The Hardest Thing

Chapter Two

Sitting in the plane, Kagome was holding the arms of her chair as tightly as she could. Her beautiful gray eyes were shut tightly as she felt the airplane come to life and start down the run way. Sango was sitting next to her, her hand on top of Kagome's, offering silent support. Miroku was off in some chair in the back, sulking because he had lost the fight.

"Oh, my god, Sango I can't do this! I want off, I want off!" Kagome cried, squeezing her eyes tighter when they started gathering speed.

"Come one, Kagome. The worst part is almost over. You can do this!" Sango told her, just as they started lifting off the ground. Kagome began whimpering and all the blood left her face. A few seconds later they were in the air and on their way.

"Is it over?" Kagome asked hesitantly opening her eyes a little. Sango laughed.

"Yeah. The worst part is over." She replied and Kagome visibly relaxed. "Do you want to play some cards? I'll go easy on you, I promise."

"No, thank you. I think I'm just going to write in my journal." Kagome said, pulling out a black bag from under her seat.

"Okay. Miroku and I will be in the back if you want to join us." Sango smiled and left.

Pulling out a black, blue, and silver book Kagome took the key from around her neck and unlocked it before pulling out a pen and starting to write.

Dear Journal,

It is getting harder and harder to hide my secret from my friends. They have been acting weird around me, I don't know if it's just because they feel sorry for me…or if they suspect something. I kind of wish they would find out so I wouldn't have to carry this heavy burden alone. It is a huge burden, and it kills me little by little every second of every day. I deserve it. I deserve to carry this pain and guilt with me for the rest of my life. It was, after all, all my fault.

Smiling is the hardest chore, now. I know Sango can see through my fake smiles, but she says nothing and I'm thankful for that.

God, how I miss them. It's funny how, after someone dies, it's the little things you miss the most. I miss my mom, waking me up every morning, full of smiles that made it impossible not to be a morning person. How she would sing, every time I was depressed. She had a beautiful voice. How her eyes had a certain twinkle in them whenever she was planning something.

I miss Souta, and his obsession with video games. How he would always argue over the last piece of cake, but he would always let me win. I miss the pranks we used to play on each other, and how whenever we got in trouble for the pranks we always defended one another.

This is so unfair! Why did they have to be the ones to die! It should have been me instead! They lived life to the fullest, day after day, never taking anything for granted. And I, took for granted the most important thing. Them.

Funny how life throws these curve balls at you. A month ago, if anyone had asked me how I would feel if my family had died the next day I would have told them that I didn't have to worry about that. That my family would live until they were old and gray. How wrong I was.

It's all my fault.

I miss them so much.

Yours truly,

Princess Kagome Higurashi

"Hey Kagome! We're going to be landing in a few minutes!" Miroku called out from behind her. She quickly shut her journal, putting the key around her neck and stuffing the book back into her bag. Glancing at the time she saw started to see that almost two hours had gone by. She felt the plane lurch and she groaned, once again grabbing the arm of the chair, Sango sat beside her once again and took her hand, squeezing it a little.

Feeling the plane begin to drop Kagome turned white as a ghost and began whimpering like crazy. Just as she was about to hyperventilate the plane touched ground and she was able to relax. The plane came to a stop and Kagome grabbed her bags, breathing deeply for a few seconds to regain her composure.

Stepping out of the plane and walking down the stairs Kagome saw a limo waiting for them about twenty feet from the plane. Walking towards it she heard Sango and Miroku following her. A man opened the door for her and she climbed in, after giving another man her bags to put in the trunk. After Sango and Miroku climbed in they pulled out of the airport and started down a road.

"Hey, Kagome, look outside! It's beautiful!" Sango cried from her seat at the window. Kagome sighed and rolled down her window, glancing out. Sango had been right, it was beautiful. There were plains with the greenest grass Kagome had ever seen, along with several kinds of beautiful flowers. Kagome could see butterflies flying all around and she gasped in wonder.

"Your highness, we should be able to see Their Majesties' castle in a few minutes. If you would just look out the window then." The driver said through an intercom. Kagome nodded, and continued looking out the window. A few minutes later a huge castle came into view from behind a hill and it took Kagome's breath away. She didn't feel so bad about living there, any more.

Pressing the intercom button, Kagome spoke, "When will we be arriving?"

"In about 20 minutes, your Highness." The driver spoke back. Kagome gulped and thanked him, before continuing to look at the scenery.

Okay, I know this one is short too, it's more of a filler chapter so you have something to read while I get my inspiration back. I want lots more reviews, so the more reviews I get the sooner I'll update!

Next capter: Kagome meets InuTaisho, Sesshoumaru, and InuYasha. She also finds out which one she will be marrying!
