Girls
are like
apples on trees.
The best ones are
at the top of the tree. The
boys don't want to reach
for the good ones because they
are afraid of falling and getting hurt.
Instead, they just get the rotten apples
from the ground that aren't as good,
but easy. So the apples at the top think
something is wrong with them, when in
reality, they're amazing. They just
have to wait for the right boy to
come along, the one who's
brave enough to
climb all
the way
to the top
of the tree.
The crisp taste, the perfect shade of red; Apples were surely one of the fruits I adored. Although, the taste seemed better when they were grated, for it kept the juices to be a bit sweeter than just biting into it.
"Sesshoumaru, I got you some chocolates." Brown eyes twinkled mischievously at me, as she handed over a box of nicely wrapped chocolates. I stared at them in distaste, I never liked overly-sugary desserts, and they tend to ruin the palate. I grimaced as I took them from my 'girlfriend'. Truly, I never really knew why I was with her in the first place. Possibly because this was previously arranged between our parents, that was the definite reason. I shrugged thanks as she swooned over me until her mother called her inside. I sighed and roamed outside, I stared at their vast yard, the one my parent's owned was a bit larger, but it held no garden as the Higurashi family did.
I sighed as I stared down at the dreaded box. 'Why me?' I moped as I plopped myself down underneath the shade of a tree. I was brought out of my thoughts, the second I heard a bit of ruffling of leaves, I looked around but nothing was in the area…so I believed until a rather heavy red object projected itself onto my scalp.
After tending to the abused area of my head I looked up to find a girl no older than 13 picking apples happily, humming some unknown tune.
"KAGOME, GET OUT OF THE TREE!" Kikyo, her elder sister screeched loudly; hurting my ears a great deal. 'The Higurashi family has more than one daughter?' I looked up once more, and blue eyes stared at me in curiosity. They flickered in the surrounding area, until she spotted the apple in my hand.
"Ah! I'm sorry, did that hit you?" she apologized, giving me the most sincere look.
"You hit him with an apple? Kagome how could you be so rude?" her sister kept babbling about her disrespect and such until I noticed she plopped herself down on a branch, and she began cleaning an apple.
"Why don't you just reach for some of these, they're by far the easiest to grab. A lady doesn't climb trees." Kikyo scolded her, once more.
"Why not climb the tree for a more decent taste. These, are by far the tastiest to eat, dear sister." Kagome easily retaliated before examining the apples she held in a small basket. Kikyo scoffed, and left, claiming she was getting her mother to deal with her. A moment later I saw her carefully shimmy down the tree, and she tried taking the apple from my hand.
"…Yes?" I asked calmly looking her straight in the eye.
"I apologized for it hitting you, but I believe I need that apple back, sir…" she said, again reaching as I took it out of her grasp. Sometimes, I do admire the advantages of height.
"But you have so many, why would you need this one in particular?" I never felt like teasing anyone, but the way her eyes flicked like a match ready to burn up a storm, it was addicting.
"I picked it, it's rightfully mine." She went on her toes and still tried to get it back, after snatching it from my hand, she gave a victorious smirk and waltzed inside. I smiled grimly, it wasn't over yet.
The next day, my family returned to the Higurashi estate, and once again Kikyo leaded me the various locations she considered fun…namely her room. I sighed, and went down, when the smell of cinnamon and apples drove me nearly insane, but what caught me off-guard was the hint of salt. Making my way to the kitchen I saw the same blue-eyed girl sadly staring at a necklace, a fresh apple pie lay before her, obviously cooling.
Her cool eyes, dripped like the falling rain…it was depressing. I coughed and gained her attention immediately.
"Ehe, how foolish of me to cry over a love lost, ne?" she said, forcing a laugh and wiping the remaining tears from her eyes.
"What love is lost, if love is yet to be found?" I told her, as I took a seat across from her. She gave me an incredulous look of mystification.
I looked and saw the same apple from yesterday in a bowl with other fruits, and I looked at her once more.
"I needed it, it looked to be the sweetest." She smiled as she walked over to grab it, the searched in a drawer before pulling something out. She rummaged a bit before coming back with two spoons, a bowl, a grater, and the reddest apple that bonked me previously.
"They taste better to me like this, care to share?" she offered me a spoon, and it almost seemed like her dark hair was swirling around her, her eyes engulfed me, her smile filled the emptiness I never knew I had.
Girls and apples, sometimes go hand in hand. Some big, some small; some sweet, some rotten. It all depends where you pick them.
