make up another character.
Chapter 1.
Kagome's eyes shot open. Fear enveloped her suddenly. She sat up wearily, looking around for the cause of her upstart. Nothing was out of the ordinary. 'Well, that was unnecessary' she thought to herself.
She glanced at the clock. It was exactly 8:00. Kagome rubbed her head in confusion. It was Saturday and she always slept past 11.unless woken up.
'Get a grip, Kagome' she chided herself, although mentally she noted that the fear had yet to subside.
She stood up, thinking about what had happened and why this was such a big deal. She frowned. 'It hadn't been a nightmare.but what then?' She bit her lip and thought back. She frowned again. 'It was like. like something was there and then it stopped or left and the absence woke me up.' She glared at the ground. 'That doesn't make sense!'
She went into the bathroom to brush her teeth, and wash her face.
Suddenly, in the middle of spitting, a thought came to her. 'What if someone is hurt!'
She flew out the door and ran downstairs turning towards the kitchen, 'Mom!!! Souta!!!"
She burst through the door to find Souta peering strangely up at her from over his corn flakes.
Kagome halted. "Hey Souta, where's Mom."
Another strange look.
Then he jabbed his finger over his shoulder. Kagome looked towards the refrigerator to find her mom looking very worried. "Kagome, is something wrong?"
'You are so stupid, Kagome, seriously.' "Heh. No. I was just wondering where Grandpa was."
'Good! Quick thinking!'
"I'm right here." Her granddad said from beside her.
Kagome whirled around. He had been sitting opposite Souta. 'What is wrong with me?!'
Another gloriously brilliant cover-up surged from her mouth. "Glad you're all here, because I had to tell you that I'm planning to back to feudal Japan, today." "Um.Kagome?" her mother inquired from behind the counter.
"What?! Is he here too, so I can complete my idiocy a third time?!!!" 'AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"
"Well, no actually I was going to ask if you wanted me to pick something up from the store for your trip."
Kagome sighed, "no, I'm leaving immediately. Good bye to you all, I assume I'm not missing anyone when I say that." She glanced around, "no? Then I'll be leaving." She turned and stomped out the door.
'Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid.' In her mind it made a little song.
She reached the shrine, and went without hesitation to the well and jumped in.
* On the other side *
The instant she went through she felt the change. It was a foreboding. A strong and dangerous premonition. She shivered with fear as she climbed out the well. With her heart beating much faster, she started toward the village.
* She walks to the village *
The first thing she noticed was the townspeople. They were scurrying all about, carrying odd things. Many had weapons. The darkness sank further into Kagome's heart. Something was not right.
The first of her friends, she found was Sango. The girl had on her demon slayer outfit and had a myriad of weapons and tools fanned out about her.
"Sango!" Kagome cried, spotting her. "What's going on?"
Sango glanced up solemnly. "I have bad news Kagome."
'Obviously,' Kagome couldn't help thinking.
"Naraku has joined forces with other demons, who conveniently don't like Inuyasha or me or.well, you." She said looking into Kagome's eyes. She continued, "they decided to attack now while we were unawares, but their group is so big that we soon heard news of it." They are coming here, with us all together to finish us off.today. We expect them around noon."
Kagome gulped. Sango didn't bother trying to sugarcoat anything. Everything was blunt and to the point. Also, it was all very frightening.
A soft "THUMP!" behind her alerted Kagome to Inuyasha's presence. She turned to face him.
"You should go home. No reason for you to be here. You can come back tomorrow. We should be finished with them by then." He explained bluntly.
Inuyasha being so. like Inuyasha made Kagome feel just a little bit better. He was still cocky and protective. A small smile broke through the gloom that surrounded her.
"No, Inuyasha. I'm going to lend whatever help I can." He frowned at this but before he could retort she added, "besides it's not like they can do me any harm. You will be there to help me if I really need it. Though the lot of them will probably go down to Tetsusaiga's first swing." Inwardly, she laughed. She had made her answer as arrogant and yet complimentary as she could get it.
Inuyasha couldn't respond to such a magnificent response. He shrugged and resumed to help the villagers pack up their belongings. Kagome turned to look at Sango. She was worried for her friend. Sango never acted like that. It scared her. "Sango? Are you okay?"
Sango looked up from where she had been busy securing as many weapons as possible to her body. She didn't answer. She didn't have the chance because that's when Miroku came up and gently placed a reassuring hand on the slayer's shoulder. "She's fine, Kagome. She just getting in the mind set of a warrior you know!" Miroku smiled proudly. Then looked Kagome over. "You don't seem ready or even armed."
Kagome for the first time realized that she was still in pajamas and had left her bow at home. "Oh!" she squeaked.
Miroku laughed and took her gently by the arm and led her away from Sango. After they had walked some distance, Miroku turned towards her. "Kohaku is with Naraku and has been doing most of the killings so far. I couldn't tell you that in front of her though." He looked back at Sango worriedly. "She wants to stop him. She has so much rage and ferocity inside her right now towards Naraku that I think it is hard to keep it controlled. She isolated herself from us the moment we heard." He shook his head sadly. "You know it's almost no fun to grab a woman's ass when she only stands there and lets you do it."
'And I had thought he might have put it aside for just this one battle!'
"Miroku! How dare you do that to her, when she is going through so much pain." Kagome raised her hand to slap him, but he anticipated and brought up his staff guarding his face. She frowned but instead brought her heel down hard on his.
"OW!" he yelped hopping around on one foot. "You've gotten resourceful!"
Kagome smiled unable to laugh in the face of the oncoming storm. Miroku understood. "We should keep our spirits high, Kagome. If we are fearful then they will be more likely to defeat us. They use fear as a weapon, you see, and we should take away any weapon of theirs that we can."
Kagome nodded. "Hey, Sango said that Naraku had joined with other demons who hate us. Who are they?"
He glanced at her. "Well just some demons related to the ones we killed I suppose."
But Kagome could see that he seemed to be avoiding something. "There is something you're not telling me, Miroku."
He sighed. "Yes, of course you're right. Now listen. This may not even the biggest problem we'll be faced with."
"Who is it?!"
"Right well um. one is.uh.Kikyo."
A/N: hey, thanks for reading. I'm new here and it would really help me if you would review and tell me how I'm doing. (I'm really nervous.) ~Ava.
