One Thousand Words by Striking Falcon

Chapter One

Chapter One

Choose wisely my dear, because there is no turning back.

Could she honestly say that she heeded this advice, wisely spoken by a woman she respected?

Could she honestly argue that, after hearing the tragic tale of the houshi and his brother, she had stopped to think about the consequences of her actions?

. . .That she could be permanently disfigured?

. . .That the method could leave her in a homicidal rage, where she would then mindlessly slaughter all those she loved dear?

. . .That she may never be accepted in the world beyond the well, her home, again?

No.

She honestly had not.

She thought with her heart, like always, and now look where it got her. . .

Collared like a rabid cur . . .

Her eyes, once a deep sapphire blue, now resembled silver coins with golden rings. . .

She was a monster now.

Just like Naraku.

(Chapter End)

SF: Hi!

Inu-cha: Girl where have you been?!  It’s been at least a year and a half!  Stories haven’t been completed, you got people hanging and you come out with this piece of garbage!?  Why I oughta-

Kagome: SIT!

WHAM!!

SF: Inu-chan is right.  It has been a really long time and I am very sorry for it.  This past year and a half has been extremely busy.  The last time you guys saw me I had just got married-

Inu-chan: Poor bastard!

Kagome: *sigh* Sit!

BAM!

Kagome: Go ahead SF-sama.

SF: Well, life has completely taken over.  I have two nephews now, my husband’s on deployment, and I’m going to school.  That’s right, I’m trying to better myself and I haven’t had a lot of time to write.  I still don’t honestly and a lot of the other stories are stuck behind writer’s block.   This story, which is a continuation of 1000, is the only one that the plot bunnies are reproducing for.  So sorry and I totally understand if I do not receive a single review for it.   I’m just glad to be back, on stage, where my people are.  Updates will be sporadic.
