Part of your world Chapter 7
^_^
It was 3 days later. Inuyasha came home, hoping to Din (er, God, gomen, reflex) that he wouldn't find a corpse waiting for him. He knew she would feel betrayed by him. He hoped she wasn't THAT depressed yet.
He unlocked the door to his apartment and founf her waiting within. HE began to speak, but she held a finger up to his lips. Then she opened her mouth and sang.
"The first noel, the angels did say, was to certain poor shepherd in feilds where they lay"
She wavered a little, uncertain, confused. The main differnce between her and Kikyo was that Kikyo was a strong singer, whereas Kagome was still unsure of herself. 'no,' thought Inuyasha. 'the main difference is that Kikyo's dead.'
"noooel, noel, noel, noel, born is the king of issrial."
Then she gt caught up in the emotions and love and passion and belted out, 10 times stronger than before,
"nooel, noel, NOEL, NOE-EL, born is the kiiing of i-i-is ri el!"
She fell silent. Inuyasha was moved to tears by her performance. 'Kikyo never sounded that good' he thought. He decided to tell her this, but all he could manage was
"Kikyo..."
She looked as though she had been slapped. She immedialty lost al confidence the song may have given her.
"Kagome,... i didn't mean.. i only meant... what I meant to say was... "
"no, I understand, it's her song, of course you thought of her, I'm only her replacement after all." she said mournfully, sounding more like herself.
"Kagome, of course not! I love you, Kagome."
She began to cry.
"It's not you, it's the song talking, you're talking to Kikyo, you think you love me because I sound like her..."
"Kaogme..." but there was no arguing logic like that. He dropped it. "Kagome, I've been talking to the police."
She looked up through tears.
"They know who killed Lilith."
'Oh god, they're coming after me!' though Kagome.
"And it wasn't you." Inuyasha continued. Kagome began to protest. Inuyasha held up a hand to stop her. "No, let me finish. The man that killed her has been hiding from them for the last few years. He killed a few other girls before and after Lilith. Mostly teenage girls. He let them out during the day, but he convinced them they needed him. Runaways, mostly. One girl ran away from him to stay with her boyfriend. He found her when they broke up and took her in again. She left one other time, but returned the next day. Witnesses suspect he was giving her drugs, and she returned because of the withdrawl symptoms. They report cases of... abuse.... you know. They were all found dead some time later. Lilith was the different one in the chain. What could he offer a young girl? What was she missing? That led to his identity. They have his name, photos, former addresses... but he stays one step ahead of them always. Kagome.... you could help, you could bring him to justice, and be forgiven your thoughtlessness."
Forgiven.... a new concept for Kagome. She had never considered forgiveness before.
"Who is he?"
"You know. You can guess. Think about it. He lures young girls in... and what he had to offer Lilith, the one thing she lacked, was... a father."
"My father?"
"Kagome, I know you two are close, but... Kagome? Where are you going?"
"He killed Lilith. I am going to avenge her death."
She had grabbed a kitchen knife while he spoke, and was leaving. He rushed to stop her, but was blown back by some invisible force. By the time he could get up, she was gone.
"Damn miko powers!" he swore before rushing to the phone. "Officer Sango? I need another favor..."

I am gonna write the next chapter now.
