When the World Ends

"No matter what happens, the world will not end." Those were the words that I stuck to all my life, and I really believed them. They seemed like the truth. And I was happy being like that, so full of courage and ambition, thinking that nothing could stop me from doing what I wanted—not even the end of the world.

I soon learned what little meaning those words had though. It was like as soon as life went the wrong way, so did I. What's really funny is, how fast a person can change their mind after just a simple incident. And that's how it was for me too. My whole world came crashing down upon me, as soon as I lost the person closest to me, my best friend.

Chapter One

Summer of sophomore year

Kagome was sitting under the tree in the park. It was where she came when she needed to think or get away from her life just for some time. She liked to people watch. She often drew sketches of people, people that caught her attention, which was basically everyone. Her raven hair blew in the wind and she closed her eyes, feeling the gentle touch of it. The sun was shining down on the county park, making the day even more beautiful than it already was. Kagome got a warm sensation from it, and it reminded her of how warm and great her life was.

She opened her eyes and looked across at the pond nearby. There were many ducks and geese out there sunbathing. She smiled, sometimes she wished that she could switch places with the ducks, no worries and you get to fly. Not to say that she didn't like her life, she loved it. It was just a little stressful at times. At least she had her best friend Kikyo to help her get through.

Kagome and Kikyo had been best friend since they were little. As they grew older, the noticed their resemblance of each other and people often mistook them for sisters. They were only slightly different, but you could definitely tell the difference between them. When the two of them entered high school, they made and agreement of no boys until junior year. They didn't want to fight over boys, and it was sensible to wait until they goy older, and so they did.

Kagome took out her sketchbook and drew a picture of the sunbathing flock of ducks. Before she was finished though, Kikyo made her way to Kagome and sat down unknowingly to Kagome.

"Hey, Kags," she said in a monotone voice.

Kagome looked a Kikyo with surprise but didn't say a word back to her. She was trying to ignore her. Kikyo already knew what Kagome was doing, so she ignored her back, which brought a smile to Kagome's face.

"Okay, I give. What's up?" Kagome asked a little too cheerfully. It almost made Kikyo shudder. She wasn't such a big fan of nice, Kikyo wasn't an overall nice person, she preferred to keep to herself and not to care much about others, that is, except Kagome.

"Oh nothing really, I just didn't want to do my homework on such a beautiful day, I'd rather spend it with my best friend," she said.

"That's really nice Kikyo, but you know I come to the park just to get away from everything else, and you know how rarely I come here too." she said politely hoping that Kikyo caught her drift.

"Now Kagome, I know what you're trying to get at, but I don't think that it's going to work. I came here to be with my friend and you know how stubborn I am," said Kikyo said cheerfully. Which Kagome surprised, Kikyo usually always talked in a monotone voice.

Kagome sighed, "Maybe I won't get rid of you then," she said in a disappointed kidding way. And both of the friends laughed.

"Good, I don't want to leave." She noticed the drawing in Kagome's hand. "Kagome! Your drawing again, you haven't done that in ages, not since we were in junior high."

"I know. I couldn't help it. This was one of my days off, and I was just in an artistic mood, one that I haven't felt in awhile…"

Kikyo smiled, another one of the things that she didn't do too often. I really don't understand what is with Kikyo today; she isn't acting like herself at all. I think that she might be changing, I'm glad, I like to see Kikyo happy. But still, there's something just not right…

"So, since I guess we're spending the day together, what do you want to do Kagome?"

"Hmm, I don't know. How about we go to the mall?"

"Sounds great! But first let's go to my house, I have to pick up a few things."

"Great!"

While they were at Kikyo's house, Kagome raided her fridge for something yummy to eat.

Kagome sat at her kitchen table munching on whatever she found, when Kikyo came down the stairs with something hidden behind her back. At first Kagome thought that it was a gift for some random occasion, but she as soon as she saw the look on her face, she realized that it was something much, much worse.

Kikyo's face held no emotion whatsoever, but her eyes held anger and distrust, jealousy and rage. Kagome was suddenly frightened by her best friend.

Kikyo pulled out her hand from her back to reveal a lengthy blade. Kagome panicked. Surely Kikyo wouldn't do anything to hurt me, would she? After all, we're best friends.

"Kikyo? Are you okay? Wh-wh-what are you doing with that knife?" Kagome stuttered as she questioned cautiously.

"Oh nothing really…" she said, in her usual monotone voice. Just gonna slit your throat. Kikyo thought

Kagome got up from her seat on the table and backed away from the table.

"Kikyo, could you please put down the knife, you're making me really uncomfortable," Kagome pleaded.

"Now am I? I didn't even notice," she said without putting the knife down. Kagome backed away even further until she hit the kitchen wall. Kikyo moved forward, closing in on Kagome.

"You know Kagome, I didn't think it would have to end up this way. I didn't think that I would have to kill you. I was so sure that you would realize what you were doing to me, but I guess I was wrong. You were too blinded by what was happening to you to notice what was happening to me." Kikyo paused to look and Kagome's reaction. She looked confused, worried and fearful. But most of all, guilty.

"What… did I do to you?" Kagome asked as quiet and cautious as a mouse trying to sneak past a sleeping cat.

"Ha! Like I'm going to tell you! You had your chance to realize what was going on, and it's too late, you didn't. And now it's time to pay the price. With your life," she said menacingly.

At this point, Kagome really feared for her life, whatever Kikyo was talking about, she seemed serious. And the possibility of her playing a joke on her was out of the question. She just couldn't think of a reason why her friend would want to hurt her. They had been the best of buddies in that past couple of years and they were as tight as ever. There wasn't a thing that they didn't tell each other…

Kikyo didn't want to waste anymore time, so she came at Kagome with the knife pointed at her stomach. I want to make this a painful death for the one I hate most. She thought.

Kagome had no time to move and she was unluckily struck deep in the stomach. Kagome coughed blood out of her mouth, there was no pain… until only seconds later, when it came with a blow she didn't expect and she fell to the ground. She was still alive.

Kagome closed her eyes shut as if it would take away the pain. Her arms were wrapped around her side where it had been stricken. Blood was everywhere, and the smell was so overwhelming. Kikyo said something but Kagome couldn't comprehend it much; she was dizzy from the smell and pain. She was talking about, being too weak to stand up… or something like that.

Kagome felt another strike from the knife, this time in her right calf. Kagome screamed in pain and tried to scramble away from Kikyo. But Kikyo, as the person she was stabbed Kagome in the same place and dragging the knife all the way down to her ankle. Kagome screamed louder this time. Not stopping until Kikyo hit her in the jaw with her fist; a hard blow.

Kagome was sprawled out in a fetal position on the floor, covered in her own blood. She felt another strike went into her back narrowly missing her spine. Kagome screaming again but quickly Kikyo put the knife to her throat. And harshly whispered, "If you don't shut the hell up, I really will kill you."

But Kagome didn't believe her. She knew better than that, she knew that Kikyo was planning to kill her. There was nothing more she could do accept her death and wait for it to come.

She didn't have to wait long; she blacked out from blood loss and didn't know whether or not she would live another day…

There was a nock on the door. Kikyo ignored it. Hoping that whoever it was would go away, they didn't. Actually they somehow banged the door open to find Kikyo leaning over a pile of blood. Kikyo looked over her shoulder too see a cop standing at the doorway holding a gun aimed at her.

End-

So… was it good, bad, or just okay?
