R.E.M.
((I do not own any of the characters in this story))
Breakfast went by quite shortly, she had an omelet accompanied by some toast and a glass of milk. Boyu had constantly been nuzzling up against her leg demanding her undivided attention during breakfast and Souta had entertained himself by slipping small pieces of food under the table that Boyu when not tormenting Kagome, would greedily snatch.
Right now Kagome needed to get away from the shrine, she wasn't in any mood to see 'him' today. She packed up her bag and scuttled downstairs yelling fair-wells to her family. She was going out for the day to a national park about 2 hours outside the city to get her mind off of the events in her dreams and other reasons…..
"MOM! Tell Inuyasha that I'm going to be gone for the day and not to follow me, I'm going out with my friends to the park" that was a lie.
"Ok hunny, be careful when you go out" Miss Higurashi smiled before setting down the dish she was drying and walked over to see Kagome off.
Kagome was planning to take a small trip to the park, she wanted to clear her mind and also to avoid Inuyasha, she wasn't ready to go back the feudal era anyways, too many exhausting nights with-held the righteous amount of energy she was so commonly accustomed with.
Kagome had arrived at the park after about a 1 and a half hour bus ride and 20 minutes of walking, she slowly treaded over to one of the wooden benches resting alongside the small twining paths in the park and sat down. The sun was hot and beat down fiercely, she whipped her forehead and sighed gently as a cool wind passed by. The day was fair, very hot but the wind was cool as it snaked in and out of the tree branches and through her sleeves, flailing them in the air as a soothing hissing sound emitted. She looked up to the treetops and began to recall last night's events in her dreams. 'How on earth have my dreams become so mutated, they almost seemed real as if they were actually happening, the pain felt real, everything!' Kagome reached up to gently graze the surface of her now tingling shoulder, it felt normal yet it was as if she could feel the cut, it was a bizarre feeling……….There was no scar, but the slightest, even the tiniest amount of pressure sent her shoulder into a phase of discomfort.
Inuyasha popped his head out of the well and then climbed out, wearing his usual grumpy angered look he headed over to the Goshinboku. He made quick work of climbing it and perched himself on an outstretched branch to try and see inside and try spotting Kagome.
No Kagome here.
He jumped down the tree and stretched his arms and slowly began to walk over to the house. Buyo made an attempt to scamper over his feet for attention. This made him snicker a bit and he picked up the cat and held it out in front of him "Keh, stupid fat cat, your always looking for an excuse to get somebody to spoil you" he jabbed his finger lightly into the cats squishy tummy and then set it down. Buyo let out a rough yawn and rolled over.
Inuyasha walked over to the front door of Kagome's house and walked inside and began to sniff around for her, He bent down and started in the first hallway looking around and every now and then sniffing the floor. Miss Higarashi noticed him and smiled as she walked over to him.
"Oh hello there Inuyasha, Kagome's not home right now, she said she went out with her friends" Inuyasha's left ear twitched and he raised his head to make eye contact with her.
"What! When will she be back?" Inuyasha frowned a bit.
"Well she said she'd be back later on tonight I'm not sure, but your welcome to stay until she gets back" Miss Higarashi gave him a sweet smile and then returned over to the kitchen to continue what she was previously doing.
Inuyasha growled a bit and then ran out the door 'Damn that woman, she was supposed to be back this fricken morning, I'll show her a thing or two!' Inuyasha launched himself into the air and ran in the direction of her scent, at a point the Kagome's scent began to weaken and then disappeared fully, masked by the acrid smells of the pollutions and gases from the modern day technology, finding her would be a challenge that would have to wait.
Inuyasha stood at the opening of a subway transit station where her scent disappeared in with many others, a look of disappointment and anger crossed his features and he turned back.
Elsewhere, the sun had already begun to crack the edge of the horizon line. Kagome had spent the day walking and admiring the beauty of the vegetation that surrounded her.
"Well I guess that's it for today, might as well head back before the sun goes down" she said this to no one unparticular and smiled as she walked in the direction of the nearest bus stop.
A hand swiftly reached out and grabbed her by the right bicep and spun her around. It was a rather rough but fluent action and the position she was now in.
"And where do you think yer head'n off to? What's a gal like you doing all the way out here" A man that looked to be in his twenties pulled out a knife and held it roughly to her throat.
" Scream and, well you don't wanna find out do you…"Kagome flinched on contact, she felt the knife's edge slide across her neck as it was positioned, the tip was rusty and jagged as if it were used many times before to do labored tasks. The man looked down at her with an intoxicated glare and then gave her a sinister grin. Kagome swallowed hard and just stared up at the man trying to make no sudden moves, it was plain as day the man was drunk but how drunk.
The situation she was in was horrible, there was no telling what this strange man would do to her and to make matters worse he was armed with a rusty blade! A bead of sweat rolled down the edge of her face as the tall an uttered more threats to her keeping her quiet.
"Now yer gonna come with me, y'hear?" the man held his rusty knife tighter on her neck to confirm his demand.
Ooooooh a cliffy, well not really but hah! Left you hanging XD
