You Don't Know Me
Chapter 2: Saran Wrap Girl
Disclaimer: I so own Inuyasha. :shifty eyes: Oh yea…totally… :spies lawyers: FINE! I own nothing:grumbles: And special thanks to Lil'Inu-Yasha who is the talented author who wrote 'Saran Wrap Girl'. So the poem belongs to her, not me! Thank-you so much for letting me use it! This chappie is for you! Now on with the story!
"Inuyasha! INUYASHA!" The two people jogged up the street. The woman's brown hair flowed behind her, tight braids keeping the dark locks away from her face. "Where the hell could that idiot have gotten to?" And she was pissed. They should be taking care of moving in to their new place, not looking for the second in command of their gang.
"Now Sango dearest," The young vampire put a hand on her shoulder. "You must be patient. We'll find Inuyasha soon enough." The girl glared at him and shrugged the hand away only to have it come back, and way to low for comfort.
"MIROKU YOU PERVERT!" The slap seemed to echo throughout the empty street. "Can you ever keep your hands to yourself!"
"But Sango!" He whined. "Your back was turned! It seemed as if you wanted me to!" He immediately shut up as he caught the death glare his companion shot at him, before she continued jogging. Miroku rubbed the bright red handprint on his cheek with a sigh, sprinting to catch up.
They wandered around town for what felt like hours. The sun had risen to its highest point in the sky and it beat down on the two people who were still searching for their second in command. "Where the FUCK could he be!" Sango kicked a tree in frustration. "His brother's gonna have our heads if we don't find him soon!"
Miroku couldn't help but shiver at the thought of their leader's wrath. The demon seemed to be emotionless and not care about anything, but get on his bad side… Chills ran up the ex-monk's spine as he remembered on such incident he had. 'I have to remember to NEVER grope Sessh's adopted daughter, no matter how hot she is…'SMACK! "Hey what was that for Sango?"
"Don't play innocent!" She grumbled about stupid perverts as she adjusted the giant boomerang on her back.
'Oh, so that's what was so soft!' The vamp grinned pervertedly.
"Miroku could we please focus here? We gotta find Inuyasha!" Sango planted her fists on her hips. "Just, could you not be yourself for a few hours?"
"But Sango dearest! In result of not being myself I wouldn't be following my religion! And that is something I cannot do! Even for you my love…" His large hands plucked her small ones off her waist. "But don't worry! I swear I will love you forever, until the wheel of time stops turning. Even after I draw my last breath of life, my love for you will leak on into eternity…" His voice grew quiet. The vampire slowly leaned closer to the human slayer. He wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her close.
A small blush crept onto Sango cheeks. She was caught up in the moment. Her body felt warm. The slayer leaned in slightly and… THUD! "YOU PERVERT! I SWEAR IF YOU TOUCH MY ASS ONE MORE TIME TODAY I'LL-!"
"Would you two shut up? Some of us are trying to sleep here!" The voice sounded from up in the tree.
"Inuyasha?" The two on the ground looked up into the branches of the giant tree. Sure enough they could just make out the outline of their friend. "Inuyasha get your ass down here now!" The woman slammed her foot on the ground to emphasize her point, looking kinda like a two year old. "Do you know how long we've been looking for your sorry butt? Your brother is so pissed I'm surprised he hasn't come to get you himself!"
Inuyasha winced at the thought of Sesshomaru finding him. His elder brother had a temper to rival his own. The only difference being that Sesshomaru never really showed it unless you really pissed him off, and even then he still looked like the "Ice Man". Inuyasha quickly leaped down from the branch he had been napping on. "Ok, ok! God what's up your ass today Sango?"
She sent death glares in his direction. "It's not "what's up it". It's who keeps touching it!" Sango glance at the other man behind her, who just gave a smile and some nervous laughter. "Anyway Sessh got us a new place. And he wanted you there hours ago."
"Shit! Where is it?"
"Sunset Apartments. It's down-" Before she even finished, the hanyou was off.
"Well at least he's the one who will suffer the "Stump's" wrath and not us…"
"Miroku you really shouldn't call Sesshomaru the "Stump", no matter how much the name is justified. You remember last time he heard you call him that…"
"Yea…." Miroku rubbed his arms. "I still have bruises…" He paused for a moment before saying, "We should probably start heading back too."
"Good idea…don't need to give our fearless leader anymore reasons to be pissed off. When he gets mad you what that means…"
"Longer training session." They both gave out long sighs. "Oh well. At least we'll get to train with our new allies. That Kagome chick was pretty damn hot… OW! What? I was just stating a fact! But rest assured, her beauty does not even come close to yours…"
With a glare Sango jerked her hand away from her companion. "You're such a lecherous monk!"
"Ah! But not just monk! I am also a vampire! There for I don't need to take the vow of chastity! And also free to have the woman in my dreams…"
With one last slap Sango started to walk down the street, a very banged up Miroku behind her. 'One day you'll discover that you love me, fare Sango…'
Kagome watched the street long after the man was out of sight, normal frown firmly set in place. Her window was open and a cool wind blew into the apartment making her dark hair dance about. 'Maybe Koga will get the message this time…' She had refused to think about the silver haired man. After all, he wasn't any different than the others right? "I probably won't ever see him again… Not that that bothers me or anything." She sighed at her own stupidity, shaking her head. "You think I would have learned my lesson by now. It just proves that mortals are a weird species…"
She walked over to her bed and sat down heavily. The brown end table's door was slowly opened. Kagome took out a small cherry wood chest and blew the thin layer of dust off of it. The hinges creaked as the girl carefully lifted the lid away. Deep brown eyes studied the contents, a few pictures, folded pieces of paper, a black book, a necklace with deep violet beads and ivory fans after every five beads. She gently took the necklace out, weaving it around her slender fingers. 'He used to wear this all the time…' After replacing the string of beads she took out one of the many folded papers. Kagome unfolded the slightly worn paper. 'Oh…I remember when I wrote this. I was what 13, 14?' She quickly scanned the words.
She wears light shoes, to hide her step.
She hardly makes a noise.
She's quiet with girls, and nice to children,
And shy with all the boys.
Her lips are pursed.
Her eyes are wide.
Thus she's labeled by her fright.
She wears big clothes,
And glasses with clip on shades,
So she can hide in plain sight.
Saran Wrap Girl
She has no life, she has no pride.
She's like a broken toy,
Always getting tossed aside.
In a black book, by her desk,
She keeps her favorite dreams in a list.
Forgotten almost all of them,
And given up on all the rest.
And just like Saran Wrap-
She is unnoticed.
Saran Wrap Girl
She keeps her head down,
With her arms crossed o'er her chest.
Never smiles, never frowns,
Says 'excuse me' at the best.
She's always wandering-
Wandering,
Wandering.
Wandering but not lost.
She keeps her hope locked in a jar.
In her heart, she knows what she wants.
But in that black book by her desk,
All her dreams are gathering dust.
Saran Wrap Girl
She has no life, she has no pride.
Like a doormat,
She's only carpet for others stride.
In a black book, by her desk,
She keeps her favorite dreams in a list.
Forgotten almost all of them,
And given up on all the rest.
And just like Saran Wrap-
She is unnoticed.
Saran Wrap Girl
She sits alone,
Doesn't talk on the phone,
She never makes a sound.
She just searches, searches, searches,
Always seeming to be lost.
But is only trying to be found.
Saran Wrap Girl?
Saran Wrap Girl?
What are you looking for?
Saran Wrap Girl?
Saran Wrap Girl?
Don't you wish for more?
Parts of her get torn and lost,
Until away they all get tossed.
A child that can never boast,
The fading shadow of a ghost.
Saran Wrap.
Thin like saran wrap,
Pale clear skin like saran wrap.
So easily blown away.
Quiet like saran wrap,
Oh so silent like saran wrap.
And just as easily thrown away.
She crumpled the poem and threw it back in the chest. She shut her eyes, refusing to let the tears seep into them. 'Screw them…I shouldn't spare them any thoughts!' Kagome opened her eyes again and turned her gaze to the little black book. It was slightly worn around the edges and the cover was torn slightly. She opened it to a random page. This particular one had a colored sketch of a man around the age of 17. He had shaggy black hair. His eyes were a deep brown-blue, framed by long lashes. They seemed to have a slight sadness to them. The man had full lips set in a grim expression. Kagome ran her finger along the side of his pale paper cheek. "Toya…" 'I drew this right before he was killed…' Images of blood flew across her mind's eye; scream of pain rang out in her head. 'RUN!'
She fell on her back, hands clamped over her ears, eyes squeezed tight. The chest clang to the floor, contents flying out of it. More pictures flashed behind her closed eyes. (A/N: This is a group of random flashbacks.)
Flashback
"Kagome?"
"What?" The 4 year-olds voice was quiet, most of her attention on the pink flower in her hand.
"Don't tell anyone. Not even Sota. And NOT mom and dad ok? Promise me?"
"Sure…"
"Daddy! Daddy STOP IT!"
"Shut up you little bitch! I'll do as I please!" The 6-year-old Kagome was thrown against the wall. And what she heard just before she blacked out was her mother letting out a blood-curdling scream.
Someone was shaking her… One sleepy eye opened than the other. "What's wrong bro?"
"Nothing's wrong. You me and Sota are just gonna go on a trip!" The 7-year-old could make out her brother's smile even in the dark.
"YA-" A hand clamped over her mouth.
"We have to be quiet Kags. Don't wanna wake up mommy and daddy now do we?" Kagome shook her head vigorously.
"LET ME GO!" She kicked and screamed but to no avail. "Help! Someone help me!"
"Quiet!" The dark figure slapped her across the face. "I swear to God if you make one more sound I'll-"
"You'll what?"
"SOTA! Thank God!"
Kagome smiled as she glanced up and saw her brothers still training. She eyes quickly went back to the black book sitting on her lap. The pencil whizzed across the paper, telling about what her future would be like. Next to her writing was a small picture of her older brother teaching her younger one how to hold his sword right. It was a rough sketch, but good nonetheless.
She looked back up, but no one was there. "Huh?" She put the book down and got up, walking a few steps towards where they used to be. Suddenly a river fell over her head, followed by laughter. "JERKS! You're SO gonna get it!"
End Flashback
The picture of her chasing her brothers blurred then faded away. Kagome kept her eyes shut for a few moments before opening then removing her hands from her eyes. Sitting up she looked around for the chest. She found it a few inches from her foot. The girl bent over and picked it up, putting all the things back inside. She quickly shut the lid and practically threw it into the end table. "Why?" She whispered. "Why do you keep haunting me?"
Lost, but only wanting to be found
Torn, just as easily thrown away
The fading shadow of a ghost
Only carpet for others to stride
'That's me…' She sighed. And fell onto the bed her pale face buried into the pillow. Kagome kept her mind blank, finding the void within herself. She let her body relax and drifted off into a dreamless sleep…
Author's Note: YAY! Another chapter done! Next I'll be updating my other story. Oh and I got this flame and to that person, if you're still even reading. I KNOW IT IS! BUT IT'S ONLY THAT LITTLE PART! The rest of the story is really nothing like the book. Oh and by the way, no you didn't offend me so don't worry about it.
Now that I got that out of my system, hope you guys like this chappie. You got a little peak into Kagome's mind. Later on we'll learn more about Miroku, Sango, Inuyasha, Sota, and other people you haven't met yet. But don't hold your breath. It's gonna take a while. I'm planning on making this a long story! So I'll update this one in a little while! REVIEW! But no flames, but way to improve are ALWAYS welcomed!
