"No, this can't be happening!"
Heavy panting echoed off the walls as a 17-year-old boy ran down the old wooden hall, clutching something wrapped in a sheet. At first glance it looked like just a pile of red sheets, but if you looked closely, you would see it was a body of a woman, and also that the sheets where not original red. Ancient paintings of the boy's family enriched with gold borders blurred past the boy at a inhuman speed.
The hallway came to an end and the boy stopped. If someone where to have been watching him at that moment, they would probably assume he was listening to something even though nothing was to be heard by an human ear. The young man stepped in front off a small mahogany door, which was just big enough to a fit a average sized human being threw it. Opening the door he walked into the small but elaborately decorated room, too which seemed to be a study, and set the bundle he was carrying on a couch.
The sheet fell off of the woman's face showing her rare beauty. Her dark but soulful eyes remained closed as her long eyelashes gracefully touched her cheeks. Her face was drained of blood to the point where her skin looked snow white. Her long straight black hair framed her face only resulting in making her face look whiter.
The boy gave a small smile at the woman and touched her cheek, which was cold to the touch. "I'll be back soon, Kikyo."
Standing up quickly he ran out of the room, and started running down the next hallway to his left. A sickening noise rang out threw the house, sounding like a nearly dead wolf, howling its last breath at the moon. Slow but steady footsteps could be heard down the hall, getting faster and closer.
Thump…
Thump…
Thump…
August 29 2005Today was the day that Kagome went house shopping with her family she was looking forward to it…well, until now.
"This is crazy!"
An exasperated Kagome huffed at her mother as she turned down yet another house offer they looked at.
"We have been to 12 houses already! There was nothing wrong with the last one!" The 15 years old pouted and looked to her right. "It has a hot tub…"
"Come now Kagome, you know how much I want to find something unique, something with history, you know?" Her eyes twinkled with adore while Kagome sweat-dropped and rolled her eyes.
"Sure, mom, whatever, just don't do that thing with your eyes"
Her mother smiled and looked at her. "How about we chose the next house together then?"
Kagome looked skeptical. "Well…ok."
Her mother walked back to the car to grab the house catalog and Kagome stood there to wait but something glittered in her eye. "What is that?"
Silver metal gleamed in the sun, making it look even more angelic than it already was. Kagome picked it up and looked at it closer. It was a locket. The locket was silver and had a round shape to it. It had a carved gold border on it with a porcelain middle that had some sort of flower design on it. It had no chain, and had rusted hinges, making it impossible to open. It was rather heavy, nearly the weight of a small rock. Kagome turned it over in her hands carefully. Glancing at the back of the beautiful locket, you could tell something was once carved in the silver, but it was so rubbed out it was blankly impossible to read.
"I wouldn't touch that if I you" A deep male voice sounded behind her making her twist around in surprise.
"Oh, Souta, It's just you!" She let out a breath of relief and continued to twirl the locket around in her hands.
"Why can't I pick it up, Souta? It was just sitting there on the sidewalk!"
Souta glared at the locket as though it would come alive and attack at any second. " There's something weird about that locket." Walking over to the young dark haired girl, he picked it up the large bulky locket and examined it closely, eyebrow furled, and lips pursed.
Kagome rolled her eyes. "Please, Souta" She took the locket back, giving him and annoyed look. "You can't scare me with all the paranormal mumbo jumbo, it doesn't exist."
Souta looked at her with a look she couldn't really recognize, and smirked at something behind her. "Whatever floats your boat, Sis"
Kagome cocked an eyebrow at him, and whirled around curious to see what he was looking at. She saw nothing but a large old house. It was a nice house, she had it admit. She felt drawn to it for some reason.
It was an off white color, its three stories towered over the two neighboring houses. Windows were many different places, some round, some square. She admired it thoughtfully, and looked at the top window. A flash of silver appeared and then disappeared just as fast. She blinked and shook it off thinking it was just the sun gleaming on the glass. But the sun wasn't silver was it?
Looking at the front lawn every thought she had left her. It was absolutely stunning. The lush green grass make all the different colored flowers stand out like a beautiful sunset. Two things seemed to catch her attention though. While all of the flowers were fully bloomed, one bush closer to the front of the house, was wilted and looked dead. The bush, which obviously was once filled with red roses, was now brown, although for some reason it was only wilted on the top, while the rest of it looked perfectly fine.
'It must be the end of the season' she thought as she turned her attention to something else. In the middle of the lawn perched carefully was a large sign. A sign that 'For Sale.' She was very surprised at this, who would want to sell such a beautiful house.
"Kagome? What are you doing? We still have to choose our next-" Kagome's mother suddenly froze and gasped "Oh my!"
If it was not for the suddenly for the interruption, Kagome probably would have burst out laughing at her mothers face. The front door and opened and an elderly couple and another younger woman in a suit stepped out of the house. She kindly smiled at the couple. "So what did you think of the house?"
The elderly woman return the smile as she started to talk. "Oh, the house was very lovely but…"
Everyone turned there attention to the elderly man when he start talking. "…We were looking for something a little more…"
The man thought for a moment before the younger woman ended his sentence. "Quaint?"
The couple nodded apologetically. The young woman smiled again. "Don't worry, we get that often about this house, but anyways, you two have a good day!"
The couple said their goodbyes and left. Sighing the woman walked back to the fence gate. The suited lady spotted the family as she walked to the gate and smiled kindly at them. "Oh, are you here to see the house also?"
Kagome couldn't help but notice she had slight desperation in her voice, and a look of hope on her face. Wondering why, she looked back at the house. 'Do people not want to buy it?'
Kagome was snapped back to reality when her mother started talking. "Well, we weren't planning on it but…"
She glanced at her children with a questioning face. "What do you guys say, do you want take a look at the house?"
Both siblings thought about the question for a moment before chiming out a 'Sure, why not.' and 'Ok.'
"Perfect!" The woman shook each of their hands. "My name is Yuka, it's a pleasure to meet you all."
The small family smiled and followed her towards the house. She seemed to have a little more skip in her step. "Come right this way, and I'll give you a tour of the house!"
Kagome glanced one more time at the house before entering. Walking into the main entrance, she turned around and looked at the outside world before stepping in completely 'Well, here goes nothing…'
