My Heart Will Go On
Chapter 1
In The Arms Of An Angel
----------------------------------
Spend all your time waiting
For that second chance
For a break that would make it okay
There's always some reason
To feel not good enough
And it's hard at the end of the day
Climbing out of the well, the miko of the future immediately sensed something was off. It was oddly quiet for one, the house was usually quite noisy. What with Sota playing his video games, her mother cooking and cleaning and her grandfather taking care of the shrine. So something was off. Maybe they went out for a while? she thought to herself.
Opening the door to the well house, she stepped outside.
I need some distraction
Oh beautiful release
Memories seep from my veins
Let me be empty
Oh and weightless and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight
Her face immediately went pale, as she saw yellow tape all around the area of her house that said 'KEEP OUT, POLICE AREA'. She ran towards the front entrance to the shrine, and saw two cop cars that were empty, and four cops getting out of them.
What made her pale even more was the destruction of her home. When she got a good look at it, especially in the windows, it looked like everything was torn or broken to pieces. Windows were shattered, and curtains were torn. She could only assume the inside wasn't that much better.
"Miss?"
She jumped at being addressed, and turned to a young female cop that had addressed her. She had long brown hair, and startling emerald green eyes that made her blink in awe.
"Yes?"
"Are you ... miss Kagome Higurashi?" She asked, looking down at the charts in her hand.
Kagome nodded. "Yes..."
"I am Kelly Martin, a police investigator," the woman told her, giving her head a small bow in greeting to the girl. "Me and my friends here...have some news for you, Miss Kagome. Perhaps you'd like to...sit down?"
Kagome shook her head back and forth. Kelly sighed. "Alright... well. I'm sorry to say that at around lunchtime today, your family was going into town, when they were hit by a drunk driver."
A small gasp escaped her lips.
"A-are they...?"
Kelly frowned, and seeing this made Kagome's heart skip a beat.
"I'm terribly sad to say... Your mother and grandfather died in the accident," Tears began to well in the young miko's eyes. "Your...little brother is in the emergency room in critical condition."
"S-So there's hope for Sota then...?" Kagome asked, tilting her head to the side, as she forced her tears back.
"There is hope, but it's small."
In the arms of the angel Fly away from here From this dark cold hotel room And the endlessness that you fear
Kagome nodded, then looked down towards the ground. Her family...her family was gone. Poof. Just like that.
It was just too hard to believe.
No.
It just...wasn't possible.
Her mother was always there, offering a warm, comforting embrace. Her grandfather was always there, offering his support and making excuses for her missing school time.
They just couldn't be...gone...
Kelly watched sadly as the young woman, who looked to already have a lot on her shoulders, at least in her eyes, collapse to the ground and start crying.
You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here
It don't make no difference
Escaping one last time
It's easier to believe
In this sweet madness
Oh this glorious sadness
That brings me to my knees
InuYasha suddenly felt as though something was terribly wrong. But as he looked around, everything appeared to be fine here in the feudal era. So why...?
Unless...Kagome...
His eyes stared down into the well in which he sat on the edge of, and gave a worried frown, before jumping down inside.
Dammit! That wench is always getting herself into trouble, even in her own era!
But when he opened the doors, he wasn't prepared for the sight that met his eyes.
So tired of the straight line
And everywhere you turn
There's vultures and thieves at your back
The storm keeps on twisting
Keep on building the lies
That you make up for all that you lack
Kagome was in the arms of a police woman, crying heartbrokenly. He twitched his ears to get any ideas of what they were saying.
"Mama.....grandpa..." He heard Kagome mutter her family's names, and frowned.
Something was terribly wrong.
Why was she crying?
"Gone...dead..." these words hit his ears, and he instantly went pale.
Kagome's family... one of the few who had only treated him as such, gone?
Forever?
He stood in front of Kelly who was gently rocking Kagome, and cleared his throat after he had successfully hidden his ears under his hair. They both looked up, startled.
Kagome was thanfkul that he had come. She needed him right now. She silently pulled herself from Kelly's arms, and was instantly pulled close to something warm and soft.
"Kagome..." He whispered softly.
It don't make no difference
Escaping one last time
It's easier to believe
In this sweet madness
Oh this glorious sadness
That brings me to my knees
In the arms of the angel Fly away from here From this dark cold hotel room And the endlessness that you fear
"Sh," Kagome whispered, her head resting on his chest as he stroked her dark raven hair gently with his clawed fingers.
"Just..." she said softly. "Just hold me. Please."
And that's what he did. The cops silently left the area, leaving the two alone. Kagome buried her face in his chest, and weeped for the loss of her family.
You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here
You're in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here
A/N: Mwaha, I'm evil and full of good ideas today. :3 Anyway, I think I'll have Souta live, so Kagome won't be too traumatized or anything, and she'll still have a piece of her family with her. But what will Souta's reaction to his family gone be? Oh, and what ever happened to the Higurashi Shrine? The police surely didn't do it. :P Find out next chapter!
Song is Sarah McLachlan's Angel. It's awesome. :)
