Responsibilities Thrust Upon Her: Devotion

At times, Kagome gravely yearned for simplicity; for a life with a chosen husband, he would be a loving man of course, and beautiful kids living in a small serene village on the outskirts of a dense, stunning forest. Around their home, there would be wildlife frolicking here and there singing songs to the moon and the sun or to whomever they wished. Sometimes the animals would visit Kagome and her family, other times they would not, but all that would matter in this simple dream was who was responsible for the family dog.

At times like those where her desire for easy life welled deep in her heart, reality forever interrupted, reminding Kagome that such simplicity would never last eternally, for conflict and resolutions, ups and downs, twists and turns all are components of life; negatives would always accompany positives no matter which path she walked.

So Kagome stood tall in her makeshift leather armor, and as she rallied her late father's rebels, preached of equality and fairness, and named each and every offense the Southern Ruler committed against the Southern people. She spoke clear as her purification powers raised, reinforcing the rebels' faith in her strength and in her passion for their shared cause.

As time went on, and as the last hum of her purification quieted along with her rebel's thunderous howls of agreement and the banging of steel on steel, Kagome decided that if she actually had a choice, she would rather live her life as she was, as a rebel, than live as a wife on the forest's edge. These were not caring times for children in the South anyway and what's life without standing for what you believe in.
