7:00 A.M.

We had finally reached a small town out in the north. When we stepped off I looked around and swore that this place seemed familiar.

"I'm going to find us a place to stay. I want you to stay in the park, I'll be back." Inuyasha ordered as I watched him leave.

I walked through the crowd of people and made my way through the small park. Kids ran by me laughing and taunting each other. I couldn't help but smirk. I then turned to face the trees and smiled as the wind blew my hair.

"What a wonderful place. I wonder if Inuyasha...will actually want us to give up our jobs?" I asked myself as I spotted a flash of red in the corner of my eye.

I followed the red cloth that floated in the air and watched on how the wind blew it harshly towards an abandoned house.

Hesitantly I walked towards the house and reached the door on which the red cloth had landed on. Once I reached the doorstep I found out that the thing I was following was gone.

I was stumped by the disappearance of the cloth but ignored it quickly. Looking up I gasped at the sight. This house looked so familiar. My hand firmly gripped the handle and turned it with ease. The house was open so I decided to step inside and take a look around.

It was a gentle house with a warm feeling to it but once I reached the living room my heart started to pound.

"Something's wrong..." I whispered my head spinning.

The room began to spin in circles, colors blending in with each other. And then once they all swirled together everything turned black and I fell to the ground. The last thing I saw was white chalk that tainted the hard wood floor.

It had been a hard day for mother and father. It seemed that the "thing" that they feared was after them again. They never seemed to tell me who the "thing" was or what it was but I paid no attention to it. I sat there with my be-be gun by my side and looked out at the white fence in front of me. On it were several soda cans with many holes in them.

"It seems my little girl is getting better each day." My father spoke walking towards me.

"Of course father. I have to be as good as you, no matter what!" I laughed as he patted my head with pride.

"Now let's go inside, mother wants you to eat already." He softly ordered leading me towards the house.

"It's about time you guys came, I thought I was going to have to eat all this food by myself." Mother laughed placing the plates on the table.

"You know us better than that mother, I would never let your good cooking go to waste." I laughed.

"Same here." Father spoke taking a seat.

Dinner went well until they ordered me to go take a bath. "I'm practically 13 already, I should be able to make my own decisions!" I whined while marching up the steps.

"Not while your under my roof!" Father laughed.

My bath was no different but when I was changing I heard a shuffle downstairs and several gun shots. It seemed that I had missed something since I was in the shower. With a quick whimper I ran to my fathers room and broke the glass to his locked gun case. I grasped the nearest gun there was and ran downstairs ready to fire at anything.

When I reached the bottom of the steps tears instantly rolled down my face. There on the floor were my parents who laid on the ground dying. The man that had committed the deed was already gone.

"Father! Mother!" I shouted running towards them. It seemed that they had been bleeding non-stop and by gushes. I was no doctor, but even a 13 year old could tell that they were not going to make it.

When my father grunted in pain I ran towards the phone and prepared to call the hospital.

"Don't bother...call the police...it's too late for us..." Father spoke as mother agreed with his statement.

"Nonsense! You all are invincible! You can make this!" I cried.

Mother let out a scream while holding on to her stomach and shoulder.

"Lord just take me now!" She screamed tears filling her eyes.

"My daughter come here..." Father spoke as I crawled to them.

"Shoot us, put us out of our misery...I know for a fact that we won't make it. Now please do me a favor and end our pain."

"No!" I shouted backing away from them.

"You will not disobey! You have been raised to never disobey your parents, now do as your father told you! I'd rather die by my daughters hands then by that thing!" My mother cried looking towards me with the saddest eyes ever.

So I did what I was told and I crawled towards the gun that I had dropped due to shock. I stood up and looked at my parents with a dead stare.

"Don't look at us that way! Put on your smile..." Father whispered blood oozing out of his mouth.

So I did what I was told once again and I smiled.

I then held the pistol in my small hands and held it to my fathers head.

"Daughter, would you please do it at the same time. Grab the pistol to your father's right..." My mother whispered.

I gathered the pistol and watched my parents.

"If you lasted this long you can surely make it!" I shouted my hands shaking.

"It has only been 4 minutes... we will...not make the...rest..." Father whispered.

So I smiled once again and looked at them both.

"I love you..." I whispered as they stated the same thing. A second later I let my fingers pull the trigger and two shots were heard.

My parents died...both with a smile placed on their faces.

The next day came quickly as the police men found me asleep in the blood of my dead parents with the two pistols at my side.

I was now at the station with a women in front of me questioning me.

"What happened?" She asked.

"Someone broke into the house while I was taking a bath and shot my parents."

"And did they die right away, it seems that they had wounds that came before the shot to the head. Did you see anyone who did it?"

"When I entered the living room I saw them suffering. I saw the shots that the "thing" had done to them. So I wanted to call the hospital."

The woman nodded and took some notes.

"And why didn't you call the hospital?" She asked.

"Because, my father told me not to. He told me to call the police."

"And did you do that?"

I shook my head.

"What happened next?"

I looked up at her and frowned.

"I followed my parents orders."

"Which was what?" She asked looking at me curiously.

I picked my hands up and stared at them while they began shaking violently.

"I shot them..." I whispered.

The lady dropped her pen once she heard me say those words.

"What?"

I stared at her as tears streamed down my face.

"I never disobey my parents..."

The lady quickly scribbled down some more and finished the papers.

"Now young lady...please sign your name down here so I could show that what is written here you agree to."

I looked at the paper and grabbed the black pen. I placed the point on the white sheet and waited there for a few minutes. When I was ready I printed my name in big letters, Kagome Higurashi.

I had no clue on why my parents told me to kill them...I had no clue why I did it. Why did I listen...something was wrong. Wrong with me and wrong with them. Something was there or something was not...but I couldn't figure it out. I couldn't...

✯✯✯✯✯✯✯✯✯✯✯✯✯

"Kagome, Kagome wake up!" Inuyasha shouted shaking me violently. I opened my eyes and met his cold stare, which melted once he saw my smile.

"Hey Inuyasha. What happened?" I asked looking around. "Where are we?"

Inuyasha chuckled and placed a wet towel on my forehead. "We're at the hotel I found. When I went to get you, you weren't there so I asked around for you. People said they saw you running after a cap, and the old couple down that street saw you run into an abandoned house. And when I came in I saw you here on the floor knocked out. What on earth were you doing!" He shouted.

I put my head down and shook my head. "Honestly, I have no clue."

"No clue! That is so typical of you! Kagome...I thought something had happened to you, we are on the run. You can't be doing things like this." He whispered hugging my body close.

I only nodded and placed the covers off of my body.

"Inuyasha? This place...this town seems so familiar..." I whispered.

"Your just a little scared that's all...just don't go anywhere without me anymore. You'll worry me..." He stated letting go of me and walking into the bathroom.

I heard the water running and figured that he was going to take a long hot bath. So I got up and walked over to the window with the curtains drawn shut. I poked my finger through an opening and peeked through the small hole that I created. I saw a small town that seemed so, so happy. Too happy...and too...too...familiar...
