Why Me?!

Again, I'm sorry it took so long for me to update. My bestest best friend and her family got kicked out of her house so I spent most of my time worrying about her, but after that I was either to lazy or to tired to write. LMAO.

Last Time

"When I was 13 I had this best friend. We did everything together. A week before my 14th birthday everything changed. I didn't know I was a miko then, you see, and I couldn't control my powers. Something very bad happened, and now my best friend is out for revenge." She said, making it short and to the point, not telling them anything but the outline. She had made it seem like something innocent, but it was not. It was much more complicated then that.

"Who was your best friend?" She heard InuYasha ask. She shook her head and smirked.

"That is something I'm not telling you, but you'll find out the rest of the story sooner or later. I just hope later."

Chapter 4 – Imaginary –

Kagome sighed as she scrubbed her hair in the shower. She had finally found a place where InuYasha could not follow her! He had followed her around all day the day before and the most of today, asking her questions about her past. Kagome, in turn, had spent the whole day and a half avoiding and denying his questions. Finally, just as she was about to scream, Rin suggested that Kagome go take a shower. So here she was, washing her hair for the 6th time, trying to stall enough so that InuYasha would leave his post, which she knew he had taken up outside her bathroom door, so she could finally relax without all kinds of questions that brought up painful memories.

Sighing, Kagome grabbed the conditioner from the rack on the wall. She felt totally weird, being in the shower around noon. Rinsing her hair she decided that InuYasha would probably be gone by now, having gotten bored waiting for her. She stepped out of the shower and grabbed her towel, wrapping it around herself and opening the bathroom door.

"Feh. Took you long enough, bitch. Did you think I would go away if you took long enough? Wrong." Kagome almost screamed and high-tailed it to her walk-in closet, shutting and locking the door behind her. She got dressed in a pair of black jeans and a big black T-shirt, feeling to lazy to try to look nice. Hesitating she opened the door and ran to the bathroom, but InuYasha stopped her from closing the door in his face. He pushed the door open all the ways and leaned against the door jam. "You know, avoiding people is really rude. You should fix that." He snorted.

Kagome looked around, trying to find something to keep her from answering his questions. Her wet hair slapped against her back, wetting her shirt and giving her an idea. Just as InuYasha opened his mouth Kagome plugged in the hair dryer, turning it on and aiming it at her head. She felt the hot air hit her face, burning it until she had it aimed at her hair, which blew in all directions.

"Who is your best friend?" InuYasha asked. Kagome looked over to him and pretended not to hear him because of the hair dryer. She shrugged her shoulders, signaling that she couldn't hear him.

"What! I can't hear you!" She watched as InuYasha's face darkened, showing his annoyance.

"I said, who is your best friend?!" He yelled. Kagome heard him just fine, but she still pretended to not be able to hear him. She shrugged her shoulders and smiled when he threw up his hands and stalked off. When she was finished blow drying her hair she put it up into a ponytail and went downstairs, looking around the corners for Inuyasha. Seeing Rin playing her games in front of the TV she walked over and sat down next to her.

"Hey, Rin. What's up?" Rin shrugged, involved with his game. The front door opened and Kagome tensed up, expecting InuYasha to come in. Instead, Sango and Miroku came through the door, smiling and laughing. Kagome couldn't believe they were actually hanging out together without Miroku trying anything until, she saw Miroku reach and Sango scream.

"Hentai!" She slapped him, knocking him unconscious, and stormed over to Kagome and sat down next to her. Looking into Sango's eyes Kagome could've sworn she saw something close to amusement in her eyes, but in the next instant it was gone. Shaking her head Kagome smiled.

"He still hasn't learned? Dumb ass." Rin agreed with her and all three women laughed at Miroku's stupidity for a few moments.

"Kagome, I have good news for you." Sango told her after they all finished laughing. Questioningly Kagome looked at her and sighed, knowing Sango wouldn't tell her until she asked, and maybe begged.

"What, Sango?" Sango smiled and pretended to think about if she wanted to tell Kagome or not. "Have you finally found a way to keep InuYasha away from me, or least keep him from asking questions?" Sango shook her head no.

"The state fair is opening today, Kagome. It is tradition for us to go there every year..." Kagome squealed, having totally forgotten about the fair. She had been going there every year since she was little, and still loved it as much as she had the first time she had gone.

"When do you want to go, you guys?"

"Go where?" The girls looked behind them to see that Miroku had finally woken up with a rather large bump on his head, which he was currently rubbing.

"To the fair, lech." Sango said, annoyance in her voice.

"We go every year, it's kind of a tradition for us." Kagome explained to him further and he moved to sit on the couch, groaned in pain and still rubbing the lump on his head.

"I heard there are some new rides and other stuff this year." Rin said, her attention still on the TV screen in front of her.

"I hope so. I hope they all go fast and high and upside-down." Kagome said, giggling. She loved rides that made her stomach clench. "And you are coming with me on some of them, Sango." Sango backed away in horror.

"No, you know I hate those kind of rides, Kagome. I'll puke for sure." Kagome laughed and put her arm around Sango's shoulder.

"Too bad, Sango. Too bad." Sango groaned and Kagome laughed.

"We won't have to go on the Ferris Wheel, will we?" Miroku asked, his eyes closed and his head leaning against the back of the couch.

"Awww, is Miroku afraid of the Ferris Wheel?" Kagome said, as if she were talking to a baby.

"Hell yeah! Have been ever since I saw Mighty Joe Young." Kagome raised her eyebrows at him, even though he couldn't see her.

"Well, you are going on it with us, whether you like it or not. Don't worry, it's always the last thing we go on before we go home."

"Hmmm, have a little fun before we die, huh? Sounds like a plan." The girls laughed as InuYasha walked in the front door with Sesshoumaru and Kouga. Kagome gasped and hid behind Sango, knowing he would find her, even if it was impossible to see her.

"Hey, Kagome!" He called, seeing her move behind Sango. She stepped out from behind the girl and looked for a place to run, to no avail. He jogged up to her, grabbed her arm so she couldn't get away, and opened his mouth to speak.

"Does anyone want to go to the fair with me today?" Kagome asked loudly, cutting InuYasha off before he had the chance to say a word. Everyone except InuYasha, who was glaring at her, said yes and went into their rooms to get ready. Kagome followed Sango into her room and slammed the door in his face.

"You can't come in, Sango's getting undressed!" She yelled through the door. He growled loud enough that she could hear him through the door and she giggled silently. It was true Sango was getting undressed, but she was doing it in her bathroom, not in the actual bedroom itself.

"He's not going to give up until you give him and answer, you know." Sango said in a low voice as she stepped into her room. Kagome sighed and shook her head.

"I know, but I can't tell him. What I did so many years ago, it's painful. Once he knows who she is he'll wanna know what else happened and I don't think I can handle the looks on their faces when they find out what I did." Kagome said, staring at the floor. She could feel InuYasha's aura in his room, so she knew he had not heard her. She sighed gratefully when Sango hugged her, reminding her that there were people out there that knew her story and still loved her.

"I love you, Kagome. I'm sure Rin does, too. You're like a sister to us and we'll never turn our backs on you because of something that happened in the past, ok?" Kagome nodded and smiled.

"Are you done yet? I wanna get to the fair sometime today." Sango laughed and they exited the room, seeing everyone else in the living room. They all got into two cars, Kagome's and Sesshoumaru's. They drove away from the mansion and, after failing to find something the listen to on the radio, started to sing.



I linger in the doorway
Of alarm clock screaming
Monsters calling my name
Let me stay
Where the wind will whisper to me
Where the raindrops
As they're falling tell a story

In my field of paper flowers
And candy clouds of lullaby
I lie inside myself for hours
And watch my purple sky fly over me

Kagome smiled when Sango and Rin joined in, and they heard the guys honking behind them, a sure sign that they could hear them singing. For the guys benefit they all started singing louder, Sango humming some of the background music.

Don't say I'm out of touch
With this rampant chaos- your reality
I know well what lies beyond my sleeping refuge
The nightmare I built my own world to escape

In my field of paper flowers
And candy clouds of lullaby
I lie inside myself for hours
And watch my purple sky fly over me

Swallowed up in the sound of my screaming
Cannot cease for the fear of silent nights
Oh how I long for the deep sleep dreaming
The goddess of imaginary light

Kagome laughed as she finished, Sesshoumaru and the rest pulling up beside them, with Miroku leaning over from the passenger seat and honking the horn a few more times before Sesshoumaru stopped him with a glare. Kagome sped and, and laughed some more when Sesshoumaru sped up too. Deciding to race Kagome hit the pedal a barreled on front of the guys, with Sango and Rin whistling her on.

They got to the fair grounds first and easily found a place to park. They got out off the car and walked over to where the Demons' had parked.

"We beat you, we beat you!" Kagome sang, gloating and twirling around. She pulled sango and Rin by the hands, getting all day stamps (the ones that let you go on unlimited rides) and taking them to the first ride, the Gravitron. InuYasha and Sesshoumaru followed the in, saying Miroku and Kouga went to go get some cotton candy. The girls leaned against the padded things on the wall, with InuYasha next to Kagome and Sesshoumaru on the other side.

The door closed and the ride started spinning, going faster and faster. Kagome, after being able to set her feet against the wall and not the floor, was the first one of the four to slide up to the top. Her head and body being forced against the sliding panel in the wall. She heard InuYasha slide up and turned her head in his direction with much difficult. He smiled at her and she felt her inside flop, but she blamed it on the ride and smiled back at him. His golden eyes were glittering with excitement, and Kagome held them until she hit the bottom when the ride slowed down before speeding up again. When the ride was finished Kagome got off the wall and almost fell because she was dizzy. InuYasha caught her and she looked up at him, her stomach doing flops again.

"Whoa. I'm dizzy." InuYasha laughed. He seemed to have forgotten about his questions, for now.

"I'll say. You can't even stand up without falling, wench." She glared at the name he called her but let it slip, determined not to let him ruin her evening. They met up with Miroku and Kouga, who gave them each a cotton candy. Some people came over too, and asked for their autographs, which they were happy to give. Then they went over to the ride that looked like to hammers, and it swung you upside-down.

"Come on, Sango. You have to come on with me. I'm not taking no for an answer." Kagome said to her friend, dragging her into the line. The kids on front of them asked for their autograph as the line moved up.

"Please, Kagome? Don't make me go on it please! If I throw up, I'm going to make sure to turn in your direction." Kagome laughed.

"Then I better hope you don't throw up, huh?"

Happy now? It is 2:11 in the am, and I'm tired. But im too scared to sleep cuz I went to see THE GRUDGE last night! Omg it was so scary, I was covering my face and ears and had my knees up to my chest for the whole 105 minutes it played. Let me tell you, they wasted no time getting to the scary past, and they managed to keep it scary the whole time. At least I didn't scream, like half of the audience. I love my house; we built it, so I know no one has been killed here. Im not so sure about the ground my house was made on though....
