Hi Everybody I am back! I'm not going to bore you so let's get on with the story. The song in my chapter is dedicated to my friend who passed away…

I slowly turned the doorknob and opened the door and to my relief it was just a music room. 'Thank god wait is that a guitar? It is! Maybe it is okay if I play with it. Just a bit.
A Heart from Art
All Good Things Come to an End
I gently took the guitar. I studied it carefully. My mother always played music. She loved it. You could give her any instrument and she would play her own tunes and make them sound good. My so called 'father' hated it. He would punish my mom for it if he caught her playing music. I hated watching my mother get beat up. It was the worst. He would constantly beat her up with bats and metal poles. Sometimes he would take a knife and slice it down her arm. Then he would rape her.
(Flashback)
"Momma can you play your guitar for me?" a little Kagome said in her childish voice. They were in her room playing with each other.
"Umm..." She looked around to make sure her husband was not there. Luckily, she remembered he was out doing drugs…again. "Sure sweetie what song do you want me to play?"
"oh that song from my favorite story Sleep with Peace."
"ok sweetie"
She went into the attic and came back with an old guitar. She slowly played the song while she sang the lyrics.
"I got a Dream
That One Day, We
gonna work it out out
That One Day We gonna work it out
out out
That One Day We gonna work it out
I Have a Dream I got
a Dream
That One Day We gonna work it out out out
That One Day We gonna work it out out out
That One Day We gonna work it out
I
Have a Dream I got a Dream
That One Day… That one day
(That
One Day) I'ma look deep within myself
I Have a Dream I gotta find
a way...
My Dream Is To Be
My Dream Is To Be
My Dream Is To
Be Fre-"
Then the door swung open to reveal a man with his face covered by the shadows.
"Hello darling I thought I told you not to play with that damn little music of yours," he said in a sickening voice."Tsk tsk now I have to punish you." My mother was trembling with fear which made my father laugh. He took the guitar from her hand and whacked her with it.
"MOMMA! NO! STOP IT DADDY! STOP IT!" I shouted while trying to pound his back. HE turned to me and said, "Why sweetie haven't you learned not to hit your parents," He took the guitar up high in a position as if you were playing golf and he whacked me. I went flying across the room and my fraile (sp?) hit the wall. I was knocked unconscious. "NO KAGOME" my mother screamed. "Now Sora why don't we have some fun?" Said as he kicked her and she let out a blood-curling scream. He probably broke a rib or two. He quickly pinned her down and started to unbutton her shirt.
"No don't do it! Please!" Sora begged.
"Shh If you quite down I won't do it so bad."
"Sick asshole!" She spat in his face. He got angry and slapped her.
I woke up and my head was killing me. I couldn't move my body. I opened my eyes to see the horrifying sight. My father raping my mom.
(End of Flashback)
The thought of that made my blood boil. Tears were making their way down my face. I thought of another thing which just lead to more tears. Bankotsou. (If that is how you spell it, I dunno)
Well let me tell you about Bankotsou. He was sweet, charming, smart, good-looking, protective but not over protective, caring and anything you could want in a guy…almost. I loved him but he…he just did it to get revenge. I cried so hard the day he told me…
(Flashback)
"Bankotsou! Bankotsou! Wait up!" A seventeen-year-old girl was running to catch up to her boyfriend.
"Hey baby" He kissed her and she happily returned it.
"So where did you want to take me?" He took a blindfold and covered her eyes. She started to giggle.
"Bankotsou when are you going to stop with surprises?" I giggled again and he chuckled.
"Oh trust me baby today is a big surprise," she just giggled again. They got into Bankotsou's car and drove for half an hour and when they reached there, Bankotsou got out of the car, untied the blind fold and the sight made her gasp. It was no 'oh my god it's beautiful' it was a shocked terrified gasp. The sight in front of her was horrible. It was a rundown city with drugs everywhere. There were people beating each other up, some were stabbing others were shooting. There were many men on the floor selling guns and knives. Then there were groubs of gangs paroling the streets.
"Bankotsou wha-"but he covered my mouth and tied my hands.
"Shh baby were just going to have some fun."He started laughing evilly. I was terrified. Was this my Bankotsou? He led me to a dirty alley where I saw a group there. Bankotsou threw me on the ground and said, "Go ahead have fun with her"
I was surprised, shocked. I could not believe it. What happened to my Bankotsou? My shocked face was turned into fear.
"Okay boys pay up and you can have fun with her" Bankotsou said grinning evilly. HE saw my shocked face and said, "Oh baby don't worry I just want a little revenge." He removed the tape from my mouth.
"What happened to you Bankotsou?" I said terrified. He just laughed.
"My dear Kagome nothing happened to me I just want my revenge."
"Revenge? What did I ever do to you?" I was confused.
"Why my sweet Kagome you have taken away the only thing I loved"
"What do you mean?"
"Kagome it means I succeded in my mission. I got to your heart didn't I?" tears were running down my cheeks.
" I thought you loved me Bankotsou. Do you love me?"
"Love you?" HE started to laugh like crazy. "Love no. More like hate. I hate you Kagome not love you. I hate you for taking my only love. You will pay dearly." It hurt like hell. It hurt to know the one love hates you. Those words were filled with hatred. At that moment she felt like she was dead.
" I-I don't understand. W-what revenge could you p-possibly want from me?" I stuttered.
"Kagome are you familiar with someone named Yumi?"
"Yumi? I don't understand. What does she have to do with me?"
"Yumi was my girlfriend you bitch. She and I loved each other until that day you killed her!" He said with anger. His eyes were blazing with hatred.
"Bankotsou I never killed her! I would never kill her! She was my best friend! The drunk driver crashed into her!" more hot tears ran down my face.
"NO! YOU KILLED HER! YOU WERE IN THE WAY! SHE HAD A CARING HEART SO SHE SAVED YOU! IT WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER IF YOU DIED! I WAS IN SO MUCH PAIN THAT I HAD TO AVENGE YUMI!" then he laughed.
"Know I am going to make you suffer. You wanna know something Kagome? I never loved you. I was just using you. I knew getting to your head wasn't enough so I went for your heart And you know what? It worked!" he laughed even more.
"I hate you. Every time we kissed I would get back home, brush my teeth, and wash my mouth. Every time we hugged, I would burn those clothes. Every hug, kiss, complement, moment we shared together was a lie! I hate you Kagome Higurashi! I HATE YOU!" Wow… that stung a lot. It hurt so much. I didn't know what to do anymore. The one I love hates me. I shoud have known it was a lie.
"So kagome I think it's time you suffer a bit more. Come on boys go ahead and have some fun" He laughed like a maniac now. The gang started to approach me. 'NO I GOTTA GET OUTTA HERE'
I noticed that my legs weren't tied so the first guy that approached I kicked him in his jewels.
"AAAUUURRGGGHH!" the man fell backwards.
I got up and made a run for it. Bankotsou was on my tail running after me. While I was running, I bumped into a man. I looked up and it was a man wearing a black hoodie and black baggy jeans. The man's face was covered. When Bankotsou reached us I closed my eyes waiting for something to happen to me but nothing came. I looked up and saw Bankotsou knocked down on the ground and the black man was on his back hand cuffing him.
"you are under arrest for kidnapping, drugs, vandalism of police territory, robbery and rape." I knew that voice from somewhere the man opened his hoodie and I instantly knew him and gave him a hug.
"Thank you officer Totosai " I was so glad to be safe. But before he took off with Bankotsou, Bankotsou shouted at me, " I WILL COME BACK KAGOME AND WHEN I DO I WILL GET YOU!"
Those words rang in my head. When I got home I went to my room and cried till no tears could be shead. I cried my heart out and wished what he said wasn't true though the event that happened was very real…
(End of Flashback)
I felt a nice breeze and looked at the direction. There was a small balcony and it was raining. I don't know what but I felt like I should play out there. I picked the guitar up and attached it to my back. I went to the balcony and there was a sakura tree.
It had a huge branch that was right in front of the balcony. I climbed on the ledge and got on the branch. It was huge thick and wide branch. Then beside it was a line of other branches beside it as if it were leading to the other side of the tree. I walked on them and on the other side of the tree was a huge branch similer to the first one but larger. I sat down on it and leaned my back on the trunk. Most of the leaves were covering the spot so not much rain was falling on me.
I looked at the sight and gasped. There was a pond that was clear and all around it was beautiful flowers. All the flowers gave off a nice scent that made me feel soothed. It was relaxing and my eyelids were getting heavy. 'Maybe I could sleep just a bit…'
X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X
Back At the Palace…
"Inuyasha! Inuyasha!" a childish voice said. I turned around to see Shippo running toward me. I stopped at my tracks to see what he had to say.
"What do you want?" I said roughly.
"Have you seen Kagome? I haven't seen her anywhere and it's getting dark." He said in a worried tone. For some reason I felt a wave of worry wash over me.
"Nobody has seen her after breakfast and she hasn't showed up at lunch or dinner. I am getting really worried."
"Did you check her room?"
"Yep but we found nothing. We checked all the sides of the palace but she is not here." I started to worry even more.
"Hey Inuyasha could you try looking for her?"
"Keh" I just went my way down the hall and I started to sniff around. I could't pick up that sweet vanilla scent that had a hint of lavender.
I tried to look in the garden when I picked up a small pinch of vanilla-lavender but it was hard to tell. The scent was being washed away by the rain. The scent vanished and I got frusterated.
"Damn the scent is g-" Then he heard some music and an angelic voice…
X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X
I woke up from my small nap and looked around to register where I was and then it clicked. 'oh yeah I came to play but I fell asleep… well I came to play to didn't i?'
I picked the guitar up and started to play a song. (I would like to play this song because it was her favorite before she passed away TT…)
Honestly what will become of
me
Don't like reality
It's way too clear to me
But really
life is daily
We are what we don't see
Missed everything
daydreaming
I walked towards the sound of the voice. I could not smell because the rain was washing the scent away. So that meant maybe she was outside. He came to the pond and he could hear the music clearly. 'Who is singing that? The sound is so…'
Flames to dust
Lovers to
friends
Why do all good things come to an end
Flames to
dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an
end
Come to an end come to an
Why do all good things come to
end?
Come to an end come to an
Why do all good things come to
an end?
I never noticed Inuyasha standing there because my eyes were closed so I just continued to sing my heart out.
Traveling I only stop at
exits
Wondering if I'll stay
Young and restless
Living this way I stress less
I
want to pull away when the dream dies
The pain sets in and I don't
cry
I only feel gravity and I wonder why
I listened to the music. Listening to that angelic voice…
Flames to
dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an
end
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things
come to an end
The song reminded me of myself a bit. Lots of people ask that question: 'why do all good things come to an end' and I guess we will never get the answer…
Come
to an end come to an
Why do all good things come to end?
Come
to an end come to an
Why do all good things come to an end?
Well
the dogs were whistling a new tune
Barking at the new moon
Hoping
it would come soon so that they could
Dogs were whistling a new
tune
Barking at the new moon
Hoping it would come soon so that
they could
I guess all good things do come to an end…
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why
do all good things come to an end
Flames to dust
Lovers to
friends
Why do all good things come to an end
Come to an end
come to an
Why do all good things come to end?
Come to an end
come to an
Why do all good things come to an end?
Wonder if this moment will come to an end… what am I thinking of course it will… might as well enjoy it while I still can then I will go see who's up there.
Well
the dogs were barking at a new moon
Whistling a new tune
Hoping
it would come soon
And the sun was wondering if it should stay
away for a day til the feeling went away
And the sky was falling
on the clouds were dropping and
The rain forgot how to bring
salvation
The dogs were barking at the new moon
Whistling a new
tune
Hoping it would come soon so that they could die…
I slowly opened my eyes and saw Inuyasha with his eyes closed. He was dripping in rain. 'Inuyasha?! What is he doing here? Maybe he didn't see me I should make a getaway. If he caught me that would be embarissing'. I quickly got away, put the guitar in the music room and ran down the hall I kept running and I bumped into someone. Then someone jumped into my arms. I looked and saw Shippo.
"Kagome!"
X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X
The music stopped and I just stayed there for a few seconds and opened my eyes I couldn't see anything from all the rain I leaped onto the branch but there was no one there 'huh who could have been here? What's that?'
on the branch there was a necklace. It was like a chain and it had a big pink marble. Kagome's scent was all over this thing. I jumped off the branch and put the necklace in my hoari. I went back in the castle.
X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X
I changed into dry clothes and just sat on my bed. I lifted my hand to touch my necklace but I couldn't feel it 'huh? Where is it?! Oh my god! I started to search around when I heard a knock on the door.
"come in" I said and Inuyasha came in.
"Hi Inuyasha"
"hey what are you doing?" He said confused.
"umm I lost my necklace did you see it" still searching around.
"Oh this necklace?" He took out my necklace.
"oh thank you thank you!" I took the necklace and gave him a hug. He had a surprised look on his face.
"Why is that necklace so important to you?" "…" I covered my face with my bangs.
"Kagome?"
"M-my mother gave it to me." I lifted my head to for him to see my teared face.
"Wha Kagome don't cry"
"I'm sorry I gotta go" I ran out of the room. I ran quickly. I kept running and running. I ran out of the castle, into the rain and in my dark world…
