Hi guys! Sorry I took long with the chapter! I had writer's block. Now I am kinda sure of what to do…I visited an old place that was like my second house and I got ideas. Although it was a horrible experience because someone had broke into the house and trashed it totally and the place now resembles a swamp I got some ideas for Kagome! Anyway enough about me you'll probably hear more in the chapter. Thank you soooo much for the reviews! They made me feel so great! And I won't put myself down anymore but I still think I am bad at writing romance…Anyway here is the next chapter!

The final bell rang and the students race to get out of the hell hole that most people called school. Kagome was waiting at Inuyasha's locker since her last class was a study period and she got off early. Inuyasha always waited for Kagome so she thought it would be a turn around today, plus she had some plans in mind…

Inuyasha was seen walking towards his locker in a hurry, probably to get to Kagome's locker in time. However when he saw Kagome standing in front of it he slowed down and relaxed his face. "Hi" she said,
"Hi, how was your day?"

"Oh, getting into fights and doing drugs, you know the usual." Kagome joked.
"I had the most boring of classes just now, I am in for some fun now,"

"Well, I have got the best thing for you, since you taught me how to skateboard I thought I would teach you how to skate. I know you have know idea how to."

Inuyasha cringed at the thought of skating. He hated it, once he tried with Sesshomaru and he ha a massive wipe out. He vowed never to skate again, but now Kagome was going to make him break that vow. If it made her happy then why not? "Sure, I'd love to." He forced out.

"Great!" Kagome exclaimed and grabbed his hand. They were off before Inuyasha could actually get into his locker.

The skating rink that they were planning on going to was near Kagome's old house. When she lived there with her family she would go skating almost every day. Her skates were old but they worked. Inuyasha borrowed his brother's skates. When they got to the rink they put on their gear and took off the guards, in no time they were on the ice. Kagome twirled around gracefully while Inuyasha stood awkwardly not really knowing what to do. She came up to him, having now warmed up from the years of not skating. She took his hands in hers and instructed, "Just move from side to side and let your feet glide with the ice. That's it"

Inuyasha was slowly making progress but ever so slowly. He rocked from left to right and moved his feet. It looked like he was trying to walk with skis on. Kagome saw this and corrected it, "No, now lift up each foot that you don't lean on when you rock. Now rock, rock!"

"I'm rocking!" Inuyasha snapped, this was harder than it looked. He lifted up each foot that her wasn't using when her rocked, and slowly he glided forward. He pushed off with one foot and gilded on the other, he switched feet and did it again, this was all about balance.

"You got it! Man, you're a fast learner…all you need is practice!" Kagome was ecstatic. She had actually managed to teach someone something. She was helping someone and it felt great.

Inuyasha stopped his movements, but he didn't stop gliding. "Uhh, Kagome…" he was gliding further and further away, "How do I stop?" He shouted.

Kagome turned her attention away from her thoughts and caught sight of Inuyasha, he was flaying and swinging his arms to try and come to a stop, she didn't get too worried; after all he was going the speed of a rolling Pringles can. She swept in front of him and put her hands on his shoulder to make him come to a complete halt. "Ok, since you've got the basics we are going to have some fun." Kagome had a glint in her eye.

"Umm, what kind of fun?"

(Now I know this will be a little bit hard to believe but, Inuyasha is a fast learner and he has some experience. Bear with me here!)

"READY?" Kagome yelled from across the rink.

Inuyasha was a still trying to remember what Kagome had told him about what they were going to do. "GO!" She screeched.

They both started skating as fast as they could towards each other. They were coming extremely close to one another fast. If they didn't do something there was going to be a collision. At the last moment they swerved to the side and clasped hands, immediately they started spinning out of control. They only thing Kagome could see in the revolving plane was Inuyasha, and he could see only her. For those precious moments they were in a private world where only they existed. Suddenly Inuyasha tripped on a stubborn rock in the ice and they both tumbled. Kagome landed on top of Inuyasha and they both stared at each other. Only laughter could be heard from the two.

After about an hour of skating Inuyasha had the skill down, all he needed to do was learn how to stop. "Well, do you want to go home now?" Inuyasha asked Kagome.

"Sure, its getting kind of cold anyway."

They took off their skates at the bench and started walking. Inuyasha had the feeling that he was still on the ice. It was strange. "You know I haven't been on this street in two years." Kagome inquired.

"Really?" Inuyasha didn't take any thought into that remark, this was an old street. It was the first time h had been here. All the houses were on mini hills. Although it they were large houses they didn't look very high class, in fact, they looked very poor. Inuyasha stopped at one particularly freakish house. It had broken windows and graffiti on the side. He walked up the sidewalk towards the house, it was enchanting. "Uhh, Inuyasha let's not go there, please?"

He didn't hear her. He walked up the porch and saw that the door was open. Kagome stopped at the house's wake. It was so old now, it was once beautiful and now a spell of darkness was cast upon it. She looked up and saw that Inuyasha was already inside. She also went inside, reluctantly. There was broken glass everywhere. How could someone do this to her home? It was completely empty. Blood still stained the floor… She walked from the kitchen past the door to the downstairs and went into the living room. All that was in there was a broken rocking chair, sitting all alone. She went upstairs and found Inuyasha in her old room. She walked in and looked around. She had spent a lot of time in this room, of course it was full of her belongings but it hardly resembled her beloved retreat now. "This is eerie." Inuyasha said.

"People died here, no one wanted to live in this house ever since." Kagome said, feeling hollow.

Inuyasha didn't know this was her house. She walked out and went into her parent's room. The windows in here were also broken. She went into the attached bathroom and saw that the toilet was in need of a cleaning even though the water had been shut off. Looking around she saw something move out the door in the corner of her eye. Her gaze snapped to the empty walk-in closet. "Inuyasha!" She yelled.

"Yah?" He poked his head out of her room.

"Did you see something? Just now?"

"No, why?"

"Nothing…never mind." She walked past her room to look out the window at the end of the hall. Just before Inuyasha could go back to his snooping they heard a door slam. They both went to the top of the stairs. Something other than them was in the house. They were about to go out the door from the kitchen when Inuyasha stopped. He looked at the blood stains, if it weren't for the white spot of tile in the corner it would be convincing to say that the floor was originally red. "How many people died here?" He asked, completely oblivious to Kagome.

"Three, two adults and a…child" She choked out the last part.

Inuyasha turned around to see Kagome in a complete daze, and then it clicked. This was her house. His gaze snapped from her to the room across the kitchen. An animal was in there. He walked into the room followed by Kagome, this was Souta's room. Under some ratty rags something was making a sound. Kagome timidly lifted up the rag and saw the smallest little black ball of fur. It looked up at her and mewed. It looked very thin and starved. "Well, it's a kitten." Inuyasha stated the obvious.
"It looks like it's mother abandoned it. We can't leave it here…" Kagome said,
"Are you allowed to have cats in your apartment?"

"Yes, I will take it home!" She picked up the kitten, it was all black except a small white patch around it's pink nose. Once again they were on their way out the door. Another slam and a gurgling sound came from the basement. (There was actually a gurgling sound coming from the basement) Inuyasha opened the door, revealing the stairs to a dark nothingness. "Don't go down there, Inuyasha" Kagome warned. The basement had always freaked her out.

"What? There's nothing to fear." He started down the steps and Kagome got an extremely bad feeling.

"Please! Don't go!" She grabbed his shirt with tears on the brims of her eyes. She didn't know why she was getting so worked up but she felt something very bad would happen.

Inuyasha turned around and saw her distress.

"Oh alright" He sighed and went back up the few steps. He cupped her cheek gently with his hand and pecked her on the lips. Kagome was stunned. He went out the door to see the sun had already set. Kagome stood and she raised her hand to gently touch her lips. It was the first time Inuyasha had kissed her since the river side.

Kagome got home and went to her aunt Kaede. "Look what I found? Can we keep him?"

Kaede took the kitten and seemed to be thinking with a stern face, then finally she said, "We will have to get him some food the poor thing is starved."

Kagome sighed and felt totally relaxed as she felt the fur next to her cheek. Then the images of her literally broken home came into her mind. She felt so afraid there. Especially since someone else was in there with them. She opened her eyes suddenly to be reminded that she was safe at her home besides the kitten could protect her now. What was in that basement? Whatever it was she had a feeling it would be bad.

Ok, wow that was the longest chapter I have written! Sorry if there is any mistakes in it! The story is going to end soon because I feel that there is no reason to go on in the story. We didn't go down to the basement so I have no idea what is down there but my god it was freaky enough just hearing the noises. Please review! I am open to any suggestions as to what to do next or what you guys think is in the basement!
