Kagome lead Miroku into the spare bedroom.
"You can sleep in here. My room is just down the hall, just in case you need me," she said as she pointed to her room. She looked at the clock on the wall. It was dinner time.
"Would you like something to eat, Miroku?" Kagome asked as she made her way to the kitchen.
'I wonder where Mama, Souta, and Grandpa are.' she thought as she pulled some frozen dinners from the freezer and cooked them. It was getting dark. They didn't leave a note or call. Kagome wasn't concerned. Its not like they knew she was coming back that day. Miroku was getting used to the strange seat called a recliner. Kagome came out carrying two trays of food. As Miroku sat down she put it in front of him. Then she sat down on the sofa. Miroku looked at the food.
"What is this?" he questioned.
"Chicken strips, corn and mashed potatoes with gravy." she said, pointing at each. She put in a movie as her cat, Byou, came in and rubbed against her leg.
******************************************
"There she is. The owner of the legendary Shikon no Tama." said a mysterious male voice in a dark room. He was looking at a mirror and in the mirror was. Kagome.
******************************************
It was 10:30 p.m. and very dark out side. Miroku had fallen asleep in the recliner. Kagome was watching a monster movie. She was on the edge of her seat. Then the phone rang. She jumped. She breathed deep then answered it.
"H. Hello?"
"Kagome? I'm so glad your home." It was a young voice. A boy's.
"Souta?" Kagome asked. "Where are you? Are Mama and Grandpa there too? What's going on?" Kagome bombarded him with questions.
"Kagome. Calm down. I can't answer all your questions because I don't even know. All I can tell you is to go to Tokyo Tower sometime soon." his voice was shaking.
"Souta? Are you okay? You sound scared." Kagome asked.
'What am I saying? Am I actually concerned for my bratty little brother?' she asked herself. Souta paused. then he got much quieter.
"Kagome," he whispered. "Please hurry. They're gonna hurt us."
"Who? Who's going to hurt you?" Nothing. Then a deep raspy voice came on.
"Bring the Shikon no Tama to the Tokyo Tower by sunset Friday or you will never see your family again."
"What? How do you know about the Shikon no Tama?" Kagome questioned. The only answer was a dial tone. He had hung up. She put the phone down and noticed that Miroku had woken up. He was watching her. He looked very confused. As she looked at him she started to cry. She prayed silently as her head fell in her hands and she collapsed.
'Inu Yasha. Please get the Shikon no Tama soon. Souta, Mama, and Grandpa need you.'
***********************************************
The phone call had come on Saturday. It was now Monday and time for school. Kagome had gotten some clothes for Miroku the previous day. Now he looked like a normal person in this time.
"Now remember." Kagome was explaining to Miroku for the hundredth time. "While we're out you have to pretend to be my cousin. Okay? You are visiting from up north. You are living with me until your parents can pay off all their bills. Understand?" Miroku started to nod then shook his head. Kagome sighed.
"Okay. Just let me do the talking," she said. She looked at the clock then headed towards the door. "Time to go." She grabbed Miroku by the arm. "And don't get cozy with any of my friends," she warned. As they walked to school a lot of Kagome's friends called out. She didn't seem to hear them. She couldn't stop thinking about that phone call. She hadn't told Miroku yet. He was very curious as to why she was sad. All he knew was that, that black thing she had held up to her ear and talked to said something to, make her very sad.
'Please hurry Inu Yasha. Souta. Mama. Grandpa. They're all in danger and I can't do anything about it.' At the thought of her family she began to cry again. Miroku put a sympathetic are on he shoulder. He wished she would tell him what happened.
Kagome was melancholy all day. She still told her friends how Miroku was a visiting cousin when they asked who he was. It seemed like that day would never end. part of her was thankful for that. Miroku was surrounded by girls.
"So what do you do up north?" one of them asked.
"The same thing you do here. But I'm in charge of protecting the women and young children of my family. Kagome included." he answered calmly. As he spoke of protecting his family he thought of Sango, Shippo, Kohaku, and Inu Yasha. And he realized that what he just said was true. They were his family.
"Speaking of Kagome," another girl spoke up. "Do you know why she's so unhappy?" They all glanced at her. She had her head resting on her desk. She had stopped crying about 10 minutes earlier.
"She's. She's just having a bad day." Miroku said.
"Whatever. a girl with short black hair said. "She's rarely here anyway. For all we know she's still sick."
"We should probably keep away from her so that we don't catch what ever she's got this time."
**********************************************
Kagome was very glad when school let out. On the way home Miroku noticed more than he had earlier. He paid attention to all the buildings, cars, and all the many people moving about. He was fascinated. He looked at Kagome and decided to ask why she was so unhappy.
"Kagome?"
"Hm?
"What did that black thing say to you two nights ago? "Kagome started crying again as she explained what "that black thing" was, how it worked, and what her brother and that man had said.
"So this strange man wants the Shikon no Tama and is using your family as bait to get it?" Miroku asked to make sure he understood. Kagome nodded.
"What are we going to do? We don't know what Inu Yasha will get it back and for all we know my family could be dead by now." Kagome said quickly.
"Hm." Miroku started thinking.
A/N: Hey everyone. How'd you like it? PLEASE REVIEW!! I'm in the process of writing chapter 8 right now. Actually I think I'm almost done with it. ^_^ PLEASE REVIEW!!!
Inu Yasha: I want to know when I'm going to get the Shikon no Tama back from Kikyo.
Hei: You really think that you could handle being with Kikyo without being distracted by the fact that she was your lover?
Inu Yasha: Of course I can.
Hei: Well, we'll see. You'll get it back. eventually.. ^_^
