Kagome gently pressed the button on her camera, using up her last photo. "That's a keeper" She whispered and looked at her muse.
It was a small garden in front of a Victorian styled house that was painted baby blue. The garden held an array of colorful flowers, from yellow to pink. But one flower in particular sparked her interest. It was a pure electric blue rose, something that was hard to find.
Kagome resisted the urge to pluck it from its roots and keep. In that instant, her phone buzzed to life in her pocket. It was time to go to work. Reluctantly, Kagome stood up, tucking a stray strand of raven black hair behind her ear. Suddenly, she had the feeling she was being watched.
She looked up just in time to see a figure disappear from sight in an upper window of the house. Kagome felt a clench in her heart as she saw a flash of silver. Was it him? Could it really be him? She had no time to answer her question as her phone buzzed a second time.
Kagome hopped on her red bike and rode away, not noticing the eyes looking at her from the house with the blue rose.
"You're late Kagome" The manager of the small cafe scolded as she rushed into the store. "I'm sorry sir! I saw the most beautiful blue rose on my way here and I just had to take a picture of it!" Kagome said, a bit out of breath as she rushed onto the risen platform where she was greeted by her acoustic guitar, a stool, and a microphone.
Every day at 6:30, Kagome came to play a few songs for the cafe. The owner had taken a liking to her when he heard her playing on the street one time. Some of the regulars at the cafe recognized Kagome and they started to clap, the new comers following there gesture.
"I'm sorry I'm late everyone! I was a bit busy." Kagome apologized as she put the guitar strap around her shoulder. Scrawled on the front was the name "Luna", her guitars name. She took a seat on the stool and took a deep breath.
"Tonight, I will be starting off with 'Everything Burns' by Anastacia and Ben Moody. Hope you guys enjoy" Kagome sighed and started strumming at Luna. I soft voice, smoother than silk, filled the cafe. Every word that spilled from the girl was filled with a mixture of emotions. Pain, sorrow, and loneliness.
No one would have guessed that she had felt all of this before. Deep down, Kagome wanted to cry. Let out the sorrow for those who have suffered from pain.
When Kagome finished the song, it took some time for the crowd to recover from her angelic voice. Finally, after what seemed like forever, the owner started to clap, and everyone followed suit.
Kagome played and sang a few more songs, some happier than others.
"Kagome, you did a great job tonight" The owner told Kagome as she readied to leave. "You were much more enthusiastic about it. Did something good happen?"
"No sir. Just the fact I got a picture of that rose." Kagome replied as she put her guitar in its case. She had left it here yesterday and wanted to take Luna home.
Closing the guitar case with a SNAP! Kagome saw the manager holding out a small envelope. "It's pay day? I totally forgot about it!" Kagome half whispered and took it out of the owner's hand. "Thank you sir!" She thanked him and he replied "No problem Kagome. You deserve it!"
Kagome nodded slightly with a smile. She picked up her guitar case and jumped off of the stage. "Well I'm off sir! See ya tomorrow!" Kagome said with a slight bow and started to walk off towards the door when the owner said his goodbyes too.
When she got outside, Kagome unlocked her bike from the rack, mounted it, and rode off, guitar case on her back.
Kagome was in a rush because she wanted to get the photos developed and give out pictures to close people, which weren't many.
Just as she thought, a Walgreens came into view and she pulled into the almost empty parking lot. She locked her bike on the bike rack and rushed into the store.
"Kagome, what took you so long to get home?" Kagome was greeted by her brother's stern voice, well, more like adoptive father. Matter-of-fact, she had two, the other ones name was Kouga.
"Sorry Naraku! I was getting some photos developed!" She replied and slipped out of her flats. "Okay." He replied and went back to typing on his laptop.
Kouga and Naraku were twin brothers, but oh were they different!
Kouga was the younger one by 2 minutes and had the most bubbly personality. He was a womanizer and a player, but everyone loved him. He had emerald green eye that could melt your heart and he kept his long black hair in a high ponytail.
Naraku, on the other hand, was somewhat cold. He really only showed love towards people he took a liking to, including Kagome. He also liked guys, but no one really minded. His hair was to the middle off his back and was wavy and somewhat messy. His eyes were a chilling red color that scared many.
Also, they were both leaders of two of the world's largest and most powerful mafias.
Naraku was the leader of the White Tigers, and Kouga was the leader of the Black Tigers. Both of them were skilled in martial arts and could shoot 5 birds in a row without missing. They were dangerous.
Kagome made her way up the stairs and stopped at the top of the stairs. On the ceiling, there was a door that lead to the attic, also known as her bedroom. She grabbed a nearby chair and climbed onto it, yanking the string on the door and letting it down.
After Kagome was safely in her sanctuary, she flopped onto her bed and let out a soft sigh. It was 7:46 and she was already super tired. After a few moments, she sat up and took off her satchel. She had left her guitar at the front door and did not feel like going back. She was tempted to yell for Naraku to go get it, but he would have been slightly irritated.
Kagome looked around her little bungalow. It was simple besides the fact that the walls were scattered with photos and drawings. Smiling, she took on gently off of the wall, her favorite one. It was a photo about two years old.
"Oh, how I miss you so Inuyasha" Kagome mumbled under her breath and kissed the picture.
The boy in the picture was handsome. His silver hair was long and silky looking, shining in the sunset. His honey colored eyes were warm and inviting, just like his beautiful smile. He wore a black t-shirt and faded blue jeans and the attire showed off his perfect body.
"Why did you have to betray me Inuyasha?" Kagome asked the picture, expecting no reply.
