Chapter 21
My mother used to say, back when bad shit happened, that someday I'd look back and understand why everything happened the way it did. At the time I didn't understand what she meant. After she died, it made even less sense. I mean, a century of fighting for survival day in and day out was a living hell. Then I met Kikyo and I thought I understood then. I had even pieced together all the bullshit in my life in my mind so it led me to her. Then even that went to shit and I died, or at least I thought I had.
An angel woke me. She became my friend and through her I met others and found a place that I belong. Something I've never had, not even when my mother was alive. All the craziness in my life made me appreciate that gift and it hit me. I understood. If all those years of being on my own, all the heartache and pain, made me realize a good thing when I found it. Not saying I always saw it right away. I'm not dense but I am a dick and a selfish bastard but Kagome...she didn't blame me for it. Oh sure we fight like cats and dogs, I'll be an ass, rude and obnoxious as always but she never tried to change me and she understood why I'm the way I am because she loved me...no strings attached.
When she was taken from me, all that I had taken for granted when she was here was ripped away from me and again, anything I thought I understood went down in flames. I thought she would always be with me but for three incredibly painful years, she was gone out of my life, just like that.
Three months ago she fell back into my life as suddenly and unexpectedly as the first time. Once I got my head out of my ass, my life became perfect until now. I thought I understood again.
Now I'm back to fucking square one!
SHE WON'T STOP FUCKING CRYING ALL THE TIME! SHE'S BEEN EATING ENOUGH FOOD TO FEED THE ENTIRE VILLAGE THEN BARFING THE NEXT MORNING! WHAT DO YOU EXPECT WHEN YOU EAT THAT MUCH?! OF COURSE YOU'RE GUNNA GET FUCKING SICK!
Don't get me wrong. I mean, up until now these past few months have been the best fucking days of my life. We've been at it like rabbits and nothing is better than the smell of me all over her. Better even than ramen and ramen is ramen is ramen, ya know? Lately it's been stronger than usual, if that's even possible, and then she's been...she's been...oh my gods. OH MY GODS!
