Chapter 4
Souta sat outside the door of the house waiting quietly. His mom peeked around the door to
check on him. "She still not back yet huh?" she asked him.
He turned to look at her. "No not yet. Kagome will be back soon though. I'm sure of it." he said
in reply.
"Of course she will. She's not about to leave us don't worry about it Souta."
"Where would she leave to?" he asked sadly. "He left her to die she has no more reason to go
back."
"I am sorry Souta. I know how much you looked up to him." a quiet voice said behind him.
"You're back nee-chan"(is that correct? I think that's how you say sister or big sister or
something of the sort oh well I'll just use sister from now on until someone can tell me
otherwise.) he said giving her a hug.
"Of course silly. You know I always come back." she said grinning at him.
"Not always." he murmured more to himself but she seemed to hear him still. She stiffened
slightly and he moved back horror in his eyes. "I'm so sorry. I didn't mean it that way Kagome."
"That's ok Souta." she said quietly. "I think I'm going back to bed. Today didn't go as well as I
had hoped it would." She walked past her mother and little brother her figure clad all in black.
They watched her apprehensively as she walked out of their sight.
"She's changed a lot hasn't she Souta?" his mom asked him.
"Yes she has. I don't know if it's a good thing or not." he paused. "Mom she isn't as happy as
she used to be. She's more secretive then ever and she's like a shadow now. She disappears a
lot at night and is more quiet then usual. She's a much more skilled fighter now but she is only a
mere shadow of what she used to be."
"She's been through a lot." she said in reply. "That may have been the most hurtful thing that ever
happened to her. She gave up a lot to be with him."
"That jerk." Souta growled. "I can't believe he did that to her." he said sadly thinking of his hero
thinking back to when his sister had come back the last time.
*flashback*
He was playing one of his video games, his mom in the kitchen baking something or another for
supper. Grandpa was outside at the time cleaning in the shrine.
The back door crashed open and Grandpa came crashing in with a wild look on his face. He
could tell something was wrong. He put down his game and hurried over to his mom and
grandpa who were talking to each other.
She paled visibly and he held her hand.
"Can you feel it?" grandpa asked
"Something is happening to her." his mother said in reply. Her face blanched. "The well." she
yelled and ran to the shrine.
She threw open the door with grandpa and him behind trying to figure out what was going on.
He was about to open his mouth to ask when his question was answered.
On the floor of the well Kagome sat huddled up hugging her knees to herself. She was covered
in scratches and was a bloody mess. Her once long silky hair was in clumps and dull. Her
clothes were barely on her anymore they were more like rags. Looking closer at her he could
see her holding something. It was a sword.
His eyes opened in realization. It was Inuyasha's sword. The tetsuiga. Where was his hero? he
thought looking around frantically. But there was no Inuyasha in sight. He wasn't there.
Then why did she have his sword? What had happened?
His grandpa laid a blanket around her which she pulled tightly against her. She stood up
carefully wobbling a bit. She looked at their mother tears forming in her eyes. She took a step
forward and tumbled.
Their mother caught her and hugged her to herself as the girl burst into tears. She began to
whisper something over and over. Eyes widened in questioning she moved closer to hear her
daughter thinking something had happened to Inuyasha as she had noticed she held the sword
that he always carried with him.
Her words answered everything. "He betrayed me......left me to die.....try to........kill me"
She then fainted from exhaustion in her mom's arms. His mom looked at him and he looked
back at her. "What did she say mom?" he asked quietly.
Her face was pale with grief for her daughter and anger at the one she thought cared about her
daughter. "I....She..." she tried to say
"He betrayed her Souta. He tried to kill her." grandpa said.
Souta looked at him almost forgetting he was there. "He wouldn't. He's supposed to protect
her. Why?" he cried out. His grandpa had tried to give him comfort as best he could while his
mother just sat their holding her unconscious daughter in her arms.
"Let's take this into the house." grandpa suggested. "We're all tired and worried. We'll get
Kagome to bed and talk about this some more later."
And they did get Kagome to bed and they did talk about it later. As far as Souta was
concerned though while his sister didn't seem to hold any grudge toward Inuyasha he hated him
and didn't think he deserved his sisters forgiveness. She never seemed to hate him even after
that. She seemed only hurt by his actions, but she would live she was a strong girl.
*end of flashback*
"I better get going to school. Bye mom." Souta said grabbing his bag as he walked off.
Walking to the end of the driveway he added quietly. "Bye Kagome. I will protect you from
getting hurt like that again."
*change of pov to the spirit world where our favorite spirit detectives are*
"How could you do that?" Koenma practically shouted. "I can't believe this. You attacked her."
"We don't need her anyways." Yusuke said in defense. "I don't know what's wrong with you
toddler. She did survive it. Besides she doesn't affect this case. Does she? I mean you know the
information."
"No I don't know the information. She came to me on her own to give me a warning about the
jewel. When she told me the dangers of it, and it took me forever to get her to agree to meeting
you guys. Now I don't think she would even give a second thought to killing you if she sees you
again."
"You've got to be kidding me. Then track her down. You must at least know her name."
Koenma only shook his head sadly. "You don't even know that? She really is mistrusting."
"I don't think it's that. It's more something she's worried about. From the clues she gave me I
think it has to do with someone finding her and she doesn't want that to happen."
"Did you every try to send demons to track her down? If they have her scent they can find her."
"We tried that but found out she knows how to mask her scent. So then we tried to follow her
but she goes into crowded areas making it hard to follow her or dark alleys and escapes into the
shadows."
"She's good." Kurama said. "She said you know of her history. Anything you can tell us?"
"She said I know her background history. It isn't much but she is a miko. One of very few left in
this world. From what she told me she learned how to fight along time ago from a bunch of
friends she used to hang around with. One of them ended up betraying her. She lost a lot that
day and that is why she doesn't trust that many people."
"She claims to be a fighter, but have you seen her in action?" Yusuke asked.
"Actually I have. When she made the comment of being a fighter a bunch of the demons laughed
at her and the next thing I know they are on the ground unconscious. We were short thirty some
workers that day." Koenma said with awe in his voice.
"Maybe she would be a match for that girl we saw at the park today." Kuwabara said.
"What girl?" Botan asked
"Well when we were going through the park we came across a fight it appears a gang decided
to pick a fight with this girl or it might be the other way around. Anyways she was very fast in
dispensing of them." Kurama said.
"Yeah I still think she might be Hiei's long lost twin or something like that. She was about as
cold as him." Yusuke said with a small chuckle earning a glare from Hiei.
"Well whatever the case I doubt I'll be hearing from our source for along time to come thanks to
you Yusuke."
"What do we do now?" Botan asked.
"Nothing."
"What do you mean nothing? I thought you said these things are just as dangerous as the whole
jewel." Yusuke yelled.
"They are but our friend let something slip. During a conversation she said we didn't have to
worry yet about them but the affects might be coming soon such as demons roaming wild all of a
sudden. She more or less said this TIME won't be affected for awhile."
"What does that mean?" Kuwabara asked
"It means this is all taking place during a different time period you moron." Hiei said
"But where?" Yusuke asked
"To that we'll probably never know." Koenma said.
Yay another chapter done. OK here is what you do now. You go and vote for your favorite
pairings will it be
Kurama/Kagome
Hiei/Kagome
OC/Kagome
You help me choose though I am more or less leaning towards Hiei/Kagome it seems fitting for
this story. so far Hiei is in the lead. if Hiei/Kagome wins or the other way around
Kurama/Kagome wins I will do a story for the pairing that didn't win just for you the reviewers.
I love you all take care and remember to r&r
