Escaping Death

Chapter Two


Kagome stared at the screen, at the instant message. 'This dude is a stalker!' She thought in fear, clicking the button with an 'X' on it to get rid of the IM box. She lifted up Sango's and typed a message.

Miko17: That was weird.

Slayer258: What was weird?

Miko17: Some dude just instant messaged me. He said that he knew me and that he wanted me.

Slayer258: That is weird. Did you ask him who he was?

Miko17: Yeah, but he wouldn't tell me. He told me that I seen him before, plenty of times. He told me that I knew him. I even went down a list of the people I thought he was, but he said that he wasn't them every time.

Slayer258: That's sick. I wonder who it is.

Miko17: Me, too. I'll avoid whoever it is for the rest of my life if I ever figure out who it is.

Slayer258: I don't blame you.

Kagome lowered Sango's instant message box and sighed before glancing at her clock that sat on her dresser. It was almost eight o'clock. Her mom should've been home from work by then, but maybe she was running a little late. And Souta was on a field trip and wouldn't be back until the weekend. Her grandpa had gone along with Souta's class.

The sound of an instant message popping up made her look back at the screen, somewhat reluctantly.

Death986: I said that I wanted you.

Miko17: I know what you said. I don't care, though.

Death986: You should care.

Miko17: Why? You're just threatening me over the Internet! I could block you.

Death986: But you can't stop me from getting inside your house. By the way, I am standing on your front porch with my laptop.

Miko17: You're lying!

Death986: Now why would I be lying? I'm coming for you, Kagome.You better watch out.

Miko17: You're just trying to scare me! I'm not buying it.

Death986: I would, if I were you. I'm touching the doorknob. Oh, what's this?

Miko17: What?

Death986: You left the door unlocked.

Kagome gulped and lowered the IM box before lifting Sango's up. She typed frantically on her keyboard. She typed so hard and fast it was a wonder that she did not break her keys.

Miko17: You've got to help me! Please, come over to my house, right now!

Slayer258: Why? What's wrong?

Miko17: Just hurry! Please, he's coming through my front door!

Slayer258: Ok, hold on, Kagome.

Kagome stood up and turned toward her bedroom door. 'I don't have much time! He could walk right through that doorway any minute.'

She timidly walked up to her door, silently praying that no one would jump out and get her, and shut the door before locking it. She stared at it for a moment, scared out of her mind.

Without warning, lightning struck, causing loud, sharp thunder to follow after it. She jumped and covered her mouth to keep herself from screaming. Her heart was up in her throat, pounding hard.

Suddenly, she realized that she was putting Sango in danger by making her come to her house. There was a thunderstorm outside, not to mention a psychotic stalker.

She raced over to her computer and minimized Sango's IM box and lifted up Inuyasha's.

Miko17: Come over to my house.

Numbah1Dog: What? Are you crazy? There's a thunderstorm outside and it's getting late!

Miko17: What do you care? Someone is trying to break into my house! Just help me out, all right? Please!

Numbah1Dog: Fine. I'll be there in a minute.

Kagome sighed with relief, knowing that Inuyasha was coming. He could fight and was really strong. She knew that he could anyone's butt…almost, anyway.

She stood up and paced nervously around her room for about ten minutes, and then she stopped and glanced out the window at the rain and lightning. It was really dark outside, except for when lightning flashed, illuminating all there was to see.

The pounding on her door made her jump and look at it fearfully. Any intruder would have just tried to barge in and would not have knocked. She took a few reluctant steps forward, her heart trying to beat its way out of her chest. She extended a shaking hand toward the knob and unlocked it before turning and opening the door.

Sango and Inuyasha stood there, wet, and confused.

Kagome relaxed when she seen that it was just her friends.

"I thought," Inuyasha said, sounding annoyed as he went into her room, "someone was breaking into your house. No one was there when we got here."

"It's true." Sango said. "We got here at the same time and no one was around. We looked everywhere outside and inside. No one was there."

Inuyasha snorted. "She was probably lying about the whole thing. She was probably just scared of the storm and wanted us to come over here with her to keep her company."

"That's not true!" Kagome shouted. "Look at the instant messages he sent me!" She went to her computer and lifted the IM box up and showed them their conversation.

Sango just stared at it in dumbfounded horror while Inuyasha went up to get a better look. "It's just someone playing a trick on you. Don't worry about it." He said carelessly.

Kagome stared at the instant message for a moment. Inuyasha turned and was about to leave, but Kagome demanded, "Was my front door unlocked?"

Inuyasha stopped and turned to face her. She was looking at him. "Yeah, it was. Why?"

"He said my door was unlocked. How could he have known?" Kagome wanted to know.

"Lucky guess." Inuyasha answered after a moment. "Kagome, there wasn't anyone there. We would have found something…some kind of trace or something, I'm sure."

Kagome looked down in defeat. "I guess you're right."

"I'll see you guys tomorrow." Inuyasha said and with that, he turned and left through her door. Kagome heard him close the door behind him.

"Kagome…" Sango said unbelievingly. "If you need anything…call me."

"I will."

"See you tomorrow. Bye." Sango also left, closing the front door behind her gently.

Kagome went downstairs and made sure that every door and every window was shut securely and locked. She checked every bedroom window. She locked her own windows and her balcony door.

She went up to her room and closed the door behind her and turned her lights off before climbing into bed. She often left her computer on the Internet, even at night.

'Something weird is going on. And if the others don't believe me, they'll find out eventually. I have a bad feeling that something is about to happen.'

She finally fell asleep and when she got up for school the next morning, she saw that she had some instant messages. She looked them over and gasped.

Death986: Your friends didn't see me last night, did they? That's good, because I was watching you guys through your bedroom window. Now I know where your room is, Kagome. Thanks.


Note- How was it? Sorry, guys, I forgot my disclaimer in the last chapter. Anyway, please review and you can send in ideas. Thanks for reading!
