Chapter 3:

After arriving home and finishing her food, she went and finished her shopping. By the time she had finished it was rather late. Kagome decided that, despite the late hour, she didn't want to go home right away and quickly went to take a walk to the nearest park that wasn't to far from her new home. She couldn't help but think of how her life changed so much. Moving out of the shrine was the best move to make, for now that is.

Who knows what was going to happen now.

Just as she thought that, she noticed a little girl who walking around, looking a little lost. She looked so adorable with her pink hair. She looked this way and that. Kagome thought, due to the hour, that she shouldn't be wandering around.

Walking up to her, Kagome spoke to the girl. "Are you lost, sweetheart?"

Turning her head the girl looked up at her. Her finger was on the tip of her chin making her look even cuter than ever.

"Umm. Do you know where the park is? I'm looking for Ken-chan. He's my friend!"

Getting down on one knee in front of her, Kagome answered. "Yup, I was headed there myself. How about I walk you there and help you look for your friend? Then, if you want, I can walk you both home, alright? I wouldn't want you to get lost again. I'm Ando Kagome, what's your name, cutie?"

"I'm Kusajishi Yachiru. Yoroshiku." She said smiling brightly at Kagome.

"Yoroshiku, Yachiru-chan." Kagome said returning her smile. Standing up, she reached out her hand for the Yachiru to take - which she did.

Arriving at the park, they saw it was almost abandoned as the night sky became more prominent. All but three people had left. Looking closer, she noticed that one was the man with the eye patch she'd seen before, and the others were red head and bald guy from the fast food place. Turning to Yachiru to ask what her friend looked like, she noticed the little girl was gone. Looking around, Kagome saw her with the other three - hanging on the back of the one with the eye patch and spiky hair.

Walking over to them, they looked up when they noticed her approach.

"Hey! It's you! The woman from before!" The bald one shouted at her while pointing his finger at her.

Ignoring them Kagome addressed Yachiru. "So is this your friend?"

"Yup! This is Ken-chan! Ken-chan! This is Ando Kagome. I just told you about her; she helped me get here!" Yachiru exclaimed still smiling brightly.

"Really? Then I'm thankful to you, Ando, for helping her." He said in a deep voice that sent shivers down Kagome's spine.

Just then there was a some sort of cry in the distance that reminded Kagome of youkai. She noticed that the others' behavior had also changed. Suddenly. there were a bunch of youkai surrounding the five of them - and not just one or two. There had to be at least fifty of them. They were different then the ones she was used to.

"What the..." Kagome said wide eyed, looking around her. She could feel her reiryoku starting to tingle.

"You can see them?" The red head said looking at Kagome surprised.

"Well yeah. They are surrounding us. Why shouldn't I be able to see them?" Kagome retorted.

"Normal people aren't able to see them , only a select few who have high reiryoku can see them." The red head explained.

"I see. What are they?"

Before answering that question, he looked to the giant man - since that is what he was…all man - who was identified as 'Ken-chan' - which she doubted that was his actual name - and getting a nod back, 'Red' continued. "They are called Hollows."

"I see." Kagome answered before making a katana out of her reiryoku and attacking the nearest 'Hollow'.
