Ghost
Chapter 1, Siren of the Spirits
Life has always been a beautiful melody, filled with the notions of people all over the world. It will always be a gift as well as a sin and at times, you won't even be able to identify which one. My mother has always taught me that, but she never believes me when I apply that teaching to my own experiences. I am able to see spirits of the dead mingling throughout roads and houses, even in my own backyard. They are everywhere. There are many of whom say I am crazy, that what I am seeing does not exist, but I have given up the battle between insane and sane. The dead beckon me, but at the same time push me away, I only wish to be normal. I only wish to have a friend.
Sincerely,
Kagome
The delicate white long- fingered hand gently shut the book of her latest diary entry, slowly dragging her hand on the face of the black cover, fingering the outline of gold at the edges. Quickly and gently she placed the book into her drawer and locked it with an old spare key, casually slipping it under the bed as if it had never been there.
The raven-haired girl sat at the front of the bed, her glimmering brown eyes widened slightly as an eerie glowing figured appeared beside her, seeming to be a little girl whose white dress was slightly tattered. Kagome was used to seeing her, gently standing on air itself and staring into space. The girl's eyes had no pupils and were entirely black as most spirits were, but unlike any other spirit, she held a mirror that showed no reflection of anything.
Kagome tilted her head slightly looking at the girl who was beside her. 'Am I truly that crazy' she thought as she watched the girl's shoulder length white hair float gently around her. The little girl finally locked eyes with Kagome's sad ones, her entirely black orbs asking for something that Kagome couldn't quite place.
Unexpectedly, Kagome's younger brother of about 9 years burst into the room at once with a school bag in his hands. "Onii-chan, mom says you need to get ready for bed cause school is tomorrow," Souta repeated as quickly as possible wanting more than anything for this night to end so he could go the school first thing tomorrow morning.
"Of course Souta, I was just… thinking I guess," Kagome replied in and calming tone, she always did have the most soothing aura of them all.
"Come on sis, you can't be scared of your first day as a junior can you, I mean you're 17 years old…. hehehe unless you're a chicken", Souta chuckled as he came to sit on her bed next to her, effectively going right through the eerie looking girl without even realizing it.
Kagome glanced up at the girl as she looked back at Kagome with solemn eyes and faded from view. She then glanced back down at Souta who was staring at her the whole time with a curious expression.
No one but Kagome could see these figures, but despite that fact she had told many people about them, including her family. Often times, she would tell her little brother Souta stories of the spirits she had seen and how they looked and Souta's face would faze to many emotions, most of them being scared. But her mother always told her it was rubbish and dismissed it like it was nothing but a bad joke.
Souta finally spoke up saying "Well, I guess we better hit the sack huh sis?"
Kagome smiled warmly at Souta ruffling his hair with her slender hand before answering, "Of course, good night"
Souta hopped of her bed and slipped out the door mumbling a "night" as well, while he yawned while closing her door.
Kagome tucked herself into bed wishing for this year of school to be bearable.
