HI, HI!!!! This is my second fanfictic and I'm soooo happy!! This is 'Shadow' hope u enjoy!!!!! I've had this in my head for like… 3-4 weeks… IT WAS DRIVING ME CRAZY! :) I'm a Kikyo hater… beware…
Disclaimer: (say it…) no… (Say it…) I SAID NO DAMMIT! LEAVE ME ALONE! (…SAY IT!) FINE! I DON'T OWN INUYASHA! (Or…) or any of the songs… happy?! (Yes! On with the story!)
"KIKYO, KIKYO HONEY! TIME TO GET UP! YOU HAVE A MUSIC VIDEO TODAY AFTER SCHOOL!" Kagome heard her mother call her slut of a sister, Kikyo.
"SHIT! Yell it in my ear already!!" Kagome shouted at no one in particular. She rolled out of bed and ran into her shower. She also had a music video to do on her newest song, 'Shadow' (A/N: hence the name.)
Kagome Higurashi was the middle child of the now famous Higurashi family. Her older sister by three minutes and twin, Kikyo, was a pop singer and had ALL of the preppy boy population drooling over her. Her younger brother Sota was a child actor and, she was following in her sister's footsteps. Instead of a pop singer, she turned punk and became a rock/ alternative rock singer.
She's been living in Kikyo's shadow ever since her mother found out Kikyo could sing. She figured, if Kikyo could sing, why couldn't Kagome? She was right that Kagome could sing, possibly even better than Kikyo, but that doesn't mean she wanted to. She wanted to be a photographer. Talking pictures of different things and such.
Her and Kikyo were the best of friends before the singing incident that put them on the map…

"Opps, I did it again
I played with your heart
Got lost in the game,
Oh baby, baby" a ten-year-old Kikyo sang in the shower. Her mother just happened to be outside the bathroom door, carrying clean clothes to Kagome's room, when she heard her daughter singing.
'Oh god,' she thought with excitement, 'my baby girl can sing! I can get her a record deal! I wonder if Kaggy can sing…' she thought as she finally reached Kagome's room.
"I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you" A ten-year-old Kagome sang while taking pictures of her room with her new digital camera she got from her grandpa. 'Yes! Kaggy can sing too! Well, time to start calling!' Mrs. Higurashi thought as she set the clothes down and dashed
downstairs.
"Girls come down stairs! I have something to tell you!" Mrs. Higurashi yelled to her twins. They came rushing down as soon as they heard her voice. "Yea mom. What do ya want?" Kagome asked roughly. She was always tomboyish even if her twin was as preppy as can be. " Well, I heard you two singing and I decided to get you started on your music careers. So, you both are going to pick a song and sing it to my friend who works with the record companies. Hopefully, you will both get one." She said, smiling from ear to ear. "WHAT?!" both girls asked at the same time, one more exited than the other.
"Singing? You can't be serious! I don't want to be a stupid singer! I want to be a professional photographer!" Kagome cried. She already knew what she wanted to do.
"Singing? Yes! I always wanted to be like my idol Britany Spears!"(AN: GAG) Kikyo cried daydreaming about what it would be like to be famous.

Kagome tried again and again until she realized her mother would make her do this. From that point on she decided if she were going to be a singer, she would be a rocker, an alternative and regular rock singer. She learned how to play the guitar, piano, fight because she constantly got into fights, and skateboard.
Their mom ignored Kagome after she decided what kind of singer she wanted to be and wouldn't follow Kikyo's example. Their mom always said that Kagome should be 'more girly.' (A/N: I get those talks ALL the time… it's really annoying.) Kagome never listened though. She would be her own person no matter what.
Sota still loved Kagome even if her mother and sister didn't. Kikyo and Kagome had grown apart after that point. Kagome wore a little make up, black and chains a lot and Kikyo wore TONS of make up, shorts skirts and too tight of shirts. Kagome didn't want to admit that was her sister anymore; she used to be proud of it. Kikyo totally ignored Kagome when they went to school too. They would stand not ever near each other when it was time to go home. Kagome would usually ride home and Kikyo would catch a ride with the ' boy toy' of the week.
After Kagome got out of the shower, she went to her walk-in closet to figure out what to wear. She decided upon a black shirt with a white happy bunny on it and in red letters read: 'Hate is just a special kind of love we give to people who suck.' She had baggy, blood red sweatpants with two black stripes on each side. (A/N: I have that outfit!) She wore black eyeliner and sparkly lip-gloss.
She pulled her raven hair into a high ponytail with a red hair tie. Kagome wore her favorite black and red spiked dog collar. She also wore a long black chain with a rainbow colored jewel in the middle. Kagome grabbed her red and gold shoulder backpack and ran downstairs.
When she got downstairs, she saw her sister in a pink leather mini skirt and a baby blue button-up shirt. It was buttoned up to the middle, showing WAY too much cleavage. She also had a lot of make up on. (I don't know the make up names cause I don't wear it so sorry.) Kikyo was sporting high-heeled pink flop flops that Kagome absolutely hated.
Totally ignoring her mother and sister, Kagome grabbed a piece of toast, Sota, Sota's skateboard, her skateboard and ran out the door. Before she left, she said a quick, " TTFN" and left.
Kagome always dropped Sota off at Tama elementary on her way to school to make sure he got there safely. When she got there, she said, " Bye little bro! See ya after school!" and ruffled his hair. Before she skated off she added, " And don't do anything I wouldn't do!" Sota chuckled. That meant he could anything. Kagome just about did it all. He waved to his sister and saw his friend and cast buddy, Kohaku.
"Hey Kohaku! Wait up!" He yelled to his friend and ran to him.
Kagome skated along, grinded a few ramps and jumped on a few cars on her way to school. When she got to Shikon high school, she saw her best friend, Sango beating up another one of her best friends, Miroku.
"Hey Sango!" Kagome yelled, " Did Miroku touch your ass again?"
Sango looked up and noticed Kagome and forgot about Miroku temporarily. She was wearing red and black fluffy skirt with combat boots and a black shirt with a white arrow pointing up that said 'My face is up here, stupid.' in red letters.
"Hey Kags! Yea he did. Stupid pervert," she said glancing at the unconscious Miroku, "how are ya?" Sango asked. "Bored. We have a music video to shoot tonight you know that, right? Can you stop beating Miro up so we can tell the others?" Kagome asked. Sango was the bass player and backup singer. They had three other members of, Whoop-Ass 17, Ayame, Rin, and Kagura. In the band, Kagome was the lead singer and electric guitarist, Sango was the bass guitarist and backup singer, Ayame was the pianist sometimes, manager, and electronics worker; Rin was the drummer, and Kagura was the regular guitarist.
Sango nodded, grabbed her backpack and walked off with Kagome. " After we tell everyone are you going to let me hear that new song? What's its name? Uhhh… 'Reflection'? You did finish it, right?" Sango asked and Kagome smiled. " Yea, you can hear it if you want. It's not that great believe me. It's kind of away from our usual rock style…. but I think you'll like it." She said. They walked in silence for a while before they saw Kagura. Kagome got to her first and reminded her. They did that 'till everyone new about the video. They would ride in Kagome's electric blue hummer with a bright yellow lightning bolt on each side; the lightning bolt was glow-in-the-dark to drive there.
After everyone was informed, they headed up to the band room. "Are you sure you want to hear the song? You'll think it'll suck! It's really slow!" Kagome said trying to wiggle her way out of the situation but Sango wasn't going for it. "YES KAGOME I WANT TO HEAR THE SONG! STOP STALING AND PLAY THE FREAKIN' SONG ALREADY!" Sango yelled. Kagome gulped and sighed. She checked to see if the piano was toned and started to play.
"Look at me
I will never pass
as a
perfect bride
Or a perfect daughter
Can it be
I'm
not meant to play this part?
Now I see
That
if I were truly
To be myself
I would break my family's
heart
Kagome sang soft yet strong. Sango was amazed at how much emotion Kagome put into that song. It was amazing. Sango had known Kagome for a long time and even on slow songs she never put this much emotion into it. It was like it was pouring out of her heart.
Who is that girl I see
Staring straight
Back at me?
Why is my reflection someone
I don't know?
Somehow I cannot hide
Who I am
Though
I've tried
When will my reflection show
Who I am
inside?
When will my reflection show
Who I am
inside?
Sango just started at Kagome. Her eyes were as big as dinner plates. Kagome took it as she didn't like it and said, " I told you, you wouldn't like it." "WHAT?! I LOVED IT! WHEN DID YOU THINK OF THIS? YOU CAN PLAY THIS FOR ONE OF YOUR SONGS FOR THE BATTLE OF THE BANDS NEXT MONTH!!!" Sango shouted excitedly. Kagome jumped up and hugged Sango as they were bouncing with joy.
"YEA! I thought of it sometime last month and has been perfecting it." Kagome said. She looked at Sango and Sango was staring at the digital clock on the wall. She glanced over and had to look again. " HOLY SHIT SANGO! IT'S 7: 59 AND SCHOOL STARTS AT EIGHT!" she yelled and ran off. When she noticed Sango wasn't dashing with her she yelled, " DAMN SANGO! Don't just stand there looking at the freakin' clock! Let's get a move on!" Sango quickly recovered over her stupor and ran out with Kagome. " Hopefully Miro'll have a good excuse for us!" Sango yelled.
"Yea! If he's conscious yet!" she yelled and glared at Sango.
They bust throw the door of their first period class, Computers with Mr. Naraku. Mr. Naraku was probably THE most vicious teacher you would ever have the misfortune to meet. He was mean, ornery, conniving, perverted, a lair, vicious and a bastard. All of the girls hated him. Even if they loved computers, they wouldn't go in his class for two reasons: #1 He was a damn good lair so if you went to court for him hitting on them, he could get out of it, #2 He was totally perverted. Most of the guys didn't take his class either. But, Kagome and Sango had to be in his class.
" Hey Mr. Bitch. Were late. Deal with it." Kagome said viciously, each word dripping with poison. Kagome called him that because it was true.
" Kagome, Sango…" He said smoothly, " Too bad your late, you could have been the special students today." He said and winked at Kagome and Sango, they felt ready to barf. Miroku stood up and dashed over to the girls and stood in front of them.
" I don't think that would be a very wise idea," Miroku growled, " I think you want to stay in one piece… that might happen if you don't touch Kagome or Sango." He said and glared. Naraku chuckled and went back to teaching. " You girls alright?" Miroku asked. They both nodded and sat down.
-1 hour and 15 minutes of terror later-
"OMG! I'm so happy that's over!" Sango said with a sigh " Yea now, only four more classes left." Kagome said and headed of towards History.
In history things went like usual: homework, homework, 75-pound book, and more homework. (A/N: That's how my history class is…-.-; ) The rest of the classes passed quickly and ON TO LUNCH WE GO!
"Yea! Lunch! I'm starving!" Kagome yelled with happiness and took a huge bite out of her chicken sandwich. "Tell me about it." Sango said and started eating her lunch. Kagome looked up to see Miroku hadn't sat down yet. She took a second to look at what he was wearing: A dark purple muscle shirt that had a band named ' Hardcore Dogs' in red letters that looked like it was dripping blood. His pants were black with a blue outline. They had sliver chains and pockets everywhere. He had his usual gold earrings on and had a black stud in the top of his right ear.
"Preps at lunch time. Be on your guard ladies." Miroku said sat down avoiding eye contact with the leader, Yura. He had dated her until he found out she was cheating on him with this other guy. That was last year. This year she still acts like his girlfriend, even though it has been over a long time. 'Here comes bitchy…' he thought shuddering.
" Hey Miro, babe. Why are you still hanging out with these," she glanced at Kagome and Sango, " losers when you could become a prep again and join my group?" She said batting her eyes at Miroku. Its true Miroku was ONCE a prep. Now, he wouldn't go back if someone paid him one thousand dollars. She had on a lime green skirt that was WAY too short and a thin white V-neck shirt that was really low.
"LOSERS? WHO'RE YOU CALLN' LOSERS?!" Kagome screamed. Sango grabbed Kagome just in time from hitting Yura in the nose. " You should keep that…thing on a leash." Yura said and turned back to Miroku. That was the last straw for Sango. Nobody, I mean NOBODY insulted her friends around her like that. This slut is going down. She picked up a piece of chocolate cake and yelled, "Hey Yura!" Once Yura turned around Sango threw the cake. It landed right in her shirt. Yura screamed and threw macaroni and cheese at Sango. Sango ducked at it hit an unsuspecting Goku in the head.
Kagome smirked and yelled "FOOD FIGHT!!!!" after that it all went downhill.
That was at lunchtime. Kagome, Sango, Miroku, and Yura got sent to go see Ms. Kaede, the principle. She had given them three weeks worth of detention and they had to clean up the cafeteria. While they were, cleaning Kagome decided to make conversation.
"Hey Miroku. Who is 'Hardcore Dogs'? Is it a band? I never heard of them." Kagome asked. "Yea it is. It's a band I'm in. My friend Inuyasha made it up. I'm the bass player. Hopefully you'll meet the rest of us at Battle of the Bands. There's Kouga, Shesshomaru, Inuyasha, Shippo, and me. Inuyasha's the electric guitarist and lead singer, I'm the bass player and back-up singer, Kouga's an extra guitarist and the electronic guy, Shesshomaru is the regular guitarist and manager, and Shippo's the drummer. I told them about Whoop-Ass 17. They seemed interested." Miroku finished and winked at Sango she blushed and turned away.
After they finished cleaning the lunchroom, it was time to go home and Miroku had to go because he was late practice with H.D. Kagome and Sango went home to get ready for the music video.
" Bye Sango! See you at seven!" Kagome yelled and hopped on her skateboard.
" Bye Kags! See ya!" Sango yelled and started walking home.
" Shit that was a long day. I'm home for anyone who wants to know!" She yelled. No one answered so she guessed no one was home. She ran up the stairs and into her bedroom. Kagome took out her Hoobastank CD and put it in her surround sound stereo. As the music played she did her homework. ' Ah crap! After I'm done with all this freaking homework, I'll take a nap, take a shower and go pick up everyone.' A few minutes later she heard the door slam.
" Oh Freak wad! I'm home!" Kikyo yelled.
Kagome groaned. She didn't need this. " Like I care! Go screw a cow!"
" Kagome! Don't yell at your sister like that! She just broke with her boyfriend!" Mrs. Higurashi yelled, " But don't worry Kiki, honey, a punk rocker doesn't deserve you." Great! Obliviously her mother came home with clay pot. 'What? A punk rocker plus Kikyo equals dating?! What's the world coming to?' Kagome thought.
" Oh yea! Big deal she broke up with another boy toy! Ha! Don't know why they'd want her anyway!" Kagome yelled. After that was just a whole lot of yelling and screaming over nothing.
