slowly padded out of the room. Her cool green eyes closed as she thought, But.. That's not true. that's not the reason.. It's something else.. It's something else.





~*~





Kikyou's eyes narrowed as she heard the door shut behind her.



"Damn you!" she screamed angrily as she hurled a picture frame at the door.



Her eyes narrowed in cruel satisfaction as she saw it shatter against the door.



But I'm not happy..., she thought distantly to herself. I finally have everything.. Everything I ever wanted.. And yet I'm still not happy.



"It's all your fault," she whispered as tears finally spilled from her frozen eyes.



" It's all your fault."



I'm so sorry! I meant to have more IY/Kag fluff in this chappie! Please don't flame me! ack! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to make Kikyou so evil! (dodges flamethrowers being thrown at her) actually, if you think about it she's not that mean in this chapter. anyways, um.. I know this may be alittle too much to ask, but since I got 30 reviews for the first chappie. um I was wondering if you could do the same on the second.? Ack! That was just a suggestion! (dodges tens and thousands of unanimous objects being thrown at her)



By the way, if any of you are ever busy and have nothing better to do, please do me a favor and kinda r/r this one fic called Angel Reborn. please? I haven't been getting a whole lot of reviews for it...
