Disclaimer: I don't own Inu-Yasha
A/N: ummm…sorry. I haven't updated because truth be told I forgot about the story until today. Well that's mainly because of all the tests this past week, at least school is done. I just remembered today because it's my b-day (well technically next fri is but shh!) and I hate my family (they came over) so I typed this up! YAY!! Well I'll get on with it then!
Chapter 8- Caught
"Why do you think I have called you here?" The girl asked, her blue eyes looking mercilessly at Kagome.
"I do not know" Kagome answered as she stood up a little straighter.
"It is because things are moving too slow!" Her icy voice said, lingering in the air. Kagome winced. "It seems there is an obstacle of sorts. A certain detective maybe that has been renowned for her accuracy in solving cases. She will need to be dealt with; soon. But for now I'll settle for a couple more in the household dead. I'll be watching" She turned and disappeared into the graveyard.
Kagome also turned and started going back to the house; devising a plan at the same time. This time it'll be harder but if Kagome could just kill a few more her master would be pleased with her.
When Kagome returned to the house everyone except the family was gone and a room was taped off for official investigation. It was only about midday so Kagome decided to read a book for the time being.
6 hours later
Kagome smiled sinisterly in the darkness; it was almost time. She had been devising and perfecting the plan nearly all day while she read the book and now it was almost time to put it into action. Inu-Yasha had stayed the night. With his youkai abilities he would be able to keep watch.
This however did not threaten Kagome. If she as caught by him she would just play it off that she wanted a drink of water or was on her way to the bathroom. Kagome had a gleaming sharp dagger in its sheath in the waistband of her pajamas. She would use this knife rather than an ordinary kitchen knife. Unlike an ordinary knife her dagger did not leave any visible marks…inside the body or out.
She gracefully walked down the hall as if she was gliding over ice. As she took more steps across the room to the door out to the hall her heartbeat steadily increased. She reached out her hand and felt for the doorknob. Once she had hold of it she turned it and opened the door. She checked to make sure no one was there and began walking to the room she wanted.
The door to this particular room was covered with pop idols and celebrities. It belonged to the two ditziest girls in the house…Marissa and Melissa. As she opened the door Kagome peered inside. Marissa and Melissa were sleeping soundly with those beauty sleep masks on. It was quite a repulsive sight and the worst thing was the room itself. It had now been covered with sparkles and more posters of people who obviously had no sense of self-respect. This made Kagome's smirk deeper. It would be more meaningful to her now. She slipped the dagger out of her belt and it made a slight ringing sound. The end glowed a subtle green.
A few rooms over a certain someone heard this ringing. It really was not that hard to hear with his sense of it. Inu-Yasha silently got up and went to investigate. He could see where a door had been opened and strangely a soft green light wafted out the door. He sniffed the air and noticed that Kagome had been by here recently. His eyebrows furrowed in thought and confusion. He peered in the room and saw Kagome with what looked like a sharp dagger that was raised above her head ready to strike.
'Wait, what's she doing?' he wondered and then noticed that the strange green light was coming from the dagger. Before he could think anymore the dagger started to go down and he realized what Kagome was doing. She was trying to hurt, even kill the other girls. He ran into the room and caught Kagome's hand just as it was about to strike a very fatal blow.
Kagome gasped but didn't relinquish her hold on the dagger. Instead she took a second dagger out and stabbed behind her. She felt the dagger sink into Inu-Yasha's side and heard his surprise. Blood ran down the length of the dagger and dripped onto her hand, then onto the carpet. She took the dagger out and the wound sealed itself but it was in no way cured.
Inu-Yasha staggered back and let go of Kagome. A look of genuine surprise and confusion was displayed on his face. Kagome ran into the hall yet Inu-Yasha would not give up that quickly. Yes, it hurt like hell every time he moved but it was only physical pain. It could be dealt and coped with. He lunged and brought Kagome down to the floor. She struggled for a moment then very suddenly stopped. He got up a little and she sprang back to life. She was almost to the stairs when a battle cry was heard and many golden lines caught Kagome off guard and sliced her severely.
With a scream Kagome was defeated. She tetered between falling down the stairs and not falling at all. In the end she fell down the stairs; mass amounts of blood staining each and every stair.
There was blood running down the walls. It looked as though the house was bleeding instead of one girl. But there in lies the answer. Kagome was not a girl, nor was she a devil or an angel. She was the living dead that was sent back to death by the only person who couldn't have wished for more than to have saved her.
Next morning
The police were back as well as both detectives. "Very good job young man" Mr. Takini said to Inu-Yasha that was presently being treated for the wound Kagome had dealt him the previous night. "You've just helped avoid a homicide."
"Yes well, don't go having a big head now" Kagura said coldly from the doorway. 'If you could just answer some questions for me, that would help with the paperwork." Over the course of the next hour Kagura questioned him on the exact events of the previous night. Then as she put her notebook away she asked some rather personal questions. "What was the girl's name?" Kagura asked settling back into an armchair she had pulled up beside the bed Inu-Yasha was in.
"Kagome Higurashi" he answered
"Really now. That's interesting" Kagura's brilliant red eyes clouded over as she remembered a few years earlier.
"Looks like I have a new roommate" The girl said walking around Kagome to her bed and dresser
"Yeah, I just came here about thirty minutes ago" Kagome said to her
"What's your name" the girl asked with slight curiosity
"Higurashi Kagome, yours?" Kagome answered
"My name is Kagura" she said "I don't know my last name so I can't use it" A little sadness peeked through her guard. She quickly caught herself but not before Kagome caught it.
"Hmm…yes she was my roommate for awhile. She wasn't there very long though" Kagura muttered to herself but Inu-Yasha heard every word.
"What do you mean?"
"Oh, Higurashi Kagome was my roommate at the orphanage. Wasn't there for very long though, got adopted almost immediately. Me, I had no luck. No one in his or her right mind wanted a cold, smart ass 17 year old. So when I graduated last year I became a detective because of my own experiences. However! I do not have anymore time to spare so goodbye Mr. Inu-Yasha" She stood and curtly left, Mr. Takini also leaving.
"Maybe we'll see you again," Mr. Takini said kindly
"Maybe" Inu-Yasha replied not really thinking about anything except the exceptional pain and agony he was currently in"
A/N: Not the last chapter for anyone that thinks it is. Anyway! There will be only one or two more follow up chapters revealing well…you'll see. Bye!!!
