I will always remember the day that it happened. The day that my life was changed forever. I wake every morning to know that I can never change my past. The flames will always be in my mind, along with the smell of the smoke. The crumbleing and the screams will be forever in my mind.
8 years have passed since that day. I'm 17 now. I live with someone I dare not call family. My evil uncle Akki, who'd rather get drunk then work. Also my little brother Sota. Kagome Higorashi is my name.
I go to Akuma High School and I'm in 11th this year. I've been told I'm not that bad to look at so I guess I'm pretty, but I hide it all under my baggy cloths. I hide away from everyone. I'm sort of a loner as you might call it, but I like it that way. Who needs friends right? All they do is want to get to know you and that's not what I want. All a friend will do is make everything worse for me. Or at least that's what I thought….

Inuyasha Takahashi's the name. I'm 17 years old and I'm about to go to yet another new school. I know this school is going to be just like all the others I've been to. I know its full of hanyou haters. Every school has them, so why should this one be any different?
This'll be my 6th new high school since freshman year. My dad thinks its cause I'm a bad kid but my mom knows its cause I don't take hanyou haters very well. I've been expelled from all my other schools because I've gotten into fights with a fair share of demons and humans. My dad says that this is the last one he's sending me to that's in town. If I get expelled from this one its off to a boarding school. I just thought that I was going to go to this school, get into a few fights, and then boarding school for me but boy was I wrong……..

Beep Beep Beep bee…….
I sighed as I turned off my alarm and got out of bed. I went to my private bathroom and got my shower and brushed my teeth and hair. Then I went to my closet and picked out my baggy black jeans and my baggy dark green hoodie and slipped on my black and green world industry shoes. I went downstairs as quiet as I could, to see Sota already at the door waiting for me and acting as look out.
"Ready?" I asked him and he nodded.
I grabbed my backpack and keys to my truck and went out the door as fast as we could. I stopped at a Mc Donald's on the way to school to get Sota and I some breakfast, dropped him off, and headed for school. I pulled into school and parked my truck and ate my breakfast while listening to my Madina Lake cd. I sighed for the 2nd time today.
School was going to be the same as it was yesterday and the day before that and I knew it. I smiled slightly as me vs. the world started to play. I took a quick look around and started to sing along.
Sometimes I try not to hate myself
For everything I never said when you were here
And so I'm
Burning up the photographs
Of what was our perfect past
Cause I'm still here
But I'm barley holding on
Where did I go wrong
Choking on the difference
Between me and the end of the world
And ever since you've been gone
I've been torn apart
I know that you cant hear me but
I'm still hurt and I wish you were here
So hurt hat I try to burry it
Pretend that you didn't exist so I can be strong
But I feel sick
And I feel diseased'
Cause everyone abandons me
And I can't move along
'Cause I'm barely holding on
Where did I go wrong
Choking on the difference
Between me and the world
And ever since you've been gone
I've been torn apart
I know that you can't hear me but
I'm still hurt
And I wish you were here
I can not pretend you didn't exist
Misery is just a state of mind
Hiding from the world's no way to live
So I'll convince myself that I'll be fine
I'll be fine
But since I lost you
I'm barely holding on
Where did I go wrong
Choking on the difference between
Me and the world
And ever since you've been gone
I've been torn apart
I know that you can't hear me but
I'm still hurt
So I look up to the stars
And wonder out loud
Why everything I had in life
Has fallen from my arms
Can you even hear this song?
I'm screaming at the clouds
Screaming to a galaxy
That never cared at all
That I need you
here
I never noticed the car that pulled up 2 parking spots away or the boy watching me as I sang, I just got out of my truck and went inside of school with a sigh.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I sat down in the back row of the empty class room. I always get there before everyone. It beats being at "home." I took out my sketchbook and started shading in a drawing I had been working on. I heard voices out side the class room. It sounded like the principal showing around yet another new kid, pitching the whole " our school is the best in town" thing.
I was surprised to see the 2 walk into the room. I just went back to sketching till I heard my name.
" Kagome, there you are, I was hoping you would be here early this morning." I just smiled up at him and nodded. " As you can tell we have a new student, and well, it turns out he has all his classes with you." I set my sketchbook aside and decided to listen. "Your very trust worthy and I know you wont steer the boy in the wrong direction. So I'll just leave him here with you so you 2 can get to know each other." I knodded and watched him leave.
The boy sat in the seat in front of me and watched me shade my drawing. 'why is he watching me?'
I noticed the boy had long silver hair and 2 fury doggie ears on top of his head. He was wearing a long sleeved back shirt with a red short sleeved one over it that said " FEH, one sound that can mean so much" and a pair of baggy dark jeans and red and black addias.
" So um, nice drawing…." I looked up at him, smiled and went back to shading. "So um..the names Inuyasha….what's yours?"
" What's it to yah?"
" Huh?"
" I said what's it to yah?" I looked up at him with a questioning look.
" Just wanted to know the name of the person who's going to be showing me around this hell hole" I was about to giggle, but I caught myself. Laughing means you get along with the person, and getting along ends with friends. I just sighed instead.
" Kagome." I went back to shading as the bell rang and a few students came walking into the class room, and soon the class was full.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All during class Inuyasha tried talking to me. I was thankful when Miroku finally told him why I wouldn't answer him.
"Hey Kagome"
" She's not gonna answer you" Inuyasha looked next to him to see a boy with black hair pulled back into a low pony tail looking at him. He was wearing a pair of baggy dark blue jeans, and a purple hoodie that said " you have em, I grab em" and on the back it had a big hand print on it and black and purple zoo yorks.
" What?"
" I said she's not gonna answer you dude…well unless you piss her off, then she's gonna yell at you."
"She talked earlier."
"Yeah probably only a few words" I saw Inuyasha turn around and look at me and turn back around.
" Yeah, so what."
" So, it means your no different from everyone else who's attempted to talk to her."
"What's suppose to mean?"
" Huh?"
" What cause I'm a hanyou I cant talk to her?"
" Dude I never said anything like that."
"What you got something against me?"
" Dude I don't care that you're a hanyou. It's cool with me. Just saying, she doesn't talk to anyone. Not even the teachers really get her to talk. She answers some questions but that's about it." Inuyasha kind of looked shocked when Miroku told him how quiet I was. I found it kind of funny. What? A girl who barley talks….who cares.
Miroku leaned over and held out his hand.
" Miroku, Miroku Souryo." Inuyahsa looked a little apprehensive but he shoot his hand anyway.
" Inuyasha Takahashi."
" The girl behind me is my girlfriend Songo. Um, the boy sitting in front of you is Koga, he's a wolf demon. Next to him the 2 other wolf demons are Ginta and Hakkaku, and the girl wolf demon in front of Koga, is Ayame. You'll want to avoid the slut in the front row by the window. That's Kikyo. She thinks she's hot and can get what she wants when she wants it." Inuyahsa just nodded. Songo leaned forward to listen in on the conversation.
" So, why did you choose to come to Akuma High?" Inuyasha looked back at Songo and smiled.
" I kinda didn't have a choice. I got kicked out of my old school. This is my 6th one since freshmen year."
" Damn!" Songo and Miroku said at the same time.
" I got into a lot of fights. No big deal." Inuyasha shrugged his shoulders and leaned back in his chair.
" Why did yah get into a lot of fights?" Inuyasha looked over at Miroku and sighed.
" I don't take hanyou haters very well."
"Oh that's why you went off on me like that before. Dude its cool with me that you're a hanyou. There are a few here but if you hang out with me and my friends you'll be just fine."
"Alright, cool." Inuyasha smiled. " So now that we got introduced and all, what's with the Kagome girl that's suppose to be showing me around.?"
"Kagome's like the loner of the school, she doesn't talk to anyone. Every year Sango tries talking to her but she just blows her off."
"She wasn't always like this. She only started acting distant about 8yrs ago. She lost her mom and dad in a fire. The only person she really talks to is her little brother Sota, and he hardly talks also."
"Wow, so she doesn't really have family?"
"She lives with her uncle."
" You 2 just gave me a challenge. I'm gonna make Kagome my friend."
