Clarity
Eleven years ago.
Kagome cringed looking in the mirror.
She really was growing older.
And her heart was starting to finally give out.
From stress, hustle and bustle, and from being broken.
Kagome gave herself a fake face lift, putting her wrinkling hands on the sides of her face and lifting the skin.
She couldn't find the girl from eleven years ago.
It scared her.
But then a lot of things scared her nowadays.
Like the political unrest in American politics, the changing world, her aging hands, and the fact she never thought she heard her grandfather sigh anymore.
But then that just made her sad.
So she spent more time in the wood, staring at clouds and imagining she had someone to be silly with.
But no one had wanted to be silly with her.
And that made her sad.
Sometimes she'd close her eyes and imagine herself back in the time when she had no worries except for two.
Would the bad guy really die?
And…
Did he love her?
Yes and no.
She laughed.
Sometimes she could smell him.
And feel his hand enclosing hers'.
And she would cry, just a little.
