A/N(PiratekitAG): Hello people! So, I got hooked onto the manga series 'Ghost Hunt' when Sable Scribe suggested it to me. It' s a really good manga, so I suggest to those who like the supernatural to check it out! Anyways, Hope you enjoy this one-shot. I apologize in advance for any grammar/spelling errors.

Pairing: Kagome/Takigawa

Disclaimer: I own nothing from Inuyasha nor do I own anything from Ghost Hunt.

Kagome hummed softly to herself as she walked down the crowded streets of Shibuya. Glancing around at the buildings that lined the street, she looked for her destination. Looking down at the paper in her hand, she read over the font written on it. 'Shibuya Psychic Research Center' , turning her attention to the address on the paper, she looked back up at the buildings she stood in front of. It has to be around here somewhere. She thought as she sighed softly.

Folding the paper into a smaller form, she put it into her coat pocket before continuing to walk down the street. Paying close attention to the building numbers as she walked, she continued down the street for a good amount of time before her eyes lite up in recognition. "Ah!" she voiced as she started towards the building that held the same number as the paper that was now in her pocket. Climbing up the stairs to the upper part of the building, she glanced at the font on the door and smiled softly. This is it. She thought, as she knocked slowly on the door.

"Come in" A young voice called from the other side of the door. Pushing down the nervousness she felt, she sighed deeply before turning the door knob and pushing open the door. Walking in, she glanced around the small office building before turning towards the young girl that was staring at her curiously. She offered the petite female a smile "Hi, I'm looking for Kazuya Shibuya" she stated.

The girl frowned before nibbling on her bottom lip in what one could only think of as a nervous manner. "Sorry ma'am but he's out right now..." she replied hesitantly.

Kagome frowned and her brow furrowed. He wasn't here? But he had called her and told her to come to his office because he needed her assistance. Why would he call her if he wasn't going to be here? She had only accepted his request because well, she was bored, but also because she heard of everything this research center does and thought it would be an interesting project to be apart of. But now, she felt oddly disappointed and slightly agitated.

Opening her mouth to voice her displeasure, she stopped as the front door opened. Turning around, she noticed two men walk in. Both men were dressed in black, while one looked young-about the same age as her younger brother. The other, taller, male looked to be in his mid twenties. Who are these two? She pondered mentally.

"Ah! Naru! You came back just in time, this lady is here to see you about something!" the girl from the desk voiced.

Kagome's brow furrowed. Naru? She had come to see Kazuya Shibuya not a person named Naru. Shrugging as she looked both men over, she stepped towards them and making her way towards the taller male she bowed to him in greeting. "Hello Mr. Shibuya, my name is Kagome Higurashi." she stated as she looked the male in the eye. However, she was surprised to find the man she was facing before, looking at her with a mixture of shock and amusement.

The girl from the desk was snickering too, she glanced back at the girl in confusion. Seeing her look, the girl quieted her snickering. "T-That isn't Naru. That one is" she stated while pointing towards the younger man. Looking between both males, Kagome felt her face heat up in embarrassment.

"I'm so sorry!" she stated while looking at the younger male "I just thought you looked to young to be the manager of this establishment." she stated again, while apologizing once more.

The younger male, 'Naru', waved her off. "It's fine, I get that a lot" he replied, while looking at her with an stoic expression. "Anyways, you are the miko I called for, correct?" He questioned, without waiting for an answer he walked past her and started towards the door on the far side of the room. "Come with me into my office, I have a new mission that requires your assistance." He stated, without looking back towards her. Stopping at the door, he glanced at the girl that still sat at the desk. "Mai, bring in some tea for us" he instructed before opening the door and entering the room on the other side.

Kagome felt her brow tick in annoyance. He called her out here to help him, he comes in late, and now he is ordering her around and giving her an attitude? I really wish I had a rosary for him She thought with a huff, her earlier respect for him was now gone. She sighed softly, she couldn't just leave now. She had already accepted the job. Squaring her shoulders, she ignored the snickering from the young female Mai, and walked to the room that Naru had went into a few moments earlier.

After entering the room, she shut the door behind her and walked towards one of the couches in the middle of the room. Taking a seat, opposite of where Naru sat, Kagome watched the young male as he looked through some files. Feeling her annoyance begin to build, she cleared her throat to gain his attention. Once he looked away from the paperwork and towards her. She leveled a glare at him. "Excuse me Mr. Shibuya, what did you ask me here for?" she questioned, her earlier friendliness was gone and instead replaced with impatience.

Naru put down his papers as a smirk came to his lips. "Ms. Higurashi. It is to my knowledge that you are a full fledged miko, am I correct?" He questioned, Seeing her nod, he continued. "While my team already has a miko, she can only use her powers in certain situations. So more or less, she is useless on the missions we have. This new mission we are taking requires certain powers and knowledge that I am told you have."

Kagome frowned and her brow furrowed. "What do you mean I have certain powers and knowledge that you will need for this mission? What exactly do you think you will be dealing with?" she questioned.

Without hesitating, he replied "Demons" After his reply a knock sounded on the door, he turned away from her and commanded the person on the other side to enter.

However, Kagome barely acknowledged as Mai came in with the tea, nor did she acknowledge when the girl left the room. She had her mind on other things, like Naru's response. She had not had any contact with demons for the past five years. She had contact with evil spirits and other things that required her powers, but not demons, not since she had returned from the past after defeating Naraku. She had not sensed any either, so she had thought they had become extinct. Her frown deepened as she thought it over, he may be thinking of English term for 'demons' which was evil spirits. Which would explain how he knew of her 'experience' with them, however she hadn't a clue why he would know of the other demon fighting she had done in the past. No one knew of that, except for her family and to her knowledge, they hadn't told a soul.

Her eyes narrowed at the thought. Glaring at him over the table, she frowned. "By 'Demons' I assume you mean evil spirits?" she questioned.

Naru smirked over his tea cup, setting the tea cup down onto it's saucer. He met her gaze with his own. "No. If I meant evil spirits I would have said evil spirits. I mean demons, creatures of dark, the ones that ruled over Japan hundreds of years ago. The beasts of myths. It is to my knowledge you know of them and have dealt with them. Or is my information incorrect?" he questioned with a smirk still upon his lips.

Kagome felt her annoyance begin to build once more, taking in a deep breath to calm herself. She forced herself to smile, and she raised a brow in question as she met the male's gaze. "Who told you I had experience with demons?" she questioned, not bothering to answer his question.

Naru took a sip from his tea cup before putting it back on the saucer. His smirk still in place he replied. "A senile old bird told me" he stated softly.

Kagome felt her jaw clench in annoyance. She automatically knew who he was talking about. Her grandfather never knew how to keep his mouth shut, she really needed to talk to him about his gossip on her next visit to the shrine. She sighed softly "Okay, I do know about these demons you speak of. But any miko, if trained, can deal with them. So if you have one, why do you need me. It certainly must not be for your knowledge since you seem rather knowledgeable already"

"Hn" he replied "As I mentioned before, she is hardly of any use and while we will have others with holy powers accompanying us. We will need your expertise. You will be paid for it." He stated, his tone leaving no room for argument.

Huffing, she relaxed back into her seat. She had already accepted the mission, and though the man in charge got under her skin. She would have to take it, after all- she was to help anyone in need. It was her motto in life, and she had stuck to it, even before discovering her miko powers. She wouldn't back out now, she could deal with this man for a little while. Taking in a deep breath, she met his gaze. "Okay Mr. Shibuya. What are we doing and where do I need to go?" she questioned.

Kagome sighed softly as she rearranged the items in her bag. She was feeling anxious right now, very anxious and nervous. More so than when she had first accepted this 'job' she was headed to. If she was to be honest with herself, even after accepting the job and hearing the details to it, she didn't believe it. She wasn't one to not believe in mythical creatures or the supernatural, especially after going into the past and dealing with them herself. However, demons in the future wasn't something that she could accept right away. Even with the 'proof' of them for this case, she still found it hard to believe. Probably because she couldn't sense them from her home.

However, now that she was getting closer to destined area, she did sense them. Demons were evident in the approaching area, not one or two of them either. But multiple ones. While they weren't high class demons like Sesshoumaru or even Inuyasha. They were low class demons, which given the number this town seemed to have, made it worse than one or two high class demons. Unlike high class demons, low class ones acted off their instinct. They were like wild animals, just much more dangerous. But why are they here? She questioned mentally.

Kagome was pulled from her thoughts as the announcement of her stop sounded through the bus. Closing her bag, she put the strap of the bag onto her shoulder and waited patiently for the bus to come to a stop. She didn't have to wait long, for only a few moments later the bus jerked to a stop and once it was completely stopped Kagome rose from her seat and exited. Stepping off the vehicle and into the fresh air of the country side, Kagome closed her eyes as she took in a deep breath.

Maybe this is why they are here She thought as she opened her eyes and glanced around the area. She could understand why the demons were attracted to this area, it was clean-and untouched my pollution. It may have reminded them of the past, when they were able to roam free and when their kind ruled over humans instead of how it was now. Shaking her head to clear her wandering thoughts, she tightened her hold on the strap to her book bag. She couldn't spend time pondering right now, she could figure out how to deal with the demons after she met up with 'Naru' and his group.

'Now where was I suppose to meet them again?' She questioned mentally. Taking in a deep breath, she began to release her aura. She had been taught how to do this in the past, and had strengthened it over the past few years. It was still weak to what it could be, but she was improving. Focusing, she continued to stretch her aura out, and when doing so she searched for Naru's aura. His was strong, so it should be easy to figure out where he was. After a few moments of searching, she pulled her aura back in as a smile came to her lips.

She had found him. However He wasn't alone, there were seven others with him. Two of them were the ones that had been in the office when she had met with Naru to discuss the mission. The other five however, were new to her. She didn't think their 'team' would be this large. Shrugging her shoulders she started in the direction that she had sensed him at.

Half an hour later, Kagome sighed in relief when she found herself at the same location Naru and the others were at. Making her way towards where his presence was the strongest. She circled around the building until she found herself at the back of it, she stopped. Glancing around the side of the building, she studied the group that surrounded a van. Naru was there, as were the other two from the office building. Directing her attention onto the others, she frowned as she looked them over. Not counting the three she was familiar with, There were two females and three males. All of them, aside from one, had some sort of spiritual power.

Kagome was brought from her observations of the group as the eldest female of the group began speaking. "Naru when is this new girl going to come? I don't understand why we need her anyways. I mean I am a miko too, I could take care of whatever this problem is by myself" she boasted as she flicked her long auburn hair behind her shoulder.

Instead of being insulted by the woman's words Kagome found slight amusement in them. Along with how the group responded to her words, if Kagome remembered correctly Naru had stated that those in the group, including himself, found their 'miko' to be slightly lacking in some areas. Kagome could sense the female's power, so she knew that she did have it, but it seemed to be attached more to nature.

Kagome shook her head as she watched Naru ignore the female. Well, at least I wasn't the only one he gives attitude to. She thought as she continued observing the group. After ignoring the other elder female's ranting, Naru turned his attention towards the other female of the group. This girl reminded Kagome of a Japanese doll. Kagome watched curiously as the two interacted with one another.

"Hara, do you sense anything here?" Naru questioned. Kagome's brow furrowed at the question, why was he asking her that, when he already knew or suspected what was here. Shaking her head, she listened to what the female answered.

The petite girl shook her head "Not really. There is something here, but I can't tell what it is" she replied hesitantly.

Taking this as a cue for her to make her appearance, Kagome left her hiding spot and began walking towards the group. "They are demons" she stated, her voice grabbed the group's attention and they were now staring at her curiously. She nodded in greeting to Naru, a motion which he curtly returned.

He then motioned towards her with his hand as he looked at his companions. "This is Kagome Higurashi, she will be the miko that will be providing assistance for this case"

Turning his attention back towards Kagome, he then pointed to each member as he introduced them to her.

His hand first motioned towards the closest male beside him, a small sized foreign looking man. He had blond hair and blue eyes, his skin was fair in color, which was what gave her the impression that he was a foreigner. He gave her a soft smile and a nod in greeting when Naru introduced him. "This is John Brown, a catholic priest from Australia."

Returning the greeting to Mr. Brown, Kagome's gaze followed Naru's hand as he motioned towards the next male in the group. Aside from Lin, he was the tallest person in the group. He had light brown hair that was pulled back into a ponytail, though his bangs were left out of the ponytail and framed his face. He had light brown eyes that shined with curiosity as he met her own gaze. Naru introduced him next. "This is Houshou Takigawa, he is a part time monk."

Kagome mentally chuckled at that thought. She had never heard of a part time monk before, however before she could dwell on it any longer. Naru turned her attention towards the next in 'line' the elder female who had been previously boasting about not needing another miko in the group. Kagome looked her over curiously, the female radiated confidence. Something that, even if most mikos had, they did now show. This female was casually dressed, she had auburn colored hair and brown eyes. "This" Naru stated "Is Ayako Matsuzaki, the 'miko' I had told you about" he added before sighing and shaking his head.

He then motioned towards the next female. This was the one that reminded her of a Japanese doll. With short black hair and matching black eyes, she was petite in stature and wore a kimono. The girl nodded towards her in greeting, while Naru introduced her. "This is Masako Hara, she is a spirit medium." Kagome nodded to the girl in greeting and then turned her attention towards the next person in line.

A teenage male, who had light black hair and gray eyes. He had glasses on and had a very professional manner about him. This is the one that had no spiritual energy to him. She returned the motion of greeting as Naru introduced this male. "This is Osamu Yasuhara. My assistant." He stated.

Now that the introductions were finished, Naru turned his full attention to Kagome. "You said they were demons, so you can sense them?" he questioned.

Kagome nodded. "Yes, I could sense them even before I arrived." she replied, frowning slightly.

Naru hummed as he glanced around. "How many of them are here?" he questioned.

" A lot. Between 40-50. Maybe more. However, they are low class, which means they aren't the strongest demons. But, what they lack in power they will probably make up with in size." she replied with a sigh "This type of demon usually acts on instinct, which means, they will kill without thought. They move and live off their blood lust, like rabid animals."

Takigawa frowned and spoke for the first time since her arrival. "If there are that many here, and they act in such a fashion, why haven't they attacked yet? Are they like normal spirits, that don't react to strangers at first?" he questioned.

Kagome shook her head. "No, they aren't like that" she replied "Most likely, they are judging how powerful we are. Though they act like rabid animals, that doesn't mean they can't sense spiritual power. Like wild animals, they also try and figure out if their enemy is weak or strong. Who the strongest is, will probably be the one they avoid. Given the numbers, they will most likely attack in groups" she replied.

Naru nodded, a small frown upon his lips. Turning his attention to the group, he motioned towards the small building behind them. "This will be our base, Let's go and discuss our planning for this case, I have the files with information on the case inside." he stated.

The group looked at one another, before nodding and following Naru, Lin and Mai inside. Kagome shivered as the demons auras began to act up. Pulling in her own aura and making it to make herself seem weak, She shook her head and sighed before starting inside. This should be interesting. She thought, as she shut the door behind her and followed the others into the main room.

Kagome awoke with a start, running a hand through her thick locks she glanced around the room in a sleepy daze. She was finding it harder to sleep as the days went on, not because she was in anew place. But because she was restless, the reason for her restlessness was them. It had been a week since they had come into this small town, a week since they had started their 'case' and in this week the demons had yet to make an appearance.

But they were still here, and they were starting to get agitated with her and her companions presence. Which meant that they would be attacking soon. In all honesty, she was surprised that they had lasted this long with out making some move. Shaking her head, she rubbed her eyes in a sleepy manner before getting up from her bedding and making her way towards her bag. Now that she was up, there was no way that she would be able to go back to sleep even if she was still extremely tired.

Once at her bag, she opened it and began rummaging through the items inside. After a few moments of doing so, she pulled out a fresh change of clothing, and some other necessities she would need for her morning routine. Closing her bag, she grabbed her clothing and other items, and walked out of the room, and began making her way down the hallway to where the bathroom was located. It wasn't a long walk, but because she had yet to fully awake from her slumbering state of mind, she was finding it to be much longer than it usually was.

Sighing in relief when she finally reached the bathroom, she opened the door and walked inside. Placing her clothing and other items in a small basket to hold them until she was done with her morning routine. She stripped off her soiled clothing and placed them in the dirty clothes hamper. Looking at the almost full basket she frowned, 'I'll have to do laundry today' She thought as she pulled her hair up into a ponytail.

Grabbing her bathing supplies from the basket, she started towards the shower. As she got closer her brow furrowed as she heard the sound of running water. Well..that's weird. I'm sure everyone is asleep. Maybe someone left it on last night? She pondered, also wondering how she could have missed the noise upon entering the bathroom. But there was a lock on the door, so she was sure that if anyone was using it they would have have used the lock. Shrugging her shoulders, she pulled back the shower curtain and her eyes widened in surprise.

She felt her face heat up as she caught the gaze of the startled man in the shower. It seemed as though at that moment, time seemed to still as they each looked at each other. Kagome, for her part, was inwardly panicking she wanted to move and leave but she couldn't, for her body was frozen. It's not like this was her first time seeing a male's nude body, she had healed a lot of men over the past few years. However, this situation was different. As if the trans between them was broken, the realization of this new situation became much more evident in her mind and she did the only thing she thought to do at this moment. She screamed.

Her scream lead to him gaining his senses back and covering his naked form, her body no longer frozen, Kagome grabbed one of the nearby towels and covered herself before dashing into the hallway. Her bathing supplies left forgotten on the floor. Shutting the door loudly behind her, Kagome leaned against the wall of the hallway. Her breathing was shallow as her thoughts caught up with her. Her body still burned in embarrassment, even as the cool air touching her exposed skin. She had never been that embarrassed before, but now she could at least say that she was fully awake. But I'll never be able to face him again she thought, her body heating up once more at that thought.

Her thoughts were interrupted as the sound of someone clearing their throat was heard from beside her. Turning her attention in that direction her eyes widened, and she felt her face once again heat up as she met the curious gazes of the rest of the 'group'. While she felt amusement coming from all of them, she also felt annoyance coming from some of them. The main source of it being Naru.

"Why are you screaming this early in the morning, Higurashi? I would also like to ask what you are doing only in a towel, but I believe I would rather not know the answer" Naru questioned, as he looked her over with a skeptical expression.

Before Kagome could answer his question, the door to the bathroom opened to reveal a now fully dressed but slightly wet Takigawa. Kagome didn't need to look at the others to know that their attention was away from her and on Takigawa. However he paid no attention to them and instead look at her. A light blush was on his cheeks as he nodded towards her and cleared his throat. "The bathrooms ready now.." he stated while motioning towards the open door with his hand.

Kagome was sure that, by now, her face was beginning to have a permanent color of red. Getting his hint, Kagome nodded and mumbled a quick thank you before rushing into the bathroom. Closing the door, she leaned against it and could hear as the group began questioning Takigawa on what had happened.

Kagome covered her face with her hands and slid down the door until her bottom touched the cool tile floors of the bathroom. This was just her luck that something of this sort would happen to her, it couldn't have been Mai or one of the other girls that walked in on a male showering. No, it had to be her. But then, if she was being truthful with herself, it was her fault for not noticing the shower running until the last moment and for standing there looking at him for so long. She sighed into her hands as she looked down at the tiled floor through her parted fingers, she had no clue how she was not only going to face Takigawa after this incident, but now the rest of them too.

Sighing once more, she rose from her seated position and locked the door. Removing the towel from her body she put it onto its holder before going towards the shower. There was no point in sitting on the floor dwelling over the event, she could do that as she took a shower. She just knew that she had to prepare herself for the confrontation that was sure to come after she finished and made her way back into the house. Where they are no doubt waiting to pounce she thought with a small shake of her head. Turning on the water, she hopped into the shower. Might as well get this over with.

The confrontation hadn't been as bad as she thought it would be, Yes it was very embarrassing but it wasn't that bad. Because thankfully, Takigawa had covered up for her when explaining the situation and the rest of the group, even with the early morning excitement were still tired and half asleep. So they didn't put to much effort into it, though the girls, mainly Ayako, made up for it later when they were more awake.

Looking at the person walking beside her, she felt her face heat up once more. Fortunately or unfortunately depending on how one wanted to look at it, she and Takigawa had been partners for 'patrol' since this mission had started. Naru thought that, since they both possessed similar powers it was best if they stayed together. She didn't object to the idea, because well, anyone who knows or even meets Naru knows its best not to argue with him when he had made up his mind.

Over the week she had gotten to enjoy Takigawa's company. He was a very pleasant companion to have around. Because she had gotten the closest to him, it made the incident this morning that much more embarrassing. It would have been embarrassing no matter who the person was, but the fact that it was her partner made it much more so.

The air around them had been awkward since this morning, and now that it was just the two of them on patrol the awkward feeling seemed to get worse. But at least he is being nice about the whole event she thought with some relief. It was true, she thought he would have made at least some remark about it, either earlier or more so now that they were alone. But he hadn't, he was talking to her as he had any other day since they met. So it may have been only her that was feeling awkward about the event. It didn't seem to be that big of a deal to him.

Sighing softly, Kagome glanced towards Takigawa again. Her eyes widened as she met his gaze, blushing she turned her attention down to the dirt path they were walking on. After a few moments of walking together in silence, Kagome tensed and stopped.

Her actions gathered his attention, as he stopped and turned to observe her. "Kagome, what's wrong?" he questioned as he watched her curiously.

Kagome frowned, with narrowed eyes she glanced through the surrounding trees. Her earlier embarrassment and awkward feelings completely forgotten, she made her way towards Takigawa. Once at his side, she got closer to him. "Prepare yourself, they're coming" she whispered as she got into a fighting position.

Nodding, he too got into a fighting position and looked around their surroundings anxiously. "What about Naru and the others?" he questioned.

Kagome closed her eyes for a moment, before opening them again. "There are some heading there too." She stated, with slight worry in her voice. She knew they could probably hold their own against some of the weaker demons, but it was hard to determine how strong the demons making their way towards base were. "We will have to get back there as soon as possible" she added.

Takigawa frowned "How can we warn them about the demons until we get there? no one could sense them but you."

Kagome sighed, she didn't want to do this but she had to. The demons were approaching anyways, even with her aura and powers out to their full extent they wouldn't run away after they have already made their decision and were fueled by their agitation with herself and the rest of the group. "Like this" Kagome whispered before unleashing her aura. It was enough to give a warning to Naru and the others that there was danger approaching them, and she could only hope that they would last on their own or that she and Takigawa could reach them before it was to late.

But she couldn't worry about that now, for only a few seconds after she released her aura. The first demon made its appearance, and it was anything but friendly.

Kagome winced as she picked up her now fully packed bag. It had been a few days since they had battled with the demons. The battle had been a success for them, however the only one that got away without a scratch was Mai. Everyone else had a nice display of battle wounds, herself included. But the wounds were worth it to know that they had won and the towns people no longer had to live their lives in fear.

After the battle and a day of healing she, Takigawa and John put a barrier around the town so that no other demons would come into it and try and over-rule it again. She had also decided that once getting home, she would look into how the demons made their appearance in the first place. If there was a hole, or something from where they had come from, she wanted to find it. Not only so she could block it but also so she could figure out how to get into the area where they came from. She hoped that maybe, she would be able to find her demon companions. But she knew the possibility of them still being among the living was unlikely, she still wanted to look into it now that she knew demons did still exist.

Shaking her head to clear her wandering thoughts, she arranged her weapons and bag onto her person so they would not aggravate her wounds and walked from the room and out of the house.

After walking out of the house, she smiled in greeting as she noticed the others from the group were standing around their vehicles. Awe, they didn't have to wait for me she thought as her smile widened.

Mai was the first to speak to her. "Kagome are you sure you don't want a ride back?" she questioned.

Kagome nodded "I'm sure. I took the bus here, I can take one back. Besides, It seems like both of your vehicles are rather packed already" she replied softly, l with light amusement lacing her words.

Mai sighed but nodded. "Alright, well thanks for coming with us. You were a lot of help" the younger girl praised with a smile.

Kagome giggled softly, Mai's innocence some what reminded her of Rin. "Thanks Mai" she replied.

She said goodbye to the other members, until she found herself walking towards Takigawa. As she stood in front of him, she offered him a soft smile. Battling together had caused a bond to form between them, and she had to say that through this 'case' he was definitely the one she had gotten closest to, whether it be battling or the shower scene. She felt she had a strong bond with him now, compared to when they first met. It not longer felt like they were strangers.

Though the shower scene still brought up embarrassment, she was starting to get over the event, she was sure his naked form would be burned into her mind for quite some time. Blushing slightly at that thought, she shook her head and glanced towards Takigawa when he cleared his throat. Seeing his smirk of amusement, her blush got darker and she returned his smirk with her own as she pushed down her embarrassment.

"Thanks for being my partner on this mission Takigawa. You did a really good job" she praised.

Takigawa chuckled softly. "As did you Kagome, it was interesting to have you as a partner." he replied "It was also good to have a partner that was actually useful" he murmured, as he motioned towards Ayako with his head. Kagome giggled softly as she noticed the angry expression Ayako gave Takigawa. It was amusing to watch their banter, for they reminded her so much of a brother and sister pair arguing over small things.

Her observations of the two were cut short when Takigawa began talking again. "Are you sure you don't want a ride? I'm sure we can figure something out" he stated, worry evident in his voice.

Kagome waved her hand in dismissal. "No, I'll be fine. Thanks anyways." Glancing down at her watch she mentally cursed, if she didn't hurry she would miss her bus. "I need to go, my bus will be here soon" she added.

Saying a quick goodbye to Takigawa, and saying another goodbye to all the others she began walking in the direction the bus stop would be. She only got a few feet away before she heard her name being called. Turning around, she smiled as she noticed Takigawa waving at her. "See you again Kagome!" he called.

She chuckled softly. "Yeah, I'll see you again. Come by the shrine sometime!" she stated. Seeing his nod, she laughed lightly once again before turning around and once again starting towards the bus stop. While she enjoyed everyone that she had met on this 'adventure' she knew she would miss Takigawa the most. She would definitely look into meeting up with him again. If he didn't come to her shrine, She may just have to check out his band some time. But she knew that even though they were parting from one another now, he would soon become a permanent person in her life.
