-- Lovely Summer Days --

A black-haired girl stretched and yawned deeply, placing a broom against the side of the shrine. Birds made little 'tweet' noises, and the sun filtered through the trees. Yeah, a perfect summer day, right.

Looking around at the now sparkling clean shrine, Kagome sighed. Stupid Sota, running off to camp and making me have to do his chores. Oh well, least it's quiet. Mom and grandpa went on the other side of town to do an exorcism and won't be back until tonight. She put the broom away and headed for the kitchen.

After raiding the fridge, Kagome started studying in her room. All was going well on this fine, happy, sunny day until the doorbell rang.

Evil doorbell from the bowels of hell!

Always buy a peephole.

And never open the door for a strange man with blue eye shadow.

BUT! Being the PERFECT day it was, SOME people don't bother to think about things like that! (The author included)

"Hi!" Kagome said, happiness radiating from her in heavy waves that could tip the iceberg that sunk the Titanic over. The man's stomach turned at this but he refused to let his emotions show through.

"Is you mother home?" The man asked. His black hair went past his shoulders in tangled waves and he wore a black shirt with dark blue jeans. He also had a really creepy aura around him that would make concerned mothers lead their children far away from him.

But a certain oblivious girl just continued smiling. Must be a bad childhood. She thought.

"My mom? She went across town with grandpa for an exorcism. Do you want to leave a message?"

The man shook his head, "You're the only on here?" When she nodded, he added, "That's dangerous for a young girl like you to be all alone nowadays."

The smile slipped from Kagome's face. What is this creep getting at? When he placed a hand on the door panel, she took a step back.

He flashed her a cold, creepy smile, "With the kidnappings and all."

That's it. Kagome thought, I'm outta here. The girl turned and ran towards the back door as fast as her legs (and the furniture) would let her. She knew that Mr. Creeper wouldn't be far behind but she wasn't going down without a fight, darn it!

Kagome knocked over a lamp that was resting on a corner table in hopes of slowing him down. But when she turned to look at the damage, she saw that he just jumped over it. Wait, she thought suddenly. Suppose he's expecting me to go out the back door. He might have a trap already planned or some one waiting there! Acting quickly, she turned and headed for the stairway to her room. This took Mr. Creeper by surprise and gave her a bit of a boost. After slamming and locking her door, Kagome collapsed on the bed and took deep breaths to calm her frantic heart.

This was the guy that was kidnapping young women! Realization hit her like a bag of Algebra textbooks. If only she had a phone in her room! But no! Mom thought she would talk all day instead of doing her homework. Yeah, thanks mom! Kagome growled in frustration and looked over at her open window that gave a great view of… a tree.

There was an idea. Kagome's mind put together a plan. I've climbed the tree before when I was locked out. Then I could run to a payphone or something and call the police!

Her thoughts were rudely interrupted when a hand smashed through the door. Kagome paled. Aw, crap! Moms going to kill me for this! That was a good door too. Without really thinking, the girl grabbed a metal baseball bat that was sitting in the corner (she had it from when she was little) and snuck over to the door where Mr. Creeper's hand was trying to find the lock.

"Do you know how much those doors cost?" she yelled at him and smashed the bat on his hand. A very loud curse word rang through out the house. Kagome smiled and jumped out the window with the bat while Mr. Creeper was distracted for a while.

Kagome scrambled down the tree and started for the shrine steps. Now, all I have to do is find a phone! Then I can call the police and have Mr. Creeper arrested. I might get a big reward for it too! And then I'll be super famous for catching the guy! That would be so cool! Kagome reached the bottom of the stone steps and started towards the shopping district where it would be crowded and he wouldn't find her so easily.

Too bad the poor girl forgot about the possibility that there was more than one and didn't notice the shadow following closely behind her. Something grabbed a hold of her shirt collar hard and jerked her back some. Then she felt a pinch on her neck and everything went black.
