I'm Still Here

The sleeping girl woke up and sat straight up. She was breathing heavily. She desperately tried to calm herself down.
"It was only a dream, only a pant nightmare…" she said to herself.
She got out of bed and looked out her window. The stars were dancing in the sky and the moon was full. She had seen many nights like these only those nights she had been outside lying on the ground with the trees surrounding her and her friends were always with her. But most importantly he was there.
She couldn't stop thinking about her nightmare. He was fighting to protect her, risking his life for her again. Blood was running down his face, he was getting tired, but he wouldn't give up he never did. He seemed to be winning but just as he was going to deal the final blow, the demon he was fighting struck him hard with its mace. He fell to the ground in a bloody pool, and said "I love you, Kagome."
The next morning Kagome woke up feeling refreshed. Last night after looking out the window for a few minutes she went back to sleep and didn't have another dream. For the moment she couldn't remember her nightmare.
" Kagome! Kagome! Are you up?" came her mother's voice from the other side of the door.
"Yes mom I'm up."
"Well get dressed we have to go pick out your gown today."
"Yes mom, I'll be down in a minute." Kagome said, she heard her mother walk away.
Kagome slowly got up, picked some clothes and went into the bathroom. She turned on the shower and stepped in. While she was washing her hair she thought about the most recent events in her life.
A few months ago Hojo asked her to marry him. Kagome had hesitated but said yes. Her wedding was in one month and there was so much still left to do. Today she was going to get her wedding dress. She knew she should be excited for the wedding but some how she wasn't. She was still trying to hang on to the past. Still trying to hang on to him.
"No Kagome, that was the past. He's not here to save you anymore." She whispered to herself.
Half –an-hour later Kagome came rushing down the stairs. She ran into the kitchen. Her mother and her Grandpa were talking, and her teenaged brother was stuffing his face as usual.
"Sorry, I took longer then I thought." Kagome said as she sat down at the table.
"Hurry up and eat Kagome, you don't want the store to close do you?" Her Grandpa said.
"Grandpa the store doesn't close for another 5 hours!" Kagome replied.
"It is better to be early than late, for example, in the ancient history book I'm reading-"he was cut off by Sota who said
"Grandpa you tell us the same story every time we wake up late. Can't you think of anything else to say?"
" Well Sota……"
Kagome walked out of the room she was done eating. And she didn't want to listen to Sota and Grandpa fight. They did the same thing every morning.
"Ready to go Kagome?" Her mother asked from behind her.
"Yes mom."
"This is going to be so much fun. I remember picking my wedding dress. sigh Well I guess we should get going." Her mother said.
Kagome was thankful to have such a wonderful mother. She always listened to what Kagome had to say and let Kagome make her own decisions. She even let Kagome stay in the house, Kagome was now 22, all of her school friends had been kicked out at 19.
Kagome climbed into the car that was parked at the bottom of the stairs that lead to the shrine her family owned.
"Your friends Ayumi, Eri, and Yuka will meet us there." Her mother said happily.
"Great!" Kagome replied. Her mind shifted to think about him again.
"No Kagome, he was 7 years ago! If only I could go see him one more time. If only I didn't seal the well." She thought.
└ So what did you think? Good? Bad? Well I tried. Pretty good for my first story I think.
I will update soon!
