AN:Chapter two!
Disclaimer:I own nothing
It was cold in the rest of the house,but the kitchen was by far the worst.No light made it seem even more haunted and chilled.Kagome stared out the window at the wind blowing leaves all over the place.Autumn was nearly over and the wind had become stronger everyday,making howling noises and causing the roof to shake.Sometimes,Kagome wondered if that was the wind at all.Or something much more foul,trying to scratch it's way in.
She blinked,and cast a glance at the shadows.Who knows?It could be.That howling sounded alot like a human screaming...a very familiar woman's screaming.Kagome shook her head and looked out at the night.Daylight wouldn't be for several more hours,thankfully.She had started staying awake at night and sleeping during the day with the curtains drawn.It was going to be hard to switch back once she went to the Fuduel Era again,but frankly she didn't care.She liked the night.It hid things,kept them out of sight until you actually looked for them and even then,they were hard to find.
Daylight made everything come to life,brought everything out in the open.In the daylight,she could she how empty the house really was.In the daylight,she saw everything that was missing.In the daylight,she could clearly see all the gashes and bruises that now adorned her body.In the daylight,all the memories were brought to the surface.A stupid arguement...a tearful face...the hopeless look...the screeching tires...the smell of burning flesh.Everything that the darkness hid came back to smack her in the face with the sun.
Kagome sighed and rubbed a calloused hand over her cut temple.A month ago,she wasn't like this.She remembers what had been that stupid,lovey-dovey girl who wanted to save the world and get the guy.Kagome smirked as she remembered how she cried everytime Inuyasha went to see Kikyo or didn't pay her enough attention.The pain she felt now made that idiotic shit pale in comparrison.All she wanted was his oh so special love,and in the meantime,someone who had really loved her was forgotton.
Was she really so fucking horny and lovesick that she spent every minute on him?And now look where it got her.Sitting in the kitchen staring out the damned window.Kagome snarled to herself and looked down at the spotless kitchen table.He would never love her and the only one who did was gone.But,suprisingly,the former didn't hurt at all.The latter was the one that ripped her heart open.
Inuyasha didn't seem important anymore.Boys in general didn't seem important anymore.Nothing did.
The only one who ever loved her was gone.Lying at the bottom of a river with metal sheets impaling her.Kagome shuddered,but didn't cry.She couldn't cry.It was about Inuyasha that had killed the one who loved her.And it was all HER fault.'I killed her.',Kagome thought,dry sobbing.The voices in her head blamed and taunted her,making her guilt and longing grow.
Guilt for being such a bitch and destroying the only one whoever gave a damn.
Longing for it all not to be true.
They had once been the perfect family.Grandpa would tell insane stories and get upset when a "valuable" item was even so much as touched.But the stories he told always had a happy ending,and he was always there,smiling,encouraging us to do our best.Now,he locks himself in his room and stares at the wall,waiting for his own end to come.
Souta used to be a silly little eight-year-old.always going on about vidoegames,robots,and his first crush.Now,love from another dosen't seem so important either.He drinks whatever he can get his hands on and,when that dosen't work,sobs himself to sleep,each,and every,single,long night.
She used to be sweet,stupid,school-girl who didn't know to quit while she was ahead.Now,she was a battered woman with nothing better to do than contemplate how do die.
Oh yeah,they were the perfect family.
But..then Mom died...and everything went straight to hell.
The horror part of all this will come in soon.
