Because of Him, Chapter One- To Change My Life

Kagome walked slowly, her eyes staring at the ground, watching her feet walk. The sun's last rays of light reflected on her black, pointed nails, which mirrored the rest of her black outfit.
Kagome's pants were baggy and black, dragging to the floor. The bottoms were torn, but she didn't care. Bondage straps hung off of them and softly hit the back of her legs as she proceeded forward. She wore a black tank top that fit tight, but not so it looked trashy. That was one thing Kagome was far from, trashy.
Her raven hair fell to about her waist and it blew around her in the wind. Her eyes were an unusual color of dark, shadowy purple. Her skin was almost flawless, and spiked black bracelets were latched on to her wrist, as well as a black studded watch. A collar with a short chain hung from her neck.
Although Kagome was covered from head to foot in either black or red all the time, no one could help but notice that she was beautiful. No one however, was able to look past her clothes and her strange ways.
Kagome lurked in the dark corners of the world, always watching the others. She had one best friend named Sango. Though Sango did not dress the way she did, and was definitely happier and cheerier than Kagome, they were still the best of friends. No one would expect this to be. Sango was popular and everyone knew who she was. Sure, everyone knew Kagome's name too, but that was for a different reason entirely.
None the less, Sango wasn't here with her now. She was at one of the many parties she had been invited to. Kagome had been invited too, in fact, her friendship with Sango caused her to be invited to a lot of social thins, and she normally would go to them, but tonight? No, tonight was Friday the Thirteenth. To Kagome, it was the biggest holiday of all time.
There, at the graveyard she was going to, there would be many other people. These were people who understood her, people who were just like her. All of them together would join sources and do something great, just like every Friday the Thirteenth.
This day was always considered to be an out of the ordinary day. By all Wicca's like Kagome herself, it was a paranormal day. It was the day where you were most likely to change the fates. It was the day where you could change the world, or at least, your world, and that was exactly what Kagome intended to do.
She rounded the corner, slowing her pace so she had more time to think before she actually toyed with her life. She had intended to do this for a long time now; all she had been waiting for was the right night. Now that she had found a Friday the Thirteenth with a full moon and the perfect conditions for a big enchantment like this one, she was having second thoughts.
She contemplated the thought of change, trying to think of how this decision came to be. She knew that some part of her never wanted to think about what happened again, but she also knew that she needed to understand to settle on what she was going to do.

FLASHBACK

A seven year old Kagome walked into the darkened room, unable to see anything clearly. She heard a beautiful song playing softly in the back round, one she had heard often before, that her mother had sang to her.
She hummed the tune quietly as she walked forward, stumbling on things that were scattered about on the floor. She worked her way around the corners of the desk in the middle of the room, reaching the window.
Kagome slowly peeled back the curtains and let moonlight spill into the room. She turned around gradually to look at the now illuminated area, but instead of seeing the same old room she was used to, she saw something that would change her life forever.
Kagome's mother was sitting in the desk chair, the rest of her body sprawled out over the desk at strange and seemingly uncomfortable angles. One of her thin and delicate hands hung limp over the edge of the desk and Kagome proceeded towards it.
Kagome had goose bumps up and down her spine and the hairs on the back of her neck stood on end. Kagome reached for her mothers hand and took it into her own. However, she quickly let go. Her mother was deathly cold and Kagome knew just why.
The young girl became frantic and scared, looking around nervously not knowing what to do. Suddenly, she spied a note on the desk. It was written in her mother's handwriting. Kagome snatched it up, almost as if she was afraid that someone else would get it first. The letter was messy and hard to read, but Kagome managed.
"Dear Kagome," Kagome whispered the note out loud to herself. "I know you will find me here first. I'm sorry to have to do this to you. I never intended for it to happen, but it did. Please forgive me for leaving you. I know that that is a lot to ask from you, but please try. Let me explain why I did this. Your daddy is gone. He has finally left us forever. I'm sorry, I know you will miss him, but he did not love me, nor did he love you. Your brother hates me. He thinks I'm a whore and that I hate him too. I don't and you don't, but he thinks it to be true and there is nothing I can do about it. Three, I can't stand anymore let downs. I know you would have grown to do the same things as everyone else that I love and I can't take anymore people leaving me. So my precious little Kagome, go and find someone and tell them what happen, I don't want you to deal with this alone. Mommy loves you..."

FLASHBACK ENDS

And that was it. That was how her mother's goodbye letter had ended. "Mommy loves you..." Kagome thought about what had happened next. She had sprinted all the way to the police station and showed them the letter. Then the young Kagome had collapsed on the floor in hysterics, sobbing uncontrollably, shaking all over, and screaming at the top of her lungs.
'Yup Kagome, mommy loves you. That's all bull. She never loved me, if she had, she wouldn't have left me to fend for myself my entire life. Did she really think my low life brother was going to take care of me? Well he blew that plan. He hates me, and I hate him. He would rather see me starve.'
Kagome had made up her mind, which was all she needed. She ran at top speed to the graveyard, her comrades in sight. They were going to help her, for they knew her pain. They had empathy for her, just like she had for them. They all had empathy, not only for the people in their group of friends, but for the world. They cried for the world, they grieved for today and looked for tomorrow.
They gave Kagome her black velvet cloak as she walked through the rickety gate of the graveyard. She put it on and joined the circle where everyone stood waiting for her. Each of them pulled on their hoods as Kagome stepped in the middle.
All at once, it began. The sacred humming of the Wiccans filled the area of land. They all carried the same note and breathed at the same time. It was in this melodic energy, that their powers become one.
A dark blue glowing mist covered the graveyard. The leader of the Wiccan council that was here tonight spoke, and almost sung, to Kagome. "Kagome, you have asked us her tonight, to help you with the most powerful wish spell we can conjure. What is it that you desire?"
Kagome looked up to the full moon and let all off its beautiful light shine on her like a spotlight. It washed over her and the wind blew her hair lightly. Kagome answered her leader in an equally harmonious voice.
"I just want something, or someone, that could change my life, and help me through, and take my strife, my pain, my past, away." Kagome hummed a sorrowful tune, and the rest of the council repeated it. They sang together until the mist lifted and the enchantment was complete.
Kagome sighed and sank to her knees. Everyone bowed to her and disappeared into the shadows of the night. The spell had taking so much of her energy that she could hardly move. She managed to get back to Sango's where she had stayed since she had met her, and collapse into her bed. Kagome drifted off into a dreamless sleep, waiting to see a change in the days to come.

Okay, so that's it for today. Tell me what you think... please? I like reviews but I don't get them that much. Sad, ne? So make me happy, REVIEW!
