Chapter 13: Hurting and Haunting
………………………………………………………………………………………………
Kagome crawled out of the well and ran from the haunting well house. The same cold rain carried on through the same dark day. Mom watched her through the windows as she ran down to the street and just simply ran away. Away from the well, away from the shrine, away from the ties to the feudal era. Finally she got tired and drenched and sat in a bus stop and cried. Two busses went by and she just kept crying, and then, someone sat next to her. He was a broad boy with a red shirt, long black hair and purplish eyes. "What's wrong?" He asked with compassion in his voice. Between sobs, she tried to answer. "I've lost my love in a well." She gazed into his lovely dark eyes. They looked familiar. "I'm Kagome." His smile was warm. "My name's Yasha." He answered sprightly. "Can I take you somewhere? You've been sitting here for quite a while." She looked around her. "Do you know where the old shrine is? I don't know where I am." She asked meekly. He nodded and winked. His car was parked in the lot right behind them. She opened the door, and the car had doggie decorations in it. "You like dogs?" Kagome asked. "Ya…I am…um…." He cut himself off. "You wouldn't believe me if I told you." She was perplexed. "Try me, Yasha. I've seen some pretty strange things." He sighed. "Some say I am the reincarnation from the once great Inu-Yasha. But you probably don't know who that is." Around his neck, she spied a necklace with brown beads and white fangs. "I believe you, Inu-Yasha." She kissed him on the cheek. "They say I am the reincarnation of Kikyo herself." He looked surprised as they pulled up. The rain had cleared to show a beautiful starry sky. She smiled at him as she got out of the car. "Kagome, wait!" He called after her. "Can I see you again sometime? Ya know, to reunite Inu-Yasha and Kikyo." She smiled and said, "Inu-Yasha and Kikyo are reunited at last." She skipped away before he could reach her.
The next day, Kagome wanted to go to the feudal era instead of school, but she now had no choice. She took her seat in the class with her friends. "Class," The teacher addressed. "This is our new student, Yasha." Yasha waved shyly. "We would also like to see if anyone would like to write letters to our former foreign exchange students, Lizzykun and Brittchan." Yasha took the empty seat next to Kagome. "HI." His smile was warm and friendly. Kagome watched him as he sat there listening intently and fiddling with his bead and fang necklace. His dark hair was long and scattered around his face. He had his dark eyes fixed on his textbook. Kagome scribbled him a note. "You're my Inu-Yasha from the other day, aren't you?" He slipped a piece of notebook paper from his book. "Ya, but how did you possibly know that?" She thought about her answer, and finally she leaned over to him and whispered, "Sit!" in his ear. Yasha hit the desk faster than the kid up front fell asleep. Kagome giggled to herself. "Kagome, Yasha, pay attention!" The teacher barked. They sat in silence for a minute or two. Yasha scribbled a note to Kagome. "You wanna go out sometime?" She looked at the paper and looked at him and smiled. "Kagome!" the teacher called. "Stand in the hall! Yasha, you too!"
They stood in the hall while the crabby old teacher taught the class. Kagome stared out the window, out into the schoolyard. "I wonder how Brittchan and Lizzykun are." She wondered aloud. A small cat wandered across the schoolyard. For a second, she thought it had two tails and was a white and dark brown cat. Yasha watched her as her mind wandered. "She's perfect. She fits the Inu's description of Kikyo. Does she have the Jewel? If anyone does, it's her." He thought to himself. The bell rang and people filled the halls. "Does 7 work for you?" Kagome asked. He smiled, waved, and walked off. She was in love again.
