Disclaimer: I don't own squat except the merchandise. So don't even try suing me because my paycheck is not enough.

AN: For those of you who were curious about the details in the last chapter? You guys will have to use your comical imaginations for that. Also Souta, Shippó, Hitomi, and Satoru are dress the same way as their characters are in FFVII: AC.

I just came up with this… after this chapter, Satoru won't be appearing in this fic anymore. There will be hint and such of him having a crush on Kagome, but that's all.

Yes, just recently, I found the truth about Dirge of Cerberus really being a video game. Hey, every one makes mistakes. I couldn't tell because the game had parts to it that were DVD quality. But damn, it would be great if it were a movie.

And for Angel Nor Devil: I'm sorry but I'm not gonna put the OC characters in because I have a feeling that I would leave them out through out the whole story. So I'm just using Souta, Hitomi, and Satoru and having Sesshoumaru and Shippó added too.

Well, enough of my chatting and on with the Chapter!

Chapter Two

A Stalker at The Convention

Before coming to the convention by car, Kagome was a bit speechless to find Sesshoumaru's limo waiting for them but was even more speechless to find the said proud Taiyoukai in a mighty sexy outfit that was made out the same material as the bodysuit for her costume.

(Chaotic Rei wrote this next paragraph since I'm not that good with describing Sephiroth. So Kudos to her for helping out.)

The outfit consisted of a long black trench coat that was tied with a thin leather belt above his waist, with the coat parting at his chest to leave some of it bare, with two ebony leather straps crisscrossing to connect to the rest of the coat. The metal shoulder pads actually had two metal plates underneath the shoulder pad, which had three holes in it. He had sleek black gloves that had a metal band on them binding the gloves to the sleeves, and on his black knee-high boots he had two more metal bands.

All in all, Sesshoumaru looked really good even if he was her brother.

(Sesshoumaru is in a human guise, hiding his facial markings and other demon features so he looks human but still has his gold eyes and silver hair)

"Ne? Sesshou-Ní-chan is dressed up as Sephiroth?" Souta asked in excitement from seeing his older adoptive brother dressed as his Hero's Arch-nemesis. Just make his bangs a little longer, change his eye-color to an aqua-teal color, and give him a replica of the Musumane, then he would look exactly like the Super-SOLDIER.

"Sugoi! How awesome is that? First Kagome-san looking like Vincent Valentine and now Sesshoumaru-Tono looking like an exact replica of Sephiroth. That's just too awesome!" Satoru said. He couldn't believe how lucky his friend Souta was to have a sister like Kagome and a big brother like Sesshoumaru. If they kept the costumes, it would like having the real characters of Vincent and Sephiroth right at home.

("Tono" is short for "tonosama" which means 'Japanese feudal lord', 'liege lord; nobleman'. And Yes, Satoru also knows about Kagome's travels to the Sengoku Jidai XP)

Hitomi was practically drooling at the sight of Sesshoumaru dressed as Sephiroth seated in his place by the window, legs crossed with masculinity, and his chin resting on the palm of his hand as he looked out the window. Hey, just because she was Souta's girlfriend doesn't mean that she couldn't have her opinion on how good other guys, young or old, looked in features. (Here, here! XD)

Shippó was practically glowing with pride at the compliments and praise from his uncle and his friends. The Kitsune, before getting the request of making a Vincent costume for his mother by Souta, had made the Sephiroth costume for Sesshoumaru just out of boredom. When Sesshoumaru had tried it on during one of his visits, Shippó had the shock of his life at how much the old (even if he didn't look it) Taiyoukai looked exactly like the silver haired villain from one of the most popular Final Fantasy games, worldwide. And even more shocked to hear that stoic lord decided to come along… out of "curiosity, he said, and had nothing to do the day the convention was opened to the public.

'Pfft. He just wanted to come so he could show it off.' Shippó thought, smugly.

Feeling different intensities of stares on his person, Sesshoumaru turned to the four he had offered a ride to the convention. His adopted imouto's (little sister) face seemed blank with a raised brow, but he could see that she was clearly amused by what he was wearing. Shippó was looking smug… and had that grin on his face that had always drove him nuts during the first two centuries of raising him before he was able to truly take care of himself. Souta and Satoru were both looking at him with amazement and admiration. And little Hitomi was drooling a bit with her eyes wide open.

After they were all seated in the limo; Kagome at his side and Shippó at hers. Souta sat across him with Hitomi beside him and then Satoru. After subtly telling Hitomi to wipe off the small drool at the corner of her mouth, they were off to the convention.

One the way, Sesshoumaru had a light conversation with Kagome speaking in demon. Although, Shippó knew what they were saying, as well as Souta a little, Hitomi and Satoru didn't. It seemed like a private conversation so they didn't pry. During their conversation, Kagome felt a demonic aura, one that was calm and docile.

'So he's bringing Tenseiga.' She mused the statement. It was no surprise. During the final battle, Toukijin had shattered somehow when Sesshoumaru to use it with the combination of one of Kagome's sacred arrows. The holy power must have been too much for the tainted blade, making it shatter when it couldn't take anymore.

Sesshoumaru wasn't really mad about it. He had tried to find a way to dispose of it without any innocent souls coming into contact with it, anyway.

Giving her older brother a knowing look, Kagome kept quiet as her younger brother, his girlfriend, her son, and their friend talked among themselves about what they should check out, do, and get at the convention.

Upon arriving, Sesshoumaru took out Tenseiga from the trunk of the limo after he and the others lit themselves out. As soon as the Taiyoukai gave his driver instructions and how long they would be there, the six of them made their way inside after showing their passes and gaining looks of awe from the workers and Final Fantasy fans that were in line.

Just as soon as Kagome had walked through the entrance, a couple of squeals of "Oh my god!" sounded as a group of 3 girls dressed in cute and stylish clothes (Yuna, Rikku, and Paine from FFX-2 in their "Thief" clothes), even if they showed a bit too much skin, come running to her and nearly tackled her to the ground with glomps. Sesshoumaru and Shippó got the same treatment too (they got attention, not hugs), but not as bad as Kagome (SHE got the hugs).

The three girls who had "attacked" Kagome were talking so fast that she couldn't understand with all their shrieks and squeals of excitement and they were making her ears hurt. She could only feel pity towards Shippó and Sesshoumaru because of their much more sensitive hearing. The only thing that Kagome could understand from them was the word "picture" before they had gathered around her and snapped a shot of the four of them.

When they were gone, Kagome had stayed silent for a moment until she turned towards her little family asking them, "What the hell just happened?"

They all just answered with laughed while Sesshoumaru just gave an amused smirk.

This continued on for the rest of their stay, Kagome getting glomped by various Vincent fan girls, very few fan guys giving compliments, and both genders asking for photo shoots with her. It almost became exhausting for her and kinda made her on edge because she had never been glomped by total strangers.

'Wait a sec… How come everyone else is not getting the same treatment I'm getting?!' Kagome thought a bit peeved. She understood with Sesshoumaru because he never liked bodily contact from anyone unless they were family or a current lover. But Shippó and Souta… she knew they were dressed as popular characters and had their hair styled just like them, so why weren't they getting as much attention as she was?!

Seeing his mother's glare directed at him and his younger uncle, Shippó chuckled at his mother's sour mood and answered her silent agitated question, "The reason why you're getting glomped so much is because the character you're dressed as, Vincent Valentine, is that popular next to Cloud Strife and Sephiroth. And also the character I'm dressed as is pretty much a minor in the game."

There was a long pause 'til Shippó added, "Plus, Sesshoumaru avoids getting glomped while the reason for Souta, even though he's dress just like Cloud, he's still a kid."

With a defeated huff and pout, Kagome decided to drop the subject and head for the food court of the convention to have a meat bun or two with some iced tea (Mmm, iced tea sounds really good). The sandwich she had eaten earlier before coming was really light and only served as a snack. It had also seem that the others decided to get something to eat too, although Sesshoumaru and Satoru had just settled with something to drink saying that they weren't hungry.

During the short meal, Kagome kept feeling like she was being watched. By whom, She did know but knew that it was human with a dark soul. The darkness it held was as powerful as Naraku's was but was still too much for a human, yet it also felt familiar. And from the feel of it, it wasn't too far from where they were sitting. And from how alert Shippó and Sesshoumaru were, they could feel it too.

'Just because it's a human watching us, doesn't mean that he's harmless.' Kagome thought as she took one last sip from her tea. And it was true. Kagome had learned from experience that humans could be more ruthless and bloodthirsty than demons. She had witnessed it in various battles in the Sengoku Jidai; battles that were meant to take place in history.

Once everyone was done with their light meals and drinks and had cleaned up after him or herself, they had left to look around the conventions some more. With Kagome, Sesshoumaru, and Shippó on guard with the human that was following them everywhere.

Souta, looking around, found a sign beside a line full of people cosplaying Final Fantasy VII characters that said "Final Fantasy VII (7) Cosplay Contest. The one who looks like their Favorite Final Fantasy VII character the most, Wins."

The prizes from last to first place seemed like nothing special but… The Grand Prized was what caught his eye.

The Grand prize was an authentic replica of Cloud Strife's motorcycle, Fenrir. From the model, the paint job, down to the last gimmick and storage to where Cloud kept his swords. Just when Souta was going to enter the contest, he saw one of the rules written in bold writing: You must be 18 or older to enter.

'What?!' Souta thought as he gazed at the line only to see that there were only participants ranging from eighteen to thirty at the most. Hell, there was even a graying old man that was dressed up as Reeve in line. Not a single participant was anywhere near his age. 'Damn, now what? I want that Fenrir!' Souta whined with a pout marring his face.

Then suddenly as if a light bulb appeared over his head, the youngest Higurashi took off to where his sister, older brother, and nephew who was far older than him should be. When he did find them, they along with his girlfriend and best friend were checking out replicas of Final Fantasy weapons.

Kagome Sesshoumaru were checking out the quality and craftsmanship of a sword that Shippó had said was called Masamune, while getting looks of admiration and awe from the owner of the stand, when Souta had come running up to them.

"What's the rush, squirt? You wanna head home already? It's not even close to closing time." Kagome spoke as she passed the long sword to Sesshoumaru for him to look at closer before giving it back to the owner of the stand.

Watching her younger brother catch his breath, Kagome couldn't help but be amused at the sight he made because he was always so in shape and had more stamina than his peers in soccer and track. She could even feel Entei's amusement at the boy's display. During the times when Kagome was able to let Entei run freely among their shrine grounds when it was free of tourists and visitors, the demonic horse had grown attached to most of the Higurashi family members. But even more attached to Souta because of the boy's resemblance to his mistress in personality and determination. The boy even had the potential to become his second master if something ever happened to his current mistress.

Once Souta had caught his breath, he spoke in question, "Kagome, I really need a favor that only you can do. I would ask Sesshoumaru-Ní-sama, but I know that he won't do it and Shippó… it would just give him too much of an Ego-overload."

The said Taiyoukai just went about his business in asking the price, quality, and names of most of the blades that were on display while only partially hearing what his younger surrogate brother was asking for. Shippó just gave out an offended 'Hey!' at what his uncle was implying.

Giving a light chuckle at her son's antics, Kagome just went ahead and asked what was that her younger brother wanted. Although she had a feeling that she would regret her choice for asking what it was Souta had wanted as she saw that excited yet hopeful smile appear on his face.

And in a hopeful voice, Souta asked, "Could you join the 'Final Fantasy VII (7) Cosplay Contest'? I can't enter because I'm not old enough. Will you enter it, please?"

He was right, Kagome thought. A contest like this was something that Sesshoumaru wouldn't waste his time with and it would just boost Shippó's ego enough to where his head would be too big to fit through the exit when they decided to head home.

"Why do you want me to enter? What is it that you want to win in the contest?" Kagome knew that it had to be a prize that Souta wanted badly. What it was, Kagome didn't know but it had to be something that their mother would let him buy because of his age.

"The Grand Prize winner of the contest gets an authentic replica of Cloud Strife's motorcycle: Fenrir! That's why I'm asking you to enter the contest so you can hopefully win the Grand Prize." Souta said in the same hopeful voice, but this time had the hopeful expression to back it up.

Seeing no other way around this and knowing that she would get a headache from Souta's begging if she didn't agree to enter this contest. But just to make sure that the contest wouldn't be rigged, Kagome asked Souta to take her to where the contest was held and also take a look at the motorcycle he wanted her to win. She could practically feel Sesshoumaru's laughter through his aura, clearly amused at her predicament as Souta dragged her to where he saw the line for the contest with Hitomi and Satoru following.

The line was pretty long to put it lightly. Looking at the sign that was next to the said line, Kagome started reading the rules along with the fine print concerning the prizes. So far there weren't any loopholes that could possibly rig her concerning the prizes and everything else seemed well concern the grand prize. From the photo of the cycle that was on the poster, it looked pretty nice with the black and gold paint job.

'Come to think of it… I saw that same bike on the way to the Sword stand.' She thought. Even though Kagome wasn't one for or into vehicles and such, the young miko admired the uniqueness of how it was built.

Telling Souta that the contest was perfectly safe and had no loopholes, Kagome agreed to enter the contest just for the hell of it. Souta, Hitomi, and Satoru gave out whoops of joy and excitement as they left to look for good seats.

The wait in line was a bit boring, to put it lightly. Ever now and then, when one of the contestants who was supposed to be dressed like her, would take a good look at her they would gripe a bit, whine even, and just leave the line muttering to themselves that they didn't have a chance at winning. A few even gave her ugly looks when they made their way past her. Kagome really didn't care. She just gave them an even colder and deadlier look that would make their blood run cold and want to run to the bathroom.

This went on for about half an hour or so until she was finally able to register her name into the contest and get her contestant number. But not without getting the same looks of awe and amazement and nearly getting glomped by one of the female judges of the contest. When she took her place among those who were dressed as the same character as her, Kagome was surprised that there was only a small handful of at least seven people while the other people who were dressed like Souta, Hitomi, Satoru, Sesshoumaru, and Shippó, there were close to at least twenty or more.

The contest was carried out almost like a beauty pageant with all contestants walking on a catwalk and such. A lot of fans, young and old, came to the contest to check out the costumes the cosplayers made and wore. And right at the front row she could see Souta, Hitomi, Satoru, Shippó, and even Sesshoumaru (with an amused smirk on his face). It took so long to go through most of the contestants to get to her, it took so that with the long metal covered boots her feet were starting to hurt from standing up for… 2 hours at the most. Yeah, sure she's stood longer than that when training with Sesshoumaru and Shippó but while wearing shoes that were just uncomfortable when standing still for that long… let's just say that she will be expecting some killer blisters when she gets home.

'How in the hell does… what's his name wear these boots? My feet are aching and I know I'm getting blisters.' Kagome whined internally. She had never felt her feet hurt so much since she had fell victim to both Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru's slave driving; the long hours of fast paced walking (Inuyasha) and the long torturous training (Sesshoumaru).

The host of the contest soon called her number and informed the audience the character she was dressed as, giving her the cue to walk down the walkway, wincing with each step unnoticeably. Again, everyone was in awe and astonishment as she made her way on the catwalk while many gave out hollers, whistles, claps of praise and such while taking more pictures of her in the costume including Souta, Satoru, Hitomi, and Shippó.

At the contest she could also see a familiar face that she hadn't seen since a month after the well sealed itself up. It was Houjo (Present Health Nut Houjo from, not FFVII Crack Head Houjo) who was dressed in a white coat, black maybe dark brown slacks, and a white dress shirt. Despite the excited smile on his face Kagome felt a small core of darkness within him very similar to the presence that was following her and her group. But because it was so small and weak, she paid no mind to it and just gave a friendly smile his way that made him blush in return with a shy smile of his own.

'Heh, he's so easy to predict. But he's not for me, no matter how many times he tries to ask me out or how hard he tries to win me over.' Kagome thought, tiredly. Since coming out of her depression, Hojo kept coming to the shrine asking her out on dates and giving her the same healthy gifts (if you can call them that…) every time he came over, thinking that he would finally be able to win her over or at least have a chance with her.

Kagome hadn't seen him for a month and thought that he may have given up and found someone else. But I guess it was too good to be true since he was there and still seemed like a lovesick schoolboy.

With the contest coming to a close, the judges made their final decisions for each character that was a part of Final Fantasy VII. When it came to the character Kagome was dressed as, everyone was excited that she had made it to the semi-finals. An hour later everyone became very silent and the few contestants with her became anxious as to who would win while she just stood calmly with her arms crossed bored.

"My, my everyone must really be curious." The host of the contest said with a light chuckle, and opened the folded piece of paper that held the final decision of the judges for the grand prize as he announced, "And grand prize winner of The Final Fantasy VII (7) Cosplay Contest is… Higurashi Kagome cosplaying as Vincent Valentine!"

The crowd went wild, as well as Shippó, Souta, Satoru, and Hitomi. And Sesshoumaru just lit a proud smirk appear on his face. Kagome herself couldn't help but feel happy that she won the contest, letting a small smile lit her face as she made her way to the host. When all the girls, who came to see the contest, saw her smile they all just went ballistic like fan girls at a concert. Their screams and yells were so high pitched that it made Shippó and Sesshoumaru's ears hurt with their demonic hearing.

'Wait… if they're going crazy that much, does that mean… do they think I'm a boy?!' Kagome didn't like this. She hated it when people mistook her for a pretty longhaired guy. It even happened when she was still traveling in the Sengoku Jidai after giving up wearing skirts and stated wearing either the traditional garb of the era, pants, or shorts. Hell, when she had hit her sixteenth birthday she started wearing the boys' school uniform that had a longer jacket.

Sighing internally at her misfortune of how people see as a guy because of her clothes, Kagome just went ahead and made her way to where the host of the contest stood. He had given his compliments about the costume and how much she had resembled Vincent Valentine along with asking her some questions about why she entered the contest and such. And she answered saying she entered for her brother because he wanted the grand prize and since he wasn't old enough to enter.

After the contest and being given the key to the cycle so she could pick it up before the closing of the convention, Satoru had said that he had to get home now before his mother worried because they were suppose to visit Mayu's grave for Halloween.

(Yes, since it's Halloween, I decided to make this chapter along with the next will be Halloween Specials to make up for not being able to write something for Vincent's birthday on October 13th.)

Kagome and the others understood and lit Satoru go to where his mother was waiting for him in the parking lot. The miko had then asked Hitomi if she had to go home anytime soon.

(This next part is purely fiction, but I wanted to out in a little reality of what goes on in the real world. So this next part would most like be for older teen and up.)

Hitomi had answered, "Nope, my parents are away in America checking out the most haunted houses and hotels for their vacation. But they had called Mrs. Higurashi to ask if I could stay with you until they come back." For some reason, Kagome didn't want to believe that. Kagome had been to Hitomi's house once to pick her up for an outing to shop for Souta's birthday and what she heard and saw was… appalling to say least. On the outside of the house, it looked like a nice homey place but when Hitomi had answered the door, from what she could see… the place was a mess. Trash was everywhere, as well as dust, some cobwebs, it smelled of marijuana and cigarette smoke, and just looked like it had never been cleaned. And her parents… oh, god her parents were beyond what she expected with how well Hitomi was raised to be around people.

Hitomi's parents were in the living area just next to front door smoking and such, real lazy, and she saw Hitomi's father injecting something into his arm. She didn't know what, Kagome knew that it wasn't any type of legal medication. When the two left the house, Hitomi apologized for what Kagome saw in the house and told her of the problems she had with her parents, along with how much the usually act as if she was never there.

Kagome could tell that Hitomi didn't like the way she had to live as well as how unhappy she was there. It was really obvious at how much her parents didn't care about Hitomi. They didn't even ask where she was going or anything at all. They just sat there in the living area and not acknowledge anything around them. Hitomi had said that they worked and had jobs but they were not normal jobs. Her father worked with drug-addicts and her mother of a prostitute, and both worked for very little money- so little that it was barely enough to pay the bills, let alone groceries or good clothes. Most of their profit was drugs alone.

Kagome couldn't help but hug the young girl and lit silent tears fall from her eyes as Hitomi hugged back for dear life and lit her own tears, held back since before she met Souta, fall as she sobbed in Kagome's arms say, "Please, please don't tell Souta." The miko knew that just by her seeing the way

After their little emotional moment, they picked up a couple presents for Souta and went to Sesshoumaru's work office where they had discussed Hitomi's situations and such to Sesshoumaru himself. Now despite how cold Kagome's older brother was, she new that he loved children of all ages and had so since he first met Rin. When Sesshoumaru heard Hitomi's story, Kagome could tell that he was furious toward Hitomi's parents and had said so in a calm, cold, deadly voice. After a while, Sesshoumaru came to the decision to help take care of Hitomi without her parents knowing; giving her new clothes, money to buy food for herself, and anything else she wanted.

Although, Hitomi was modest and didn't want to burden him, she was very happy and could help but run around his desk to hug him from around his waist.

(Okay very dramatic part is over… at least I think it was dramatic)

And ever since that day, Hitomi was very happy knowing that there were really very kind people out in the world. She had been taken well cared of with good clothes made by Shippó, plenty of food, and now usually spends most of her days at Sesshoumaru's manor or Kagome's family shrine.

Well back to the present, Kagome knew that what Hitomi had said was a half lie. Yes, Hitomi's did go out of the country and to somewhere in America, but it wasn't for vacation. They just wanted to leave without Hitomi, and never come back. And she doubted that they would ever come back.

As for them calling Kun-loon about her staying with Kagome… Sesshoumaru said that Hitomi was aloud to stay with Kagome for few days to receive training. Kagome had guessed that she didn't want to Souta to find out about how she lived yet, if not ever.

Anyways, it was good that Hitomi decided to stay with them. It made Souta really happy; he was practically jumping up and down giving yips and cries of joy while also getting weird stares and giggles from many fellow cosplayers who walked passed them.

Before making their way to where judges held "Souta's" new Fenrir, Kagome ran into Hojo (the health nut), much to her misfortune. They talked for a bit with Hojo asking where she was headed and the all-so-famous question, "Are you free this weekend?" The others in the background just made an exasperated sound thinking, 'when will he get a clue?!'

While Kagome just answered, "Shoot, sorry Hojo. I'm spending this weekend with my family." She mentioned them behind her. "So I can't. Maybe another time?"

'Like not EVER? Gods, he'll never leave me be!' Kagome thought, internally crossed. She was near her last shred of patience with this guy and him asking her every single time he saw her.

"Oh… don't worry, I completely understand. Family is more important as they say." Hojo said with a smile. An aura of slight disappointment came off of him despite his fake smile, along with the slight dark aura that Kagome had felt similar to the unknown stalker all day and the same one she felt from him during the contest.

With a "maybe next time or maybe this Halloween," they went they're separate ways, but not without Sesshoumaru noticing that slight snarl and darkening of the boy's eyes before he walked passed him.

"You sensed it, too?" It was more of a statement than a question on Shippó's part. He didn't like the way Hojo's aura became dark and cold and the way his expression changed. The five-hundred-plus year old fox demon never did like this Hojo, unlike Akitoki.

The clumsy ancestor had a pure heart of gold, more than his descendant. If Shippó had to choose between mortals, he would've chosen Akitoki to be Kagome's mate. Not the descendant.

"Yes. We'll have to keep an eye out for him." Sesshoumaru didn't like the boy either. Not with him always asking his dear younger sister out so many times without giving up. This Hojo was worse than his ancestor. 'At least he knew when to quit and move on.' Sesshoumaru thought.

With a sigh, Kagome spoke, "Will he ever leave me alone?"

"Doubt it. Not unless you find a boyfriend or long term lover." Hitomi answered with a straight face and the others agreeing.

"That was a rhetorical question." Kagome frowned.

"But I answered, none the less." The younger girl smirked.

'Smart ass.' Kagome thought as she walked away to where the Fenrir was held. After getting the bike and giving the address to the guys who would ship it to the shrine, they had all agreed to go to an ice cream parlor not too far from the convention. Sesshoumaru called the driver to his limo on his cell, saying that they were going to walk around for bit before heading home.

Souta was practically acting like a giddy schoolgirl, thanking Kagome for entering the contest and winning the bike for him. But about halfway to the parlor, a streetlight went out. Not being able to see where she was going and because the tips of her boots were so long, Kagome tripped on a crack in the sidewalk only to fall into a portal, when the streetlight had come on again, with the other following as they tried to catch.

When there was no trace of them left, someone came out of the shadows pulling out what looked like some type of controller and pressed a button with a click, making the portal in the side walk vanish.

And with a smirk and crazy glint in his eye, the person who was obviously male spoke to himself, "With step one complete, it's time to move on the step two and see how well they'll adapt in a different world. I'll be sure to make you proud father."

(Okay, I know that part may have seemed hurried but I was really trying to get this done)

-------------- Another Dimension, at Edge ---------------

The wind blew light enough to tousle hair and pick up dust. It felt very cool to Kagome's face as she became conscious. Picking herself to sit on her knees, Kagome took in her surroundings. Finding her family out cold on the ground not too far from where was, Kagome went to check on them to see if they were okay.

After checking all of them, Kagome was relieved to find that they were just unconscious with no injuries of the sort. Taking in her surroundings again while she waited for the others to, Kagome asked herself, "Where are we?"

YES! Chapter two finally done! This was a treat for Halloween to all my readers. Tell me what you thought about it. And I'm sorry if some parts to the story seemed a bit rushed, I was really trying to get it done for Halloween.

So, Happy Halloween everybody!

Next time on "Red Stands For More Than Blood"…

Kagome and the others land in a deserted area, called Edge after falling into some type of vortex and start their way to the nearest city where Souta said was Midgar.

It's Hallows Eve in Midgar… Trick or Treaters and masqueraders at every corner along with music and entertainment of all kinds… With a lot of dancing on Kagome, Souta, Shippó, and Hitomi's part to get some easy money…

Find out what happens in the next chapter…

"Halloween in Midgar, Masquerading as AVALANCHE"

See ya' then!
