So Little We Know
Chapter 2
By the time Kagome was allowed to leave to go home from the Nurses office, she was in such a foul mood, that little steam ringlets began to emanate from her ears. Grumbling to herself in discontentment, she made her way through the now lonely hallways, whose only voice was the echoing of her footfalls. 'This was supposed to be a happy day!' Kagome thought to herself, 'Why can't I just have a little bit of norm in my life and have a good time on the final day of school and the beginning of summer?' hanging her head low more in contemplation than sorrow, she let out an relieving sigh, 'I just don't understand,'.
"HEY KAGOOMMEE!!" came the happy squeal of an all too familiar voice. 'We came to pick you up from school!"
"Shippo?" Kagome ran right over to the Kitsune as soon as she saw the gigantic lumps on his head "What happened?"
"Dog man threw me into windows!" he chirped happily.
"I'm not dog man!"
"Oh, I'm sorry. Dog boy then," Inu-Yasha just glared at him, obviously too tired to really do anything.
"Why would you do that Inu-Yasha?" asked Kagome. With an exasperated sigh, he unfolded his hands and stuck them to his hips.
"To check on you of course! Duh!"
"Oh….Kay….We're going home now before we attract more attention," as Kagome turned abruptly with Shippo on her shoulder, Inu-Yasha finally took notice of his surroundings and saw that there was a rather large flock of people who had gathered around him and were starting to reach for his ears. "NO!! STAY AWAY!!" he yelled at them, but to no avail. As he started to break away from the crowd, a mass of outstretched hands, groping for his ears began to follow his trail. "DON'T TOUCH ME!!" Inu-Yasha bellowed as he ran down to the Higurashi shrine in a cloud of dust, clutching his now flattened, fuzzy triangles.

Small and haunting lights lit the dank and musty room which smelled strongly of mildew. The seeping walls of the close nit quarters was papered with sticky webs of marrow gold, sprinkled with the occasional spider that creeped about sluggishly. Sitting at a water dampened desk piled with ancient parchment which began to wilt and fade from the humidity, sat a slumped and huddled form, scratching in the loneliest manner. "I will have her! I will have her by Joe," it cackled. The voice of that creature was so dry and archaic that it gave one the sensation of a prehistoric origin. "Hehehehe! She's going to pay! She going to PAY!" the creature laughed hauntingly to himself as distant eyes stared out at him with awe and fear. The ancient and rotting desk was suddenly showered upon with a brilliant blue orb of light that had ignited in the palm of the raspy figure. The ethereal blue swirled and curved around itself as it gave the image of an attractive young girl with bright eyes and bouncing, flowing, night black hair. "She's going to paaayyy!" the prehistoric creature drawled out in raspy breaths before the tele-ball was tainted crimson with the things evil thoughts.

As the day wore on to sunset, Kagome was unexpectedly thwarted from going home immediately seeing as how there was a bunch of people surrounding the ancient tree, with their hands outstretched, obviously reaching for something. "What do you people think you are doing around my home!" she cried out. Shippo had some how managed to crawl into her back pack after having the harrowing adventure of a herd of little girls chasing him around thinking that he was the latest, animated doll.
"Must….touch….ears…." they moaned in their monotonous voices. Totally bewildered, Kagome looked up to the tree tops to see what the people were acting so weird about. Wrapped around a branch, Inu-Yasha clung to dear life as the mob of zombie like humans reached for him in order to pet his ears.
"KAGOME!!" he whined from his perch, "Make them go away!!"
"Just….Just…stay right there!" Kagome called back as she ran back to her home, her books and riding contraption forgotten in a heap near the entrance of gate to her home. Ten minutes later she came out with Shippo who held lots of snacks and they both plopped down on the steps to watch Inu-Yasha squirm.
"AREN'T YOU LOSERS GOING TO DO ANYTHING!!!" he cried out.
"Nahh," Shippo replied. "This is classic entertainment."
Later that night, when the mob of humans had finally lost interest in Inu-Yasha, he Kagome and Shippo had just sat down in Kagome's room to discuss about the Shikon Shards as the moon creeped over the night sky. "I still think that we should leave the shards here in my time," Kagome told a grumpy Inu-Yasha who was still itchy over her leaving him up in the tree.
"No, evil demons will come to take the jewel for themselves," argued Inu-Yasha.
"There aren't any here Inu-Yasha! Don't you think that demons would have hunted me down by now if there any here?"
"What are you talking about dumbass?! You were almost killed by one today!"
"Oh yeah? When?"
"Don't you remember? Geez what an air head. We were about to walk off the hard trail when a flashy, stinky, and noisy one went right by you! If it weren't for the magical red light that keeps them in check, they would be all over the place trying to kill people!"
"Inu-Yasha, those are cars," Kagome announced in her most annoyed tone while holding her head with the left hand. "They are a way of transportation and are most assuredly are not demons."
"Yes they are!"
"No. They are not. They don't eat people and they don't lash out viciously when you pet them the wrong way."
"It didn't seem so to me," Inu-Yasha gruffed.
"Hey Kagome?" Shippo asked.
"Yes?"
"What is a Tampo--" he was cut short as Kagome grabbed the long 'stick' from his hands while he was reading the label on it. Apparently, he had taken it upon himself to go through her things and scatter them all around the room.
"You shouldn't go through peoples' things without asking them first Shippo!" said Kagome to the small child in her most aggravated and embarrassed voice possible.
"Why would you have a stick in your pack-pack?"
"It's back-pack Shippo, and because….well…." Kagome began to blush a furious shed of crimson as she searched for words to describe the 'stick'. Suddenly, Shippo's eyes grew wide and bright with understanding, "Ohhh! I get it it! It's a pen! Yes, yes. See Inu-Yasha!" Shippo cried out as he tore the 'stick' away from Kagome's grasp to give to Inu-Yasha, "You dip soft tip into the ink well!"
"You are such a dips hit! You don't just 'dip it', you need push this end to make it longer for you to use," as Inu-Yasha pushed on the opposite end, the cotton filling popped out onto the floor, much to the dissatisfaction of Shippo.
"Well, that defeats the purpose rather well doesn't it?" Shippo declared, "Hey Kagome?" he called out, looking around for Kagome, who had somehow managed to disappear.
In an adjacent room, Kagome sat huddled in a corner clutching her head in agony due to the nativity of the two demons who had decided to take residence in her room. 'Why me?' she thought, 'Why am I asked THOSE kind of questions? Why oh why?'. In a desperate attempt to calm her nerves, she looked up to seek out the the feather white moon in the sky. It hovered in the midst of the bosom of Mother Night, but there was something wrong with the feeling that it was giving her. A cold and threatening chill crawled down her spine as she gazed at the small, white pendent in the sky. In a blur of motion, something landed on the window with a thud as it's dark body hit the glass. Fear rooted Kagome to her place as the thing stared at her with shining eyes. As the glass splintered around her as the demon crashed through, small arcs of blood rose into the air as Kagome was carried away screaming Inu-Yasha's name.
