Camp Shikon

by Sakura Tsubari

"Camp Shikon is in the middle of the woods. There are no cars, no decent cabins, and worst of all, NO RUNNING WATER. And the freakin' thing lasts two weeks. Two. Whole. Weeks." Kagome is sent to Camp Shikon. It's the worst thing that could have happened.

Chapter 10

There's no reply. I call out again to the mysterious light. "Hello?"

"Kagome?" the voice replies, startled.

"Yes, it's Kagome. Who are you?"

"I'm Sango!" Oh, now I recognize the voice. Yep, it's definitely Sango. "How do you know about the meadow?" I ask as she approaches me.

"I've gone to camp here before."

"Really? I didn't know that."

"It's true. Last year, I went exploring in the woods and discovered it. Although it had less grass." I laugh at that. Sango sits down next to me. "So, whatcha got there?" she asks curiously.

"My journal." I hug it closer to my chest.

"Cool! What do you write in it?"

"Practically everything." She laughs. I set the diary down on my lap and flip through the pages.

I'm not ready to show her anything personal yet, but I do decide that it'll be okay if I let her look at some of the random unimportant pieces in it.

I find the page. "Like, here I wrote about the time when my cat accidentally tripped while walking down the stairs."

"Aw, that's sad! Was your cat okay?"

"Yeah. He's so fat that he bounced the whole way down." We both break out in a mad fit of giggles when I show her the simple drawing next to the story. Buyo looks like a rubber ball with whiskers.
