The One Thing

I was walking home from school on one of the very few days I actually went. The wind in my face felt as good as usual, though I prefer the sweet sent of the forests in the feudal era. It was a calm and dry day, and everything was normal. That’s when I saw the dark smoke coming from the shrine. I ran home as fast as I could, focusing on getting home. I was walking alone that day, so Yuke, Eari, and Ayumie weren’t with me. AS I got closer to home, I saw the worst. Fire-trucks were all around the property, and people were around watching. I ran past the people, just pushing my way to the front. I passed the fire-trucks. I heard someone shout at me to get back, but I didn’t care. I wanted to know what happened. I ran up to a fire-fighter that was pulling a green hose.
“What happened?! Is everybody OK?!” I shouted over the noise.
“I’m afraid not” said the fire-fighter “We found three bodies. All dead.”
I thought fast. ‘What if they took me to an orphanage? What if I never saw InuYasha again?’ “Wait, There should be one more person in there. Her name is Kagome.” I said to the fire-fighter. I had no idea what I was getting myself into. Faking my death? Not good, but I had to.
At that point, the firefighter made me get back. I ran to the well, even though it was on fire too, and I jumped in, tears streaming down my face. InuYasha wasn’t expecting me for another 2 days; I guess I would spend them at Keide’s. As the usual purple light stopped, and my feet touched the floor, I climbed up the rocky, vine covered wall. I was crying hard at this point. How could this have happened? I was told it was a kitchen fire, but we were always so careful. This is just too much. I was crying as hard as I could. I just sat on the edge of the well with my wet hands covering my even wetter red face.


“When the hell is Kagome gonna be back?” I yelled. She said 3 days, it’s only been 1, but still, I’m tired of waiting, it’s so different without her.
“InuYasha, relax, we still have another 2 days.” Said Miroku as he sat down on the floor of Keide’s hut. Keide said that we could stay here while she was away, and we didn’t have Kagome. I was NOT happy about her being gone. I always worry something will happen to her. That’s when it happened. I smelt Kagome’s tears. I ran to the well, where the sent was coming from. I heard Sango and Miroku yelling at me, asking where I was going, but I didn’t have time for that, Kagome was crying, hard. What had happened? I always hate it when she cries, and there was a LOT of tears. There she was, sitting on the well, tears rolling down her red cheeks, her hugging her knees.
“Kagome! Are you Ok? What’s wrong?


I was still crying, when I heard InuYasha start firing questions at me. I couldn’t answer any of them, I was sobbing to hard.
“InuYasha!” that’s all I could get out. I just ran up and hugged him, crying into his chest. “Their gone! Their all gone. I can go back, NO!” AT this point, I was speaking nonsense. I was in to much pain, I didn’t even think to go say bye to them one last time.
“Kagome…” InuYasha said softly “Kagome, you’re safe. It will all be ok, calm down, I’m here.”

Aww... that's so sad... Souta... Kagome's mom...

This is an excellent fic, Kaiame.

*blinks* What other fic? And did I reply to that one too?

Kaiame, If you are having problems with any ideas for your fanfics... please do not hesitate to pm me or another of your fellow authors for help for we will gladly help you in that regard. ^^

Kaiame, it is sad that Kagome's family died in the fire.

How did it happen when they were so careful?

Shippo: O_O WHAT?! Kagome's family is dead? *sniffs* No wonder she's crying. :cryriver:

Matsuo (Inuyasha and the Frozen Ryu Youkai): She still has you and Inuyasha, Shippo. *Comfort hugs Shippo*

Its called Swapped! its a comedy. (POSSIBLY with some romance...) anyway, don't worry about buyo, we'll hear from him.

YAY! Bouyo lives! I'll be waiting...

I think I've heard of this plot before Kaiame, but I'm NOT accusing you of stealing somebody's story. I've heard this plot before somewhere...

well, there has been a story sammy wrote where Kagome's parents died...but if you read it, this is WAY different.

pretty BIG writers block. and u told me u abandoned it on the phone a few days agao.

Remeber........?

update, soon. please. before you abandon it.

Kaiame, Please...

Update soon..

I have seen too many excellent fanfics go dormant and or die due to "Long term Writer's block" and it saddens me.

I admit that I am having a small problem with my own two fics, but I am willing to ask for help.

If you need some time off to think please inform us to that fact and we may just bump the topic every so often. ^^

Kaiame, you, like so many of our fellow fanfiction writers from the past few years to the present have a gift.

The gift of storytelling..

Please continue your stories, everyone.. Please take up where you left off or start anew. ^^

Thank you for your time and patience. *bows*

And one more thing...

HAPPY HOLLIDAYS!

I have a 4 hour trip ahead of me, and I will write a chap or 2 then.

Well I read through this and saw a lot of mistakes. Mostly with speech, paragraphs and a few spelling mistakes. Before I go into my criticism; may I suggest MSWord to help you with spelling and sentence structure? Trust me, it helps.

First of all, you can't have more then one person speaking per paragraph. Secondly, maybe having at least seven paragraphs, in my opinion, would make a nice full chapter. Thirdly, please check over your spelling. There's nothing more frustrating then reading a story full of spelling mistakes.

i sorry, for my fic. im a terrible speller.

Well, I tried. I got on Word 2003, and did like, 13 paragraphs. but when I went to put it on IJ, the paragraphs all went away. I respaced it, but it didn't work...

OK, I FINALLY found the notebook where I had the second chappie written. I'm still typing it, but just to let you know, Its comming!
