*Chapter Recap
A few minutes later they broke away to catch their breath. Pulling Kagome against his chest he buried his nose into her hair taking in the scent of her shampoo. Whispering softly to her, “Thank you Kagome.” *
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After sitting with Kagome in his arms for a while, Inuyasha decided that he wanted to show her something that he had never shared with another living person. He wanted Kagome to learn more about him. So standing up with Kagome in his arms he said “I want to show you something Kagome. You will be the first person that I have ever shown this place to. Not even Myoga knows about the secret place that I want to show you.” Inuyasha said smiling down at the young miko in his arms. “Ok Inuyasha. Though do you mind putting me down I can walk you know.” Kagome said looking up at him.

“Don’t think so Kagome.” Inuyasha said with a smile as he pulled her closer to his chest. “It’s would be faster if I carried you. It’s too far away for walking distance for you.” Feeling defeated Kagome gave into her hanyo’s request to carry her to this important spot that he wanted to show her. “Ok Inuyasha. So where are we going?”

“Oh you will see. I don’t want to ruin it by telling you where we are going. Just hold on. You can rest if you want; I will let you know when we get there.” Inuyasha said blushing a little as he moved the girl’s arms around his neck that she would hold on tight. After making sure that she was ready Inuyasha took to the tops of the trees. Jumping from one branch to another.

Kagome watched as they passed over Kaede’s village. Kagome thought to herself ‘The scenery just keeps flying by. Did we just pass over the demon wolf tribes dens?’ Resting her head against Inuyasha’s chest Kagome fell into a content sleep. Looking down seeing that his future mate had fallen asleep Inuyasha smiled to himself. ‘She looks so content sleeping there. I hope she doesn’t think that I am weird for showing her mom’s grave. It has just been so long since I was last there that I wanted to bring Kagome with me this time. That way she could see where mom was buried. Mom is the only one that Kagome hasn’t met or really even seen the grave for. I really hope that she doesn’t mind. Maybe I will even show her the cave where I spent some of the time living out of when I was little before I moved to the forest outside of Kikyo’s village. I guess I need to talk to her about yokai mating so that she understands what she is getting herself into also.’

~Later on~
Looking up from watching Kagome, Inuyasha came to a stop. Looking around at his surrounding he thought to himself ‘Oh shit. How in the world did I end up here? I have gone to far how did I miss the spot where I need to change the direction that I was headed.’ Looking down at Kagome as she stirred awake. ‘That right I was thinking about her wasn’t I?’

Waking up a little more Kagome looked out over the land. Nothing looked familiar to Kagome. Turning her eyes up to Inuyasha she asked “Are we here Inuyasha?” stretching a little in his arms. “Huh, what? Oh no. I over shot our destination by about 30 or so miles. So it will be a little longer.” Inuyasha said blushing about his mistake for not paying closer attention to where he was headed. “Oh ok. Is a least within walking distance from here? Because I know I not the lightest thing for you to carry.”

Laughing at her comment Inuyasha nuzzled against the side of Kagome face. “No. It is still pretty far way since I over shot where I wanted to change directions. As for your weight you are nothing.” Kissing her cheek. “Though I can show you about where we are going from here if you want.” Looking up at Inuyasha “Really? Please show me.”

Smiling at Kagome, Inuyasha pointed out into the distance “You see that blue space out there?” Turning to see what he was pointing at. “What the sea?” Dropping his gaze back to hers he gave her a look that read your kidding me right. Sighing “No it not the sea Kagome. That’s a lake. We are no where near the sea. Just past that lake is where we are going. This is about the area where I was born and raised by my mom.”

Tightening his arms around Kagome again. Inuyasha took off for the next treetop. Moving swiftly across the land. About 15 minutes later he reached a clearing near where is mother was buried. Landing effortlessly on the ground he set Kagome’s feet on the ground. Kissing Kagome, Inuyasha said. “It just up a head, about 30 feet or so. Do you trust me Kagome?” Looking up at him, “Oh coarse I trust you Inuyasha. I trust you with my whole heart.” Smiling at her answer he took her hand and said, “Good. I want you to close your eyes. Okay? Don’t worry I won’t let go of you hand. Okay?”

Feeling a little unsure about it Kagome didn’t know if she should do it or not. Though a little voice in the back of her mind kept saying over and over to her, ‘Just do it Kagome. He has always had your best interest at heart when he tells you to do something. Don’t start out a new life with him by not trusting in him with this.’ Reluntly Kagome closed her eyes and nodded to Inuyasha that she was ready to go.

Squeezing Kagome’s hand to let her know that he still had it. Inuyasha walked with her down a small shaded path. Glancing over his shoulder every once in a while to make sure that Kagome still had her eyes closed.

Inuyasha walked with Kagome a few more feet before he spotted the tree that he was searching for. It was a beautiful weeping willow tree. It stood in the middle of the small clearing as the only thing. Inuyasha smiled seeing that the tree and the area had not been touched since he was here last, and he was glad that it hadn’t been touch by anyone. This was his special place and he only wanted to share it with one other person.

Pulling Kagome closer to him Inuyasha whispered in her ear, “Open your eyes Kagome we’re here.” Wrapping his arms around her. Kagome slowly opened her eyes and gasped softly. “Oh Inuyasha it’s beautiful. But why did we come way out here? I don’t think you just wanted to show me the tree now did you?” Looking back slightly over her shoulder at her soon to be mate. Laughing Inuyasha replied “You know everything. Your right I didn’t bring you out here just to look at the tree. There is something special about this area I wanted to tell you about, and I felt that bringing you here to talk about it would better. That way we will not be disturbed by anyone.” Sitting down on the ground pulling Kagome with him.

Letting Inuyasha pull her down to ground. Kagome leaned back against Inuyasha’s chest. Looking at him she could tell that he was remembering something. “Are you alright Inuyasha? Is something bothering you?” Looking down at the young miko, “Huh? Oh no, Just thinking about the best way tell you about this place.” Smiling Kagome said, “Well I find it easier to start at the beginning of things. It makes it a lot easier to remember then.”
Resting his head on Kagome’s shoulder Inuyasha sighed laughing a little. “You know you are too good to me Kagome. But anyways I guess starting at the beginning would be the best place to begin. It all starts with a story that my mom uses to tell me when I was little.”

~FLASHBACK~ (a/n-Inuyasha is about two/three at the start of the flashback and four when it ends)
Laughing at her sons antics while she was trying to give him a bath. Lady Izayoi spoke to her son “Now Inuyasha please stop moving around so much. You are getting me all wet and if your not careful you will get water in your ears.” Holding a towel up to shield most of the splashes that Inuyasha was creating by playing. Sensing that his mother was not at all pleased with him, Inuyasha stopped play around in the water turning to look at his mom with sad puppy eyes. He said “I sorry mama.”

“That quite all right Inuyasha. Just hold still I am almost done.” Washing the last of the soap from her son’s hair. Izayoi stood up with towel in hand. Wrapping it tightly around him she lifted him from the bath and carried him back to the room that they shared. Working on drying Inuyasha off Izayoi asked Inuyasha a question. “Would you like to hear a story Inuyasha?” Inuyasha’s ears perked up at the word story. Turning around to look at his mom “Oh please tell me mama. Please tell me a story.” Laughing Izayoi gave into her son’s request. “Alright but lets get you dress for bed first.” Helping her son to get dressed again Izayoi tucked him into bed. She knew that tonight was going to be long sorrowful night. For it was the of the new moon. A night that Inuyasha hated the most. It was so painful for a child barely three years old to have to suffer through such a painful transformation once a month. Izayoi thought to her self, ‘Thank Kimi that he only has to go through this once a month.’ Izayoi layed down next to her son and slow rubbed his back as the sun started to sink low into the sky.

With tears shining in her eyes watching her son fight back crying out in pain Izayoi started in on her story. “This is a story about how the weeping willow got its name Inuyasha.” Inuyasha turned his head a little so that he could watch him mom tell him the story. He remember a while back when he had asked his mom what type of tree she like she had responded by saying a weeping willow. Inuyasha never really had understood her answered but figured that he would find out tonight.

"Once upon a time ago there was a young man who came a calling on a maiden. They courted one another and fell in love. They always courted under a tree. He was so in love with her that he wanted it to last forever. He decided to go and look for the Holy Mirror so their love could last forever. He went off and started searching and left his maiden behind. She was so taken by him and missed him when he left to find the Holy Mirror. When she started missing him, she would go sit under the willow tree where they fell in love and cry for him to return to her. The young man vowed not to return to her until he his quest was complete. Every once and a while, he would return to the tree and lay a flower there for her to find to remind her of him. She would go to the tree and wail into the night of a broken heart crying for her true love to return to her. She soon just cried herself to death. Okaasan Yo came and saw her body surrounded by all her tears. She wanted to honor the maiden for her devotion to her true love. She took her spirit and filled the tree and the leaves and branches. Then the tree began to weep. Some say that when you stand under a Weeping Willow on the right type of night, you will hear her wailing for her true love.”

Looking at his mom Inuyasha asked “Is that why you like the willow tree mama?” Smiling down at her son, “Yes Inuyasha. When I was your age that was my favorite story. There is also a willow tree not to far from here. But there is another reason why like the willow tree.” Lifting his head up a little from the mat Inuyasha looked at his mom wide eyed. “I’ll take that look as that you would like to know the other reason dear?” Nodding his head several times Inuyasha looked at his mom waiting for the answer. ‘She never shared this with me.’ “Well the other reason is because that is where I met your father.” Settling back down on the mat Inuyasha slowly let his eyes close. Moving closer to his mom he said. “I love you mommy.” Smiling down at Inuyasha wrapping a protective arm around him to let him know that she was there and not going anywhere she whispered back to him, “I love you too Inuyasha, my precious son.” Leaning over him, Izayoi placed a soft kiss on his forehead before allowing her self to fall asleep.

*1 year later* (a/n- This is still part of Inuyasha’s flashback)
“Hold on Inuyasha, we are almost there.” Izayoi said tightening her grip on her four year old son’s hand as they walked to her favorite spot. “Come on mama. I can smell the tree from here. Come on.” Inuyasha said pulling on his arm to get his mother to walk faster. Laughing at her son’s excitement Izayoi started to move a little faster. “Come on Inuyasha it’s not going to walk away. Slow down darling your mother can’t keep up with you.” Stopping Inuyasha looked up at his mother with a very confused four year old face. “You mean trees can walk!”
“No silly trees can’t walk. It is a way of saying to take it easy, what you going for will still be there no matter how long it takes you to reach it.” Coming to the clearing where the willow tree stood that held so many memories for Izayoi, she loosened her grip on her son’s hand letting him roam around the area. Knowing that he was perfectly safe here, Izayoi sat down to the ground. She had decided to bring Inuyasha out here today to get him out of the village. She didn’t want him to get hurt, by anyone in the village. As of late the villagers had been talking about Inuyasha behind both of their back. The only reason she even knew is because her four year old had asked her what it ment when the villagers said that she had sold her soul and that he was filthy and tainted. She thought back to Inuyasha’s exact words that day. “Mama why are those men over there saying all those bad things about us?” “What do you mean Inuyasha” “Well they are saying that you sold your soul to father and that I am filthy and t-t-tainted. I don’t get it. I just got a bath how could I be filthy already I haven’t been outside to play yet.” “Don’t worry about it Inuyasha they are bad, bad people. Remember this Inuyasha, Great minds talk about ideas, average minds talk about events, and small minds talk about people. Those people have small mind if they can’t find anything other then us to talk about.”

Looking up Izayoi noticed that Inuyasha had stopped in the middle of the clearing and was staring in the direction of a few trees that surrounded that clearing. Standing up Izayoi walked over to stand next to her son. She rested a hand on Inuyasha saying “Inuyasha Takahashi! You know better then to growl I am raising a boy not a puppy. That is enough!” Immediately stopping when his mother used his first name and his father’s family name, Inuyasha quickly looked down ashamed of what he had just done. “Sorry mama. I just sense something that is kind of like Myoga by a whole lot bigger.” Looking into the direction that Inuyasha had been growling in Izayoi said in a loud clear voice. “As you can see you have been discovered by my son Inuyasha second son to the late Inutaishou Lord of the Western Lands. Show your selves now!”

Emerging from behind the trees. Six Inu yokai approached Inuyasha and his mother. Izayoi knew them to be some of Inutaishou supporters, she her self had only met them once, and that was because Inutaishou had taken her to his home to introduce her to the rest of the clan. Needless to say that trip was less the enjoyable for Izayoi. Stopping a good distance from them both they dropped to their knees addressing both mother and son. “Forgive our trespassing Young Lord Inuyasha and Lady Izayoi, son and mate to the late Inutaishou. But we request a private audience with you Lady Izayoi.”

“It can wait I am here with my son right now.”
“No my Lady this can not wait.” Izayoi heard a voice but could not tell where it had come from. “Who said that? Show your self.” Inuyasha looked up at his mom a little worried because he hadn’t heard something that she had.
“It is I Myoga the flea demon. I have faithfully severed the Takahashi clan for centuries. It is very important that you speak with them. Don’t worry they won’t hurt you. Their bark is worst then their bite. Don’t worry about Inuyasha I will take care of him. Just tell him to go play under the willow tree that way you are out of ear shot of the boy and he will not be able hear what is being discussed.” Myoga left Izayoi’s shoulder and landed on Inuyasha’s.

Kneeling down so that she was eye level with her son, Izayoi said, “Inuyasha sweetheart, why don’t you go play under the willow tree branches. I need to have a talk with your daddy’s friends. I’ll come get you when I am done talking. Myoga is on your shoulder I am sure that he will play with you or maybe you can even talk him into telling you a story.” Inuyasha dug his foot into the ground looking at his mom. “Alright mama, I’ll go.” Inuyasha sent a glare in the direction of the other Inu yokai’s that read don’t mess with my mama or I’ll get you for it. Turning away Inuyasha walked under the willow tree to sit and talk with Myoga. He thought to him self. ‘maybe I can get him to tell me more about my father.’

~END OF FLASHBACK~
Looking down at Kagome, Inuyasha hugged Kagome closer to him. Fighting back the tears he said, “And that is the last happy memory that I have of my mom. When we got back to the village later that afternoon those villager killed her. They killed my mom right there in front of me.” Letting the tears fall down his face. “How could they do that? They stabbed her repeatedly with any sharp object that they found lying around saying that she should have killed herself other then to have let some yokai touch her. They also said that she should have killed herself or cut me from her when she discovered that she was pregnant. They just turned on her and when they were done they turned on me and tried to kill me but I ran. I ran away and left my mom lying there dying. The only thoughts going through my mind was run away and try and find those yokai friends of my father’s. But even they to turned on mom and me. Saying that I had dirtied the powerful yokai bloodline by having a human mother. They chased me too….” Pulling Kagome even closer to him. Inuyasha hung onto Kagome as if she was his lifeline out of the pain of remembering.

Turning slowly in Inuyasha’s arms Kagome threw her arms around the hanyo who she loved so much. Holding him close to her letting him cry on her shoulder Kagome softly whispered, “I am sorry Inuyasha.” Kagome wasn’t sure what else she could really say to Inuyasha at that moment. She had never had a parent or someone close to her murdered. Sure she had been there with Inuyasha after Kikyo had died but even then she had on idea on what to say. Kagome had just been glad that Kikyo’s soul had finally found peace. So she just sat there holding Inuyasha as he cried. “He must have wanted to cry about this for a long time but his pride wouldn’t let him. I guess I have really changed him. I hope I changed him for the better though.”

After several minutes had passed and the tears that Inuyasha cried had subsided. Inuyasha looked into that face of his beloved seeing that her eyes reflected the pain of his memories he hugged her tighter, “I am sorry Kagome. This was supposed to be a happy day for us and look at me sitting here with you in this beautiful place crying my eyes out.” Inuyasha said sitting back from Kagome wiping away that the remaining tears with edge of his sleeve.

“That is quite all right Inuyasha. You looked like you needed it. Plus there will be many more happy days to come. Everyone needs time to sad and cry, even you.” Leaning forward Kagome placed a soft kiss on Inuyasha’s nose.

Standing up Inuyasha reached down to help Kagome to stand. “Come on there is something I want to show you Kagome.” Leading Kagome to the willow tree Inuyasha pulled back the branches of the tree. Stepping inside he pull Kagome to him. Looking up through the tree branches to the sky Inuyasha said, “Those memories that I told you about are not the real reason why place is so special to me Kagome. I mean they are but it is not the whole reason.” Resting his gaze on her Inuyasha took Kagome by the hand a lead her a little ways around the tree trunk. He stopped when he came upon a grave marker. “Remember how I said that the willow was mom’s favorite tree?” Looking down at the grave marker and back to Inuyasha, Kagome nodded. Kneeling down in front of grave Inuyasha knocked away some of the dead leaves and weeds from around the marker. “Well after those villagers killed my mom they wanted to burn her body so that on other demon of any kind could desecrate her. I had just made it back to the tree line of the village when I heard my grandfather’s voice; I could also smell the salt from my mothers and grandmothers tears. I jumped into a tree to get a better look. I knew that if I even tried to walk into that village I would have been killed on the spot with no remorse. My grandparents didn’t exactly really love me like your grandfather loves you Kagome. They tolerated me only because mom was their only child and they didn’t her to run away from them to raise me. I was completely cut off as a child from everyone but my mother. As I looked out over the sceen I saw my mother there lying lifeless in my grandmother’s arm. My Grandfather had his arms out stretched in front of him as he shielded my mother and grandmother. He was holding the villager off from taking mom to burning her. He claimed that no matter what she had done or what she had mothered she was still a member of the village and the way that she died was very cruel. He said that she deserved a proper burial that the village gives to everyone. Not to have her body burned as some kind of gross display for what was in store for the other daughters of the village if they did not heed the words of the elders.” Kagome knelt down next to Inuyasha. Looking at the marker she saw the name ‘Izayoi, beloved daughter, and mother. May you find peace at last.’ Looking to Inuyasha, Kagome placed a hand on Inuyasha’s. Drawing his attention to her Kagome asked, “But I don’t understand Inuyasha. How did she come to be buried here?”

Sighing Inuyasha said, “Grandfather asked for the same consideration that they gave to the others but when no one would help. He and Grandmother packed up everything. They took it all. My mother’s things, the few things that were mine, everything that they owned and my mother’s body and left the village to look for somewhere else to live. To this day I still don’t know where they moved to after they buried my mom. Their scent died off a few years later so I wasn’t able to find them. But as they were traveling Grandmother remembered mom telling her how she loved the story of the willow. She told Grandfather that was where she felt that mom would have wanted to be buried. Only I knew the real reason behind why she would have wanted to be buried there. It was as she told me when I was just a small pup. ‘It was where I met you father and when it is time for me to leave I know that he will be waiting at that vary spot for me.’ I stayed very close to the cart when they entered the woods. I guess you could say that I was kind of glad that they were honoring mom by burring her here. Between the two of them they dug this grave and layed my mom to rest here. It took them two days to complete the task and another two to leave. I wanted to go near them and be comforted by the only family I had left but I knew I couldn’t I wouldn’t be able to get within 20 feet of them without getting hurt. So I sat up in the branches of the tree silently crying to myself. But while they were digging and burring mom I would sneak up to the cart careful not to spook the horse and slow move things off of the cart. Small things of course. Like my toys and two small trunks of my mom’s. One had the blankets that we would sleep under and the other had a few of her clothes that she wore when it was just the two of us. She said that the clothes that she put in that trunk were clothes that she had worn around dad too. I could smell hers and what I thought must have been dad’s scents over the whole trunk. Even if my grandparents hated me, I couldn’t let them travel as far as they wanted carrying those things. Any yokai would have jumped them because of the scent of my father. After the fourth day I returned to the clearing to find that my grandparents were gone. They must have packed up everything in the morning light and left. That is when I truly realized that I was alone in the world. I ran under here and threw my self down on top of my mother’s grave crying my eyes out praying to whatever god would hear me to bring my mother back but nothing happened. I layed there until well after dark that day crying for her to come back.”

Feeling Kagome squeeze his hand harder Inuyasha looked over at her. Throwing her arms around him Kagome cried on his shoulder. Her heart reaching out to him, “Oh Inuyasha I am sorry I had no idea. What a hard way to grow up. I promise you that I will never leave you. I will always be by your side until the day that you leave this world.”

Wrapping his arms around Kagome, Inuyasha nuzzled his face against Kagome’s. Pulling back a little from her, Inuyasha kissed way her tears. “Thank-you Kagome, and I promise you that no matter what I will never leave your side, ever.” Turning his attention back to his mother’s grave. Inuyasha said. “I saw your mom do this once when I was in your era. I was sitting on the roof of your house waiting for you to come home from that school of yours when I heard your mom out back of the house. She was sitting in front of a grave marker just talking to it. She was telling it everything like how you were doing, how Sota was, how your grandfather was, and then she started to talk about me. I thought that I was the one who could sit and talk to a grave maker for hours on end telling it everything I wanted my mom to know.”

Looking over at Inuyasha, Kagome replied, “It must have been my father’s grave. Mom has been doing that for years. She goes out there on the day that is his birthday and the day that he died. She says that she likes to keep dad in the loop on what is going on in our lives.” “Oh would you mind if I-…if I-” Looking into Kagome’s eyes. “Go right a head Inuyasha. I will give you some privacy.” Kagome said starting to stand up. Reaching out for her hand Inuyasha stopped Kagome. “No I want you here next to me. I promise I won’t be long. I just think that mom might be tiring of just me coming to see her and talk to her. I think she would be happy to have you stay here with me.” Sitting back down Kagome said, “Alright Inuyasha. I’ll stay, but when your done I would like some alone time to talk to your mother too.” Nodding at her request Inuyasha released Kagome’s hand turning back to his mother’s grave.

“Mom there is someone I want you to meet.” Taking hold of Kagome’s hand, Inuyasha brought Kagome closer to him. “This is Kagome mama. Like I told you mama I promise that if I ever found anyone who could make me smile and feel like you made me feel I would bring her here to meet you. Well I have mom. Kagome is that girl that I have been telling you about the last two years. She makes everyday that I am with her brighter, Even if we fight with each other.” Inuyasha laughed at that last part knowing it was true. Squeezing Kagome’s hand Inuyasha continued, “I also asked her to be my mate. She completes me mom. She has filled the void that was created when you died. I have found my missing piece to my heart. I wished that you would have had a chance to meet her mom. I know that you would have just loved her. In a lot of ways she is just like you. She accepts me for who I am. She doesn’t want me to be anything but what I am. She could care less that I am only a half-bred. She loves me for me, and I love her for who she is and what she has done to break down the wall that I put up around my heart when you died. She has made me a better person in the end mom.”

Kagome and Inuyasha sat in silences for a few minutes. Inuyasha deicide to let Kagome have some alone time with his mom. For what reason she wanted to be alone with his mom Inuyasha wasn’t sure. But he squeezed Kagome’s hand and stood up. Kagome looked up at Inuyasha. Inuyasha smiled down at Kagome and pointed to just off the side from where he was standing and said, “When you are done, just go through those branches. A few feet from the tree is a path take it. It is a gentle path. You will be able to walk down it easily. At the end is a stream. I’ll be waiting for you there. It’s really not that far away. You will be safe on the path. The tree is with scream distance of the stream. If you need me just yell and I will come right back. Alright Kagome?”

“Sure Inuyasha. But are you sure you want to go that far away?” Smiling at Kagome, “Yeah, I figure what ever you want to say to my mom you want only her to hear, and I use to get into trouble with her for as she put it ‘Sticking my ears where they didn’t belong.’ Of course she also said that dad use to do that too. So I am not quiet sure if she was ever really mad at me when I did it. But anyways I don’t feel that I should listen in to whatever it is that you want to tell her.” Bending over Inuyasha place a kiss on top of Kagome’s head before walking off in the direction of the stream.
********************************************************


I am going to end this chapter here. This chapter was very hard to write. As you saw it got kind of dark and angstist towards the middle. It was very hard for me to write this chapter. I wasn’t sure at first how I was going present this chapter. But once I figured out where I wanted to go with this Inuyasha kind of wrote what he wanted to say. I guess I wanted to reflect a side of Inuyasha that the anime barely touches on. (I am not sure about the manga though) I wanted to show a softer side of Inuyasha. And this is what I got an Inuyasha who doesn’t understand really why the village turned on him and his mom.

The next chapter will have a small (very small) portion where you see Kagome talking to Inuyasha’s mother grave. But it will mainly deal with Inuyasha talking to Kagome about yokai mating. So unfortunately I am going to be bumping the story up to Teen for the third chapter and maybe to M for all future chapters after that.

Also in the story when Izayoi is telling Inuyasha the story of the willow tree. I just wanted to let you know that it is a really story, and that the name Okaasan Yo is Japanese for Mother Nature (I took some liberties with using that name.)


The next chapters is where it should start being closer to R. This is my frist time writing something like this so please be nice to me. Let me know what I can do to imporve this story. I welcome all ideas.
