Don't give up. Ever. It can ruin your life. Once you give up, you can never turn back. Your life depends on it. Tick! Tock! Tick! Tock! The clock is moving. Are you absolutely sure of your decision?
I was walking with gloomy eyes as I contemplated the meaning of life. Why does fate want to mess with my life? Why is it that every time I feel as if I feel happy for once, my past comes to haunt me once more? Why did they have to die? It was my fault. I could've saved them, but I didn't, because I was too much of a coward to fight. The only thing I could do was watching them as they died right before my very eyes. Can fate really hate me this much? What have I done wrong to provoke fate? Yet I did, not knowing why. Now I stand here, trying to regain my strength, trying to reclaim my happiness and gain revenge and the hateful name. Naraku. What a sad life I have. I chuckled bitterly. But I had to try. So here I stand, trying to right the wrong I have done. Am I really such a pitiful creature? That whenever I try to claim something, it falls on top of me? Am I really a failure?
I sighed. No use thinking about the past. I looked determinedly at the shrine before me. Here I would learn how to fight – to use the power that was passed to me. I walked over to the shrine. It was time. I opened the door and peeked through.
"Is anyone here?" I called, my voice echoing along the walls. An old woman with fierce eyes walked over to me. She smiled.
"Welcome Kagome."
