She stood alone, on the cliff. Silent tears ran down her cheeks. The wind danced, and played with her black hair. She was thinking about her life and how it had once been happy. She stared at the view around her. How, below her, people ran their busy lives and just tried to get by with a bit of cheer. What was the point? Better yet, why was she even sad? Well, she wasn't really sad, just depressed. This feeling had been coming to her ever since her family shattered, like glass. With her friends, she would laugh and joke, but as soon as she was alone the tears came. She watched the grass gently sway in waves. It was a cold day but warmer than before. The cold, she used to hate it, now it was almost comforting. The cold tears. Ya, that's it, the cold. It was starting to get dark so, with a deep breath, her feet carried her home.
She arrived at her house and found out that they would be having no presents for Christmas because they were in so much dept. Kagome slumped onto her bed and stared at objects of her past. Her predicament wasn't as bad as other people's lives...but it didn't mean that she felt perky as she used to be. Her whole room reflected herself, it was as if it had "Kagome" written all over it in black letters. She rolled over and picked up one of the many books at the bottom of her bed. It what just another way of escaping the world that she was in. Kagome opened the book and began reading the familiar story. After hours she drifted off into a dreamless sleep.
She awoke to her parents yelling muffled words at each other. Making absurd claims and threats. Kagome sat up and crunched into a ball, putting her fists onto her eyes trying to scream it all away. Her parents ran to their rooms, slamming their doors and then there was silence. She sighed deeply and sat until morning. It was 9:20 when she started getting ready for school at 9:30. She walked out and trudged through the day. After the last bell rang she gathered her homework and left. Kagome was average in her studies, but nonetheless clever. Her friends playfully called her a nerd though. When she opened the door she found it unlocked. Which was peculiar since her parents worked till the evening. It wasn't that confusing though since her brother, Souta was not at school today. She walked into the house quietly, but stopped at the sight she saw before her. There her family lay, on the floor. All massacred, with blood flooded everywhere. She took in a few deep breaths in remorse and let out a blood curdling scream.
There she sat at the bus station, with her ratted clothes. She was waiting to go to her apartment where her auntie had let her live in. It had been two years since Kagome had found her parents and brother. She hadn't changed a lot since, except that she didn't talk to anyone. She was mute. The police had found her after her next-door neighbors heard her scream. They walked in and found her under the table staring at her family's bodies, rocking back and forth. Her aunt Kaede had come to identify her when she was at the police station. " Yep, that's Kagome." and she was with her ever since.
Now, Kagome had decided to walk home since the bus was taking to long. She took a short cut through the park. Silently she cut into the trees and walked through the field. Suddenly a guy came in front of her from nowhere with a knife. From what she could see of him he had brown eyes and a leather jacket on, he had a hoodie under his jacket covering his hair color. "Give me your money bitch or I'll gut you." He sneered.
Kagome reached into her pockets fearfully and found no money except for a bus ticket. She handed then man that and tried to show him she had no money. Then guy looked at the ticket and moved towards her saying, "No money huh? I'll just have to kill you!"
She widened her eyes and backed away. Her legs seemed not to move. 'Oh well, at least she could be with the rest of her family' She thought.
Then in the blink of an eye the man had blood across his face. He looked around in horror and ran away clumsily. Kagome, bewildered by this, looked around and saw a figure jump in front of her. She jumped and looked at him. He had a red jacket and baggy jeans, his silver hair hung to his waist. He had silver dog ears on top of his head to match his hair. Most of all Kagome noticed his eyes; they were bright amber orbs staring directly at her.
"Hey wench, you okay?" He asked.
Huh ha! Bet ya can't guess who he is! LOL Please review! it makes me happy...
