Chapter Nine: Tension and a "visitor"


The sun filtered through the blinds of Kagome's bedroom as she slept. She didn't want to get up yet, for the past couple of days had been hell for her. The hidden well somehow wouldn't let her pass through to the feudal era where InuYasha was. Her uncle had been keeping a close eye on her since he found her unconscious and at the bottom of the well. And the weirdest thing was that Koga was dead.


Giving up on trying to go back to sleep, Kagome tossed the blankets off her body and climbed out of bed. She kept going over that day in her mind. Nothing really fit together with the facts. How could Koga have been at the shrine telling her to go back to the feudal era when he was shot and killed while she was in the shower earlier that morning? If she was Kikyo's reincarnation, how was Kagome able to see the priestess by the Goshinboku tree? Didn't Kagome have her soul, but not her spirit or personality? Everything was just too confusing for her to process all at once, she was supposed to be getting on with her life; finishing school, getting married at some point and time. Kagome was supposed to grow old and have kids, to forget about that one month where life seemed to be unrealistic, a mere fantasy. She had to move on.


Going over to her dresser, Kagome pulled out a pair of red sweats and a white t-shirt and quickly got dressed. Putting her up into a high ponytail and brushing her teeth, she went downstairs, her uncle must have already left for work. She went into the kitchen and headed straight into the refrigerator where she pulled out a loaf of bread, producing a slice or two from the plastic bag she closed the fridge door with her foot and walked over to the counter.


Tossing the loaf of bread onto the counter, Kagome munched on the bread as she poured herself a cup of hot coffee. Humming to Something Corporate's "Runaway" to herself she didn't notice that her uncle was seated at the table, silently watching her while he ate a bowl of cereal.


"There's no time to waste Kagome, we have a busy schedule today," He said loudly.


Kagome spun around, spilling her coffee over the tile floor. She hadn't seen her uncle at the table and he kind of scared her. Frowning at all the spilt coffee, she cursed under her breath as she put her coffee cup back onto the counter.


"What did you say?" Her uncle demanded irritably.


Grabbing a few paper towels from a cabinet above the kitchen sink, Kagome got onto her hands and knees and moped up her miss, completely ignoring her uncle's question.


"Don't pretend you didn't hear me Kagome!" He growled dropping the spoon into his bowl, "I asked you a question!"


"I SAID SHIT!" She growled glaring at her uncle, "SHIT! OKAY I SAID FUCKING SHIT!"


Standing up suddenly, Kagome's uncle loomed over her, a scowl on his face and a finger pointing in her direction, "Watch your mouth young lady!"


She wasn't going to go through this again, it was all too familiar for her and she didn't want to be dragged back down into the train wreck that she called a life before love. Slowly getting onto her feet, Kagome stared at her uncle, her hands clenching at her sides.


"I'm not afraid of you!" She spat venomously.


"Get out of my face before I do something that I'll regret later" He hissed pointing towards the door.


Kagome "hmphed" and spun around leaving the house. She had seen the anger in his eyes, the rage; he had wanted to strike her, but he didn't. Slamming the door behind her, Kagome took off in a run towards the well house. Somehow she had to try and get back to the feudal era, she had to find a way to get back to InuYasha. Blinking back her tears, she tried to slide the door open to the well house, but it was locked. Fear radiated off her body as she stared at the pad lock. Her uncle was keeping her outside, trapped in her own time.


Crying out in frustration, she dropped to her knees as the tears came. Her uncle was turning into her father each day. He was becoming distant, cold, and angry. How it happened, she didn't know, but she was certain that she wouldn't have InuYasha to save her this time, she wouldn't survive if the past relieved itself. Fleeing the well house, Kagome went to the only other place where she was positive that somebody would be able to hear her heart's pleading cry. Once she reached the Goshinboku tree, Kagome stared at it, something was not right with it. There was a type of puncture wound a little ways up and around it the bark of the tree was a dark brown, almost black.


'When did this happen?' Kagome asked herself as she sat down on the ground, 'What is going on? Why is my life reliving the past? Why cant I escape my nightmares?'


Closing her eyes, Kagome took deep breaths, trying to relax and straighten out her jumbled mind. Her grandfather had taught her how to meditate, he had always thought that he was some kind of priest with magical powers. That one day Kagome would grow up and become a priestess, taking care of the shrine. He had told her almost every night that he could feel the energy radiating off her body in waves. She was destined to be something big, but who listens to their grandfather after her puts a fork in the toaster and screams about evil spirits possessing the object to get inside our bodies and used us like puppets while the spirits stole your soul? Well obviously Kagome never took him seriously.


~~O~~


He couldn't believe how a small argument could've gone way out of hand. He usually was a very calm person, not letting the simplest things get him mad, but ever since he had found Kagome he'd become more protective over her. Lee loved her like the child he was unable to have. And ever since he'd found her unconscious and down I the well, he had somehow snapped. Always paranoid for her safety, not wanting to see a hair on her head harmed. He took drastic precautions, for instance, he attached a padlock to the well house door so Kagome wouldn't be able to fall in again, but for some reason he knew that she would eventually get back inside the well house, so he would have to board it up again, just to keep her safe.


Walking into the bathroom, Lee turned on the cold water and splashed some onto his face. He was beginning to have a headache and he just didn't know how to handle things anymore. Parenting was like a swift kick in the ass, one wrong move and you're royally screwed. Reaching up into the cabinets, he pulled out a bottle of aspirin and took two before going back into the kitchen and putting away his dishes. Lee had to leave in two hours for work, but when he was in a weird mood like this he didn't want to leave Kagome all alone in the house, or at the shrine in a matter of fact. It was dangerous, who knows what kind of people were lurking around for an unsupervised teenaged girl? And as if somebody was listening to his unspoken thoughts, the phone began to ring. Sighing heavily, Lee shuffled his way to the cordless and cleared his voice before answering.


"Higurashi residence, this is Lee speaking," He answered in a 'happy go-lucky' voice.


"Good morning Mr. Higurashi, how are you today?" A young man replied cheerfully.


"Why Hojo is that you?" Lee said becoming genuinely happy.


There conversation had dragged on forever and each minute Lee's smile grew wider. He liked Hojo, the boy had a gentle vibe about him. The kid was always smiling and never could be brought down. He wasn't that bad looking either, with sandy brown hair, hazel eyes and a good strong hand shake. Over all the boy carried himself like how a man should. To Lee, Hojo was perfect, and the best thing was that the boy had a thing for his niece. For his own advantage, today Lee was going to play "match maker".


"So is Kagome around?" Hojo asked hesitantly.


"Yes she is Hojo, but you see she's kind of upset." Lee told the boy, not lying, but not completely telling the truth. "I think she's depressed.


"Why is that Mr. Higurashi? Is everything okay over that the shrine?" Hojo questioned worriedly.


Lee thought for a moment before answering, "I'm not sure or anything, but I'm worried for her. None of her friend's have been around and she's shutting herself out from the world"


"Is it okay if I come to see herI mean to visit her?" The young boy said rather quickly.


Lee laughed, "Sure Hojo, she can sure use some attention. When you get here go to the Goshinboku tree. She is currently sitting there as we speak"


"Okay I will," Hojo replied, "Thank you Mr. Higurashi."


"No problem my boy, see you in a few."


"Bye." and then they both hung up, Lee with a big smile pursing his lips.


~~O~~


Kagome had been meditating for a while now, her mind was relatively clear and she had just began to decipher through the whole ordeal that happened through the well when she heard a faint voice call her name. She wasn't sure who it was, but she pushed it out of her mind as she continued to concentrate. Pictures of her friend's, family and her life flashed in front of her closed eyes, she could practically see the sacred tree surrounded by a luscious green forest, birds chirping and the sound of the wind blowing through the leaves and were all that she could swear that she could barely hear.


She could see him sitting there underneath the sacred tree, he looked so real the way his amber eyes lit up when he saw her. The way his long silver hair fluttered when he ran to her, the scent of earth and of the forest as she embraced him, her head burring in his chest inhaling his long forgotten scent. Again she could hear someone calling her name and still she tried to ignore it. She was in InuYasha's arms again and that's where she wanted to stay. Kagome knew deep down that she was only dreaming because there was no warmth in their embrace and it left her only feeling even more empty and alone than before.


Torn from her thoughts when someone's hand gripped her should, Kagome cried out in shock as her eyes shot open. At first it was all blurry, but after a few times of constant blinking, and rubbing her eyes they adjusted to the amount of light around her.


"Inu--Hojo?" She gasped, "What are you doing here?"


Hojo let go of Kagome and hid his hands behind his back as he smiled widely. "I cam to see how you are doing.. Is this a bad time? " he asked concerned.


"Oh, no it's not that." Kagome said uneasily, "I just wasn't expecting anybody. I mean I look all messy"


Hojo laughed a bit as he extended one of his hands out in front of her, "It's okay you look fine Higurashi."


Kagome smiled as she took his hand and stood up, brushing ff her sweats. She as kind of happy that Hojo had showed up. Maybe some physical contact with people her own age would be good for her.


"Would you like a drink?" Kagome asked.


"No thank you Higurashi, I'm fine." He smiled down at her, "But I would like to ask if you want to come see a movie with me today?"


"Are you asking me on a date?" Kagome questioned nervously as her thoughts strayed back to the hanyou on the other side of the well.


"Only if you would like it to be one Kagome." He told her, his smile never faltering.


"Can we go ask friends?" Kagome asked as her hand rubbed the back of her neck, "Because I don't quite think that I'm ready to be dating yet.."


"No problem," He replied.


Kagome smiled and they both headed back to her house. Mysteriously her uncle was already gone, but she brushed it off. She asked Hojo if he wouldn't mind waiting in the living while she got read, he accepted and Kagome scurried up the stairs to her room and threw on a pair of denim blue jeans, a tight black shirt that barely covered her stomach and tossed on her denim jacket. Taking her hair down, she quickly brushed it and sprayed some wild flower body spray before slipping on some near by sandals and heading back down stairs to a patiently waiting Hojo.


~~O~~
