Talking or Storyline

((Kagome's POV))

I sat on the bus and sighed heavily.

This is so boring.

I blew a strand of hair that had fallen into my face.

The man sitting next to me groaned in his sleep and I pressed against the window further.

I pulled out the laptop I had shoved in my bag at the last minute and turned it on.

The anarchy background popped up and then I clicked on Internet and typed in the website name. ((This is probably not a real website, I know IM not trying it))

I scrolled down to the P's and clicked on Prep Bashing.

SlayerofPlayer was still online and greeted me with all caps.

SlayerofPlayer: HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYYY PK! WUSSUP?

XxXPinkKillerXxX: X1 nuthin…im on a bus rite now…headed for where ever it takes me.

SlayerofPlayer: really? Do u like not have a home or sumthin?

Player623: Hey ladies

SlayerofPlayer: -.- y did u get on I thought u were to busy eating…

Player623: I decided that I should get on and talk 2 the coolest grl in the hole wide universe

XxXPinkKillerXxX: okay then, where does that leave me?

Player623: I dunno…r u hawt?

XxXPinkKillerXxX: Wut kinda question is that?

The bus pulled to a screeching halt at the stop and I turned off the laptop.

I shoved it back in the bag and stood, climbing over the fat man sitting next to me who continued to sleep as the driver walked up and down the isle making people get off.

"Come on people, I have a school route to do!" He exclaimed at the passengers.

Just as I was stepping off the bus, the driver had begun to poke the still sleeping man.

I walked down the sidewalk and felt my stomach growl, aching for food.

I looked further down the road and saw a Wacdonald's sitting on the next corner.

I rush to get there, hoping I had remembered to shove money in this heavy bag of mine.

Once I entered the fast food restaurant, I noticed every table empty except one, which was occupied in the back corner by a group of teenagers that looked my age.

I took the table 2 seats away from them and then began to dig through my bag.

I pulled out the laptop and set it on the table in front of me. I pulled out a pair of jeans and searched the pockets.

No money?

I sighed and pulled open the smaller pocket on the bag to find my secret stash of money that I had in my room.

I pulled out the wad of 20's and 10's and twitched and quick smile on my face before returning to my emotionless expression.

I glanced at the group of people 2 tables away as I pushed all of my things back into the bag.

They glanced at me and the only girl in the group smiled and waved but turned back to the conversation quickly.

"May I help you?" Asked the boy behind the counter.

"Oh, yes, I would like…" I ordered and then sat back at the table, setting the bag on the floor after pulling the laptop out again.

I signed on to the chat room and frowned at the empty white square that didn't have a word on it except XxXPinkKillerXxX has signed on.

I was about to log out when one of the boys at the table looked at me and gasped.

"I just remembered that I have my laptop!" He said loudly before reaching down for a dark purple book bag that sat on the floor.

"Duh, we all have one. It's required for the school we go to." The girl shook her head and reached for her bright green bag.

The other boy scoffed and turned to look out the window.

I turned back to my computer as it made a beeping noise into the headphones.

Player623 has signed on.

Player623: Hey Pk…how's it goin?

XxXPinkKillerXxX: well i'm finally off the bus.

BadBoi101 has signed on.

BadBoi101: what bus?

SlayerofPlayer: well Pk got on a bus and was headed to who knows where.

Player623: do u know where you are?

XxXPinkKillerXxX: oops... looks like my hunger got the best of me.

BadBoi101: where r u eating?

XxXPinkKillerXxX: wacdonalds

Then it hit me like a ton of bricks. Could it be them? No impossible… I look up from my laptop to the group of teens. There were only three of them. A girl and two boys. I quickly get up and head to the cashier.

"What city is this?" I ask him.

"This is Kyoto," He replied. I walk back over to my table and look at the screen.

Player623: what a coincidence so are we.

XxXPinkKillerXxX: well its been fun I gotta go for now bye.

XxXPinkKillerXxX has signed off.

I pack my stuff back in my backpack and rush out the door. On my way out I glanced at the three teens staring at their laptop screens. They all closed their computers and looked at each other.

I walked outside and looked around at my surroundings. I heard the teens come out behind me and I started to walk but, before I even got a few feet away I heard a yell and a SLAP! I turn to see the teen with the purple stuff on the ground with a dazed expression on his face. The girl was standing over him with a clenched fist with a look of murder written on her face.

The other boy however was just standing next to the two of them sighing and shaking his head. He stopped and looked up at me. I quickly turned around and kept walking down the street. I could hear footsteps as the boy obviously wanted to get away from his friends. He tapped my shoulder and I turned around to come face to face with a pair of golden yellow eyes.

He smiled and stood back a little bit.

"Hey! I'm Inuyasha. What's your name?" He Asked.

"Kagome," I said.

"Are you new here? I've never seen you around here before." He said.

"Y-yeah I guess you could say I'm new." I replied. I turned and kept walking down the street only to find the boy persistently walking beside me.

"Where are you from?" He asked.

"Tokyo" I replied.

"Really!" He exclaimed. "I know someone who lives in Tokyo… well used to."

"Where are they now," I asked trying to sound interested.

"Well, she doesn't really know where she is only that she was at a WacDonalds."

"Inuyasha!" Someone yelled.

We turned around to see the two other teens running toward us.

Without thinking I turned and ran. Inuyasha was obviously not expecting this and was calling at me to come back but I was already to far away. I sped around a corner and stopped my back against a wall with my hands on my knees. I slid to the ground as I tried to catch my breath. I opened my eyes to a very strange place.

This wasn't like where I was before. This place was duller and just flat out creepy. I stood about and was about to leave when a hand grabbed my arm and spun me around. I was pulled into a man that was rather tall and had long black hair.

"What's a pretty young girl doing all alone in a place like this?" He whispered in my ear. I felt chills go down my back and I didn't answer. I tried to pull my arm away but the man held on tight. I felt fear arise inside me as I began to pull harder.

The man slid his other arm around my waist to keep me from escaping. I opened my mouth to scream but he took this chance to kiss me on the lips. I pushed him away coughing trying to keep him off of me. He snickered and started to drag me away into a nearby car. Just when he was opening the door someone yelled from behind us and he turned around. Someone punched him in the face and he dropped me to the floor.

I closed my eyes as I quickly backed away as far as I could get. I felt someone pick me up and carry me away. After a minute or so they placed me on a bench and I opened my eyes. I started to shake as I looked at Inuyasha.

The girl was sitting next to, pulling off her jacket. She draped it over my shoulders and asked,

"Are you Ok?" I merely looked down and nodded. Inuyasha kneeled down in front of me and looked into my eyes.

"Where do you live?" He asked sternly. I looked away and stared into a nearby store. He didn't budge and I really didn't feel like answering him.

He sighed and stood up. The girl also stood up and teens started whispering, nodding and shaking their heads about some of the comments.

Then after their discussion Inuyasha Took his cell phone out of his pocket and dialed a number. He put the phone to his ear and talked to someone.

After he was done he sat on the bench next to me and sat back,

"I'm going to take you to my house until you can find a place of your own." He said. I looked at him and opened my mouth to speak but closed it and nodded. I sat back and closed my eyes.

Before I knew it I fad fallen into a deep sleep.

((In Dream))

I sat up on the bench and realized I had fallen asleep. Inuyasha and the others had left and my stuff was nowhere to be found.

I stood up and started walking back towards the WacDonalds not really knowing where to go. Then I heard a cough from behind me.

The man from before was standing behind me with an evil grin on his face. I tried to back up but I couldn't move.

He came up to me and slapped me in the face.

I fell to the ground with a THUD and looked up at him. My cheek was stinging and I could feel a trail of blood run down my cheek. He picked me up by my throat and started to squeeze.

Suddenly, I fell into darkness.

((End Of Dream))

I shot up with a bolt, sweat all over my body.

I raised my hand to my cheek and looked at it. There was blood on my fingertips and I gasped. Then I realized I wasn't on the side of the street but in a bed.

I got up and walked to the door of the room. I quietly opened the door to find a hallway. I walked out and started to walk to my left. I looked at the assortment of doors when I hit something soft. I hit the floor and looked up.

I had run into a man but he didn't really look… human.

'Inuyasha?' I thought.

'No it can't be Inuyasha doesn't look like this.

The man had long silver hair and two streaks on his cheeks, but the most interesting thing about him was the crescent moon on his forehead.

"Sorry" I mumbled as I got up not really meaning it. When I was on my feet I felt a hand slap me across the face.

I felt more blood drip down my cheek as I looked at the man.

"Don't you ever touch me again you filthy human or I'll slit your throat," He threatened. He walked away and I just stood there not knowing what to do next. I felt the blood on my face but didn't bother to wipe it away.

"Kagome!" I heard someone yell. I turned around to see Inuyasha jogging toward me.

"What happened?" He asked.

For a second I couldn't respond but finally I managed to say,

"I woke up and came out I was walking down the hall and bumped into someone. I apologized but he slapped me and walked off."

"Well come downstairs and we can get that cut cleaned up." He said as he took my hand and led me downstairs.

We walked downstairs and into the living room where he sat me down and left. I looked around taking in my surroundings.

The overstuffed blood red couches sat diagonal in the room with a matching chair in between them, forming a "V", with a marble coffee table sitting in the middle. Against the opposite wall sat a HUGE screen TV and the rest of the wall was taken up by shelves of movies and CDs. Inuyasha walked back in holding a first-aid kit in his hands. He set the first-aid kit on the table in front of me and sat down.

He opened it and pulled out some kind of yellow liquid and poured it onto a cotton swab.

"This might sting a little," he said. He put it on my cheek and I could feel it sting but I didn't pay any attention to it.

When he was done he pulled out a napkin and wiped the stuff off. He put the stuff back inside and went to take the first-aid kit back. I raised my hand to my cheek only to discover a thin line of where the cut used to be. He came back in and sat down next to me.

"What was that stuff?" I asked.

"It heals wounds my brother made." He replied.

"Why, is it special?" I asked again.

"He's a demon," he said, "but what I don't understand is why your whole didn't go away. The medicine is supposed to heal everything not even leaving a scar."

My eyes widened and I looked down. I started fidgeting with my fingers.

"You know why it didn't heal don't you?" He turned to look at me when he said this.

"Well yes, and no." I said. I looked away thinking of a way to change the subject.

"Where are those two friends of yours from last night?" I asked.

"Sango and Miroku?" He said. "They left last night. It was getting late so they went home."

I nodded and looked out of the room.

I got up and walked back where I came from hoping this would lead me back to the room I was in before.

"Where are you going?" Inuyasha asked. I ignored him and kept walking. I soon found the room and opened the door.

All me stuff was sitting next to a table and I went to sit down. I pulled out my laptop and opened it up. The screen came up and brought me instantly to the chat room.

XxXPinkKillerXxX has signed on.

Player623: hey wats up Pk?

XxXPinkKillerXxX: well I found a place to say for awhile.

SlayerofPlayer: that's great where are you staying?

XxXPinkKillerXxX: youll see me eventually.

Someone knocked and I yelled,

"Come in." The door opened and closed some came up behind me and I was guessing it was Inuyasha.

He came up behind me and whispered,

"Watcha doin?" I quickly closed my screen as someone typed something in and turned around to see Inuyashagrinning.

"N-nothing," I stammered.

"If your not doing anything then why did you just stutter? He asked slyly.

I thought quickly for a response and said,

"I was just surprised to see you that's all." I smiled a quick fake smile hoping he would buy it. He didn't look totally convinced but he just turned around and left.

I opened my computer to see the chat still going on.

SlayerofPlayer: wat was that about Pk?

XxXPinkKillerXxX: the guy im staying with just kinda walked in so I turned the screen off.

Player623: oooo your stayin with a guy? Whats his name?

XxXPinkKillerXxX: uhhh…. Welll…..

SlayerofPlayer: don't tell me you don't even know his name

XxXPinkKillerXxX: no I do its just…

Player623: well tell us already!

XxXPinkKillerXxX: I gotta go ill talk to you guys l8er.

XxXPinkKillerXxX has signed off.

Player623: That was weird

SlayerofPlayer: think shes hidin something from us?

Player623: I dunno maybe

I closed the screen and sighed.

"That was a close one," I said aloud.

"What was a close one?" Someone asked from behind.

"AAH!" I yelled and someone spun me around in my chair.

Inuyasha was there smiling and obviously trying to hold back a smile.

I frowned and looked at him,

"Don't do that!" I yelled at him.

"Sorry," He said, "I didn't know you were so sensitive." I grabbed my CD player and told him to leave.

"I'm not sensitive." I whispered through gritted teeth.

I went over to the door leading to the balcony and walked out. I was on the top floor so I climbed onto the roof and sat down.

I played my CD player and Panic! At The Disco started playing.

I closed my eyes and smiled. They probably wouldn't find me for awhile and I could have some space until they did.

I opened my eyes and looked at the sky. The sun was setting and the sky turned into a pinkish purplish color.

I could see a car pull into the driveway and two people get out and run inside.

When I heard the door open someone started yelling and then door closed with a BANG! I started to snicker as I could hear people running and yelling below me.

I turned around so I was lying on my stomach and looked into the dark crimson sky. I could hear the door to the room I was staying in open and people walk in. I stood up and quietly walked to the other side of the roof and sat down.

I could hear Inuyasha walk onto the balcony then go back inside to talk to the other people in the room. I turned my music up to drown out their voices and closed my eyes. They began to feel heavy but I stayed awake wanting to know what they were going to do about me being "missing."

I knew they would eventually find me because Inuyasha would probably go to his brother to help him, and since his brother is a demon he could find me in a heartbeat. I felt someone jump on the roof but I chose to ignore it.

The person walked toward me and stopped right behind me. They walked around and sat next to me. I opened an eye not expecting to see who was sitting next to me. I closed my eye and said to myself,

'Didn't expect to see his brother here. I thought he would hate me because e I was a filthy human.' I got up and walked back to the edge of the roof. I jumped down onto the balcony and walked into the room.

Inuyasha was sitting at the desk looking at my computer but I just kept walking. He turned around to face me and said something but I couldn't hear him because my music was so loud. I walked out of the room and down the hallway to the stairs. At the top of the stairs I stopped and watch Inuyasha's friends race up the stairs to me.

I went down the stairs as they tried to get my attention but I ignored them. I opened the front door and stepped out into the night. I walked out of the yard and toward the street. I could hear people running after me so I started to walk a little bit faster.

When I got to the gate separating the house from the street I tried to push and pull it open only to discover it was locked. I looked up to see how high it was and seeing that as my only option I began to climb. It had been awhile since I climbed a gate like this but it wasn't too hard. When I got to the top I turned around to see Inuyasha, his brother, and his friends standing at the edge looking up at me.

Inuyasha crouched down and jumped to the top. I took that as a sign to get down. I quickly bent down, grabbed one of the long poles to the gate, and slid down. When I hit the ground I started sprinting as fast as I could down the street to town.

'They probably think I'm just going to leave and not come back' I thought, 'but all I need is a little space I'll go back after I'm cooled off.' I stopped at the nearest bench and sat down. I looked around to see if I was still being followed and found no one there. I leaned back and looked at the sky. It was dark black and you couldn't really see any stars, a few here and there but not many. I stopped my CD and took my headphones off. Someone sat next to me and I looked up to see Inuyasha staring at me.

"What do you want?" I asked coldly.

"I want to know why you just got up and left in the middle of the night." He replied coolly.

"Well I obviously wanted to be alone since I got on the roof but I guess I cant even have that can I?" I asked. Then I stood up and walked away leaving him on the bench. I strolled along the sidewalk looking at the closing stores wanting somewhere quiet I could go to be alone. I finally saw a park and decided to go for a long walk.

It was a little bit dark but I could pretty well in the dark. I walked on the sidewalk through the park looking at all the little kid toys and scenery. As I was about halfway around I heard someone following me so I began to walk faster. I started to get a little creeped out so I decided to cut my walk short and head back to Inuyasha's house.

I walked out of the park and back the way I came. When I passed the bench I was previously sitting on I saw Inuyasha still sitting there talking to someone on his cell phone. He looked up at me and could tell something was wrong because he closed his cell phone and got up to walk next to me.

"What happened?' He asked, "You look a little scared."

"Nothing," I replied but I started to shake and that totally blew my cover.

He took his jacket off handing it out to me but I refused it.

He stopped for a second to walk behind me and draped it over my shoulders. He sped up to be walking next to me again and we walked back to his house in silence.

When we got there he went up to a small box on the wall next to the gate and started talking into it.

Suddenly the gates opened and we both walked up to the house. Sango and Miroku were standing just outside the door. We went up and they both greeted us.

I merely looked up and kept walking. I jogged up the stairs to the room and walked in and closed the door. I went over to my bag and pulled out my black anarchy and black pants. I put them on and crawled into the bed. I lied there for about ten minutes before falling into a dreamless sleep. When I woke up sunlight was pouring in from the balcony. I sat up and stretched looking around the room. I saw a bathroom and got up to take a shower. I grabbed some clothes and locked the door.

I turned the warm water on and got undressed. I stepped into the shower and let the warm water run down my skin. I washed my hair and body then got out. I dried myself off and put a black shirt that had an anarchy sign and a pair of black cargo pants. I pulled out a pair of my black adios and put them on.

I walked out of my room and shut the door. I walked down the hallway and leapt down the stairs. I looked around to find that no one was up yet. I found a clock that read 8:30.

'No wonder no ones up,' I said to myself. My stomach growled and I looked around in search of the kitchen. I finally found it and went in and took in my surroundings. The polished black counters lined the walls except for a large space in the back where the refrigerator and cupboard spread out. The oven sat in the middle with island counters around it.

I went over to the cupboard and pulled out a box of Cocoa Kripies and went over to the fridge and got the milk. When I was about halfway done Inuyasha walked in with a tired expression on his face.

He walked over to the cupboard and looked inside it. He couldn't find what he was looking for and closed it. Then he walked over to the fridge and didn't find what he was looking for there either.

Just as I was taking a bite of my cereal he turned around.

"AAAYYEEE!" He yelled.

I swallowed and looked up at him.

"What?" I asked. He looked at me while clutching his heart.

"Jesus! You almost gave me a heart attack." He said. I ate the rest of my cereal and walked to the sink and rinsed out my bowl.

When I turned back to the table Inuyasha was sitting there pouring cereal and milk into his bowl. I went back up to my room and into the bathroom to brush my teeth.

When I was done and went back down Sango and Miroku were in the kitchen talking to Inuyasha.

I walked in and sat down next to Sango and across from Inuyasha.

"Are you going to come to school with us today?" Sango asked. I shrugged and looked at her.

"I'm not registered here yet." I replied.

"Well that's ok," She said, "We have an hour before school starts. We can get you registered."

"Ok whatever." I replied, and with that we all got up and left for school.

When we got there Sango took me straight. There she took me through the whole registry process and got me a scheduale.

We left with fifteen minutes left and Sango looked over my schedule.

"You have the same schedule as Inuyasha!" She exclaimed. I took it from her and looked it over.
