Something I Should Remember
Chapter 1: Thoughts
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The spring's morning breeze kissed each individual rose and lily in the shrine's garden and playfully danced with the sacred willow trees. Up in the second story window of the house, which lived the family that owned the shrine, was a girl that stood motionless.
The young girl gazed blankly at the ballet dancing leaves, and looked as if she was in her own world. She was an attractive girl was shining black hair that reached a couple inches below her shoulders. And dark mesmerizing eyes that were almost black, they were so brown. She was neatly dressed in her high school uniform that had no wrinkles or stains.
Looking at her you could tell that everything about her was prefect. Her, her grades, her life, well you would think her life was prefect, but the way she just stared out the window made you see that she was truly lonely deep inside.
'Is it time for school yet?' the girl thought to herself looking at her cat watch that had two little cats running around the center, pointing to the minutes and the hour. She let out a sigh. 'Nope, I got 15 minutes.'
She listened to the chimes that came from the bells strung on the sacred tree. "They're so peaceful. Gosh, I guess I'm always so busy I never stopped to really listen to them." Closing her eyes she leaned her head against the wall. Slowly she drifted off to sleep, and then the song changed. It became a shrill whisper that was most uncomforting. Her eyes squeezed together to make you think that she was in a lot of pain.
"It's you. I finally found you. I am so happy. I thought ... You are here .. You need to come .." it was a familiar voice to her but she couldn't tell if it was a man or woman. It giggled, and a blurry picture came into focus. It was barely seeable. It was almost like a silent move. Figures could be seen moving around with ease. It was odd the way she took pleasure in watching them walk side to side.
Then the voice started to sob. "Why did you .. Leave? You. were ..over.. And ... Come .. Back!"
"What?!? Who are you? I don't know you. I'm so confused." She wailed in her dream.
"You left.. And." It was cut off in an instant as the picture of fuzz was blown away in a wind like motion.
A frustrated yell reached her ears and a rapping noise filled her head, "Kagome! Ka-gome, you need to get up, your 5 minutes late for school." The voice was Kagome's mother, and she was knocking on her bedroom door with all her might hoping it would slow down time. "Come on hunny!"
Kagome woke with a start. "School!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Ms. Higurashi," A sly voice sang to her as she entered the room quietly, and secretly on the ground trying to make it to her seat unnoticed. "I'm so glad you have decided to join us." Kagome looked up from the crawling position she was in at the back of the class and stood up automatically, knowing that she had no escape.
"Well, hello Mr. Kimia." She replied in an equally as happy voice. Looking at the tall, slender man with greased back, gray hair. The big smile slowly appeared upon her face. And the whole class laughed at the scene created by her tardy. "I am hoping I haven't missed anything important, yet."
"No, you haven't." Mr. Kimia's fake smile immediately fell from his face and glared at her with a daring face. "Now I advise you sit down it you know what is best for you."
Kagome stood straight and tall, also making a solute sign with her hands over her forehead. "Yes sir, Mr. Kimia. Sir!" And ran to her sit, blushing as she listened to the last of the applause and laughs.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Walking home pondering what happened at school that day, Kagome started to feel a slight pain in her right hip. Shifting the weight of her backpack on her left shoulder, she massaged her hip with her right hand. 'God, today can't get any worse. Can it?'
"Kagome! Kagome is that you?" A pure innocent boy's voice called out for her.
'Oh man! I can't believe this is happening.' She frowned and slowly turned around to the sweet voice putting on her best show smile. " Oh, hi Hojo. I'm so glad to see you, I've had a horrible day and you're just what I need right now."
"I'm so sorry to hear that Kagome. But I just wanted to catch you before you left. I have something for you." They both stopped in the middle of the sidewalk; Hojo shuffled around in his backpack for something. As she waited she looked back towards her high school. Further back a little tunnel made by hovering trees could be seen.
Confusion filled Kagome's face as she stared at it blankly. "Um, Hojo? Have you ever noticed that little tunnel thing back there?" Kagome pointed to the entrance that everyone seemed to be ignoring.
Hojo stopped looking for whatever he was looking for and looked back to the direction Kagome was pointing in. "What are you talking about Kagome?" He looked back at her with a worried face. "Kagome, maybe you should go home and lay down a bit. Are you ok?"
"Of course." She gently snapped at him not trying to be mean. Why would he ask a silly question like that? Kagome looked back at where she had seen the tunnel and opened her mouth to correct him. But when she found the exact place it had been, nothing was there and she snapped her mouth shut. "Maybe you're right Hojo, I'll go lay down. See you later, you can give me whatever you were looking for later." She spun in the direction of her house and walked, waving back to Hojo with out looking back.
"Yeah, bye." Hojo whispered to her sadly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'Am I going crazy? Or do I just need glasses?' Kagome thought while she rolled over onto her back on her bed so she could look up at her ceiling. 'No, I'm perfectly normal. Good thing today is Friday. I can go back to see if that stupid thing is really there in the morning.'
"I'll just go to bed early tonight so I can wake up early tomorrow." She resounded with herself, as her eyelids became heavy.
