"How much further Kyo? I can't wait till we get to the park!!! Then I can play with Kagome on the swings!!!!" Laughing gaily Zatch skipped to the park, not watching where he was going.
Kyo smiled
"We're almost there Zatch, don't be so impatient!!!" He yelled, but he was smiling all the same, Kagome looked on curiously, wondering about this strange blond kid. Did he really want to play with her? And was he even watch-…..
CRASHBANG!!!!!
"WWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!"
…..I guess not…..
"ZATCH!!! YOU IDIOT!!!THIS IS THE REASON YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO LOOK WHERE YOUR GOING!!!!" Screamed Kyo as he picked up Zatch, who had, unceremoniously, crashed right into a telephone pole and fell onto the floor.
"It hurts!!!!" Zatch yelled as he held his bruised cranium.
Kagome walked up to him, eyes looking as if there was a fight going on inside that young head of hers. Finally, she brought a hand up to Zatch's head and, suddenly, with a slight blue light, the bruise was gone.
Kyo's eyes widened, what just happened? Was she playing with a blue flashlight or something?
"Huh? What you do? My head feels better though, are a…..ummm…..what's it called……a doctor?" he questioned, eyes sparkling in delight that the pain was gone.
Kagome giggled, this boy was very strange, how could she be a doctor, she was only 5, but she was a miko, would that count?
"No." she simply said, smiling a bit.
Kyo kept quit observing his cousin, what had happened? Maybe he should talk to his mother about this…..
"LOOK KYO!!!WE'RE THERE!!!!!!" Zatch exclaimed as he ran towards the park, only to run back, grab Kagome, then drag her towards the swing set.
Kyo chuckled at this, it was amusing to see his beloved little cousin dragged and practically thrown onto the swing, a shocked look on her face, that soon turned into smiles as Zatch pushed the swing happily.
Zatch was persistent, he wanted Kagome as a friend, he was gonna do his best to get this girl to open up!!! She was a kid, but she seemed to act much older, it made Zatch frown, a cloud of sadness seemed to surround her. He wanted it gone, it was just like Kyo, almost as if they felt no one wanted to try and accept them. But Kyo's not like that anymore, and he wanted the same thing to happen to Kagome….even if she made him feel angry whenever Kyo seemed to act to lovingly around her.
What was all that about anyway?
'Oh well!!!' he thought as he continued to push the swing, Kagome now laughing in happiness.
Kyo watched, this was the young girl he loved so much, she was laughing. He loved to see her smile, being happy. Her mother had been devastated when her father left, he barely remembered the man.
What he did remember was a soft, gentle, smile that always seemed to make him feel better when he was a child. The same smile Kagome had, same hair, same nose, same ears,….same eyes……
He remember the day the man disappeared, his aunt crying fat tears of devastation, holding Kagome to herself as if someone was going to just snatch her out of her arms at any given moment.
…..
He remembered watching from his bedroom door, eyes big in fear, what had happened? Tears had filled his eyes, he hated to see the youthful woman cry, she was always so happy!!!! When he heard those words spoken, his world froze……
….Two-Simple-Words….
….Who knew it only took two to make world freeze and time to stop?
"He's gone…."
They were spoken so hollowly, as if the young woman's life was worth nothing anymore, like there was no purpose….
….but….that wasn't true….
He remembered looking lower, to see the small bundle in her arms, didn't the baby mean something?
He looked at his aunt, and walked out from behind the door, two pairs of eyes flew to him, his mother looking as if she was going to scold him and take him to his room.
"That's not true Aunty, I know he'll come back, he loves you, and Kagome. Besides Kagome needs you, you have to be strong for her….." His eyes were searching, hoping, for his aunt to respond positively.
She smiled, tears still falling, he faltered, looking down a bit.
"Your right….." His head jerked upwards in shock.
She smiled " She does need me," she held her baby closer to herself, " She needs me now more than ever…."
"KYO!!!!! COME PLAY WTH US!!!" came a scream, his head snapped upwards, Zatch was calling out to him.
"Nah, I think I'll just sit here and watch." He said happily, a small smile on his face.
"Hey….where'd Kagome go?" said Zatch as he looked around himself, Kagome nowhere in sight.
Kyo panicked
"KAGOME!!!! KAGOME!!! WHERE'D YOU GO!!!" He screamed, he ran and looked everywhere, somewhere in his mind he registered loud bellows of his cousins name coming from Zatch, but he paid no heed.
Where was she?
WHERE WAS KAGOME!!!!
"KAGOME!!!!!"
" Oh hi Kyo!!!" came a voice, and he whipped around, ready to hurt someone.
….Only to see Suzy….
….and….in her hands…was Kagome…
….Thank GOD…
To be continued….
Hmmm, why did Kagome walk off? STAY TUNED TO FIND OUT!!!!-
