Sight Of The Blind

Chapter Two


"Kagome, get that please."

"Alright." She ran across the living room and answered the phone. "Hello, yeah hold on. Souta." Her brother came running down the stairs, snatching the phone. "Hey twerp."

Deciding to head into town for a bit, she went upstairs to get dressed. Putting on a pair of jeans and a blue sweater, her hair up in a ponytail. Her black boots completed the outfit and she gazed out herself in the mirror. Most of her friends from school chose to stay away from her now. Saying that after all her 'sicknesses' she was different. Seventeen months had passed since her return, months of trying to forget. Months in which she did her best to improve herself, never to be weak again.

It was a saturday morning, one of her days off. She was working nights at a diner in town, as a waitress of all things. Forced smiles and acting happy when you wanted nothing more than to tell the people to sit somewhere else but in your section. She snatched a black leather jacket off the bed and headed downstairs. Monday, Weds. and Friday mornings, she usually trained at a local dojo. She was top of her class in fighting and weaponry. Her time in the fuedal era had its perks.

"Kagome can you give me a ride?" Souta ran up to her.

"You just want to ride on my bike." She smiled at him. "Where you going?"

"Going to meet some of my friends at the arcade. Please sis."

"Fine come on." She walked out the door, him trailing happily behind her. She handed him the helmet before allowing him on. "You wear it."

"Okay, since you have a hard head." Souta placed it on his head. He'd been after her for months for a ride. Now, he was going to pull up in front of the arcade on the bike. His friend's were going to die with envy. Not only did most of them think his sister was hot, they all liked bikes.

"Don't push it." She cranked the bike, tucking her hair up so it wouldn't smack him in the face.

"How the hell do you hold this heavy thing up with your scrawny legs?" He was sure the big bike had to weigh a ton.

"Easy, now hang on." Kagome took off down the street, him holding on tight. They sped down the streets, she drove in between cars and ran a few red lights.

"Dammit Yurameshi, you cheated."

"Kicked your ass fair and square." Yusuke hollered. The fox laughed behind them at their antics. "Suprise we can even move with Kurama's fan club so close."

Kurama lifted his eybrow. "What would you have me do?" He didn't care for the attention he was recieving either. Years of it and he was immune to it. Most of the time they stayed behind him, just watching. The arcade seemed particularly crowded today but it was a Saturday morning.

"Tell them bitches to stop gawking and find something else to do." Yusuke took his empty cup and threw it at the group of girls. They squeeked and starting gossiping.

"Come on Yurameshi I demand a rematch." Kuwabara put the coins in starting the game. A group of younger boys were standing behind them watching the two.

"Look its Kagome." One of the young boy's shouted.

"Damn, I'd love to be her brother. Souta sure is lucky, I'd like to accidently walk in while she's taking a shower." A brown haired boy with glasses stated.

A motorcycle pulled up in front of the building, Kurama could see them clearly through the glass doors. He recognized her immediately from the other night. A young boy got off the back of the bike handing her a helmet. She smiled at him, then looked at her watch.

His fan club seemed to recognize the girl also. The leader of the bunch spoke up, "Look it's Higurashi, I'm suprised to see her outside."

"I hear she's gotten better. At least that's what Hojo says, since they've been going out." Another girl added.

"I don't see what's so special about her, she's not even pretty." Someone reeked of jealousy.

Kurama wanted to laugh at the girls. His eyes roamed over her curves as she removed her jacket. "You're right." He spoke loud enough for everyone to hear. Yusuke and Kuwabara turned to gaze at him. "She's beautiful." He left the stunned girls there along with his two friends.

One boy yelled at him, "Hey, she's mine don't you go talk to her."

Kagome stuffed her jacket under the seat, it was getting warm. Souta told her to pick him up in a few hours, she'd go ride for a bit then get some lunch. She looked up when she felt a presence near her. A young man was walking towards her, where had she seen him before? Long red hair, very cute. She smiled when she remembered, he'd been in the park that night. He looked human but his aura spoke of something else, youkai. "Can I help you?"

"Actually, I've always wanted to ride one of these." He smiled at her warmly.

"You sound like my brother. Do all little boys want to feel real power between their legs?" She saw him blush at the comment. See if he still wanted to ride after that.

"Perhaps, or maybe it is the company I am seeking." He could play also.

"I don't think your harem back there will like that too much. Better go tend to them before they start a riot." She placed the helmet on her head. "Later." She took off leaving him standing there.

'Guess I was just shot down.' He sighed and walked back inside to the questioning looks of his friends.

"Did she just turn you down man?" Kuwabara asked.

Yusuke started laughing big time. "How does it feel Red? Seems some women are immune to you after all."

The lead girl came up to grab Kurama's arm. "It's okay Shuichi, I'll spend some time with you. You really don't want to spend time with Higurashi anyways, you'll catch a disease."

"Take that back." Souta heard the girl's comment and turned around glaring. His friend's joined in also. One boy threw his drink at the girl smacking her in the chest. "Yeah, you're just mad cause she's prettier than you."

"Yeah, you ugly doorknob. I hope Kagome comes back and kicks your ass." The boy that had claimed the girl spoke.

Kurama wiped the drink off his face, she'd been standing close enough for him to get hit also.

"Wow, all that over one girl." Kuwabara started laughing and went back to playing his game.
