ChapterFive

Taking a deep breathe Kagome threw off her shoes and jacket(which had been so kindly been provided by the SDF...In short they gave her two options wear the clothes they provided or go naked.) diving into the icy water.
Ignoring everything, but her set goal. She searched at the bottom of the water finding nothing, she began to swim to the surface.

Her eyes widened when she couldn't find the area of ice she had broken through.
She pounded her fists against the ice with each punch the thin blade like surface craked.
Finally, she broke through ignoring, her sliced knuckles, instead focused on filling her lungs with precious air.
She struggled to pull herself from the water, (she had little energy to begin with, her power was huge, but just holding it in her small body drained her.) finally managing to pull out of the water the ice beneath her was beginning to crack under her weight, added with the weight of the icy water was something even the thicker part couldn't with stand.
She stood shakily, falling, slipping and sliding her way to the solid earth. Reaching the bank of the lake she clawed her way on to the muddy ground.

Wheezing and huffing from the weight of her damp clothing, an icy chill ran up her spine.
Only now did she register just how malnourished she really was.
She turned her blue-brown eyes on to the lump beside her, It was Kurama.
Closing her eyes she realized even he looked better then what she did.

~
Kurama looked over the form of the woman-child before him, she had set her self as a likely enemy, yet she dove in to the lake risking her own life.
His eye brow rose at her unneeded heroics.
The Youko in him growled at the insinuation he was weak and in need of a human wench such as this.
She did not deserve praise, she deserved death.

Kurama growled shoving down his rising anger. When a hollow chuckle reached his sensitive ears his eyebrow quirked higher.

“Kami, Why the fuck did I help you?” Her eyes were closed as she rested her head against the icy bark of the tree behind her.

A sardonic smile twisted her lips.

“I should have left just went off, but no...I had to do the stupid thing!” Her voice was angry now and her energy flared, causing him to get back. He knew that power, any demon knew it...

“Saving another life is not stupid.” Kurama stated as he defended what he believed, what Shiori had taught him.

Her eyes opened and she slowly turned her head and looked at him.
“It is when those whom mean the world to you are unknowingly hostages...” She began to use the tree to pull herself up.

Kurama's eyes narrowed. So, she was an enemy, even unwillingly she was an enemy.
He had been correct in his assumption.
Now he knew what how Enma came into grasp of such power.

~
She was never eating meat again! She felt like a steroid induced chicken. Her powers had grown so big, so fast, her body couldn't handle it Physically or mentally.
Chickens at least died albeit of starvation from their legs not being able to handle the weight, inturn they can not reach their food. At least their suffering ended.

She had no doubt in her mind that as soon as she killed the former Spirit Detectives she would be assassinated herself, but she was looking forward to that. She would be constantly revived until They were dead, But she would not leave this world until her family was safe from the bastard, Enma.

Kagome had been so lost in her thoughts she had wandered off of her set path.
Three men surrounded her all looking for either cash or a good fuck, she was in the mood to give up neither.

She continued to walk passing them, one of them chuckled. “Well babe ya aren't the finest chick we have had, but me an' the boys are feelin' kinda down, give us a good time and we will let ya go.” Kagome continued on. Quirking an eyebrow the supposed leader walked in front of Kagome.

“I thinks she is crazy...” one said.

“Who cares?! She is probably tight, I mean look how small she is!” another exclaimed. The leader looked her in the eyes, taking a step back.
“Shit” he whispered, but shook off the eerie feel he received.
“Look, I do not want to give up what I have left. Leave.Me.Alone.”
The three broke into mirthful laughter.

“This will cause me more pain than you, but in the end I will be alive.” They stopped laughing as soon as her body began to glow an eerie red.

~
“*Three gang members from a local high school were recently found dead, looking to have been mauled by some sort of animal...A dog perhaps? The scientists are verifying the claw and teeth markings...In other news 17 year old Higurashi Kagome has been reported missing for a month and four days now. If you have seen her call the number below, here is a picture of the missing teen.*” Genkai sighed as she sipped her tea.
`So many young children forced out of youth and shoved into a society with...this...It is truly sad what our world has become, demons look more civilized everyday...'

`I wouldn't begin to think so highly of us yet old woman...'
A voice in her head sneered.

“Ah, Hiei, just the sociopathic firecracker I was looking for...” Genkai quipped.
Hiei glared at the old psychic.
“You have been hanging around the city, what the hell is going on?” Genkai asked though a demand underlined her words.

“I have no clue, ask the fox, I don't trifle in ningen lives, it is beneath me.” Hiei sneered.

Genkai rolled her eyes.
“Sometimes I wonder Hiei, Whom acts stupider, You or the Dimwit...” Hiei growled at her for that peticular comment, but was cut off by the light voice of one ice maiden.
“Hiei-kun? Genkai-sama? Truthfully what is going on?” Genkai quirked an eyebrow, before she understood.
“That is the same question Hiei does not have an answer for, nor do I.” Yukina nodded, Hiei noted absentmindedly that Yukina looked more at home and lively in the icy snow.

“We shall wait for Kurama then...” Genkai stated.
The koorime twins agreed.

~
She had shed her blood stained coat in a nearby dumpster after having disposed of the three morons, and true to her word, She was suffering more then the three of them had.

It was painful just to walk, stretching and twisting every one of her muscles.
Her face was covered in blood, but that was hid by her hair.
She glared at the pure looking snow as it became tainted with her blood.

`Just a two months ago I was so happy that the snow was falling, now...I wish the stuff would burn by the hottest flames of hell...well silly me I am so fucking moody!' Even now she couldn't escape the utter hate for the world around her.
She stopped in front of the shrine steps.
`How the hell did I get here?' She shut her eyes at the head ache she was receiving.
`-I didn't think you wished to put your family in so much pain Kagome...Why they are worrying their hearts out for you, and you are trying to hide?-' Came a voice she had grown to fear and hate.

`I never said you could use my name!' She couldn't escape him could she? Even in her own head he burrowed like a cockroach in to her skull, in to her brain.
`-I am so pleased you haven't changed Kagome... that brush with the fox cost you.” Kagome's eyes shot open.

`Who?! Who Did You Kill?! You Bastard!' Kagome growled, she could just see his smug smile, and it was a disgusting sight.

`-No one...yet...hurry and maybe you'll be able to stop it...your mother?...taking her soul...the family would crumble, ne? she holds it together...-'

Kagome ignored her pain and began to stumble up the shrine steps as fast as her legs could take her, she pulled herself up every time she slipped on a bit of ice.

Never pausing for breathe she burst through the kitchen door the heat engulfing her body but she didn't stop, she searched every room in the house.
Her badly stitched wounds ripping open painfully as she moved hastily. Just as she came down the stairs she heard the bolt on the door slide as the grinding metal of the key slid in and was loudly jerked out.

The door opened, out of instinct she hid behind a wall hiding from view. Four people she recognized stepped into the house all four looked in deep thought and sad, and a few looked guilty.

“I am sorry Mrs. Higurashi...I-” The gruff voice her now sensitive ears registered to be none other then Inu-Yasha.
“Inu-Yasha!” Kagome winced at the volume of her mother's voice.
“You know good well that you can't find Kagome on the new moon! I am sure she is fine!” She knew her mother was mainly reassuring herself more then anyone.

“Yeah Inu-Yasha.” Souta stated.
Kagome's eyes narrowed, where was Jii-chan?
The slight gleam and smell was her answer. What little energy she had flared at seeing her grandfather, whom preached about life and how grand it was, was trying to end his own.

`Enma you son of a bitch!' She leapt out shocking the three oblivious humans.

~
They had been consoling Inu-Yasha when a blur of reds and black flew past them.
When it stopped all eyes widened, they saw Kagome fighting Jii-chan over a blade.

His mother let out a scream when she registered all the blood on Kagome and that Jii-chan was trying to commit jisatsu*.
Kagome visibly flinched weakening her hold on the blade.

“Mom! Shut Up!” He hated showing his mother disrespect, but if she kept shreaking Kagome would lose.

When he turned around and his eyes landed on Kagome, he realized too late that with his yell Kagome lost grip of the blade and Jii-chan took the oportunity to plunge it in his heart.
Just as the blade pierced him his vision caught glimpse of Kagome as she cried above him.
As he coughed, realization hit him, he was dying. Blood seeped from his wound

“Jii-Chan!” Kagome whispered.

“shhh-hhh k'gome...Enma will take care of me...Don't shed your tears over me...I happily give my life for yours...”

Kagome's eyes widened.
Her grandfather just smiled as his spirit departed.

“Ka-Kagome...”
Her mother stuttered. Tears poured down her cheeks, but Kagome wouldn't even glance at her.

“Bastard!”
The scream tore from Kagome's lips making herself wince, but she continued.
Everyone was suprised, Kagome normaly swore less then her mother, and the middle aged woman rareley ever cursed.

“You fucking Son Of A Bitch!”

They were all perplexed, who was she yelling at?

She immediatley ceased, dropping to her knees she gripped her head.

~
`So you decided to take the cowards way again? what would happen if I teamed up with your enemy? hm?'

A malicious chuckle rung through her head.
`-Do you really think that they would want you? The fox is already highly suspicious of you...And all of them would not trust you... how hard would it be for me to manipulate your family into killing their own?-' Kagome felt her face drain of blood, okay stupid question.

“Bastard!” She noticed from the corner of her eye her mother trying to get closer to her.

“Don't!” Her voice came out much more harsh and biting then she had wanted.
`-ah already scaring your family? where is the love?-' Enma chuckled.
“Love?! Since when have you registered that feeling?! and don't talk to me about family you pompouse ass! Your are black mailing me into killing your own son! For what other reason? Then to keep your own hands clean!”

Enma chuckled. Kagome growled.
“Goddammit! Stop Chuckling!”

`-My dear, it is for his own good that I am killing him...he practically is begging to be freed.-'

`For his own good?! Freed?! What the fuck?! Your kid turned out better then he should've with your parenting!? When he stole a cookie did you strap him up like me and play with his organs too?'

`-No and my parenting is none of your concern, I must leave you, your family would like to know why you are talking to yourself.-'

As Kagome stood she felt the eyes of her remaining family and Inu-Yasha upon her.

“Kag-Ka-Kagome?” He mother tried to reach out to her, but Kagome flinched away.

Mrs. Higurash took a step back.
Kagome began to go up the stairs when she fell unconcious.

~
Mrs. Higurashi ran to her daughter's side checking her pulse, she nearly screamed, if it weren't for the rise and fall of her chest Mrs. Higurashi would have screamed.

“She has no pulse! no heart beat!” Mrs. Higurashi jumped away.
Inuyasha looked stunned.

“Only demons have a soundless heartbeat...” All eyes fell upon Kagome.

Mrs. Higurashi began to lift her daughter, but nearly fell over.

“Is she too heavy?” Inu-Yasha asked.

Mrs. Higurashi simply lifted the shirt covering her daughter, Inu-Yasha was about to turn away, but couldn't.

“My god... I can see everyone of her ribs...and her breasts are smaller then they used to be...”
Examing her daughter she lost count of all the stitches that were sewn by badly expierienced hands.
Her wounds oozed disgustingly, and her eyes had dark circles beneath them, her hair was matted with blood.

Her heart twisted when Kagome flinched from her touch.
Lifting Kagome she stated orders to the two boys to take care of Jii-Chan's body.

~
Laying kagome on the cold tile her eyes saddened as her daughter hissed at the frigid feel.

Turning on the water she lowered the temperature to a luke warm.
Stripping Kagome of the bloody clothes and she lifted her into the bath.
“Why would anyone do something so dispicable?”
Mrs.Higurashi murmered.

Realizing the water was nearing the top she admedetley turned off the faucet and checked on Kagome.
`I will need to restitch these...no...i will call someone better, I can't risk it.'
