-Chapter 2-
Inuyasha ran into Kagome's room, seeing if it came from her. It did not. She was rummaging through the closet for a robe. She too, had heard the scream. She looked at Inuyasha with large eyes.
"Kagome! Was that you? Thank god you're okay!"
"No, it wasn't me! I think it came from the town square!"
They ran downstairs, to find the Mayor already awake. They did not question him, but ran out to the square. The silence was haunting, the shadows were menacing. They looked around, and saw under a light a scantily clad whore of a girl, looking as though she had expected Inuyasha to come and "rescue" her.
"Oh, Inuyasha! I'm so glad you're here."
"Um…yeah…" He looked at her with a mix of malice and desire. Kagome felt a pang of jealousy.
"Well Inu, I hope you're prepared to spend the—Who is she?" She pointed to Kagome as though she was a rat.
Kagome looked to him for an explanation.
Inuyasha looked back hopelessly. "Oh, Kikyo, this is Kagome. Kagome, this is Kikyo."
"Oh look, Inuyasha's got a new pet." Kikyo smirked.
"Ah, Kikyo. The Town Wench, I presume? Well, its nice to know someone so, ahem, well-known in this area." She slapped back at her.
Kikyo got up, apparently unhurt. "Well, missy, we'll see how well known you get to be." She stomped off, infuriated that her plan failed.
As they walked back to the house, they decided not to go to sleep. They were too livid to go back to sleep, and instead wanted to go for a walk.
"How about we go to the beach," Inuyasha insisted.
Kagome sighed. The beach…she felt miserable just thinking about it. "I…don't think we should…maybe the forest?"
"Yeah, that's fine." Inuyasha thought about it, when it suddenly hit him. The beach!? I'm so stupid! Ugh…
They walked for a while, thinking about what to say. It was not so clear to them that they had so much on their minds, but so little to say to each other. Distance came between them. When broken, the sun would rise again. It had fallen for Kagome, but was it too late for the world to start spinning again?
"That was amazing, you know. I've never seen anyone tell her off like that." Inuyasha said, finally breaking the silence.
"I know her kind. I know how to handle them. Sure, it brings out a dark part of me, but…it's worth it. There's no use in defending yourself if you don't know how."
"How do you know? You weren't…one of them were you?"
Kagome giggled at the idea of her being a whore. "Are you kidding me? I mean, could you picture me as one? Wow. I'd look pretty good though!"
They both laughed loudly, when they saw light emerge from a nearby cabin.
"Oh no, do think we woke him up?" Kagome questioned.
"Well, probably not. But…no one knows who lives there. They say that a shadow comes every now and then, sometimes two. No one ever sees who it is. Some say it's a ghost, but it's a debatable subject."
"I see…so, do think maybe we should go back? It's getting a little chilly…"
He agreed, and they started to walk back. to the house. However, Kagome paused for a moment; she thought she heard her name. Although she almost could pinpoint the voice, she reluctantly walked away.
When she finally woke up, it was 10:01. The frantic yelling of the Mayor, complaining that the festival was waiting to be started, awakened her. She got dressed quickly and ran to the kitchen. The Mayor was running around, trying to get Inuyasha enthusiastic about it. They were both content that she was awake, and at last started to the square.
