A figure stepped out of the darkness. A flickering glow surrounded her, making her body glow. Suddenly in a burst of green light it separated into two figures. They were quietly talking to each other. "Should this happen? Or this?" "I don't know, maybe we should do this..." They took seats at a desk in front of a computer.
With a glance at each other, one pulled the keyboard towards her, while the other had pieces of notebook paper with the outline of a story on it. With the instinct of twins they began working simulatiously. One dictating while the other typed furiously:
I Stand Alone
Chapter 1
By: darkchi
Kagome stared silently out the bus window as it pulled from the station. The hot humid air made her clothes stick to her body. She sighed pulling her blonde hair up onto of her head with her hand, before letting it fall back down. The sun was bright in the sky, and cast a glare onto everything. Even behind her sunglasses she had to squint to see.
She turned away from the window, looking around her at the other ten or so people on the bus. All looking as miserable as she was sure she did. They all were silent not talking, few making eye contact with anyone else. The silence was tense, almost as if everything would shatter if anybody said anything. Kagome could feel her eye's slowly closing as the heat made her sleepy.
Then just as she was dozing off, a loud echoing slap resounded throughout the bus. Quickly followed by a scream of "Pervert." Clearly said in a high female voice. Kagome turned to look into the seat behind her, where the sound had seemed to originate from.
In the row behind her sat a boy and girl. The girl had a scowl on her face and was muttering under her breath. She had long dark brown hair and brown eye's. She was slowly opening and closing her hand in a threatening manner. The boy was smiling stupidly, a giant red mark on his face. He had short black hair pulled into a small ponytail. He had twinkling blue eye's, and when he saw her looking over the seat they flashed for a second.
He all but jumped forward in his seat, sitting up from the slouched position he'd been in leaning on the window. He grasped her hand in both of his saying, "Oh fair lady, may I humbly beg your name?" Kagome raised an eyebrow trying to pull her hand away, "Um." Then without warning an elbow appeared knocking him over back into the window. Where he stayed.
Kagome now found herself face to face with the girl from before. She was staring at the boy with the frown still in place. Suddenly She turned towards Kagome, smiling. Showing her to be really quite pretty. She held out her hand saying brightly, "My name's Sango, that idiot is Miroku." Kagome smiled back, "Kagome." Sango moving slowly so as not to wake up Miroku stood up and moved to sit next to Kagome.
With a sigh she leaned back against her seat relaxing tensed muscles. Sango groaned holding her head. "I lived next door to him, back home. Imagine living next to a pervert your whole life that has always loved girls. Always." She shook her head. Kagome smiled. "I understand. This guy lived next door to me for forever. He was horrible, though not in a perverted way, he was possesive." She shuddered making Sango laugh. The bus was now buzzing slightly with quiet conversations.
"Why are you going to Shikon?" asked Sango quietly. Kagome frowned slightly before saying quietly, "I'm a miko, you?' Sango smiled slightly, "Taiji-ya, to much of a threat for the youkai living in the area." Kagome nodded, "Same here, the local shrine maiden's weren't able to teach me control, and I've been accidentially purifying all the youkai around me."
Suddenly an arm dropped on each of the girls shoulder's making them jump, and punch before looking. "What was that for?" asked Miroku rubbing his head. Which was right between Sango and Kagome's. He suddenly stopped rubbing his head to glance sideway's at Kagome. "You know, I never did find out your name."
He looked at Kagome waiting for an answer. She sighed, "Kagome." He grinned pervertedly, reaching over the seat he grabbed one of her hands. Staring her straight in the eye he said in a serious voice, "Then Kagome, I have a request," he paused dramatically, "Would you bear my child?"
Kagome and Sango sweatdropped, but before she could respond a hand appeared out of nowhere knocking Miroku, back into the window again. Another boy could be seen over the seat. He was tall with long black hair and violet eye's. He growled slightly, "Man was that getting annoying," he turned to Sango, "How many was it he asked back at the station?"
Sango grinned, "Hey Inuyasha, I didn't know you were coming to Shikon too. I thought you were being sent to Miasma?" He smirked, "Naraku, decided he didn't want to deal with me again. He told the courts that I would be 'a bad influence on all his wonderful students that were making such wonderful progress'" They both laughed, at the private joke.
Inuyasha moved to a seat across the isle from Sango, he glanced at Kagome critically, "Whats with the shades?" She frowned, "None of your business." Kagome sighed, extending her hand in front of Sango. "Kagome." He stared at her hand for a second, before grasping it for a second, "Inuyasha, and you'd better remember it wench."
Kagome raised an eyebrow, "Hmm." She reached into her travel bag on the floor at her feet and pulled out her cd player, and with a quick nod in their direction, settled back to listen to her burned cd. She smiled as the first song came on. Pat Benatar's Hell is for Children.
They cry in the dark, so you can't see their tears
They hide in the light, so you can't see their fears
Forgive and forget, all the while
Love and pain become one and the same
In the eyes of a wounded child
Because Hell
Hell Is For Children
And you know that their little lives can become such a mess
Hell
Hell Is For Children
And you shouldn't have to pay for your love with your bones and your flesh
It's all so confusing, this brutal abusing
They blacken your eyes, and then apologize
You're daddy's good girl, and don't tell mommy a thing
Be a good little boy, and you'll get a new toy
Tell grandma you fell off the swing
Because Hell
Hell Is For Children
And you know that their little lives can become such a mess
Hell
Hell Is For Children
And you shouldn't have to pay for your love with your bones and your flesh
No, Hell Is For Children
Hell
Hell is for Hell
Hell is for Hell
Hell Is For Children
Hell
Hell is for Hell
Hell is for Hell
Hell Is For Children
Hell
Hell is for Hell
Hell is for Hell
Hell Is For Children
Hell Is For Children
Hell Is For Children
She settled into her seat as the song changed, staring out the window.
I hear... a voice say "Don't be so blind"...
Always... always... always... always... always... always... always...
I love you...
I feel... like you don't want me around...
Always... always... always... always... always... always... always...
it's telling me all these things...
that you would probably hide...
am I... your one and only desire...
am I the reason you breath...
or am I the reason you cry...
I just can't live without you...
I hate you...
I can't get around you...
I breathe you...
I taste you...
I can't live without you...
I just can't take anymore...
this life of solitude...
I guess that i'm out the door...
and now i'm done with you...
I guess i'll pack all my things...
I guess i'll see you around...
Its all been bottled up until now...
as I walk out your door...
all I can hear is the sound...
I just can't live without you...
Inuyasha glanced over at Kagome, before returning his attention to Sango and Miroku. Who had woken up. Though not for long since almost immediately, he was knocked unconsious again as the punishment for groping. If the girl wanted to be alone then she was welcome to. It was none of his business.
I love you...
I left my head around your heart...
Always... always... always... always...
I love you...
I hate you...
I can't live without you...
I breathe you...
I taste you...
I can't live without you...
I just can't take anymore...
this life of solitude...
I guess that i'm out the door...
and now i'm done with you...
I hate you...
I can't live without you...
Why would you tear my world apart...
Miroku dozed off, and Sango pulled out a book, deciding to get some reading done. Inuyasha sat staring at the other people on the bus, most sleeping as the heat of the bus sapped them of their energy, occasionally glancing at the silent girl sitting staring out the window.
Finally a voice came over the intercom, saying that they would be arriving soon. Slowly Kagome pulled her bag from the floor to her lap, waiting for the song to end. (Saliva's Always)
I see... the blood all over your hands...
I love you...
does it make you feel... more like a man...
was it all... just a part of your plan...
the pistol's shakin' in my hands...
and all I hear is the sound...
I hate you...
I can't get around you...
I breathe you...
I taste you...
I can't live without you...
I just can't take anymore...
this life of solitude...
I guess that i'm out the door...
and now i'm done with you...
I love you...
I hate you...
I can't live without you...
I love you...
I hate you...
I can't live without you...
I just can't take anymore...
this life of solitude...
I pick myself off the floor...
and now i'm done with you...
Always...Always...Always...
Standing up after everyone else had gotten off the bus except for a few other people. Kagome stuffed her cd player into her bag. With a sigh she slung her bag over her shoulder, and made her way to the front and off the bus.
She frowned at the heat that washed over her like a wave, making the bus suddenly seem cool. Pausing a few steps from the front of the bus, she reached into her bag pulling out a black baseball cap. Pulling it on backwards, her long blonde hair falling straight down it the back. As she shifted her bag back behind her she heard heavy footsteps coming down the bus steps fast. Way to fast.
Before she could get out of the way, a boy came flying out the entrance knocking her to the ground. Knocking the breath from her chest. His hands on either side of her face, his nose just above hers.
Her sunglasses fell off with a loud clatter. "Damn." She muttered softly, as the illusion over her hair shattered. The color changing slowly from light blonde to pure black. Her skin which had seemed golden brown became pale and flawless.
She had her eye's closed and could hear voices beginning to murmur around her. Kagome slowly opened her eye's only to come face to face with...
Dee and Ella, looked up from their seats and gulped. Maybe that was a bad place for them to end...they glanced at one another and grinned, "Naw!"
Dee, smirked evilly, "Maybe we should end the story there."
A look came to Ella''s face of horror. "Why we couldn't do that, it would be so mean." Dee's smile only grew, "Hmm...is that a bad thing?" "Yes!" "You sure?" "Yes!" "Positive?" "Yes!" "Ok, maybe one more chapter, but..." "What?"
Dee looked back at the computer and shook her fist. "I demand reviews!" Ella sweatdropped. "Is that all you care about? Reviews?" Dee blushed furiously, "Of course! I live for reviews."
Ella groaned holding her head. "Your um...special." Dee just grinned. Suddenly a light appeared around the two. And a voice spoke. "There you are, I was wondering what was going on. Time to merge again." An bright green light flashed and the two began to become transparent and float together.
With another flash of light a new figure appeared, a tall girl with long brown hair like Ella, and hazel eye's like Dee. She smile a relieved smile. "Finally, I thought that would take forever. My name's darkchi, the true author of this story. I just want to say before I demand you leave that I don't, and saddly probably never will, own any of the Inuyasha characters. Thanks, have a nice day."
"Oop's before I forget. I just want to say I hope to have the next chapter out soon."
Hey Dee here I just want to say I've got a quote to read, tell me if you like it!
You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Old St. Paul's Church, Baltimore, MD dated 1692
She grinned, "Tell me if you like it."
"Dee, where are you, we're leaving!" Ella came into view. She smiled faintly, "I should have guessed. What'd you add?" "Nothing." "Dee." "Nothing!" "Fine, but if I find you wrote something inappropriate..." "I know, I know. Lets go." With that she turned off the computer, following Ella out the door, their bodies merging as they walked.
