Sorry Guys! I Know I promised! It's been a few weeks now and I'm sorry! My computer broke down and I couldn't post it until it was fixed. I know you that you would expect a monster of a chapter but this one is actually one of the shorter one's. I'm gonna make the next chapter a whopper! Especially because this is where the plot starts and it gets more interesting! Please stay tuned! This chap is called:

Chapter 04 - The Past Days

The morning soon came, the night seemed of endless time, over my excitement for the upcoming day. I now made my travel line to the village. The May morning scenery seemed to dazzle in the fine morn's delight, as if to say that was to be a fashionable day, perhaps not for all but most likely for many. The continuing loneliness has seemed to disappear and cower before my gladness. It was as if the light of my world has once again shone bright and will continue to shine even if it will try to be put out. The narrowed light of early rising widened as I enclosed the way to my point.

Now Moving On Down My Street

Even at this point of day people are risen and started their day as I have. As I look to their faces I could read their happiness and their enjoyment of family life everyone in their family circle seemed so caring, so giving, so committed that I feel as I'm outside that circle and I can only hope that someday I'd be among them.

I See The People I Won't Ever Meet

There are lives like theirs, but there are also those that are like my state and too struggle to have those caring of them and them caring to those others. There are those that are longing and those that take pride in their solitude, but I am not as they are though I do want a family life but I don't feel that I can ever be excepted in the mortal run world. I do know that there are those that do accept me for what I am but the one who seems to shine the brightest is her. The one of which I speak is the human girl Satsuki. I do remember the past days and how I had rescued her and how determined I was to help her in the desperate situation and have her wish come true. Though it never prevailed we both had tried our hardest and in the end she learned the truth. If only I would have been able to make her wish be true.

I Think Of Her, Take A Breath

I kept walking on, many stopped to stare but I am used to it now, it doesn't bother me in the least, though I'd rather have it they didn't look at me as a demon but as one of them. I stepped in an order, not wanting to look at them as I passed so I paid my attention to my feet as I carried on, almost as if I were to be stepping to a song's beat and rhythm.

I Feel The Beat And The Rhythm Of My Steps

I brought myself deeper into the small village. I wasn't really paying much attention to where I was supposed to be going, my mind basically fused out. I tried to recall last day and then I had noticed. "She never told me where to meet her! Ugh... I wonder if she was even serious about meeting, maybe she...Oh! Shippou you horses ass how could you have been so stupid!"

I had now come to a bridge one that I know too well, and under it still lies the remains of Satsuki's and her Brother's old hut. I looked down the river that streamed through the village to see a figure sitting by it's edge. I then realized who it was "Hey, thats Satsuki!" I said to myself. I then called out for her to notice my presence. "Hey! Over here!" Satsuki looked to my voice's direction and saw that it was me. I jumped from the bridge and once I had landed I walked towards her.

"Shippou! I knew you'd find me!" I was now near enough to sit beside her, I kneeled down and plotted myself cross-legged next to her.

"Well, you did pick an obvious spot." I knew where we were this was the exact same spot where we first met. After saving Satsuki from those boys who where chasing her. "I just realized two seconds ago we never decided on a place and so it's like, oh crap, What do I do now? You know?" We both gave a light hearted chuckle at the situation. "It's so good to finally have someone to talk to, so that I'm not talking to the wall all day." I said not expecting much of a reply.

"So you're alone too huh?"

"Hmm? What do you mean Satsuki? What about the people that live at the headman's house?"

"They're nice and all but there's not much to talk about to someone three time's your age"

"Same here, Inu Yasha and Kagome, Sango, Miroku and their kids are all very kind but I'm stuck in the middle, either too old or too young. When we were traveling. It was a whole different story, I don't know what happened"

"If my brother were here I'd have someone to talk to, but... he died in the civil war so..."

"You were very fond of your brother weren't you?" She nodded.

"I was the same way with my father before he was killed but I try not to let things of the past bug me in the present."

"I wish I was as un regretful as you."

Hearing her say this I found now she is just as I am mourning over small things of the past, though they aren't the same they share the same sadness that burdens in our hearts and eats away at the happy things so that we may become heavy-hearted once again. From now and probably the rest our lives we will be haunted by these facts in our thoughts, dreams, nightmares and even by other people and only those that are strong and will fight these matters shall be able to live through it, while those that are weak won't and will end their lives sooner then what expected.

We talked through the day until it was well nigh to the sun's setting. Since it was getting to be late I walked her back to the village chief's house. We said goodnight to one another and then I made off back to my own place once again.

It's sad to say of this girls life, with her orphaned at a young age, her brother dying not long afterward and now she's alone as ever.

Sometimes It's A Sad Song Ohhh...

I think of her now and wonder if this will keep going on, our loneliness, but it's my doubt that it will continue now that we have found each other, perhaps we'll learn not to any longer hold the burdens on our backs. Furthermore we've found someone to talk to, If we're in trouble or for whatever reason. I know now that things are starting to change, the negative things start to escape and now I'll be able to focus on my life now and forget the things of the past that have troubled me for so long.
