When Kagome finally came to, she could hear someone moving around
next to her. She kept her eyes firmly shut, because she was afraid of what
she might see if she opened them. At that very moment, there were only two
things that she was absolutely sure of. One was that the back of her neck
hurt very much, and the other was that she was lying on something soft.
" I see you're awake now. You can go ahead and open your eyes", whispered a familiar voice. Slowly, very slowly, Kagome opened her eyes. There was standing over top of her, with his face very close to hers, the mysterious Kobayashi Yuki. " AAAHH", she screamed and slapped his face away. The boy quickly backed away from her and said angrily, " Hey, keep it down. I can't have everyone knowing that I'm in here." " Where is here?", she whispered softly. " Don't be stupid! If you'd only look around, you will find that we're in your room.", he replied.
Sitting up, she took a swift glance around her. The familiar, safe walls of her bedroom were a comforting sight. Confused, Kagome asked, " What kind of a bad guy are you? And what did you do to my neck?" He scowled, and said, " Who ever said I was a bad guy? Sorry about your neck, but I did give you a warning." She opened her mouth to ask him if he was some kind of lunatic, but was rudely interrupted. " Listen, I don't have all day so don't ask me anymore silly questions. I will be asking all the questions from here on out.", he said slightly annoyed.
Kagome glared at him, because he was really starting to remind her of Inu Yasha. He pulled something out of his pocket and threw it at her from across the room. The bottle that contained the jewel shards landed in her lap. " What in the hell happened to the Shikon no Tama? Why is it in pieces?", he yelled. She could feel herself blushing and lowered her head. " I.. I guess that's kinda my fault, Kobayashi san.", she said apologetically.
He cut her off again, before she could tell him the whole story. "Damn", he muttered, " I really needed the thing to be whole. And stop calling me Kobayashi san. We are going to get to know each other really well so you can drop the formalities, Kagome. Yuki will do just fine."
" Just what are you talking about", Kagome asked. " It's obvious that you're collecting the shards. So, from now on, you will be collecting them for me.", Yuki answered. " And if I don't particularly feel like helping you?", she questioned. The boy shook his head and said sadly, " That'd be too bad. I'd hate for anything to happen to your family. I've met them and they are really quite nice. If you don't cooperate with me I will have no choice but to hurt them."
She leaped off the bed, suddenly to angry to think straight. " You leave them out of this!", she yelled. Yuki vanished, then appeared right in front of her. He grabbed her hands and stared down at her with serious gold eyes. " Do as I say and I promise that no harm will come to them.", he assured her. " I'll find them for you", she said somewhat defeated.
The sound of her mother's voice broke the tension. He let go of her hands and said, "Good, very good. Then I'll be seeing you around, Kagome." Before he disappeared for the second and final time, Yuki flashed her a wide smile. That was the first time she saw his sharp fangs.
Kagome stood quietly in the middle of her room, taking deep breaths, and trying to calm down. It wouldn't do to have her mom see her so shaken up. A minute later there was a knock on her door. "Come in, Mom.", she said quickly. The door opened, and her mother stepped inside the room. " I just came to see if you were doing alright. You passed out near the shrine. Sota had to help me carry you inside. Kagome, you shouldn't work yourself so hard when you're helping Inu Yasha.", she said as she smiled brightly.
Kagome apologized, and gave her mom a hug. " You should do nothing but rest for the remainder of the day. I'll wake you up when its time for dinner.", said her mother before she left the room. Once her mom was gone, she laid back down on her bed and began to think about all the trouble that she was in.
(A/N: I'm sorry that the first two chapters were somewhat hard to read. Hopefully, this chapter will be easier on the eyes. And just to let everyone know, this will be an Inu Yasha/Kagome fic. They are so cute!! Thanks to anyone who reviewed. ^_^ )
