"Kagome I am so beating you!" Sango giggled.

"Oh be quiet! You know I'm no good at these games!" Kagome said back. Currently the two of them were engaged in versus mode on a video game. Kagome didn't know why she bothered playing these things. Sango always beat her, and she was not really a big video game fan. Nevertheless, she had to admit they were entertaining and she did love being entertained.

Sango threw down her control in victory. "Yes! I win again!"

Kagome sighed in defeat. "Good for you. Now can we do something else?"

"Sure. You wanna watch a movie?" Sango asked, digging through a stack of dvds.

"A movie? Why not? What movies do you have?"

Sango came out with the move Seven. "How about this one? It's one of my favorites."

Kagome sighed again. "You actually watch movies like that? You know I don't like thrillers."

"Well I do. They're really not so bad once you get used to them."

"Have I ever told you that you're a tomboy Sango?"

Sango giggled again. "Only a couple dozen times. There isn't anything wrong with that is there?"

"No, I guess not. Are you sure we can't watch anything else?"

"C'mon Kagome. If you get scared just do what I do. Just close your eyes and tell yourself it's not real."

So with some reluctance, Kagome allowed Sango to turn on the movie.

By the end of it, Kagome was squirming. She had never been a fan of gory movies like Seven, and the sheer brutality of the murders was a bit too much for her to handle. And the ending... well, let's not go there. The ending was too much. But Kagome had to admit the movie was well planned out. It had its moments.

Before either of them could speak, Sango's father spoke from down the hall. "Sango? Could I speak with you for a moment?"

"Coming dad!" Sango turned to Kagome. "Just do what you want for a bit. Dad needs me."

"Sure Sango."

As Sango left the TV room, Kagome yawned. For some reason she felt tired. So she went to the couch, laid down on it and closed her eyes.

"I wonder what Inuyasha is doing." she thought. "I hope he's okay. He's the one who came up with a way to protect me after all. I only hope nothing happens to him."

The more she tried not to worry, the more she did. Kagome knew that once her father wanted something, he would not stop until he got what he wanted. She knew that he was looking for her. She knew that he had killed Koga. And she knew that he would stop at nothing to get her back.

"Please not him." Kagome thought to herself. "Please don't let him get Inuyasha. He's my best friend. I can't let anything happen to him. My friends are the only thing I have left now."

Fear overcame her. If her father had gone after Koga, then it would only be a matter of time before he came after her friends. Kagome turned around so she lay on her stomach, buried her face into a nearby pillow and began to sob helplessly.

Kagome continued to weep into the pillow until she felt a hand on her back. "You okay Kagome? Something wrong?"

Kagome looked up at Sango, tears dripping from her eyes. "I'm okay Sango. I was just..." Her words trailed off and she sniffled. Kagome wiped her eyes with the sleeve of her blouse.

"You were thinking about your father, weren't you?"

"No. I was thinking about you, Miroku and Inuyasha. I'm worried about you guys."

"What for?"

Kagome sighed. "Because my father is the one who killed Koga."

Sango's eyes widened. "He what?!"

"Don't you remember the police cars that drove by yesterday? Me and Inuyasha were going to the store when we saw them at the Kasamatsu residence. A detective told us that Koga had been found with his throat cut. Thing was he was killed the night I ran way. It had to be my father. I'm sure of it."

Sango felt sick. She believed what Kagome had said about being dangerous, but she had believed that he would be this bad. If her father was not just abusive but murderous as well, they were in trouble. The only reason he would have gone to Koga's house would no doubt be to extract information on Kagome's whereabouts. Worse, that meant he was looking for her. Sango hoped and prayed that there would be no further bloodshed.

"Well, Kagome," Sango began, "if that's the case then we'll keep on our toes to protect you. I'm not just going to stand by and let a friend be hurt even more. If he comes by here, I'll give him what for."

Kagome smiled weakly. "Thanks Sango. I really appreciate all the help you're giving me."

Sango smiled back. "You wanna go shopping with me Kagome? I've got a lot of money in my allowance. We could hit the mall."

"Sure!"

Sango went to get her money. Kagome smiled, this time more happily. Aside from Koga's death, things were working out fine.

The walk had been pleasant. Kagome did enjoy walking somewhat. It was good for exercise, and just fun. And now they had reached the mall. Time for a bit of fun.

"You have anything in mind Kagome?"

Kagome shrugged. "No not really, I just-"

Before she could finish a hand fell on her shoulder.

"Well, well, I've got you now you little bitch!" growled a voice.

Kagome froze. She knew that voice.

"Hey Kagome what's the hold up?" Sango said, a bit further ahead. She turned around and her eyes widened. She spoke one word.

"Naraku!"

To be continued...

Okay so I left a cliffhanger. You'll find out what will happen next time. Hope you liked this chapter. Bye for now!
