Note: The product of a weekly challenge/event at The Hero in the 21st Century mailing list on Yahoo!Groups. A word is given at the beginning of the week and we come up with a mini based on that word. This weeks word was faithI figured I could use the inspiration.


Keeping the Faith


It was hard to keep her hope up with everything that happened. No one really seemed to think about how hard it was to be the cheerful optimist. Especially when every instinct in her body told her to be worried about her little girl.

She feigned oblivion to the dangers that her daughter was obviously in. She pretended that it was normal for her baby to be jumping through time and fighting youkai.

She would have faith in Kagome.

Still, faith was a hard thing to have and to keep when your oldest child was destined to save the world.
