"Chapter 2: Thieves"
(Ring Ring)
Kagome awakened to the familiar ring of her bedside phone. Reaching
a trembling hand to the edge of her bed, she picked it up and and
placed it to her ear.
"Kagome, please get out of bed, it's just not healthy to be doing this.
You need to eat something, you've been depressed for long enough
Missie! At least get your butt out of bed, watch some television for
all I care!"
Kagome's friend, Eri, was the one who called. It was like this all
the time, during those five years Inuyasha was gone. Every now
and then, Kagome would get at her highest point in depression,
and spend those days alone in her room, until Eri would convince
her to get up. Eri didn't know exactly what was happening to her
childhood friend. All she knew was that Kagome had married that
"crazy" boyfriend of hers, but the rest was left unknown. Seeing
as he was never with Kagome, and that Kagome never mentioned
him anymore, Eri figured that they must have gotten a divorce.
She could see why Kagome was depressed. Knowing Kagome
for as long as she did, she knew that her love was eternal, and
she would never forget, and would never get over him. Her best
friend would never move on.
"Kagome, look, you're my friend, and I'm really worried about you.
Promise me that you'll go out and get a little fresh air today," Eri
pleaded for her friend to comply to her simple wishes.
"Allright Eri, you've convinced me again. I promise I'll go out
today, but only for a short walk through the park," Kagome
whispered into the phone.
She was so tired, and her voice was weak, but she didn't want
to worry Eri anymore than she already was.
"Okay, sweetie, I hope you start to feel better."
"Goodbye Eri," croaked Kagome as she hung up the phone.
Kagome pried herself from the comfort of her bed sheets, and
carefully walked down the stairs, stumbling a few times along the
way.
She made her way to the kitchen, she had to admit though, she
was very hungry. During her depression, she hadn't eaten, and it had taken
it's toll on her.
Opening the pantry, she noticed a note on the inside of the door.
"Kagome,
I went to the grocery store to buy some more items for the pantry.
I'll be back A.S.A.P. There's still some Ramen left, if you're hungry.
Love, Mom"
Great, it would figure that the last of the food in their house, was Inuyasha's
favorite meal.
Kagome's eyes began to water, as she remembered those painful memories.
Shaking her head, clearing her mind of all thoughts, she decided to go to
the living room instead.
"I guess I'm not as hungry as I thought I was," Kagome whimpered as her
stomach rumbled.
Plopping herself onto the sofa, she flicked on the television, in hopes of finding
something worth her while.
Skimming through the channels, she abruptly stopped when an important
announcement interrupted all of the channels.
"We hate to interrupt your current presentations, but we have an important
announcement," started the reporter.
"What could be so important that I would actually care?" muttered Kagome.
"It seems that we have a serious case with thieves! A gang of at least three,
or more, are being accused of stealing extremely valuable goods, and
maybe even possible murder. Just last night, a teenage girl was killed. She
had various claw marks running down her back, and used bullets were
also located at the crime scene. Witnesses report to have seen them as
demons!"
Just as that sentence finished, Kagome jerked forth. She hadn't seen a
demon in her time, well, not since the Noh Mask.
"Please be sure to lock your doors and windows for your own safety.
We now return you to your previous presentations."
Kagome quickly shut the television off.
There was no way there could be demons, there just couldn't. She had never
sensed even a hint of a demon aura around Tokyo, so why now? It just
couldn't be possible.
"I need to get out of here," Kagome muttered to herself as she grabbed
a sweater.
It was sunset, the sun was halfway down.
Kagome walked to the park, seeing as there was nowhere else where
she could go. Quietly sitting on a nearby bench, she noticed a
cloaked figure run past her. Looking up, she saw that whoever it was,
they had stopped, and were now standing five feet away from her.
It was staring directly at her.
