Song of the Day 10/9/11: "Breakeven," ~The Script~
Quote of the Day 10/9/11: "What we found was that girls are strong, determined and confident until they hit adolescence, then things start to change, and they lose some of that confidence."
Disclaimer: I would tell you that I don't own InuYasha, but I don't really feel like it, so go ahead and make your own assumptions…
Kagome
Morning came all too quickly
And then
I was sitting
On the lip
Of the Well.
I needed
To get some more
Essential supplies
Before this happened
So if anyone got seriously hurt
I could help them
Right away.
Sango
Miroku
Kirara
And Shippou
Were sitting nearby,
Working out the kinks
In the plan we'd come up with
On the way here
And waiting for Kouga
And whoever he
Was bringing along.
InuYasha was standing
Behind me
Arms crossed
Face scowling
But
Eyes soft…
"Hurry right back
Kagome;
We don't have time
For you to visit
Or slack off.
This has to happen
Today."
I nodded at him
I knew that
But…
I swallowed
Stopping the words
In my throat
Before they could
Come out -
This was neither
The time
Nor place
For that.
We would both need to
Focus
In this fight
And if I said what I wanted to
Say,
Odds are that wouldn't happen
And that
Would be oh-so very bad,
So I bit my tongue.
Just for the moment.
I pushed off then
Hit the bottom,
Expected to be
Swallowed up
By a blue light
Feel light as a feather
And a bit light headed
And be transported
To my own time
But…
Nothing
Happened.
Had I blinked
And missed it?
I kneeled down
Touched the moist soft soil
Looked up
Saw the light blue
Sky
And soft white clouds
I wasn't in the Well house.
"InuYasha?" I called
With hesitation,
Heart pounding
In my ears,
If he answered,
If I hadn't gone back
What would -
"Yeah, what's up?
I thought you were
Going back."
"I… I was but…
The Well's not working."
"Not working?
What do you mean
"Not working?""
He called back.
He knew.
He knew I wouldn't
Lie about that
And he knew
Just as well
As I did
What that meant.
Neither of us
Wanted to admit it though…
"Come down here
And see for yourself."
He did.
He jumped down
Without a moment's thought
And landed next to me
With a soft 'thud'
Absorbed by the soil.
He looked at me
Eyes wide
Said what I wouldn't
Even dare
Think.
"That
Fucking
Bastard
Sealed
Up
The
Well."
So I've mentioned my douchebag older brother before, right? And I've mentioned how his birthday is this Wednesday, no? And I've mentioned his girlfriend, have I not? So get this: Yesterday, he went over to her house like he does from time to time, and when he came back, he was carrying this big, obnoxious, lime green girft bag and a bowl with cake in it. Turns out, WHF and her family threw boy-wonder a birthday party, which he neglected to tell us about and which we - his family - were not invited to. Pissed our mother off like you would not believe! I had to go to bed, so I missed how any conversations they had last night went, but from what I saw, I can only assume things didn't end well for him. When he walked in the front door, I was sitting in the living room in this really awesome chair of ours and I saw the bag and him with a huge grin on his face and our mom was like, "They threw you a party, didn't they?"
And he was like, "Yeah."
Ooooooh, that dumbass! He would have saved himself a lot of grief if only he'd told her before he left, now he's… Well, he's screwed. He asked my mom if she wanted some of the cake - home-made at that - he'd brought back with him, and she's off unnecessary sugar, so she declined in a totally bitchy way, then he asked me if I wanted some, 'cause I was standing right there, and I told him no. When he asked why, I told him, "I don't know these people, I'm not going to eat anything they made. No offense or anything, it's nothing personal, I just don't know them and you're not supposed to accept sugar from strangers. At least, that's what I've always been told."
My mom smirked and chimed in with,"This is true."
And I continued on with, "Just like you're not supposed to get in the car with strangers just because they offer you candy. Unless, you know, it's really good candy…" Then we walked my dog, I changed, and went to bed, so I dunno how the rest of his night went, but it couldn't have been good. That guy is such an idiot! I get it, he's her son and he didn't tell her his girlfriend's family was throwing him a party, I was kinda offended when I found out, too, but I'm not giving him hell about it. Honestly, how hard would it have been for him to say, "By the way, my girlfriend and her family are throwing me a birthday party today," before he left? And it wasn't a surprise, 'cause if it was, that would have been the first thing out of his mouth the second he walked in the door. Idiot…
Moving on, you're probably wondering about the Well. I've been planning to have that happen since the beginning, I just hadn't gotten a chance to work it in yet and I figured now was as good a time as any, you know? What did you think? Were you expecting that one?
Be sure to let me know what you think!
Peace out,
~Hisa-Ai~
