Chapter 7:

Help is on the way

 

Kagome heard the pitter patter of tiny footsteps before a weight sank onto the mattress. Kagome opened her eyes only to raise a slender hand to shield her eyes from the bright light coming from the window. Kagome groaned as the tiny being, or beings in this case, bounced on the mattress.

“Kagome! Wake up! Look, I made a new friend! Shippo!” a tiny feminine voice shouted. Kagome heard heavier footsteps when the person spoke.

“Come, Rin, let her sleep,” as Sesshomaru glanced at the half-asleep girl,” but if you are awake, breakfast is ready,” and he left. Kagome bolted up. `Shippo!' thought Kagome, once she'd remember the murder and the little boy that was now orphaned. She quickly rushed to the bathroom to get ready and change. In record time, she bounded out of her room, running down the halls to find the dining room. Once again, she wasn't watching where she was going and ran straight into Inuyasha's back; the force was enough to send her onto the floor. Kagome groaned, rubbing her backside, before looking up to see Inuyasha's stunned face. Inuyasha snapped out of his trance, of watching Kagome's beautiful face frown, and reached a hand out to help her up.

“Come on, wench, I don't have all day,” said Inuyasha, rudely. Kagome huffed and placed her tiny hand into his. But instead of using it as leverage to pull herself up, she pulled hard enough that Inuyasha fell too. The two burst out, laughing.

“Come on, let's go,” said Kagome, grinning. As he stood up, Kagome looped her arm through his and ran towards the kitchen. Everyone else had finished eating and left, so Kagome and Inuyasha were the last ones. They ate and joked around as if they'd known each other their entire lives. Kagome felt as if she'd just found a new best friend. After breakfast, they walked around the garden, until eventually; they found the children, including Shippo, in a big meadow. Kagome played hide and seek with them until she collapsed backwards onto the meadow and started singing in a sweet voice. Eventually, the children joined in.

Miracles happen, miracles happen
You showed me faith is not blind
I don't need wings to help me fly
Miracles happen, miracles happen

 

I can't imagine living my life without you now
Not ever having you around
We found our way out
(on you I can depend)
Don't have to look back to realize how far we've come
There are million reasons
I'm looking up
I don't want this to end

Nothing
Nothing should ever bring you down
Knowing what goes around will come around

You showed me faith is not blind
I don't need wings to help me fly
Miracles happen, once in a while
When you believe
(miracles happen)
You showed me dreams come to life
That taking a chance on us was right
All things will come with a little time
When You believe

There is no question we found the missing pieces
Our picture is completed
It's fallen into place
(it's fallen into place)
This is our moment, you and I are looking up
Someone is watching over us
Keeping me close
Closer to you everyday

Nowhere
Nowhere on earth I'd rather be
No one can take this away from you and me

You showed me faith is not blind
I don't need wings to help me fly
Miracles happen, once in a while
When you believe
(miracles happen)
You showed me dreams come to life
That taking a chance on us was right
All things will come with a little time
When You believe

When you believe
The soul is a shining light
When you believe
The heart has the will to fight
You can do anything, don't be afraid
We're gonna find our way

You showed me faith is not blind
I don't need wings to help me fly
Miracles happen, once in a while
When you believe
(miracles happen)
You showed me dreams come to life
That taking a chance on us was right
All things will come with a little time
When You believe

 

 

 

Kagome finished and the children clapped. Unbeknownst, Sesshomaru was hidden in the shadows of the trees, listening to the talented young woman. Soon, they returned to the mansion for dinner. Dinner was very lively; everyone acted as if they were family. They joked around, telling overly dramatic stories. After dinner, everyone gathered in the living room when Rin had an idea.

“Izayoi, Kagome sang to us this afternoon. Her voice was very pretty,” Rin said, in a voice only a five year old could pull off.

Izayoi replied,” Really, now? Maybe you could sing for us, Kagome.” There was a chorus of yes's before Kagome sighed. She figured that it would disappoint them if she didn't.

“I'll get my guitar,” Kagome said before going to her room to grab the said item. When she returned, Souta offered to play the piano.

“Whattcha wanna play, Kags,” teased Souta.

Kagome stuck her tongue out before replying,” Life is like a boat.” Souta started playing as Kagome strummed the guitar strings. Occasionally, she would glance at Sesshomaru and blush when he looked her in the eyes. Izayoi noticed this exchange with glee.

 

Nobody knows who I really am,
I've never felt this empty before.
And if I ever need someone to come along,
Who's gonna comfort me and keep me strong?

We are all rowing the boat of fate
The waves keep on coming and we can't escape
But if we ever get lost on our way
The waves will guide you through another day

Tooku de iki wo shiteru
toumei ni natta mitai
Kurayami ni omoeta kedo
mekakushi sareteta dake

Inori wo sasagete
atarashii hi wo matsu
Azayaka ni hikaru umi
sono hate made ee~

Nobody knows who I really am
Maybe they just don't give a damn
But if I ever need someone to come along
I know you will follow me and keep me strong

Hito no kokoro wa utsuri yuku
nukedashitaku naru
Tsuki wa mata atarashii shuuki
de mune wo tsureteku

And every time I see your face
The oceans lead out to my heart
You make me wanna strain at the oars
And soon I can't see the shore

Oh, I can't see the shore...
When will I see the shore?

I want you to know who I really am
I never thought I'd feel this way toward you
And if you ever need someone to come along
I will follow you and keep you strong

Tabi wa mada tsuzuiteku
odayaka na hi mo
Tsuki wa mata atarashii shuuki
de mune wo terashidasu

Inori wo sasagete
atarashii hi wo matsu
Azayaka ni hikaru umi
sono hate made

And everytime I see your face
The oceans lead out to my heart
You make me wanna strain at the oars
And soon I can't see the shore

Unmei no fune wo kogi
nami wa tsugi kara tsugi e to
Watashi-tachi wo osou kedo
sore mo suteki na tabi ne
Dore mo suteki na tabi ne...

 

“There has been a string of murder cases in the Higuechi Prefecture in Kyoto. There have been 5 murders in the last two weeks alone. The Police have not figured out who the murderer is. There has not been any evidence whatsoever left on the bodies. The murderer has a signature style. All victims' heads were severed cleanly. As of now, everyone is being warned to stay inside their homes at night. Back to you, Takahashi-san,” said a young female reporter. The TV had been on the entire time. Everyone was quiet and the air was tense.

Kagome bolted up,” D-dad, that's where the shrine is! We have to get Mama and Gramps out of there! Dad, do something!” Kagome was hyperventilating when Sesshomaru grabbed onto her elbow to keep her steady. Kenji moved to the other side of the room while whipping out his cell. He was about to make a call before Touga intercepted.

“Here, use this phone. It'll eliminate any chances of eavesdroppers,” Touga said, handing Kenji his house phone. After making the call, Kenji told his daughter to call her mother.

“Tell her that I've called a few favors. A friend will be at the shrine in 2 hours to drive them to the airport and another one will take care of the shrine.”

“Ok,” Kagome said, shakily as she moved away from Sesshomaru to make the call. Kagome waited until her mother picked up the phone and said, “Mama! You and Gramps have to get out of the shrine! I saw the news about the murders. Dad said he sent a friend of his to pick you up and bring you to the airport and take care of the shrine. Please hurry, Mama!” After a few more words, Kagome hung up and, subconsciously, returned to the seat next to Sesshomaru. When Izayoi returned from sending Rin and Shippo to bed, Kagome burst,” Five chain murders! All of their heads, severed! This is horrible! If this turns out to be Onigumo and Naraku…Their auras…It was so dark!”

“Now, dear, don't worry, I'm sure your mother and grandfather will be fine. You'll get to see them in a few hours,” said Izayoi in a soothing voice, after calling a maid to bring tea. Souta ran to Kagome and climbed into her lap. After drinking the soothing green tea, Kagome began to calm down a bit. Sesshomaru visibly relaxed next to her. Soon, Souta fell asleep against his older sister, his head tucked against her neck.
