Life of the Warrior
Leaving home
Kagome's eyes snapped open. She was still kneeling in the shrine. Then the enormity of what she had just seen hit her, it had not happened yet, but, somehow she knew it would. "GRAMPS!!"
Hearing his footsteps behind her she turned around. She told him of her vision "…and every one in the village was dead. When they couldn't find me they were going to burn you guys too!"
"Kagome are you certain? Is that all you saw?"
"Yes grandfather"
"Then we must tell the village and leave as soon as possible. Go tell your mother, I will tell the village."
The entire village was packing. Every family was going somewhere different. Some were going to stay with family, some were going into the mountains or forest, and some had no idea what they were doing, only that they must leave.
Kagome's family was heading into the mountains; there they hoped they could rebuild their life. While packing her stuff Kagome had decided something, she had yet to tell her family. **The fact there is a keeper in the family has caused such big problems. I have to make them understand they would be better with out me.**
Slowly Kagome picked up her pack and walked down the stairs, dreading what was to come. She found her mother in the kitchen packing food for their journey. Kagome stayed in the shadows of the hallway watching her. **I can't do this…** Kagome ran back upstairs; she grabbed a scrap of parchment and her charcoal stick.
Dear mother, Souta, and Gramps,
I have decided that I cannot come with you. Keepers have become the cause of our problems and I don't want to increase them. I am going off alone to spread the story of the Warrior. I've taken all my money, some food, some clothes, and a blanket. Please don't worry, I will visit you soon.
Love,
Kagome
Kagome signed the letter and wiped the tears from her eyes. **Hopefully mother has left the kitchen** She snuck down the stairs with an excuse ready if people found her. Her family was not able to take all the food of course, so there was plenty for Kagome to grab and pack in her bag.
After sneaking back upstairs with food and cooking supplies she packed her bag and prepared to leave. Her family was not leaving till first light so all Kagome needed now was for them to fall asleep.
Kagome woke with a jolt. **Shit! What time is it???**
She grabbed her bag and the note. Then she tip toed down to the kitchen and left the note in the most obvious spot. Before she left, Kagome slipped into each family members room and said a quiet good bye.
Then the last Keeper walked out of the house, for the last time.
Reviews are nice, but I don't beg… o.o
