Prologue/Chapter 1

"We're here!" Mrs. Higurashi said excitedly as she pulled her car into the driveway of their new home. She parked the car and smiled at her daughter sitting in the passenger seat. The black haired sixteen year old said nothing. She stared at her book bag that laid at her feet. "Come on! Brighten up! This house may be smaller that out old one, But you'll have a larger bedroom!" Kagome looked out her window, across the grass. She wanted nothing to do with this.

"Mom, our old house was HUGE!" When her parents got divorced, Kagome and her mother decided to move. Her brother Sota stayed with her dad 200 miles away with all her friends and teachers. She wanted nothing to do with either of her parents right now. She opened the door and got out. When both feet were on the ground, she looked at their new home.

It was a small two story house with a small porch and large backyard. It was a grey blue with dark blue shutters. She looked at the surrounding houses. There was a young female with headphones on reading a book on the porch at the house to the right. She had dark brown hair and was dressed up like she was going out. The driveways were empty on the rest. It was six pm on a Friday.

"Come on, Kagome! We should unpack the things we're going to need tonight." Her mother called, unlocking the beautiful front door. They stepped inside to see that the house needed some work. They both looked around. Kagome raced up the stairs to claim her room.

"Oh, wow!" Kagome found that there were three rooms, all with their own bathrooms. She chose the one with the largest bathroom. Hey, if moms making me live here, I'm getting a large bathroom. That was the deal they had made in the car on the way here. She immediately found a scrap sheet of paper and a pen from her purse and scribbled a note to her mother on it and stuck it on a nail that was sticking out of the door to the bedroom.

She walked around the rest of the house. It had a dinning room, kitchen, and two living rooms, a half bathroom, and a library on the first floor. The second floor had 3 full bathrooms, 4 bedrooms, and a bonus room. It was large. Her old house was considered a mansion. It had 6 bedrooms, 6 full bathrooms, and 3 bonus rooms on the second floor and 3 living rooms, one study, one library, a large dining room, and a large kitchen. Then they had a one room third floor.

Kagome walked into the smaller living room and sat on the floor. Her mother walked in and stood in front of her. "Why don't you take a walk and see what the neighborhood is like? Try and see if anyone your age lives near here. I'm sure I saw a young girl sitting on the porch next door."

"Mom, she was dressed up. Probably waiting for her boyfriend so they could go out. It's a Friday night. Everyone is out with friends!" She got up and walked out of the house. "Damn parents" she mumbled to herself when she got to the end of the drive way. She made a left and continued to walk down the street. I miss them already. Why did I have to leave my friends behind?! It's going to be hard starting a new school. I guess it wont be THAT hard considering that school hasn't even started yet. She looked up at the setting sun.

She noticed a park. She walked towards the playground and sat on the swing. She stared at the ground. "Who knows," she mumbled. "Maybe I'll grow to like it here. Maybe." She never noticed that a little kid had come up to her.

"Hi." He smiled at her. He's a demon! Demons were common, but it still shocked her to see one.

"Hi." She smiled back.

"What's your name?"

"Kagome. What's yours?"

"Shippo! How come you're here all alone?" He asked with curiosity.

"Ummm…" she didn't know if she should tell him she just moved here so she decided to lie. "I'm about to go looking for my friends."

"Oh, have a good night! My fathers probably looking for me. Nice meeting you!" he turned around and ran away.

"Well, that was pointless…" She got up and decided to head back towards her house. It was dark now and she could see her house. She saw two figures standing on the porch at the house to the left of hers. When she got to her driveway she watched them kiss. When the couple noticed her, they stopped. Kagome noticed she was staring. She blushed a deep red. "Sorry." She mumbled and walked into her house.
