Sakura blossoms fell from every direction, and the girl walking amongst the falling pink petals made the scene look ethereal.

The eight year old looked up, and smiled happily at the beautiful petals that just seemed to fall down from the sky as Kami's blessing.

For always she had loved the pink petals that always fell on her nose when she looks up. She admired the strong build of the sakura trees, and she absolutely adored the soft feel of the petals when she rubbed it against her fingers.

She walked around the elementary school until she rounded upon a random tree. She looked up and sighed in contentment as the soft petals tickled her face.

I wish life could be like this forever, then I would never have to grow up.

The school evacuated quickly, but she blocked out all sounds of the outside world as she look up at the tree, as if she was in a trance.

She kneeled down, and picked up a handful of fallen sakura petals and threw them up in the air.

She watched them as they fall like the most beautiful butterflies. Fluttering down until they touched the ground along with the others, graceful as doves.

Now her head was covered by the pink petals and she shook her head, clearing them of them temporarily until she was once again attacked.

The constant fall of the blossoms blocked her from the view of other people, and she loved it that way. It made her feel so at peace. And it makes her forget all her troubles.

Everything is just like a dream, I feel I'm in paradise.

Suddenly, she caught something silver from the corner of her eye, and she immediately turned to confirm her theory of what it might be.

"Sesshoumaru!" She yelled suddenly, running up to the silver haired boy.

"Kagome," he nodded in acknowledge as he turned around to face her.

The stare that he gave her would have sent any other running, but she just giggled in happiness at his mere attention.

Why are you so different than the rest of them?

His long silver hair flew in the wind, the strands glistening magically as it fluttered. His pale face showed nothing, such was not healthy for a twelve year old. With his appearance, he looked so much older than he really was.

But that was who he was, and she liked him that way. Although maybe she would have liked it better if he was different, she didn't want to force him to do anything. She already got used to him by now anyway.

And the events that had caused him to be this way was unavoidable, no one can escape death.

It was morning, but it was dark outside. Rain clouds covered the sky, and, for a moment, the rain did not come. But only for a moment, then they came crashing down upon the earth.

Sesshoumaru sat at his bed, his eyes was covered by his silver bangs as hot tears traveled down his young face.

He had lost his mother.

A bird's loud chirp brought him out of his reverie, and he brought his head up roughly, showing his whole face.

Magenta stripes lined his cheeks and wrists, and a blue crescent moon was situated at his forehead.

But mostly, it was his eyes. His pupils were lost in the blood red orbs that had once been his warm honey orbs.

The young boy just stood there, and continued to cry silently.

An image of his mother appeared into his head and his tears suddenly ceased.

'I will be strong mama, I will be strong for you.'

He wiped away all his tears angrily, and promised himself that he will never again cry for anything nor anyone.

'I have to be strong to survive in this world.'

His father had remarried, and at first he was so angry that he did not talk to anyone for at least a month, but that soon toned down when his father's new mate, Izayoi, was able to endure his silent treatment.

Two years later, he was almost just as attached to Izayoi as he was with his own mother. But he still despised his one year old half-brother.

He was a hanyou. Disgusting creature.

You're the only one that's ever accepted me for who I truly am.

So don't ever leave me, I can't imagine a world without you.

Kagome sat on a tall stool beside the table that held the phone. She twirled the phone line around her fingers continuously as she listened to the phone ring.

Finally, someone picked up and all she heard was silence. She immediately knew who it was.

"Sesshoumaru! Hi it's Kagome!" Kagome said happily, a smile gracing her lips unconsciously.

How is it that you know me so well?

Another silence was heard and Kagome took that as consent to continue, not that she needed it.

"Mama said I should go out to get some exercise, and I just want to ask you to come with me to the park," she started, "can you come?"

"Yes, why not?" He finally said.

"Ok! Just come to my house! Be here in five minutes! Bye!" With that she hung up before he could say anything, not that he would have.

Sometimes I think that you know more about me than me myself...

They walked down the road that led to the park in comfortable silence.

When they reached their destination, they found it completely deserted, but that had never bothered them.

Being with you is more than enough.

Kagome quickly ran down to one of the swings and attempted to swing, but she only got as high...

"Sesshou! Push me!" She called out after a while, he was probably getting bored sitting on one of the park benches by himself anyway.

He ignored the nickname, and went over to her laughing figure hesitantly, before softly pushing her.

"Wee!" Kagome cried out, and giggled.

After a while, Sesshoumaru found himself pushing her with more strength, and Kagome cried out in happiness. Her other friends were all too weak to do that for her.

Thinking of her friends, Kagome realized that she didn't have a best friend. Who was her best friend? Was it Sesshoumaru?

She immediately turned her gaze to him, and he began to slow down.

"Sesshoumaru," she began, "do you... Consider us best friends."

She felt his hesitation, and for a while, he seemed to forget to push her, but the strong pair of arms came back.

"Yes," was his usual simple single-worded reply.

That brought a broad smile to her face and she beamed at him.

Everything you say seems to make me content.

"Really? Do you think we'll be best friends forever?" She asked.

"Yes," he said, hesitating again.

"Forever and ever? You promise?"

"Promise."

This was said with confidence and no hesitation at all.

---

Life seems so perfect right now, and I don't want it to ever change.

I'll never forget.

End Prologue

Author's Note:

Unspoken's revision is finally out! I hope I did okay. The awkward thing is that I did the prologue after the second chapter (I count the prologue as the first chapter).

Please, read and review. I will appreciate it.

Note:

The prologue is really short, I know, but I promise the second chapter will be longer. And I sort of 'cheated' on the prologue, I used some lines of the original Unspoken that I wrote. But chapter two has absolutely nothing to do with the original one (well, you know what I mean)!

Next Chapter:

Chapter II: Memories

Featured Characters: Kagome, Sesshoumaru, Sango, Miroku.
