Ok on with the story…
Whaaaat?! Who the fuck is that? Kagome slightly turned around only to see a silver-haired boy standing behind her. He was wearing a red T-shirt and black pants, he also had a really stupid cap on. No actually it looked stupid on him…
But what caught her eye was his golden-amber eyes. His look was so…deep.
Its like he's not from this world… but I won't let him distract me from it! Kagome was determined to put an end to her painful life, she didn't care for anybody who was trying to change her opinion.
You won't get between my destiny and me! Kagome prepared herself for another jump.
"Oh common you heard me! You know you can't do it! You're just too scared and desperate!"
Who the hell was this guy to tell her she couldn't do it? Was he so desperate to be a witness of a suicide attempt? So what do I have doubts about this NOW? She didn't want to answer him and start a conversation or better yet a dispute…
"If you really wanted to die you would've done it by now. Common you came up here with the hope that someone would save you." He was pushing her…and got no answer so he continued
"You could've chosen a different …more intimate death, less out-front!"
If this arrogant idiot won't shut up I-I –I'll aaaaaarghh!
He was waiting for her to react What is it with this girl?! Is she a deaf-mute? He climbed up the railing next to her and tried a different approach. Grabbing her hand he simply said, "Wanna jump? Let's jump then."
Kagome was stunned, she stood there, a huge sweat-drop hanging over her head anime-style. This is my thing I don't need help…
"Listen if you're gonna do it, do it right. At least let me join you, I've got nothing to lose anyway…"
"Are you INSANE?! You're gonna get killed!" Kagome yelled nearly growing him deaf. Then she realized what a stupid thing she said. Of course he knew the leap was fatal! But that was the purpose of it…and she probably sounded frightened…just great!
Oi so she can speak! "I'm gonna count to three and then we'll jump."
The silver-haired boy looked so determined to jump and the funny thing was she trusted him.
Since when do I trust a total stranger to guide me trough such a thing? I must be crazy…
She trusted him the way she never trusted anyone before. She tightened her grasp; she was not going to give up. He counted very very slowly, she looked into his amber eyes …3…2…1
An eternity passed and then they finally leaped over the bridge, holding each other's hand. Both let an outraging scream out. It was just like flying and Kagome wanted it to last forever.
Few seconds later they made contact with the harsh surface of the ice-cold water. Kagome went for air like it was the first breath of air in her life. After that she started laughing so hard she barley realized that the boy was struggling to get them both on shore.
When they finally reached the shore Kagome fell face down on the ground, she was breathing very deeply.
The boy sat next to her and sighed…"Feh" Stupid girl put me trough all this and then starts laughing like it was a funny experience or something…
She watched him very carefully, analyzing every aspect of his body. He was soaking and shaking the water off just like a dog, he looked pretty strong, after all he managed to get them both safely on the shore. By the features of his face she could tell he was a kind person…but grieved.
"WHY are you staring like that wench?" the boy growled.
"I'm not staring! I'm just…thinking…why did you jump with me? Why did you save me? And how dare you judge my actions?" Kagome wanted some answers. After he growled at her like that she didn't want to look at him again. She was trying to take off her boots to dry her feet. "And why aren't you…" she finally turned to face him but he was GONE "…answering."
That's just great! He jumps off a bridge with me and then he disappears!
She finally put her boots back on and started to walk away, very confused .Her mind was now blurring up. Looking at her watch Kagome noticed she was late for the meeting with her friend.
She was confused, thinking about the guy who saved her from killing herself. He saved her! Thoughts were gathering in her head, she realized she didn't actually want to die. I wanna start making something out of my life! I'm such an idiot! Dying isn't the solution of my problems…
Kagome ran along the shore to get to the café were she was supposed to meet with Sango. She could bet Sango wasn't gonna wait for her lazy ass.
Along the river she noticed a red cap swimming towards the shore, she recognized it! It belonged to the boy who saved her, the one who disappeared a few seconds ago. She picked it up and squeezed the water out of it. It was a red baseball cap and on top of it was a small inscription. It said "chibi-Inu", she hadn't seen this inscription before because he wore the cap backwards.
Who the fuck wears a cap that says "small dog"? Maybe he's a member of a "Save the homeless dogs" foundation…or whatever that's called…
Oh shit I have to hurry up! Kagome ran into the café seeking for a tall brown-haired girl.
Sango sat somewhere in a corner sipping the last drop of her tea.
"Hi Sango…I'm so so sorry…" Kagome opened her mouth to say more but was cut off by Sango who simply said " Shut up. Sit down." She was pretty calm for some one who waited one hour and a half for her friend.
"I know you expect me to be waiting for you when you obviously have better things to do than to come somewhere on time…"
"Sango…"
"But that's gonna end right now. From now on your life is gonna change completely! "
"Sango!"
You can't go on like this! IT HAS TO STOP!"
"SANGO!!" Kagome yelled trying to shut up Sango. "It already has."
"What?!" The brown-eyed girl looked at her all confused " What has what?"
"Sango my life changed a few minutes ago, it happened so fast … it was like a dream, no a revelation!"
"What was?" She now thought her friend was on drugs or something because Kagome's face was all lightened up and her eyes where shining.
"Listen Sango I'll talk to you later I-I have to run…I'm in a hurry, I'll talk to ya tomorrow at school ok? Bye!"
" But Kag-chan I wanna know what happened to you! I'm worried…" She didn't even finish her sentence when Kagome walked out of the café. Before she closed the door she turned to her friend and smiled. " Sango I was an idiot for not living my life to the fullest!"
She left a wide-eyed Sango behind and headed for the river. What happened to me? I-I'm seeing things more clearly now. I've been hiding away all this time because I was scared of all the experiences I might have…good or bad.
Kagome realized that her family always expected her to be some one else… better…
But I'm just myself, Kagome… Now I remember who I am! I'm a happy and funny person, sometimes clumsy but brave. I'm definitely not Kikyou! She is beautiful, talented and smart…but I'm not going to be afraid anymore!
Kagome was now running like hell to no destination at all after a few minutes she somehow got to her shrine. She felt strange about this place.
Home... is this even my home? It doesn't feel like home anymore…the only thing I love about this place is the old well house and the sacred Goshinboku tree.
She walked to her favorite tree sitting on it's huge roots and just listened to the sound of the leafs falling on the ground. It was autumn and she loved this time of year, it wasn't to cold nor to hot. It was perfect.
She was suddenly thinking at the boy who jumped off the bridge with her. He was…strange. He seemed pretty young for that white hair. At first she was scared as he reached his hand out because of his huge fingernails...come to think of it they rather looked like claws, but then he gave her a toothy grin and she knew he was ok. But why would he disappear like that? He didn't even introduce himself.
"And all I wanted was to thank him for what he did…"
"Thank who?" In front of her stood a young woman black-haired, brown-eyed … she resembled Kagome very much.
"None of your business baka!" came the answer of a pissed-off Kagome.
"Well Kag-chan I'd say you're the baka for talking to yourself…" said a very cooled Kikyou.
"Don't call me Kag-chan! That's how my friends call me!"
"Whatever…" came the answer. Kikyou went into the house with a sneer.
Man! She couldn't stand that wise-ass stepsister of hers…She was so fake. She treated everybody in the house sooo nice that everyone loved her. But she despised Kagome from the first day they met.
Kagome tried making friends with her, treating her like her sister but all Kikyou did was to take advantage of her and take everything she loved, away from her.
But people have to learn to let go…
