Kagome had decided to leave her room. She slowly descended down the stairs, she saw the group standing there. Their faces were shown with concern, but Kagome discarded their worries as she walked passed them. She didn't care, right now. She saw herself as this disgusting creature, a monster. She didn't want the group to know her horrible secret, but deep down she knew that they knew something was up, and she tried to hide what was really to have become of her. She walked to the parlor, and sighed, "I am fine, Jahad." She whispered,
"Its scary that you know when we are around." Jahad stated, as he sighed ever so softly, "Kagome, when are you going to tell the group? They are asking some mighty hard questions. I mean after they saw the blood soaked towel. Hell, my maid had to clean up the damn mess, because the towel was dripping the crimson of your sins." Jahad stated,
"Oh, let me tell them the truth! THE TRUTH THAT I AM A FUCKING MONSTER!" Kagome screamed, not caring if anyone heard her, "Its hard enough that I lost Meiko once, I can't lose her again. I mean..." Kagome was cut off,
"If she walks away once knowing your secret, then she is a bitch." Jahad shrugged, "Look Kagome, sometimes it comes down to this sort of decision, you can keep living in sin, by living by nothing but lies. Or you can grow some cojones and tell the group." Jahad shrugged, "But that is all on you." Jahad stated, as he now slid open the doors, and walked out.
Kagome knew that Jahad was right, but this seriously could lead to some dire consequences, and in order to face them. Kagome had to tell them. Her hues just let the dance of the flickering flames take ahold of her now true colored hues. Her hues were actually purple, and sometimes they would glow, but deep down, Kagome knew where Jahad was coming from, due to the fact she knew that the group was asking questions, "Why did I allow my soul...Become this..." Kagome asked herself within her own thoughts.
OoOoOoOo
Len saw Jahad exit the room, "Jahad..." Len went to go on, but was immediately cut off,
"Look, you want answers ask Kagome. I will not mum a fucking word. Its not my tale to tell. So, you want answers, ask her." Jahad shrugged, as he walked away from the group,
"Do we even ask?" Luka asked, "She saved our hides a lot of times. I mean she saved us." Luka sighed, "So, why are we asking her of her good nature?" Luka asked,
"We need answers, Luka." Meiko stated,
"You are one to talk, you stuck up bitch!" Luka spat, "I wanted answers to why you fucking raped me! And all you could tell the damn group...Was what? You were in love with me...Right...Come on, Meiko, lets face the facts here. A true person who is in love with another would have simply told them. But you were to of a fucking coward!" Luka spat out, as she was now in her face, "I should fucking rearrange your damn smirking face. You piss me off!" Luka was pulled back by Gumi,
"Now now, lets not act like children. Look, Meiko and Len. I agree with Luka, we shouldn't be asking questions that there may or may not be answers too. And besides, why is it so damn important to you, Meiko? Are you afraid that she is cheating on you, and the blood we saw was someone that was fucking her on the plane. Lets face the facts, you are a heavy sleeper. She could have easily gotten up, fucked the flight attendant, and came back to the seat without your know how. But hey, we all have secrets, don't we, Meiko?" Gumi asked, "I do have to agree with, Luka. I would love to be there when she rearranges your face. After all, you are no better than Miku, telling Luka that she was using Luka." Gumi shrugged, "Sorry for bringing that up, Luka." Gumi looked towards Luka who was too pissed off to care, "Look, Meiko, you have no reason nor do you have the right to beg for a secret that is not to be told. If Kagome wanted us to know, would she have told us?" Gumi asked, "Whatever her secret is, I promise you, I'll stand by her." Gumi stated, "After all, she has proven herself to be a better friend than your sick cheating ass." Gumi flipped her green tresses and walked away,
Miku snickered, "You go girl." Miku giggled, as she leaned against her pink haired lover, "Meiko, she is right. And she is right on the way I acted and treated Luka. But you have this amazing girl, and all you care about is wondering about her secret...You cheated on her. You are the one who should be showing that you trust her. And yet your not. You are sad and pathetic. And to think, I was going to let you back in. And try to be friends again. But I agree with Gumi, whatever her secret is, and she is willing to tell us. I will be standing by her. She has saved our lives multiple times." Miku sighed as she heard commotion come from the room, and soon the doors opened, everyone's jaws dropped as they saw Kagome's eyes were now a glowing purple,
"I am ready to tell you." Kagome whispered, as she walked away and went towards the large living room. Soon everyone followed her, the only one that had beaten them to the room, was Gumi,
"Oh...Damn, sexy eyes." Gumi chuckled, but saw the seriousness in Kagome facial features, "Kagome..." Gumi saw Kagome's hand raised,
"Its time for you all to shut the hell up, and listen. I will be telling you what I am..." Kagome sighed, "I am what you call a soul collector. I collect souls of the people that have died..." Kagome was cut off,
"Like a Grim Reaper?" Rin asked,
Kagome only chuckled, "No. There is only one Grim Reaper. We...As in myself and others, just merely collect the souls. You see, a Grim Reaper is stuck working as the Grim Reaper all of their lives. They are soulless. But as for a soul collector, if they collect the souls, and complete whatever symbol was put on their body, they will regain their mortality and soul." Kagome sighed, as she saw everyone's facial features just show nothing but confusion, "I can tell you all are confused. A soul collector is a person that willing gives up their soul to save another. For me...I did this for Chiharu." Kagome sighed as tears began to run down her cheeks,
OoOoOoOoO
The words; 'Chiharu has been diagnosed with Cancer' rang through Kagome's ears. This was like a bad song, or nails on a chalk board. Kagome wanted to do anything in her power to save Chiharu. But she knew deep down that she couldn't. Everything had lost their color, everything was now grey. And only one thing that seemed to have color was Chiharu, even if the color was fading away. She had been visiting Chiharu constantly, and every single time, Kagome had to witness Chiharu getting even more frail, and growing even more sick. Kagome took in a deep breath, as she walked out of the room.
"Sad things happen to good people." A hushed voice stated in the darkness,
"What?" Kagome asked, she saw this beautiful female walk out, "Wh..Who are you?" Kagome asked,
"No names, Kagome. You see I know all about you. You love Chiharu, right?" The female asked,
"More...More than the world." Kagome simply replied,
"Have you ever heard about...Soul Collectors?" She asked,
"So..Soul what now?" Kagome asked,
The female snickered, "A soul collector is one that willingly gives up their soul to save another. Do not fret, you will still be alive. Just soulless, however, a soul collector must be bond to someone with a soul. Because they can't live without one. So, they are bond to one person forever. A soul collector and the person they are bond too, are immortal. Until the day, the soul collector collects all their souls that they need to collect. Then their soul is returned and so is their mortality. For instance, Kagome. You and Chiharu could become connected. You will never grow old, her cancer will be gone. You two will never be sick, ever. And the best part, a soul collector can take their sweet ass time collecting their souls." The female smiled, her hues were a bright crimson that glowed in the darkness, then again, Kagome couldn't even see the female, just her eyes,
"Wh..What do I have to do?" Kagome asked, as the question fell from her lips. She saw a contract in her hands, and she yelped as she felt a sharp object her skin, and soon her blood became the ink of the feathered tipped pen,
"All you have to do is sign." The female stated, "And Chiharu will get better." The female lied, she knew that Chiharu was way to far gone, but she was willing to let Chiharu live longer, than the doctors expected. The day Chiharu died, the female even wept, she saw Kagome run to her,
"YOU LIED TO ME!" Kagome hiccuped through her tears, "Wh..What have I done?! I should have killed myself with her!" Kagome yelled,
"Ah, yes, but that would never happen." The female stated, as she began to count down from ten, and soon Kagome saw her sister being rushed into the hospital, "Funny how life has a strange twist of events...You can save your sister, or become a selfish bitch and let her die too. Your choice." The female stated, and soon she saw the soul of Hitomi bind to the body of Kagome, "I will see you soon." She stated, as she said that a male came and took Kagome's soul.
Kagome stood there in front of the room where Chiharu had died, and saw her sister walk out of her own. Kagome was stuck in a dumbfounded way, as she just saw her sister walk out as if nothing had happened, "Hi...Hitomi..." Kagome whispered,
OoOoOoO
Everyone now looked from Kagome to Hitomi, "Wh..Whoa wait you two are bound to each other?!" Len asked,
"It would seem so." Hitomi finally spoke, "My soul is bound to her body. And she protects me. Now, don't get yourself confused with the story of Ciel and Sebastian from Black Butler. I can't order her to do something, but she, however, is my personal bodyguard." Hitomi stated, with a sly smile, "I know this is a lot..." Hitomi was cut off,
"Wait...You lied to us! Both of you?!" Rin asked angrily, "How old are you really?!" Rin asked,
"I am twenty-two. And Kagome is a year older than I. Rin..." Hitomi went to touch Rin,
"Don't...I hate you...Both of you. You may have protected us. But that doesn't give you the right to lie to us!" Rin yelled, as she shook her head, "I...I am leaving." Rin whispered, as she immediately called the taxi company, and got a taxi headed her way, "I rather be around people that do not lie to me. Who is with me?" Rin asked, she saw Meiko and Kaito rise, "Len...Aren't you coming?" Rin asked her twin,
"No, and here is why. Kagome is my friend. And so what she is a soul collector. She is still my friend. Liar or not, Rin. She saved us so many times. Her and Hitomi both. Jahad and Sahar stuck their necks out for us, and what are you doing? Walking away...You are sad and pathetic. And to you, Kaito. After everything we have been through, how could you just leave me..." Len was now crying, he looked towards Kagome who was now pleading with Meiko, but soon he saw Meiko hand Kagome the engagement ring,
"Its over." Meiko whispered, she now looked towards Hizumi, Akio, Michi and Dai, "Aren't you wanting away from her?" Meiko asked,
Hizumi snickered, "Look, I got to fuck a sexy soul collector." Hizumi chuckled, "And no. She is my best friend. I guess you can say, I am not as shallow as you. I guess you and that blue haired freak can fuck on a regular bases. But I rather get shot in the face, then walk away from Kagome and Hitomi. They have been there for me countless times. And I will be damned to just up and leave them. Meiko, when will you get your head out of Kaito's ass?" Hizumi asked, soon he felt a slap against his face, "Ow." He said in a mocking tone, "Have a good life bitch, prick, and bitch again." Hizumi referred to Meiko, Kaito, and Rin. They all watched them walk out of the house. Hizumi's eyes scanned over to Kagome, who was on her knees weeping. Luka went to comfort her, "No...You can't comfort her." Hizumi whispered, "I am actually surprised that...Uhm, let me try to get your names right...Luka...Miku...Uh...Gumi...Miki...And Len stayed...Did I get them right?" He asked, and watched them all nod,
"I needed to stay by Kagome's side. She has protected us." Luka stated, "I am sorry...But I will not and I refuse to walk away from these two." Luka whispered,
"I agree with Luka. I consider Kagome and Hitomi like my sisters." Miku whispered, as she saw Gumi, Luka, and Miki nod in agreement. But soon they all sat there in silence, hearing Kagome, Hitomi, and Len cry. Miki and Gumi went to comfort Len. Hitomi and Kagome comforted themselves. Kagome was officially done with Meiko, and Hitomi gave up on girls entirely, and has now decided to go back to men. Len didn't know what to do. He loves Kaito, surely, but his heart was completely broken. Things were only going to take a huge turn towards the strange and unusual.
