Kagome let the autumn wind brush across her face, and she listened to the sweet lulling sounds of the park. The remainder of the leaves blew quietly on their branches, and the small river bubbled like hushed whispers. The park was empty, and the only other noise was two men speaking, and grunting? Kagome lifted her face, and turned in the direction of the noise.She stood up straight, and started walking towards the commotion. Kagome reached a large dark bush, and gingerly pulled back a few of the branches. Her eyes caught a glimpse of two figures, battling it out for some unknown resolution, "You're nothing," one of them said. He was tall, with long silver hair that reached the back of his knees. He wore light, fitted jeans, and a festive red and white shirt. He appeared to have some fur boa draped across his shoulders. Kagome wasn't sure, but she could swear his eyes were amber. His face was covered in scars, two deep ones embedded on both of his cheeks. This one turned to his opponent, whom appeared younger.

The other guy was of similar build, and also had silver hair. His well-toned muscles brimmed out the sides of his tattered, white muscle shirt. His black jeans were full of tears and burns, and fitted loosely to his legs. His eyes were amber as well, and he also bore no weapon. He quickly dashed at his opponent, fist flying, and feet pounding. The older guy anticipated such a move and firmly planted his fist in the oncoming's face. The young man flew back into a bush, silent and unconscious.

The older shook his fist, and turned to the bush, "Pathetic," was all he uttered before leaving the scene. Kagome looked down the path which the stronger male had taken, checking to be sure that he'd gone. She leapt out of the bushes, and ran to the fallen's aid. He lay still against a tree. The girl knelt down to check for injuries, but the boy moved, still unconscious. Kagome gasped quietly, and then dashed behind the tree. He got to his feet, shook of his injuries, and headed for home.

Kagome silently peered around the tree. Who were those men? Why were they fighting? The park clock rang six times, causing the young girl to jump slightly, "Oh, my gosh! I'm late! Mo's going to kill me!" she said, bolting through the bush, scooping up the bags as she blazed by and running for home.

All was silent in the park, and the sun began to set. As the stars took light, a new figure stepped from the shadows of the tree. Her dark hair fell to her shoulder blades, and was tied back with a white ribbon. She wore black pants and coat, making the illusion of her entire form taking the embodiment of the shadows in which she hid. Her dark eyes squinted in the direction in which Kagome had left, "Foolish girl," she said darkly. "Inuyasha is not taken down so easily," she said with a slight chuckle before disappearing into the night.
