George scrubbed his head with a towel as he stood in the bathroom; steam billowed around him from the shower he took. His skin was pink and tender, the same it had been since Fred died, no one knew that the hotter he had the shower the less he felt the pain in his heart as it redirected to his skin.
A loud banging followed by screaming had him throwing his clothes on and running down the stairs, pausing on the last step and peering into the kitchen before tentatively walking into the room.
Kagome and Misa looked as though they were just squaring off, a broken chair on Kagome's left indicated what he heard.
"Look at you, your school taught you a lot… you're still blowing up my belongings." Kimi sighed.
Kagome clenched her jaw and whirled on George, ripping the language trinket off of his wrist before turning back to her mother.
Kimi and Kagome began talking, both voices raising to talk over the other and be heard.
'She doesn't want me to understand.' George thought watching the two.
Kagome snapped something at Kimi, making the older woman jerk back as if she had been slapped.
With a final nod, Kagome turned and gently grabbed George's hand and pulled him out of the house and towards the stairs.
"What was that about?" he asked finally, softly as they began descending to the road.
Kagome kept them to the side as she stepped in front of him, re-tying the trinket to his wrist.
"I'd rather not talk about it… nothing good though." Kagome mumbled.
"Alright… where are we going?" George asked.
Kagome smirked, "demon hunting."
George's footsteps faltered as they walked, Kagome's smirk breaking into an amused smile.
"I'm kidding, but we're going to see some friends, one is a demon though."
"Brilliant." George grumbled, after the incident with the spirit the night before he had his fill of anything supernatural Japan had hidden from the muggles.
