INFO* As requested from a reviewer, I put this into seperate paragraphs instead of writing it all together like I normally do. I'm so sorry if anyone else was having a hard time reading this. I've also had complaints of somewhat about update dates. OK, I don't want to sound rude but I have college and a part-time job to juggle... I just set up dates to guide me along(the dates are my days off from work). Everyone would be disappointed if I pushed writing aside and only updated maybe 4 times a month or probably even less...be happy when I do update, please? All of you help me keep sane through these very special 4 years of my life(now only 2 more since I'm a SOPHOMORE!)..everyone's reviews also make me a better person to be around and actually help my extremely low self-esteem...

sorry to get my personal life mixed in with this...continue to read :D


Clouded Memories

Snowball One

Kami-Sama waved his hand over the cloud and another clip appeared.
"Oh please. Don't show this..just, don't." Kagome stood up from the rather comfortable chair and look at the bright light with sad eyes.
"I'm sorry my child, but this event is one of the most important that ever happened in your life. This event caused a snowball effect and is the only one really significant enough. Trust me, I hate to see you cry and wouldn't show this if I could. Rules are rules." Kagome swore she saw the light's arm cross and heard some sort of sigh. She would try to get out of this at least.
"But isn't there another event later than this that snowballed? Please Kami-sama!" Tears were streaming at this point. Even though she really had no idea what InuYasha had done when they weren't speaking, she had a pretty good idea in the present.
"I'm sorry but here we go." The clip continued from the beginning and Kagome sat back down, wiping the tears from her face, and preparing to shed more for later.

Kagome put the papers on the teacher's desk in a neat position and closed the classroom door behind her. Preparing the teacher's work wasn't all that hard but it left her at school until at least 5. She glanced at her watch, 'Almost 6..This is later than usual.' she thought. The hallway seemed scary when no one was around; quieter than it normally was. She continued to walk down the long hallway until she reached the steps that led to the 1st floor. Being the only 14 year old, straight 'A' student in the 8th grade wasn't all rainbows and unicorns. InuYasha and her had finally become a couple, even though it took him almost 2 years to ask her out. It seemed awkward at first but it was wonderful all around. She glanced down at the necklace she received on her 12th birthday. She never took it off as it told her mood. It was pink, so she was happy thinking about him and being at the bottom waiting for her. He always waited for her at the end of the school day and walked her home. He always said he'd never leave her too.

She took the last step and glanced around near the shoe lockers for him.
'He always meets me here...' Kagome looked around every corner before finally giving up. Almost near her shoe locker, a figure appeared in front of it and stood there.
"What do you want Koga?" Kagome said, trying to push him aside in the process. She didn't find out until after InuYasha asked her out that Koga had always liked her. Ever since news spread around, he'd always been trying to steal her away from InuYasha.
"I just want some sugar, sugar." He sounded really weird, more weird than usual. He let out a sigh and Kagome smelled alcohol from his breath.
"Koga, are you...drunk?" Kagome managed to open her locker and started taking her shoes off.
"I'm perfectly fine, now come here!" Koga grabbed her by the waist.
"Let go! InuYasha will-" Her sound was muffled by lips pressing on hers. Koga was kissing her!
"Stop-!" She tried to pull away but his force came stronger.

"Hey Kagome, sorry I was late but I had this track meet and-" InuYasha stopped in his tracks when he saw two shadows and moaning coming from the other side of the lockers. He snuck around and gasped at what he saw. Kagome was kissing Koga! His face turned an awful shade of red and a low growl escaped from his mouth. He stomped over to where they were and pulled Koga off of Kagome; he slammed Koga into the row of lockers beside him, knocking most of them out.
"We are leaving. Let's go." InuYasha grabbed Kagome's wrist with a hard grip and ran out of the front door.
"I'm barefoot!" Kagome yelled at him.
"Keh!" InuYasha let out. He turned a sharp corner and ran through their short cut to Kagome's house. He dragged her inside the front door, shutting the door behind them, and sat her down on the bottom steps of the marble stairs. It was quiet for a few minuted until InuYasha finally spoke after walking back and forth between her and the front door.

"Why?" he asked with anger and frustration.
"He came unto me." Kagome softly spoke.
"And you didn't bother to try and back off, much less get him off of you?" he stopped and looked down at Kagome.
"I tried but he was drunk and acting weird and calling me weird names.."
"So you thought you would take advantage of that?"
"No! He pulled me to him by my waist and pressed his lips on mine! Why are you acting so defensive!" She stood up on the bottom step, seeing eye to eye with InuYasha.
"I'm your boyfriend. Aren't I suppose to try and defend you?"
"Then why weren't you there when I walked out of the classroom. You know I have to do this every Monday, sometimes running late, but you weren't there-"
"I had a track meet! It was about nationals! You expect me to miss that?" He threw his hands in the air in rage.
"You said you would never leave me. You promised."
"I'm not some bodyguard! I am a being that has just as much important things as you do! I may not come from a fancy neighborhood like some people but-"
"Oh! You are bringing that into the argument again?" Kagome stomped her foot, her face turning just as red as InuYasha's.
"What if I am? What are you going to do?" InuYasha smirked.
"What if I do this?" She grabbed the necklace and snatched it off of her neck. Tears streaming from her face, she threw it as hard as she could at the floor. It was like hearing a beautiful stain glass window being smashed into millions of pieces.
"No.." InuYasha dropped to his knees and started picking the pieces up. Kagome just stood there in shock. The most beautiful present she had ever received broke. It changed from its happy pink to its dark violet shade in a metter of seconds. She watched as InuYasha picked up every tiny piece and placed them in his hand.

After every shattered piece was picked up, he walked passed her without a word and slammed the front door behind him Is it over between them or..? Kagome was maudlin about everything that just happened. She broked down crying right there on the newly polished marble floors. Everything over the years, ruined in a matter of minutes. She curled up in a ball on the same step and sobbed until she couldn't anymore.

Kami-sama stopped the cloud and turned towards Kagome, seeing her surprised face.
"Why did you just show me what I just told you during the last event? My review, remember?" Kami-sama laughed.
"What's so funny?"
"I will show that event next, I just wanted to remind you of this."
"But..I.." Kagome was confused. Didn't he just say he couldn't skip this?
"This is part one of the snowballing effect. I told you I can't skip an event." The light twinkled, indicating a wink.
"But-"
"Shh. Now I show you the next event. He pulled a second cloud from the first cloud and waved his hand over it. Kagome smiled after she got what he did. She settled in and waited for the next clip to start.
