hello again! still don't own! (runs away)


He was waiting for her by the well.

'She better not take too long...' he was growling to himself. 'We have jewel shards to find!'

Suddenly, a shadow loomed over him. He looked up, towards the well from which it came.

"What the..!" he shouted and scurried away. Then... how had he not noticed the smell? "Ka...gome?" he asked, puzzled.

"Who else would it be?" the dark figure replied in a monotone voice. "Let's go find the others..." She got off the rim of the well and started walking away with Inuyasha following her hesitantly.

When they got to their camp, the rest of the group let out a gasp as they saw her. "...Wow... Kagome... your clothing is so... black,"Sango observed. "Just like my soul..." Was Kagome's stoical reply.

She was dressed in the gothic lolita style; black frilly dress, platform boots, black makeup, fishnet stockings, and a black parasol to complete the look.

"I must say Kagome... those stockings are hot!" Miroku eyed her over, only to be greeted with Kagome slowly turning her head his way with an eerily blank stare plastered on her pale, death-like face. He was certain he caught a glimpse of little floating skulls in her pupils. Miroku slowly backed away. "I'm sorry!" was all he could manage to squeak out.

"Kagome! Do you have any candy for me?" Shippou jumped up excitedly. Kagome silently went through her blackened bag and produced a handful of small round objects; she handed them to the kit. "Wh-What are these!" Shippou looked concerned, for there, in his small hands, were things that closely resembled eyeballs.

"Gum." Was all that Kagome would say. She took one herself and bit it in half. Red goo oozed out of it's middle. (A/N: I love those Halloween-style gumballs (drools)) Shippou whimpered and hid behind Sango.

Inuyasha let out an exasperated sigh. "WELL! Let's get going! C'mon, Kikyo! Er... I mean... Kagome!" He fell to the ground before he even took two steps. Yes, Kagome had sat him without even uttering a word. Pretty creepy, huh?

The group traveled like this for about a week, when Kagome finally said, "Well, I have a test. I'm going home." She then proceeded to fade into the shadows with the skill that every true goth possessed.

"Is... is she gone?" Shippou finally whispered. "...Yes..." Inuyasha replied, unsettled himself. 'What was that all about?' they all thought together.

Meanwhile...

'Well, Kagome, that didn't work! Everybody was terrified of me, Inuyasha actually called me Kikyo about 50 times a day, and on top of that, I kept spraining my ankle in these platforms, (besides, that parasol was a real hassle)! In fact, the only good thing about this was that demons seemed confused when they came to attack me. But then again... Naraku seemed to visit a lot more. I hope he didn't develop a crush on my new look!' She sweatdropped... and sweatdropped some more.

'I guess I'll just try again!' And she was off to the mall once more.


What's Kagome's new style going to be? Will it work this time!
