IT IS ABOUT FUCKING TIME SOMEONE REVIEWED! THREE CHAPTERS! THREE! Feh, I'm starting to think the chapters should be smaller and posted only one every 2 months. Kidding! Jeesh, people can't take a joke...
I want to thank those people who did review. Sorry I've been holding out so long. I must say, it will get better now! I'm not doing DRAMA no more, so I'll have a LOT more free time! ^_^'' Sorry it DID take so long, heh. I wrote the above a looong time ago.
Sparrowslove: You have got problems. AND WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!! Telling everyone about the lemons in lemon... heeheehee..^_~
Dragonstar03 : Eh, it wasn't that soon. I'M SO SORRY!! *cries* *sniffles* and the chappie ain't that good either... so have a cookie sweets! *gives Dragonstar a cookie* ^^''
PiNkMoNkEyStAkInGoVeRmYwOrLd: ....?
Jack Sparrow is MINE: READ IT! You review.. to review MY story! Not advertise your own... dumbass. (it's okay people, I know this girl...)
Jules2004: Have I ye expressed my love for you? You are, my favorite. HA! *sticks tongue out at everyone else* A hit? Eh, I wouldn't call it a hit. I don't get that many reviews. :( I guess that it's probably because this is my first story, and I'm not all over the place. Or maybe it's because my writing sucks.... in my head I believe the latter, but the first one helps me deal with emotional problems. ^_^'' I wouldn't mind being a bystander in his dreams either.. but I'd rather be the one he's interacting with IN his dream. *winkwink* I did the vocab on purpose. I always thought she would be like that after hanging around Inu for a moment. Brilliant? eh, I couldn't go that far... heh. =^-^='' Well, umm... girl power? I think I got a lot of it in here, in this chappie, but in the end it's a little weird. He isn't really saving her, okay? I know it's a little spoiler... but yeah. *sighs* Ya know, if you ever want to talk, my AIM is Brittlebug! lol. *gives big box of Inu shaped cookies* I love you yo!
Where we left off…
[On their way home, Kagome remembered that Miroku had information on Naraku. She wanted to know who exactly he was. If his friend decided to join forces with Naraku, he must be pretty powerful. She explained to Sango while not noticing InuYasha listening.
'Perfect.' InuYasha thought. 'Soon, she'll find out about Naraku. We'll kill him once and for all, and then I can leave. Never to see any of them again.'
"Hey Miroku?" Sango asked. He and InuYasha stopped as they turned around.
"Yes?"
"You said you had information on Naraku right?"
"Yes, I do."
Kagome decided to step in, "Do you think we might be able to see it?"]
Chapter 7
"Little Girls Shouldn't Walk Home Alone in the Dark"
The group of four sat as the fifth member rummaged through an old garbage can in the next room.
"What the hell is taking him so long?" InuYasha asked, clearly agitated and ready for the coming information.
"Cleary, you haven't seen his room," Sango answered flatly, as she stroked Kirara's fur.
"Wait, I've never been in there either," Kagome said to herself.
Both the hanyou and the human looked at Sango, "How do you know what it looks like?"
"It was, uhh; group, umm, p-partner assignment?" ^^"
"Oh. Okay then," And Kagome left it at that, InuYasha, however…
"Bullshit."
"InuYasha!" Kagome exclaimed.
"Ahh, shut up wretch."
Kagome growled in frustration as she stared daggers at the hanyou.
"So, how long do you think it would really be?" Kagome asked Sango as she sat with Kirara and her novel for English class. Nothing like doing homework! (Hint sarcasm)
Sango looked up at Kagome and seemed to be thinking, "Well, it could be anywhere from 10 minutes to 3 days. You see, while he's searching for something in particular he might come across something he had lost a long while ago. Or just come across that sparks interest in that big head of his. So, he could get off track." the two looked at her. "Well, take for example he is looking for these papers, right?" they nod. "Well, he's looking for the papers when, all of a sudden, he finds something."
"Wow! I never thought I'd see you again!" Miroku sounded from his room.
Kagome and InuYasha raised an eyebrow in Miroku's direction. "Well, let's say it was a soda that he had last week."
"Hmmm." sounded Miroku with shaking sounds coming from the room.
"He'd forget about the papers, open the bottle," a cap opened up and the 'hiss' of shaken up soda roared. "And drink it down."
Miroku came in chugging down a Mountain Dew. It seemed that in just five seconds he had finished the more than halfway filled bottle and was now wiping his mouth off with his sleeve. "Mmmm! That's good stuff!" He said and tossed the bottle in the trashcan in front of them.
-_-;; The three all looked at him.
"Miroku? Where are the papers?" Kagome asked.
The monk raised an eyebrow, "Papers? What-"
"Told you," said Sango as she read her novel.
"OH! THOSE papers! Err, there in that place... hold on I'll go get them..." he turned around and ran back into his room searching.
InuYasha got up with flailing arms. "Feh. I've had enough of just waiting. Call me when he gets the papers. You know my cell." He turned and walked down the hallways. As he opened the door, "I'm out of here." And he was gone.
Kagome and Sango blinked before Kagome looked at the door that led to Miroku's room. Her eyebrows furrowed in that as she looked at her watch. The woman looked at Sango who had been watching Kagome intently. "I think I'll leave too. It's getting a little late and I still have school tomorrow."
"Okay. I'll call you tonight if he finds anything." Sango walked Kagome to the door.
"Thanks." She opened the door and walked out.
"No problem. Oh! And Kagome?"
Kagome's head popped back in the space. "Yes?"
"Be careful, okay? I know InuYasha said there were no demons out tonight... but..." she looked worried.
Kagome smiled, "It's okay Sango. I will. Besides, I'm hoping to catch up with him. I'll see ya tomorrow!" and she made her way down the apartment hallway.
"If anything happens, you can come back here or just call!" Sango yelled down the hallway.
Kagome kept running down the hallway and waved her hand without looking back, "I will!"
Sango sighed then smiled as she watched her friend run down the hallway. She turned around and walked back inside Miroku's apartment. "So, find anything....." she stopped and looked at Miroku who had came out of his room with a gooey sticky hand that he had more than likely purchased through a 25 cent toy machine at Ci Ci's Pizza. "Yet?" -_-;; she finished flatly.
Kagome ran out of the door of the apartment complex, "InuYasha!" she called and finished running until she stopped. The teen huffed, as she looked both ways and all around the sidewalk, "InuYasha?" she sighed. "Oh well, my house is only a few streets down." 'But I hate going passed that forest. It gives me the creeps.'
Her raven colored tresses seemed to gloss in the moonlight as her hair bounced. She had a brisk walk and kept thinking of how she needed to get home to get to bed. In addition, how it would be just so much easier if her mom had helped her out with that car she wanted. "And she just says no. As simple as that. I can't believe her...," she mumbled to herself.
The iridescent orange glow of the streetlights flowed onto her every few seconds. Orange...dark..........orange...dark. She looked down at her hands and sighed while stuffing them into her pocket.
SsssssSs...
Kagome stopped and turned around. 'Did I just hear something?' She looked around the small space. With a shrug, "I guess I must be imagining things," and continued her walk.
"ShhshSShh...
Kagome froze, "All right, now I know I heard something!"
She looked around. The forest on one side, and a vacant lot for a few meters. She new the houses beside the vacant lot were abandoned anyways, so no one could hear her if she called for help. The woman was underneath the orange lamplight, she noticed as she looked up and then down on the ground.
"Oh come on! There's usually SOMEthing nearby!" she exclaimed to herself as she looked down on the empty floor.
Suddenly she looked back up with half lidded eyes (-_-;) and reached on her shoulder for her bow and arrow.
"Stupid, stupid, stupid!" Kagome whispered to herself while she looked up and took up stance with the bow and arrow. "All right, who's there!?" she looked around ready, but could see nothing. "Show yourself!" she yelled.
'Oh great, it's dark. NO LIGHT! And I'm by myself. I just *had* to run off like that for InuYasha. Why did I? It's not like I like him or anything...' she thought to herself as she then glanced up. "Oh my God."
"Heh, heh, heh, heh...." the figure laughed lightly as it suddenly disappeared from over top of her.
"Hey! Get back here!" she called. 'What the hell am I saying? Come back? I don't want it to come back!'
A cockroach scattered its way into the light and scurried towards Kagome. Her eyes grew big as she saw the insect, "Eww! Aiieee!" She suddenly stepped on the cockroach. With a crunch, she then twisted her foot too make sure it was as good as gone. As she pulled her foot away, rustles come from behind her.
Kagome stopped and turned around, her bow not in proper formation. A giant...thing stepped out. It seemed to be a giant potato sack, but instead of rectangular, it had arms, legs…, and a head.
"Eh?!!" Her eyes grew large as she sweat dropped.
Giant Sack Man, or so she dubbed it, stomped cowering over her- 4 times her height.
"Oro?" she managed to let out. /. .\'
~
The thing seemed to screech as it lowered its burlap head at her. She squeezed her eyes shut as she turned her head. Finally, the screeching came to a halt. Kagome shivered, but suddenly felt something on her face... crawling. Her eyes shot open as a delicate hand reached up and took up the slim off her face. She turned her head to look at her hand, and had to catch herself screeching as she realized the bugs crawling on her and in the slim of dead ones.
She cringed as she flew her hand out, shaking off the access. Higurashi gazed at her hand in disgust before turning it back to the burlap sack.
"Oomph!"
As soon as she turned around, she was met with Mr. Giant Sack Man's arm and relocated two yards away from where she was standing. Her frame rising and falling violently as it lay skewn on the ground. She coughed as she got back up.
The sack came running at her and she quickly dodged the fat sack. It turned around and Kagome jumped up to kick it right across the head. It screeched again as bugs seemed to fly from its mouth.
'What is this thing made out of?' she thought as it came towards her again. "Oh shit!"
She hurled herself into its stomach, causing it to fall back on its back. She reflected off it and bounced back onto the asphalt. She smiled cockily, seeming to pick up traits of her certain hanyou friend.
Her smiled soon faded, as a needle seemed to fly across her face and her body. She jumped back and watched as the sack retracted back the scorpion into its arm.
"What the hell?" She went up to sidekick it when she was suddenly wrapped up. "What?" She looked down and felt herself being squeezed. Hundreds of little legs rubbed against her. "Err…" she struggled. Suddenly, the constricting stopped. She let out a sigh of relief and was about to bust her way out when, "AHHHH!" Kagome's head shot back. Those hundreds of little legs stabbed inside her body. She could feel the blood trickle from each tiny opening. "Ahh! Uhh…" Breathing getting heavier and her eye lazy.
The sack screeched his laugh while watching with red eyes at the girl. She glared back and then closed her eyes. She seemed to glow blue before the centipede suddenly melted away from her. She limply stood in the orange light before drawing a bow.
"On… the mark…" she cringed. She pulled it back and went to let it go when a tail of bugs seemed to emerge from the sack and whip the arrow off the bow. She huffed before pulling another one from her back.
The woman started to set the bow while whips of venom came from the sack and onto her face. Her clothing slowly shredding with each blow. Kagome squinted her eyes and pulled back her bow. "HIT the MARK!" She roared as she kicked the tail away and then shot the arrow.
The arrow glowed blue as it hit the giant sack right where its heart would be, and seemed to attach it to a corner of the vacant lot.
Kagome started walking slowly and confidentially towards the thing. Drawing arrows and shooting. Draw. Shoot. Draw. Shoot. Her eyes seemed filled with evil as she slowly but surely seemed to kill the demon sack. She seemed to yell as she shot an arrow into its head. Ignoring the whips the string of bugs seemed to lash against her body, she finally stood right in front of the sack.
A whip came out to lash against her face, and faster than lighting, she whipped out a lighter. The bugs bursted into flames and the demon sack screeched again. Kagome smirked and looked over the sack. She noticed a string that dangled down form its head to right in front of her feet. She bent over and flipped her lighter open.
She yelled in pain as soon as the fire ignited with the string. It seemed as if a giant blade scraped smoothly against her, now bare, back. "NOO!" She yelled and took the lighter into her hands, clasping it. She closed her eyes as the more whips came faster, harder.
Her eyes then flew open and her hands separated to show nothing. She squinted angrily before forming a giant fireball into her hands and firing rapidly at the sack.
"AHHHH! NO! NO! NO! AHHHH!" She yelled as she pushed her arms, firing the fireballs and running into the sack.
A last blow whipped across her and flinging her back on her side on the street in the orange circle of the streetlight. She flipped over and looked up at the light. Suddenly, the light flickered and blew up. Glass shattered down on the woman below.
Kagome cringed as she pushed herself up and onto her feet. Placing her hand onto her cheek and pulling it down, she could feel the thick liquid oozing through her fingers. She suddenly looked up at the fire now blazing in front of her. She looked down at her bow and cylinder of arrows. She picked them up, flew them on her back, and slowly started to walk off----the screeching of bugs in the fire filling he air behind her.
"Just... huff... A… huff... few more... huff... blocks..." She breathed heavily as she walked on. "Then… huff... I can get some... huff... bandages on these... huff things..." She shook her head and subconsciously pulled out her cell phone and keys. The petite young body fell suddenly onto the cold cement, flinging her stuff around. She slowly let go of her phone after she hit the floor.
"Hello? HELLO!?!!" Someone yelled.
"Inu… InuYasha..." She whispered in pain and fatigue.
"Kagome!?" worry in his voice.
"Hmmm?" she smiled before her eyelids shut and she could hear, taste, smell, touch, or speak no more....
