Hello everyone, I have been away for close to a year. And during that time a lot of has changed. This is going to be a re done story of "chasing you down" I am not promising much. But when I wrote this story close to three years ago , I was but a teenager. This is the one story of mine that became a hit. With 400 reviews and close to 300k reads. I am re doing this story in hopes to make it better.
If you know me, and stuck with me with the last story you should know during the time I was writing this story I had lost my little sister. Not only that my son , who is now five, had a lot of health issues. I was not able to write to my best ability , and I rushed everything. I have no shame in it. But I am now re editing, re doing it for my loyal and supporting readers, and for myself.
As always, this story is MA, not M.. MA. Graphic and not child friendly. Read at your own risk.
Thank you for all the love and support.
Chapter one .
Chasing you down.
"Good people are like candles; they burn themselves up to give others light." – Unknown.
Mid-summer was always the best time of the year, with the warm weather finally in full bloom, it always promised good times. It was the time to care for crops, listen to the soft laughter of the village children running about. Summer nights in the arms of your beloved, it was a good time of year; no one could disagree with the joys of summer.
Though this summer offered more to celebrate, it was a summer no one would forget. A summer people would speak about for many years to come. History shifted finally, this time for the better. In the years following this summer, every year was a promise of death sweeping the lands. Humans and demons both running wild with fear, both finally siding up to put a stop to the evil that took over their lands. It was a war infested time with bloodshed with the company of heartbreak. An evil spider slowly raised the ranks of power, lusting with greed over the piling bodies that offered him life. No man could shake this monsters strength; no man could put an end to the terror this monster bestowed.
Japan slowly slipped into ruins, for villages burned to the ground; people fled with fear, men falling into sweet embrace of death after battling hordes of demons that pledge their land. In this time hope was but a flicker, slowly diming with each rising of the sun. Their hopes resting on a small mix matched group of fighters that traveled the lands in search of the monster.
It took years for the battle to come, yet it had ended so quickly. It was all due to a small slip of a girl, hardly over a hundred pounds, standing not taller than five four, had saved them all. One shot of an arrow ended the war that was forced upon them. With her eyes sight set, her fingers clutching tightly to the bow and arrow; she pulled back and shot with all she had. Allowing her powers to flood the last arrow she carried with her, an arrow that would decide if she lived or died.
Thankfully the arrow hit true to its mark, as it pierced the heart of Naraku the sky exploded with the beautiful colors of pinks tangled with the soft purples. In the midst of the explosion cries of pain rang out, it was these cries that told everyone that they had finally finished what took years to stop. All the violence was over; people would finally come to know peace once more. Japan would once again rise to great power, to be a strong country it once was.
It was all over thanks to a little girl name Kagome.
. . .
Yet fate was never to kind to the girl, the kami though loved their little child. She was a gift sent down to save her people; they knew she had a path no other would have. With such a gift, there would be many hardships along the way. Yet the Kami's knew their daughter would face all with a smile. Kagome would always come out on top, no matter what she had to face.
It was the beginning of the long road ahead; only thing is Kagome thought she finally finished her task.
This is just a short opening to the starting of this chapter. I know I have a lot of stories to catch up on , some stories though will be taken down. This though is something I have been going over in my head for the past few months. Plus a few upsetting reviews is what pushed me to start over.
I will be starting on the next chapter, I promise it to be longer.
