Chapter 2: Favors and a Cat

-Next Monday-

"Nemuri!"I heard as I walked back home from school. I turned to see three of Kagome's friends run up to me.

"You know where Kagome lives, right?"Yuka asked. I nodded. She held out some books. "She's sick again today. Could you give these to her?"

I nodded and grabbed the books. "Sure thing,"I muttered and turned to walk away. I didn't know why, but I never really liked Kagome's friends. After about five minutes of walking, I heard someone else call my name.

"Nemuri-san!"I cringed at the voice. It was Hojo, the medical fanatic. I hate medicine.

I turned and put on a fake smile. "Oh, hello Hojo,"I forced out. HOW MANY PEOPLE FROM KAGOME'S SCHOOL ARE GOING TO RUN UP TO ME?! I yelled in my head, though my expression never changed.

Hojo smiled at me. "I heard that Kagome is sick with the stomach flu,"he handed me something. "Could you take this to her? It really helps with naesuea(sp?),"he stated.

I nodded. "Alright,"I replied and walked away. I rolled my eyes as soon as I turned. When I reached Kagome's house, I walked up the steps and knocked on the door. Mrs. Higurashi answered.

"Oh, hello Nemuri. What brings you here?"she asked.

I smiled and handed her Kagome's things. "I heard Kagome was sick, so I decided to bring her things here,"I replied. Mrs, Higurashi smiled and nodded.

"Thank you,"she said, grabbing Kagome's books. "Her fever is really high, so she couldn't make it to school. I'm guessing her friends gave them to you?"she asked.

I nodded. "Yes,"I replied.

Mrs. Higurashi bowed. "Well, thank you,"she said and turned.

I bowed as well. Realization came over me when Mrs. Higurashi closed the door. That's odd. Hojo said Kagome had the stomach flu. Hmmm...

As I walked down the steps, I turned to look at the shrine next to their house, I cocked an eyebrow and walked to it. "Time to see what's in here,"I said to myself. I opened the door and walked in a few steps, closing it behind me.

I looked around. I coughed slightly and covered my nose. "Dusty,"I muttered. As I walked down the steps, I saw a well in the middle of the shrine. I cocked an eyebrow at it.

I walked to it and dusted the side off a bit. I sat down on it and took off my black and gray backpack. I pulled out a sketch book and began to draw the door of the shrine, since I had nothing better to do. My homework I had finished during study hall. Anyway.

After I had finished, I grabbed my backpack. I put the sketch book in it and zipped it shut. I was about to stand up when I saw something shiny next to my foot. I bent down to pick it up to see it was some sort of jewel.

I look closely at it. "Amethyst?"I asked. I then put it in my skirt pocket and stood up. I took a step, and a cat, Kagome's cat, Buyo, came racing past me. In shock, I lost my balance and fell back. My head painfully hit the opposite end of the well and darkness took over my vision as I fainted.
