On with the fic.
Just as Kagome and Inuyasha's lips were about to meet a cheery voice yelled out, "Yo Kag…" Inuyasha jerked back as though burned and glared at the approaching figure. Kouga had trailed off when he realized the position that the two had been in. He frowned and then turned a heated glare at Inuyasha, who matched it.
Kagome had winced when she heard the voice and was now simply staring at Inuyasha, who was too busy still glaring at Kouga. Suddenly Inuyasha's golden orbs flicked to Kagome and held her gaze for a few tense seconds before he got and left without another word.
Kouga glared at Inuyasha's back before turning and walking over to where Kagome was sitting with an unreadable expression on her face. "Was I interrupting something?" Kouga asked coolly, snapping Kagome out of her trance. "Of course not," was Kagome's only reply.That afternoon Kagome walked with Sango to her house, however, all through the walk Kagome had made little if no interaction with the other girl. When they arrived at Sango's residence Sango stopped Kagome and asked worriedly, "Kagome are you alright?" "I'm fine Sango, why do you ask?" "Well maybe because you're usually lively and today it's like I've been talking to myself," Sango reasonably answered. Kagome's jaw went slightly slack at the true statements before she replied, "I'm sorry, I've just been distracted with school things." "Are you sure that's all?" Sango persisted, searching her raven-haired friend's face for any trace of concealment. Kagome sighed heavily and responded, "I'll tell you later, but for now I want to meet your family so let's get a move on!"
Before Sango could protest, Kagome pushed her past the gate and up to the front door. The door flew open and before anything else could be said, a small blur dashed out of the house and glomped Sango. Kagome stared for a few second before realizing that the blur was a young boy with raven black hair and large brown eyes. The boy was talking rapidly and seemed to only have eyes for Sango.
Sango reached over and placed her hand on the boy's shoulder. Immediately the chatter stopped and the child looked at the teen with wide, expecting eyes. "Kohaku, this is Kagome, my friend from school. Kagome, this is my younger brother Kohaku." Kohaku turned and smiled as his large eyes locked with Kagome's.
Kagome smiled at the sweet looking boy then it faded as a huge wave of homesickness assaulted her. Kohaku reminded her of her own little brother Souta. "Kagome are you alright?!" an urgent voice broke into her thoughts. Her head snapped up to meet the very worried eyes of Sango and Kohaku. She nodded and, after finding her voice, replied, "sorry, I must have spaced out again."
After the incident at the front door, things ran smoothly for Kagome. Sango introduced her to her father and then they watched Kohaku practice martial arts, with the occasional boast from the young boy. After two hours Kagome bid farewell to Sango and her family and headed for her aunt's apartment. She knew that it was probably a mistake to decline Sango's offer to walk her home, but she also thought that she had be self-sufficient. However, Kagome had to admit that she was a bit scared to be walking alone when a murderer was out looking for her. She shook the thought out of her head and quickened her pace, looking around at all shadows. She cursed the fact that Sango's house was in a secluded area but rejoiced when she reached the main roads, where many people were present and she wouldn't be alone. Her thought now began to stray to a certain golden-eyed boy who had been about to give her her first kiss that afternoon.
She cussed herself out mentally for even giving that stubborn ass a second thought. However, much to her dismay, she couldn't help it. 'Why do I keep thinking about him? He was my sister's and besides he hasn't been the nicest person to me.' She sighed and looked up then froze, she had not noticed that the was darkening this fast and she still had a little ways to go before she got home. Unless….unless she cut through the park. Kagome looked around a little desperately then straight ahead.
She was now at the gates of the park. She knew that the way was shorter by quiet a bit, yet the dark, desolate look of the park was really making her uneasy. She looked to the sky yet again then made her decision, clutching her back pack tighter, she entered the park.
Any sound startled her and any shadow that moved made her quicken her pace. She felt cold beads of sweat trickle down her neck and her nerves being stretched to the breaking point. She looked ahead and sighed with relief as the exit to the park came into view. She quickened her pace just a step more, but just as she was about the cover the final yards to the exit, a large, cold hand descended on her shoulder, while another muffled her terrified scream.
Oooh, bad me! Cliffhanger! Please Review! Ja ne!
