Hi everyone! I really hope you are all enjoying my stories. I really want to thank everyone for all their reviews; they mean the world to me. When I wrote this story, I didn't know exactly who I wanted it to be. So I will let the reader decide. It can be Kagome, Rin and even Sango. Hope you enjoy, and next chapter will be from the boys - I know some who will love that.

As always, I do not, with great sadness, own Inuyasha.... Maybe in my next life :D

The Power of the Daisy

It's a beautiful summer day in Feudal Japan. Yet a young woman is left all alone, all her companions left her. She looks up at the bright blue sky admiring its beauty. Birds flew over her head and she couldn't help but wish she could become one with them. How she wish she could fly, wished she could have wings. Still, her feet were planted on the hard ground. She wished she could escape all the death, all the sadness. Sometimes, she thinks that all this is but a dream, that she will wake up and see all her loved ones hovering over her. She can't help but feel that her life might end, sooner then she wished possible. She hoped that she could die an old lady. She would have children and grandchildren to spoil and play with. Even though today is a beautiful day, she can't see that far away in her future. She sees dark clouds forming, something bad will happen, and it will happen soon. Her companions will come to get her soon; they will tell her that they have to go. Naraku will be around the corner. Untold trials await and she wonders if she is strong enough, she wonders if she will survive. She takes a deep breath trying to cleanse all her negative feelings. She should think about happy things. This day was made to be enjoyed, not to dwell on problems and "what if's".

She slowly played with the soft green grass as she notices a beautiful daisy. She always admired the flower, the simplicity it held. She wished life could be simple. She wished she could know what she is feeling, all her emotions seems so knotted. She slowly picked up the daisy and inspected it closer; she smelled its calming scent. As she caressed its soft petals, she remembered a game that she played not so long ago. It was a game girls played to know if the man they cared for loved them or not. It is a silly game she told herself, yet she needed hope, she needed to have something to look forward to. She picked off petal after petal as she whispered to herself:"he loves me, he loves me not, he loves me, he loves me not... he, he loves me! Sudden joy filled her heart. Even though it was a silly game, she told herself, she looked up at the bright blue sky and smiled. There was hope for her after all.

She slowly dusted herself off while holding the heart of the daisy to her heart. Her heart screamed of joy as she believed that he really loved her. A small smile appeared on her soft face.

"... We are ready to leave!" she turned around to see him. Even though his voice held no specific emotion at all she locked eyes with him and saw something, something she couldn't define. She didn't know what the future held and part of her didn't want to know. What she wanted to think about was today. Today was the day that she found hope. She slowly walked towards him and together they continued their journey. They were ready to face their future, side by side.

The end

Its short but I find it sweet no? Don't you see that this may be the pure Kagome... or maybe it's the strong Sango... better yet it can be sweet innocent Rin. I leave it to you all to decide. So get ready for part 2 where it's the boys turn to find out the power of a daisy.
