My English teacher made me write a story that showed and did not tell so I ended up writing this. Sorry if it sucks but I had only a day to write it so I went straight to the point. I wanted you all to tell me what you think about it cause I think my friends are lieing to me lol! I was up til 12 working on it and man am I tiered. I do not own any of the people in this story but I do own the story plot.
The narrow town streets were vacant of all the people who lived in that small little town in Japan. All of the town's people desired to be inside their home on their cozy beds or blankets. None wanted to be outside in the storm, for they did not wish to get soaking wet. The sound of rain drops pouring down was everywhere like a waterfall on the roofs of buildings, on garbage can tops, and on the streets. A great big flash lit up the sky for a second and then that flash was gone just as fast as it lit up the sky. Soon after a big boom came causing little kids to get scared and ran into their parent's room, flying into their parent's bed causing every one to bounce, and then telling their parents that they are going to sleep with them because they are scared. Their parents stroked their fine hair gently on their fat round heads while whispering into their little ears that it was going to be okay and that there was nothing to be scared of. Only a few of the people in the town stayed up looking outside at the huge storm that was brewing threw the whole town. Those who stayed up thought this was the darkest day of the century and they were right! For it was on this very day that someone that all the gods loved had died, committing suicide. But for you to understand this story we must go back to a day before this dark, dark day.
It was a morning like any other morning. The black crows where chirping at the park trying to find food on the ground. They would fly off into the sky because some snot-nosed little kid, not yet in elementary school, would chase them. Then they would briefly land on the ground only to be chased again by the other booger-faced kids. Car horns were going off loudly and for a stretched amount of time, at other cars trying to get them to go faster than the 35 mph speed limit so that they could get to work on time because they woke up late and it is a long way to the city for work. Some teenagers were walking on the sidewalk in groups of two or more to get to school on time. The school to them looked like a jail and it only held five hundred students.
One of the groups of the teenagers walking to school would be the oddest group you could have ever imagined. There were six kids in that group. One of them was the number one punk at school, who was 5'8', with slicked black jelled hair, with blue eyes that had the roughness in them showing that he had hard times in his life already. He wore baggy blue jeans that hung down to the floor covering up his black and white Etnies. His shirt was yellow and sleeveless with dirt on it showing that it was still had not been washed recently. This boy's name is Yusuke who was a half demon and also a spirit detective. A spirit detective is someone who works to keep all the demons out of the Human world and keep them in the Demon world, protecting the humans.
The teenager walking next to him would be known as his girlfriend, Keiko who was only an inch shorter than him. She was the total opposite of Yusuke. She loved to go to school and learn. She had brown eyes that lit with happiness especially today because she was able to get Yusuke to go to school. Her hair was brown that went to the middle of her back and had bangs that went to her thin brown eyebrows. She wore a baby blue collared shirt with three buttons at the top, and also wore a dark blue skirt that went down to her knees. Her socks went up to her knees, making sure she didn't show any skin and her shoes where baby blue stripped Nike.
The one behind the couple was gazing off into space stupidly and was the tallest boy of the group, at about 6'4'. His orange hair made him look like a foreigner, even though he wasn't. He styled it very much like Elvis's hair cut. His eyes were brown and sparkled with kindness at everything nice and sweet, especially kittens which were his favorite animal. The clothes he wore were baggy blue jeans with Sketchers and his shirt was white and stuck to his body like a second layer of skin. Though he may be the ugliest of the group, this guy had a heart of gold with an honor code to go with it stating that it was wrong to hit a girl, yell at a girl, and the list went on and on. He was the number two punk at school and the best friend of Yusuke. His name is Kuwabara and is also a spirit detective.
Behind Kuwabara stood the schools number one student in academics and he was so polite to everyone, also he was only a centimeter or two taller than Yusuke. His hair was red and went down to the middle of his back and had bangs that came just right to the top of his eyelids. When you looked into his eyes they were green that flickered gold when he was talking to Youko Kurama, that nine-tailed, silver fox demon whose soul is inside him. He wore a gray shirt that had buttons going all the way down the front, and had blue jeans with white Sketchers. He, too, was a spirit detective. His name that he went by at school was Suuichi, but other than that his friends called him Kurama.
To the right of Kurama stood a guy who was up to his shoulder and that was including his spiked-up black, with white starburst, hair. Also he had a head band on his forehead to cover up his third eye that could go into peoples minds and see what they where thinking. His eyes were red showing hatred to the world that had hated him since birth, since he is an ice and fire apparition also known as a forbidden child. Other than that, he would never show any emotion and would wear an emotionless mask on his face. He wore a black cloak that was buttoned all the way down to his calves, and had black pants that barely hung over his black combat boots. His name was Hiei and he doesn't really ever talk to anyone unless it is something very important to say or was making fun of Kuwabara. He too was a spirit detective.
To the left of Kurama was his baby cousin, by a month or two. She went up to his stomach and was the shortest of the group. She had black hair that shined blue when the sun was on it just right. Her hair went to her hips and she had bangs that stopped just above her eyelids. Her eyes were blue that changed shades of the colors with the mood she was in. She had a smile on every time you saw her that would brighten up your day. She still smiled when her grandpa, mother, and little brother had died just a couple of months ago. What she wore was a green tank top, a green mini skirt that went to the tip of her middle finger when she put her hands down, and socks that went up her knees, and also clean, white Sketchers. She just so happened to be a miko but no one knew she was one. A miko is a person who is the enemy of a demon and could turn a demon to dust with just a touch of their finger but Kagome was not like that at all. She did not wish to kill any demons. Her cousin, Kurama, didn't know that she was a miko, but she knew he and some of his friends were some form of demons.
"Kagome are you sure you don't need me to help you with anything at all at school?" Kurama asked with concern and worry leaking through his voice and eyes as he looked down at her. "I told you I am fine, cousin. I know where all my classes are and I have made friends in those classes already. So if I do need something, I could call them instead of bugging you all the time." Kagome answered craning her neck up and smiled brightly at him telling him that she was okay. "Come on guys or we are going to be late!" yelled Keiko over her shoulder at them and then started to run to school dragging Yusuke with her by the collar of his shirt. Soon the others started running too, realizing what time it was. Thankfully, they got there on time.
The day at school went by as fast as hummingbird wings flap in a second and soon when the last bell rang for the school day, the group was off doing their own things. Keiko and Yusuke went out on a date at the tiny movie theaters on the corner of the street. Kurama had to stay after school for some extra-curricular activities. Kuwabara went home to play with his overly fed, chubby, black kitten. Kagome went to her aunt's house to do homework and to find no one there. Hiei was secretly jumping from tree branch to tree branch, following Kagome home, because he had nothing better to do and just wanted to be in her soothing presence that she gave off to him.
Kagome went through the well furnished house to the room they gave her that was once a guest room. It was an ordinary room, with a plain bed with white sheets, a dresser with a book on it that said family photos on the black leathery cover, and then a small closet. It was not too small that she couldn't fit her clothes that necessarily needed to be hung up, then also a window that she always kept the curtains opened. Plopping onto her bed with her book bag, she started to work on her homework.
In the tree outside Hiei settled in a branch were he could see her through the window, but she could not see him.
Kagome was halfway through with her homework when her mind started to stray off the history of Japan and onto a certain forbidden child that was sitting just outside her window. She had a secret crush on him ever since her cousin first introduced him to her. She did not know what had called out to her from him but something about him just made him stand out in the line of friends Kurama brought over to her house a few years ago. Her house….her house … her house… her family….. the fire….. the screams…..With a flash she was brought back to the present time sweating all over. Shaking her head of the thoughts of the accident. Turning her attention back to the homework she finished it right before her aunt got home to start with dinner. She lied in bed, deciding to take a nap before dinner started.
She felt someone shaking her shoulder but everything that was in her vision was fuzzy, "Kagome! Kagome dinner's ready, sweetheart!" she could hear her aunt's voice break through the fogginess of her sleepy state. "I'll get some later" was all that Kagome was ever able to get out before she went back to dreamland.
When Kagome woke up again she turned to the clock to see it flash 1:00 a.m. and then hear her stomach grumble for food. Groggily she got up out of bed and stumbled on her way to the kitchen. Clutching the refrigerator door, she swung it open to see what was there to eat. Looking in to see what was left over from dinner, only to find spaghetti, but she was not in the mood for it tonight. Looking at what else was in there to see a big beautiful red apple. Grabbing it off of the counter and taking it to the cutting board by the sink. Looking all around for a cutting knife to find one already laying out like she was to suppose to pick it up. Clutching it to her chest and going back to the apple. She brought down her hand that held the knife to cut the apple only to miss and cut her wrist. Looking when she felt the pain to see the blood spilling from her wrist. She dropped to the floor but while falling she smiled a tiny bit and thought 'mom, grandpa, little brother I am coming.' Her body hit the floor with a loud bang that woke up everyone around the house and in it. Everyone in the house woke up with a startle and ran to the place were they heard the noise. Hiei outside woke up too and went threw Kagome's window and ran like lightning to where he sensed where all the people were at, Pushing Kagome's family out of his way when he smelt the blood of Kagome. Looking down to see Kagome lying there in her own blood broke his heart because even though no one knew but him he had a crush on Kagome just like she had on him. "These violent ends have violent delights." (that saying is by Shakespeare in romeo and juliet)
