OMG I'm so sorry for not updating sooner! I have had lots of rehearsals
for Fiddler on the Roof and they don't let out until 9:00 PM, so when I get
home I have to finish my homework and watch the Adult Swim tape from the
night before. And softball season is ending, so we've had a lot of games.
So, I'm sorry for making you wait and here's the next chapter!
Who Will Give Me Wings?
Chapter 5
I told him everything. I told him about my parents, about me being a half-breed. Everything. Even about the massacre and the little girl I had frightened. When I was finished with my story, I looked up, afraid of what I might see. But instead of seeing the fear and revulsion I had come to expect, I saw only understanding. And...something else. In his eyes I saw what I had not seen since the day my parents died. I saw compassion and empathy. That was when I finally got a good look at him. His hair was reddish-pink and his eyes were a vivid green. We sat in silence for a few minutes. Finally, he broke the silence. "It seems like you've been through a lot. Add that up with a suicide attempt and almost freezing to death in the ocean and I'd say you've had a pretty rough time of it. Anyways, it's getting dark, so you should probably get some rest. We can talk more in the morning."
We curled up with our backs pressed together for warmth. "You never told me your name." He didn't answer at first.
"It's Kurama."
You'd probably already guessed that, but what does it matter? Please, please, please review!
