Chapter – so ... peaceful
Ahh sorry for not updating shortly. The wouldn't let me upload for some reason. REViEW please!
Kagome drove over to her house. She walked in the front door, and found a note from her mom.
"Dear Kagome,
Hey, by the time you read this note, we'd already left. I didn't want to disturb you in school, so we just left. Sota is with me, but your grandpa is out in a vacation with his friends. We'll be back by next week. Love you, Mom"
She dropped the note back on the table. She tossed her backpack on the couch and grabbed her bow and arrows. She walked outside, and shot at the tree that was right in the middle of her backyard. Bull's eye. She aimed at her target, and shot. Another bulls eye. She dropped her arrows on the porch and placed her bow next to it. She went upstairs and took a warm, soothing bath. She needed to clear her mind.
'Why... did I do all those things?'
'Honey, it's love.'
'Yes... but love hurts.'
'It's also the way to live life to the fullest.'
'If living life to the fullest means getting hurt, maybe I don't want to live anymore.'
'But... what will happen to him?'
'Do I care?'
'Yes.'
'Why do I care? Why must I suffer?'
'You care because you love. You suffer because you care. Caring and loving is two different things, yet they are the same in many ways. Why did you hurt him?'
'He hurt me. He blinded me with love. He made me for a fool. The way that things were going, I can't bear the fact that he doesn't love me. I don't know why, but I realized he took the time to pick me up just to put me down. He's the reason for the pain.'
'Pain... love. Do you know why those words connect?'
'They don't connect.'
'Yes they do. When you feel pain that means you know what love feels. Care, like, and then love. Those all connect to pain, hatred, and hurt. That's life.'
'...'
'Maybe I don't want to live life anymore then...' Kagome stepped out of the bathroom and changed. A tear fell down from her cheek and landed on her hand. She felt something move around her feet and looked down. Her cat Buyo was happy to see her. "Hello Buyo..." She said to him, and she changed again, but this time she wore her sacred miko outfit. It was white and red, and she took her white hair band and tied her hair. She put on her sandals, and went downstairs. She walked over and picked up her bow and arrows. She stepped out of her house, and felt a gentle breeze. It was all so calm and peaceful... as if she were in a dream. She started to sing her favorite song.
'Tell me babe, how many do I shed my tears?
Every heart, every heart is not a gentle yet
Shall I do? I can never say my loneliness...
Every heart, every heart doesn't know what to say or what to do...' Another tear fell from her cheek and landed on the ground. She sang the song some more, and held the jewel around her neck tightly. It glowed with pink light. She could feel energy coming from the Shikon no Tama. She walked over to the sacred tree, which was in her shrine for more than 50 years. It was said there was once a demon that was trapped in a deep sleep by a powerful miko. She touched the tree slightly, and the power intensified.
'So the story was true...' She sat down on the bench that was build around it. It was so quiet...so peaceful. She wished it were like this everyday. A few sakura blossoms danced around the tree with the wind. She grabbed one of them, and let it go. It flew off with the others, twirling around as if dancing to the song she was singing. She stopped singing, and the sakura blossoms dropped down and landed on the ground lightly. She no longer felt a gentle breeze. She started singing again, and she felt the breeze once again.
"Round and round the planets
Revolve around the sun
And we seek after love peace forever more
Growing growing woe baby we can work it out
Look up at the sky every heart is shining all today..." She stood up and walked around the tree. She saw three more blossoms, and she followed it towards the ancient shrine. She stopped and heard footsteps behind her.
