Authors note!
Hello everyone. So, how do you like the story so far? I really need some feed back! Sorry it took so long to update, I haven't really had time. Anyway, that's all u have to say besides ON WITH THE STORY! (Apologies for any spelling mistakes!) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Kagome, come on, it's time to go! We have to go now; I let you sleep a little too long! The nurses will be making their rounds soon! Hurry and get up!"
Kagome sat up wearily. She looked to the barred window. She was surprised to see it was already dark. She wondered how long she had been sleeping. Her stomach growled. Jade heard this and tossed her wrapped package.
"Here, eat this, if you don't like it you can have something else."
Kagome unwrapped the package and something fell out. A delicious aroma filled the air.
"What is it?"
Jade smiled, "Something you have never had before. It's called a Phili cheese steak. It the real deal too, straight from Philadelphia. Not any of those imitators. It's delicious. I think you'll like it."
Kagome sank her teeth into the bread. She smiled. Jade was right, it was delicious. She chewed slowly, savoring the cheese and the shredded meat. Kagome decided she liked American food.
"Well, we can't sit around smiling all day, let's go!"
Kagome nodded and quickly finished the cheese steak as jade tinkered with the lock. Kagome heard a small click and a satisfied grunt from jade as the door swung open. She rose and followed jade out into the hall. Once again jade led kagome through a maze of passageways, now and then stopping to pick a lock.
Jade stopped and motioned for kagome not to speak. She peered around the corner and then stealthily began to walk motioning kagome to follow. As soon as they turned a corner, kagome saw the door.
"Stay here," jade whispered.
She walked p to the door and began tinkering with the lock. This one took her at least five minutes. Kagome breathed a sigh of relief as the lock clicked open.
Jade smiled and motioned for kagome to follow her through the door.
"Houdini strikes again!" whispered Jade.
Kagome giggled as the walked through the door and onto the grounds. Jade pointed to a gate.
"We are gonna climb that, are you up for it?"
Kagome nodded.
"Good."
Jade took a running start and vaulted herself over the fence. She landed on the other side with a painful thud.
"Jade! Are you all right? How the hell did you clear that fence?!"
Jade rubbed her shoulder wincing slightly.
"I used to be a pole-vaulter and a high jumper; I cleared stuff like that all the time in school. Plus, I had to learn how to jump brick walls to get away from the cops."
Kagome nodded and began to slowly climb the steel gate. Once on the other side she helped jade up off the ground.
"Thanks, now let's get going okay?"
Jade took a left and began to follow the road. Kagome plodded along behind her not caring where they were going, as long as they were going somewhere.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Inuyasha sniffed the ground desperately.
'Her scent stops here! How can it just stop?'
He sniffed again, this time the air. He smelled.......... 'Is that goat blood?'
He took off in the direction of the smell, hoping vaguely that Kagome was somewhere nearby.
He weaved in and out of trees, following the stench. He stopped abruptly as he reached a small house. He sniffed the air. Kagome's scent mingled with the blood, dancing around his head. Her smell was stagnant, yet prominent.
"DAMN!" he said aloud, "I missed her again!"
He tried to figure out whir kagome's scent led, but it had disappeared again.
"How can her scent just disappear like that?"
He turned and, following his instincts started off down the road, not knowing his was heading towards the place kagome had just left.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Inuyasha stood outside a gate, staring up at it growling slightly. Kagome's scent was all over the metal bars. He had missed her once again. A soft breeze blew and the smell of Sakura petals filled inuyasha's nose. He turned quickly and followed the scent.
"Kagome is here somewhere! She won't get away from me! I won't let her!"
He sprinted down the road hot on her trail. Unbeknownst to kagome, inuyasha was closing in fast.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jade stepped back off the rickety porch and tilted her head back,
"SHUYA! SHUYA LET ME IN!!!!"
Almost immediately the door was open by a very drunk young woman.
"Elo, 'ow iz yah doin shade? Good to zees yah 'ack." The woman giggled hysterically clutching a plastic cup to her chest.
Music poured from the open door and engulfed them as the walked in. a hazy smoke hung in the air and bodies were sprawled everywhere. Cheers chorused through the house and welcomed Jade. She just smiled and waved. Her grin widened as she laid eyes on a young man with shaggy black hair draped over a couch. She threw herself on his lap. He wrapped his arms around her waist in response.
"How yah been Jade?"
She rolled her eyes. "They stuck me in a fucking loony bin. I met up with a girl," she gestured towards kagome. "We broke out of that hell, and now we need you to hook us up with some supplies and a ride. We need to get outta here before the cops spring. Can yah help us Shuya?"
Shuya nodded and smiled. "Course I'll help yah and this burning hunk of love that you brought with you."
He untangled himself from jade and made his way over to kagome. He bent down and kissed her hand.
"And you would be?"
"Kagome."
"Pleased to meet you kagome, I am Shuya, your knight in shining armor, come to whisk you away to where ever. Or at least give you the stuff to get you where ever." He turned back to jade, "I love what you've done with your hair! It really suits you."
Jade smiled at him, "thanks, oh can we crash here tonight?"
He smirked, "you can try, but yah know, the blue house is an ongoing party, I doubt you'll get any sleep."
Jade nodded, "hey Shuya, why don't we play a game? I don't think kagome has ever...um played...um well, games like ours."
He grinned mischievously, "Okay, I'll get something for us to play."
He glided away, skimming over the bodies on the floor, returning a minuet later with a tray laden with drinks. He held them out to kagome.
"Choose one, 2 out of these 5 drinks have ecstasy, chose carefully now, you only get to pick once."
Kagome choose the second to last on the left. She sipped the glass daintily. It was laced with rum and something she did not recognize. She gulped the rest down greedily. Jade smiled and sipped at her glass.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kagome sat on the floor beside the couch. Her head slowly moved around the room, watching as colors swirled around her. She looked down at her hand, or what she thought was her hand. Rainbows shot from her fingertips and she could see through her skin into the muscles. She brought her hand closer to her face giggling. Garish colors blinded her as she stared intently and her muscles. The muscle began to dissolve and she saw bone. Her bones were like a lava lamp, colors bubbling around inside them. She tilted her head back and laughed loudly. The sound echoed and bounced off the walls over and over again, changing pitches.
Jade sat calmly and watched kagome. Her face had a bemused look plastered on it. Shuya sat next to her, another girl sitting on his lap. His hand was up her shirt and she was kissing his neck. He winked at jade as she turned to him. She rolled her eyes and turned back to kagome.
'I hope the effects don't last to long,' she thought, 'we have to leave tomorrow, or the cops might catch us.'
Her thoughts wandered off. She had seen a report on the news earlier that night. An add had been plastered on the screen, asking if anyone had seen to girls running around lately. They hadn't even said their names. She sighed.
'Oh well.' She thought as she snuggled down into the sofa and fell asleep to the loud pounding music.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kagome groaned and rubbed her head. She didn't really remember anything that happened last night. All she remembered was a lot of colors and feeling like she was floating. She looked at jade, who had woken her up.
"What?" she said groggily.
Jade pressed a finger to her lips and looked around nervously.
"We have to go now, the cops are searching houses. They are three away from this one. Come on, hurry."
Kagome was instantly awake. She bolted up and followed jade outside. A red jeep sat running in the yard. She could see the tiny dew drops on the grass. Steam billowed from the exhaust pipe, making the dew seem innocent yet attention seeking.
She distractedly got into the jeep beside jade and buckled herself in.
"Let's go. Oh, you're gonna have to show me where to go okay?"
Kagome nodded not really listening. She was still staring at the dew drops.
"Good," jade said and slammed on the accelerator.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Inuyasha sniffed the ground.
"Damn! Her scent disappeared again! How does this keep happening?!"
He let out a frustrated growl and swiped at the porch, shattering the wood.
"Maybe she went back home. Wait, she doesn't have a home to go back to!"
Inuyasha sniffed the ground again. He growled deep in his throat.
"There is that scent again. It was with kagome's at the big metal wall awhile back too! That scent is familiar somehow. Who does it belong to?"
Inuyasha stood scratching his head thinking intently.
'Maybe I should go ask Kaede for advice.' He nodded reassuring himself. 'Yes, that is what I'll do.' He took off towards the well at a sprint; if he ran he could get there in under an hour. He just hoped Kaede would know what to do.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kagome stood at the edge of her ruined house. Tears streamed down her face. This was the first time she had confronted her past. Memories of that horrible night played like a silent film in her head. Her thoughts went even further back in her past and she thought of the days when her family was still alive, and actually a family. She remembered her mothers smile so clearly, her brother's laugh, her grandfather's excuses. It was hard to accept that they were no longer alive.
She jumped as jade laid an arm on her trembling shoulders.
"I know how you feel. You can count on me whenever you need to talk. Okay?"
Kagome nodded and wiped the tears away. Pushing her horrible memories to the back of her mind and the dull ache in her heart into a dark corner of her soul. She wiped herself clean like she wiped away her tears. She smiled at jade.
"Okay, let's go."
Jade nodded and followed kagome to the well house. They walked in side by side down the stairs and to the well.
"Okay, now you are going to have to trust me, I promise you, you will not get hurt okay?"
Jade hesitated and then nodded. Kagome climbed onto the ledge and then helped jade up. She looked at her strangely for a moment.
"Um, jade, did you find anything in the ashes of my house?"
"Yeah, I saw some purple glowy thing buried in the ash so I dug through the charred wood and found these." She held up five shikon shards.
Kagome gasped, "you mean, you saw them glowing?"
Jade nodded, "yup, are they yours?"
Kagome nodded and jade handed her them. Kagome took four of the five.
"I want you to have one."
"Are you sure?"
"As sure as I can get."
"Okay, whatever. Thanks."
Kagome nodded and grabbed jade's hand. "Okay now, on the count of three we jump in okay?"
Jade shrugged and nodded. "You better be right about this kagome, I'm trusting you with my life here. You know that?"
"Yup, I promise I won't screw up," she smiled, "okay one....two.....THREE!"
Jade let her self fall forward with kagome. Instead of hitting the dirt, they were both engulfed in purple light. Kagome smiled at jade, her eyes twinkling.
"I told you it would work!"
Jade's eyes were wide as she felt solid ground underneath her feet. A warm breeze blew and kagome inhaled the sweet scent of Sakura petals, her eyes closed. She turned back to jade, opening her eyes.
"Jade, welcome to feudal Japan."
Jade smiled lopsidedly. She just smiled.

Authors note!!!!!
So how is it so far? I got some reviews asking about the poems I pu8t at the end of the chapter. In truth they are not poems, they are songs, and I don't write them sadly. They are by bands like cradle of filth and slayer. If I write one I will tell you. Anyway, this one I DID WRITE! Review and tell me how you like it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I've been broken down by insults,
Been told how to live my life,
Told I can't do anything right,
You make me cry when I want to laugh,
Drown me in a bloody bath,
You laugh and point,
Sneer at me,
Make me into the freak you want to see,
It's ok though,
Because I'm used to it,
My heart and soul an empty pit,
Just keep on laughing and pointing at me,
Your target for entertainment,
Is what I'll be,
My feelings are all gone,
So tomorrow you will see,
I'll be laughing at you,
As you find my broken body on my dead,
Now who's laughing at who?
I'll laugh when you find me dead,
I will be the one to point and laugh at you.
