Before-
"Ah, I guess that's enough reading for today." Happily closing the book Kagome noticed how dark it was and check the time on her Ipod. "Oh my goodness, I'm late, I'm late!" Kagome grabbed her bag and ran semi-full vampire speed.
Meanwhile some where not so far away-
"Finally it's dark." I said to myself as I stretched my muscles. I rubbed my eyes together and tried to fix my hair, "Ugh one thing that sucks about being a vampire is not being able to look in a mirror."
Now-
I was walking down stairs when I stopped half way; looking out the window I saw her. She was the only vampire left. I'm pretty happy the Angels haven't found my families hide outs, but I wish she was here with me. Dad won't let her come to the family because he is concerned if she really is a true vampire. He tells me that when he was young having half anything-vampire-demons- humans- was outlawed, and if any were born the child was immediately sent away from the parents to an orphanage. It was getting darker and I went further down the stairs to the living room to see who was up.
"Good Morning Inuyasha." My mother smiled at me as she was dressed and ready to go outside; Father and my brother, Sesshomaru putting on their shoes.
"Hurry up dear we don't have all night. Remember at midnight we must come back to the mansion, and if you get in trouble with anyone or if the police or damned Night Angels want you to go home then go to Sesshomaru's mother's house, Tohru." My mom told us all this is what we do every night: Trying to act like normal people. Blood being the hardest thing to get, it's kind of hard resisting sucking the living hell out of an Angels or citizens neck.
We all walked out the door together but went our separate ways. The way I went was the same way Kagome went. I passed by the same bench she sat on and I noticed something she must have left there leaving in a rush. It was a book with a brown paper bag covering the cover. Getting a little bit curious I wanted to just rip off the brown cover but then that would be a little mean, so I just opened it to the very first page and it said and many, many others. Just the last names of the family members and their actual names dating back to 1774 took up about fifty-four pages. I started to read some names aloud. "Higurashi family-Takashi family-Maka family-Sohma family-Young- family."
"Oh this must be very private but why is my last name in here?" I questioned myself, I've been a little superstitious about karma since 1932 I always say, curiosity killed the cat. I stood there for what felt like another century. I said to myself, "Well, I guess some cat is going to die very soon." And I opened the book further and started to read.
"Kagome why are you home so late?" Sango was making dinner, one bloody stake and one well done.
"Oh sorry, I was reading on the bench in the park and I guess I lost track of time." Kagome apologized as she went to the kitchen sniffing her food.
"Oh okay, well don't let it happen again, and stop sniffing." Sango laughed, "Go wash your hands dinner will be ready in about ten minutes.
Kagome grabbed her backpack and put it up stairs and went to go wash her hands. When dinner was ready they started talking about school, Kagomes new friend Rachel, the wanna-be Angel, Kikyo and then came the bad news.
"Kagome what book were you ready?" Sango just had to ask.
"Oh you know Sango the book." Kagome giving her the eye.
"Kagome you know you shouldn't be reading that book out in public. Someone could take it from you, or even get a glance at it. You don't want anyone else reading that book." Sango stating the obvious.
"Don't worry it's in my bag." Kagome said with confidence as she took another bit of her stake.
"Okay, show me." Being the mother she is, Sango wanted just to double check.
Kagome sighed as she got herself up from the table and went upstairs yet again. Sango waited for about seven minutes and Kagome still hadn't returned. Sango to sighed and followed the same path as Kagome. She opened the vampire's door and noticed what a wreck her room had been in.
"Kagome what's with all this? You always keep your room clean." Sango said almost tripping on her thrown, sideways trashcan. She looked up off the floor and saw a much panicked Kagome. "Kagome…where's the book?"
Kagome stayed quiet for a few seconds then answered, "I don't know."
Back with Inuyasha-
I closed the book not wanting to read anymore. I sat on the bench thinking to myself, how the hell she got her hands on that book. That book had every single thing about vampires: How they are born, how to make humans into vampires, how to kill a vampire, how to feast on humans, the things we are allergic to, what we can and can't eat, sunlight, the very first vampire ever in Transylvania, and so much other things.
'Should I go to dad about this?' I kept thinking to myself over and over looking at the book. 'No because what if this book could help Kagome with her being 'not a full vampire yet' situation, her parents are both full vampires-' my thoughts were interrupted when someone came up to me; a girl who had long jet black hair, dark brown eyes, and wearing a cross around her neck.
"Why, hello why are you out so late?" She asked me as she came closer and closer.
"It's only 6p.m." I replied back.
"Oh yeah huh, well that's what winter does, gets so dark even though it's only 6." She was close enough to me so she could see the book in my hands. I took the book away farther away from her.
"You know, curiosity killed the cat." I said it like I haven't done anything wrong.
"I know," She replied "but that's what you got to do. If I want to become an Angel, then I have to be more curious then ever. So right now I am oh so very curious about that book you have there, can I see it?" She asked and she held out one hand.
'Damn it, damn it, damn it!! What do I do?! If I give this book to her and she finds out what it is she'd destroy the book and then probably me!' So all I could do was one thing. I forced myself to blush, and said, "Uh, it's my diary…"
"Oh really? Then where's your pen? And why are you doing it out in the dark?" all the girl did was ask questions like a smarty-pants.
"Ugh well, I think I dropped my pen here so I came back looking for it…and well I really don't want my brother to find out that I have a diary, so I took it with me." I smiled at the end of that and Jesus Christ, I wish I never did.
"Oh, oh my! What big teeth you have." She exclaimed and came closer to my mouth.
"Ugh yeah, I know it's kind of strange, but ugh…I guess I can just buy a new pen well ugh…bye." I went past her, acting like I lived on the west part of the city.
"Kikyo." I turned around to her voice once again.
"What?"
"My name, it's Kikyo." She said again and smiled. I smiled back and kept on walking.
As soon as I turned the corner I started to act like I was a human running. Even though as a vampire it felt as if it was a brisk walk. "I should really go return this book."
"Well why don't you?" Sesshomaru came out of no where but didn't startle me. "That book belongs to that girl, Kagome right?" he went on, "In fact I know it belongs to her. Here let me return it." He held out his hand just the same way as that Kikyo girl did.
"No, that's fine; I can do it I mean I'm the one that found it right?" I kept walking trying to get my brother off my back.
"Well, how do you know where she lives? I mean sure you can smell her out but there are tons of other people out in this city."
"Ugh, well umm… I just know okay!" I couldn't help but yell. Sesshomaru laid one of his stupid smirks that he does when he thinks of something oh so evil just to piss me off.
"Yeah her scent is very lovely. I think she uses warm vanilla body wash. In fact, I think I smell her right now." He smiled and turned his head in the direction of the scent. He then walked off with still that smile on his face.
"Shit, got to think of something really fast." And so the first thing that came in my mind was to act like I was going to go take it to the library. 'Gosh I'm such an idiot! This plan doesn't make any sense!' but I kept walking I especially walked slowly past her house as her and her foster mother were frantically looking for something outside…wonder what it was.
"Ugh Sango we'll never find it! Someone must already have found it by now." Kagome sighed and sat on the grass facing towards the streets. I stopped in front of her house acting like I was trying to tie my shoes, I put the book in front of me hoping one of them would see it.
"Kagome did you ever put a cover on the book?" I heard Sango ask.
"Of course I did, the cover is brown."
"Like brown normal book cover, or paper bags, or what?"
"Oh come on Sango paper bag, like that kid has on the floor." Kagome pointed out to me 'Yes!' was all I could think of.
I got up and looked at the book and back to them; acting like an 'idiot' I went to them. "Hey, do you guys know whose book this is?" I placed it in front of Kagome.
Her beautiful red eyes gleamed in delight as she grabbed the book out of my hands. "Oh my gosh!! Thank you, thank you! I've been looking for this book everywhere! You didn't look in it did you?" Sango got up besides her smiling but then looked at me with a stern look.
"Uh well I did but just to see what it was. I think it's a history book, ha-ha, it sure feels like one." I laughed "Well, glad I could help, bye!" then I once again took off like a 'human'.
