Chapter 4: Back To Reality

Kagome stood there as still as a statue. Her face drained of all color and she looked to be as pale as a ghost. Of course she knew this was bound to happen, but she didn't expect it to happen so soon. Especially on her first day in Twilight Town.

Kagome's POV

Why? Why does there have to be a demon looking for the Shikon Jewel Shards here so soon? This is so not fair! I have to get out of here before that demon finds me. I don't want any of my new friends to get hurt . . . nor do I want them to know about my past. If anyone finds out they will think I am a freak and shun me away. I don't want that. I need to think of a way to give them the slip without them worrying about me or without them following me.

“Kagome, are you coming?” Kairi asked me again. I did hear Kairi, but I was in such a daze/shock, and to terrified to answer her.

“Is she okay? She just turned so pale all of a sudden.” Namine asked Kairi. Namine must of noticed that me and Kairi were not following the rest of the group, so she stopped to come back and get us. Everyone up ahead of us must of heard what Namine said because they all turned around and ran toward us.

“Namine is right, she does look really pale.” Said Sora.

“What happened?” Roxas asked Kairi.

“I don't know. I asked her if she was coming twice, but she just stood there.”

“Is something wrong, Kagome?” Riku asked me, with a hint of worry in his voice. I think I was only able to hear it.

Once again, I didn't answer for the same reasons as before. I was scanning all of my new friends faces to see what they were feeling. I wasn't surprised to see that Sora, Kairi, Namine, and Olette had worried expressions on, because they are the type to worry about others. I was a little surprised to see that Hayner and Roxas had a worried expression on too. But what really surprised me was that Riku also had a worried expression. If anyone were to look at him they would think he had a calm expression on his face. But when I looked deep into his turquoise eyes I could tell he was worried about me. It was kind of odd to see him worried about me, because: 1. I just met him and 2. I thought Riku was the type to hide his feelings very carefully and that he was way to proud to show them.

After I didn't answer Riku's question, everyone was looking at one another looking for an answer to why I am like this. Then Sora came up to me and began waving his hand in front of my face. “Hello? Anyone home?”

I was finally getting out of the daze/shock, as he continued to wave his hand in my face. I was getting really annoyed with that and I grabbed his hand in mid-wave in my face. I dropped his hand. “Your hands are freezing.” He said.

“Sorry.” My voice was low and shaky.

“What happened to you just now?” Asked Kairi, her voice still worried.

“I-I don't know. I just got this strange feeling, thats all.”

“Like what type of feeling?” Riku asked, the little hint of worry still in his voice, also.

My eyes downcast to the floor, suddenly finding it interesting. “I-I don't know . . . I just can't explain it.”

“Are you okay now?” Olette asked.

I looked up at my friends, and put on the best fake smile I could muster up. “Yeah, I'm fine now.” I lied. Truth be told . . . I felt like crap.

I need to think of a way to give them the slip, so I can fight that demon before it gets here for me and starts hurting people. If that demon comes here, than I'm going to have to fight it in front of everyone. Come on! Think of an excuse! Anything!

“If you are fine now we should be heading back to our dorms before curfew is up, at 9:00. We don't want the teachers nagging at us, now do we?” Roxas reminded us, as I took in the new information about school.

“If you could call them teachers.” Sora snickered, as if he was laughing at an inside joke.

“Alright, let's get out of here.” Said Riku, as he began to walk to the mall exit. Everyone began to follow him out of the mall except for me, Kairi, and Namine.

“Let's go.” Namine said to me and Kairi.

“Okay,” Kairi said with a small node, “Let's get out of here, Kagome.”

My face is pale. I am as cold as ice. And I have to get out of here before real danger happens. I got it! I got an excuse! Though I don't think they will buy it, but it is worth a shot. “Okay, I'm coming,” I said like a happy school girl, “Oh! Wait, I forgot something.”

“What did you forget?” Kairi asked me innocently.

“I forgot my bracelet at the arcade. I took it off before Riku and I started playing DDR. I can't just leave it, it's special to me. My mom gave it to me as a going away gift before I left for Twilight Town.” I lied.

“Okay, do you want us to go with you?” Namine asked.

“Yeah, maybe if we do go with you, we could find your bracelet quicker.” Kairi suggested.

I can't believe what I am hearing. They actually bought my big, fat lie! Of course I wasn't wearing a bracelet, but this is the best excuse I could think of and it is way better then nothing.

“No, thats okay. I don't want you all to get in trouble for missing curfew because of me. You and everyone else, just leave without me.”

“No, we won't leave without you. Anyway, the teachers really can't do any thing to us. Are you sure you don't want us to go with you?” Kairi asked me.

“Positive.” I reassured them. I will do anything to make sure none of them come with me.

“Okay, we will tell everyone else that you are looking for your bracelet at the arcade. We will wait for you at the mall plaza.” Namine said.

I gave her a small node. “I will try to come back as soon as possible.”

“Take your time.” Namine said with a bright smile.

“See you in a bit.” I gave them a fake, bright smile, as I ran off toward the arcade.

With Me

I ran straight past the arcade and right out the back exit of the mall. I looked behind me to make sure no one had followed or seen me run out. I ran as fast as my legs could take me, to where I sensed the demon's aura.

Normal POV

With The Group

Kairi and Namine walked up to their friends who were waiting for them at the mall plaza. Olette and Hayner were in a conversation of their own. Sora and Roxas were talking to each other and Riku was standing quietly away to the side -like a lone wolf. Sora saw that Namine and Kairi were coming. Then he noticed that Kagome was missing. “Where's, Kagome?” he asked, wondering where his new friend could possibly be.

“She forgot something at the arcade,” Kairi answered, now standing next to her boyfriend, as Namine did the same with Roxas, “She should be back in a little bit.”

“What did she forget?” Roxas asked Namine.

“A bracelet her mom gave her before she came to Twilight Town.” Namine replied to her boyfriend. “She took it off before she played DDR.”

“I don't remember her wearing a bracelet.” Riku walked up to his friends, now getting in to the conversation.

“Neither did me or Namine.” Kairi replied.

“Then why did you let her go?” Riku asked, sounding a little over protective.

“We thought maybe she had to do something else.” Kairi replied to her friend, as if it was nothing.

“Like what?” Sora asked.

Kairi thought for a moment for what Kagome could be doing right now. “I . . . don't . . . know.” She answered, dumbly. “ . . . Sorry.” She mumbled.

Riku let out a heavy sigh. “It's okay, Kairi.” He said to let Kairi know that he was not mad at her or anything.

“Yeah, it's okay, babe.” Sora said, as he gave his girlfriend a quick, reassuring kiss on the cheek.

She let out a little giggle, but it ceased when a thought, that she had been thinking about ever since she met Kagome, struck her. “Hey . . . guys . . .” She trailed off in a saddened tone. Her eyes downcast to the floor. Everyone was now paying attention to her; Olette and Hayner stopped talking and was now paying attention to the conversation everyone else was in on.

“What is it, Kai?” Olette asked her.

“What's wrong?” Sora asked with a sad expression, wondering what could possibly be bothering his girlfriend.

Kairi looked up at her friends and boyfriend with a pained expression. “I have been thinking about this while we were all hanging out with Kagome.” She let out a sigh, “It seems like she does not know who we are, I consider Kagome as friend and I was wondering . . . should we tell her who we are . . . what we did and do in our lives?”

“You know, I was thinking the same thing.” Sora said dazed, as he was lost in thought.

Riku closed his eyes and thought for a bit. “She is not of this world.” He stated in a serious tone, as he open his eyes.

“She isn't!” Hayner shouted in shock. He was the only one who did not know that Kagome was not from their world or any other world they knew of.

“You mean you haven't noticed.” Roxas said as if it was an obvious thing.

“Where is she from?” Riku asked Kairi.

“From a place called Tokyo. She told us that while we were eating.”

“She told me that, too, while we were walking to the mall.” Sora informed.

“I know that she is not from this world, but . . . can we please tell her?” Kairi pleaded. She really wanted to let her friend know who they were.

“No.” Riku said emotionlessly.

“Why not?!” Kairi asked a little mad at Riku's decision.

“Why not let her live a normal life here?”

“Huh?” Everyone said a little confused by Riku's question.

Riku let out a heavy, exasperated sigh. “I mean . . . there is only very little Heartless and Nobodies in Twilight Town now, and we can take care of them without her running into them. She just moved here, so why freak her out by telling her everything. She has no clue what Heartless and Nobodies are . . . think about it. If a Heartless or a Nobody came near Kagome and we fight it right in front of her, she will have a fucking heart attack right there. So why not let her live a normal life?”Everyone thought in a moment of silence at what Riku has just said.

Sora let a sigh and looked up at the girl he adored so, with sad eyes. “. . . Kairi . . . he's right . . . he's got a point.”

Kairi let out a sigh of disappointment. She really wanted to tell Kagome everything. But Sora was right, Riku did have a point. “Fine, we won't tell her,” She said reluctantly. “But what if other people try to tell her?”

“We will go around and tell people not to tell her and make announcement at school.” Riku said, as if he had already planned it all out.

“What if they don't listen?” Hayner asked.

“Believe me they will listen. I mean, who wants to mess with the most strongest teens in Twilight Town?”

“Seifer and his gang.” Everyone answered in unison, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

Riku put on a smirk. “We can take care of him.” He said as he hit his fist into the palm of his hand.

“You bet we can!” Sora yelled, cheerfully excited.

“I hope you guys are right. And I hope we made the right choice . . .” Kairi said in a low voice, so no one could here her.

Kagome's POV

With Me

`I know where this demon is leading me.' I thought to myself as I ran through The Woods I was in earlier. I ran further until I reached the opening to The Old Mansion. I walked out of the dark, dense woods into the last bit of light there was from the sunset. There it was. The demon stood right in front of The Old Mansion and was about 15 feet away from me.

The demon was very ugly and fat. The sight might have made a normal teenage school girl cry in fear or in disgust, but I was not a normal teenage school girl. `No'. I was a abnormal teenage school girl with one fucked up past. One I just can't seem to run away from no matter how hard I try or no matter where I go. I was used to the disgusting sight of a demon, it was something I used to see everyday of my life two long months ago. `Aww, hell . . . now the painful memory of the past is back.'

I gave the fat demon a death glare, hating him for bringing up the past I tried so hard to forget. Oh, how I whish my death glare would kill it, but I knew it wouldn't no matter how much I wished it to. I had to do it the old fashion way. Kick its ass.

It was silent all around us. There were no sounds at all, not even crickets were chirping for the upcoming night. It was deathly quite.

“HA HA HA!” The demon let out a booming laugh that killed the silence. I almost jumped out of my skin because of the sudden loud sound. “I finally found you,” He continued, “After all this time.”

What the hell is this demon talking about. Tokyo is only 4 hours away. He must have had a real bad sense of direction to take him a while to get to me.

“Now I can finally get the Shikon Jewel Shards from you, miko.” He hissed.

“Over my dead body!” I said, getting into fighting stance.

“So you wish to die protecting the shards, miko?”

I flipped a few strands of my raven hair over my shoulder with my hand. “No . . . but if I must than I will!” My voice was shaky first, but it grew strong in the end. I clenched the shard bottle that was around my neck - as always -, it was safe from anyone's view because it was tuck away behind my shirt. A long time ago, back when I used to go to the feudal era, I vowed to protect the jewel shards from all evil . . . and if that means my own death to protect them . . . then so be it.

“Then let me have the honor of your death!”

I held out my hands and summoned my miko powers. My hands were covered with pink energy and soon my bow and arrows were in my hands. A little something I learned from Kaede.

“Bring it.” I said through clenched teeth.

`This battle is on!'
