Sorry. I had writer's block. And I just had this idea. I always just have this idea. Argh.
Once again, I don't own anything.
The Misfit
Laughter echoed around the hallways of the middle school. Everywhere, boys and girls turned to look and laughed. A young girl stumbled as she was pushed into the lockers and the books in her arms were strewn over the floor.
"Go away. Nobody wants to see your face, freak!" Golden eyes danced with hidden glee as he leered at the girl fallen at his feet. His silver hair was tied in back with a hair tie and he wore top of the line designer clothes.
The girl's eyes watered from behind her thick glasses. She frantically shook her head to reel them in, sending her pigtails flopping around.
"No! No! Stop it!" She cried when the boy stepped on the books.
"Why? You are a freak, an abomination of nature! You shouldn't even be in this school, you beggar! How long does it take for your parents to work in order to send you here? Do they save up every single penny?" The young boy taunted.
Others in her grade joined in the attack, jeering and laughing at the small girl.
"Yeah! Beggars shouldn't even be here! Go back where you belong, in the ghettos!"
"Scram! You little nerd! You give our school a bad name! People dressed in rags like you don't belong here!"
The mocking continued, sending the poor girl into shame. She courageously bore the teasing and heckling until she tore away from the crowd. The taunting followed her.
"Aww! You scared her Inuyasha! Sheesh, what a coward!"
"Great job Inuyasha! That'll show her not to run into you. She didn't get any dirt from her rags on your clothes did she?"
The girl looked back in time to see the crowd congratulating the popular young boy. He had what most didn't. He was boyishly handsome loaded with money. He had a fan club that support every single decision that he made and tons of friends.
The young girl didn't. In the 7th grade of an extremely well off school, people like her just didn't fit. She was dubbed the beggar and the nerd, only able to attend the school because of her straight A+ grades since she couldn't afford the tuition. And unlike the popular girls in her grade, she was underdeveloped and lacked the necessities.
The girl sniffled and wiped a few stray tears angrily away. She wouldn't cry because of them.
"Kagome! Are you okay!" A young girl and guy ran up to her from their classroom.
"Oh my god! I heard was happened. He didn't hurt you did he?" The girl asked worriedly when she reached her.
Kagome shook her head sadly at the girl. "It's okay Sango. It won't matter any longer."
"Of course it will! Miroku, tell Inuyasha to stop picking on Kagome! She's is not a coward, she's the bravest person I ever met!" Sango demanded of the purple eyed boy.
"Well, I…" Miroku stumbled with his words.
"It's okay. Like I said, it won't matter. Nothing will." Kagome sighed and drew something from her pocket.
"I wanted to tell you this earlier. But I couldn't bring myself to do it. I guess I really am a coward."
Kagome shook her head at Sango's protest and handed them each a small link chain with a small cat trinket attached to it.
"Here. This is to remind you of me. Thank you for sticking at my side everyday and being my best friends. I'll always remember you even if you don't remember me."
Sango and Miroku looked at the chain confused. "What? Why?"
Kagome smiled weakly through teary eyes. "My mom's moving back with my dad to Kyoto tomorrow. I'm going to be with my twin sister and younger siblings now. I won't have to put up with everybody at school now and you two will be free from me."
"Oh, Kagome…" Sango whispered and hugged her. "I understand. You'll always be my best friend. I'll wear this forever."
Miroku fingered the chain and slipped it on, then smiled at Kagome. "I'll never forget you either. The others were wrong. You'll the best person I've ever had the chance to meet."
The two of them walked Kagome back to her small apartment. They shared happy moments and memories, reminiscing they're good times and trials they shared together. Finally, it was time for Sango and Miroku to go.
"I promise I'll never forget you!" Sango cried.
Kagome smiled sadly, but didn't answer. Instead, she set the two of them together.
"Promise me this. You'll be together forever. Even with Miroku groping others, promise me you'll get together," Miroku and Sango blushed, each avoiding the other's eyes. "I know you two are good for each other and I know you both like each other. So promise me."
Miroku and Sango shared a look, than laughed. "Sure Kagome. Thanks."
The two walked off, arms linked together. Kagome watched them with a bittersweet smile.
"I wish you two have a great relationship to come. You'll forget about me sooner or later, but I'll be back. I swear it."
(5 years later)
"So is this it, Kagome?"
"Sure is, Kikyo. We're here guys!"
Two nearly identical girls stepped from the car and surveyed the area. The only differences separating the two were the cerulean eyes and darker wavy hair that Kagome had compared to the icy grey eyes and brown straight hair Kikyo had. Otherwise, they both looked almost exactly the same.
Four younger children, two boys and two girls stepped out and awed at the scene.
Their home was beautiful!
Recently orphaned because of a car crash that killed both their parents, Kagome and Kikyo had inherited their father's large company and the custody of all four children. They had decided that Kyoto reminded them to much of their parents, so they decided to return to Tokyo, which Kagome was slightly familiar with.
The six started up the stairs leading to the shrine while they waited for the movers to carry the furniture up. Throughout the morning, they unpacked and arranged the house to their liking. The shrine had 6 bedrooms with adorning bathrooms, 2 guestrooms, a huge living room, gourmet kitchen, family room, dining room and countless other rooms. It even had a huge open plain and forest at the back. The shrine actually seemed more like a mansion than an ordinary shrine.
"This is perfect!" Kikyo congratulated Kagome.
Kagome smiled as she watched the four children organize their rooms.
"Yeah. I know Kik. Tomorrow, we'll go register ourselves at the Shikon Private School."
"Say, isn't that the school you were at before you moved back to us five years ago?" Kikyo questioned. "They didn't treat you to well there, did they?"
Kagome's blue eyes darkened to an icy blue pitch. "No. They didn't. The situation will be different for Souta and Kaede. They're better off. I only had 2 friends, and I was considered the loser and nerd. I promised I'd be back though, so here I am."
Kikyo laughed. "Show them you're stuff Kags! You're not that small nerdy girl anymore; you're a lean, mean fighting machine! With the brains and looks to go with it!"
Kagome's eyes immediately brightened and she laughed with Kikyo. "Yeah. I know. So we're going with tomorrow's schedule?"
"Yep! Sounds like a plan."
Yea yea yea. Writer's block. Please review.
