Disclaimer: I don't own Inu-Yasha or any of the characters to bad.
Kagome was frightened what if it was a demon! What would she do?
"No, I'm just over reacting. It…..it's probably nothing just a cat or something."
Regardless of what she told herself she was still scared. Kagome hid behind a bookcase by the door. The window beside it allowed her to see outside.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, they stopped right in front of the door. Kagome moved her neck so she could look through the window. Just her luck it was to dark to see anything.
She heard a hand on the door knob.
"Oh no! I forgot to lock the door!" Kagome thought as the door knob slowly turned.
The door started to open. What was she going to do?
"Kagome is that you down there!" The door slammed shut and then there was a sound of footsteps quickly running away.
Kagome took a deep breath and looked up at the stairs. Her Grandpa was standing on the middle step looking down at her.
"Yes Grandpa it's me." Kagome said.
"What are you doing down here?" he asked.
"Should I tell him about the well? Or should I make something up?" Kagome thought desperately trying to think of something.
"I was….I was um….getting a drink of water I could sleep." She said hopping her Grandpa would believe her.
"Oh well alright then. You better get back to bed now. We don't want you over tired." He said and walked upstairs.
"He makes more sense when he is tired." Kagome thought.
She ran up stairs and into her room. She was too afraid to sleep now so she sat at her desk and looked out the window. Next thing she knew she heard her alarm clock go off.
"What!" Kagome sat up straight up had fallen asleep on her desk.
The sun was streaming through her window highlighting her pink carpet.
Memories of last night flooded into her mind. Who was outside? What did they want? Kagome changed and went downstairs. No one seemed to be up yet so she ran to the door.
Last night the person tried to get in maybe they left a clue of who they were. Kagome opened the door. Maybe finger prints? She walked though the doorway and turned around. A small piece of red cloth was lying at the bottom of the door.
"What are you doing?" Kagome looked up to see Sota looking down at her.
"Nothing." She replied.
"You've been acting really odd lately. Hey, what's that?" Sota asked looking down at the cloth.
"Just some fabric."
"Okay Kagome spill. I heard some awfully loud noises last night. What happened?" Sota said. Kagome felt she could trust Sota so she told him what had happened the night before.
"Hey maybe it's-" Sota began.
"No, it can't be, Sota. It can't be him."
"But what if it is Kagome what then? You miss him don't you?"
"No, actually, I don't. You can believe what ever you want, but I have a wedding to plan for. And I can't waste my time talking to you." Kagome said and stomped off.
She decieded to go for a walk. Kagome fumbled with the red cloth. What if it really was him? She wasn't aloud to think very long because someone called her name. It was Ayumi.
"Come on Kagome were altering our dresses now come help!" she said and pulled on Kagome's arm. She turned around to walk with her friend. Out of the corner of her eye she saw a red blur. Kagome turned in that direction and saw…..
Sorry this one took so long. I've had so much homework lately. Hopefully the next will be up soon.
