The moon's shadow

Chapter One

She woke up to the sound of someone yelling "bye honey, I'm leaving now". Slowly she opened her eyes, then struggling to escape the clutches of the blankets that were holding her captive. Kagome popped her head out of the covers, then rolled over to see the blurry red numbers that flashed on the clock that was sitting on her nightstand. It read 6:12 am. "Uuuurrrrrggggg", she growled. She rolled back over, Kagome was still trying to get used to this, her new life. Before Kagome was generally a morning person, getting up, early making breakfast for her family, and then going off to school, it was her routine. But not for a long time and it all started 6 years ago, when one of the worst things she could possibly think of happened.

flash back

A 10 year old girl with raven black hair was tugging on her father's shirt as he was getting into the car.

"Why can't I go? Souta's getting to go, come on dad that's not fair!"

"Kagome we're just going to pick up your grandfather, now stop being such a baby."

"Fine I'm never talking to you again, you're not my favorite anymore."

Later the little girl was talking to her mother while she fixed dinner.

"Mommy…why didn't daddy want to take me, he always takes me everywhere. It's just not fair I thought I was his favorite."

"Well Kagome you know that your birthday is next week, and you even said it yourself your go with him everywhere, now how is he supposed to go buy your present with you always around him" she said winking at her daughter.

"Oooooohhh" she grasped.

"Now do you feel bad about what you said?"

"Yes, very" she said putting her head down.

Ring, ring, ring! The phone was going off in the other room. "I'll be right back baby, will you watch the food for me please?"

"Yes mommy."

From the next room.

"What…what are you talking about, no…it…it's not true, it's just not possible."

Kagome's mother burst into tears as Kagome came rushing into the room to see what her mother was shouting at. Kagome ran to hug her mother.

"Mommy what's wrong?"

"K…ka….go….me, baby….your….father's ….car …got… hit …by a …truck." Her mother managed to get out between strangled sobs of choking tears.

"What?!"

"They…their all ….dead."

"Nooooooooo."

That night Kagome and her mother cried their selves to sleep in each other's arms.
