Chapter 2: Unwanted News
Kagome had just fallen asleep when a knock came upon her door.
"C'min" she mumbled, sitting up and rubbing her eyes.
Looking at the clock, she sighed, realizing she had only slept about 30 minutes.
"Kagome, dear. I just wanted to inform you that the CNN interview has been cancelled, due to...err...earlier events" she said softly.
WHAM!
It hit her hard in the chest.
All at once, she remembered everything.
She remembered knocking on Kikyous door, no answer, then she remembered Jin and Yura helping her, then getting the door open, and then...Kikyou. Blood, the smell...Everything...
Sobs took control over Kagome's body, as Kaede rushed over to her bed and embraced her in a motherly hug.
"Shh. Now, now, everything will be fine..." Kaede soothed in her ear, rubbing small circles on the young girls back.
"No it won't! They will come after me! I will never get a decent boyfriend, I will never be in love, and I will never go walking along the beach with him. I won't get to do any of those things! I WILL NEVER GET MARRIED AND HAVE A BABY!" Kagome cried as Kaede continued to hug the poor girl.
"Shhh" Kaede continued to soothe her until she regained control over herself.
Kaede knew the next thing she had to tell her would take her fear and sadness away and replace it with anger, so she mentally got prepared.
Blowing her nose, Kaede spoke up. "Oh, and one more thing, dear." She started.
Hooonk, sniff, sniff
Kaede smiled.
"What is it?" Kagome asked.
"Well. Your grandfather feels it would be best if...well...You got a. Oh how can I say this?" Kaede said nervously.
"Go on." Kagome encouraged.
Kaede sighed, and then told her.
A piercing scream filled the entire third floor, and bounced off of the walls, making Kaede hold her hands over her ears.
"I WILL NOT HAVE A BODY GUARD! I AM 18! I AM ENTIRELY CAPABLE OF PROTECTING MYSELF! I AM SPEAKING TO GRANDFATHER ABOUT THIS!" Kagome shouted, racing from her room and down to the second floor, and into her grandfather's study.
Her grandfather had heard every single word, and smiled as she barged in the door.
"HOW COULD YOU DO THIS? I DO NOT NEED A BODY GUARD!" Kagome protested.
He just put one hand in the air, silencing her.
"Now, Kagome, I understand, and acknowledge your wishes, but I feel that it is best if you have 24 hour protection. I have called in and made a special request that your body guard be a half demon, for more strength, as full demons feel they are not worthy of protecting humans." He ended there, leaving Kagome open-mouthed and stunned.
"But how could you!" she whined, making her grandfather wince.
"Kagome, you will have 24 hour protection. Your body guard will be arriving tomorrow morning, so I suggest you tell Kaede to prepare the room that joins your own, and then I suggest you get some dinner. It's been a long day."
Kagome's grandfather had a way of making a conversation final, so, with a heavy heart and an angry soul, she retreated back to her room, finding Kaede still sitting on her bed.
She walked in the room and slammed the door, causing the mirror over her vanity to shake and almost fall to the floor.
"Grandfather asked me to ask you to prepare the joining room for my body guard." Kagome informed the old lady through gritted teeth.
Kaede had to stop herself from grinning at the young girl's feistiness.
Kagome had gotten it honestly from her father. He had died alongside her mother and brother in a car accident when she was only 15. Kagome had been scarred for life.
"Yes Kagome-chan." Kaede said, bowing.
Kagome ignored the formal way Kaede replied, and went downstairs for dinner like her grandfather had suggested.
The cooks, Kaiyo and Mika were already in bed, so Kagome raided the fridge and made herself a sandwich that she ate hungrily.
Polishing her meal off with a glass of milk, she glanced at the clock on top of the fridge.
"9:46." Kagome muttered under her breath and decided to get to bed early to wake up for her wonderful new body guard.
"Wonderful my ass" Kagome said to herself as she trudged back up the stairs.
When she returned, Kaede had left for bed and Kagome was finally alone in her room to think things over.
Sure, she was scared for her life, but it all felt surreal, almost like a dream.
Not caring to set her alarm, hoping Kaede or her grandfather, or better yet, the doorbell would wake her up, she changed into her pajama's that she hadn't done earlier and crawled under her red satin sheets and fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.
