InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Glowing Eyes in the Shadows ❯ Reflections ( Prologue )

[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

This just came for me to write this today. I was listening to Simple Plan's song Perfect (don't own) and just knew that this would be how I started my story. I just thought it perfectly (pardon the pun) the emotion felt by the Furian (will be explained later). Please review. Constructive criticism is welcome.

The Furian
Reflections
 
Hey dad look at me
Think back and talk to me
Did I grow up according to the plan?
And do you think I'm wasting my time doing things I wanna do?
But it hurts when you disapprove all along
 
He was singing again…how many times did she have to tell him not to dothat? Ten…twenty? He didn't listen either way. Then again who would? It was his only escape from all of this.
 
And now I try hard to make it
I just want to make you proud
I'm never gonna be good enough for you
I can't pretend that
I'm alright
And you can't change me
 
And after all we had been through…all the rejection…the prejudice, escape sometimes made the pain go away even if for only a while. None of us would be the same. And how could we?
 
'Cuz we lost it all
Nothing lasts forever
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect
Now it's just too late and
We can't go back
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect
 
It's amazing how accurate this song was to our position. We couldn't go back. Never again see our homes…our families. No, it was too dangerous for them. But that didn't mean we were alone.
 
I try not to think
About the pain I feel inside
Did you know you used to be my hero?
All the days you spent with me
Now seem so far away
And it feels like you don't care anymore
 
We only had each other now. It's really amazing what hard times can do to a group of people…how it can make them join together to try to get through it. Yes, we were defiantly closer after The Accident. And if you think about it like that, then this whole situation didn't seem so bad. We were family now. There used to be separations, little groups of friends. Not anymore, now there was just one big group that depended on one another, who supported one another.
 
And now I try hard to make it
I just want to make you proud
I'm never gonna be good enough for you
I can't stand another fight
And nothing's alright
 
`Monsters' they called us, `A Danger to Human Kind'. They called us many things to try to explain us. They didn't understand what we had become. And of course when people don't understand something, they fear it. And what people fear…they destroy.
 
'Cuz we lost it all
Nothing lasts forever
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect
Now it's just too late and
We can't go back
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect
 
They couldn't understand, no. We used to be human like them. We didn't ask to be what we had become. Heck, we were just kids, what reason did they have to fear us? We just went about our business after The Accident.
 
Nothing's gonna change the things that you said
Nothing's gonna make this right again
Please don't turn your back
I can't believe its hard
Just to talk to you
But you don't understand
 
That's when the attacks started. Days would occur where some one would walk in with bruises and cuts. We were robbed and mugged. Threatening letters sent to our homes. Our parents being pressured. Our very lives in danger everyday. We were being called `freaks' and our self image lowered.
 
'Cuz we lost it all
Nothing lasts forever
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect
Now it's just too late and
We can't go back
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect
 
Eventually it became too much. There was only one thing we could do to survive this. We had to get away from here, from the world. So we went into hiding.
 
'Cuz we lost it all
Nothing lasts forever
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect
Now it's just too late and
We can't go back
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect
 
And here we are in unexpected Tokyo, Japan. The question on everyone's mind: “What's going to happen next?”
