What did it mean? Who is after them and what do they want. "I don't give two hells if I'm dead Kagome. I'll protect you and that's a damn promise," he said

"Uhhh, what are you doing out here sis?"
Kagome rubbed her eyes, it was still dark out so it must have been an hour or two that she fell asleep. "Sou-Souta?" she questioned seeing her brother standing in front of her as she was with her back against the sacred tree.
"Yeah, who else would it be? Your friend, Sango, was wondering why it was taking you so long to go back inside. I'm starting to wonder why you are out here too," Souta said as he gave Kagome a curious look.
From the corner of her eye she noticed that Inuyasha was on the same branch in which she saw him when she came out to talk to him. His back was to her but his ears was twitching in their direction listening to their conversation. "It's just peaceful here," Kagome told Souta as she brushed her clothing, getting rid of the dirt off her uniform.
The two siblings walked back inside the house. Kagome was greeted by her mother who was in the kitchen fixing up dinner. "Hi honey. I just met your friend Sango, she's really nice. What were you doing outside? You know you could catch a cold out there," her mother told her.
"It's nice outside mama. And why don't we talk later at dinner, i'll have to talk to Sango," Kagome said getting two chocolate chip cookies from a jar that was placed on the kitchen counter, then she walked upstairs.
Mrs. Higurashi smiled as her daughter left the room. "They are just having a girl talk Souta," she told her son who had a dazed gaze. "Girls are weird," he said as he reached for a cookie that was in a jar. His mother slapped his hand lightly,"After dinner." Souta groaned and crossed his arms,"No fair sis gets one and her friend too." Mrs. Higurashi let out a small laugh,"That is because your sister eats a lot."
"But I'm a growing boy, I need food in my system," Souta whined. "Alright you can get a cookie," Mrs. Higurashi said as she turned around to finish making dinner. Souta reached for two chocolate chip cookies. When his hand was about to come out from the jar and race into the living room. His mother shot him a look with a brow raised up,"Only one dear."
Back upstairs with Kagome and Sango, the girls were eating the half bitten cookies that were in their hands. They were sitting on the floor."So what took you so long?" Sango questioned. Kagome could feel herself burn up a bit.
I can believe I did that. He must have been very uncomfortable with what I did, she thought thinking back at how she touched Inuyasha's cheek in an affectionate but concerned way.
"Kags," Sango began.
"Hm?" Kagome said avoiding the prying eyes of the demon slayer.
"You are blushing. What did you and ghost boy do outside?" she asked then her jaw dropped,"Ne-nev-nevermind I don't even want to know," Sango slapped her cheeks and fanned herself.
"S-sango it isn't anything like you are thinking," Kagome said. "Don't be so dramatic," Kagome continued,"W-we were just...just. Ugh! Itouchedhischeekanditalmostfeltlikehewastherewithm e,"she said really fast trying to draw in air into her lungs, then starting back again.
"Then...then, iaskedhimifhetrustedme...hesaidofcourse," Kagome got up and paced around the room. "Withthatanswerismiled a-and andthewayhesmileditmademyheartbeatso...fast."
"Kags," Sango said trying to make her friend slow down.
"Sango what do I do?!" Kagome bursted with her hands wailing in the air. Inuyasha was no where to be seen and it was probably the only opportunity to tell her friend now.
"First off," Sango began to say,"I didn't understand a word you were saying. Second, relax and breathe in and out and tell me what happened."
Kagome gradually nodded and drew in a few breaths.
"When we were outside I knew something was up. I asked him if he was alright but he told me to go away," Kagome began to tell her.
"Uh huh."
"I was really concerned so I kindatousdhadjfds," Kagome mumbled and looked back at the floor.
Sango crossed her arms and arched a brow,"You what...?" imitating the raven haired girl who was turning red like a hot chili pepper.
"I touched his cheek and oh I forgot to tell you that i can actually touch him," Kagome said but her eyes widened at the way Sango's face went pale and blank,"Sango not like that! Oh jeez, your making it so hard to talk to," Kagome told her as she hit her forehead.
The brunette grinned,"Making people feel uncomfortable is one of my many abilities."
Kagome rolled her eyes playfully,"Sure," she said.
"Are you stalling or is it that you don't want to tell me the rest?" Sango asked tilting her head to the side.
"Then we kinda got closer and he placed his hand on mine," Kagome raised her hand and placed it on her heart that was now beating ten fold. "I asked him if i trusted him and he said he did. Afterwards i fell asleep with my head on his shoulder," she rubbed the back of her neck embarrassed to tell her.
"Woah, so it seems you and ghost boy have some relationship going on," Sango said with smile of amusement.
"Sango what do I do?" Kagome asked once more.
"Hmmm it seems that ghost boy has you in a ghostly trance," Sango muttered and noticed the horrified look written across Kagome's face. "I'm only joking," Sango teased.
The raven haired girl turned serious,"This isn't time for jokes!"
"Alright don't get your knickers in a knot," Sango said. "What does that even mean!" Kagome hung her head down to the floor.
"Kags, do you need to take a chill pill or do I have to knock some sense into your brain?" Sango recommended.
"I think a glass of water will be alright for now," Kagome said as she uneasily inched away from the taijiya and also laughing nervously.
"Kagome, Sango, dinner is ready," Kagome heard her mother call from downstairs.
"C'mon Sango let's go," Kagome said. The girls went to the dining room where they met up with the rest of Kagome's family.
Mrs. Higurashi made a dinner buffet, everything looked and even tasted delicious. Sango sat next to Kagome, Souta was directly across from his sister. Kagome's grandfather was giving Sango glares still believing that she was a demon.
"Papa, Sango is a human. Relax a little," Kagome's mother told her father-in-law as she set plates with food in front of them. "Everything looks great, Mrs. Higurashi," Sango told her. "Thank you dear," Mrs. Higurashi told her before sitting down next to Souta. The five of them ate their food and cleaned everything that was on the table.
"Thanks for the food mom," Kagome told her. Mrs. Higurashi smiled,"Your welcome hun," she walked away to the kitchen to wash the remainder of the plates that were left.
Souta was now in the living room watching tv until his mother told him to go to sleep. Their grandfather was already asleep. Mrs. Higurashi was closing up the shrine until she said goodnight to the girls and went to her room to rest.
Sango and Kagome walked back upstairs, got ready for bed and slipped to their own beds. "It's so quiet here," Sango whispered, she was lying down on a futon at the bottom of Kagome's bed. "I know. I think i'm going to get that glass of water now," Kagome told her as she got off her bed and went to the kitchen.
As she drank half a cup of water she looked outside and saw something move. She thought it was Buyo and decided to check it out.
"Buyo you fatty, get your feline butt back inside," she whispered as she stepped outside. Kagome walked by the other end of the shrine. Suddenly a hand slapped over her mouth, Kagome wanted to let out an ear piercing scream. "Mmmhmm!" she muffled. Who is this? Someone! Anyone! Help!
