"Kagome…" he tried not to snarl, but she was pushing his patience to the limit. It was rare that they fought, and even rarer that he lost his temper but it seemed this day was one of those rarities.
"What? You don't agree?" she asked with her arms crossed over her chest. She was now fourteen, and as promised he aged with her. However, he had found that with every year her personality blossomed. Granted it was also being warped and manipulated by the growing abuse, but she could still cop a pretty bitchy attitude.
"You already know the answer, what made you do that?" he asked. He was doing his best to reign in his anger and irritation, but surprisingly she could rub him just the wrong way to make it challenging.
"I wanted something different, my hair was getting heavy and I wanted a different color." She replied. She had decided to cut her own hair, and then color it. She had always had long black hair, but she wanted to be rebellious in some way. This was her best option, and from the looks of it her best friend didn't like her choice. The hair that had been at the top of her ass, was now in an ear length bob cut, and it was red. She had dyed it a vibrant dark red, and she didn't think it looked that bad. Apparently he disagreed.
"Red? Kagome, and that short?"
"Why do you care about my hair Sessh?" she asked. She walked over to a tree in the school yard and sat down. He hadn't cared when she had started wearing a lot more black clothing, and she still wore long sleeves all the time. Something he hadn't been pleased about, but hadn't thrown this big of a stink over.
"Because I liked it the way it was, you're changing your appearance too much in my opinion." He said while still standing.
"I know you don't like change, but I had to do something that I could control." She replied with a small smile, and a sadness within her eyes that had his anger running for the hills. He knew that she craved to be in control of her life, at least some aspect of it. So, it was with a heavy inward sigh, that he sat next to her and pulled her into his side.
"Just promise me this will be as far as you go, no weird piercings, tattoos, or anything of the nature." He said while laying his head on top of hers. No matter what she did, he couldn't stay mad at her. He was falling in love with the girl, and he had no interest in stopping the process. He had known when he first met her that she was different, and the more he found...the more he fell.
Thank you, and I hope to read more wonderful reviews.
