Chapter 2: Spare Time
The days passed slowly for Kagome. A summer of few friends and less adventure left her at the mercy of the Comic Book Java, although spare time seemed to haunt her during these rainy afternoons.
"This is sooo boring." Kagome lay face down on her blue-green bedspread dangling her arms over the sides while staring out of the nearest window with dull eyes.
"Why is it still raining? I could at least be bored while sun-tanning if the sun were out." She slowly slid off of the bed and landed softly on the hard wood floor. The air was damp and cold like a blanket worn by the dead. Too uncomfortable to lie around any longer, Kagome stood up half- determinedly and headed out of the room, down the hallway, to the front entrance of her home.
"Kagome? Where are you off to in this weather?" Her mother looked over from the kitchen entryway where she had been shelving groceries.
"No where really, I just felt like taking a walk to ease the boredom." Kagome reached for her orange raincoat and black boots from within the coat closet. Sota, her younger brother, looked up from his video game in the family TV-room; her Grandfather sat next to him holding a second controller with distress written over the entirety of his face as he was obviously losing. "Sis, can I come too? I already beat Grandfather 5 times and I'm dying for something else to do."
"Fine with me, but I'm not promising that a walk in the rain will be much more exciting."
Sota soon had his own raincoat and boots assembled. The pair left the temple home in silence, leaving only the sound of rain as it splish- sploshed onto the grounds. Sota was delighted by the puddles that had formed in the valleys of earth, methodically stomping his rubber boots into each one they came across, sending water into flight aimed for Kagome.
"Sota! Cut it out.you are such a child." Brushing water from her face, Kagome walked quickly away from her brother and headed towards the driveway. 'The park might be nice,' she ventured in her mind, 'there's the small archway where we could sit watch the rainfall.' Decided upon her destination, Kagome called for Sota to hurry up. They traveled slowly along the sides of the quiet streets, making lefts, then rights at the intersections. Soon, the park was in sight, the resident trees holding gloom and decay in their thick branches. As the duo stepped up onto the concrete steps leading into the park, Sota began picking up fallen leaves in a restless attempt to conquer the dullness. Kagome followed the pathway that led from the top of the short stairway, disregarding the boy dancing along beside her, landing sometimes off the pathway in the mush of the wet earth. 'Just a little further now.'
The archway was a small speck of land sheltered by the bent arms of three towering oaks. Kagome and Sota sat nestled beneath the limbs, looking out upon a mesmerizing vision of blue-grey. A lake was immediately in front of them, rippling with the bombardment from the heavens, half-covered with a thin fog. Trees in every direction bent low with saturation.
::sigh:: Kagome curled her knees up to her chest, resting her chin atop one of them.
"This is boring, sis, can we go home now?" Sota had laid out his collection of leaves, in stacks according to size, shape, and color.
"Quiet Sota, can't you just sit still for a few minutes and enjoy the scenery?" Sota gave her a look of raised eyebrows and shook his head. Kagome just stared out into the fog, noticing the mirror-images floating upon the surface of the lake. 'Just like that night.' Her head filled with memories of the previous week, the night she met that strange boy. 'Or did I?' The police had arrived to find no traces of him, only two young women badly shaken up by something imaginary. Still, she could not rid her memory of those deep amber eyes. 'Inu.yasha.' Somehow the name felt familiar, like a deja vu or a word she heard in the wind.
At Sota's tugging, Kagome finally agreed to depart from their hidden abode. Upon standing, Kagome was frozen to the spot as her eyes fell on a dark form barely 6 feet away. Shaped humanly, it stood waiting beside a slender tree-trunk, unmoving.
She whispered hurriedly, "Sota, don't move." The young boy stared up at his sister in confusion. Kagome only stared ahead at the figure, fearfully considering how to act.
"Who's there?!" Her voice shot through the air half-muffled by the rain. Suddenly, the figure moved towards her, revealing a glint of white.and amber.
Pushing Sota behind her with shaking hands, Kagome yelled out again, "What do you want?!" The figure stopped just 3 feet from where she stood, his young face sad and puzzled. He wore the same strange clothing as before. Angrily, he spoke, "What the hell, Kagome? Don't you know who I am?"
Startled, Kagome replied, "How dare you talk to me that way! How do you know my name? WHAT DO YOU WANT?" She stepped sideways, pushing Sota along with her.
"Sis, I'm scared.what's going on? Who is that?" Kagome hushed her brother.
"Run home, Sota. NOW." Sota hesitated, then ran from behind Kagome into the mists of the park. The figure moved closer with one hand stretched out and spoke again, "C'mon Kagome, we've got to get out of here. Don't you know where you are?"
"What are you talking about? Get away from me!" Kagome turned as he approached and ran into the park after her brother. She heard a sudden groan but kept running straight through the maze of trees and shrubs. Caught up with Sota, she stopped him, then turned to look back at where the strange boy had been standing. He was gone.
At home, Sota was comforted by his mother, while Kagome attempted to logically explain their run-in with a mysterious stranger. Hours later, she sat in her room with a cup of warm cocoa, once again staring out of the second-story window. 'Inu-yasha.' she murmured to herself. His image crowded her mind. 'a beautiful face.yet sad, angry. Those eyes are so deep.definitely not human.' Her heart fluttered in her chest. 'Perhaps.I'll see him again.'
