Chapter One
She had been sleeping for maybe about an hour or so. Her long black hair was in her face and when the light hit her black locks, her hair color look like the color of a raven's feathers. Her skin was pale like that of a sick persons face. Many thought that she was ill, but in reality her skin color had always looked that way. What was she doing still lying in her bed? Her crystal like blue eyes looked over the blanket and at her clock. It was only… about… maybe 7:30 AM from what she could see. Her eyes weren't that good in the morning… they always had to adjust.
Who was she going to see today? Well that would be Kagome! They have been best friends since they met in Junior High. Stretching her fragile body, a few bones cracked. She sighed to herself and then finally moved her black hair out of her face. She heard her name being called. She wondered who it was. The young girl didn't get up and open her door to see though, she just got up and walked over to her radio and turned it on. The volume wasn't up high but it was high enough to block out whoever was calling her name. Looking through her draws she heard her name being called right in front of her door. She sighed and then kept looking for and outfit to wear.
"Nazomi Open this door!" her mother yelled as she knocked on the door. Finally getting sick of not getting an answer she opened the door and walked into the room to see Nazomi looking for something to wear and the music was on. Nazomi's mother got red and then unplugged the radio. "Now hear me Nazomi! You have a lot to do today!"
Nazomi looked at her mother and then picked out a navy blue skirt that went to about her knees and a navy blue button up blouse that had a black butterfly on the back of it. She listened to the long list of chores. Laundry, cooking dinner, cleaning up after dinner, ironing her father's shirts, going shopping… Nazomi began to lose track of what her mother was saying and then just started to day dream. She walked into her closet and got dressed as her mother continued to ramble. She began to her mother yelling at her to leave the closet, but she was still getting dressed so she didn't. Nazomi's lips hadn't moved once since her mother was in the room. She didn't speak often though because she was afraid of what her mother would do to her. "Please… Mother…." She said in a very quiet and timid tone as she walked out of the closet dressed. She shut her closet door and then sighed.
Her hair was up with a navy blue bow that was about three inches thick. She opened her sock draw as her mother began to scold her about talking back although she didn't. She found her navy blue knee highs and sat down on her bed and put them on like her mother wasn't saying anything. Nazomi hated the yelling that went on all the time. It was all she heard. When she was growing up she was beat by her mother and father… and her father beat her mother. Nazomi had a scar on her back going from her right shoulder to the bottom left of her back from her father. She lied that she had fallen at the hospital and because she hadn't been in for injuries from abuse before they believed her. She was always too afraid tell anyone that she had been abused as a child. She was still abused even at the age of sixteen. She hated her family though she would never say. She got a whack across her face from her mother. Nazomi's eyes slammed shut as her mother slapped her again. Why? Why did this have to happen to her? She held in her tears and then nodded as her mother began to scream at her. She looked over at her door and then got up, looked at her mom and then just ran for her door. She swung it open and then just ran down the stairs. Her blue eyes eyed her shoes and then she slipped them on. They were her brown ones that she always wore.
What was she going to do? She was just running towards Kagome's place hoping that she was still home. Her crystal blue eyes watered and she wiped the tears away as she avoided running into people. Finally reaching the stairs in front of Kagome's she tried to catch her breath. Her eyes were still watering and her hands were sweaty. "Why…?" she mumbled under her breath as she moved strands of her long black raven hair from her face. She began to walk up the stairs slowly but then it seemed like she was going faster and faster. The ribbon in her hair fell out. Nazomi noticed and then stopped to pick it up. As she stood up she saw Kagome with a yellow bag in her school uniform? Was she dreaming? Her blue crystal like eyes were bewildered by what she saw. Kagome walked into the place that Nazomi thought to be a store house. "K-Kagome?" she muttered lowly as she walked slowly over to the store house. There was a blue light. She took a step back and then tucked her raven hair behind her ears.
She stepped into the store house and saw a well? Wait what was that all about? She dropped a small rock that was by the wells opening into the well but there was now sound of the rock hitting the water. Maybe Kagome walked out another opening. Nazomi began to look around the store house there wasn't anything in there really except for some old scrolls. She then stepped on a loose board. "Ahh…" she said in a low quiet tone as she picked her foot up off the floor. She took another step and then her foot went through the floor. Nazomi let out a small scream. It sounded more like a screech. Nazomi tried to stand up slowly but the floor broke and she just kept falling, into a blue light. She squeezed her eyes shut and then put her arms around her head. Then it went all dark…..
