The sun was just beginning to set, casting a light orange glow over the city. Although small in size, this city was still very busy with people. Especially at this hour, as everyone was either getting off of work, out of school, or just going to work. The sidewalks were overrun with anxious people wanting to get home or to their destination.
Amongst the crowded streets, a small girl was weaving her way through the crowd of people on her bicycle. Trying in vain not to hit anyone as she did so, grunting in annoyance the small girl quickened her pace, she was suppose to be home two hours ago, but in result of a fight with a fellow school mate, she had to stay behind in detention.
As she quickened her pace, her long black hair flowed behind her like a dark river. Paying no mind to the people around her, the small girl squinted her eyes, against the harsh rays of the descending sun. Finding the street she needed, the small girl turned and followed it. Sighing in relief as it wasn't as busy as the main street.
Looking up at the position of the sun, she bit her lip slightly, before sighing. She had no time to go there tonight. Shaking her head mentally to rid it of unwanted thoughts. The girl began her track into another street, taking the back roads to reach her home. As she turned down another street, her lips turned into a frown. Before her was a couple riding their bikes, both seemed to have all the time in the world.
Growling in annoyance, the small girl rode behind them with what little patience that remained. As they stopped at a stop light she was beginning to regret taking these roads. She had no problem with people showing affection for one another, she just didn't like this much of it.
As the light turned green, she hurried forward. A move she instantly regretted, as she had put to much speed forward she tripped over her own bike. Resulting in her face meeting the ground, sadly, instead of her bike falling down with her. It seemed to have a mind of its own, as it rolled down the huge hill she had previously been riding up.
Feeling her face get hot with embarrassment as she noticed the people on the streets staring at her. The small girl bit her lip, and got up. Not bothering to answer the concerned questions on her well being, she began running down the hill, after her bike.
Unfortunately, for her, the bike had made it almost all the way down the hill. Until it got tangled in the tall wild grass of the field on the side of the road. The small girl smiled lightly, as her sight looked over the field. She liked it here, in this city, for that reason. Although they had a city, they hadn't lost nature to it.
Approaching her bike, the small girl picked it, and letting it lean against her side. She took in the sight of the field once more.
It was beautiful, like a small forest. There was wild grass everywhere, sometimes the grass stood as tall as her person. Other times, it reached her ankles, tickling her skin whenever the wind blew. She smiled sadly as she looked at the area, she use to spend almost every day here. With her father, her smile slowly dropped at that thought. Closing her eyes, the small girl let her other senses take in the beauty of the field.
This place, was her and her father's heaven. That was, until half a year ago, when her father went to another heaven. She squinted her eyes quickly, hoping to keep the tears at bay. She loved this place, but it always made her do this. She had promised herself, she wouldn't cry. Not at home, or anywhere else. For her mother and baby brother, she would stay strong, and not cry, not after that night at least. But on that night half a year ago, she had not only lost her father-but her best friend.
Sighing to herself, the small girl grasped her bikes handle bar. She began walking out of the field, and back onto the sidewalk. But stopped, as she felt something under her foot followed by a hiss. Gasping in shock, at the pain she suddenly felt in her leg. She let her bike fall, and brought her hands down to her shin, where the pain had been a moment ago.
She looked at it curiously, there was no blood, nor any mark. Looking into the wild grass, her eyes widened when she noticed a long green snake looking at her, with what seemed to be anger. "I'm sorry Mr. Snake , I didn't mean to step on you." the girl stated quietly. Giving the snake one last apologetic glance, she rose slowly before grabbing her bike once more. The small girl began walking away, making sure to avoid the snake this time.
"It is of no problem, little one. I apologize for biting you, but fear not, as there is no poison within the wound." A female voice sounded, from where the girl had previously been.
The girl stiffened, that wasn't what she had thought would happen. Curiosity taking over logical thought, the small girl turned around. Thinking someone must have been pulling a prank, because surely-snakes couldn't talk. But as she looked around the field, for someone or anyone. She noticed it was empty except for her, and the green snake who seemed to be looking at her with curiosity and amazement.
The small girl frowned, "Did you just talk to me?" she questioned, looking at the snake.
The snake moved its upper body in a nodding motion, "Indeed I did, and it seems you heard me, interesting." the snake replied, as it looked the girl over with a keen eye.
The girl blinked slowly, as her mind tried to take in the information that the snake could talk. She was brought from her daze as the snake spoke up again. "You better be getting home now little girl, as the sun is almost set. You have no clue what lays in the darkness." it warned quietly, before disappearing into the taller grass.
The small girl looked at where the snake had disappeared, before looking up at the sky. Her eyes widened, she hadn't thought that much time had passed. Shaking her head to clear the thoughts, the girl tightened her hold on her bike handles before running out of the field and starting her bike ride home.
* * *
The small girl sighed in relief as she reached her home, glad to finally get there. She hoped that her mother wasn't to worried. Putting her bike in its correct place, the small girl, made her way inside. Only to be greeted with her mother walking around in a frantic pace. Seeing that her mother didn't notice her presence, the girl spoke. "I'm home mother."
The girls mother stopped in her place, and turned to look at the girl. Relief overcoming her person, her body instantly relaxed, she sighed. "Thank goodness your home Kagome, I was about to call the police." She stated, in a scolding tone.
"I'm sorry mother. I got sidetracked on the way home" the girl, now known as Kagome, stated quietly.
Her mother sighed, and taking in her six year old daughters appearance, frowned. "That's fine Kagome, go and get cleaned up. Dinner will be ready soon, and please don't be late again" she stated with a tired voice, giving her daughters hair a ruffle, as she passed her. The older woman walked into the kitchen to finish the task of dinner.
Kagome sighed too, walking up the stairs she made her way into her room. Grabbing her pajamas, she then made her way into the bathroom. As she was soaking in the tub, Kagome glanced around the room. Most of their household items were packed, leaving only the needed things. They were moving this weekend, to live with her grandfather.
Kagome frowned at that thought, she didn't want to move. Sure, she hated the pity filled glances she got, at school or on the street. Sure, she was always filled with sadness with the reminder of her fathers presence. But she didn't want to leave this town, or its memories behind.
She knew she couldn't tell mother of what happened today, well...at least not what happened with the snake. Because that would give her mother more of a reason to want to move. Pulling her leg from the water, she looked at it curiously. There was still no evidence that she had been bitten; no swelling or bruising, or puncture holes. Nothing.
She was beginning to wonder, if she had just imagined the whole thing. Her frown deepened, that wasn't possible. Surely she couldn't of had such a vivid dream while being a wake. She laughed lightly at that thought, then again talking snakes wasn't possible either.
Feeling that she had thought to much on the matter, and been in the bath to long. She left the bath, draining the water, she tried herself off and then got dressed in a pajamas. Once dressed, Kagome dried and then tied up her hair before leaving the bathroom and making her way downstairs.
She smiled in greeting towards her mother, as sat down when she noticed dinner was already at the table. Her mother smiled at her, "Your just in time, I was about to call for you." she stated, before taking her seat beside her daughter.
Kagome nodded, thanking her mother for the food she began eating. Half way through the meal, her mother spoke. "Care to tell me what happened at school, that resulted in you getting detention."
Kagome sighed, she was hoping her mother wouldn't have brought that up. Finishing what was in her mouth, she spoke. "Not really, people just talk to much" she replied quietly.
Her mother frowned, instantly knowing what her daughter meant by that. She smiled lightly at her daughter, "Don't worry honey. Soon we will be living with your grandfather, at a new place. You will get a chance to meet new people." she stated, in a hopeful voice.
Kagome nodded, but said nothing. The rest of dinner was spent quietly between the two, when they finished eating the quiet atmosphere was broken as her brother's soft cry came from his room. "AH, I guess Souta is up now, can you take the dishes into the kitchen please?" her mother asked her.
With Kagome's nod, her mother left the room to tend to Kagome's baby brother. Kagome sighed, and began the task of collecting the dishes. Once they were all gathered, she went towards the kitchen. When she crossed through the entryway, she stopped. She didn't know what had happened, but a sudden pain tore through her upper knees bucked at the pain, making her fall, and the dishes crash onto the wooden floor.
"Argh" she hadn't known that she screamed, but when her mother came in, she saw the worried expression and instantly regretted it. She wanted to get up, and ease her mother's pain but she couldn't. Her body felt as though it was on fire, and her bones felt like each one was being smashed with a hammer, as each muscle was ripped through with a knife.
Her mother sat down next to her, with her free hand, she felt her daughters forehead. She had no idea what was bothering her eldest child. All she knew was her daughter kept murmuring hot. Putting her hand against the skin, she pulled it back instantly. Looking at her hand, she noticed it was slightly red.
"Hold on Kagome!" she yelled frantically. Getting up she got the phone quickly, and dialed their doctors number, asking if he could come to their home, as it was an emergency. After hanging up with the doctor, she put her son in they play pin before going back over to her pained daughter.
She put her hands under her daughter, and with some effort managed to lift her off the ground. The doctor had said he would come now, though it will take him some time, and to put Kagome onto something comfortable.
She didn't want her daughter lying near broken glass, especially since she was thrashing about in what seemed to be pain. She her lip worriedly as she thought over her daughters condition, as she made her way upstairs and to her daughters room. She had no clue what was happening, but all she did know was that, her daughter had been fine during dinner. But was now in pain, she didn't want her daughter to be in this much pain.
Setting her daughter onto her bed, she watched her carefully. It seemed as though Kagome was trying to remain conscious even with all the pain. Which was good and bad in a way. Good, because if she was asleep she wouldn't feel the full extent of the pain. Bad, because well if she fell asleep now she may never wake up.
Hearing the doorbell, she left her daughters side to go and greet the doctor. She showed him to her room, before waiting outside with Souta in hand, waiting for the doctor to tell her what was wrong.
* * *
The doctor checked over the pained girl carefully, there was no physically bruises or wounds that were causing the fever, nor the pain. He couldn't figure it out, opening her mouth so he could give her medicine that would help with he pain, he paused.
There were what seemed to be ten small dark marks on the girls tongue. Something he had never seen in all of his years of this practice. Giving the girl her medicine, he frowned as he looked at the marks closer. They were not just dots, as he first thought. But instead they took on a weird marking, of what he had no clue.
Sighing he let her mouth close, as he wrote down the information. He would usually suggest that she may have caught a bad twenty four hour flu, but the symptoms didn't match. Closing his notebook her checked her over once more. Seeing her calm down somewhat, and her body relax. He gave a nod before leaving the room.
After closing the door, he cleared his throat to get the worried mother's attention. ", may I ask you a question?"
She nodded, and looked at him curiously.
"Did Kagome always have black marks on her tongue?" he questioned.
Her eyes widened and her body stiffened. "B-black marks?" she questioned quietly, seeing the doctors nod. She shook her head, "No, does she have them now. Do you know whats wrong with her?" she questioned, the worry for the daughter evident in her voice.
The doctor sighed, and shook his head. "No, I gave her some pain medicine and it seems to be working. Continue to check on her every few hours, and give her another dose of medicine in six hours. and yes, she has nine or so black marks along her tongue." he replied.
She sighed, and nodded. Thanking him, Mrs. Higurashi bid the doctor goodbye at the door. Setting Souta back into his crib, she approached made sure he was asleep before going to her daughters room.
As the doctor had said, her daughter seemed to have calmed. Approaching her, she opened her daughter mouth slightly, and her heart sank. Just as the doctor had said, the black marks she never hoped to see on either of her children marked her daughter.
Sighing she brushed, her daughters hair out of her face. Giving a light kiss to her forehead, she bid her daughter goodnight. Leaving the room, she went to the library in their house and searched through one of the old books that was in an open box. She needed to read up on it, and do all she could to help her daughter.
* * *
Kagome watched as her mother left the room, with a daze. She had no clue what was going on, all she knew was the pain had lessened. She was at the same amount of confusion as everyone else, in what resulted in her pain. But she was glad that it was almost gone, as was the heat.
She knew, this pain wasn't caused by the snakes bite. If it was, she wouldn't even been able to look at her ceiling. Sighing she let herself relax completely, as her eyes began to close she shivered as her body began to become comfortably cold.
Anywho, enjoy!!
