It was a muggy summer evening when four women were seen walking down the small towns main street crosswalk, each licking their own ice cream cone. Every now and then, a car would amble its way down the street, its muffler 'PUTT—PUTT-TING' as he headed to the local general store, or the ice cream parlor.

 

The four women, each with their own flavor of the cold treats, laughed and chatted amicably. The shortest woman, wearing a pair of khaki shorts and a dark blue T-shirt, her long brown hair pulled into a loose ponytail, was named Sango Hanami. Next to her walked a fairly thin and overly-beautiful woman, whose strawberry blonde hair fluttered sensually in the barely there breeze. She wore a pair of white Capri's and a light blue T-shirt. Her icy-green eyes were so shocking, you would get goosebumps every time you were unlucky enough to stared down by her. Her name was Ayame Wolfman. Wearing a designer sundress, with high heeled, sandals, was Kikyou Wellington, wife of the very successful doctor, Naraku Wellington. She wore her hair in tight curls, that were so full of hair spray products, that they didn't move in a hurricane. Last, but certainly not least, was another Asian woman with a kind smile and shockingly sky-blue eyes. She wore a knee length yellow halter sundress with white flip flops. Her obsidian locks were loose and trailing gently down her bare back. She was Kagome Higurashi.

 

Quiet, gentle, somewhat shy, Kagome was your average small town girl—with a shocking temper hidden underneath. She was known to be, by everyone, continuously sweet and always forgiving. She was never seen without a smile and—of course—her wiener-dog, Moochie. At this very moment, the four best friends were enjoying a 'girls night out' sort of deal, which was something that rarely happened any more.

 

When they reached the main square of the only park in the town, they stopped to chat with an elderly couple sitting on a bench and feeding stale pieces to the greedy flock of geese and ducks.

 

Everything had happened to fast…the four women were talking to the adorable couple, when suddenly, a car came screeching around the corner—straight towards them. None of them knew what was happening. It was first a beam of headlights in Kagome's eyes, someone screaming her name, and then someone shoving her out of the way.

 

She, Kagome, had broken her wrist, trying to break her fall, and had scrapes up her arm and cheek. Sitting up and wincing as she cradled her rapidly swelling wrist, she noticed that all she could hear was the loud THUD as something landed into the pavement behind her. Breathing rapidly, as she could suddenly hear the terrified screams of her friends, she slowly craned her neck so she could look behind her.

 

Upon the black asphalt bike path, that stretched from the street and through the park, lay a heap of mottled, bleeding, and bruised arms and legs…wearing, now sordid with blood and dirt, white Capri's and a blue T-shirt… Her bright green eyes, opened, were now clouded over and faded into an ugly grey.

 

Ayame was dead.

Please review…do you think it's possible if I could get 10 reviews before I post the next chapter? Just seeing if people are "ACTUALLY" willing to read and THEN REVIEW, instead of reading it and moving on…yeah. Thanks!
