Hello I'm Tori Lea but call me VG. This is my first posted story so please give me some feedback because I really do listen.

After Chapter 1

Life is a scary place. So you need friends…family…love. And when the world you build comes crashing down what do you do? Who do you turn to, a teacher…counselor, friend, dog, a…razor? I never thought I would even have to think about these things. Well when I moved back to Tokyo, which I was excited about, my father, mother, and brother died because of a drunk driver. They left me with a whole in my heart and a great dane that eats way too much. So now I live alone in THAT house. Paying bills with the money they left behind…which tears me apart…my soul is gone…my heart forgotten…and my brain on auto pilot. This is my life…after…Now that you know me

HI! My name is Kagome Higurashi! And I am happy…on the outside…

And you want to know who heals me…him…

I walked down the hallway not noticing anyone. This was my life anyways. I was going to go to college and become a police officer so I could protect people and bring the bad guys to a just end. Until then I was a husk.

I walked into band and saw him. He was amazing. He had a set jaw, knowing amber eyes, broad shoulders, a lean but built form, tall around 6'3", and had glasses…sexy, reading glasses. This man wasn't even human…more like half but his still had some sexy demon in him. You could tell by his white hair and the most adorable puppy dog ears I had ever seen. He also wore converse, or vans, which I love. You want to know the problem…he is the new student teacher. Add another disaster to my list right? Right! I am 18 and he is 20…to tell the truth he went here…and age had been good to InuYasha Takahashi or Mr. Takahashi. He also played the trombone like me so he helped me a lot or tried because I will do is watch his mouth. He was the last thing in my life that hinted at me being a teenage girl.

I sat without a glance at anyone. I just couldn't look at anyone because if I looked at a friend I would see them dieing like my family or me losing them. I sat my things next to the chair I sat in and headed for the lockers.

"I think we need to get you some hearing aids Miss Kagome." I heard someone say behind me. I looked back to find InuYasha, that is what the class calls him Mr. InuYasha but more commonly Mr. Inu because we all know him or of him.

"Sure whatever…how can I help you Mr. Takahashi?" I said turning around advancing toward the wall filled with interments.

"At least read the board Kagome." He said annoyed and I heard him walk off to the front of the room. I heard snickering behind me. I turned and shoot the clarinets a death glare which they all knew I could back up.

"Yo Barbies, Paris wants her fake tan back." Sango, the only cool woodwind, defended me. The girls sauntered over to Mr. Inu, "You know I love my half-bro but he needs to get ugly if he wants to become a teacher."

"…So you are saying that I was ugly?"

"Hey! The girl talks!! Call the press!" Sango said with a knowing smile.. I rolled my eyes and looked over to the board. Yay…an assembly…whoopee.

"Why aren't we playing? We are seniors?" I asked confused.

"Remember last year we had to play…" Sango continued but I didn't hear. Then she covered her mouth which snapped me out of the blackness, "Kag…I am SO sorry. I forgot…Kagome please…"

"We should go…sit next to me," I said pulling her as the class left. That was when I was pulled away from her by my chorus teacher.

"You remember that you're singing right?"

"Sure whatever." I said shrugging.

"What are you singing!?"

"…They have the music." I said raising a hand over my head to reassure him, which didn't work I guess.

As I entered the gym I pulled my sweatshirt over my head luckily I had worn my schools colors. I was handed a mic by some junior who walked off. I walked over to Jeff the husband of some Math teacher I hadn't had. I handed him the hoodie and pointed to the CD on top.

"Tracks 1 and 6 for today," I said walking out to sit in the seats, but was soon up to sing the National Anthem which I sung with the band.

"So how is everyone?!" I asked coming to the center. I heard cheering, "Wow you all sound like you're bored. COME ON! We are missing class! Let me hear you scream!" This earned me hollers and chanting of something I think 'Rams'.

"I saw him dancin' there by the record machine
I knew he must a been about seventeen
The beat was goin strong
Playin my favorite song
An I could tell it wouldn't be long
Till he was with me, yeah me, singin
Till he was with me, yeah me, singin
I love rock n roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock n roll
So come an take your time an dance with me
He smiled so I got up and asked for his name
That don't matter, he said,
cause its all the same
Said can I take you home where we can be alone
An next we were movin on
He was with me, yeah me
Next we were movin on
He was with me, yeah me, singin
I love rock n roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock n roll
So come an take your time an dance with me
Said can I take you home where we can be alone
An well be movin on
An singin that same old song
Yeah with me, singin
I love rock n roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock n roll
So come an take your time an dance with me (7x)"

I sung with the rest of the gym. I rolled my eyes remembering me and my dad singing in the car and annoying Mom. But I loved this feeling of performing in front of everyone…it's the only time I feel normal again.

"I'll hand it over to our principal to tell us why we are here," I said as I walked over to Mr. Yamamoto. I headed over to Sango but couldn't find her then the soccer teams entered. I saw her looking all proud which she should because she made the girls team awesome.

I took the open seat next to some girls who were swooning over InuYasha. I looked over at him and he was smiling at his sister. At least he was a good big bro...well at least half. I have known him as long as Sango…well actually longer. I had him in chorus. We got paired to do a duet back when I was a 7th grader. I then met Sango when she went off on him for not walking with her, he couldn't drive only being in 9th grade. Lets say that Sango and I are the same person…my twin…my sister…my family. She literally kept me alive same with InuYasha. I owe them so much…I love them…they are now the new holders of what is left of my soul and heart…Even Sesshomaru.

InuYasha looked over at me and smiled/smirked. The girls started to swoon at this sight. I frowned and headed over to InuYasha earning gasps from the girls.

"I hate your fangirls." I said sitting on the floor. He looked down at me and gave me an evil smirk, "What is what with that look?"

"That is about the most you have said at school and it happens to be mean…doesn't that say something?"

"…Nope. I don't get the meaning."

"Oh my god you made a joke…with sarcasm, too." InuYasha said sitting next to me. We stayed like that while the real life teacher from Charlie Brown spoke. InuYasha nudged me I turned to him.

"When I first got here…I thought Mr. Yamamoto died."

"…She…she didn't get what happened…She expected me to just come the next day with a smile on," I paused for a long time, "Remember my dad when he first met her?"

"Oh yeah! First he fell asleep then he sneezed on her…not on purpose of course."

"…My hero…"

"… You know you do take after him…" He said looking away. I looked at him wondering if he meant what he had said.

"Why do you say such a thing? I am nothing to his greatness!" I seemed to shout as the crowds cheered for the soccer team. We stayed sitting; him staring at me like I was broken and I was crying…I hate crying…I hate crying in front of him.

End chapter

In life there is always pain. Why we suffer is only in our minds. Change can be evil only when we make it…I will make it evil. – VG
