The Demon Angel

 

Chapter 4- Unfortunate Events

 

"My name is Akemi Higurashi." I said as loud and clear as I can. The whole class ooed and awed as they took in my appearence. I blushed a little. I'm not use to all this attention. I looked down trying to hide the embarrassment. My whole face is probably red right now, but I can't give up. I need to be strong. I bowed down "I-I hope we can be friends.." Yeah...not exactly what I was looking for. Clap! Clap! What's this? Clapping? Are they clapping for me? I raised my head to see the room full of students clapping. I smiled. Oh I'm so glad! I thought this wouldn't turn out well. The teacher gave me a wink then turned to the class.

 

"All right class. Thats enough." he said as the class started to quiet down. He looked around, "Akemi you shall sit...." He motioned towards an empty seat in the corner. "Over there with miss Kagome." Kagome? I looked in the direction of the seat. There she sat, smiling with that goofy grin. I smiled even harder. This is great! I get to sit with someone I know! I took my bag and started to walk towards Kagome. I'm so happy! This day is turning out well. I took a step passed a desk and suddenly, time had stopped. The room was covered in purple shadows. I looked over at Kagome. The smile was still in place and it wasn't moving. I took a look at another person. A pencil looked like it was falling, but it was suspended in mid air. What is going on?! I looked all around. Not one person was moving. This isn't good.....What am I going to do?! What is happening?! A dark chuckle came from a distance.

 

"Heh heh....You will be mine..." said the voice. It was dark and was fading and was very ominous. Very demonic.....

 

"Who are you?!" I yelled back. The voice chukled even darker. Whatever it was, it wasn't gonna get the best of me! A jewel was seen in the distance. It looked like it was shattered, for it wasn't whole. My whole body ached. My chest was tight. What is happening to me?! The voice became even louder.

 

"Know this jewel well...." it said darkly, "For it will lead you to me...." I panted and dropped to the floor. My whole body was on fire. That thing will lead me to this voice? Why do I want to find it?! I gripped onto my chest. I'm in so much pain. The jewel was removed and i was fine again. It's not gonna control me.

 

"I will avoid that!" I said. There was silence and then toxic fumes rose from the ground. It smelled sick and disgusting. Has something died?! If I breath this in, will I die?! I covered my mouth and coughed. No good. This is too much. The voice spoke one more time.

 

"You will be mine for you are an important asset to me." it said and faded "Even if I have to lure you out with your precious treasure...". Precious treasure? What is he?.....I couldn't think any more. My eyes started to close and I was starting to lose contiousness. No must fight it...No....I fell to the ground and fainted, but I could hear voices and one particular voice stood out.

 

"Akemi!" said Sora. He sounded really close, but I can't see. I'm slowly slipping away. Sora....how can you be here? When you're in a different class? And yet....I'm glad. The darkness is engulfing me. Black....All I can see is black. Is this the end?......

 

 

Kagome's point

 

She looks so happy,

Kagome thought as Akemi walked down the towards the desk next her, She'll be alright here... A wve of powerul auroa went by. Suddenly she sensed the shikon jewel's presence. Kagome looked around to see where it was coming from. I know I sensed it....but it was only for a second. Thud! What was that noise?...

"Ah!" someone yelled in the classroom. Kagome looked over and her eyes widened. Akemi who had just been all cheery and and happy, now laid on the ground, unconcious. Kagome chocked. She couldn't believe what happened. She ran over to her, pushing through the crowd of students. She finally made it to her and she was out cold. Kagome put her head to Akemi's chest. Good...she's still breathing...,she thought. The door to the room opened. All heads turned in that direction.

 

"Akemi!" called out a boy with light brown hair. Kagome looked at that boy curiously. Does Akemi know him?...,she thought, No....she couldn't have....she just got here...The boy ran through the crowd and sat himself on the ground next to the unconcious Akemi. "Akemi! Akeim can you here me?!" He started to shake her, but it wasn't working. Kagome stopped him.

 

"Stop!" she said grabbing his hands to stop him. "That's not helping!" The boy stopped and loked down at Akemi. Kagome sighed then took control of the situation. "Hojo get the nurse!" The light brown and almost orange haired boy ran out of the room to do as Kagome had said. Ting! Kagome looked around again. Is that the sacred jewel?..., she thought, It's not as strong as the other time, but I think I can make it out. Kagome looked from the boy over to the window. Her eyes widened. In the window was a serious faced Inuyasha. Kagome looked into his yellow eyes. Something in them told her 'We need to talk'. Kagome nodded and he left the window. I'll see what's up with him, she thought, but first Akemi. The nurse ran into the room with Hojo and a few helpers with a strecher following after her. They sat down beside Akemi and hoisted her up into the strecher. It took no effort at all because she was very light weight. The helpers and the nurse took her away. The boy and Kagome left the room to follow after them. Kagome looked at the boy. "Who are you?" He looked up surprised, then sighed.

 

"Oh yeah you wouldn't remember me...." he said sadly, "It's been quite awhile since we played together. Eight years now." Eight years?, Kagome thought in disdbelief. She had a confused look on her face and the boy sighed again. "I'm Sora.....Sora Kazukino." Sora?..., she thought. Lightbulb!

 

"Sora....Of course I would remember that name." Kagome said gently, "It's just that you've changed so much." Sora smiled then his face sadened. "Worring about Akemi?..." He nodded. Kagome sighed. "You were always like that. Worrying wether Akemi was gonna stay out of trouble." He laughed.

 

"Yeah that's me....." he said. Kagome looked at him curiously.

 

"Say...." Kagome started. Sora looked up at her, "How did you know that Akemi was in trouble?" He wore a surprised expression then turned and looked up at the sky.

 

"Don't know....." he said half-heartedly, "I was just always able to know. Call it instinct..." He laughed nervously. Kagome narrowed her eyes. He's hiding something....,she thought, but let it go. She remembered Inuyasha and stopped walking. Sora stopped along with her. "What happened?"

 

"Nothing....You just go to the nurse without me." Kagome said as she started to turn away, " I have something to take care of first. Just take care of Akemi." She started to run off in the opposite direction. Sora reached out for her.

 

"Kagomewait I---" he started, but Kagome already disappeared from sight.

 

 

On the rooftop of the school

 

Kagome walked through the doors that leads to the rooftop. When she opened them, Inuyasha was waiting at the edge with his arms folded. Kagome walked over to him.

 

"What's wrong Inuyasha?" Kagome said as she placed herself next to him. Inuyasha's face was serious. I wonder what he's thinking, she thought. Inuyasha coughed causing Kagome to look at him. He spoke.

 

"Kagome...." he said seriously, "Narraku was here..." Kagome looked shocked, but started to ponder about what happened.

 

"Really....that would make sense." she said while looking at the view over the rail, "I felt the shikon jewel's presence a little before Akemi's accident..." Inuyasha looked at her confused.

 

"What kind of accident?..." he asked curiously. Kagome looked at him seriously.

 

"I don't know how to explain it." Kagome said while in thought, "I felt a powerful aura and the shikon jewel and the next thing I knew Akemi was on the floor, passed out." Inuyasha looked back the view with his arms still folded.

 

"Hmm...I think we should head over to the school where your other cousin is." he said, "Narraku's presence was heading in that direction..." Kagome nodded and got on Inuyasha's back. "Ready?...." She nodded again and they took off into the sky.

 

 

In the Infirmary

 

Where....Where am I? It's dark and it's creepy. Am I really dead? No...I can't be...can I? Well then is this the place people go when they die? I dont know....I don't like it though. A light in the distance. Light? Is there really light in this dark blanket of misery?

 

"Akemi......" said a voice coming from the light. That voice, I know it...."Akemi..." If I reach for it, will it lead me out of here? I head towards the light and open my eyes. I was in a bright yellow room with a large curtain and ample supply of medicines. Am I in the Infirmary? I felt around. Am I in a bed? What exactly happened? "Akemi you're alright....." I looked over. Light brown hair caught my attention. Is that Sora?

 

"Sora....." I said faintly. He came and sat down right next to me. "What happened Sora?...." Sora chuckled and put a wet towel on my forehead.

 

"You fainted in the classroom." he said with gentle eyes. I sighed. I fainted? That never happens to me? Think Akemi.....Let's see..You were walking to your desk and then.....that voice appeared and the pain all over my body. Does that explain it? Well not really.....I looked around the room some more.

 

"Hey where's Kagome?....." I asked him curious as to why my cousin wasn't here. He shrugged. What's that suppose to mean?

 

"She said she had something to take care of before she came here." he said matter of factly. Hmm.....Wait something's coming to me. "Even if I have to lure you out with your precious treasure..."....Is what the voice said, but what does that mean? My precious treasure.....the only thing like that to me is....Megumi. Ah! Two and two are starting to come together. I sat up in the bed earning a confused look from Sora. That's just it....Whatever it was, was gonna go after Megumi. I jumped out of bed and started to make a dash for the door. Sora got up off his chair and followed after me.

 

"Stop! You're not well yet Akemi!" he said as he grabbed my arm and pulled me back. I struggled. I can't let him stop me!

 

"I'm fine! I have to go now!" I said struggling to break free from his tight grip. This isn't working! There's only one thing left to do! I twisted my body around and let a kick flying loose at him. He let go and quickly dodged the attack and fell onto the floor. I knew he'd dodged because he's a good fighter too. I stood there and bowed down. "Sorry Sora! I'll make it up to you!" I said as I bolted out of the door. Sora quickly up and bolted out the door after me.

 

"Like hell you will!" he called as he ran after me.
