Companions of the NIght by Angelique

chapter #1

It was around 11:45 when Souta, Kagome little brother came to Kagome to ask for a favor.

"Kagome can you do me a favor?"

"What kind of favor Souta?" Kagome said looking up from her literature book.

" I left footy at the laundry. Can you go get him?" Footy was Souta's stuffed bear.

"Are you sure that you did not leave him in mom's car?"

"no I was playing with him under the thing you fold your close. You know the only pink one."

"Souta It's the middle of the night. don't worry he will be fine until morning now go to sleep."

"But what if some one try's to steel him."

"Souta no one goes to the laundry in the middle of the night to steal ragged bears."

"Footy is not ragged." Souta said with watery eye. Kagome never could stand watching her little brother cry.

"All right but help keep a watch on mom's door if she wakes up...." 'what am I doing teaching my little brother to lie" "that I went out and I will be back soon." Kagome said.

Kagome put on some shoes and a black sweeter over her night shirt that read IF IT'S MORNING DON'T TALK TO ME!. Thinking that she was only going to be out for a few minutes. She tip toed past her mother's room went down the stair's and got the key's as quietly as possible.

5 minutes latter she reached the laundry. She quickly parked and ran in the building. The laundry store was deserted she did not even see the clerk attendant who all ways yelled at the people for not empting out the lint tray. 'just get the bear and go, just get the bear and go' Kagome kept reprinting to herself in her head.

She got on her knees and crawled under the counter but their was no footy only a razor blade that cut her finger. "Stupid bear." she got the blade and went to leave it at the cash register and it looked as if her good deed paid off. " their you are you dumb bear"

All of a sudden a man that was gagged was pushed in true the front door.
