The most special possession she had ever come to own was gone. It was impossible wasn't it? A ghost in her new home, a monster in the attic, and now this. She screamed. Why did it have to happen to her? Who was that ghost to play games with her. He had done this, she was positive. He would pay for it too somehow.

She searched everywhere. Her bedroom, her mother's bedroom, her brother's room, and everywhere else in the house. If she could only just find the pieces that would be enough. She could keep them like she had the picture. Her rampage ended in the living room. She overturned anything that had been left standing up right, but still there was nothing. It was gone.

She walked to the kitchen hoping to find a glass that wasn't broken. Unfortunately for her Mr. Ghost Boy had been too thorough and smashed everything. Oh well, she though. Should I have expected anything else? It was a simple question but she decided not to answer it just the same. It would only serve to make her feel even worse. Standing in front of the sink she looked out the window above it, wondering at how things had turned out this way. After a minute or two she turned the faucet on and splashed some cold water on her face. It was nice to have running water and electricity.

Slowly she turned the water off and wish an anguished cry through herself against the refrigerator. It was too hard to do nothing, but that was all she was capable of doing. Someone had ruined her home, destroyed anything and everything whether it was of value or not, and she knew exactly who it was. It was a shame she could do not a thing about it. She cried hard, and she cried strong. She slid to the floor and hugged her knees as she let the warm wetness slide down her cheeks. Everything was a mess now.

"What's your problem?"

Kagome jerked her head up to address the voice which had just spoken. Who was that ghost to think he could return to the seen of the crime…his crime. Had all of his intelligence died with his body?

"You should know you self-centered inconsiderate jerk! You ruined everything!" She screamed.

Looking thoughtful, the boy rested his hands his hands on the refrigerator above her. "I don't think I know what you're talking about." He said slyly yet seemingly innocent.

"Who are you to ruin other people's belongings?" She began yelling again. "Who are you to tell me to leave my own home? Who are you to ruin my life!" Kagome couldn't keep looking at his smug face. He knew what he had done and refused to own up to it. Who was he to have such control?

She started to cry again.

"Why are you doing this?" She asked between sobs. "What's so bad about sharing this house with a few people?" She wiped her face and eyes with her sleeve as the more tears appeared.

The boy leaned back and watched her. He hadn't meant to make her cry. He thought she would have been angry not sad. Sure it would be a pain, but everything he had destroyed could be replaced. The food, the furniture, everything.

"What's the big deal?" He asked casually. "Everything can be replaced. I was only trying to scare you, but unfortunately for me it didn't work."

"Trying to scare?" Kagome shrieked, "You ruined our food, broke our furniture, shredded our clothing and you say it's no big deal? What kind of monster are you?"

Monster

That was something he had not been called in a long time. The times when he was were not ones he wanted to remember. A monster was not what he was…or was it? Could there have been another way to make the girl and her family leave? Probably.

"Hey." He said sitting next to Kagome. "Don't cry OK? I'm sorry."

"You should be." was all she said in return.

"Don't get mad. Whatever it was you can replace so suck it up."

"Suck it up?" she said quietly. "How do I replace my father?"

"Hey!" The boy said while jumping to his feet. "I never killed anybody!"

"I know." She said gently. "But you ruined his picture. It was the only one I had and it's gone now."

With those words the boy could no longer look at her. How could he have done such a thing?

"I'm sorry." He said gruffly, and before Kagome could look up he was gone.

A/N:

I'm sorry that this was so short. I had a request for an update so I decided to fulfill that request. I'm sorry that I have such little time for fan fiction these days. I have a lot of issues in my life that need to be resolved and I'm steadily working on that. Some of them have been taken care of though. J I'll try to update this story regularly, but I don't know about my other stories. Most of them aren't that good. I just cranked 'em out 'cause I had nothing else to do. We'll see how things work out. Enjoy this chapter if you can! L
