Frozen Heart

Chapter Six

Jack stared down at the girl lazily, he was completely bored, and he was stuck there until she basically woke up. He didn't even know why! What was the reason he was told to stalk a girl and peek in on her as she slept, not that he was really complaining, he was just really starting to feel uncomfortable with himself as he watched her sleep.

Slight movement below the windowsill that he sat upon drew his attention from the girl, and he curiously swooped down to see what it was. A greyish brown bunny was jumping and sniffing about the yard, twitching its nose as it did. Jack smirked at the similarities of the bunny and the Boomerang wielding easter bunny he often times messed with during Easter. placing his staff against the ground, he watched as the snow hardened into ice and the bunny began slipping with every jump, he laughed, nudging it along with his staff as he did.

This was at least entertaining. While he wouldn't lie that the girl was breathtakingly beautiful, she wasn't all that interesting asleep. Well...okay, he was still a guy, and yeah, he had some thoughts while watching her sleep, and okay, so he was thankful for the extremely cold air that surrounded him, but really...what could possibly happen that he had to sit outside her window watching her all night!?

A chilling feeling crept down his spine and his brows knit together in thought at the feeling, something dark surrounded him, and as he turned, he noted it was just the shadows, then looking at the window, it seemed darker than earlier. He jumped to the windowsill and frowned when he couldn't see inside. Opening the window, he couldn't make it budge, thinking over whether or not she'd get angry at him for what he was about to do, he went ahead with his plan and took his staff to the window. The sound of glass falling to the ground echoed in the darkness, and as he entered the room, he realized, he couldn't even see his own hand in front of his face.

"Kagome!" He called out, hoping that if she was there, he would wake her, "KAGOME!" But he heard no response.

A gust of wind blew and he felt something brush against his hands and face, holding his hand out, he caught some of what it was just as the moonlight streamed in through the window. In his hand was black sand, and in Kagome's bed, lay more of the same.

His eyes took in the sight, and his heart clenched with worry as one thought seemed to break through his shock, 'Kagome's gone!'

Pitch paced as he tried to think up a plan. He needed something quick. The Sandman and Jack Frost were taking too much of an interest in a certain Miko, and he really didn't like it.

He had been making plans for the girl ever since she was younger and he had come across her. He would be damned if anyone ruined those plans!

Grinding his teeth together, he ran a hand through his hair, he had to think of something...anything!

He was limited on ideas as of right now though.

Taking a deep breath he sat back down, trying to get his thoughts organized so he could figure out what to do.

"Hmmm." He muttered, tapping his fingers together in a thinking manner, before a grin spread across his lips.

"It seems like there is one way to keep things under wraps or ....at least somewhat." Pitch smirked as he stood up and disappeared in a swirl of black sand.

He arrived inside the room of the girl he had been giving nightmares to for so many years.

It seemed his nightmares were still in effect by the look on the young girls face now. He was glad to see the nightmares still affecting her so well.

Pitch let his finger gently caressed her cheek, as the girl twisted her her sleep, "It seems like you aren't having good dreams tonight."

A smirk came to his lips as he picked Kagome up and looked out the window to see snow.

Jack Frost was here.

Not wanting to wait around, Pitch disappeared with the help of his black sand, leaving only some black sand behind as evidence that he had been there at all.
