Kagome arched her back and she cornered her eyes to see Kira standing in the kitchen. Satoru was to occupied kissing her neck to even notice that they weren't alone anymore and he still didn't notice as he continued to nibble on her neck. She didn't want to be emotionally attached to anyone anymore and that included Sesshomaru and the Satoru. She just needed at least one out of the picture before she dealt with the rest.

He trailed his lips up her chin and as he located her lips that's when he finally stopped and detached his lips from hers as he looked upon a the person that watched them. "You were expecting a visitor Kagome." He motioned to Kira who just stood there and watched in disbelief.

She smirked as she turned around and stared at Kira. "Not really. He's just a person who bugs me a lot. He always comes to my house for some reason, like a lost puppy or something." Keeping a smirk on her face was hard as ever. She tried to keep that repulsive expression on her face as long as possible.

"Really. I think you should tell him to leave." Satoru wrapped his arms around her neck as he stood behind her, laying his chin on her shoulder. "He's really bothering."

"Why don't you leave Kira? I don't need my little puppy by my side right now." She raised her hand up against Satoru's cheek. She had to make it convincing as possible as she could but Kira just stood there and a smile crept up his lips.

Kira leaned up against the wall, crossing his arms as he smiled. " You're trying to drive me away aren't you but it won't work. You know why? It's because I love you too much to just give up on you so easily.

She clenched her fist tightly but she kept her composure and began again. "Oh really but I don't love you. I never loved you. Tell me something. Are you done with that project? Its due tomorrow."

"I did finish it but what does that-"

"Well for a smart guy you are really slow. I used you. I hate doing that stupid project, it was a waste of my time so I've been nice to you so you could finish it all up all by your self." Her past was seeping into her little by little. This whole being purely evil masquerade was reminding her about her old self and it was difficult to stay that way. The more she wickedly smirked at him the more she got use to it.

"I see." He tossed a piece of paper in the air and she watched it glide down as it hit the floor. "That's your speech for tomorrow. I'll be seeing you." He turned and exited through the front door. She winced as she heard the door slam shut, it was heart breaking for some odd reason.

"Mommy. I hate playing with that ugly lady." Satoru let Kagome go and turned to see an upset expression on his sister's face.

"Ugly! Why I'll show you ugly!" Kagura marched down the flight of stairs, ready to choke the child for that rude comment. "I'll wrap my hands around your neck and snap it in two. While I'm doing that I'll bury your dead bod-" Kagome stared at the enraged Kagura that turned beet red as she laid her eyes on Satoru.

"See, she's evil and ugly." Mayu raised her chin in the air as she glared at the blushing woman that stared constantly at her brother.

"What a sweet little girl." Kagura knelt down beside the child and patted her head. She was an act and Kagome couldn't look at her any further, She walked pass the scene and went up stairs. She ignored Mayu who called after her as she went into her room, not wanting to stay there any longer. Guilt just took hold of her as she sat on the bed. She sat there thinking. I'm so not going to school on Monday.


"No! Let me go Kyotaka. Don't do this to me!"

"It's for your own good. Now stop struggling." She wanted to cry but she shed too much tears and crying just for this was idiotic.

"Please anything but this!"

"Kagome stop struggling and get the hell out of the car." Kyotaka tried to push her out of the car and when he successfully did he slammed the door closed and locked it.

"Let me in. Come on Kyotaka I just want to miss school just this once." He shook his head and drove off. Her only hope was driving away and she let out a sigh. "Fine, if you don't want to let me stay home than I'll just-"

"Kagome!" She turned and let out the biggest most irritable sigh she ever exhaled in her life. Miroku walked toward her with a smile. "So you've finally arrived."

"Yeah. So what?"

Miroku cocked an eyebrow at her cold reply. "Is something wrong?"

"Yeah the world is what's wrong now what do you want?" She had to push everyone away at this point. She couldn't have anyone close to her anymore. She had to stay as far away from people as possible, all that mattered to her was their safety and they weren't going to be safe if she stayed around them.

"Hm. What a sudden change in attitude. Well this came in for you." He rose up a manila folder and she took it. She looked for a returning address but there wasn't any, it just had her name typed on the front.

"I'll be seeing you in class." She just stared at the manila folder in her hand and it took minutes until she decided to rip the folder open. Reaching inside she pulled out a paper and started to read the letter that had only on sentence on it. Her hands trembled as she laid her eyes on the paper and wanted to drop to her knees. She didn't have feeling in her body and it was difficult to breath.

I hope you have the cassette player with you.

She shoved her hands into the manila folder and took out the tape; all that was missing was the player. She didn't have it with her and she didn't want to think what would happen if she didn't listen to the tape right there and than. Taking a deep breath she ignored the bell that rung for morning classes and ran, ignoring her heavy breathing as she exhaled. She was getting exhausted but she just ignored the need to rest and ran.


It was hard to concentrate on one thing when she was doing another. Her mind wondered off on what was going to be on the tape. Just the thought made the need for a rest disappeared as she turned a sharp corner. The damn house seemed more farther than it really was. It took a long time to get there and when she did she slammed the front door open and skid her way through the kitchen, ignoring her brother as she went upstairs and into her room.

"Where's that damn thing?" Locking the door she went through her drawers and threw clothes out of it as she searched for that one object that decided whether a life was going to be taken. "Fuck, where did I put it."

"kagome! Open this door."

"Shut up!" Frustration was the last thing she wanted to feel. Tears just started to escape her eyes as she tried to look for the cassette player but it wasn't anywhere in site. She dropped to her knees frantically looking around the room but her tears just blurred her vision.

"Kagome!" Kyotaka shouted pounding his fist on the door.

She shot her eyes open and she swung her backpack in front of her and opened it. Grabbing the bottom of the bag she dropped everything, her book, her pencils, and her sketchpad as it piled on the floor. Scattering the items apart she found the cassette that was hidden under a book and fumbled as she tried to put the tape in, ignoring the fact that she absentmindedly ran all the way home for nothing. She wiped her tears with her arm and she listened to the tape, trying to ignore the excessive pounding on the door.

My precious little girl. I want to hold you in my arms and lick the blood off of your skin as I cut you apart. I missed the taste of it but as patient as I am, I'll wait. Just thinking about it wants me to dig up your grave even sooner. Although I decided that I wouldn't want to kill you, you're to precious to me, my good little girl my precious tool.. Now to prove to me that I should withdraw my killing spree on your family I need you to do something for me and just to warn you when your on this little errand for mines you shouldn't eat dinner or lunch. Now meet me in the cemetery… I'll be at your brother's grave.


"I don't care. Shut the fuck up already. I don't care if I skip school. If it puts that angered look upon your face than maybe I'll drop out of school." Her head jerked to the side at his sudden reaction to her statement. She held her hand up to her cheek and smirked.

"That hurt but I expected a punch not a slap. What are you a girl?" She teased and as she expected, she got a right hook to the face. She locked her head to the side and she slowly turned to face Kyotaka with a smile revealing on her face.

"What the hell's gotten into you?"

"This is how I was before. You should have gotten use to my old self a long time ago." The air grew incredible thick with anger and her old self completely took over. She didn't want to be the nice girl anymore; it only caused trouble for her and everyone around her. So her irritable side sank deep into the pits of her stomach as her smartass self bumped into gear. If this was a year ago she would be loving every minute of his anger but it just was to much to bear but she was good at lieing and acting, so it didn't really mean anything it just was something she had to do.

"I liked the new you better."

She rolled her eyes. "Well to bad. I like my old self better and my old self doesn't follow orders nor does it take any suggestions in changing to that annoying, kind, weak girl that I played as for almost 4 months. You know how hard it was to hold a grin when that grin didn't involve me getting a person upset. Well it was hard and I'm so not going back to that."

"What is up with you? Why don't you just tell me what's going on?" Kyotaka crossed his arms as he waited for her to reply. She just sat in front of him silent and she glanced at her watch. 11:45… I don't have time for this. She bolted to her feet and walked passed him and headed upstairs. He as expected yelled after her but she didn't turn back but looked ahead as she slammed the door closed. Locking it, she picked up the cassette player that laid on her bed, the tape didn't really say to bring it nor did it said not to. So she played it safe and placed it in her pockets as she took hold of her jacket. Everything she did was hard for her, the argument she just had with Kyotaka, the tapes, and now sneaking out in the middle of the night.

Kneeling down on the floor she reached under her bed and took out the fire escape ladder. She clipped the hooks of the ladder on the window frame and slung it down to the ground. She patted down her pant's pockets just to make sure she had everything she needed. The air was crisp and she climbed down and as she got to the floor she started to run. "Damn it, I'm running late."

She stared at her watch continuously as she ran to the cemetery. She wasn't really scared about going to the cemetery in the middle of the night but this time it was different. The thought of meeting the man that was sending her the tapes was just scratching at her mind. All these emotions such as, anxiety, frustration, anger and fear ran through her veins.

She looked at the tombstones that were neatly spaced between each other. She looked at this place differently now. It was a place to go back to her memories and remember about the good times as well as the bad but it was her favorite place in Tokyo for some reason. The cemetery contained many deceased, rotting bodies but it was still her favorite place.

She went through the column of tombstones and took site of the area where her brother's grave laid but didn't see a dark figure there. No one was there and she quickly looked at her watch that struck 12. She was on time and in confusion she cautiously walked to the area and a bunch of items was laid on the grave.

"A tape again." She let out a sigh of relief. "I rather have the tape rather than the real thing. Lucky thing I brought the player." She knelt down in front of the objects that laid in front of her. "What am I going to do with these?" She stared at the rope, flashlight, tin bucket, a drill of some sort, gloves, a blue cell phone and a shovel that laid in front of her. She shrugged and placed the tape in the holder of the cassette player and pressed play.

"Graves is just a way to get the decease body out of sight. It is just a container to hide the horrible sight of the rotting flesh of a corpse but the grave and the body are the same. As the grave hides the horrible truth so does the body. In this case your brother's body. You see all the material set in front of you. You must have guessed by looking at the shovel on what you'll be spending the past hours doing. Well if you don't, let me explain. You'll have 4 hours to dig up your brother's grave and open the casket but don't forget to tie the rope on to a nearby tombstone so you can get back up. Looking on at your brother's rotting body you'll make an insigne with the bone saw starting at the neck bone down to the stomach. Use the flashlight to look inside the body and you'll find something quite surprising. I'm expecting you to be in shock right now Kagome but listen carefully. If you don't do this and I see the grave not undone than the first person I kill will be that friend of yours, Ren but if I have time I'll kill two, Ren and Sesshomaru. I hope you haven't eaten but if you have the bucket is provided for you, don't vomit on the grave you got that. You better hurry up and dig that grave because when the clock hits 5, security and the clean up crew will catch you. I'll know if you didn't do the job right so follow every instruction accurately. I'll contact you and if you don't answer you'll know what happens and as for shoes. Dispose of it as soon as you can, you don't want to be getting caught."

The area soon grew silent and she held her hands to her mouth and her stomach started to churn in disgust. This man, who ever he may be was crazy, he was more ruthless and worst than Hiten. She didn't know who the person was, for all she knew it might be Hiten but she wasn't entirely sure. She quickly shook the thought away and slowly propped herself on her feet. The thought of defiling her own brother's grave and than cutting his body open just made things harder when she put on the gloves and started to move all the stuff off of the gave and tied the rope tightly around a head stone that laid close by. Gripping the pendant around her neck she took a deep breath and curled her hand around the wooden handle of the shovel.

"I'm so sorry Bankotsu." She whispered as she jammed the shovel into the dirt.


She thought about the good days she had with her brother and her family. The times where they would laugh together, be together, spent time together…she merely thought about the happier days because that was the only thing she could do as she continued to dig. Her muscles were already grueling in pain but she kept on going. By the morning every muscle in her body would hurt by a single touch, if she made it to the morning and not get caught.

"I can't believe I'm doing this." She winced as she shoveled the dirt out of the hole. She's been digging for 3 hours and she had to hurry and when she heard a thud, she practically fell to her knees but soon caught herself as she pushed away the thought of resting and continued to shovel the light dirt out of the whole.

The white coffin shown between the small amounts of dirt that still remained. She lifted the shovel and dragged the bone saw that laid near the edge of the hole and it fell on to the coffin. She threw the shovel out of the hole and she grabbed the bone saw. She placed her foot in the little amount of space that was left on the side as she wedged her fingers to open the coffin. She nearly lost her lunch when she saw the mummified looking body. It didn't look nothing like Bankotsu and the thought that this deceased body that was once her brother, disgusted her.

Ignoring the thought and the bad smell she turned on the bone saw and stuck it in its neck. The body was tough to cut through and as she struggled to glide the saw down to his chest she held her free hand up against her nose and her mouth. When the insigne was done she slightly knelt down as she wedged her had between the insigne and started to pull it apart to look inside but was only able to slightly open it. She let go as the skin retracted into place as she pulled out a flashlight; she turned it on and put it in her mouth. She pulled the insigne apart and saw the light reflect something. She reached in as far as she could and pulled out a zip block bag. The object that was in the zip block was covered with tissue that prevented her from seeing the object that laid inside.

Glancing at her watch she closed the coffin and stuffed the bag in her pocket followed by the flashlight. She didn't leave any fingerprints on the object since she wore the gloves so she decided to leave the bone saw and the rope behind. She grabbed the blue cell phone that laid on the ground beside the hole and started to run away from the grave. She didn't have time to cover the grave back with dirt so she just ran. She didn't look back, she held the necklace in her hand as she cried.

"I'm so sorry Bankotsu."


She glanced up at the ceiling and ran her fingers through her damped hair. She took a shower soon after she came home and immediately washed her clothes in the machine. She had the plastic bag in her hands and she held it up in front of her as she stared at it.

"How did they get this into his body?" The question was unanswered, as the room grew silent. The sun started to rise and she sat up looking out the window. She unrolled the zip lock back and opened it. Taking out the object that was wrapped in several layers of napkins as she started to unfold it. Her jaw and her immensely pained muscles tensed up as she looked upon the item in her hand.

"I did all that just for this!" She almost wanted to let out a piercing scream but soon calmed herself down as she popped the tape into the cassette player.

"You have quite the guts Kagome but I take it you wouldn't want to hear the word guts due to your night travels in the human body. This was a test for you and it also told me how far you would go to save your pathetic friends and family. If only you didn't have a heart like me this wouldn't be happening to you. I'm guessing you're wondering who the hell I am. Who is this person who has been torturing you and driving you to the brink where you wanted to kill yourself. Well I'm not going to tell you that but make you find out for yourself and when you finally find out who I am than the real fun will begin."

So awful… I know, just for another tape. Well the next chapter is going up soon and i have to say that i had to put the grave robbing for the story o have increasingly more problems oh and about her family kissing her... well i wanted to do that for the same reason i did the grave thing.
