Alright...I know you people are just like 'Damn you, starting a new story when you haven't finished any of the others!!' Yeah. Well, I really like this idea...so...-.-;;
Well...please R&R...if no one likes it...I guess I won't bother...
I think it's a pretty cool prologue...but that's just me...and I suppose it's a biased opinion. Well, if you like it, be sure to review. If you don't, review anyway. =) Just...don't flame. Flames are really a bore...and totally annoying. I appreciate constructive critism, where you can put things politely, but I mean...biting people's heads off because you think it's right...that's just...so, so, not cool.
I can't believe I've got 3 new ideas...and I really wanna start this other one.... Jeez...I really gotta finish Caught in the Rain and Trust and Betrayal though...::heaves a dramatic sigh::
Well, hope you like it. XD

Disclaimer: I don't own Inu-Yasha...I do own 4 posters and 4 manga volumes though! =D Hey, people gotta be optimistic once in a while right? That's the point of the story. ;)

((Souta's POV))

Odd how simple things can end in tragedy, huh?
It was afternoon when mom and grandpa left to go to the supermarket. My older sister Kagome and I were at home. We live in a shrine house. The shrine is property of the Higurashis.
Kagome was making chocolate chip cookies. I was watching TV with Buyo, our family cat, curled up beside me.
Hours passed, but mom and grandpa weren't home yet. I figured that they went to visit a friend. Kagome probably assumed the same.
Then, someone knocked at our door. Kagome, thinking mom and gramps were home, hurried and opened with a big smile that clearly said 'welcome home'. However, standing outside the door was a policeman.
Kagome's expression immediately turned into one of confusion. I felt a sense of foreboding...
I walked over to the door. Kagome spoke up. "Souta, go up to your room. I'll be up in a bit."
I did as I was told. Right now didn't seem like a time to argue. Closing the door, I occupied myself with petting Buyo, who had followed me into my room.
Suddenly, I heard angry shouts coming from downstairs. It sounded like my sister.
"No! You're lying!!"
"Miss, please, calm down."
"Don't tell me what to do!! You're lying! That's not true!"
After a while, it became silent. I was waiting apprehensively for my sister to tell me what was going on. Soon I heard footsteps coming up the stairs. My sister opened the door to my room. Her face was tearstained and she was fiddling with the hem of light pink apron she wore.
"What's going on?" I asked. "What happened?"
I was alarmed. I had never, ever seen my older sister cry.
She walked over to where I was seated on my bed, and hugged me tightly.
"Souta...on their way home..." I heard her whisper, while sniffling. "A...a truck hit the car...mom and grandpa...died."
I was numb. I didn't notice my sister sobbing into her my shoulder. It was only five minutes that I realized that I too, was crying.
It was a while before I realized Kagome and I were crying for different reasons.
===============
=) So how was it? Oh right...uuhhh...just to make sure you guys know before hand, Kagome is 18 in this fic...Souta is 10, okies? Alright, just wanted to...make sure. -.-;;; Right. Now...don't forget to review, people!
Ja, Saki ;)
