(( Dedication )) (( Julie your idea was stuck in my head while I was in the car all of yesterday and it formulated into the up and coming plot of this story. So from this point forward this story is dedicated to you))

. : Chapter Eight : .
The quiet that had been suffocating the group disapated with the ringing of the Junior High School across the street.
Kagome sat up and slid off the wall, landing slightly crouched on the ground. Mana hesitantly moved towards here and reach out to touch her arm, but Kagome straightened and pulled out of her reach.
"Ano, Higurashi-kun will you join our group?"
She looked back at the group, she liked them but her instincts were pulling at her to kill them, especially 'Itsuki-kun'. She truly believe that if she were to join any particular side this would be the right one, but could she actually do it and hold back her instincts so she wouldn't betray them later?
"I will think about it. There are some thing about this war that I am unsure of and I do not know if I wish to be apart of another mad struggle for power."
And she was gone, walking swiftly across the street and away from the people she may become involved with.
I . I . I . I . I . I . I . I . I . I .
"What do you think about her?"
The group all turned to Itsuki, who had voiced the question.
"I don't know, but she has not been mind breaked like we were when we met Mana," responded Kaname.
"She's very different from you guy, but I feel an affinity with her…" Haruna whispered.
"Now we just have to decide whether that is a good or bad thing, and then what we'll do about it," Nakaura added.
I . I . I . I . I . I . I . I . I . I .
Kagome didn't see Souta anywhere, but she specifically remember telling him to met her at the front gate when school was over. She scanned around as she made her way into the junior high school, hoping to see him and thereforth not having to talk to any more idiotic school officals.
He was no where to be found.
She was really worried now. Souta pull many pranks but he knew not to cross the line and in her head a sign was flashing, reading 'line, one mile back'.
Shoving the door to the office violently aside, Kagome stormed into the room. An older student was behind the secretary desk and he was watching her alertly.
"Can I help you miss?" He asked politely.
"I can't find my brother, Souta Higurashi could you page him for me?"
The boy looked briefly baffeled but then scurried about the desk grabbing papers that he sent flying with his every movment.
"Higurshi, hm… Ah here it is. One Higurashi Souta was picked up just after one by his father," the boy read.
Kagome paled and slammed her fist onto the desk. The boy coward backwards in his swirly chair, trying to escape or at least find a shield from her wrath.
"You better be joking, my fathers been dead for at least a decade," she growled.
"I-I'm s-sorry ma'am but I have no idea what's g-going on."
It was an enemy
They taken the only other like us
We will have revenge
Even if it means siding with those we wish to kill
Find those whom you were deaing with earlier
They WILL help us
And kami help those who dared to cross us
Because we expect a decent fight
And no mortal would be able to withstand our wrath for long
Listening to the demanding voices in her head she left the boy at the desk abruptly and turned to leave, voicing one last threat as she exited the room.
"If he's harmed you will receive twice them injuries he suffers."
Before she had time to think she was outside and crossing the streets. The group she had left only minutes ago had only just let and she could see them walking in the direction opposite of her.
Get them NOW
They might know some information
Or they may help us get him back
And if not…
We can always find someone else
And wreak vengeance on them
After Souta is safe
Kagome ran after them, they had a head start but were walking so it didn't take long for her to get within hearing distance.
"WAIT!"
She could hear the desperation in her own voice but could help it, Souta was missing, who cared if they though she was weak. Kagome certainly didn't. Itsuki turned and saw her, he got the attention of the rest of the group and they stopped and waited for her to catch up to him.
"Did something happen Higurashi-kun?" Mana asked.
"My brother's been taken," Kagome whispered.
I . I . I . I . I . I . I . I . I . I .
He could 'see' everything that happen, sense her anguish.
Something in him was crumbling.
Turning he searched for an aura that match the girl's. He found another mixed aura a ways off and what he could tell was happening to the person, who was no doubt the 'key's' brother, was horrifying.
It had happen to him also.
He was off, he would save the boy child, or at least find someway to spare the boy the fate that he, himself was doomed to live.
He had been correct in the assumption that the end of the war would be spectacular but he underestimated his involvement.
Such a pity, he did truly hate to be wrong.
: . End Chapter . :
. : Author's Note : .
Alright it was a short chapter but I will return soon, I probably will update this much more frequently in hopes of finishing it before school starts.
An so the myserious observer will soon be taking an active part in this story, and so will Souta. The part is growing way too big and so I will fins thing to do with most of them so they won't all be present at once.

: . Review Responses . :
Evfrosyne – I know but I don't really like happy-happy Kagome all that much.
regretfully-yours-Cassy-chan – ciao is pronounced "chow", like food, butyou know I had no idea what it was the first couple of time I saw it either, but that's foreign languages for you.
LKLTB – Most likely, but on the off chance I change my mind she'll be with Tsukasa.
Julie – What you're leaving just when I seriously need your help! T-T Come back soon because I want you to create what you want Noya Ai to look like, him being your character and all, but he'll be the sightless that has been watching the events. The one at the ends of the chapters, with the bandana/cloth thing over his eyes.
Kitty Mew 2005 – ooh, KagSess I'll have to go check it out. I dream of Itsuki…
