Hi everyone! I'm so sorry it took so long for me to start my next story! I've had a huge writers block and decided to take a break for a couple of months, if that's how long it was. I didn't count. :) anyways, I had three InuYasha story choices on my poll for me to write next, and I was having a hard time how to start out the story, because I wasn't sure which one was going to win yet. Once I saw which one I was sure was going to win, I decided to stick with that specific one, and start to imagine and think about it while listening to music. That's what helps me brain storm.
So…'To Die For' was the winner! I'm actually really excited to write this since I know now what's going to happen.
For this first chapter, I imagined it while listening to the song Paikea's whale from the Whale Rider soundtrack. I'm not sure if you have heard of it, but it's a good movie, and it has great music in it.
So here's chapter 1! Enjoy!
Chapter 1The day sky was cloudy; no sun was seen. A misty fog spread the whole area, and it almost seemed impossible for anyone to find away through.
Black hair from Kagome Higurashi blew in the wind and big beautiful brown eyes opened wide, curiously looking out to the mysterious place she was in. The girl felt warm a warm breeze as she saw nothing but mist all around her.
Where am I? With nothing else to do, she took a small step forward and suddenly felt the gravity disappearing as she mysteriously started to float a bit, but not enough to fly away.
Kagome stared out into space, a little confused that she was off the ground, but put her left foot down to jump up and float forward. It was as if she were leaping on the moon.
The wind blew a bit more, and Kagome landed on her feet to look before her. Am I alone? She watched as the wind blew away some of the fog in front of her, revealing a familiar figure far ahead. The clothing was red of color, and long silver white hair blew back. The person had, who had pointy dog ears on his head, had his back toward Kagome.
The girl's eyes went wide again and gasped when she realized she wasn't alone and who it was that was with her. InuYasha…
Kagome leaped another step forward, and once the wind blew some more fog away, the boy slowly turned his head back, showing sad, lifeless amber colored eyes staring back at her.
The girl took another leap, floating forward and landing on her feet again. I'm not alone. InuYasha's here with me.
InuYasha's whole body was turned around by now, and not saying a word he stood still watching the girl coming toward him.
Kagome felt like some force was pushing her back, and it was a little difficult to move. But she still went for it, having the urge to make it toward the half-demon who still stood there lifelessly.
She leaped forward once more as fog blew in front of her, but soon moved away, and she could see InuYasha again still standing while watching her. Kagome had no doubt on holding back as she continued to leap forward in the field she was in.
Soon enough the girl was only ten feet away from the half-demon, and she finally reached out her hand as she continued moving toward the boy, who was still staring straight at her while his hair blew behind him in the wind.
When Kagome was finally five feet away from him, her arm still stretched out in front of her, she took one hard blink in both of her eyes, and once she opened them, InuYasha started to slowly fade away.
Her heart sunk once she was that the half-demon had disappeared, and suddenly felt sad and lonely. InuYasha…She felt like crying when she was pushed forward, and her whole body fell down a cliff. Once the girl slowly turned over, her face up, she felt a soft splash as she landed in water.
Kagome was now below the surface and she looked up wide-eyed to see the sun shine brightly above the water. It looked so beautiful, but the girl felt really sad.
The 15 year old girl moaned a bit as she fought the urge to open her eyes to the bright sunlight. "Inu…Yasha?"
Kaogme finally opened her eyes and looked around her. She noticed she was in her own bedroom, laying on her soft, warm bed. The girl felt a little sad but relieved at the same time. She woke up to now strong, brave half dog demon InuYasha watching over her, but she remembered that she had come home a few days ago to catch up on her school work since she had missed so much of it while she was in the feudal era. Now it was time to return to InuYasha and all her friends.
"Kagome!" a familiar motherly voice called from below.
"Huh?" Kagome noticed it was 11:00 am on her alarm clock and started freaking out. "What! It was suppose to go off 3 hours ago!"
The girl quickly got dressed into her normal school uniform and started to pack her bag. She knew that InuYasha would go off on her for being so late.
Once Kagome finished packing her big yellow backpack, she ran down the stairs and grew shocked to see InuYasha himself, standing there with his arms crossed into his sleeves while giving a small glare. Her mom, grandpa, and little brother Sota were there as well, although they didn't seem angry like the half-demon seemed to be.
"InuYasha?" she asked, waiting for him to say something.
He said nothing and kept a straight glare on his face, obviously waiting for the girl to give him an explanation.
Kagome really didn't feel like fighting this morning, so she decided to solve it calmly. "I'm sorry I was late, InuYasha. My alarm clock didn't go off."
Still, he said nothing and kept the same position he was holding.
"InuYasha?"
"It's alright, Kagome," her mother had finally said something. "I just got done explaining everything to him that you were too tired to even look at your alarm clock last night. I'm sure that's what happened."
"Oh." If that was true, then why was he still upset? Kagome figured that maybe it was just because he was having a bad day. Or maybe it was just acting like his usual self; annoyed and grumpy. "I'm sorry, InuYasha."
"Whatever," he finally replied. "Let's hurry up and go. We still have lots of jewel shards ahead of us."
"Right." And Kagome followed the half-demon out the door after saying goodbye to her parents. The two entered the shrine next to the house, and quickly jumped down the well, floating through time in space.
Sorry if it was so short. Anyways, please let me know what you think and tell me if I made any mistakes. Please review!
