Hello people! Sorry it took me so long to get this one up. School is very,
very evil, and guys are jerks (sorry to any male readers out there. That's
just my opinion for the time being). Ah, so yes. On with the fic then?
A Life of Pain and Love
New meetings and confusion

"Kagome, there's some guy in the living room. Sango 's in there now so we're on food duty, but she wants you in there," Kohaku said keeping his voice down.
Kagome nodded and went to the living room door.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"So you see why we need your help. We've tried all we can but nothing stops them. These demons, they ain't normal," said a rather young looking boy sitting on the couch across form Sango.
Before Kagome went to step in, she took in the boy in front of her. He was a year or so older than herself and about a head taller. His hair was a rich brown and had a pair of matching eyes to go with it.
He seemed human enough, but you never can really tell with out getting close.
"Okay," Sango said, knowing all to well that her partner was by the door somewhere, "tell me again. What they look like?"
He put on a thoughtful face (what a change, ne?). "Both of 'em looked like the where human females. One, in her mid twenties and usually wears a several layered kimono that looks like it would've been worn in the fuddle area and always carries a hand fan (anyone know what their 'official' names are?), and the other one looks like she around ten. You can't miss that one," he said darkly.
"Why?"
"She so pale and cold. Her eyes are empty orbs that contain no sole whatsoever. Her hair is a winter white, and she too wears a kimono but-"
"White?"
" Yea, but her mirror. That thing is pure evil with a capital 'e'. At lest when dyeing by the hands of others you find peace in the after life, but with that mirror of her, peace doesn't even come from the grave."
For a while there was nothing but silence but for the boys in the kitchen.
"Kagome? When do you want to move out? This one sounds like fun," Sango said looking over her shoulder.
"Tomorrow, at noon. I'll be looking forwarded to this one."
"Oh? Whys that?"
"That girl and I are old, old friends," Kagome said with hatred all to clear in her voice.
"So then, you'll do it? You'll help?"
"Yes, but there's one thing that we need first," Sango said.
"What?"
"A name," Kagome said then laughed at the look of horror that was all over the boy's face. "Don't looked so worried. We just want to know your name so we know who to come to when we finish the job to collect are payment."
"Oh, its Hojo."
"Well then Hojo, are you gonna stay here the night or go back?"
"If it's not to much trouble, I'd like to go with you two tomorrow."
"Not at all," Kagome said giving a big smile then yelled over her shoulder, "Hey you two! We got a guest tonight so get the extra stuff out when setting up, 'k?"
"Fine," Kohaku called back.
"Do we have ta sis?" Sota whined.
"If you know what's good for ya, you will," she called back.
"I better get in there before they distort the kitchen," Sango said and left Hojo and Kagome alone.
"Go ahead and make yourself at home. If you need anything, just ask Sango or one of the boys. I'm sure they'll come in and interrogate you sometime sooner rather than later," Kagome said softly chuckling to herself as memories of their last guest popped into her head. "Don't worry bout em though. They couldn't hurt a fly unless they really wanted to."
"And where, if you don't mind my asking, will you be?"
"Taking a bath and getting things ready for tomorrow," she said taking off for the kitchen. "You should relax some. You only get older faster by worrying so much."
"Who said I was worried?"
"I did," she said disappearing into the other room.
~~~***~~~ I feel like being lazy so I'm skipping a head to tomorrow. ~~~***~
"We're here!" Hojo said excitedly. "Yumie! Doren!"
"Hey look! Hojo 's back and he 's brought help."
By the time that the little three some got to the area where all the people where at there was quite a crowed.
"Let them though," came an elderly female voice, and almost immediately the crowds were broken.
"Lady Kaede." Hojo voice was full of ah. "What are you doing out here? You should still be in bed."
"Hush child, and don't be worried about an old lady like me. I see you brought help. Good; follow me please."
Hojo, Sango, and Kagome followed Kaede into a smaller house around the outskirts of the town from the opposite side from which they came.
"You must be tired. Please sit and I shall make you something to eat."
"Please, we don't want to be a bother," Sango said, but Kaede just said, "My dear, the is no need to worry about being a bother. After all, you did come to help us. Please, just relax for now. You'll need your strength for later on tonight."
"Agreed," Hojo said nodding his head. " Even with both of your skills, this battle won't come to an easy win."
"It never does," Kagome said more to herself than anyone else. "How much longer till they come?"
Kaede thought for a moment then looked at the sun from out the window. "A half a day maybe a bit more. It's not so easy to tell. Sometimes the come during the day. Others, in the mid of night. It just all depends on them."
"I see."
"What troubles you, dear?"
".." She didn't answer, but got up and said something about going for a walk.
"Kagome?" Sango called after her and when she didn't get a reply, she just sighed and slumped into the seat. "Sorry 'bout that. Kagome gets that way sometimes, but she doesn't mean anything by it."
"'Tis nothing to worry about," the old woman said with a warm smile. "I have a feeling that this is something that she has been waiting for for some time now."
"Yea, you could say that," Sango said. " You could say that."

Well, there you go. Gomen that it took me so long to get this one out. I haven't really had any inspiration for writing this story as of late, but I think that about to change a bit (or I hope!). Anyway, again, I just what to say sorry!!!!!
Hey, wantta know what helps to give me inspiration? YOU PEOPLE! That's right. Review and tell me what you liked and didn't, and if you have any ideas, feel free to throw them in there as well.
Sence it's a three days weekend (1st terms over! Yeah! 1 down 3 to go!) I'll try to get anther chapter up, but I'm not promising anything.
