Sorry I took long to update. Thanks for the reviews. Enjoy.

Warning: Slight cursing

It was early in the morning; Kagome was getting ready to go to school. Throughout the whole process of preparing she stared into space. Her mind was on what happened the night before.

After Shizuo dragged her away from Izaya, he just took her home. She knew he was pissed off because he didn't talk to her the whole way. The only thing he said to her that night was a 'goodnight' and left to his home. She was pretty depressed that night, when she got into her house; she remembered where she heard Izaya's name before.

A ten year old Kagome was sitting in a swing; she seemed to be waiting for someone. I'm so bored, Shizu-chan really is taking long, she thought. She looked around to see what to do, and huffed when she noticed that no one was around.

She jumped when she felt someone pat her head. She turned her head to see who it was, Shizuo.

"Jeez Shizu-chan you scared me." She huffed out. Shizuo just muttered a sorry.

"So, how was your fist day at high school? Good?" She asked while swinging.

"If you call meeting a fucking asshole good, than yeah, it was good." He told her. He put his bag on the ground and started to push her on the swings.

"Hmm, and who is this person?" She asked curiously.

"Izaya Orihara." He said it with so much hatred that she actually thought he would go on a rampage.

"Was he the one that did that to you?" She asked, looking at his shirt. It had a slash on the front with some blood on it.

"Yeah." He simply said.

She didn't ask any more questions. They stayed in the park for a while, just hanging out on the swings. They started to leave when they saw it was getting dark.

"Ne, ne, Shizu-chan?"

"Hmm?" He hummed in question.

"Can I have a piggy back ride?" She asked him. Shizuo sighed, "Fine."

"Yay!" She exclaimed happily. Shizuo squatted down and allowed her to get on. When he knew she was ready, he stood up and started walking again.

"I'm sleepy." She said, yawing.

"Then go to sleep." Shizuo said. Kagome just nodded.

"We will always be together, right Shizu-chan?" She murmured, half asleep by now.

"Yeah, always." He told her. This made her smile, "Love you, Shizu-chan." She said before falling asleep.

"Me too, Kagome." He answered, even though he knew she was already asleep.

She sighed at her thoughts; the memories of her childhood. Her thoughts where broken when she heard someone knocking on her door.

"Coming!" She called out.

When she opened the door, she was quite surprised. Standing there was Shizuo, wearing his usual bartender outfit.

"Shizu-chan, what are you doing here?" She asked him.

"I'm walking you to school. I don't want that asshole getting close to you." He said, the last part being more of a growl.

"But aren't you mad at me?" Kagome asked, nervous about his answer.

Shizuo's eyes softened, he put his hand out and patted her head. "I'm not mad at you, I'm mad at him for being around you." This made Kagome smile; she really wanted to tease him right now.

"Aww, is Shizu-chan jealous." She cooed, all the tension going away.

Shizuo growled, "I'm not jealous. Now let's go, you're going to be late." He turned around and started to walk away, and if you looked closely, you could see a tiny blush forming on his cheeks.

Kagome never noticed it, but giggled at his response. "Hey wait for me!" She called out following him out the door.

"Well, I guess I'll see you later." Kagome said, both standing in front of the school gates.

"Yeah. Wait for me here after school." He said, ignoring everyone that was staring.

Kagome gave him a questioning look, "You're picking me up too?"

Shizuo just nodded, "I need to go, don't get into trouble, alright." He patted her head and left.

"He still treats me like a child." Kagome muttered out. She sighed and started to walk towards the school building, the school days are about to start.

School passed by slowly, people didn't seem to want to talk to her because she knew Shizuo. She didn't really care about that. During lunch, she went to the roof top and found Mikado, Masaomi, and Anri eating lunch. They offered her to sit with them and so she did. Of course, sitting with them came with Masaomi asking her about Shizuo and Izaya.

"How did you know Izaya?" He asked.

"He saved me from a group of guys and then dragged me all over town." She simply said.

"And you allowed him to?" Masaomi asked incredulously. "Yeah." She answered, everyone just sweat dropped at her reply.

"My dear Kagome-chan, you are too trusting. You can't just follow a stranger all over town. What if he tried to do naughty things or maybe kill you." Masaomi said, panicking at the end. This time everyone sweat dropped at his actions.

"I knew Izaya-san wasn't going to do anything bad, and besides, he seemed to be a fun person." No one said anything else about Izaya.

"And how do you know Shizuo, Kagome-chan?" This time Mikado asked.

"Hmm, Shizuo and I knew each other since I was three, we practically grew up together." She said, almost finished with her lunch.

"Then you know what he could do, right?" Masaomi asked.

Kagome nodded, "Shizuo has always been like that, I got used to it. Actually, I was there when he started having super strength." She giggled when she remembered. "Shizuo snapped when he saw Kasuka eating his yogurt. He lifted the refrigerator up and was about to throw it him when he broke a bone. I was quite surprised at first, but then it became an everyday thing. It doesn't faze me when he goes on a rampage." She said, everyone blinked at her.

After school she saw Shizuo waiting for her at the school gates. They walked, with them making small conversation, yet on their way home they met with someone she hasn't spoken to. It was the person on the motorcycle the day before.

"Yo." Shizuo simply said. The rider just nodded in greeting, but then looked at me.

Shizuo knew what she wanted. "Celty this is Kagome. Kagome this is Celty."

"Konnichiwa Celty-san." Kagome said stretching her hand out. Celty inclined her head and did the same, shaking hands. When they finished, Celty got her cellphone and started to write something. When she finished, she showed it to Kagome. "Nice to meet you Kagome-san."

Kagome blinked at first, but then smiled at her, "It's nice to meet you too."

Shizuo noticed that they were already becoming good friends with only just a greeting.

Celty started to write again, "I don't mean to be rude, but I thought your kind was extinct. How do you even have that power?"

Shizuo looked surprised at what she said, what did she mean? "Really? Never knew that. And to answer your question, you could say I was born with them, but I never knew I had them until I turned fifteen. Something big happened, but that should be left in the past." Kagome said, waving out the last part. Shizuo was officially lost now; he didn't know what the heck they were talking about.

"I see." Celty wrote.

"And what about you Celty-san? What are you doing in a place like this? Aren't you supposed to keep a low profile on the supernatural?" Kagome asked.

"I'm here looking for my head, someone in this town has it and the only way to find it is going around and investigating. It would be hard for me to hide and try finding it."

"Ah, I see. When then, that means I'll be helping you in your search." Kagome said. Celty was about to protest, but Kagome interrupted her, "I won't accept no for an answer. I could be very stubborn, just ask Shizu-chan."

Celty looked at Shizuo and saw him nod in response. She just gave up; no need arguing when said person would never give up.

"Thank you Kagome-san. I need to go now, have a job to do. See you." Celty wrote before leaving. Kagome just waved at her.

Both Shizuo and Kagome continued their trek home. "So, what did she mean when she said that your kind was extinct?" Shizuo asked suddenly. Kagome just realized that Shizuo doesn't know anything about what they were talking about.

"You see, I'm a miko." She said, hoping he would know what that was.

"The ones that purify demons?" Shizuo asked.

"Yeah, we have the power to purify people that have a demonic aura, heal, and create barriers. I knew Celty-san wasn't human, so that's why I wasn't surprised when I met her."

"I see." Shizuo said, not asking anymore about it. He believed what she said, anything can happen in this world, look at him, he isn't something that someone would call normal nor is Celty. So why shouldn't he believe in demons.

Their way home was calming, yet something big was about to happen on that minute. And you could see why when they saw someone standing a couple of blocks away from their apartment building. Izaya Orihara, he was standing there looking them with his infamous smirk.

"Hello, Kagome-chan."
