Reality hits my face…and laughs
I watch the setting sun as I stand on the cliff. I look down and see the ocean thrashing against it. I feel the wind push me harshly away and I close my eyes, welcoming it. I lift my arms up and for a brief second, it feels as if I'm flying.
"Kagome.."
Who's calling me? Could it be the one person I've been waiting for? The one person who can rescue me from reality? My true love?
"KAGOME HIGURASHI."
Eep, no of course not. It's my freakin' teacher hovering me like I'm some kind of …
"Yes professor Kaede?"
I answer timidly.
"Thank you for responding after your name was called more than thrice times."
She glared daggers at me which meant she really wasn't thankful.
"Sorry professor."
"I need a word with you after class Kagome."
I slouched in my chair as the class ooohed me. 'Great. Just great. Go ahead and make my life exciting.' I look up as the bell rings. 'Finally. All I have to do is get away from Kaede.'
"Kagome, come to my desk."
I laugh at this, at myself. I'm so pathetic.
"Kagome, I feel that you are not focused in my class and you need to get serious. College is not like high school and you should take me seriously because I never tell a student to get focused. I know that you can ace my class but something is holding you from achieving that. Whatever it is, you can come and tell me and we'll arrange something."
Is she serious? Wow, I'm lucky after all.
"Yes, professor, thank you. I will get back on task."
Yeah right. Forget this. I excuse myself with a bow and leave in total turmoil.
"Kagome, what is wrong with you? You've been moping around all day. You were never like this."
Sango looked at me with concern in her eyes. How can you possibly understand? If I tell you, you'll think I'm just a whiny little kid. You'll think I'm crazy. How can I tell you? "It's nothing. I have a lot of work so I'm going to the creek."
She tried to protest but I smiled my best smile.
"It's okay Sango. I just miss my family. Don't worry, I'll get over it."
I waved and left her believing me.
The eyes that locked with mine
I take a deep breath as I stand on the ramp.
"It's wonderful and so peaceful. Someone can actually breathe out here." The next thing that happened changed my life.
"WATCH OUT!!" I turned to look to see who screamed and as I turned, I felt something pass my face so fast that I lost my balance and fell into the lake. I'll tell you now, the lake was 5 feet beneath where I was standing. Yeah, it caused a splash. I descended into the bottom and it actually felt good being in the bottom, holding my breath. The water was so clear and so beautiful. It made me more depressed. Everything had a meaning. What did I have? My thoughts were suddenly interrupted as someone grabbed me from the waist and pulled me to the surface. I gasped for unwanted air and couldn't very well see my rescuer (if you can call him that) for my hair was covering my eyes.
"Are you alright? Did you hurt yourself? I'm very sorry." Even then, I wasn't paying attention. I walked back to shore in great difficulty.
"Miss, I said I was sorry." I felt him follow close by me and heard a different voice enter. "I think she's in shock. She's pretty, though." I ignored that comment as I looked at my clothes. Great. My black Capri's were soaked and my dark red silk shirt was ruined. "Shut up Miroku. This is all your fault. I told you not to throw that golf ball." I laughed as I heard them argue. "You're kidding, right? A golf ball? You threw a golf ball? Who in their right mind throws a golf ball? I would at least understand if this was a park but it isn't."
"So she can talk? Pretty feisty. All the pretty ones are. Hi, my name is Miroku and this is my friend Inuyasha." He held out his hand to me. I could still see him but not clearly since my hair was still in my face. Inuyasha smacked his hand out of the way.
"So what? We threw a golf ball."
"Actually, I threw the golf ball while you called me stupid."
"Shut up Miroku. The last time I checked, you couldn't get arrested for throwing a golf ball."
I laughed some more as I started to fix my hair. He has a temper.
"You don't get arrested if you didn't kill anyone in the process."
I flipped my hair back and looked at the one claimed Miroku who gasped. "Can…can you do that again? And this time slower and keep the angry face. It looked great."
Inuyasha hit him and I looked at my 'rescuer'. I stared into his amber eyes as he stared into mine. His eyes melting away the anger that was boiling inside of me. We stayed like that for what seemed like an eternity. I lost myself in his eyes. I felt electricity run through my spine down to the very last nerve. "I…I…" He hesitated.
"Now that that's over, I don't believe I learned your name." Miroku grabbed my hand and kissed it. I was beyond shock. "It's…It's…" I finally took my eyes away from his for I feared if I didn't, I would lose control. I looked at Miroku and didn't feel the same thing. I lost my nerve yet again as I felt Inuyasha's eyes still on me. "It's?" Miroku tugged my hand gently as if bringing me back to reality. I was about to speak until I was interrupted by a cell. My hand was released as Miroku answered it and I was free… but my feet were glued to the ground.
"It's your beautiful fiancée." Great!! Just my luck. He's getting married. Better leave before I make a fool out of myself. I turned back to where my jeep was parked. "Hey! Wait." It was Inuyasha. He's calling after me. No, no, I can't. He's practically married for god sake's. His wife must be beautiful. He's gorgeous. How can I possibly land a guy like that? I have to keep walking. Don't look back, Kagome. Don't look…he grabbed my arm. I was forced to look at his beautiful eyes again.
"Listen, if there's anything I can do…"
I pulled my arm free. "I'm sorry but there isn't. I have to go." I turned back around and went to my jeep, with what strength I don't know. I was surprised I didn't run back to him. I knew I couldn't, he's not mine to run to.
Those are my shortest and bad chapters. I will tell you now the next chapter is long. Thank you for reading. Hopefully you enjoyed. Don't forget to review. I must know your reactions.
