It was crowded, almost ridiculously so. It was the tail end of August, one of the highest points in the Japanese tourist season, and it seemed that all of Tokyo had flocked to Fuji-san to enjoy the various spas and tea houses that dotted the surrounding countryside. As they got closer to their destination, the drive slowed to an annoying crawl at places. Eventually they made it to their destination, though finding a parking space was a nightmare in and of itself.
Kagome opened the rear door and Taka jumped out of the car. She closed the door as he trotted away, and Kagome found Sesshoumaru disappearing down one of trails already without her. She ran to catch up to him, staying close at his side while Taka moved along in front of them, wagging his tail. She got a strange feeling that he knew exactly where they were going, even though that was ridiculous.
Kagome learned quickly why they called Aokigahara the Sea of Trees. It was the middle of the day, but the covering of trees was so thick that barely any light could reach the forest floor. It was dark, creepy, and it was crazy that she was even doing this.
No, it wasn't crazy. She needed this. It would mean some finality, some closure and reality to Sesshoumaru's stories, and it would give her a chance to pay respect to two of her dearest friends. She didn't know exactly what to feel. She thought maybe she should have been sad, or crying even, but she couldn't find the will to. They had been dead for so long it seemed pointless, futile. It was cliché, but perhaps they really were in a better place than this.
After awhile, they passed by a sign that begged for anyone contemplating suicide to think of their loved ones and to please reconsider. Kagome unconsciously drifted closer to Sesshoumaru. At this point, the number of tourists they passed by on the path began to decline. Eventually they stepped off the path completely, wandering into the brush. Sesshoumaru produced a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and lit up. He didn't seem to mind as Kagome used his elbow to steady herself as they climbed over some fallen trees.
When she caught sight of a noose hanging from a tree branch, a makeshift thing made from a tacky tie, she shuddered and kept walking on tired feet.
