Chapter 4: Black eyes Blue Tears

Miroku sighed and tapped his pencil on top of the desk area and he repeated this act over and over. He hated math and now he was stuck in the class, he sighed again as the professor went on and on about this and about that. It went totally over his head and out the window at 180 degrees. He turned his attention to the girl in front of him, it was a youkai with pale skin and short cut cream-colored hair. She had black on red eyes, long claws, she was a neko youkai, elemental one at that she could control fire most of the time. She was a pretty neko and her ears where pointed like those of an elf, he smiled as her two tails with two black strips on the end sat to her side. She wore long black summers dress that had straps and small flowers on it. On her feet she wore sandals.

Miroku took his pencil and poked her in the back of the neck and she turned to look at him. "Nani?" she asked in a slightly annoyed tone and Miroku smiled and then stuck his pencil above his right ear. "Have you seem Kagome?" he asked and the neko youkai named Kirara shook her head sadly. "Ite, I haven't seen her in three days, I hope she's feeling alright. She hasn't came to the recording station either. I'm worried about her." Kirara sighed as she ran a hand through her shoulder length hair.

Miroku raised an eyebrow, "Maybe we should go and check up on her." He suggested and Kirara nodded, "Yeah, lets go now, besides class is half way over." She stated and closed her book and notebook, then placed them into her bag and stood up putting the sling of the bag around on shoulder and Miroku followed her out of the room.

A figure walked through the woods where animals and insect stay. The woods canopied around the person as she stepped out into the clearing revealing the figure to be a woman with short cut black hair that contained red highlights. She wore a simple pair of glasses over her hazel eyes. She was twenty-one by the looks of it and she wore a simple spaghetti-strap shirt that had a butterfly on it and a pair of hip huggers. Around her neck rested a chain necklace with a tooth on it.

She was the silent type and like her privacy very much. She was a human girl named Nankinmai and as she walked through the woods alone she heard sniffling. Stopping she raised an eyebrow and silently made her way to the source of the sound, she assumed it was a child that had gotten lost in the woods. It happened a lot, but to her surprise when she came to a cherry blossom tree she did not find a child there crying for its mother.

She found a young raven-haired girl; her hair was a mess with twigs sticking in and out either which way. Her head buried in her crossed arms that rest around her legs. From what Nankinmai could make out was that dried mud covered the girls legs and her once pea-green skirt was now torn and stained with dried blood. Her white blouse looked just like her skirt. The girl was in a terrible state and so Nankinmai walked towards her. "Hey you okay?" she asked and mentally kicked herself for the stupid question she just asked.

But she got a response from the girl, she looked up at Nankinmai with large blue-gray eyes that where red rimed from crying, her face once beautiful was now dirt stained and a cut upon her forehead that was bleeding and outlining the girls face. The girl moved away from Nankinmai as if she was afraid of something or someone. "I'm not going to hurt you." She stated and took note the girl was a year or two younger then her and pretty shaken up. "My names Nankinmai, I wont hurt'cha." She said with a slight smile and walked closer to her and the raven-haired girl stood up and leaned against the tree as tears poured from her face.

"He said he loved me . . . I don't want to go back, please. . . I-I . . . h- he . . . oh kami." She cried as she covered her face with her hands and fell back against the tree and slide down the truck and sat back down onto the cold ground and Nankinmai sat down at her level and put a hand on her shoulder. "Don't worry, I don't know what happened to you or why your out here. But everything will be alright, but we need to get you out of here and to a doctor." She said and then glanced up at the sky to see the clouds form above them and they where growing darker and darker every minute.

"And out of the weather, boy is it going to be a storm." She commented and looked down at the girl and reached into her pocket and pulled out a cell phone and looked at it. Then she stood up and moved a bit away from the girl and dialed a number and waits a moment until someone picked up. She heard the voice on the other line and she sighed. "Hey cousin I need you to come to the old woods, yeah know. Right. Hurry up okay, I just found someone here and she's pretty beat up. Right, okay see you in thirty minutes."

She then turned to the girl and helped her up, "Come on we need to make it to the road side where my cousin will met us."

"Ite, doctors . . . please." She said in almost a whisper and Nankinmai nodded, "Hai." She responded and with the help of Nankinmai they both walked to the edge of the woods to wait for their ride.

"Funny, no ones home." Miroku stated and looked at his companion, Kirara who was sniffing the air. "What's up?"

"Don't you smell it?"

"Smell what?" he asked and then took a deep breath and then coughed, "Wow, I didn't noticed that before."

"Yeah, it's a mix of blood and bleach." Kirara stated as her tails swung in annoyance. "Someone's trying to cover up something." She stated with narrow eyes and crossed her arms and glanced at Miroku, "Cover up? Why? What could Naraku and Kagome be hiding?"

"I highly doubt its Kago." She said and started walking back to Miroku's low rider and Miroku followed. "Then you mean Naraku is hiding something, that would explain Kagome's disappearance you don't think he . . ."

"Ite. Ite Miroku." She sighed and looked up at the sky as a raindrop fell onto her nose. "We better get going. It's going to storm." She stated as she said that instantly the rain began to pour down onto their heads like a waterfall.

Inu-Yasha pulled up the woods from where his cousin called him and tapped the wheel with his clawed fingers and then he saw the two girls emerge from the woods and what he saw he wish he never had. As his eyes grew wide with an unknown fear and a sense of protection and opened the car door and stepped out of the car and rushed to the girls and his heart stopped.

"K-Kagome?!"

With that the raven-haired beauty that he met in the recording station stared at him, he suddenly thought he heard music play, the song that he first heard her sing as she was walking down the hallway of the college, she thought she was alone that day, but she wasn't.

I think of you

whenever I listen to this song

it always used to be on when you drove me home

there isn't a sad love

you said so

If you love someone there is nothing else you need

song for me forever

I loved you

it made me want to cry

I miss you always

I just honestly made my choice

even if, saying god-bye

the two of us become a memory

"I-Inu-Yasha?" Kagome asked like she need to have reassured but she never heard the answer, for she black out.

Love Song- The song at the end of this chapter is from Tenchi Muyo In love2 (DISCLAIMER!) I know the song didn't go with the chapter well, but I loved the song so =P

Ite -no

Hai -yes

I would of asked my friend Isiss what would be best to hide the smell of blood and clean it, but I couldn't get a hold of her so I guessed bleach would do it..it fixes everything else lol...no like shes done anything. . . .she just watches to many horror films and crime movies.
