Chapter 10: Fresh Prey

Kagome sighed contently after putting on her clothes and looking back at her reflection. Grabbing a nearby towel, she began to dry her damp hair gently and set her eyes to check the time.

'Seven o'clock, huh?' The miko hung the towel on her desk's chair before making her way out to the kitchen. To her surprise yet relief, her mother was back to her normal doings. Cooking breakfast as usual along with her grandfather making his way to the front of the shrine to begin his duties.

Kagome looked around her surroundings: 'Where…are Inuyasha and the others?'

"Okaa-san?"

"Hm?" Kagome's mother turned her attention away from pouring the hot water onto the ceramic tea cups. "Is everything alright, Kagome?"

"I hope so," she whispered. "Where is Inuyasha?"

"Oh, Inuyasha and your friends mentioned about going to a friend's house."

'Friend's house?' Kagome's eyebrow twitched. What friend? What house? Kagome shook the inner anger that was beginning to build from them leaving without her notice. "A…friend's house?"

Kagome's mother nodded while grabbing the plates off the cabinets: "Yeah, they even came to pick them up."

"Wait…what?" Kagome took a moment to process the information in. "Did you see who it was?"

"It was our neighbor."

Kagome looked over her shoulder seeing Souta walking down the stairs while holding his game console. She turned to face him: "I-Ichigo-kun? Do you know if they mentioned when they will be back?" She was worried. Extremely worried. Why on earth would Ichigo come here to pick them up and not let them know?

Souta gave her a shrug and walked into the living room. Kagome turned back to face her mother, watching as she began to set the table.

"I believe they said they would be back before dinner," smiled her mother.

"That late?" she whispered to herself.

The hanyou's eyes scanned the small room carefully. What was with this era and having a small room to feel like a prisoner? Although he would not confess the comfort of the bed he sat on crossed legged with arms inside his haori's sleeves. He was glad that this whole school thing was taking place today. So time consuming and tortures to the brain!

His ears twitched upon hearing a page flipping. He looked down to the wooden floor, seeing the petite Shinigami flipping through a magazine. He raised an eyebrow: "Where did he go?"

"He is getting us some tea," she replied without breaking her eyes off the object in front of her.

The door slowly opened, coming in with a tray of tea, Ichigo closed the entrance with his foot. The orange head walked over his desk and set the cup of teas down and sat on his chair – sighing. Sango turned from her sitting spot on the floor to face the orange head.

"Did…Kagome-chan mention anything to you yesterday when she awoke?"

The Shinigami shook his head: "Not really. She fell asleep right after I brought her the cup of water."

"She must have told you something," Inuyasha's eyebrow raised once again.

Ichigo's view connect with the hanyou's from the corner of his eyes. "All I was able to ask what Grimmjow did to her."

"Does she know?" questioned Miroku.

"She said she felt pain," he replied and grabbed his own ceramic cup of tea.

"Pain?" whispered Rukia, coming to sit straight.

"Kagome fell asleep right after that," he closed his eyes, bringing the cup of tea to his lips.

Renji crossed his arms, leaning against the wall: "It is possible Aizen has set his eyes on Kagome then."

"It can be a possibility," Rukia sighed and closed the magazine.

"The question is…why?" Ichigo's eyebrows furrowed, his eyes set on the wooden floor.

A knock on the window broke everyone's thoughts and brought their attention to the source. The strawberry's eyes widened along with Renji's the moment they noticed an orange head female waving with a huge smile. Sango blinked, noticing that the woman was wearing the same type of black garments as the Shinigami and quickly looked to her side to see the monk's eyes sparkling at the cleavage she was presenting. Inuyasha blinked over and over again, wondering who the hell this person was.

"My, well we should be letting her in," smiled Miroku, slowly rising from his spot on the floor. Sango grasped the back of his clothing and pulled him back into his place.

"Not so fast, lecherous monk!"

Ichigo walked over to his window and slid it open: "What the hell are you doing here, Matsumoto!?"

She pouted: "Wow, so mean, strawberry."

"Answer," Ichigo's eyebrow twitched to her nickname.

She traced her pointing thumb to her side and noticed the other three Shinigami. His eyes widened realizing and catching their identity. His eyebrow came back to twitch: "What are Toshiro, Ikkaku, and Hisagi doing here?!"

Taking a sip of her tea, Rukia closed her eyes and caught the voice of a familiar captain. "We had informed Kuchiki Rukia of our coming arrival, so do not look so surprised, Kurosaki."

"W-What?!" Ichigo turned his attention back to the petite female.

"She didn't tell you?" a smirk appeared on the bald-headed Shinigami, making himself comfortable on his bed.

The hanyou blinked and narrowed his vision on the Shinigami's head: "Wow, talk about reflection."

A nerve struck on the Shinigami holding his wooden weapon in hand. He turned to face the hanyou: "Want to say that again, bastard?"

Inuyasha gave him a glare back: "Bastard?!"

"Ikkaku! Control yourself!" exclaimed Rangiku, slapping the bald-headed Shinigami on the back of his head.

"I guess I forgot to mention it," Rukia brought the tea up to her lips again.

"I have a feeling you did it on purpose," whispered Renji, raising an eyebrow.

"Probably," shrugged Rukia.

The demon slayer blinked, confused of the newcomers. She pointed to the four new Shinigami: "Who…are you all?

Rangiku blinked and sent Sango a smile: "Oh, how rude of us! We are friends' of strawberry! My name is Matsumoto Rangiku! This here, is my captain! Hitsugaya Toshiro!" she walked close to the white haired Shinigami and came closer to the other two males. "The other two are Madarame Ikkaku and Hisagi Shuhei."

"Enough with the introductions," Ichigo crossed his arms, "why are you here?"

"We have suspicion on Aizen's actions. We suspect he may be after Inoue Orihime," answered Shuhei.

"You're wrong," replied Ichigo, coming to sit on his chair. "He has another target."

Having decided to take a walk, Kagome roamed around the nearby park, trying to collect and organize her thoughts. She was content at least that her adopted son, Shippou, was having company and not having to get in the middle of the battle. The miko came to sit on a nearby swing and silently stared at the ground.

"Oh? Kagome-chan?"

Upon hearing her name, the miko looked over her shoulder to see one of Ichigo's female friends waving at her with a smile. 'Ah…it was the girl with the orange hair...'

"Ah, Orihime-chan, right?" Kagome asked, unsure if she got the name correctly.

Orhime smiled in reply: "Mhm." The said girl looked around, seeing the park completely empty. "What are you doing here?"

"I should ask you the same…being here in Tokyo from Karakura Town," blinked Kagome. She returned her gaze to the setting sun. "I guess I just wanted some fresh air."

Orihime came around to accompany her on the partnered swing. "Are you feeling alright?"

The miko nodded.

"How is…Kurosaki-kun?" she questioned; worried.

"Well, I heard he was with his friends in his house," replied Kagome. A heavy sigh escaped her lips, catching Orihime's attention.

"You don't seem to be doing well, Kagome-chan."

Kagome sent her a smile and immediately her eyes went wide at feeling her body beginning to pulse with pain. Her knees made contact with the ground as she clutched at her chest. Orihime quickly stood from the swing and knelt to her side.

"K-Kagome-chan!? Kagome-chan!? What's wrong?!"

Kagome covered her mouth from coughing and slowly retreated it with wide eyes.

Blood.

Her blood.

Frightened, Orihime looked around to see if there was a sign of life. "Anyone!? Please help!"

"Nothing will save her. Nobody can save her."

Both females slowly looked up and felt their bodies freeze at the sadistic smirk that was being sent towards them. Orihime gulped: "G-Grimmjow…"

"Where did Kagome go?" questioned Inuyasha, watching as Kagome's mother stared at the floor. After having their talk with Ichigo, him and his companions returned and hoped to speak to the miko about Ichigo's new allies. To their surprise, Kagome was nowhere in sight.

Kagome's mother sighed: "She said she was going for a walk. She needed to clear her mind."

"A walk?"

The hanyou looked over his shoulder, seeing the group of Shinigami coming to the door. Rukia raised an eyebrow: "She went for a walk this late?"

"She didn't even eat," Kagome's mother turned to the table, seeing her daughter's plate barely even picked at.

Ichigo's eyebrow furrowed, his eyes gliding to look out the shrine. 'Where are you, Kagome?'

Grasping her own shirt as the pain increased, Kagome's eyes narrowed with anger at the sight of the Espada before them. She could not let Orihime come into this conflict. No. This was her issue. "O-Orihime-chan…go tell Ichigo-kun and the others…go!"

Orihime turned her head to face the miko with the fear and worry beginning to spread on her body. She slowly began to shake her head: "I-I can't leave you like this!"

"Just go!" shouted Kagome before coughing and gripping the dirt below her nails.

Orihime slowly came to stand and took one last glance at the sixth Espada, but he had completely disappeared. She looked around and found no sign of him. 'W-Where did go?' Looking down on the miko, she nodded and ran to the only person she knew as her savior.

The Espada smirked, appearing once again in front of the weak miko. Her eyes slowly losing sight and her mind losing conscious. His smirk widened: "She should have not left you alone, miko." He squatted down in front of her before she fully collapsed. "But even if she comes with the help…there is nothing they can do. You have officially been marked as ours."
