You're probably all thinking that I'm a lazy sod who can't be bothered to update the story. But for those of you who know it's because I'm doing another story, I thank thee. So finally I've updated so here you go!

Silent Screamer

Chapter 11

"See you tomorrow Kagome!" yelled Sango.

"Bye guys!" I yelled back as I watched my friends, Sango, Miroku and InuYasha continue walking down the street. I started the long climb up the shrine stairs.

As I made it to the top I saw a man with medium long black hair staring up at the sacred tree.

"Excuse me sir, but the shrine is closed while the priest is away," I said. Grandpa hadn't come home yet.

I watched as the man turned around.

I gasped.

It was him…

The one who started it all.

"What do you want Mr. Barashi?" my voice became so cold it was almost not recognisable s my own.

His eyes narrowed.

"You remember me?" he asked in an equally cold voice.

"How could I forget you?" I asked. How could I forget him? After what he did to my father. After what he did…to me.

"Well I don't know. You were only 7 when we last saw each other." He said with a chuckle.

"Please, would you leave?"

He looked at me for a moment and then nodded. "I'll leave, but I'll be back." And with that he walked away.

I stood there watching him walk down the steps.

As he got to the bottom he looked back up. When he saw me standing in the same spot, a sardonic smile spread across his features.

I shivered.

Finally I was able to move, and when I did it was to run into the house, up the stairs and into my room. I locked the door after me.

Without thinking I picked up my phone and dialled the first number that came into my head.

"Hello?" came a masculine voice.

"InuYasha?"

"Kagome?" InuYasha asked.

"InuYasha, do you think you could come over?" I asked.

"Are you okay, Kags?" his voice sounded worried.

"I'll explain when you get here."

"I'll be right there," and with that he hung up the phone.

I sat there staring at the phone until I heard the doorbell ring.

I got up and walked to the door, unlocked it and walked to the front door. I opened it and outside stood InuYasha.

He took my arm and led me upstairs.

We sat down on my bed.

I opened my mouth to say something…to explain why I called him…but I didn't even know why I called him…

I started to tremble. I looked down at my hands.

I looked up at him and said the first thing that came into my head.

"Hold me?"

And with that I started to cry…

I have a reason for all this!
