Ch 4

"I…"Ms. Raisch started looking around her eerily feeling the present of others but a thick black fog seemed to have seeped into her vision allowing her to see naught but directly in front of her. She shrugged it off, knowing the only possible thing it could be was exhaustion, for no could break in to the compound unaware and no one would go against orders and be out of bed. "I was just trying to remember if I put away all the files I used today," she said finally, and then with a click of heels they strolled away.

"Gods! That war terrifying!" Rin exclaimed whisper sound deafening in the following silence.

"Let's move before another scare," Kagome ordered standing.

Moments later they stood stunned to a halt -they made it- before gamely scaling the fence.

For the first time in their lives, they stood outside the only home they knew, without orders, without a superior, without a clue of where they would go or do. Nevertheless, they knew they had to go. They couldn't dally some was bound to come after them, hopefully by then they'd be long gone.

"We'd better go before our luck runs out and they find something amiss." Kagome a natural born leader was the first to come of the trance like wonder of the moment, so she took charge. Silently they ran, and ran, always North a straight path away from their past.

"I'll be B," the one who had remained silent until now quickly proclaimed.

"Great" the final one sighed. "That leaves me Number Two."

"So we gave you our names, who are you?" Number One demanded.

"Why I'm 10-28." Kagome offered in a suddenly friendly tone.

"And your two mute friends? They got names?"

"Of course 10-30" She gestured to Sango, "and 11-16."

"Hmm, or" he began, stepping up to Kagome a foot separated them, "Mine, will do as well." As he said the last, his friends stepped to Rin and Sango. Number One's hand snaked out to try to capture her. But she proved to nimble as she instantly took a step out of reach, Rin and Sango didn't hesitate, they turned and fled Kagome at their heels making sure they didn't slow or the men lunge at their vulnerable backs.
