Here it is sorry for the wait… please I don't own inuyasha….please don't laugh if I have in errors.
Chapter 3 is it now?...
Blood…
Death…
Kurt…Just number one on the list.
In her dreams she was haunted by this memory.
A memory of a soul lost forever…
Scientists say you dream five times a night. But you only remember one.
And at this moment Kagome was woken abruptly from one she couldn't escape herself.
"Kagome dear...you have to wake up, it's 10:35. You'll miss your graduation ceremony if you sleep all day…" At this point her mother just went off on a tangent.
Like lightening being sucked from the earth she was up and about now.
Because of all the special circumstances that came up over these three days. She had forgotten all about her own graduation.
If her brother was still in the hospital she wouldn't have gone anyways.
Her mother smiled cheerfully, excusing herself from the room.
Boy would it be a hectic day.
And she had no idea how much more disturbing it would become…
"What a weird place to have a ceremony at?" Kagome said ruefully.
Currently her high school, Homestead High's graduating class of 2005 was ushered to the football field.
Her figure was adorned with a green cap and gown. Just like all the other students.
The shin-dig was yet to start so she was scoping through the crowd looking for her friends. When a hand covered her right shoulder and turned her around.
A bushel of roses was pushed in her face and it took her a few seconds to compose her person.
She lowered the flowers and took a look at her attacker.
'Phewoo' she thought, 'Just Hojo.'
Kagome had allowed this guy to accompany her to prom. What a mistake that was. He wasn't a bad person. He was just not the right man for her.
She took the flowers curtly and thanked him kindly.
"I…I w-was wondering if you weren't doing anything after this. Maybe me and you could go out for ice cream?"
Before she could answer, Principle Dazs said, "Ladies, Gentlemen, and Class of 2005. It's time to begin!"
And the green blob of student's was shown to their seats.
It was finally time…
And the students were called up alphabetically…
……
Yumi Faraway…
……
Tom Grant…
……
William Haagen…
……
Kagome Higurashi…
Her breath caught in her throat quite suddenly.
With shaky knees and sweaty palms she made her way to the stage.
'Why is this so hard? I've come face to well…hood with the Grim Reaper!' she thought while ascending the stairs.
An annoyed expression crossed her face, "It would be the most perfect time for him to ruin everything." She mumbled to no one in particular.
Kagome plastered on a happy to be here smile as she shook the important people's hands.
As she was about to grab her diploma, her hair stood at attention and Goosebumps covered her skin.
And it got suddenly cold.
Her hand froze two inches from her High School freedom and her Principle smiled reassuringly.
She just stood there knowing who was behind her.
Some immature kids were laughing at her and some people were wondering why.
Reality came crashing down upon her. The paper now in her hand reminded her of her past life and how nothing would ever be the same.
But deciding to try and hold on to it, she kept walking. Made her way down the stairs and completely ignored him.
If he could have shown an emotion his eyebrows would have scrunched and he would have turned his head in a quizzical look just like a dog.
That still couldn't have stopped him from following her.
And as not to risk any death's with a single touch, he rose into the air and followed her.
Kagome couldn't believe it.
He had surprised her so much that she didn't even see her tassel be flipped to the opposite side.
And she barely participated in the throwing off of the caps as the last names were called. As a matter of fact somebody else took her hat off and threw it in the air.
How was she going to leave in the middle of everything?
"Oh yeah mom I'm just gonna go see if I can save someone one from death with the Grim Reaper." She spoke up sarcastically.
But somebody heard her.
"Kagome…who's the Grim Reaper?"
Oh crap she didn't even see Souta come running up to her.
So she decided to play dumb and answer his question with a question. "Who is the Grim Reaper Souta?"
"I don't know. You said you had to leave with him."
He was staring her down now. Like he was searching her brain for something hidden Like her secret about knowing the Reaper.
It was time to put her acting skills to good use. If she had any of them.
"I was just uhh…recalling a weird dream I had last night."
(Yeah that's it he'll believe a dream…Wont he?)
Souta was still searching her mind but decided to drop it for whatever reason and said, "Come on. Mom wants to take more pictures."
He grabbed her hand but suddenly released it.
"Geese Kag, why is your hand so cold?"
A look of confused shock came over her face. And for a few seconds Souta pondered over the situation.
(What's up with Kagome? It's hot out here under the sun and her hand felt like a block of ice! Something's going on and I'm going to figure it out.)
She got over the shock quickly came up with another lie. "I-I was just holding a soda can for my friend…He he he."
And just a little too suspicious, he dropped the subject and led her to their mother.
"Kagome dear what's with the forlorn expression on your face?" After finding dearest mother, all three were just mingling through the crowd talking to people neither of them would ever see again. And Kagome was stuck between life and death…literally.
Should she skip out and try to save another lost soul? Or should she stay, end up going out with Hojo and have a purposely lost death on her shoulders.
She had only been with her mom a minute or so, but did that mean she had enough time?
Certainly because Inuyasha was still hovering above her.
(How annoying…man I have to come up with an excuse to get going on this uhh mission.)She though for a few seconds then came up with a great idea.
"No ma-ma I'm not feeling very well. I think it's the sun. I'm going for a walk ok?"
Mrs. Higurashi scrutinized her daughters proposition but then smiled warmly and said, "Ok Kagome but why don't I just take you home?"
By this time Kagome was already ten feet away.
"No that's alright I wont go very far!" she shouted trying to end the conversation.
But she suddenly remembered and turned around and said, "Could you please tell Hojo for me? Thanks! Bye!"
She looked after her daughter in confusion and waved goodbye anyways. She's a grown girl after all now. Soon she would be living by herself…away from home…"Away from me!" she suddenly screamed drawing a lot of attention.
Souta just shook his head in embarrassment.
Away from the field and a few blocks down the street to where she ran, she called for Inuyasha.
When he came down she asked, "So tell me who it is." And so he began.
"His name is Johnathan Alexander Peak. He is 36 years old and is going to be murdered today at 3:24 p.m by his girlfriend of seven years this winter. She will do this on account of he has been cheating on her for four years. She will kill him with a hammer."
She stopped him there. "So does this mean that all murders are the cause of the so called Angel?"
He kept his eyes fixated on hers and replied, "You already know the answer to that."
Blowing air up making her bangs flutter slightly, a clear sign that said she was so not in the mood for this, she looked at her watch and realized something and her hands flew to her face in shock.
"I'm still wearing my green gown. Oh my god I must look like a complete weirdo!"
Quickly she ran behind some parked car and ripped the horrible green sheet away from her body.
But she couldn't leave it there because well she had to return it.
So with a bright red face she asked Inuyasha where Johnathan lived. And since for some reason he inadvertently come three hours before this murder was supposed to take place she had plenty of time to run home and change out of her nice clothes and into something warmer. Considering she would be with him all day…again.
Kagome now adorned almost exactly what she was wearing last time except the two under shirts were different and she just threw on any old pair of pants. But she still wore the black sweater.
Now there was only two hours and twenty minutes until she changed fate. So she actually did what she said she was.
She took a walk.
And since Inuyasha told her where he will be murdered she decided to go on foot and blatantly refused his use of transportation.
Besides by the time she got there it would be time and she would be ready.
Or so she thought.
Currently she stood at the front of Apple Tree Apartment building and visibly shook.
She really wasn't ready.
Turning around she was stopped by the cloak of well, really the cloak of her boss.
Gazing upwards she smiled nervously and knew there was no way out of this. So she mustered up some courage from only the lord knows where and walked slowly to apartment C15 with Inuyasha following behind.
Actually it was 2:48 so she had to hurry.
Running up the stairs to the third floor and jogging through the turns of the building she came upon something she wasn't expecting.
"Oh. Hey Kagome what are you doing here?"
She came to a frozen position and stared at the person in front of her.
"Ho- Hojo I uhh, well I was c-coming to apologize for leaving so abruptly." She quickly lied to cover up the truth.
A couple more minutes wouldn't hurt would they?
"Yeah I was wondering what happened but then your mom said you were sick so I was going to drop by later and give you this."
He picked up a bag that she suddenly noticed near his feet and handed it to her.
She opened the bag and almost died herself right there.
"Yeah your mother told me you prone to constipation so I thought these would help you."
(X-lax…he…bought…me…x-lax! How much more horrible could this day be!) She screamed this in her mind while he kept blabbing on and on about something but she wasn't paying attention any more.
A woman appeared down the hall presumably from another entrance.
Kagome snapped her head to the nearest door and read the number.
C9…That must mean…
The door the woman was standing in front of was C15.
Her heart raced faster. She had to get away from Hojo or else she would have another death on hands.
It got suddenly colder; Inuyasha knew time was running out.
Forgetting about Hojo she walked right passed him and proceeded to walk down the hall.
Down went the bag she was holding and away went the fear. For some reason it was different this time, and boldly as she came next the women she reached for the door of C15 just as the predicted murderer was about to do the same.
"I wont let you go in there." She spoke up with her eyes closed in determination.
The woman later to be known as Christy said, "Who the hell are you?"
Kagome now in front of her opened her eyes and stared, "I wont let you kill him. No matter what he has done to you. No one deserves to be killed."
Christy took a step backwards, basically in shock that this stranger knew what she was doing.
But then anger took over shock and she spit out, "So…you're the fucking bitch that has been sleeping with him for all these years."
Apparently Christy knew Johnathan was cheating but didn't know who the girl was.
"N-no you have it wrong I don't even know who him is."
Technically she really doesn't know him she just knew of him as of that day.
But with all Christy's pent up adrenaline there would be no telling what would happen next. What happened though was that she slipped to the floor crying.
Kagome looked at her watch and it read 4:28.
She had saved one person.
Looking down the hallway she saw Hojo's confused face. At least it wasn't a freaked out face, which would have meant he heard every word.
She just smiled and nodded to him.
He had many unanswered questions, but right now Kagome had a job to do.
