Chapter 4: Changed......Forever?
Her stare was as cold as ever when she looked up to Astrid's face. Astrid withdrew a little, but didn't back away completely. Hitomi's expression was totally unreadable to everyone, but Kagome and Rin knew it all too well and pushed their way through the crowd towards their 'sister.' They struggled through the crowd of bodies and finally reached their target, tho when they arrived they were a little late. Hitomi was holding a struggling Astrid by her neck and was suffocating her. Rin slowly approached since Kagome was too shocked at the scene before her.
'Why? Why now? Why did she change to that other being?' thought Kagome. Then she noticed Rin walking towards Hitomi, and quickly ran towards Rin. She struggled to keep Rin from advancing. "No. Let me go, Kagome-onii-chan!," were Rin's muffled words. "Rin you can't go near her. You might get hurt.," answered Kagome. "But she needs me, sister.," argued Rin. That caught Kagome. Rin was right. Now of all times, Hitomi needed them and here she was afraid to help, afraid of her, what she has just become. She then also realized that she was turning out to be like Hitomi's parents. They hated her for what Hitomi was, but she knew that they were afraid truly afraid of her, so they made her believe that she was the monster, not them.
Kagome let go of Rin, Rin waiting for Kagome to start walking. When Kagome did, Rin walked at her pace. They got closer and closer and stopped right in front of the scene. Kagome placed a hand on Hitomi's shoulder and said, "Stop it, Hitomi. You're hurting her." It was like Hitomi snapped out of a trance, but didn't show it. Her expression was the same, but softer. Hitomi sighed and dropped Astrid. She looked down at an out-of- breath Astrid and said, "Do not insult my pack. We are not sluts nor do we flirt with every male in the pack. I'd watch my step if I were you. I was never ruler of packs for nothing." With that, she took Rin's hand, with Kagome following behind, and walked away from their new pack, not sure if they wanted to return. "What is a 'f- flirt'? asked Rin. "A 'flirt' is a 'slut', Rin.," answered Kagome. "I thought a 'slut' is an 'idiot'?," questioned Rin. Hitomi looked down and said with a smile, "Exactly, Rin." Snickers could be heard from the pack behind them, and they could feel a lot of glowing eyes piercing their backs as they left.
They arrived home. They wanted to go back, but didn't know what would await them. They would leave that discussion for tomorrow. Right now all they wanted was to sleep and hope for good dreams, for they'll never know what kind of questions would pop up from their new found pack.
"Come on, Rin! Please go to school today?," pleaded Hitomi. "No! I have to look after Hitomi-onii-chan! Hitomi-onii-chan might hurt peoples now!," said Rin. Rin kept insisting and knew that she was going to win. She was worried that if anyone made Hitomi mad, Hitomi would hurt people, or worse lead them to the hole of death! She wouldn't allow that to happen. "Argh, alright, you can come.," said Hitomi. "Yay!,"screamed Rin, and with that they all went to the same school.
As they arrived, heads turned to see the calm little girl riding on the back of the motorcycle. Hitomi glared at anyone you decided to make a wise crack joke about their 'little sister' being here. Then, *sigh* someone just had to open their big trap and toy with their lives. I guess they wanna die early. "What! Hitomi babysitting already?! Ah, she's growing up so fast!," said a very familiar voice. Oh, it was just Ayume. She always toys with her life. Giggles and snickers could be heard as they passed crowd after crowd towards their usual place of rest, the willow.
They sat down, Rin taking out her drawing kit and was being well behaved. School didn't really matter to them. It was staying alive that was more important. Then again, what wasn't more important. A few shadows blocked the sun from shining on them. Rin had looked up and greeted, "Hi, peoples!", in a very calm manner. Hitomi looked up, Kagome wanting to mind her own business didn't. She wanted whoever was there to do the same. "So, what was up with last night?," asked Sango, in her usual sweet voice. "It was nothing, Sango.," said Kagome. "It sure didn't look like nothin'. And what was up with that 'Queen of pack' line, huh?," asked Inu-Yasha, pretty much summing up what Hitomi had said the night before. Hitomi saddened a bit and went to sit alone somewhere. She needed to think. It was hard to face another pack that dropped questions about your past out of thin air. Then again, they were pack and needed to know.......everything.
"What's with her?," asked Kouga. "Sometimes speaking of her pack that way can kinda get a person down.," said Sango. "It's the 'Queen of pack' part, and yes, Sango, you are right. Our pack had died years ago from humans who became more than monsters. You could smell the raw silver and blood everywhere. It wasn't a pretty picture. She's guilty because she wasn't there to protect the pack. We kept telling her that it wasn't her fault, but she still believes it.," stated Kagome. Every word had a hint of sadness though it wasn't easy to hear.......for a human, anyway. "What happened to her mate? He should have protected the pack.," added Sesshomaru. "She didn't have a mate. She won the trial herself. How she did it goes farther than that memory, and it is not my place to share information that is not my decision to share.," answered Kagome. This had raised a few questions. She won the trial? Not many females can do that. Yeah, competing against other females to win the honor of being the mate of the pack leader, but competing for the title of the pack leader, itself? You'd have to be pretty strong.
"Why? Why did she do that? It wasn't a big deal to possibly risk your life over.," questioned Miroku. Kagome didn't have an answer to that one, but a tiny voice spoke up behind her. "It was because she wanted change.," answered Rin. "Change? Like what, ruling over the race of man? Taking the pack down a different path?," asked Sango. Kagome looked down at her 'little sister'. She was a bit surprised that Rin had known the answer. 'Well, I guess Rin needs to know at least a little about Hitomi, huh?' thought Kagome. "It was to change the rights of wolves. As you saw, we can change to full wolves, while you and pack can only change to half. Rin have troubling changing to full too.," stated Rin, "We never had chance to live in real world. Every pack boss always take pack into hiding places. Hitomi-onii-chan wanted pack to run free at night at least. And Rin understand that to decide what pack need to do you have to be pack boss. And that what Hitomi-onii-chan did. She won pack trial, and lead pack to freedom to roam with humans." "But it was shortly lived when a few of us got out of hand and showed our true forms to some humans. They were starting to get wilder and wilder and soon led us to our death. It was sad the way Hitomi's dream come true ended with a bang. Literally. She got over it though. And this new pack might help her pass it completely.," continued Kagome.
This knew information was sinking into their brains as the bell rang to start school. Hitomi walked over and put on a cheery smile. Now that you know me, I want to know you.," was she all she said then walked off to her next class with Rin and Kagome behind her. The 5 that were left standing followed them. "Some past you got, Hitomi. It's actually kind of interesting.," commented Kouga. "Yeah, it's interesting to the police too.," mumbled Kagome. "What did you say?," asked Sango, hearing all too clearly like the rest of them. "Oh, nothing. We better get to class.," and she sped off, with everyone else close behind. This was going to be a long day.
Finally! It was lunch and school would be ending soon. But you know when the day is going so great, then you get that little bump in the road. Well that is exactly how it happened when, "Hi, Hitomi, Kagome. I see we've met some boys. Wanna introduce me?," said that oh, so annoying voice of Ayume. "No, we don't want to introduce you to them. You've already made a great impression of yourself already.," said Kagome plainly. "Hi, I'm Ayume. Your's?," asked Ayume, clearly adressing Sesshomaru with her "seductive" voice(more like totally annoying!). "I don't go with amateurs.," he clearly stated, obviously bored. "Um, well, excuse me I have business to attend to.," said Ayume, obviously caught off guard, and too embarrassed to ask the other guys. She walked off with her usual boy/girl posy, Sesshomaru earning a few jealous glares from the guys. He didn't care because he had his eye on one girl, and that one girl could change his life forever.
Change
What is change?
Is it just a twist of the imagination?
The way of living?
Or is it something more?
Does it effect the way you survive?
Why does change happen?
Is it for the better?
Or for the worse?
Humans will never know,
But what humans will always know is,
That change can be good,
Bad,
For the better,
For the worse,
A twist of the imagination,
Or the way you live,
And it will always be different from the day before and after.
