The one called lucky
Chapter three: Walking with a ghost
A pain goes through my torso as I am thrown into the air. Then everything goes black.
I suddenly see a bright light, it looks white. Maybe I'm dead. My head is throbbing. Is stretch out a wobbly hand in front of me, I feel something. I poke at it. Something swats my hand away.
"Nnn." I try to move my head but it's too heavy.
My body is lifted off the ground. I still can't open my eyes. I hear someone speak.
"I can't believe this, it's my entire fault!" The voice then turns into muffled sobbing. I really want open my eyes now. But all I can do is listen to everything around me.
"We have to bring her to a hospital!" Who ever is carrying me started to walk off toward somewhere.
"No! You can't!" Someone calls out.
"Why not, she could die any second." The one who's carrying me stops.
"Inuyasha listen to me! We just can't go, ok! None of us want Kagome to die, but we just can't go!"
"Tell me Sango; tell me why she can't go to hospital!" Some one screams.
"Because we are being hunted down! Just bring her where I want, and she will ok." Some yelled back.
"Ok, just tell me where." The one who was holding me started to walk again.
"Could I come?" I hear someone ask.
"Why?"
"It's my fault she's hurt, I want see if she gets better."
"Whatever, juts don't get in the way."
I'm laid down on something soft. I then hear the sound of a car engine starting. Everything then goes black.
I can hear something, it's talking or more like telling the weather report. I turn my head to the side, I slightly open my eyes, only to see a mob oh red hair. I blink, I realize it's the back of someone head. Sango's stuffing herself with popcorn; she sits crossed-legged on the carpeted floor a little further away from me. Something wet is on my forehead. Taking it of, it's just a washcloth.
"Are you awake Kagome?" Looking over my shoulder I realize its Rin.
"Uhm yah…" I put the washcloth back onto my forehead.
The person in front of me quickly turns her head toward me. She has a smile on her face, but looks sad. It's Ayame.
Sango walks toward me and sits at the end of the couch I'm lying on.
"Are you ok?" She asks.
"Yah, it just feels as if I had a long nap." I say closing my eyes.
"Do you remember the car hitting you?" I hear Rin ask.
"Not much." Everyone then goes silent. All you could hear is the news lady talking about possible snow. Rin then breaks the silence.
"I'll go heat up some pizza." She said as she walked off toward her kitchen.
"Thank you for saving my life." Ayame says as she pushes a strand of hair away from her face. I juts smile back at her.
"So, Ayame met Rin and we think that we might all be sleeping over tonight." Sango said as she took a sip of water from a green plastic cup. "… and then we booth think that we should all travel together."
I just stare at her in disbelief. The last time I remember, she hated Ayame.
"What are you guys watching?" I ask as I slowly sit up. My head some how feels much lighter than before.
"For now it's the news, but later on maybe The Breakfast Club." Sango says while she rolls off the couch. I go and sit between Sango and Ayame.
"Are you feeling any better?" Ayame asks.
"Uhm, yah. I guess so." Sango takes another sip of water. "I must have the flu."
"What happened?" I ask worried.
"When we arrived at the apartment Sango started to throw up like so much, it was crazy." Ayame says while waving her hands in the air. "It was like when my mother was one month pregnant; she would throw up about everyday."
Rin barged in the living room; a metallic pan was balancing on her right hand, and a jug of water in her left hand. "Hot! Hot!" She put the pan on the floor.
"Pizza!" Ayame screamed in delight. She took a piece and shoved it in her mouth. I laugh. She looks funny.
Ayame started to play a song; she was using my acoustic guitar. I sat on a bench listening to her. Crisp snow lay on the ground.
Yesterday night, after we watched the movie, Rin gave us each a used winter jacket. Ayame got a green one, Sango's is navy blue and mine is black. A red hat covers my ears. My hands are stuffed into my coat pockets. Today I'm wearing a pear of ripped jeans, and a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles t-shirt. It used to belong to Sota. But now it's mine.
Ayame sang
No matter which way you go
No
matter which way you stay
You're out of my mind, out of my
mind
Out of my mind, out of my mind
I was walking with a
ghost
I said please, please don't insist
I was walking with a
ghost
I said please, please don't insist
I brought my legs to my chest. Putting my head down, I closed my eyes. All I could hear was Ayame singing. Pushing a strand of hair out of my face, I look back up at her. The song slowly goes to an end. I clap as I stand up. She bows down, and then puts the guitar away. I walk towards her.
"That was great!" We walk down the park path.
"Thanks, it has been a while sins I played the guitar, I was kind of rusty." She says as she swung her arms back and forth. "I have to go and meet Koga now."
"Who's Koga?"
"My boyfriend."
"I'm like the only one who is single in this world." I ask out loud.
Ayame laughs. "Well I heard Inuyasha is single."
"Inuyasha?"
"Yah, he's this guy who carried you to Rin's apartment."
"Anything else you could tell me about?" I ask interested.
"First of all, his hair is dyed silver but looks white, he's the average height, and he has a bad temper sometime, but can be really sweet."
"Anything else?" I ask.
"He doesn't live on the street and he's friends with Miroku and Koga." She says. "No get out of my way, I have to see my man."
"Pushy aren't we." I say as I move out of her way.
"I haven't seen him for two days, of cause I'm." Before she leaves she gives me a salute, then runs off. I wait until she disappears out of my sight before I drop my skateboard onto the ground. Pushing off, I easily go across the street. No one is outside. It's a Wednesday, and 2:34pm to be exact. There are usually not that many people walking down the street at this time of the day. I continue to glide town the cement ground. The city cleaned the sidewalks and street from snow.
Sango is going to go see Miroku today, so I'm all by myself for today. Stopping, I make the board flip up, grabbing it, I push a door open. The floors are tiled black and white. I go to the back and take a water bottle from a shelf; I then look through the junk food shelves. I arrive close to the cash, picking up a magazine, I flip through. There's just junk about people. Putting it back, I drop my water bottle on the counter letting it roll. I search in my pocket for some money.
"And how would you like to pay, cash or plastic?" I look up; the cashier guy looks really bored. He has a par of ear phones on. He's not even looking at me, but at the clock. He has white hair. It's that guy, Inuyasha Ayame was talking about. I tilt my head to the side. Waiting for him to look at me, I drum my finger against the counter. He turns his head toward me. He looks surprised; he puts his earphones around his neck.
He leans in forward. "So I see you are much better."
"Well I'm not dead, so yah." I give out my hand to him. "My name is Kagome, and yours I presume is Inuyasha."
"Correct."
"You work here?" I say while pushing the bottle back in forth in my hands.
"Part time." He corrects me.
"So where do live?"
"Close to here, downtown."
"With your parents?"
"Mother, I never got to see my dad." Some old lady walked into the store.
"I'm sorry."
"It's not your fault; he passed away a long time ago." I nod my head.
"You like the Teenage Ninja Turtles?" He asks pointing to my shirt. I look down, realizing that my coat was partly open.
"Oh no, it's my brother he passed away, it's like a memory of him for me." I say as I look back up at him.
He smiles while nodding his head.
"Hey Inuyasha stop flirting, someone wants to actually buy something!" I could hear some call out from a door; I turn my head away I think I'm blushing.
"I'll see you later." I hear Inuyasha say, before leaving I look back, the old woman is smiling at us. I want to run away.
I wave to him, as I step back outside; I the cold wind hit me directly in the face. I lean in forward walking against the wind. My skateboards tucked underneath my arm, I then realize that I still have the water bottle in my hand, I forgot to pay. I guess I could pay him later. Opening the bottle, I take a large sip from it. Inuyasha is actually pretty nice. At least for now. Putting the cap back on, I walk into a fast food restaurant. Sango is sitting at the far end of the room with Miroku and Ayame. I wave to them and the go and sit down with them.
I finished it! Not the story, the chapter. I'm sorry if I didn't update as quickly as I wanted to, but many things have been happening, first of all I got shock by a computer at school, it's freezing cold here in Canada I saw frost on the windows this morning, on my buss pass I'm laughing and nearly fell of the stool, I ran into a pole, I got my hair stuck in someone's zipper, my seven year old cousin beat me at dominos, I had to singe a song from Princess and The Popper with my cousin for an hour in the metro and to make it worse it's from a Barbie movie which she made me watch two times. I wanted to jump off a cliff that day.
