Kagome hurriedly took out her keys, her hands shaking, and ran into her
house, her sanctuary.
"Kagome! What's wrong? Why are you crying?"
"Mama, papa was killed by Kouga-kun's gang."
"How did it happen?"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~Flashback~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Kagome and Azuki were walking together from the carnival, the long way home, to enjoy the starry sky. It had been a perfect evening, marred only by Hojo asking her to go on the Ferris Wheel with him. As it was, Kagome was holding her father's hand, skipping merrily. Suddenly, a group of wolf youkai jumped out of an alleyway.
"Kouga-kun! Why are you here and what are you doing?"
"Hahaha. I am here to take you away from your father so I can make you my mate, Kagome-chan."
"What are you saying?"
"Azuki, how can you not know that I have admired your daughter ever since I met her? I've asked for her hand, and you refused to give permission. So now, you will suffer the consequences."
"Kouga-kun, please don't kill my papa. He never meant any harm. I was the one that didn't want to marry you."
"WHAT??" Red was bleeding into Kouga's eyes.
"Gomenasai, but I only think of you as a friend, Kouga-kun, and you know that I can never become your mate."
Kagome closed her eyes as she made this speech to give her courage, so she didn't see Kouga lunging at her. Azuki, however, did. He tried to knock Kagome out of the way.
WHAM!
Kagome was knocked down to the floor. She was bruised and scratched, but other than that, unharmed. Her father was not as lucky. He managed to save Kagome, but he had to take the consequences. He fell to the floor, clothes torn, skin cut, and dead from Koga's whirlwind.
"PAPA!!!!!!!!!!!! NO, KOUGA! YOU KILLED HIM!!!" she screamed.
"Kagome-chan, calm down. Now that your father is gone, we can become mates."
"YOU ASSHOLE! HOW CAN I CONSIDER BEING YOUR MATE WHEN MY FATHER IS DEAD???"
Kouga, sensing the battle aura around his woman, signaled the retreat to his gang. He stayed behind to try and comfort her.
"Kagome, please, I'm really sorry that I killed him. I was angry at what you said, and I did create the whirlwind, but I didn't intend to kill anyone. He intercepted my hit early."
"Oh, and you think that that will justify your actions??"
He looked in her eyes, and saw that she would not be moved. He left almost silently.
"Kagome-chan, forgive me. I'll make it up to you," he whispered.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~End Flashback~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kagome finished telling her story, and sobbed on her mother's shoulder. Her mother was crying as well.
"Azuki/Papa! Why did you leave us? Why didn't you/we walk another way home? WHY???" they screamed as they sobbed.
While they were crying, they heard a miniscule sound. They both looked up at the same time.
It was Azuki. They screamed.
"Azuki!""Papa!""Are you alive?"
"No, I am visiting you as a ghost, to tell you to not worry, for I am happy now. My wish has been fulfilled, to die protecting Kagome."

What will happen? Short, so tell me if I should get rid of it. Lemony parts later, when Kagome seeks comfort. Review, tell me what I should do! What pairings?
