Hidden In a Song

A Special Place With A True Smile

"Sota!" She called as she shut the door, but there was no answer. She laid her keys on the counter and walked the hall down to the second door. She slowly cracked the door and stuck her head in the room. "Sota I'm home." She looked at the small lump under the covers and smiled as she tip toed over. "Boo!" She yelled jumping on the bed.

"Wha!" Sota fell to the floor with a thump. "Aw, that's no fair Kagome." He whined.

"No maybe not, but it was funny." She laughed.

"It is not" Sota stood from the floor.

"You should be asleep any way, not trying to scare me." She scolded.

"I know, but I couldn't sleep." Sota answered as he climbed back into the safety of his bed with the help of his sister.

"I know it's hard," She tucked her brother in. "but we have to adjust. I will get us out of here as soon as I can." She smiled.

"Promise?" He held up his pinky finger.

"Promise." She offered her pinky as they made a promise. She kissed him on the cheek and stood to walk to the door.

"Kagome?"

"Hm, what is it?" She looked back.

"Could you sing me the song?" He hesitated. Kagome smiled as she remembered the way she used to tease him when he would ask their mother to sing him the song, but she decided that this time she would not. She sat next to him and sang.

Underneath the blue sky, the wind blows

Toward the future

As if embracing the rays of the sun

Merely wandering along,

I leave behind only a trail of footsteps

As long as there's a breeze brushing my

Cheek and grass to lie in

I don't need anything else, and I'll smile with satisfaction.

Sleeping, gazing at

The never-ending future

I can hear the sound of waves, touching my

Heart,

Selfishly aimless, like drops of rain

The setting sun quietly reassures itself of

Everything

Then sinks into the distant sea, as if giving it

A kiss

Wandering towards

The dream of a never-ending future

A soft smile lit her features as she sung. She watched her brother slip in and out of dreamland. She did not stop singing until he was in his own world. So asleep you would think he were dead. She leaned over to turn out his light. She stopped to study him once more, wandering what he could possibly be dreaming of to put that smile on his face. She had not seen that after their mother died. Mother, Perhaps that's what he was seeing.

She closed her eyes to try and see what he might be dreaming. She saw him in the back yard kicking around a soccer ball with his friends as the dogs tried to catch them. Her and her mother were in the kitchen preparing his birthday lunch, and for a moment she saw their father barbecuing. Her eye's quickly opened as she sighed. 'You didn't know him, though that may be all for the better' she thought. She ran her finders through his hair and smiled. 'I wonder what mom was trying to tell you in that song? But maybe I'm just not meant to know.' She kissed Sota's forehead and left him to dream what he wanted.

As she leaned against the outside of his door she could almost see her mothers soft brown eyes, and hear her soft kind voice. 'While you dream, you can do anything. Soar the highest skies with the grandest of the eagles, swim the deepest ocean with the angelic dolphins, explore the deepest forest with the proudest of wolves, or climb the highest mountain, so long as you will is so, it is what you wish. Even the strongest of people have a wish they cannot fulfill on their own, a place to escape, a place to make their drams, wishes, and desires come true. A special hidden place in their heart, a place just for them.'

Kagome mouthed the words with her mother and smiled a rare smile, a true smile.

A/N- So I wrote this story when I was in seventh grade and it is still one of my favorites. However, the lack of attention to detail is very obvious through out LoL. So I have decided to go through and make some changes. Okay a lot of changes. Non that will alter the story just much need grammar and punctuation errors.
