Title: Signs In Ink

Chapter One: How A Innocent Girl Became Deaf

------------------------------------------------

At the age of 3, I had long reddish-raven hair, and unbelievable grayish-Dartmouth green eyes. I was born with regular natural hazel eyes, but on my 3rd birthday, they changed. My parents took me to a doctor, and they found it normal. What was weird was that the color was completely… nonhuman, and the fact that they change while I was at such a young age. My pupils were surrounded with a pure light dust grey, and my eye color was Dartmouth green.

I watched this when I was older, and I was crying my head off. My eyes were killing me, as though someone had put needles in my eyes. My parents were concerned. At the age of 5, I lost all ability to hear. I woke up, and could not hear anything.

My other senses were stronger though, and my parents were really freaked now. They took me to a woman, she was about 33 years old, her name was Kaede Mihana. I was to stay with her for a whole week for examining. After the week, my parents returned. Kaede announced that I was a very rare creature.

"Creature." my mother repeated sorrowfully. Kaede told my very young parents that my kind was known as a Dust Miko. Miko sounded so normal to my parents, whom grown up in their own parents shrine. My mother, Isabella, haven't heard of such a miko, including she knew everyone except this one. Anyway, Kaede explained all Dust fairies became deaf at a young age… for a good, yet, bad cause.

Since my kind was so rare, my life would be difficult. As I got older, my flaws would cause people to hate me. My mother cried at this, my father was only pale. Kaede suggested I see her regularly. Kaede became my godmother. I was a half breed, people called me, and I grew up mute.

The weird thing about it was that I was able to speak, but refused too. I could only hear my own voice in my head. I always felt a mean part of me talking back. Years past, and I became distant. I had claws, fangs, weird nonhuman eyes, pale skin, and a disability.

It broke my mothers heart to see me grow up miserable, but we all pulled threw. When my mother got pregnant, they were so excited. They had a boy, Souta. A normal human boy, not even miko like his mother. They began to neglect me.

My father, Ken, was hooked on Souta like meat to a dog. When Kaede found out at how they were treating me, she asked if she could adopt me. They gave me away in open arms. No one though of my parents of heartless people when they found out, but they thought of them as wise people. I felt my heart tear, I was only 11.

No one cared, only Kaede did. She gave me a middle name that she loved to bring up, Chiri. (Which means 'dust' in Japanese.)

When I came home from school one day with a note, saying that I was extremely talented in art. She accepted, and also bought me an art set. Set of ink pens, I colored best with them. I usually covered 10 sketch books every month. As I say before, years went on, and I remained the same.

I am Kagome Chiri Mihana, I'm a Dust Miko, and I'm deaf. Guys avoided me, I had no friends, I'm 15 at the moment. Turning 16 tomorrow. Nothing big, but who knows… maybe something unexpected will happen. Though I doubt it.

Wind: Needles slicing against my pale skin…

Rain: My favorite art to sign in ink….

Both: The combination is not comparing…..
