Chapter 4

The letters

It has been 4 weeks since the breakup and everything in the Sakura Kingdom was gloomy since the princess hasn't smiled or laughed in a long time. Kagome went for a walk for awhile but when she came back she saw a letter on her door. She picked it up and saw it was addressed to her so she opened it and read it. When she finished reading it she became afraid and ran inside and locked the doors.

'Hey Kagome what's up' said Sango.

'LEAVE ME ALONE' said Kagome frightened.

'Huh' said Sango.

'Oh its you, Sorry Sango' Kagome calmed down.

'Kagome are you feeling ok' said Sango putting her hand to her forehead to see if she was running a fever.

'Im fine, just peachy' said Kagome meekly pushing Sango's hand away.

'Are you sure'?

'YES!' She said and ran up the before Sango could ask her anymore questions.

Each day when Kagome walked around the castle she found more letters that was addressed to her. She became more protective and insecure around people even her friends. She didn't bother going outside anymore.

'Have you noticed Kagome has been acting strange lately' asked Sango.

'Yup' miroku and Rin unison.

'Anyone have a clue' said Rin.

'Nope they responded.'

'She's keeping something from us' said Miroku.

'No really' Rin said sarcastically.

'Hmm lets think she started acting strange since a couple days ago when she came inside the castle' said Sango.

'Ok that's a start' said Rin.

'Then she seemed uptight when she told me to leave her alone and I swear that I saw something in her hand' said Sango thinking back.

'Ok then that might answer why she's acting so strange' said Rin.

'Let's go up to her room and see if we can find any clues' said Miroku.

They agreed and went up to her room. They checked if Kagome wasn't in her room before going inside. They looked around searching for evidence.

'MIROKU I DON'T THINK SHE WOULD HIDE IT IN HER DRAWER Sango yelled.

'She could have said Miroku smiled feeling around inside the drawer.

I DOUBT IT WOULD BE IN HER BRA AND UNDERWEAR DRAWER! she screamed.

'You got a point' said Miroku closing the drawer and continued to search.

'Hey guys I think I found something' said Rin as she pointed to a trash full of letters.

They picked up a letter and it said…

Another said.

Leave now and I'll spare your life.

'Hmm that doesn't seem too bad' said Miroku.

P.S. NOT!

'Never mind' when he read the P.S.

'No wonder she's so uptight and scared' said Sango

'I hope Kagome is alright' said Rin.

'OMG KAGOME where is she' said Sango.

'We have to tell her mom and find her they panicked.

The friends ran out of her room and crashed into someone.

'Oww they all said.

'Oww guys watch where you're going' said Kagome.

'OMG Kagome you're alright as Sango' hugged her.

'Of course I'm alright why wouldn't I but the question is, are you'?.

'Umm no reason, we're fine' she said letting go.

'Why where you guys in my room' said Kagome she said suspiciously

'Umm we were,' 'we were ummm' said Sango trying to think of a lie.

'We were playing Hide and Seek' said Rin.

'Yea that's it what she said we were playing hide and seek and Miroku was it and we hid in there' said Sango recovering for her hesitated answer.

'Aren't you a little too old to play 5 year old games' said Kagome crossing her hands staring at her friends.

'Well we were bored and decided to play', said miroku. 'Plus it's a harmless game that you can never get too old for'.

'Ok then why were you running like you seen a ghost' Kagome asked not believing their excuse.

'Well Miroku groped me and I was gonna kill him and we happened to bump into you' said Sango faked smiled.

'Whatever' said Kagome and walked into her room.

The friends ran off to tell her mother when Kagome screamed 'YOU LITTLE SPYING LIARS' and ran after them. The 3 ran as fast as they can and dared not look back. Miroku slipped and fell on the floor.

'MMIROKU' screamed Sango when she saw him fall and she stopped dead in her tracks.

'GO I'll be alright' screamed Miroku. I hope.

Sango saw Kagome coming and she ran off. Miroku screamed in pain when Kagome beat the crap out off him. When he was unconscious she ran after the other 2. When the 2 girls reached Lady Higurashi's throne they bust open the door and huffed saying Your majesty we need to talk to you it's urgent.

By the time Kagome reached the throne, her mother had place down the letters the 2 girls had shown her. Lady Higurashi looked at her daughter in shock.

'Kagome how long many of these letters did you get' said her mother worried.

She huffed trying to catch her breath and then glared at her so called tattletale friends.

'Answer me!'

'A lot' Sango answered for Kagome.

Kagome stared at her friend.

'I'll be quiet' she said quietly.

'And you didn't tell me this why' Lady Higurashi said not pleased at her daughters actions.

'I didn't tell you because I knew you would act like this' she cried. 'I didn't want you to worry.'

'Kagome I'm worried because someone is out there to kill you and you're here not telling me not to mention defenseless.'

Kagome didn't respond she just looked at her feet that were red and burning from all that running.

'Kagome what if he or she got a hold of you and I didn't no where you were!' Her mother cried out.

'Sorry' she muttered.

Her mother sighed 'Kagome I can't have you going out there and if you for some reason do go out at least have someone there to chaperon you.'

'Bu-But mother.'

'No buts I will find you the best bodyguard there is and make sure your safe now go' her mother ordered.

Kagome left wit her friends following her.

'We're sorry Kagome' as they walked back wit her.

'Its ok I understand' she sighed.

They walked back to their rooms silent passing by the unconscious Miroku
