Megan waved and watched her disappear into her apartment before driving away to her own. She enjoyed her company and marvelled at the way she could hold herself so gracefully. Kagome was definitely beautiful but there was something about those blue eyes that made her wonder about her past life. She was sure that the girl was holding something back, as she could read the sadness or was it heartache in those eyes?
She must have been hurt before and this only confirmed her suspicions when she had asked about that chain. Megan had seen it around her neck for the past few weeks now and knew it meant a lot to the girl.
Maybe a relationship that had gone wrong? She pondered and secured her car.
She was so deep in thought; she didn't register a figure that had followed her every move since both girls had left the restaurant. Opening the door she froze when a soft voice called out her name.
She began to turn around when a hand covered her mouth and the intruder issued a gesture of silence.
"I won't hurt you, I'll give you that. May I come in?" Megan narrowed her eyes but nodded. He would have hurt me by now and not asked for my permission to come in she thought as he took his hand away and allowed her to enter her apartment.
She turned on the light and placed her bag and keys on a nearby table before turning around to glare at her "guest".
"Don't ever do that again!" she fumed irritably at the youth, "You scared the shit out of me!" she accused before gesturing for him to sit.
He complied and muttered an apology. "Would you like a drink?" she asked and he nodded, asking for a glass of water. On return she sat opposite and was about to quiz him when he pulled out his hand.
"I am sorry for scaring you like this, but what I saw tonight is important."
"How did you know my name?" she countered. This guy was getting her intrigued by the second.
"I inquired about you and your friend at that restaurant and they kindly gave me your name."
"How dare they give my –!"
"Within reason." He cut off her protest and sat back into the chair.
"What reason?"
"How long has Kagome Higurashi been here?" The question immediately had her tongue-tied. If she had heard correctly, those bloody receptionists had only given her name to him so how did he know Kagome's? She narrowed her eyes.
"Answer mine and I'll answer yours."
He sighed. This girl was just as bad as those people at the restaurant. "Her family is worried about her. She hasn't contact them for the past month." He watched, as his explanation seems to satisfy the girl. She sighed.
"She's been here for about a month. Why hasn't she contacted her family?"
"She had an argument of some sort and fled here." He shrugged, "I've been trying to track her down and here I am."
That probably explains why she's been so sad. She nodded thoughtfully and the necklace… it all made sense now. "I'm sorry to hear that. It's no wonder she's been a little… down lately."
He nodded. "It would be good if you could tell me what you know so I could talk to her when the time comes."
"Of course!"
All doubts put aside, she proceeded to tell him of Kagome's daily activities since the time the two had met. For safety sake, she refused to give him her personal details. "You must understand that I cannot give you her personal details, as a friend I respect her privacy and such."
He nodded. "I respect that." He glanced down at his watch and yawned. "I should get going. Thank you for your understanding of the matter at hand."
She nodded and stood up to follow him to her door. "You never told me your name." she blurted out suddenly and he stilled.
He regarded her for a moment and shrugged, "Call me Miyagi." He grinned and turned to disappear into the night. She sighed and closed her door. "God Kagome, please be alright."
She met Kagome the next day both excited about the guest speaker and both pondering on who it may be. "I bet you it's the professor or some unheard of person from Swahili or something." Kagome smiled and shrugged. "You might just be right."
Both of them laughed as they settled into their usual lecture, which slowly piling with curious students, all wanting to know who this mysterious speaker is.
Both girls were talking when Kagome's phone went off. Damn! She was about to get up to take the call outside when voices turned into murmurs. Cursing the situation, she picked up the phone and answered it.
"Kagome! Kami-sama, you answered!"
"Gomen Sango-chan but my lecture is about to start could I ring you back later?" she frowned. Surely Sango knew she had lectures around this time on Thursday mornings?
"Ano, this is important Kag-chan. It's about Miroku he's –"
The rest of her sentence went unheard as people around her began to groan and boo at their professor who had made his way to the front of the classroom. Both girls exchanged a look, "What did I tell you?" Megan whispered and Kagome smiled.
However, both girls were fooled when a certain person approached the professor's side. Megan gasped.
Standing beside the professor was the youth she had met, Miyagi. "You have got to be kidding me…"
Kagome on the other hand was in a different state of shock. "Kami-sama…" she whispered as the youth met her eyes with outright relief and curiosity.
"Kag-chan? Kagome? Can you hear me? I'm so sorry… I didn't realise until he rang me last night and…"
But the rest of Sango's words went sailing right past her mind as she continued to stare at the youth wide eyed.
"Kag? Are you all right? You know him yeah?" She turned to Megan and just shook her head dumbly. Why didn't she just get up and walk out right now? He couldn't stop her or beg her to stay.
She glanced at him again and gulped.
It was Inuyasha's friend Miyagi, Miroku Miyagi.
"Kag-chan? Kagome?" Sango grimaced as she vaguely heard Kagome let out a soft curse, "I'm so sorry… I didn't realise until he rang me last night and told me he saw you at the restaurant. He didn't even tell me that he was going to be in Australia!"
Sango closed her eyes for a moment before opening them again. How could she be so baka?
"Kami-sama Kagome, gomen…" she was turning around when she froze at a sight of certain hanyou, white hair streaming around his face and golden eyes ablaze with fury.
"I-Inu…yasha…" she choked out as the hanyou entered the room, ears twitching madly and arms folded across his chest.
Oh shit she thought as she broke the connection and placed the phone on the counter.
This was not good.
And as she met those golden eyes, she was so very afraid.
