Title: Finding that Spark

Chapter 1: Alone

By InuShemeeko

Twenty-two year old Kagome Higurashi sat on the end of her bed staring out at the stars. Her main goal was to find a meaning to her life. Did she even have one? Sota her nineteen-year-old brother was away at an out of state college. Due to her condition Kagome had chosen to go to college in state.

Images of that cold raining night flashes through her mind, it had been a Friday night. She and three of her best friends Eri, Yuka, and Sango had decided to go to the, movies that night. As the movie ended it had started to rain making the road very slippery. Once they hit the highway Kagome had decided to take it slow due to the weather all of her friends had agreed.

What happened next happened so fast no one saw it coming. A green ford F50 truck that was going sixty-five in a forty-five zone slid from the right side of the road and came head on at Kagome's teal 1994 firebird. The impacted crushed the front of the car like an accordion. Yuka had been killed instantly while Kagome had broken the femur in her left leg, and she had broken her right leg in several different places.

As the memory became fresh in her mind, Kagome raised her left hand up to the side of her face expecting it to be covered in blood as she bought it back down but it wasn't.

Both Sango and Eri had walked away with a broken arm and several cut and bruise from flying glass.

Kagome blink back a tear as her mother knocked and came into her room.

"I saw your light on Kagome I thought I would come and check on you. It's eleven fourteen at night what are you doing up?"

"I'm just thinking about the accident. The reason why I had to become crippled."

Mrs. Higurashi slowly came over and sat down beside her daughter.

"Oh I see. Did you find one?"

Kagome slowly nodded as she looked at her mother.

"Yeah, I think I did."

Two years ago Kagome, Sota and their father had found out that Mrs. Higurashi was a diabetic, as well as something wrong with the blood flow in her legs making it a great chance for her to get a blood clot. That fall in October on the 25 the Higurashi family got more bad news. Mr. Higurashi was diagnosed with cancer, five months later on March 26, 2003 Mr. Higurashi died in a hospital room with his wife at his side.

Kagome blinked back a tear as she stared at her mother.

"With dad gone and Sota away at college. That just leaves me to be here and help you out."

Kagome looked up at the heavens.

"What if he planned for me to be alone forever? Who's going to want a cripple like me?"

Mrs. Higurashi looked over at Kagome.

"Kagome what about that nice boy Hojo you were dating?"

Kagome sighed as she pulled in a breath.

"He was nice, but a little strange and when we kissed I never felt anything. So I knew in my heart that he wasn't the right one for me."

Kagome's eyes glistened with tears as she looked at her mother.

"Oh mom I just have this feeling that I'm going to be alone forever. I'm the only one here to take care of you and help you because everyone else is wrapped up in their own lives."

Mrs. Higurashi smiled lightly down at her daughter.

"Kagome you'll have more to your life some day I know it."

"If you say so mom. Right now I don't have much of one I'm too afraid to get behind the wheel again. So what guy is ever going to want someone who is afraid to drive, plus a cripple?"

"Aw honey don't think like that. When the time is right you'll find that special someone, I just know it."

Kagome sighed as she slid under her covers. She wished her mother was right, but some how she knew she wasn't. Kagome knew that she would never find that special person, it was impossible.
