Chapter 19: Silence

The silence that followed his question was a living thing. It seemed to suck all of the life from the room leaving nothing but the faint ticking of the clock behind. Tony watched his daughter his heart thumping heavily as he waited for her answer, even Tanaka seemed to watch her niece with a dreaded sort of expectancy. It was clear that not even she knew the reasons for the girl's depression. Kagome remained eerily silent under their gazes, perfectly at ease in the tense atmosphere , as she contemplated what to tell them. She may not have known much English but the man's… her father's expression and tone combined with what little she did know painted a clear picture. He wanted to know what happened to her. It amused her somewhat to think about how complex an answer such a simple question truly had. There was so much that had happened to her that it would take her hours to fully explain. Hours she felt no need to waste on this stranger her mother had sent her to.
