A Big Secret

The Demon Angel

Chapter 2-A Big Secret

It's gotten dark around the house, so I guess it's almost time for bed. Kagome and them have set Megumi and I in the same room. This is good. I can keep a watch on her to make sure nothing happens. I don't know why, but I still feel like I'm being watched. It's probably nothing....I hope... Me and Megumi are in our rooms unpacking all our luggage into the dressers and precious keep sakes on the vanity. I unpack my bag and find Megumi's medicine. Oh I can't forget to give her these.....I turn to Megumi who was on the floor unpacking her bags.

"Oi. Megumi." I said to her trying to get her attention. She stopped and looked up at me with a confused look.

"Yeah. What's the matter?" she asked concerned. I threw the medicine at her ans she quickly caught it. Nice catch! I put my hands on my hips.

"Don't forget to take these tonight." I reminded her. Megumi opened her hands to find her medicine in it. She quickly made a face. She really hates her medicine, but it's the only thing that keeps her well. She has a bad heart and the medicine does something to help. I don't what it does, but it does help. She didn't have an attack for awhile now. She looked up at me, her eyes pleading.

"Can't I skip it for just one night?" she asked pathetically, "It's such a drag to take all these medicines." I can't fully understand where she's coming from since I don't have any problems or have to take meicine, but I can't let her skip it. It keeps her well. I put my hands on my hips giving her that 'What do you think?' look. She scowled and went back to unpacking her things. I shook my head. She's such a baby. There was a knock on our door.

"Akemi! Megumi! It's time for dinner!" called Auntie on the other side of the door. I have to admit, I am kind of hungry after that trip . I looked at Megumi, she still had that scowl on her face.

"You ready to eat?" I asked her assuming that she didn't hear Auntie before becuase she was still sulking about taking the medicine. She perked up and stared at me with stars in her eyes. I bet I can guess what she's about to ask. 'Are we gonna have chocolate for desert?' I guarentee you that she'll say it. Megumi continued her stare.

　

"Are we gonna have chocolate for desert?" she asked excitedly. I knew it....she's a sweets fiend. I shook my head. Well at least I brought some back up snacks for her to have just in case we didn't have any. I helped her up off the floor.

"We'll see.." I said slyly then led her out the room and downstairs towards dinner.

 

Back in Kagome's room

Kagome sat on her bed and waited for there to be noise downstairs signaling that dinner had started. She explained to her family that she won't be having dinner with them tonight because she wants to get rid of a certain pest. They seemed to have understood. I hope they hurry up soon, she thought with her arms folded, I have to get Inuyasha out of here before this becomes a big mess. Finally noises could be heared from downstairs. Alright, she thought while looking outside the door. She closed it and went back into her room, It's time for me to make my cue. She went over to her window and leaned out.

"Inuyasha!" she whispered, "Come on out! I know you're there!" She waited a few more minutes and went to sit back on her bed knowing that he would come into the room any second. And she was right. A flash of red and white flew by her and landed on her floor. It was Inuyasha. He stood in the middle of the floor. He folded his arms.

"What?" he whispered to her. She stood up from the bed and placed herself in front of him. She cleared her throat and glared at Inuyasha. He took a step back, afraid that she was about to do something bad. She smiled, but he could tell he was aggitated.

"Inuyasha...." she started. Inuyasha waited for it, the 'sit' command, but it never came, "Why haven't you went back yet?!" Inuyasha sighed then turned away. Kagome still glared at him.

"I sense something from one of your cousins..." he started in serious thought, "But I can't say exactly for sure what it is....." This threw Kagome for a loop. She looked at him confused. Inuyasha sighed. She probably doesn't believe me, he thought. Kagome folded her arms and was serious.

"Which one?" she asked him curiously. Inuyasha pondered a bit as to whether or not to go further on with this information. He proceeded to tell her anyway. He sucked in a huge breath and let it out.

"The tall one with the pink hair." he said. Kagome's eyes got wide as the information sunk in.

"You mean Akemi?...." she said. Inuyasha nodded his head. Kagome put a hand in her chin and pondered. What could that possibly mean?, she thought to herself. Inuyasha spoke once again.

"I also feel Naraku's presence as well." he said, "I felt it when that girl Akemi showed up here." Kagome's eyes got even wider. Naraku?!, she thought and took a step closer to Inuyasha.

"Change of plans Inuyasha.." she said quietly. Inuyasha looked at her confused, "Stay around for a little while, just in case something happens. I don't want my cousins in the middle of this." He nodded. Footsteps could be heard coming up the stairs. Inuyasha and Kagome looked in the door's direction. Kagome turned to Inuyasha. "Hurry hide!" She pushed Inuyasha out of the window and turned back around towards the door. There was a knock. "Who is it?"

"It's me Akemi....Can I come in?" she said from the other side of the door. Kagome ran and opened the door to let her in.

 

Megumi and I went downstairs to eat with the family, but Kagome was absent. I wonder why. They told us that Kagome had a stomach ache and wouldn't be eating with us. For some reason, I don't buy it at all. Megumi, being the gullible person she was, believed every word of it while she ate her food. I bet she just wanted to know if there was chocolate afterwards. Megumi finished her food in one gulp. I dont think that's very healthy.

"Thank you for the meal!" she said happily while patting her full stomach. I don't think she even chewed her food. It vanished in a blink of an eye. She had a crumb on her face. I grabbed my handkerchief and wiped it off. She looked up at me with stars in her eyes. "Chocolate now?" Sigh....I smiled.

"Let me go get some from our room." I said as I bowed down, excusing myself from the table. As I started to walk away I heared them talking still.

"Yay!' Megumi said as I started to leave the area to get her chocolate. Auntie, Grandpa, and Sota all giggled. Sota spoke.

"You really like chocolate, don't you Megumi?" he asked still giggling along with the family. Megumi smiled so big with her teeth flashing.

"Yep I love it!" she said happily and laughed with the rest of them. I watched from the corner and smiled. I'm glad this makes her happy. She's been a reck since Mama died. This is good for her. Oh!...I better go get the chocolate before she starts looking for me. I turned around and started to head up the stairs.

".......Which one?.." said a voice so familiar. It sounded like Kagome. I crept up the staircase slowly, crouching low. I wonder if she's on the phone? And who is she talking to at this hour of the night? The voices continued.

"...The tall one with the pink hair...." said a second voice. Wait that sounded like a boy....and it's too loud to be on the a phone. Tall with pink hair?....Are they talking about me? No they couldn't be. What's so interesting about me? I crept a little closer.

".....You mean Akemi?..." Kagome said back to the voice. I stopped for a minute. So they were talking about me....I see. I looked up at the doorway. I know I should stay here and mind my business.....but I wan't to know who that boy is. Maybe it's that one I saw earlier...with dog ears. There's no way those things can be real. I started to pick up my pace and headed for her door. I stopped before I entered though. The voices continued.

"..Hurry hide!.." whispered Kagome in the room. She's obviously trying to hide something. This whole family is. Just what is going on? I knocked on the door. "Who is it?"

"It me Akemi....Can I come in?" I said cautiously. I know the boy is not going to be in there when I enter, but I might as well have a look. The door opened reaveling a sweating Kagome in her pajamas. She's been up to something.....

"What's up Akemi?..." she asked. She look like she just moved some heavy cargo. Was the boy heavy? No or else he wouldn't have been able to lean out the window. Speaking of window....maybe he's outside? I walked past Kagome and went towards the window and looked out. There was no one, but how? Not to mention...the fall would have killed him or at least broken a few limbs. SOmething is weird about this whole situation.....Kagome looked at me confused. "Is something wrong?" Oops! I totally forgot that she was there. I turned aound to her and chuckled nervously.

"Ah..ha..ha sorry." I said nervously, scratching the back of my head, "Just wanted to see how far of a drop it is from your window.." I continued to laugh and Kagome giggled. Well I avoided that situation. Now time for some answers. "Kagome....Are you hiding something from me?..." Sweat started to form faster than before. It's so obvious that she was, but I'll let her tell it. Now she was the who was in the spotlight.

"No!...What makes you think that?" she said nervously. I smirked. This is so much fun. I played along.

"Oh I don't know....just asking.." I said coyly. Oh! I forgot about the chocolates! I have to go. I guess my fun is over. I went to the door, but turned around just before leaving. "Don't bother hiding anything from me Kagome. I will find out what it is." I said then left out the door to get the chocolates, leaving Kagome alone bewildered. I know I can be a little deciving sometimes, but I always stay true to my word especially this one. I'm going to find out who this boy is!
