Chapter 6

As everyone waited on Kaede to make her announcement the courtyard was buzzing with conversation. I watched as everyone laughed and joked around and i didn't understand how they could be so happy when we were all in a orphanage. Left with no family or parents who just didn't care where the children were. The longer i sat there and seen everyone so happy i started to get mad. I remember when i was happy when i could laugh not a fake laugh but a real one.

When gramps would say something that was out of the normal or when he would make a goofy face. My brother Sota and I would wind up laughing so hard tears would be flowing down my faces. My mom did some of the craziest things though. Sometimes she would get so busy fussing over us making sure we had everything we needed or wanted most of the time, that she would forget that she needed things too.

'Kagome you're being an idiot. ugh why do i have to torture myself and keep thinking of them. They're all gone i'm alone now with nobody to call family. I have to get over them and this. Mom , Sota,Gramps they are all dead and there is nothing that i can do.' I sat here thinking again and people took notice mostly my new friends.

I also noticed that a couple of the new kids was staring too. I wonder if it had something to do with the comment that Koga said at lunch. The orphanage was pretty huge there there was three buildings all used for different things.

The first building was the biggest and set off to the left. this building was used for dorms so to speak this was where everyone slept. naturally the girls and the boys were separated. the guys had the top floors and girls the lower floors there was at least four floors. The middle building is the main building where all the work goes down from new kids coming in or adoptions where kids go out. We also have class there most of the time. the third building is the lunch room and off toward the back it the game room where we get to spend about two hours in a day. Outside is set up in much of the japanese culture. Big Cherry blossom trees lined the walkways. there was tables set up in the middle for anyone that wants to eat outside or just to chill out.

Everything got eerily quiet as Kaede walked up the stairs that went into the main building,

"Okay Children i have something to tell you there will be a few changes around here and i'm sure some of you will like them and some not so much. I have decided that it would be in your best interest to get your schooling done in a normal school setting in just two weeks you will be attending school at shikon academy." Kaede informed us that yes we would have uniforms and that it would be crucial that we act with our best behavior.

The kids went nuts there was hooting and hollering it was loud and and everyone was so excited that i could help but smile.

I felt as if the whole court yard was about to swallow me whole. My hands started shaking, I felt like my chest was on fire. My head started pounding. I couldn't breath.

Keade was still talking,letting us know that the decision was made for us because it would help us more in the long run. I felt numb the more she talked the more i felt myself sinking into the darkness. I felt it consuming me, before i realized what i had done i stood up. All eyes were on me now, but oon couldn't see their faces. They were replaced but bloody images.

" Kagome?" Said a confused and concerned Rin as she reached for me.

"N...no I can't." i said pulling away from her and running out the courtyard.

I ran for a good minute through the cherry blossom trees trying to distance myself from the group of kids that watched me have a melt down in front of them. On the back side of the courtyard there was a small pond i found myself headed that way. I slowed to a walk and took a seat on a the ground looking in the water. That's when my meltdown began. My body shook as the tears flowed down my face. I knew this bit of peace i thought i had would come to an end.

"Go find her i'll call Yamanaka, make sure she doesn't go far." Said a deep voice.

" We will split up so we can cover more ground." Came another voice. They all nodded their heads and went their separate ways.

Pulling out a phone he dialed a familiar number it rang twice and then came the voice,

"Sesshomaru is she okay?"came. The voice of the agent.

"Shes safe she ran while everyone they would start an actual school in two weeks." Sesshomaru said to the other agent.

" What school?" he asked.

"Shikon." was all he told him.

"That's her old school." was all he said before he hung up.

Looking over the file he was given to him from the local police her read her report she left school and was almost home when two men started chasing her.

'huh this could be a little more complicated than i originally thought.' the agent thought. Before picking back up the phone listened for a ring,

"Stay close to her." he said.

"Inuyasha is looking for her now with Sango and Miroku. You said there was five of us here so why did you have four of us come?" The demon asked.

"That's complicated and i will explain when you come back and they find her."said the agent before he disconnected the line.

Finding her didn't take long her scent was easy to follow. She was curled up in a ball crying he seen her body shaking from the tree behind her where he was standing. Why is she so scared, the scent of fear was strong it was radiating. All he could do was watch and listen as she mumbled to herself.
