Chapter 1

The Pack

Kagome's POV

"I'm sorry Kagome. But I'm not ready for a serious relationship. I hope this is okay with you." Said my boyfriend. Or should I say my ex-boyfriend. This is too much for me. I'm practically in tears now. I loved my boyfriend so much and I was ready for a relationship. Well, that's going all down the drain thanks to this idiot.

"Kagome, don't take this too hard." My ex said again.

I bury my face in my hands as the tears come down my face even faster. "Don't take this too hard? Do you know how long I've waited to have a serious relationship? Almost all my life!" I yell through my tears.

I stand up and run off still with my tears streaming. My ex didn't try to stop and reason with me. Boy, what a real man he his. I run to the park where all the pretty cherry blossom trees are. This is my refuge to be whether I'm happy, sad, or angry. It's also the meeting place my friends Sango and Ayame met me at if they're happy, sad, or angry. I wonder what's up with them now? At least they just didn't get dumped by their good for nothing boyfriends...

Sango's POV

I continued to search for my boyfriend. Where is he? If he had something very important to tell me then why would he make me wait? My boyfriend would never do that...would he? A weird feeling pitched into my stomach. Is something up? I round the corner of the street to only see my boyfriend and the most popular girl in my high school making out against the wall! I gasped at the sight. My cheating ass of a boyfriend quit making out with the girl and looked up at me.

"Sango! It's not what you think!" he yells.

"Oh yeah! I'm sure!" I scream. The image remains in my mind and I can see it perfectly, burning in my eyes. I begin to sprint to the Cherry Blossom Park where I like to confront my emotions.

My cheating boyfriend catches up with me and steps in my path. "Stop Sango. We need to talk. That kiss meant nothing! She tricked me into kissing her!" my ex pleads.

"Oh? And are you trying to trick me into believing that?" I scream. Who the hell does this bastard think he is? I'm not stupid to fall for his disgusting lies! I punch my ex in the stomach and make my way around him. I sprint my way to the Cherry Blossom Park. I hope Kagome and Ayame are there!

Ayame's POV

I walk through my house, being utterly bored. There's nothing on TV and nothing to do. I sit on the couch staring into space. The phone rings and I pick it up. It's my boyfriend! I'm excited cause I can now do something!

Then I hear the words, "Ayame, I'm breaking up with you."

I'm in total shock. How could this happen? I stand with the phone in my hand, not speaking. What am I supposed to say? I feel like someone reached into my chest and ripped out my heart. The pain is almost unbearable.

"Ayame? Ayame? Are you there still? Are you alright?" asks my boyfriend.

I snap into reality and scream into the phone, "Of course I'm not all right! What do you expect?" I take the phone and throw it at the wall. It smashes to pieces and I run out of my house. I sprint to the Cherry Blossom Park to sort my feelings out.

Normal POV

The three girls ran up to the same cherry blossom tree at the same time and blurted out at the same time, "My boyfriend dumped me!" They laughed when they said it at the same time.

"What is the matter with us? What did we do to receive break-ups as bad as these?" asked Kagome. She wiped the tears on her face way.

"I don't know. Is it us? That makes us vulnerable to heartbreak?" wondered Sango as she leaned against the trunk of the tree.

"I don't get it? Are we targets for misfortune when it comes to love? That's what it seems like." Questioned Ayame.

"You know what? We don't have to feel the pain of another failed relationship anymore." Said Kagome.

"And how do you suggest we do that Kagome?" asked Ayame.

"Let's make a pack. How about we never date or fall in love with men ever again?" suggested Kagome.

"I like that! We avoid heartbreak." Replied Sango.

"And we no longer shed tears over a failed relationship in the past." Added Ayame.

"Is it a deal?" Kagome asked. She held out her hand. "And the only way you can break the pack is if the others want to as well. We have to come to the same cherry blossom tree, at the same time, on the same day of the month we made it."

"I'm in. I never want to go through with another breakup again." Said Ayame. She put her hand on Kagome's.

"Neither do I. It's too hard to go through again." Agreed Sango. She put her hand on Ayame and Kagome's.

"Then the pack is sealed. On May 21 at 5:00 pm during sundown is when we can only break the pack." confirmed Kagome.
