ON WITH THE STORY! :)

The young girl was sitting on the rough, cold, wooden floor in the old run down shack. The ancient looking shack was leaning crookedly and looked as though it were going to fall into pieces any minute. You could tell no one had lived in the shack in ages. There were cobwebs, dust, and termite damage all over the walls, ceiling, and floor. The brokenhearted girl was squatting in the dusty corner of the aged shack, her back was up against the dusty old wall. She felt as though needles were poking through her skin because it walls had splinters. She had tried to fall into the dream world all night to forget about what happened the two nights before, but to no avail. So she was sitting in the corner waiting for dawn to approach. As the cold night air hit her she shivered, her clothes had been ripped by the forest's tree branches. She was running to find a place to hide from...her. Her meaning the evil witch known as her step-mother. The poor girl had been beaten most of her life because of that evil witch. She was covered in cuts and bruises. When she had made her mad a the night before, she had gotten beaten ha. Her face was tear stained she had been crying all night because the pain on her body and in her...heart.

After all her pain and suffering it got worse it sprinkle with rain. There was a hole in the ceiling right above her, the rain was drizzling on her head. She smiled at this her father used to tell her that the angels were crying for someone in pain and melancholic.'I wonder if that person is me.' She thought as she looked through the hole in the roof. She sighed, right now she is soggy and wet and now she is way colder than before. She tried to scoot over to where she wasn't under the hole anymore, but it was to painful to even cringe from the cold air nonetheless move. The rain started to pour now. 'Great' She thought as the rain poured even harder. 'Beaten, almost killed, and now this great just what I need rain'. She use to love rain until... that night. So the girl just sat their still ,but not just waiting for dawn to approach, she was also now waiting for the rain to stop pouring away.

About, maybe two to three hours later the rain stopped. All I can say is that the girl was soaked. Her ears full of water, her and her clothes sopping wet. And she blamed her step-mother for everything that has happened to her through her life. The only person now who would understand everything was her lovely Japanese mother. She was now an angel in heaven though, and the girl sometimes prayed to her dead mother telling her everything that had happened. Now she was smiling at the memory of her mother telling her the story of how her dad and her met.

-Flashback-

"Deary, it is time for bed now." Her mother said as she was tucking her three year old brother Sota in."But MOM you haven't told us a story YET!" The eight year old girl shouted as she ran to her bed. Her brother was nodding agreeing with her. Her mother grinned at her and asked."Which one would you like me to tell, Kagome?" Kagome tapped her chin with her finger to look as though she were thinking. Her mother chuckled and pulled her eight year old daughter into a hug. Kagome had taken a big inhale of her mother's scent. She smelled of rose petals and freshly picked carnations. Kagome pulled away from the hug so to look at her mother's face."Mommy, can you please tell us the story on how the English man and Japanese woman got married?" 'Kagome will love that story until the day she dies won't she?' Her mother thought as she started to smile at Kagome's question. However, little did Kagome know that the story was true. It had happened to the lady that was hugging her. Her own mother. Her mother had told Kagome that story since the day she was born. The story is not only true, but happened ten exact years ago. Then she started the story.

The Japanese woman and the English man

Once there was a Japanese woman about the age of eighteen. She had lived in Japan all her life until one day there was an English man(about the same age as the woman a little older) who came to Japan for a political campaign his father was attending. Though they were only coming for the campaign his father decided to stay awhile because he needed to get away from home. You see his father was the ambassador of England. He always went with his father because he didn't want to be alone by himself. He would of stayed in England at his father's mansion, but he always said it was too boring there without him. So anyway there the was in the market buying some food to make dinner with. She sighed as she picked up the fish. She turned around and suddenly bumped into something or someone. It was the English man. The Japanese woman looked up and suddenly her eyes widened at the man standing in front of her. He was taller than a normal man. He was about six foot four, had beautiful green eyes, and brown hair.

The man smelled like peppermint and sweets that would make your mouth water.

"Ummm...I mean I am sorry." the woman said in her best English possible. The man chuckled and said in her native language "You don't need to speak in English I speak Japanese fluently." She sighed and started to blush a shade of bright red. She looked down to embarrassed to even speak. "I'm sorry I didn't know you spoke Japanese." She replied a minute later. He stopped and started to say(they are still speaking Japanese!) "Do you always apologize for everything?" He asked in with a very sarcastic voice. "No I do not thank you very much." Then she ran passed him and ran to her little house on the hill. The man just blinked for a minute trying to understand what happened. Then he started to run after her. "Hey I'm very sorry!" He cried, but when he did she ran only faster then before on the flat plain to her little house on the farm. She looked back and saw that he wasn't there she smiled and started down the path to her house again.

3 weeks Later

The woman walked into the small house frustrated. Her mother turned around and saw the expression on her daughter's face, and was about to ask what happened but her daughter already answered the unspoken question. "He always knows when I am going to be in the market I try different times, but he is there at that time too! I wish he would just leave me alone!" She shouted using all her lungs to yell and scream. Her mother shook her head and said to her troubled daughter. "Perhaps, he has taking a liking to ye." The daughter looked up with wide eyes. She had never thought about that before. She sighed and stared at the ceiling of the hut, and wondered 'Maybe that wouldn't be so bad if...I liked him too.' She smiled at the thought. She made a promise that the next time she would go to the market she would visit with the man.

2 days Later

The woman never felt so excited before. She was going to talk to the tall, handsome, and not to mention rich English man. She ran to the market eager to get there. However, as soon as she got there she didn't spot the man. She looked every where, but couldn't find him. Then finally she saw him she ran to him and said the simplest thing. "Hello." The man looked shocked everytime he saw her she would run to get away from him, but now the woman he was interested in was in front of him saying hello. "Ummm...Hi" he said quickly not really knowing what to say. "Well lets start over my name is Ai." She said acting as though they were meeting again. "My name is William, but just call me Will." Ever since then the two kept meeting at the market place. However, little did they know they would be falling in love.

3 weeks later

Ai was skipping down the path again to go to the market and to see Will. She had known will for six weeks now. She known that she had fallen in love with him. It surprised her, in such little time she had managed to fall in love. She went to market place to the usual spot to meet Will. He wasn't there though she waited and waited until she saw a man carrying a letter. The man was round, little and has a double chin. He approached her and spoke in English. "Are you Ai?" He asked speaking slowly. Did he think her as dumb? She nodded her head furrowing her brow a little. He gave the letter to her. She opened the letter and read the note.(it is in Japanese)

Dear Ai,

I am sorry that I am not there I am attending a political campaign. Well my father is I am just here waiting for it to be over, but anyway. Will you please meet me in town square tomorrow at noon? I want to tell and show you something. Oh and don't tell your mother your meeting me just tell her an excuse. I know you will make a good one up.

Your friend,

Will

She stuffed the letter in her pocket and went to go buy the things on her mother's list. After she was done buying the food she went back home and slept on what the letter said.

The Next Day

At noon Ai went to go lie to her mother. She went to the kitchen where her mother usually was. "Mama I am-" Ai started, but her mother cut her off.

"Don't lie to me dear just go and see him already." She was astonished how could her mother have known? She shook her head she didn't know, but she knew she had to meet Will. She waved bye to her mother and ran off to meet Will in the town square. She ran through the market and ended up on Unica street. She ran and bumped into some really weird strangers. She apologized to them and started running off to town square again.

Once she got there she was panting and took short breaths. She looked right to left then she saw him. He was sitting on a wooden bench beside the water fountain. He was looking at the water fountain like it was beautiful and amazing. However, Ai just thought he was using his imagination to make the water fountain like that. You see he does this a lot he says that the mind plays tricks on you that everything is magnificent in its own way. She smiled and started to walk up to the English man, her love.

She sat on the bench right next to him. Her breathing got slow, but her heart beat quick. She started by saying "I know that we don't-", but she was interrupted by him. "Ai I love you." He said lovingly and so quick she barely caught it. " And, wait...What?" She continued looking at him wide eyed. "Yes Ai I love you." He said again smiling this time. She looked into his eyes and said "I love you too."He leaned in tilting his head slightly so tha she wouldn't hit his nose. She also went in for the kiss and finally they meet in the middle. He then kissed her and she kissed back with passion. Will showed her the ship they would ride on together. She smiled and raced back home and told her family. Her family all cheered and packed her things for her. She told them goodbye and left with Will. A year later Will proposed, and they got married on the ship. Then Will and Ai had a daughter, and five years later they had a boy. They settled down on an island near Japan. Now they are living happily ever after.

The End

"Good night Kagome." Her mother whispered smiling genuinely. She turned her head to look at her sleeping three year old son. "Goodnight Sota." Her mother tiptoed to the door and went out silently. Just as she left Kagome opened her eyes and whispered quietly "I love you Mama." Then closed her droopy eyes and fell into the dream world.

End of Flashback

Kagome grinned through the tears. 'That was five years ago, the night before she died' Suddenly she heard could hear footsteps. The kind of footsteps where it sounds like it was stomping toward the aged shack. Kagome held her breathe. The door slammed open and a deep man's voice yelled "Tell the Mistress we have found her!"
