Chapter 4-A Long Day

Kagome awoke as soon as the sun peeked over the trees. (A.N Sry I forgot to mention her room is on the second floor.) She sat up in her bed Indian-style, & closed her eyes to concentrate. She scanned all of the auras in the house. "Good they are still asleep," whispered Kagome. She got out of bed, & started to get dressed. She picked out black jogging pants, a red tank top that said 'Green Day" in black lettering with a grenade in the shape of a heart in a hand, she wore black & green converses.

She quietly jumped out of her window, & ran into the brush. She turned facing the house to see if she woke anyone up. To her satisfaction she didn't. She continued walking until she had stumbled apon the clearing that she had seen the other night. She sat down Indian-style on the grass to meditate. She closed her eyes & concentrated. She began to glow a blue color as she mumbled incantations under her breath. Then, a light appeared all around the clearing. When the light was gone Kagome was in her demon form.

Her eyes were still closed when she heard a rustle in the bushes. She slowly opened her eyes to se Kirarra sitting beside her. Kirarra looked up at her. "Lady Kagome your family is looking for you. They are deeply worried," stated Kirarra. Kagome hit her head over & over with her fists. "Stupid Kagome… Stupid," ranted Kagome. She stopped ranting, & got out a piece of paper & a pen from her pocket. She wrote a note explaining where she was, why she was there, & that she was okay.

"Kirarra, give this to my mother and report back to me," commanded Kagome. Kirarra nodded at Kagome & went off with the note. Kagome went back to meditating. It wasn't long before she sensed Kurama there. "Kurama you can come out. I know you're there," stated Kagome dryly. Kurama came out from behind a tree. "Your demon form is beautiful," said Kurama. "Thank you, Kurama," replied Kagome. Kurama nodded. "Why did you leave this morning?" asked Kurama. "I needed training," answered Kagome simply.

"Oh I see," stated Kurama. Kurama and Kagome continued to talk while the Sesshomaru listened quietly. 'Hmm. It looks like sister may have another admirer,' thought Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru watched as the scene unfolded its self. Kagome was talking about the feudal era as Kurama's hand slowly inched forward toward Kagome's hand. Kagome knew what would happen. The trick was pretty old. She smiled and thought, 'Why don't I have some fun while I'm at it.'

She was going to tease him. His hand moved a couple inches, and she moved her hands to add to her story. Kurama frowned every time she did this. He was always so close.

In Kurama's Head

Youko: She's a beautiful vixen, ne?

Kurama: Yeah

Youko: I think she's teasing us.

Kurama: It would seem so, but she looks so oblivious.

Youko: Well ask her if she's ever heard of Youko because she looks familiar.

Kurama: Okay.

Normal P.O.V

When Kagome finished her story he decided to tell his story. After he finished Kagome turned pale. "What's wrong Kagome?" asked Kurama concerned. "Y-you said that t-the spirit inside o-of you is Y-Youko, right?" asked Kagome. Kurama nodded. "Well when I was a child he used to come over to my house we were pretty good friends until he stopped showing up. I still think of him as my friend, but it kindda made me sad when he stopped coming," explained Kagome.

"Well you go back to the house while I meditate a little more, okay?" asked Kagome. Kurama nodded & walked out of the clearing. "Sesshomaru you really need to stop spying on me," said Kagome. Sesshomaru let out a chuckle. "Why did you tease the poor boy, Kagome?" asked Sesshomaru. "Because it's been a while since I had some fun," replied Kagome smirking. Sesshomaru let out yet another chuckle. They sat & meditated for an hour or so before going back to the house. "RACE YA!" yelled Kagome. They both took off. Kagome ended up winning.

Hiei was the first to greet them. Unfortunately it wasn't a happy hello. "Stupid onna! Why do you keep wondering off, wench!" hissed Hiei. It reminded her so much of Inuyasha, she just couldn't take it. So she ran off crying. She ran up stairs as fast as her leg could take her, and slammed her door shut.

Kurama glared at his friend. He knew Hiei was cold, but he didn't know that he would do such a thing. Hiei sighed and left.

With Kagome

Kagome turned up the radio so loud that they couldn't hear her scream, and locked the door. "Why did he have to go there?" screamed Kagome sobbing. "Inuyasha," whispered Kagome, "Why?" She turned the music off, and grabbed her guitar. She tuned it and strummed a few bars before singing.

Do you ever feel like breaking down?
Do you ever feel out of place?
Like somehow you just don't belong
And no one understands you
Do you ever wanna runaway?
Do you lock yourself in your room?
With the radio on turned up so loud
That no one hears you screaming

No you don't know what it's like
When nothing feels all right
You don't know what it's like
To be like me

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life

Do you wanna be somebody else?
Are you sick of feeling so left out?
Are you desperate to find something more?
Before your life is over
Are you stuck inside a world you hate?
Are you sick of everyone around?
With their big fake smiles and stupid lies
While deep inside you're bleeding

No you don't know what it's like
When nothing feels all right
You don't know what it's like
To be like me

No one ever lied straight to your face
No one ever stabbed you in the back
You might think I'm happy but I'm not gonna be okay
Everybody always gave you what you wanted
Never had to work it was always there
You don't know what it's like, what it's like

She sang it with her heart and soul. She didn't know what else to do. On the other side of her Kurama listened intently to her song. Did she really feel this way? Why did she feel such pain? If he ever found out who did this to her he would kill them personally. His inner youkia growled. He caught himself and stopped.

Kagome stopped, but this time she played greensleves again. He had always loved that song. His mom put it in her jewelry box & as a child he always listened to it. He sat down in front of the door and listened. He soon drifted to sleep.

With Kagome

As Kagome finished she started to feel better. Kagome sighed; it was still early in the morning. She put her guitar up, grabbed her mp3 player, and walked out the door. She saw Kurama asleep in the hallway. She smiled and bent down so that he could hear her. "Wake up sleeping beauty," whispered Kagome. Kurama's eyes fluttered open. He looked up at Kagome, and saw her smiling. He smiled back, and got up. He brushed himself off. "Well let's go find these artifacts," suggested Kagome. Kurama nodded and led the way. As they were walking Kagome had a question. "Kurama, how many artifacts are there?" asked Kagome putting her mp3 player in her pocket.

Kurama thought for a while, but answered quickly. "Four," stated Kurama, "A bow, an arrow, a jewelry box, and a bracelet." Kagome nodded in understanding. They got outside to see everyone awake, and ready to go. Hiei started to walk up to Kagome, but she put on her headphones, and turned it up loud. He was mad but he didn't say anything. He admitted that he deserved it.

Kagome was listening to "Dear Angel" by April Sixth as they walked. She loved emo if you couldn't tell already. She walked ahead of everyone else as she sensed something. They ended up in a little town. Demons were everywhere.

They walked into the street. Kagome heard various catcalls and wolf howls walking down the street. She ignored it. However it was getting on Hiei, Kurama, and Sesshomaru's nerves. They needed to learn respect. They were walking down the sidewalk when someone tapped on Kagome's shoulder. She whirled around to see Kouga with his cocky grin. She pulled off her headphones, and gave him a bear hug which he gladly returned. "Kouga, I missed you so much. How are you and Ayame doing?" asked Kagome. Kouga's grin got wider when his wife was mentioned. "She's fine. We have two kids, but they are at home with her," replied Kouga. Kagome nodded smiling. Kouga gave her a quick hug, said bye, and dashed home.

Kagome looked as if her spirits were lifted. She was now going into an antique shop. She looked around and saw a book that called her attention. 'Hmm interesting, this must be the artifact,' though Kagome. On the cover it read, 'Kagome's Diary'. "WHAT IS MY DIARY DOING IN HEAR?" screamed Kagome. It was a good thing that they didn't hear her because then they would have taken it. A woman came from behind the counter. "Oh lady Kagome… Um I didn't expect to ever see you here. You were rumored dead," explained the woman.

Kagome rolled her eyes as the woman handed her the book. Kagome cradled it into her chest and flew off in the direction of the house passing Hiei and the others as she ran. Hiei ran in pursuit of the miko. Kagome was currently running, and reading her diary as she did so. She read closer to the last page and noticed that it had the feudal era in it. She flipped to the last day and found that it had the events of the previous days and what she had thought. Kagome's eyes widened. "I have to get this back before-," and before Kagome could finish there stood Hiei in front of her smirking. "Get what where before what, Kagome?" asked Hiei inching towards her slowly, and still smirking.

Kagome backed away slowly. "Um… Why nothing Hiei. I have nothing to hide," stuttered Kagome. Hiei's smirk grew wider as he dashed for her. Kagome easily dodged. Kagome dashed quickly for the house. She had made it into the house when Hiei tackled her. She said a quick incantation and the book was teleported into her room in a safe place. Kagome let out a sigh of relief.

"Where is it?" demanded Hiei. Kagome smiled innocently. "Where's what, Hiei?" asked Kagome sweetly. Hiei frowned. "The book that you had. Where is it?" asked Hiei yet again as he got off of Kagome. Kagome shrugged while she got up. "I dunno what you are talking about," said Kagome innocently as she ran up to her room. Hiei was right on her heals, but when she got there she slammed the door right on his nose. He flew back into the wall. Kagome said a quick spell and a barrier formed around her room.

"Yes," whispered Kagome. She then hid the diary into the drawer. Kagome could feel him beating against the barrier. "Persistent little one now isn't he?" Kagome asked herself quietly. She got to her balcony, grabbed her bow and arrow, and jumped. She ran toward the clearing. Kagome could sense Hiei coming, and he was coming fast.

Kagome let a smirk play across her lips. Another demon was coming at her left. It was the one that kidnapped her, and changed her. So she put on her emotionless mask and turned around to face the demon. She readied her bow and arrow. As the demon came into the clearing her saw Kagome. He was wearing the same outfit as before, "Ah, what a lovely day. Wouldn't you think so Lady Kagome," sigh the demon. "OK enough chitchat, what do you want with me and who are you?" commanded Kagome. The demon smirked as Kagome pulled the arrow back further. "MY, my, my Lady Kagome, I'm just here on Master Izioku's behalf," said the demon calmly. Kagome continue to watch him as he moved closer.

"What does he want from me?" asked Kagome. "He wished to see you," said the demon charging at Kagome. Kagome easily dodged. She laid down her bow and arrow, and formed a sword with her powers. As the demon charged a second time Kagome put her miko energy into the sword. She took a swing at him but missed, and was knocked back by the force of the other demon's punch to the stomach. Kagome went flying into a tree. The demon smirked. "Why don't you just come quietly and it'll make it easier on the both of us?" asked the demon in an annoyed tone as Kagome got into her fighting stance once again.

Kagome rolled her eyes. She stood there waiting on the demon to attack. As soon as he did she tried to form a purifying energy, but before she could he had hit her in the stomach. She was soon surrounded by darkness. As she fell the demon caught her, and took her with him.
