My Story

Chapter 3- Staying a While

A/N: Hey. I made it up to the third chapter, I usually don't make it that far so, and I hope I'm doing good with the story so far. Don't forget to review ….I like reviews (it lets me know people are actually reading my story!)

 

 

I don't remember even arriving here… where ever here is. I remember a woman, she took me to her home, but every thing after that is kind of fuzzy.

 

Looking around the room I notice it's a nice cozy little room, with wooden walls, a dresser, a night stand with a lamp and a nice comfy bed, which I happen to be very comfortable laying in at the moment.

 

Hearing the door open I turned. It's that woman. What was her name again? Oh yeah, Sango I think it was.

 

“Your awake I see. Did you enjoy your rest? How is your head?”

 

Ah yes, I kind of forgot about that cut. Now that she reminded me, it began to throb.

 

“Its doing okay, I guess. And I enjoyed my sleep very much thank you.”

 

I'm not usually this polite, but after all this woman did so much to help me, I don't know how to repay her.

 

“Are you hungry? I bet you are, you've been asleep for the past day and a half. I'll go get you something to eat. Is stew alright for you?”

 

“No it's alright, I probably should get going, you've done so much for me already, and I am very grateful. Is there any way I can repay you?”

 

And really, I was grateful, but I couldn't impose on her any longer, that would be asking too much. But before I could finish protesting she cut me off.

 

“Nonsense, I was happy to do so. And you could repay me by staying for a meal and stay until you are alright to walk about. We don't get many visitors here in Windford, and we sure would enjoy the company. You could meet my husband Miroku as well. He's a nice ol' fella, that he is …once you get past all his, um , quirks. He can't wait to meet you, but I'm afraid you will have to wait because he and my sons went on a trip. So it will be just the two of us for now…..”

 

This time it is my turn to cut her off. If I don't, I don't think she would ever stop rambling, and since she was freely offering their hospitality, I might as well take it, at least until I can walk right, with out falling over. Well here it goes.

 

“Sango, Was it?”

 

Seeing her nod her head and close her mouth I continued.

 

“I accept your gracious offer to stay here a little longer, at least until I am better that is.”

 

Seeing her smile get bigger and the excitement in her big brown eyes, I could tell I made the right choice. Feeling a little hungry I decided to make a request for my stomach.

 

“So what about that stew”

 

Grinning up at her, she got the idea and left quickly, only to come back 5 minutes later with a bowl of hot steaming stew.

 

That sure looks good, and as soon as it's placed in front of me I dug in. Very delicious, if I do say so my self. I look up at Sango, and she's staring at me with curiosity in her eyes, as if she's got a question. And I was right. As soon as I looked up at her she asked me something.

 

“Where exactly do you come from, Kagome? I mean you're obviously not from around here with an accent like yours.”

 

I couldn't exactly tell her that I'm the unwanted daughter of the mer king, and I'm really not human, but a girl with a tail and gills. She'd think I was crazy and throw me out, or send me to some place for the mental! So I have no other choice but to throw her a white lie.

 

“I come from across the sea. There is a war going on in my country and they had to send some of us away. But unfortunately there was a storm, and I was forced overboard, and when I woke, I was on the beach, and then you know the rest from there”

 

So it was a little white lie. But it did have a lot of truth in it for me, but the next question, I was able to answer fully and completely with out lying, and that kind of sad.

 

“What of your family, are they still over there, or were they on the boat as well, and made it your planned destination”

 

“Well no, not really. I have no family. I never have. They abandoned me long ago.”

 

And that was all I said. I think she got the point though, cause after that she got quiet and didn't ask any more questions.

 

~*~*~*~*~

 

I woke up with the sun shining in my eyes, and I roll over, and open my eyes a bit, just to see Sango hovering over me. She looked like she was having an internal conflict with herself on whether to wake me or not, but since I woke up all on my own, I solved it for her and she just grinned down at me and started her daily ramble.

 

“Are you feeling well enough today to go out? I can show you the town and we can shop for some stuff for you, since your staying here for a while…”

 

We decide this a few days ago. I have been resting in her home for the past 4 days, and last night she came to me, she had came to the decision whether her husband likes it or not that since I have no where to go at the moment, then I was going to stay with them. And then Sango gave me a look, telling me she wouldn't take no for an answer, so I just nodded, and decided we'll talk some more about it in the morning, which at the moment is now.

 

“…Oh and how could I forget, would you like any breakfast?”

 

“no, not at the moment, and yes I'm feeling a lot better thanks to the wonderful concoction you made (no matter how bad it tasted, and let me tell you it was AWFUL…with a capital A). I would love to go to town with you for a while. I don't think I can stand another moment cooped up in this house anyways…not that your house isn't nice or anything…”

 

She smiled happily,

 

“Oh I can't wait! You'll really love it here; every one here is so nice.”

 

With that she left the room to go get ready.
