~words~ are thoughts "words" are what's said **words** are flashbacks -.- are change of place
===============================================================
Kagome woke up with a damp sweat covering her body. She was pantly loudy as she fingered for the stuffed dog. Knowing it was in her grasp she held it tightly to her as a single tear ran down her face, and dripped on to the white fur of the toy.
It was that pesky memory again. She had dreamt of that same flashback. It just wouldn't retreat from her mind, and it was bothering her as to why.
Memories like this wouldn't plague her for so long, and they wouldn't be the same one over and over again like this. She was scared, she had no idea what it was trying to tell her. She felt foolish for being scared like she was. Though all Kagome really wanted was to make sure Inuyasha was alright.
The dream and the flashback were all the same, and they had to be warning her of something. Kaede had told her that her powers would do something like this. She had even told Kaede about the events, and had no answers for the girl.
Kagome leaned up against her back board as she braught her knees to her chest and clung onto the stuffed dog. She yerned to see Inuyasha again, it hurt so bad not to know how he was doing or see him in ten years.
She wanted to blame their parents, but that was unfair. It was not their fault. Kagome thought she was being selfish, she had great friends, Miroku and Sango. Yet, they still could not fill that empty hole that Inuyasha left those many years ago.
"I may have only been six at the time, but he was my best friend and then we were just ripped apart. It wasn't fair, but there was nothing anybody could do. We all suffered. His parents, mine, our siblings(yes even Sesshy), and the both of us" she said just above a whiper.
Kagome sighed and turned to look at her clock. It read 1:00 A.M. She needed to be up in six hours, and this was the third time she had woken up. At this rate she would never fall asleep. She sighed again as she crawled back under her covers at an attempt to get some sleep.
She looked out of her window and up at the stars and wondered if Inuyasha was doing the same, if he was getting visions as well, or if he was sleeping soundly.
"Who knows what tomorrow will bring. I guess I just wish I could hear his voice or at least know he was well. I don't understand why my parents wouldn't let me contact him. I know they know where they all are. Grr...!" Kagome threw her pillow over her face as she let out a soft, frustrated scream.
She got comfortable once more, and held onto the stuffed animal as she drifted back to sleep with her thoughts tumbling with many questions. None answered...only a single tear rolled down her cheek which showed the grieving want of such answers.
Not once did she notice the Blue-grey eyes staring at her from her door. Her father was there and had been watching her with his soft, kind eyes. He smiled at his daughter, only wanting to comfort her and tell her all the answers she wanted. But he could not, now was not the time, but soon all would be revealed.
Her father closed her door quietly and headed down the hall to sleep also. The whole house fell under a quiet state, as the rest of the night was filled with a much needed dreamless slumber.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- .-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
BEEEEP!!!!!!!!
The sound of Kagome's alarm clock rang through the whole house, as she finally fumbled around to shut it off. Her hand slammed down on it for the final time as she rolled over, her front side now facing her window.
She opened her eyes only to close them quickly again from the bright sunlight that dared to enter her pink room. Kagome opened her eyes again slowly to glare at her clock. She closed them after reading the time, 7:50. It took a second or two to register into her head before she bolted up out of her bed and took a second glance at the clock.
She was late! She needed to be in school at 8, and she only had ten minutes. ~I can't believe I slept late AGAIN! Why didn't mom or Sota wake me up! It's a good thing I took my shower last night. Grr..I'm gonna be so dead! That's the third time this week! The teacher is so going to kill me.~
With her thoughts of being in trouble running through her head she quickly dashed out of her bed, gently placing the stuffed dog she had down with care. She raced off and got dressed into her uniform and made her bed.
Kagome nearly fell down the stairs as she struggled to put her books in her bag. She ran to the door and slid her shoes on, trying not to waste anymore time by skipping breakfast.
"Kagome dear, you haven't had anything to eat, where are you going in such a hurry?" Kagome's mother called to her rushing daughter.
"Mom! It's almost 8 I'm going to be late for school, I have no time to eat! I can't believe you or Sota let me sleep in like that! Why didn't you wake me?" Kagome nearly shouted in frustration to her mother.
"I'm sorry dear I've lost track of time this morning my self, oh my, you better hurry you only have five minutes!"
"What!?" Kagome screetched as she looked at her watch. Her mother was right. "Eep! I'll see you later mom, bye Love you!" with her final words she bolted out the door and down the street for her high school, Shard High.(Yeah I know, not that great of a name but I couldn't think of anything.)
Thankfully for Kagome the school wasn't too far down the road. She reached the school just as the bell for class was ringing. Her legs already ached from the run, as she again dashed to her class trying not to be too late.
She caught a flash of pink and purple to her right. glancing over she saw Miroku and Sango running along too. She cried out to them to get their attention.
"Well I see you two are late too, glad to see I'm not the only one" she smiled.
Sango and Miroku had been so focused in getting to class they almost missed what Kagome had said. Turning their heads they saw her and each gave her a smile in return.
"Yeah, yeah...well my family let me sleep through my alarm. I swear people have no decency to wake someone up!" Sango yelled over to her friend as she tried to suck in more air and keep her pace up to get to class.
"Yeah I know what you mean Sango, the same happened to me. What's your excuse Miroku?"
"Shippou kept me up late, yet again. I slept right through my alarm clock." He laughed a little while scratching his head as the tio slowed to a steady pace, when they could see their classroom was in sight.
"Well don't we make a splendid bunch?" Kagome giggled. Miroku and Sango joined in with a slight chuckle as they finally reached the classroom door. The three opened the door and walked in during the teachers lecture to the class. They tried to calm their heavy breaths as the entire class looked in their direction.
"Well, well, well. So glad to see that the three of you can join us this lovely morning. I assume you'll seem me after class?" their teacher Mr. Kamicha stated in a anger/bored tone.
The three nodded and quickly scammpered to their seats once the teacher nodded for them to do so.
Kagome didn't realize she was holding her breathe untl she had let the air held inside her out. Looking over to her two best friends she smiled and drew her attention back to the boring lecture the teacher had once again started before their little interruption.
Kouga was staring at her the whole time. He whispered over to her trying not to interrupt the teacher, for the guy sure could get cranky.
"Psst, hey Kagome! Psst, my woman..." At hearing Kouga's voice Kagome groaned in annoyance. She did not feel like dealing with him today.
"What do you want Kouga.." she seethed "...and don't call me your woman, I am no such thing! I'm not a piece of property to be claimed ya know." However, this did not seem to phase Kouga one bit, he was just happy to get the girls attention.
"You wanna go to the movies with me this weekend to see......" but he didn't finish his sentance as Kagome replied with a simple no.
"Why not?" he asked her thinking she would have said yes in an instant.
"Because, I am not your woman, and I have plans with my friends" she stated simply.
"Oh, ok...maybe next weekend then" he smiled at her and turned around. Kagome just sighed and hit her head on her desk at the thought of how dumwitted the guy was. He was almost as clueless as Hojo.
Even with all her refusals the two guys just couldn't take a hint and leave her be. She would often wonder to herself of why they were so dense. Everyone else could plainly see she was not interested, but the two remained blinded. Maybe they had hit their heads when they were babies, Kagome just didn't know. She sighed again and turned her attention back to the teacher.
However, it wasn't long before the teacher was interrupted again when a knock came from the door. He answered it as an annoyed look, from being interrupted, sketched across his features.
He nodded in some understanding after he had opened the door, and then moved aside to let a dark figure in.
It was a young man, around the same age as the other students..probably 17. He was tall and had black flowing hair. His eyes were red and their gaze held and unsaid anger and evil.
From the aura the three friends picked up, because of their training, they knew he was another demon. It's not like they minded, the class was full of them. This one though gave Kagome the chills, she had met him before and had wished to never see the likes of him again.
"Naraku.."Kagome breathed out just below a whisper. Yet, his sensative ears heard her and a wicked smile played across his features seeing that the girl remembered him.
A disgusted chill ran through Kagome's body as her eyes met that dispicable being she thought she once knew. Sango had reached over and placed her hand on Kagome's arm to settle her and show she was there.
Kagome gave a reassuring smile to her worried friends. This man would not be let into her heart again. She closed that door a long time ago, and she held no place for him anymore except for hate.
Naraku introduced himself to the class, the whole while locking eyes with Kagome. She finally turned away and gazed out the window in utter frusration as he went on explaining things to the class. Girls whispered here and there of his looks, it disgusted Kagome to think she had once thought the same thing, but that was before she knew the real jerk.
~Great, first I have Kouga and Hojo to deal with, and now him! This is not cool! I must be getting punished for something...oh crap there's an empty seat next to me. Please, be kind and don't let the teacher sit him next to me!~ Kagome thought as she heard the teacher thinking aloud of where to place Naraku.
"Aha! I know just where you'll go Naraku. Please take a seat next to.....Ah yes, Kag*coughcough*" the teacher broke out into a coughing fit before he could finish his sentance. Once it was over he apologized to the class and composed himself.
~I can't believe this! He's actually making that jerk sit next to me! NO! this can't be happening~ Kagome screamed in her mind. Pure horrer filing through her features as her attention was placed back on her teacher.
"As I was saying, you may take a seat next to Kagura. Please raise your hand Miss. Yoko." Kagura did as she was told, and Naraku made his was swiftly over to the girl and sat down. (Yeah so it's not that great of a last name for Kagura, but I had no idea what to put, so just try and deal with my bad names k? thnx ^-^)
Kagome let out and deep sigh. Relief swam over her as the teacher continued on with the lesson. With Naraku back around she knew things were going to be tough, maybe she could use Kouga's want for her to an advantage to keep Naraku away.
The lesson went on without any further interuptions. Kagome dreading every second of the new turn of events, as Naraku just smiled in delight at her unpleasantness.
-DDDDDDIIIIIINNNNNNNGGGGGGGG-
The bell rang for lunch and Kagome grabbed her stuff and bolted before anyone got the idea to talk to her. However as fast as her legs could carry her outside, they could not help her escape from Naraku's quick pace.
Before Kagome even knew what had happened, he had cornered and pinned Kagome to a wall. Her eyes hung open in shock as her lunch fell to the floor.
"Well darling, long time no see" Naraku beemed.
"Not long enough" Kagome hissed back. It was obvious she was in no mood to be near him, but he continued on anyways.
"I want the damn jewel Kagome, give it to me and I'll leave you be." Kagome was utterly confused. ~Jewel...what jewel? I wish whatever he wanted I could give it to him and be free of his wretched presence.~
"Trust me if I knew what you were talking about, I would gladly give it over to you just to see your damned face removed from my sight forever." Naraku grew frustrated, he knew the girl had it, that's what all the tapestries and prophecy's had pointed to.
"Don't lie bitch, I know you have it. You think I would spend another second in this place if it were somewhere else. Now tell me where the Shikon Jewel is!"
"Listen! I have no clue what you're talking about. You must be dilusional, because I have never even heard of such a thing. Now let me go!" Kagome was frustrated by now. He had already caused her enough problems, couldn't he just disapear?
"Fool! I've read the prophecies and tapesties. All signs point to you. Now give it here, you are the holder of it just like your parents were. Stop acting dumb."
"I truly do not know of what you are speaking of. So for the last time, LET GO!" Kagome grunted as she tried to push the demon off of her. She was utterly confused.
Her parents were keeping something from her? Maybe it was just Naraku's web of lies weiving itself around her again. She wasn't sure, but she knew she did not want to listen to him any longer.
Naraku bent his head down and laughed a deep laugh that Kagome wished not to remember. Realization had just dawned on him and all he could do was laugh at the ignorant girl that stood in front of him, not knowing anything of what she was actually capable of.
"My dear Kagome, I see that your parents have still not told you anything. You are as clueless as a lost puppy. You have no idea of the power you hold nor the objet in which you protect. I'm surprised really, I would have thought them to tell you after things between us fell" with those words a small smile krept over his features as Kagome squirmed to free herself.
She could feel the painful memories coming back to haunt her. She didn't want them, all she wanted was for him to go away and leave her alone.
She felt a surge of power run through her body as her powers ran into Naraku, freeing her from his grasp. Kagome may have just been learning to control them, but at least she could do that much.
Thankful to be out of his grasp, Kagome quickly picked up her lunch and flew out the doors towards her friends. Hopefully to stay as far away from Naraku as humanly possible for the rest of the day.
Naraku cradled his hands in each other as he looked at the spot the girl had once been pinned to.
"Damn her. I see she's not as clueless as I thought. Damn Kaede...She's been training her and releasing her powers. I should have known they would try to up the girls defense. Pitty she has no idea why. Oh well, I'll just have to get the jewel before they are told" with his final words Naraku left, not noticing the small green eyes that had been watching the entire scene.
Shippou scrambled away before he could be noticed and launched himself after Miroku. He would tell his cousin of such events after school, when it was safe.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- .-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
The rest of the school day went rather uneventful. Kagome was thankful for that. She did not want, nor need, another encounter with that scum. Though when they did come close, Kouga had stood between the two like Kagome had hoped. For once she thanked Kouga's over-protective nature.
-DDDDDDIIIIIINNNNNNNGGGGGGGG-
The final bell rang, signaling the end of school.
Kagome, Miroku and Sango were about to head out the door when their teacher called after them. Once this happened they remembered their late arrival and trudged over to the teachers desk wondering what punishment he would give them.
"Listen you three. I have no time to deal with you today...Oye my wife's mother is coming" Mr. Kamicha grunted out, only to realize he wondered off topic.
"Anyways that is not important. What is important is for you to be on time. I'm giving you guys a warning only because I know you are good students. Try not to be late any more this week, things are frustrating enough without you children being late. I'll be sure to give you a punishment the next time you come here late without a pass. Now run along, I must be getting home*rolls eyes* It's going to be a long night. See you three tomorrow" and with that Mr. Kamicha left the room, leaving the three friends standing there stunned.
"Wow, that was was weird" Stated Miroku.
"No kidding. I thought for sure he would give us detention for being late so much this week" Kagome replied.
Sango nodded her head in areement as the three headed home. Kagome stopped a second to tie her show as Miroku and Sango continued on. She tied up her shoes as she went to catch up.
Kagome ran to her friends with a bright smile as they headed out of the school, thankful they did not have to serve detention. By that time dark clouds had formed, and one could smell the rain that would soon fall.
Sango and Kagome were talking about going clothes shopping when all of a sudden, Sango felt an all too familiar hand on her backside. *SMACK!*
The thundrous slap echoed the street, as the now swirly eyed Miroku fell to the ground. He recovered in good time to catch up to the steaming Sango, and laughing Kagome.
"My dear Sango, what ever was that for?" Miroku asked with an innocent face that could fool many, but not her.
"Hmm...I wonder Miroku, maybe the fact that you groped me for the 30th time today!?" Sango screeched and hit Miroku upside the head once more before calming down a bit.
Seeing that he should back down for a few second, Miroku descided to make conversation with Kagome. He noticed she wasn't carying her books and thought it strange since she always had them in her bag.
"Hey Kagome, where are your books, you always have them, why not today?" Kagome gave her friend a puzzling look, until she notice what he said was in fact true.
"Huh? Oh no! I must have left them at school! Eep...I have so much homework to do too. I'll meet up with you guys later at the diner, I'm going to hurry back and get them, Mr. Kamicha will kill me if I don't do the assignment. See you guys soon, I'll hurry as fast as I can. See ya!" She called to them as she ran in the other direction back to the school.
Sango and Miroku both sweat dropped from their friends forgetfulness, but with the circumstances ofthe day they understood. They continued to walk on and soon came across Shippou. He jumped up to Miroku's shoulder as they all headed for the diner that the gang usually hung out at.
However, before they ventured any further Shippou remembered the events from earlier that day between Naraku and Kagome. He stopped his cousin and Sango and told them all about it. Worry was plastered across their faces when the child was done.
They were worried, Kagome usually would have told them when something like that happened. Realizing Kagome was now alone they all rushed after her, not wanting anything to happen to her.
Sango glanced at Miroku, she was worried and he could tell. All he could do though was offer her a reassuring smile, and hope that his gut feelings were false and Kagome was fine.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- .-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Kagome ran back to the school as fast as she could in order to catch up with her friends.
She felt an unsettling darkness in the air as she re-entered the school. She wanted nothing more than to get out of the school and leave, but she needed her books.
~Damn it Kagome! How could you be so stupid tp leave your books behind. Something is not right here. I can feel that something bad is going to happen, I better hurry~
With her final thoughts, Kagome dashed through the halls and into her classroom. She caught sight of her books and grabbed them in a hurry. Her heart pounded as her stomach did flip flops, while that bad feeling kept growing.
Not wanting to waste another second in the school, she ran as fast as she could outside. Kagome slowed as she neared the gates, panting wildly for air.
She stopped to catch her breathe, only to look up to face the one person she wished she would never see again...Naraku. He held a wicked smile upon his face as his dark aura rose, and his hair spun wildly around him, making Kagome realize it was him she had been sensing.
Her eyes opened in surprise and horror at the same time as dark figures appeared behind Naraku. Their faces were unseen, but Kagome could tell they were not on her side. Before she could do anything Kagome was blasted to the ground by a black orb, one of Naraku's shadows had formed in his hands.
Kagome rolled over onto her knees in pain, grasping her stomach where the orb had hit her. As she did so, she saw his feet draw near. She was no match against him, even with her powers. Not only that but he had others behind him. He could and would deflect any attack she tried to throw at them.
Naraku kicked her in the ribs, and sent her crashing into a nearby Sakura Tree. The pedals falling to the ground around the young girls hunched over body.
Naraku gathered more energy as a miasma clouded the area. Kagome's vision blurred as she fought back the effects the miasma was to have on her. She could barely make out the figures that stood a little ways away, but she could still hear the dark figures hauntung laughs.
Finally, Naraku let go of the energy he had been gathering, and sent it ripping towards Kagome. (I'm not really sure if Naraku can do this, but I haven't read the manga and have yet to get deeper into the show than what cartoon network has aired. I can't really think of what he can do other than make puppets of himself and make the miasma. So please forgive me, and just work with me. I don't have too good of a memory, so if any of you could help me out, I would greatly appreciate it thnx ^-^)
She would not scream....No, she dared not give him the satisfaction to hear her penetrating cries she wanted to release. Instead she clenched her teeth hard, cursing the demon. As she did so she heard a loud rumble over head. It had started to rain.
With each step a splash was made, as Naraku edged his way closer to Kagome. When he reached her frail body he grasped the top of her school uniform shirt, and heeved her body up so she would face him eye to eye.
By now her body had cuts all over it. Her short skirt did not help protect her either, it only let her legs be more vulnerable. The pain hurt, and it was all Kagome could think about as she was lifted off the ground.
"Miss me my dear?" Naraku teased with his devlish smile. "Not on bit" Kagome coughed out. His eyes narrowed and his wicked smile appeared once again after faultering for a second.
"Aww, that's too bad. Guess I'll have to teach you a lesson girl.." "Why? I have done nothing to you. If anyone should be lashing out, it should be me against you bastard!"
Naraku's smile turned into a sour frown as he tightened his grip on Kagome. She winced in pain at his movements, and could feel his anger grow as she pushed his buttons. She was not afraid, she knew what he was capable of, but she was still not afraid. If he wanted that jewel that she supposedly had, he would keep her alive until he got it out of her.
"It would be wise not to talk to me in such a way my dear, you know what I can do" he threatened. "And it would have been wise for me to send you to the depths of hell when I had the chance sweetie" Kagome spat back venomously.
Naraku was by far mad now. No longer could he control his rage with this girl. He pulled her closer to his face and smiled into her anger filled eyes. He had to admitt, he liked getting her worked up, and so he smiled again just despite her.
Kagome was frustrated and as she saw that smile of his creep back onto his face she felt like she was about to break. She spit in his face out of disgust and at an attempt to get free from his grasp. She did just that, but not how she had hoped.
His anger flared and he launched the girl across the grounds and into the brick building. Kagome hit the wall hard, but she still would not scream. Only the silent tears that she could not hold back, streamed down her face and into the mudd, showing the pain she felt.
Kagome's vision blurred even more as things became more quiet and she could barely feel the rain drenching her body. Naraku walked over to her body and waited for her to slightly tip her head in recognition.
When she did so he spit on her, as she had done to him moments ago, and said "Till we meet again my dear. Hope you feel agony" and with that he left her.
The dark clouds rumbled and let loose bright bolts of light every now and again. Revealing the crumpled form of Kagome lying by the school wall. Her books had been scattered near the Sakura tree. She never even noticed they fell because of the blow one of the dark figures had dealt her.
Kagome was cold, wet, and bleeding. Her head felt like it was spinning and the pain was getting to her. It was simply unbearable. ~I should have faught back, but then I might be in worse shape than I am...Damn you Naraku!~
The girl tried to move, but nothing did. All she could do was lay there. Kagome felt the darkness threatening her and she couldn't fight it back for long. She just lay there...tears still streaming down her face, her body wet to the bone, and her wounds bleeding and mixing with the mudd all while her vision was blurring and her dark, raven hair was falling over her eyes.
She wanted it all to just go away, she wanted the pain to stop. She just wanted things to go back to normal. But that would never happen. Kagome clenched her eyes shut to prevent the rain from stinging her eyes any longer. Before she knew it, or could prevent it, the darkness had taken her. Everything dimmed and the darkness only greeted her with open arms.
She was in no way aware that someone had scooped her up into their arms and was rushing her towards the hopital. She had no idea of the worried glances that fell upon her from the nurses, and she had no idea as what was suppose to happen next.

A/N: Whew!*whipes brow*...that was a long one. 11 pages...wow! Did that in a whole sitting too, I usually don't do that :P What did you think? I hope you liked it. I tried to give you some action and hints as to what might happen next. Why has Kagome been having reaccuring memories of Inuyasha? Who scooped her up and brought her to the hospital? Is she going to be okay? And just what was Naraku's and Kagome's relationship in the past? All these questions and more will be answered in chapters to come. *Grins evily* Do they make you think? I hope so. You can guess if you like, I'd like to see what you guys think the answers to these questions are. If anything is confusing you just ask and I'll be glad to clear it up as much as possible without giving much away. I hoped you liked this chapter though, I thought it came out good. I wrote most of it up in my study hall...it's so boring...but neways I tried really hard and I hope it was worth it. I've been getting ideas slowly but surely, and I think I know where I might take the story, though I'm not entirely sure...so any Comments you have or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'll be sure to give you credit if I use any of them of course. Thnx! I'll update as soon as I can, but the reviews really do get me motivated, so please Review..they really make my day! Oh yeah, please don't mind my spelling either...I don't have spell check in the program I'm using so it's hard to catch the misspelled words, especially since I read what I wrote there. Neways ^-^ thnx again, PLEASE Review...bye-bye!!!!! ~*SailorInu1*~

~words~ are thoughts "words" are what's said **words** are flashbacks -.- are change of place
===============================================================
Kagome woke up with a damp sweat covering her body. She was pantly loudy as she fingered for the stuffed dog. Knowing it was in her grasp she held it tightly to her as a single tear ran down her face, and dripped on to the white fur of the toy.
It was that pesky memory again. She had dreamt of that same flashback. It just wouldn't retreat from her mind, and it was bothering her as to why.
Memories like this wouldn't plague her for so long, and they wouldn't be the same one over and over again like this. She was scared, she had no idea what it was trying to tell her. She felt foolish for being scared like she was. Though all Kagome really wanted was to make sure Inuyasha was alright.
The dream and the flashback were all the same, and they had to be warning her of something. Kaede had told her that her powers would do something like this. She had even told Kaede about the events, and had no answers for the girl.
Kagome leaned up against her back board as she braught her knees to her chest and clung onto the stuffed dog. She yerned to see Inuyasha again, it hurt so bad not to know how he was doing or see him in ten years.
She wanted to blame their parents, but that was unfair. It was not their fault. Kagome thought she was being selfish, she had great friends, Miroku and Sango. Yet, they still could not fill that empty hole that Inuyasha left those many years ago.
"I may have only been six at the time, but he was my best friend and then we were just ripped apart. It wasn't fair, but there was nothing anybody could do. We all suffered. His parents, mine, our siblings(yes even Sesshy), and the both of us" she said just above a whiper.
Kagome sighed and turned to look at her clock. It read 1:00 A.M. She needed to be up in six hours, and this was the third time she had woken up. At this rate she would never fall asleep. She sighed again as she crawled back under her covers at an attempt to get some sleep.
She looked out of her window and up at the stars and wondered if Inuyasha was doing the same, if he was getting visions as well, or if he was sleeping soundly.
"Who knows what tomorrow will bring. I guess I just wish I could hear his voice or at least know he was well. I don't understand why my parents wouldn't let me contact him. I know they know where they all are. Grr...!" Kagome threw her pillow over her face as she let out a soft, frustrated scream.
She got comfortable once more, and held onto the stuffed animal as she drifted back to sleep with her thoughts tumbling with many questions. None answered...only a single tear rolled down her cheek which showed the grieving want of such answers.
Not once did she notice the Blue-grey eyes staring at her from her door. Her father was there and had been watching her with his soft, kind eyes. He smiled at his daughter, only wanting to comfort her and tell her all the answers she wanted. But he could not, now was not the time, but soon all would be revealed.
Her father closed her door quietly and headed down the hall to sleep also. The whole house fell under a quiet state, as the rest of the night was filled with a much needed dreamless slumber.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- .-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
BEEEEP!!!!!!!!
The sound of Kagome's alarm clock rang through the whole house, as she finally fumbled around to shut it off. Her hand slammed down on it for the final time as she rolled over, her front side now facing her window.
She opened her eyes only to close them quickly again from the bright sunlight that dared to enter her pink room. Kagome opened her eyes again slowly to glare at her clock. She closed them after reading the time, 7:50. It took a second or two to register into her head before she bolted up out of her bed and took a second glance at the clock.
She was late! She needed to be in school at 8, and she only had ten minutes. ~I can't believe I slept late AGAIN! Why didn't mom or Sota wake me up! It's a good thing I took my shower last night. Grr..I'm gonna be so dead! That's the third time this week! The teacher is so going to kill me.~
With her thoughts of being in trouble running through her head she quickly dashed out of her bed, gently placing the stuffed dog she had down with care. She raced off and got dressed into her uniform and made her bed.
Kagome nearly fell down the stairs as she struggled to put her books in her bag. She ran to the door and slid her shoes on, trying not to waste anymore time by skipping breakfast.
"Kagome dear, you haven't had anything to eat, where are you going in such a hurry?" Kagome's mother called to her rushing daughter.
"Mom! It's almost 8 I'm going to be late for school, I have no time to eat! I can't believe you or Sota let me sleep in like that! Why didn't you wake me?" Kagome nearly shouted in frustration to her mother.
"I'm sorry dear I've lost track of time this morning my self, oh my, you better hurry you only have five minutes!"
"What!?" Kagome screetched as she looked at her watch. Her mother was right. "Eep! I'll see you later mom, bye Love you!" with her final words she bolted out the door and down the street for her high school, Shard High.(Yeah I know, not that great of a name but I couldn't think of anything.)
Thankfully for Kagome the school wasn't too far down the road. She reached the school just as the bell for class was ringing. Her legs already ached from the run, as she again dashed to her class trying not to be too late.
She caught a flash of pink and purple to her right. glancing over she saw Miroku and Sango running along too. She cried out to them to get their attention.
"Well I see you two are late too, glad to see I'm not the only one" she smiled.
Sango and Miroku had been so focused in getting to class they almost missed what Kagome had said. Turning their heads they saw her and each gave her a smile in return.
"Yeah, yeah...well my family let me sleep through my alarm. I swear people have no decency to wake someone up!" Sango yelled over to her friend as she tried to suck in more air and keep her pace up to get to class.
"Yeah I know what you mean Sango, the same happened to me. What's your excuse Miroku?"
"Shippou kept me up late, yet again. I slept right through my alarm clock." He laughed a little while scratching his head as the tio slowed to a steady pace, when they could see their classroom was in sight.
"Well don't we make a splendid bunch?" Kagome giggled. Miroku and Sango joined in with a slight chuckle as they finally reached the classroom door. The three opened the door and walked in during the teachers lecture to the class. They tried to calm their heavy breaths as the entire class looked in their direction.
"Well, well, well. So glad to see that the three of you can join us this lovely morning. I assume you'll seem me after class?" their teacher Mr. Kamicha stated in a anger/bored tone.
The three nodded and quickly scammpered to their seats once the teacher nodded for them to do so.
Kagome didn't realize she was holding her breathe untl she had let the air held inside her out. Looking over to her two best friends she smiled and drew her attention back to the boring lecture the teacher had once again started before their little interruption.
Kouga was staring at her the whole time. He whispered over to her trying not to interrupt the teacher, for the guy sure could get cranky.
"Psst, hey Kagome! Psst, my woman..." At hearing Kouga's voice Kagome groaned in annoyance. She did not feel like dealing with him today.
"What do you want Kouga.." she seethed "...and don't call me your woman, I am no such thing! I'm not a piece of property to be claimed ya know." However, this did not seem to phase Kouga one bit, he was just happy to get the girls attention.
"You wanna go to the movies with me this weekend to see......" but he didn't finish his sentance as Kagome replied with a simple no.
"Why not?" he asked her thinking she would have said yes in an instant.
"Because, I am not your woman, and I have plans with my friends" she stated simply.
"Oh, ok...maybe next weekend then" he smiled at her and turned around. Kagome just sighed and hit her head on her desk at the thought of how dumwitted the guy was. He was almost as clueless as Hojo.
Even with all her refusals the two guys just couldn't take a hint and leave her be. She would often wonder to herself of why they were so dense. Everyone else could plainly see she was not interested, but the two remained blinded. Maybe they had hit their heads when they were babies, Kagome just didn't know. She sighed again and turned her attention back to the teacher.
However, it wasn't long before the teacher was interrupted again when a knock came from the door. He answered it as an annoyed look, from being interrupted, sketched across his features.
He nodded in some understanding after he had opened the door, and then moved aside to let a dark figure in.
It was a young man, around the same age as the other students..probably 17. He was tall and had black flowing hair. His eyes were red and their gaze held and unsaid anger and evil.
From the aura the three friends picked up, because of their training, they knew he was another demon. It's not like they minded, the class was full of them. This one though gave Kagome the chills, she had met him before and had wished to never see the likes of him again.
"Naraku.."Kagome breathed out just below a whisper. Yet, his sensative ears heard her and a wicked smile played across his features seeing that the girl remembered him.
A disgusted chill ran through Kagome's body as her eyes met that dispicable being she thought she once knew. Sango had reached over and placed her hand on Kagome's arm to settle her and show she was there.
Kagome gave a reassuring smile to her worried friends. This man would not be let into her heart again. She closed that door a long time ago, and she held no place for him anymore except for hate.
Naraku introduced himself to the class, the whole while locking eyes with Kagome. She finally turned away and gazed out the window in utter frusration as he went on explaining things to the class. Girls whispered here and there of his looks, it disgusted Kagome to think she had once thought the same thing, but that was before she knew the real jerk.
~Great, first I have Kouga and Hojo to deal with, and now him! This is not cool! I must be getting punished for something...oh crap there's an empty seat next to me. Please, be kind and don't let the teacher sit him next to me!~ Kagome thought as she heard the teacher thinking aloud of where to place Naraku.
"Aha! I know just where you'll go Naraku. Please take a seat next to.....Ah yes, Kag*coughcough*" the teacher broke out into a coughing fit before he could finish his sentance. Once it was over he apologized to the class and composed himself.
~I can't believe this! He's actually making that jerk sit next to me! NO! this can't be happening~ Kagome screamed in her mind. Pure horrer filing through her features as her attention was placed back on her teacher.
"As I was saying, you may take a seat next to Kagura. Please raise your hand Miss. Yoko." Kagura did as she was told, and Naraku made his was swiftly over to the girl and sat down. (Yeah so it's not that great of a last name for Kagura, but I had no idea what to put, so just try and deal with my bad names k? thnx ^-^)
Kagome let out and deep sigh. Relief swam over her as the teacher continued on with the lesson. With Naraku back around she knew things were going to be tough, maybe she could use Kouga's want for her to an advantage to keep Naraku away.
The lesson went on without any further interuptions. Kagome dreading every second of the new turn of events, as Naraku just smiled in delight at her unpleasantness.
-DDDDDDIIIIIINNNNNNNGGGGGGGG-
The bell rang for lunch and Kagome grabbed her stuff and bolted before anyone got the idea to talk to her. However as fast as her legs could carry her outside, they could not help her escape from Naraku's quick pace.
Before Kagome even knew what had happened, he had cornered and pinned Kagome to a wall. Her eyes hung open in shock as her lunch fell to the floor.
"Well darling, long time no see" Naraku beemed.
"Not long enough" Kagome hissed back. It was obvious she was in no mood to be near him, but he continued on anyways.
"I want the damn jewel Kagome, give it to me and I'll leave you be." Kagome was utterly confused. ~Jewel...what jewel? I wish whatever he wanted I could give it to him and be free of his wretched presence.~
"Trust me if I knew what you were talking about, I would gladly give it over to you just to see your damned face removed from my sight forever." Naraku grew frustrated, he knew the girl had it, that's what all the tapestries and prophecy's had pointed to.
"Don't lie bitch, I know you have it. You think I would spend another second in this place if it were somewhere else. Now tell me where the Shikon Jewel is!"
"Listen! I have no clue what you're talking about. You must be dilusional, because I have never even heard of such a thing. Now let me go!" Kagome was frustrated by now. He had already caused her enough problems, couldn't he just disapear?
"Fool! I've read the prophecies and tapesties. All signs point to you. Now give it here, you are the holder of it just like your parents were. Stop acting dumb."
"I truly do not know of what you are speaking of. So for the last time, LET GO!" Kagome grunted as she tried to push the demon off of her. She was utterly confused.
Her parents were keeping something from her? Maybe it was just Naraku's web of lies weiving itself around her again. She wasn't sure, but she knew she did not want to listen to him any longer.
Naraku bent his head down and laughed a deep laugh that Kagome wished not to remember. Realization had just dawned on him and all he could do was laugh at the ignorant girl that stood in front of him, not knowing anything of what she was actually capable of.
"My dear Kagome, I see that your parents have still not told you anything. You are as clueless as a lost puppy. You have no idea of the power you hold nor the objet in which you protect. I'm surprised really, I would have thought them to tell you after things between us fell" with those words a small smile krept over his features as Kagome squirmed to free herself.
She could feel the painful memories coming back to haunt her. She didn't want them, all she wanted was for him to go away and leave her alone.
She felt a surge of power run through her body as her powers ran into Naraku, freeing her from his grasp. Kagome may have just been learning to control them, but at least she could do that much.
Thankful to be out of his grasp, Kagome quickly picked up her lunch and flew out the doors towards her friends. Hopefully to stay as far away from Naraku as humanly possible for the rest of the day.
Naraku cradled his hands in each other as he looked at the spot the girl had once been pinned to.
"Damn her. I see she's not as clueless as I thought. Damn Kaede...She's been training her and releasing her powers. I should have known they would try to up the girls defense. Pitty she has no idea why. Oh well, I'll just have to get the jewel before they are told" with his final words Naraku left, not noticing the small green eyes that had been watching the entire scene.
Shippou scrambled away before he could be noticed and launched himself after Miroku. He would tell his cousin of such events after school, when it was safe.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- .-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
The rest of the school day went rather uneventful. Kagome was thankful for that. She did not want, nor need, another encounter with that scum. Though when they did come close, Kouga had stood between the two like Kagome had hoped. For once she thanked Kouga's over-protective nature.
-DDDDDDIIIIIINNNNNNNGGGGGGGG-
The final bell rang, signaling the end of school.
Kagome, Miroku and Sango were about to head out the door when their teacher called after them. Once this happened they remembered their late arrival and trudged over to the teachers desk wondering what punishment he would give them.
"Listen you three. I have no time to deal with you today...Oye my wife's mother is coming" Mr. Kamicha grunted out, only to realize he wondered off topic.
"Anyways that is not important. What is important is for you to be on time. I'm giving you guys a warning only because I know you are good students. Try not to be late any more this week, things are frustrating enough without you children being late. I'll be sure to give you a punishment the next time you come here late without a pass. Now run along, I must be getting home*rolls eyes* It's going to be a long night. See you three tomorrow" and with that Mr. Kamicha left the room, leaving the three friends standing there stunned.
"Wow, that was was weird" Stated Miroku.
"No kidding. I thought for sure he would give us detention for being late so much this week" Kagome replied.
Sango nodded her head in areement as the three headed home. Kagome stopped a second to tie her show as Miroku and Sango continued on. She tied up her shoes as she went to catch up.
Kagome ran to her friends with a bright smile as they headed out of the school, thankful they did not have to serve detention. By that time dark clouds had formed, and one could smell the rain that would soon fall.
Sango and Kagome were talking about going clothes shopping when all of a sudden, Sango felt an all too familiar hand on her backside. *SMACK!*
The thundrous slap echoed the street, as the now swirly eyed Miroku fell to the ground. He recovered in good time to catch up to the steaming Sango, and laughing Kagome.
"My dear Sango, what ever was that for?" Miroku asked with an innocent face that could fool many, but not her.
"Hmm...I wonder Miroku, maybe the fact that you groped me for the 30th time today!?" Sango screeched and hit Miroku upside the head once more before calming down a bit.
Seeing that he should back down for a few second, Miroku descided to make conversation with Kagome. He noticed she wasn't carying her books and thought it strange since she always had them in her bag.
"Hey Kagome, where are your books, you always have them, why not today?" Kagome gave her friend a puzzling look, until she notice what he said was in fact true.
"Huh? Oh no! I must have left them at school! Eep...I have so much homework to do too. I'll meet up with you guys later at the diner, I'm going to hurry back and get them, Mr. Kamicha will kill me if I don't do the assignment. See you guys soon, I'll hurry as fast as I can. See ya!" She called to them as she ran in the other direction back to the school.
Sango and Miroku both sweat dropped from their friends forgetfulness, but with the circumstances ofthe day they understood. They continued to walk on and soon came across Shippou. He jumped up to Miroku's shoulder as they all headed for the diner that the gang usually hung out at.
However, before they ventured any further Shippou remembered the events from earlier that day between Naraku and Kagome. He stopped his cousin and Sango and told them all about it. Worry was plastered across their faces when the child was done.
They were worried, Kagome usually would have told them when something like that happened. Realizing Kagome was now alone they all rushed after her, not wanting anything to happen to her.
Sango glanced at Miroku, she was worried and he could tell. All he could do though was offer her a reassuring smile, and hope that his gut feelings were false and Kagome was fine.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- .-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Kagome ran back to the school as fast as she could in order to catch up with her friends.
She felt an unsettling darkness in the air as she re-entered the school. She wanted nothing more than to get out of the school and leave, but she needed her books.
~Damn it Kagome! How could you be so stupid tp leave your books behind. Something is not right here. I can feel that something bad is going to happen, I better hurry~
With her final thoughts, Kagome dashed through the halls and into her classroom. She caught sight of her books and grabbed them in a hurry. Her heart pounded as her stomach did flip flops, while that bad feeling kept growing.
Not wanting to waste another second in the school, she ran as fast as she could outside. Kagome slowed as she neared the gates, panting wildly for air.
She stopped to catch her breathe, only to look up to face the one person she wished she would never see again...Naraku. He held a wicked smile upon his face as his dark aura rose, and his hair spun wildly around him, making Kagome realize it was him she had been sensing.
Her eyes opened in surprise and horror at the same time as dark figures appeared behind Naraku. Their faces were unseen, but Kagome could tell they were not on her side. Before she could do anything Kagome was blasted to the ground by a black orb, one of Naraku's shadows had formed in his hands.
Kagome rolled over onto her knees in pain, grasping her stomach where the orb had hit her. As she did so, she saw his feet draw near. She was no match against him, even with her powers. Not only that but he had others behind him. He could and would deflect any attack she tried to throw at them.
Naraku kicked her in the ribs, and sent her crashing into a nearby Sakura Tree. The pedals falling to the ground around the young girls hunched over body.
Naraku gathered more energy as a miasma clouded the area. Kagome's vision blurred as she fought back the effects the miasma was to have on her. She could barely make out the figures that stood a little ways away, but she could still hear the dark figures hauntung laughs.
Finally, Naraku let go of the energy he had been gathering, and sent it ripping towards Kagome. (I'm not really sure if Naraku can do this, but I haven't read the manga and have yet to get deeper into the show than what cartoon network has aired. I can't really think of what he can do other than make puppets of himself and make the miasma. So please forgive me, and just work with me. I don't have too good of a memory, so if any of you could help me out, I would greatly appreciate it thnx ^-^)
She would not scream....No, she dared not give him the satisfaction to hear her penetrating cries she wanted to release. Instead she clenched her teeth hard, cursing the demon. As she did so she heard a loud rumble over head. It had started to rain.
With each step a splash was made, as Naraku edged his way closer to Kagome. When he reached her frail body he grasped the top of her school uniform shirt, and heeved her body up so she would face him eye to eye.
By now her body had cuts all over it. Her short skirt did not help protect her either, it only let her legs be more vulnerable. The pain hurt, and it was all Kagome could think about as she was lifted off the ground.
"Miss me my dear?" Naraku teased with his devlish smile. "Not on bit" Kagome coughed out. His eyes narrowed and his wicked smile appeared once again after faultering for a second.
"Aww, that's too bad. Guess I'll have to teach you a lesson girl.." "Why? I have done nothing to you. If anyone should be lashing out, it should be me against you bastard!"
Naraku's smile turned into a sour frown as he tightened his grip on Kagome. She winced in pain at his movements, and could feel his anger grow as she pushed his buttons. She was not afraid, she knew what he was capable of, but she was still not afraid. If he wanted that jewel that she supposedly had, he would keep her alive until he got it out of her.
"It would be wise not to talk to me in such a way my dear, you know what I can do" he threatened. "And it would have been wise for me to send you to the depths of hell when I had the chance sweetie" Kagome spat back venomously.
Naraku was by far mad now. No longer could he control his rage with this girl. He pulled her closer to his face and smiled into her anger filled eyes. He had to admitt, he liked getting her worked up, and so he smiled again just despite her.
Kagome was frustrated and as she saw that smile of his creep back onto his face she felt like she was about to break. She spit in his face out of disgust and at an attempt to get free from his grasp. She did just that, but not how she had hoped.
His anger flared and he launched the girl across the grounds and into the brick building. Kagome hit the wall hard, but she still would not scream. Only the silent tears that she could not hold back, streamed down her face and into the mudd, showing the pain she felt.
Kagome's vision blurred even more as things became more quiet and she could barely feel the rain drenching her body. Naraku walked over to her body and waited for her to slightly tip her head in recognition.
When she did so he spit on her, as she had done to him moments ago, and said "Till we meet again my dear. Hope you feel agony" and with that he left her.
The dark clouds rumbled and let loose bright bolts of light every now and again. Revealing the crumpled form of Kagome lying by the school wall. Her books had been scattered near the Sakura tree. She never even noticed they fell because of the blow one of the dark figures had dealt her.
Kagome was cold, wet, and bleeding. Her head felt like it was spinning and the pain was getting to her. It was simply unbearable. ~I should have faught back, but then I might be in worse shape than I am...Damn you Naraku!~
The girl tried to move, but nothing did. All she could do was lay there. Kagome felt the darkness threatening her and she couldn't fight it back for long. She just lay there...tears still streaming down her face, her body wet to the bone, and her wounds bleeding and mixing with the mudd all while her vision was blurring and her dark, raven hair was falling over her eyes.
She wanted it all to just go away, she wanted the pain to stop. She just wanted things to go back to normal. But that would never happen. Kagome clenched her eyes shut to prevent the rain from stinging her eyes any longer. Before she knew it, or could prevent it, the darkness had taken her. Everything dimmed and the darkness only greeted her with open arms.
She was in no way aware that someone had scooped her up into their arms and was rushing her towards the hopital. She had no idea of the worried glances that fell upon her from the nurses, and she had no idea as what was suppose to happen next.

I tried to give you some action and hints as to what might happen next. Why has Kagome been having reaccuring memories of Inuyasha? Who scooped her up and brought her to the hospital?
