Endlessly
Reflections
"No!" "Stop this!" "Please don't"
The pleas got to her ears but never registered in her mind as she walked towards her goal.
"Kagome, don't do this.."
That same voice was the only one that understood her. No one else did…no one else tried to.
"Why would you do this? What about your mom?"
Her mom…what about her? That was moreover the reason she was attempting to do this. Her and her stupid 'new boyfriend'.
"Think this over! Please!"
Think…there were many things to think about. All thoughts hurt her. All but one.. But that thought hurts a little too..
Kagome looked back one last time as she deposited her bag. Her so called friends were there and some people she didn't even know. It didn't matter to her much really, they just didn't want to witness suicide.
"You'll never see him if you do this.."
Was that her imagination? She thought she heard that voice…his voice. It brought back so much…so many memories.. When she was younger, happy…when he was around.
"Hey, mister! You dropped your paper!" a young girl said as she ran towards a boy that didn't look that much older than her. Her ebony hair glistened as it danced with the wind. Her bare feet collided with the soft grass and her white sundress was pressed down with the girl's free hand.
'I don't wear white anymore..' Kagome thought as silent tears trickled down her face. Her oceanic eyes shone hazed over in sadness.
The boy turned around towards her. She noticed his piercing golden eyes that went equally well with his waist length silver hair. His school uniform looked untouched as he clinched one strap of his bag that was on his shoulders. No emotion seemed to escape from his mind..
'He was so different…so unique..' The teenager played through her mind as she continued towards the edge of the roof.
The girl stood in front of him holding up a paper in both her tiny, fragile hands. She had a toothy grin on as happiness shone through her eyes.
'I used to be so happy..'
"Didn't your mother ever tell you not to talk to strangers?" He asked in a majestic voice. "Yes, but.. But your paper was dropped!" The young girl said so innocently as she pushed the paper forward a bit. "Thanks.." He replied as he took the paper. He was about to turn when he saw curiosity enter the young girl's eyes. "What?" He asked her in a hushed tone. "Will you be my friend?" the girl asked as she tilted her head sideways.
'So innocent..'
The boy bend down on one knee as he rested his palm on her hair. He nodded as the girl's smile grew as she started to cheer. He stood up again and clutched onto his black bag with one hand as he looked at the girl. "My name's Kagome! What's yours?" she asked in wonder and amazement. "Sesshoumaru.." He replied as he turned to walk away.
"Where are you going?" Kagome asked as the boy started to slowly walk away from her. "I'm going to the lake to do my homework, would you care to join me?" He asked the girl as she nodded and quickly placed her small hand in his slightly larger palm. They both sat down and talked for hours until each one had to go their own separate ways..
'But now…it's to late to think about that..' Kagome thought as she quickly started to descend from the 4 story building.
As she fell she felt a huge gust of wind past by her before she heard the screams and pleas fading away.
She felt like a feather.. So soft.. So fragile.. So delicate… Was this how it felt? Why didn't she feel any pain?
Soon enough the girl was placed on a cool surface which she recognized as grass as her eyes opened. She saw she was in a place where there were tree's benches and a walking path..
It reminded her of the park but that wasn't possible was it? She was dead wasn't she?
The girl quickly examined herself to find she was in her same gray and white school uniform but something was missing.. Her bracelet!
Kagome quickly looked down at her wrist and noticed the said item was gone before she heard movement in front of her and looked up.
There was a man- no an angel in front of her.. He had long knee length…silver hair? It went well with his…golden eyes..?
"H- MY BRACELET!" Kagome bellowed as she quickly tried to grab her treasured possession to find it out of her reach.
"Where did you get this bracelet from?" The mysterious man asked as he held it up high in the air. "None of your business! Give it back!" The girl said as she tried to reach for it again.
"These are very rare bracelets of the.." He started. "I know.. Of the Inu No Taisho clan! Now give. Me. Back. My. Bracelet!" The girl articulated as she finally got it back.
"Who are you anyway.." Kagome asked as she slipped on her bracelet, glaring at the man who smirked back at her.
"You didn't answer my question yet.." He said, amusement clearly in his eyes as she started to get fed up with the man.
"I got it from a friend, now who are you! Are you some weird angel or something?" She asked as she looked around.
"You aren't dead…and as for you other question, I am your friend.." He said as Kagome's eyes narrowed even lower.
"I don't have friends…" She said as she pinched herself on the arm and true enough as the man said, she was alive and well.
"You got this bracelet from your friend, and I am your friend.." The teenage boy repeated as he took up a black bag from the grass next to her purple one- her purple one?
"How did you get tha-" Kagome started to question. "That is…a secret.." He said as he turned around and slowly walked on in front of her. De ja vu much..
"Hey! Where are you going!" Kagome asked as she watched the boy stop in his tracks. What a weird teenager..
"I'm going to the lake…I need to finish my homework…would you care to join me?" He asked as he looked back at her with amusement and curiosity.
"I'm going to the lake to do my homework. Would you care to join me?"
Kagome gasped as she looked at the boy in front of her. It couldn't possibly be him. She was in Tokyo and she met him while she was in New York.
"Is it…is it you?" She asked softly as tears started to form in her eyes. "Hai Kagome.." He said, proving indeed that it was her old friend.
She quickly ran up to him and wrapped her arms around his waist as he ruffled her head. And for the first time, in many years, Kagome Higurashi, actually smiled.
Her throat went raw as silent tears slid down her face and he allowed her to cry in his chest, just like he used to when she was younger.
"I thought…I thought I'd never see you again.." She whispered as she closed her eyes not noticing the flash of one of the diamond crescent moons that hung from the chain of her bracelet.
"Go get your bag.." He commanded her as she nodded and wiped the tears and picked up the purple bag and ran over to the man who held out his hand towards her.
Kagome yet again smiled as she remembered the first time she placed her hand in his and yet again, putting all her trust in Sesshoumaru, placed her thin and fragile hand into his strong and soft palm…
Please, sit down.. May I offer you something? Anything you wish..
No, nothing. If you don't mind, this will be recorded…
TBC..
