Little star, how I wonder where you are...
Kagome likes playing hide and seek. She believes the best way to have fun is making her grandfather search for her in between all of his antiques. All the while muffling her giggles behind her little hand while her grandfather grumbles like the old man he is.
This time it isn't much different, but as a chill creeps up her back, she knows he's joining the game.
He tends to do that with her friends, which incites them to hit and mock her because they are scared of the girl with a ghost(demon) follower.
She never knows what he wants, only that he is always there. There are whispers, and breezes that seem too eerie to be normal.
Her house is against them, her grandfather and her. And she thinks he haunts them because they are intruding and this is his property. The first warning caused her mother's death.
Kagome has just turned eight when her grandfather receives a heart attack.
The reason: A pair of yellow amber eyes reflected on an old mirror and a well placed hit to his back.
Kagome wishes she could just get rid of him so he stops hurting the people that she loves. But even at this young age Kagome knows that wishing upon stars is impossible.
