Chapter 1: Just Like You2004
"Mother?"
"Yes?" she answered, flicking an ash out the window.
"What's . . . wrong?" perhaps the list was too long, hence the reason her answer was hesitant. A better question would be 'what is right?'
"Nothing is wrong." her tone was dismissive, I knew what she was trying to do.
"You don't have to lie to me." the statement was whispered, like I was talking to myself. Even though I felt like yelling my lungs out.
"When did you become so clever?" she inhaled the last drag of her cigarette, savoring the deadly taste.
"I've always been clever. You just haven't noticed." my tone was rarely representative of how I really felt. Though perhaps a slight tinge of anger coated my words. I tried to keep my temper in check, but it did have a habit of getting loose.
"Language." was her only reply.
I nearly exploded. We'd been driving in the same beat up station wagon for two days. Resting only twice to sleep.
"You don't have to blame me for what Dad did to you! He did it to me too." I folded my gaunt arms across my chest, determined to show I was hurt too.
"I don't blame you." she said shortly.
I look at her then. Not looked at her as in her fiery autumn brown hair, her wide beautiful eyes, sparkling with green but composed mainly of mud, and her thin worried face. I looked much deeper than that. To a place no one saw. Her heart. She was demanding. Knowing what she wanted and stopping at nothing to get it. She was passionate about everything. Work, life, love. She gave away just enough of herself for people to like her, yet kept so much in. She was demanding, a know-it-all, stubborn and sometimes down right unobservant. She was quick to judge and sometimes mistrusting. There was no perfect way to describe her. She was everything, yet nothing. For all I hated her, I came to realize then, that I wanted to be just like her.
"And will you turn down this racket?" her patience was growing thin under my critical gaze. "Just Like You" by a band I preferred, Three Days Grace, was blaring a little louder than normal, in the background.
"Afraid the lyrics might be true?" I whispered to myself. "It isn't noise. It's music." I was cranky. Riding on leather seats for two days in the July sun was enough to make anyone cranky.
"It's noise. Turn it down please Kag." I obliged, thinking it better than to upset her further.
"Where are we going this time?" I asked, feigning interest.
I didn't really care, we'd be moving in a year or less anyway.
"Maine. I hear it's small. Much better than L.A. You'll like it." she seemed to think she knew me better than I knew me.
"You're a city person Mom. Small towns aren't your style." I explained.
"There is a city though. Portland? Smaller than L.A. But it will suit us just fine."
I sighed heavily, unsticking my legs from the leather seat to sit them upon the dash.
"Feet off." my Mother ordered.
I removed my feet from the dashboard and searched for my sketch pad.
"Don't worry, only a couple days left Kagome." she smiled sweetly.
This was going to be a long trip.
Bum, ba da da dum dummmmm! So this is the latest story from the wonderful Anubis. Teehee ^_^ This is so Fetch! ^.^ I like how this story is going, and I like that I like it. hahaha. I know the starting chapter is a little short, and the first three or so will be. But once the story starts progressing the chapters will get steadily longer. *sigh* So how was the holidays? Groovy I hope. We still have New Years to look forward too though! *jumps up and down*
So, I know that these are suppose to be chapters and not 'blab' notes, but I want to say that I am reading "Kill Me, Kiss Me" and I'm wicked mad that I have to wait until November 2005! Until the fifth*and final* book comes out. How ghetto? But I can wait. I am working on like five other Mangas, so blah.
Anyway, enough out of me for today. I think the AN was longer than the chapter. Hahaha. Bye guys thanks for reading!
Love Anubis ^.^
