Chapter 45:
Wish...
＊ ＊ ＊
Hm?
Kagome opened her navy blue eyes and finds herself floating in the darkness. She slowly sat herself up and looked around.
Where am I?
Suddenly a flash of blue light blinded her and she winced her eyes from the slight pain. She took a few moments to open it. But when she opened her eyes, she soon widens them at the sight in front of her. It was snow. She was standing on a field of white snow. She could feel her bare feet stinging from its icy, coldness so it can't be a dream. Or is it? Why is she even here in the first place?
Kagome shivered as she wrapped her arms around herself to warm up. She looked around again but all she sees is just the white snow. Nothing else. She looks up the grey sky where the snow was falling from and sighed.
What am I supposed to do here?
'Kagome...'
She quickly turned around by the sudden voice calling to her. A woman, who surprisingly resembles her mother, was standing with a faint smile on her face. Kagome looked in awe as the woman continued to hold her smile. The snow was still falling, but it still held that creepy silentness.
Who are...you?
Kagome managed to ask from her surprised state.
No...wait. She stared at the woman's eyes for a moment. I know who you are.
The woman smiled at Kagome's voice and closed her eyes.
' Kagome...' She spoke very softly, Kagome could barely hear her voice. The snow was, again, still falling silently.
Suddenly, Kagome fell backwards as though someone pulled her from behind and she felt herself falling into the darkness. She saw the woman standing, looking down at the falling Kagome, her smile still placed on that rosy cheeks of her's.
No!
Kagome yelled in her mind. She could feel the darkness consuming her. The woman was still standing. She was falling. Into an endless pit.
No...!
Kagome reached out her hand in desperate. Towards the woman who was still standing. Not even making a slight move to help the falling girl.
Chie-san...
Kagome called out the woman's name. Higurashi Chie...her mother's sister.
Chie-san...I can't die! I don't want to die! Help me!
Help me!
'Then...'
She heard Higurashi Chie's voice. But she was gone. Kagome could only see darkness surrounding her.
Then what?
' You must give up something important' －－－－－－
＊ ＊ ＊
" Chie-san!"
" Kagome!"
Kagome widens her eyes, as she breathe heavily, her face on Inuyasha's chest. Inuyasha was
grasping her shoulders, shaking her awake. For a moment, Kagome didn't know what was going on.
She then remembered that she had fallen asleep as soon as her mother left the house.
"Kagome...are you all right?" She heard Inuyasha's voice above her and looked up.
He had a look of pure worry on his face. Kagome sighed in relief and smiled.
"Yeah...I'm okay. I think...I just had a nightmare..." She replied.
But Inuyasha didn't seem to be satisfied with her answer. He placed a hand on her forehead
to see if she was sick or not. Kagome blushed at the warmth of his hand, and she quickly put
his hand away.
" Inuyasha, I said I'm fine."
" You sure?"
" Yes..." She sighed. " Just a bad dream..."
" You were yelling out Higurashi Chie's name..." Inuyasha said and Kagome widen her eyes at
his words.
" I...did...?"
He grabbed her shoulder, " Tell me about the nightmare you were having!"
"I...I don't know..." Kagome said hesitantly, "I really don't know...I was just standing in the snow...
and then...Higurashi Chie appeared...we were talking...but I can't remember what we were talking about..."
She held her head, trying to remember. " I remember her smiling..."
...t...ve..p...ing...i...a...t
Kagome closed her eyes and shook her head. " That's all I remember."
Inuyasha, who seem to be more a bit calm, sighed and said, " Well, if you start to remember
somthing, tell me, all right? Remember, we're in this together."
Kagome smiled. " Yeah, I will. Thank you, Inuyasha."
He smiled back at her, and then turned his head to the clock.. He stood up, dusting himself.
" Well, I better be going. You gonna be all right being alone?" He asked while gathering his things.
Kagome nodded, " Yeah, I think I will be. Okaa-san will be home soon anyways.
She followed him all the way to the front door. Inuyasha looked back at her one last time before
leaving the house. He was still worried about her. But figured it was no use to keep asking her
about it and force her to remember something she doesn't remember. He let out a small sigh and
took a step out of the door.
"Inuyasha..."
"Hm?"
He stopped and turned to her.
Kagome's face was lowered as though to hide her expression. But she soon lifts her face and
held a soft smile.
" See you tomorrow at school."
It took a moment for Inuyasha to understand what she just said, but he soon smiled back.
" Tomorrow..." He said and left the house.
Kagome watched as the door closed in front of her. She held a hand over her pounding heart
and sighed deeply. She looked at the calendar hanging on the wall beside her. There was a big
X mark written in red marker on the date December 10th. Her birthday.
(...Or you can say the day I was created...)
She thought to herself.
( I can't believe there will be a time where I actually wish my birthday would not come.)
When she was little, she was always excited and couldn't wait for her birthday to come.
Her mother and grandfather would give her presents, her younger brother would act as usual
but he would always seem nicer to her than the other days, and they would have a birthday
party at home by themselves. It wasn't much, and its not like those birthday parties other
kids experiences. But it was enough for Kagome.
It was enough for her to be able to have a small party with her family safely. With her mother,
Ojii-chan, and Souta...
There were times where she wished her father was here at the birthday party. Before she knew
who her father was and when she thought this whole time that her father was dead. But, with
now knowing that her father is alive, she wondered if she would be able to have a party with all
of them. Not only with her family, also with Inuyasha, Miroku, Sango...and everyone else.
Kagome slowly walked upstairs to her room. She quickly put on her pajamas and fell
straight into her fluffy bed.
( If there is such thing as a God...)
She prayed in her thoughts before losing consciousness.
(I wish...that there will be a day...when we can all go to a picnic or something...together...with...all
of us...)
But my biggest wish is...
To please don't make anyone die...
