Private led Kagome towards an abandoned building and offered her to step in. Warily, Kagome slowly walked into the building only to find it was rather cosy and warm on the inside.

"Wow..." Kagome muttered, looking around. She gaped at the neat and tidy building before being tackled by a gibbering madman.

"Adabadaba!" He exclaimed, a crazed look in his eye and his hair styled in a crazy-looking mohawk along with a scar over his lips.

"Rico?" Kagome blinked warily as the strange man babbled oddly yet happily. He clung to her, obviously overjoyed that the young Asian recognised him. Kagome laughed softly before pulling away and noticing two more males. One was rather tall with blue eyes, pale skin and black hair. He had on glasses and a lab coat. The other had a flat haircut at the top and blue eyes, along with a bit of stubble. Kagome realised they were Kowalski and Skipper.

"Ah, Kagome! You're here!" Kowalski smiled, holding a notepad. Kagome smiled softly before it disappeared.

"I have some bad news." She murmured.

"Oh, you're not going back to Japan, are you?" Private looked sad.

"No, no. It's about the discovery." Kagome rubbed her left arm nervously. "I'm half Miko as well. As you know, demons and mikos don't get along well. Both sides are currently fighting inside me and won't stop until they destroy each other." Kagome watched the four males as their eyes grew wide. "So, in other words, it's worse than me moving back. I'm going to die."

"No! Not on my watch, soldier!" Skipper yelled, slamming his fist down on a nearby table. "You will live your full life! I intend to keep you living until you're old! When you've lived a full life, I'll salute you one last time!" Kagome fiddled with her fingers.

"You can try... but unless they recognise that they live in the same body, they're going to kill me. Don't worry, Skipper," The female smiled softly. "I've faced death before. I'm not scared to die." Kagome looked away. "Listen, I gotta get back home. I'll see you here tomorrow?"

"Of course." Skipper crossed his arms. Kagome nodded her thanks and headed out the building. She pulled out her phone and looked at the time.

"Damn, 10 o'clock. And I'm already tired." Kagome let out a yawn before continuing her way to her apartment.
