Hey guys! It's me dark. Wow I've really been on a vacation. I took a break, a long one, because I wanted to work on my other stories on paper. Sorry I kept you waiting… So are you ready to find out who the mystery man is and what kagome's significance to the woman who died at her wedding well you'll have to read. Oh yeah and I'll be updating more frequently.

Disclaimer- I don't own inuyasha but there's good news I made bail and now I can go for rumiko again…maybe the face this time! Enjoy

Beneath my skin

Chapter 3: A trip, and a flight, down the stairs

"Kagome lets go!" yelled ms.higurashi from the front door.

"Coming mom," said kagome stuffing her last item in her already booming bag.

Kagome sat on the bed thinking again about how she could get through these 3 months without killing her self. Since she was 4 she had always spent the summer with sango, but this year her mom decided it be best to go to Tokyo.

"Lets get a move on kag!" yelled ms.higurashi become even more irritated.

Kagome grabbed her things and began hurrying down the stairs and she tripped over one of sota's skates, making her fall into the bookshelf.

A/N: she's okay.

She began to pick up the books and she noticed a small black book that looked like a journal. It had, what seemed to be, a faded crimson butterfly on the cover and a name of the spine.

"K.H?" said kagome reading the initials.

"KAGOME!" yelled her mom beeping the horn afterwards, which alarmed her.

Kagome got up, taking the journal with her, and ran out to the car.

The Airport-

"Don't forget to call" said ms.higurashi.

"Okay…" said kagome looking depressed

"And don't ask them a lot of questions" said ms. higurashi crying.

"Okay…" said kagome again.

"And try to smile" said her mother

"Flight 180 TOKYO Boarding" announced the intercom.

"Gotta go mom," said kagome running to the gate.

Kagome had gotten on the plane and her stomach clinched so she grabbed it.

"Are you okay?" asked the stewardess

Kagome responded with a simple nod and lifted her head. The stewardess then offered to get something for her.

"I said I'm fine!" said kagome with a red glow in her eyes.

"Uhhhh" the stewardess ran off into the back afraid to do anything else.

12 hours later Tokyo airport…

Kagome got off the plane and got her luggage. The only thing left was to look for a sign with her name on it and her cousin. She looked around and saw neither so she decided to sit for a while.

She then remembered she had the journal she had found earlier. She took out the book and opened it turning to the first entry. She read it:

It has been 2 weeks since I left that horrible place. I find myself very strong surviving in this desert. I managed to find a rest stop but I have no money. I also persuaded a man to rent me a motel room but he wasn't doing it for free…

A boy calling her name out loud interrupted Kagome. She looked up and saw a 16-year-old boy with long white hair and an idiot smile.

"Kagome over here" said the boy

Kagome closed the journal and walked over to him. She then put her luggage in his arms.

"Did you have nice flight? Asked the boy

"Yeah, so how have you been, Inuyasha?"

So hey you weren't expecting him…. were you?

Any way hoped you liked it next chap will be available probably in January. Until then kisses and don't be shy to review.

Ja-ne

Angelic out…
