Chapter 3- The Death

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kagome sat in the taxi cab worrying about Miroku. She wasn't sure how bad the wounds were so maybe she was just working herself up over nothing, but what if they were bad.

The taxi cab came to a stop outside a huge hospital building. "That'll be $15.75" he said reading the price off the meter. Kagome pulled out some money from her pocket and handed him a twenty, "Keep the change" she said stepping out of the cab and hurriedly walked into the hospital.

Once in the building the smell of blood and sickness filled Kagome's nose. "Ehu" Kagome said, almost gagging. There was a young woman behind a desk up ahead. Kagome walked over to her desk and stood there for a moment. The woman didn't notice her; she was too busy answering phone calls. Kagome coughed slightly to try and get the attention of the woman. Again, she went unnoticed. Kagome was starting to get a little irritated. "Excuse me..." she said poking the woman on the shoulder. The woman just put a finger up to signal "just a moment." Kagome sighed and waited. The woman finally put down the phone, "Yes can I help you?" she asked. Kagome sighed, "Finally" she thought. She then said aloud, "I'm looking for a patient here at the hospital that goes by the name of Miroku." The woman looked on her computer her face suddenly looked very sad. "I'm very, very sorry dear. He died while in surgery, just a few hours ago." Kagome didn't move, she was too shocked to answer. She gulped, "...he died..." The woman now looked terribly sad and held Kagome's hand, "I'm afraid so, his injuries were very serious."

Kagome ran out of the hospital, tears running down her face. She just couldn't believe it. She ran down the busy sidewalks, bumping into tons of people, but she didn't even notice. She ran into an alley way, away from the crowd and cried.

Kagome awoke in the same alley way. "I must have fallen asleep" she said softly. Her tear stained face looked around, it was night time. She sighed, "I better be getting home" she said in a very gloomy tone. Suddenly a wind picked up, sending shivers down Kagome's back. Kagome turned around too look behind her, but no one was there. When she turned back around though, a tall figure stood right in front of her. It was that man....Inuyasha. Kagome stumbled back, she looked at him, his face was stiff showing no emotion. "Kagome, I'm here to warn you, you are in grave danger. You need to get out of this city." Kagome didn't move her eyes off him.

Why is he saying this?
Is he going to kill me?

Kagome finally built up enough courage to ask, "Why are you saying this, aren't you the one who wants to kill me?!" her gun was by her side, her hand ready to draw it. Inuyasha's face didn't change, "You've been warned" he then got very close to Kagome, staring down at her, "Please leave Kagome, I don't want to see you get hurt." A flash of smoke filled the air, and all that was left in Inuyasha's place was the signature red rose.

Kagome walked back to her apartment, the words still ringing through her head.

You need to leave the city
Please leave Kagome; I don't want to see you get hurt

Kagome was very confused, "Why didn't he kill me, just the other day I heard him talking about killing me in the alley. Better question, why didn't I shot him, it was my job as an officer.....I just couldn't...." Kagome stumbled up the stairs still thinking about it. She unlocked her apartment, layed her things down, and went strait for her bed. So much had happened in one day, it was almost unbearable. Kagome fell asleep that night, a tear rolling down her face.
