Last time:
Before she realized it was after seven and it was dark outside. It was her turn to close up the diner. She had the car because Sango and her brother got a ride with Miroku. Kikyo left early like always, probably gone off to meet one of her boyfriends. And here little old Kagome was locking up the restaurant.
"I need a boyfriend." She whispered to herself as she closed the door behind her.
"What's a pretty thing like you doing without a boyfriend?" A snide voice came from behind her. Kagome made a fast turn towards the street but didn't make it.
Chapter ThreeKagome felt him grab her from behind. He wrapped his left arm around her chest to hold her arms from moving. His right hand came up to cover her mouth to prevent her from yelling. She kept struggling to get away from him, but he only gripped her tighter to his body.
He blew his hot breath down her neck that came exposed and whispered words into her ears.
"You pretty little thing, and you don't have a boyfriend to hold you and touch you?" he asked her. Kagome just closed her eyes and shook her head.
He laughed. "I'm doing enough holding, now I only need to do is some touching." He said as he moved his left hand a little so that he could open her coat.
Kagome only whimpered as she felt hot tears burst from her gray eyes. He stopped moving when he felt them run over the fingers holding her mouth.
"Now your crying." He loosened his grip on her and held her shoulders. He looked into her face. "Don't cry." He said tenderly. "I don't know why I do this." He told himself as he hugged Kagome to his body.
Kagome was too scared to realize what was happening. She thought that he was still trying to hurt her. She was remembering back to the time when her ex-boyfriend had beat her. That's why she left her family and home in Kyoto to come to Tokyo. Her boyfriend had been sent to prison, but not before he threatened to get her back.
She finally came to her senses when she felt this man's gentle cooing and warm touch. She jerked away from him only to see his face. His eyes caught the light from the road. The bright green eyes looked at her with concern. In the dark she couldn't see all of him, but she did notice that his hair was long. Just below his shoulder.
A screech of cars sounded around the streets and then the dull moan of police car sirens. And this green-eyed devil ran. He left Kagome standing in the parking lot of the diner. She heard the sound of gun shots being fired and fell out of her shock. She got into her car, and sped home. Violating two stop signs.
She stopped at her apartment building and parked her car outside. She took no chances being in the basement tonight. This place had pretty good security, but no chances. She slid the key card in the lobby door and rushed inside. She wanted a warm shower and maybe she would call home. Check up on her little brother Souta.
She passed a suspicious looking guard, and took the elevator up, where they had cameras. Inside the elevator was a little girl. She had brown hair and violet eyes; she looked at Kagome and asked if she had any candy.
"Pretty lady, do you have any candy?" the little girl asked.
Kagome having remembered sneaking some of Sango's Hershey kisses. She went in her coat pocket and pulled out three little bell-shaped candies, wrapped up in silver foil.
"Here you are." She gave them to her.
The little girl's eyes lit up and snatched them from Kagome's outstretched hand. "Thank you! I'm Sidney Malone. I live in apartment 626. Could you take me home?" she asked Kagome.
Kagome looked at her and just couldn't say no. After all that happened to her she just wanted to sleep. "Okay, I'll take you home. I'm Kagome, and I live at apartment 606. All the way down the hall."
They chatted for a little as the elevator lifted them. They got to the sixth floor and turned left. They walked hand in hand to the door and knocked. A worried looking woman opened and shrieked her daughter's name.
"SIDNEY! Oh my god you're back! We were so worried about you! Don't leave me again!" She grasped her child closely to her chest. She looked up and saw Kagome awkwardly standing there.
"You found my daughter? Thank you very much! She has been missing for six hours today. Is there any way I could repay you? Please come in." The frantic Mrs. Malone said.
"Uh...I...can't. I'm very busy right now. I must get going." She bowed slightly to the older woman as she turned to leave. "Bye Sidney!" She waved.
Kagome her Sidney telling her mom where she lived and that tomorrow they would visit. Kagome just groaned. She sped down the hall as soon as she heard their door close. She unlocked the door with the key card and locked it when she closed it behind her. She dropped her coat and purse at the door and went to the washroom.
She turned the cold water faucet on and soaked her face. She turned the water off and groped around for a towel. She went to the front door, hung her coat, and grabbed her purse. She turned to her left and pressed the on button of her answering machine.
She listened. "Hi, you have reached Kagome Higurashi's place. I'm not home, so leave a message."
Beep.
"Hi Kagome it's Sango. I left my purple scarf in your car again. When you get a chance get it for me. Miroku and I are going out Friday and I need it. Thanks, Bye!"
Yeah, yeah. Beep.
"Hi, Kagome, this is Hojo and I was...wondering if...you'd like to have...lunch with me on Wednesday, after classes. Let me know. Bye."
Great. Beep.
"Hi Hun, its Mom. Just wondering how my baby is doing. Your not home so call me when you have a chance. Bye sweetheart."
Okay. Beep.
"End of messages."
"Well now I think I'll go take that shower." She said to herself and went to the bathroom.
Twenty minutes later, Kagome came out with a peach towel wrapped around her chest and hair. Then she heard a loud knock at her door. "Who could that be?" she asked herself. She grabbed her robe and just tossed it on over her towel. She opened the door as far and the chain lock would let her.
"Hel...lo..." she stumbled. It was the man from the parking lot. The one who grabbed her then ran. Kagome jumped from the door.
"Wait, I need your help. Please." He pleaded.
Kagome looked at him. He was a tall man, and looked very lean and built. In the light from the hallway, he had red shoulder length hair. His eyes were shocking green.
"Please." He said again. This time with pain written on his face. He had a cut lip. Kagome wondered how he got here. Better yet how he found her.
And as if he had been reading her thoughts. "I recognized your car outside. Please help me. I won't hurt you again." He stumbled to his knees as he groaned in pain.
"Why do I get myself into this?" she asked herself.
Kagome being a softhearted woman couldn't leave him there. She closed the door and unhooked the chain. She opened the door wide and helped him up and inside. She put him to sit on the couch and stood.
"You had better not touch me again. I know Kung-fu." She lied to him. He just laughed, but grabbed his side.
Kagome ran to her bathroom cabinet and took out the first aid kit. She walked back to him. "Take off your coat and shirt. Let me have a look." She told him. His head shot up and looked at her.
As he was taking off his leather jacket she noticed a lot of blood on his green shirt. He had trouble with his shirt, but with Kagome's help it was off and thrown to the ground. She opened the kit and took out some rubbing alcohol. She went to the kitchen and grabbed a bowl of hot water and rags.
She knelt down and cleaned the wound. "My name's Shippo Senshi. I'm sorry for earlier, it's not like me. I don't do that, I don't mug people." Kagome stopped and looked at him, she believed him. He didn't look any older than sixteen.
"Well, I am Kagome Higurashi. And this is going to hurt a lot." She said as she placed the alcohol soaked rag to his side.
He nearly jumped out of his seat.
"Sorry." Kagome said as she began to wrap his chest. She put the dirty supplies into the garbage and packed the rest away.
She got up and went to the kitchen. She made some instant noodles for the both of them. She gave him some and they ate silently.
She finished and placed her bowl in the sink. She went to the closet and grabbed a pillow and blankets. She went back to the couch and handed them to him.
"Thank you very much. And Don't worry I'll be out of here in the morning." She helped him make his bed then went to her own.
She was asleep for no longer than twenty minutes, when she heard window being opened. There was a dark figure in the window advancing towards her bed.

Empty Spirit: Yes, Kikyo never fails to ruin other people's lives. If only she had stayed dead in the series, such problems wouldn't have risen. But then again the show wouldn't be complete without her. So take pity on her, at least I'll try. Thanks for the review!
Lady Poison: Thank you! I hope this gives you a shock!

Jamie: Happy New years to you too! Well since you don't like Kag/Sess stories, I won't try to convert you, unless I have already. But to tell you the truth I didn't at first. But then I read some really good stuff. Its just Kagome fit this character better than anyone else did. Don't worry, I'll try not to make Inuyasha a jerk like most people do. Thanks for the review!
Kimonolover: NOO! Don't send me your flesh-eating cat. I hope this chapter makes up for anything I did! Thanks for the review!
