Normal: conforming to the usual or typical standard.
Normal… I suppose that used to be me. Before I fell into that damn well, trapping me from ever returning to any type of normality I had possessed before. Yet I don't know if I should be happy or angry with the world for turning me into this. Is there such an epitome for normal?
Chapter 1
Inuyasha and I had become distant lately. Ever since the last incident occurred, there have been no peaceful moments. To the point where Inuyasha feels the need to sleep buried within the branches at the edge of the clearing to stay away from me. Still close enough to be there if trouble were to arise, but far enough to ensure that he doesn't have to have any contact with me.
It has been this way since I committed myself. After our breaking point argument, nothing has stayed the same. Quite ironic considering the fight was just about as cognate as all of our other skirmishes. The only difference was his need to point out how much of a burden I was to him and the rest of the group. The words, 'useless', 'helpless', 'hindrance', and my personal favorite, 'a poor excuse of a copy' were all used in one breath. I couldn't take it. I stood there thinking to myself that if I was that big of a problem to them, then I would leave. Without the pleasure of sitting him I turned away, walking with a feigned confidence out of the clearing and back the way we had started. I even remember thinking to myself, 'I can prove him wrong'.
My resolve was beginning to feel like steel as I continued on.
And I know I'm only guessing, but looking back I think that this distance was due to the fact that I don't look like her anymore. His belief that my soul and hers were one and the same could no longer be sustained, and with that he no longer had a piece of her.
Sango, Miroku and I could not have been closer, especially with their continued support. Yet with them becoming closer and Shippo spending most of his time with the village children, I was pretty much on my own. I guess that's what led me to leave.
Oh! And did I mention the seemingly increasing encounters with a certain demon lord? It's quite strange the fact that the more he comes the faster he gets to the point of wanting me, the time traveling miko, demon Princess of the Central Lands.
