Kagome and her friends walked in a tight huddle. Kagome was so shaken up
that she was mostly silent. The four girls arrived at Yuka's home.
Yuka called Kagome's house while Kagome, Harumi, and Eri sat on the couch.
Ring...Ring... "Hello, Sunset shrines. How may I help you?"
"Hi, This is Yuka. Is Kagome's mom there?"
"Oh! This is she. Is Kagome with you? She's on the news! Is she alright?"
"Yeah! She's right here in my living room. There was an accident at the pool but she's just fine."
"Okay good."
"Can Kagome spend the night at my house tonight?"
"Oh, alright. If that's what she wants, just make sure that she gets to her math tutoring tomorrow morning."
"Alright thanks."
"Bye..."
"Wait! What channel is she on?"
"Five"
"Okay, bye Mrs. Higurashi."
"Bye Yuka."
Yuka hung up the phone. "Quick! Turn to channel five!" she shouted to her friends.
Eri turned on the TV with the remote and put it on channel five.
"Today a 15-year-old girl nearly drowned at a local swimming pool when a large tree fell into the water. Witnesses say that it is a miracle she survived. 'We tried to pull it off of her but it was so heavy we couldn't even budge it.' The girl mysteriously escaped with her life. Some witnesses say there was a flash of light seen from the tree after it fell. Tune in for more at ten when we will bring you the full story. Back to you Chad. Thanks Sandra. In other news..."
"Wow." Kagome said. "I'm on TV."
"Okay, Kagome." Yuka said. "Tell me what the message on your wall says"
"It says, and I quote: I WILL SILENCE YOU ONCE AND FOR ALL! KAGOME!"
"Who do you think would want to kill you?" asked Harumi.
"I don't know..." Kagome said but in her head she was thinking: "Naraku, that dark priestest lady, Kanna, Kagura, Sesshomaru, and about fifty-thousand other demons."
"Well, maybe do you know something secret that someone doesn't want public?" Eri asked her. "That could be what it means by silencing you."
"Well... I don't think so..." Kagome said.
"Okay, you said this just happened today. Walk us through what you've done today." Yuka coached her.
"Well... I got out of bed. I turned off my alarm. I was about to put my clothes on, but I stopped because I saw something on my wall. It was a good thing too, because right when I stopped my ceiling fan fell down. It would have crushed me." Kagome shuddered, and Harumi handed her a blanket. "Then I went and told my family about it. My mom and brother got scared about it, and my mom told me to just go to school and stop scaring my brother. So I went to school, and then I went to the pool with you guys. Then I sat in the shallow end, and I was singing a song I heard when the tree fell down on me. You know the rest. Oh wait did I mention? The writing on my wall was in blood."
"That's really scary, Kagome. You have a murderer, or a GHOST that wants to get you, and it's not contained to your house either." Yuka declared.
Kagome started to cry.
"Yuka stop! You're scaring her." Harumi ordered her.
"It's okay, Kagome." Eri patted her on the back. "We won't talk about it anymore for a while. Remember Kagome. We're only a phone call away, so if you get into trouble call us." Eri pulled out her cell phone and handed it to Kagome. "Now, you be careful Kagome. I'm sure you'll be fine."
Kagome took the cell phone, wiped her eyes and stopped crying.
