A.N. This chapter has been recently edited as of Aug 16, 2011. I thank Claire for catching anything I didn't catch because of my trying not to change it all around and rewrite the whole thing. Rather frustrating. Anyways if you've read it I don't see it as a major re-read but if you'd like have fun I am so not going to stop you. Love you all!
Disclaimer: Okay so I put the word disclaimer... isn't that proof enough that I do NOT own InuYasha? Well I thought it was.

~Dear book that I've decided to write about the hell hole in,
I was sitting there in my room, listening to them argue from their room down the hall. How could they do it? I mean fight and all. When I was younger, they used to be so happy together. I'm curious as to what love is. Could it honestly be that when two people who love each other so much they fight at each other's throats all the time? What is the point of love when the happiness of it cannot last? I watched her walk out of the room through my open door and heard him mutter under his breath, "Don't slam my door." She heard it when she was entering the bathroom, shutting the door and falling to the floor in the one place she felt was safe for letting her tears silently stream down her face.
I, Kagome Higurashi, am their seventeen year old daughter who is starting to lose all hope in finding a way out of this hell hole. Why is it a hell hole, you ask? Who'd want to listen to bickering and fighting all the time? See them beat, cheat, and abuse each other? I sure wouldn't, and I don't want to. As of a week ago, my one escape died on a plane, ironically, the one that they were coming to rescue me on. My parents had agreed to let me live with them only because they didn't want a worthless daughter who couldn't find a worthy man to marry, one who would solve all their money issues. I avoid men; I don't need a man to support me; I can very well do it on my own. Oh, and of course the many reasons we have money issues are: my parents are drug addicts, alcoholics, and because of their 'love' for one another, they're constantly in the hospital due to the abuse they inflict on one another. They always tell me about how I should find someone, like they had, that they loved oh so much, to marry. If that is love, then I think I'm better off. Like I said before, I don't need a man to support myself; I can do it on my own. They hated it when I told them that, which is why I'm so worthless.
I have just been entered into a public school because my grandparents were the ones who paid to send me to private school. Since they had their accident, which makes me start to believe God is out to get me, I can no longer afford to be sent to the private school of hell. Hm, it sounds like life is just a big hell hole, doesn't it? Today is my first day of public school, which will most likely be yet another hell hole in my life. Heh, I better get going, though. Don't want to be late for my first day, now do I? ~
Kagome closed the small black book and placed it behind her collection of books on the short book shelf in her room in an attempt to hide it. Satisfied when she thought no one would see it, she walked out of her room into the hallway only to hear yelling once again.
"Well, if you had a better job our girls could go to private school and meet a wealthy family. We wouldn't have to worry about money then. It's bad enough your damn parents didn't leave us any money." Kagome heard her mother yell at who she assumed was her father. She had walked into the kitchen, unnoticed by the two fighting parents, and sat down next to her little brother.
"Well, for some reason they left it all to Kagome. I wonder why that is? Is it because you told them that she was the only one you thought would do something with her life? Well, look at her now! She still hasn't found a man, and why does it have to be me who gets the well-paying job? Why can't you get a better paying job? You're the one who gets paid less then minimum wage!" Kagome's mother took her arm back and Kagome covered her brother's ears and her twin sister covered his eyes. If anything, the two sisters didn't want him to see or hear the abuse. He was ten now, and had been raised by Kagome and her sister since he was born. It was after he was born that the happiness had disappeared from their relationship.
"Well, let's head to school Kagome. Souta, keep your eyes closed and hold my hand." The three children all got up from the table and walked out of the kitchen together. "Go get your stuff, Souta, and hurry; we wouldn't want you to be late again. You get ready too, Kagome."
"I'll be right out, Kikyo. I just gotta go to the bonyo." Kagome rushed off towards the bathroom, giggling at her use of the Spanish language. She had always found the word bonyo to be funny. After a few minutes, she opened the bathroom door and went back into her room, heading for her bookcase. "I decided I'll take you with me for a little while. I need someone to talk to in this school." She took the journal out from behind the other books and placed it in her bag, hidden by all the other books. Kagome headed back down the stairs and walked outside where her sister and brother were waiting in the car for her.
"If I'm late again, Kagome, it's going to be all your fault!" Souta complained after Kagome had slid into the front passenger seat. "Kikyo, come on, let's hurry; my friends are waiting." Kikyo started the car and drove out of their driveway, heading towards Jefferson Elementary School.
"Souta, I'll be a little late picking you up; I have cheerleading practice today. See if you can go home with one of your friends, at least until I pick you up, okay?" Kikyo stopped her car, letting Souta out in front of the school. He left his bag in the back seat so she called to him and leaned over Kagome, handing him the bag.
"All right, sis, I'll probably go to Kei's today. His parents said I can go home with him anytime." Kikyo nodded and waved to her brother.
"Bye, squirt!" Kagome shouted from the passenger seat before Kikyo slid back into her seat. Once Souta blended in with the crowd, they drove off towards their own school. "Hey, Kiki? How is this school?" Kagome was staring off out the window, watching as everything passed by. "I'm a little scared that I won't fit in." Kikyo smiled over at her sister, reaching over and patting her on the back, keeping one hand on the wheel and her eyes focused on the road.
"They'll probably all think you're me, so don't worry about them being mean to you. I'm the head cheerleader, remember? I'm pretty popular, if I do say so myself." Kikyo laughed, flipping her hair with her hand as she turned into the school parking lot.
Kids were standing, walking, and sitting all over the place. Some were walking in front of the car, as though the world would stop for them, some were sitting on cars, and some were just standing in a group by cars. There were some cars that had music blaring out of and cars that had people making out on them, or practically having sex. Kagome watched out the window like it was a horror movie. At her old school everyone acted so proper, going straight to class, no public displays of affection and no physical contact. Never had she ever heard or seen anything like this before, except for in movies, and she was starting to wonder how classes would be. Kikyo pulled into a parking spot. Her door flew open as the car was put into park and a tall silver haired man was leaning into the car with a big smile on his face.
"Hey, Ki. Mmm…how I missed you." The man gently pulled Kikyo out of the car and held her up against his chest. It was then Kagome realized the two triangular fuzzy dog ears on top of his head. Within seconds, the two love birds' faces collided together and their tongues practically went down each others' throats. Kagome tried not to gag and stepped out of the car, clearing her throat in an attempt to get them to stop, which apparently worked because they broke apart and Kikyo turned to her sister, smiling.
"Oh, hey, Inuyasha, this is my twin sister Kagome who I told you about. Kagome, this is Inuyasha, my boyfriend and captain of the football team." Kikyo drew circles on his chest when she mentioned him being on the football team and he smiled, leaning down and resuming their game of tonsil hockey.
"Okay, ew…Gross…" Kagome again tried not to gag and decided it was in her best health if she would walk away. She heard a group of kids that were near them pretend to barf and turned their way. One of the girls in the group had realized Kagome was looking at them and stopped laughing then started walking over to greet the new girl.
"It's so gross, isn't it? By the way, who are you? You new to the school?" The strange girl walked up to Kagome and put her hand out in front of her. "My name is Sango."
"Yeah, it is gross." Kagome started laughing and the girl laughed with her. She took Sango's hand and shook it. "My name is Kagome. I just transferred here and the really gross thing over there," she pointed towards the car she had just walked away from where the two people were still going at it, "is my twin sister." Sango eyes grew wide, surprised and took a few steps back, holding her hands in front of her.
"Oh, well, we're sorry for making fun of your sister. I honestly couldn't tell; you look nothing like her." Kagome lurched at the startled girl, throwing her arms around her and giving her a hug while repeatedly saying thank you. "Okay…well, you're welcome." Sango patted her back and pulled Kagome off her. Both girls stood there and looked at each other for a few seconds before starting to laugh, causing the rest of Sango's group to notice the new girl for the first time.
"Hey, who's this fine lady?" One of the guys in the group asked Sango, who slapped him. The guy had short black hair with a low, small pony tail, also known as a rat's tail. There were two others; one had short brown hair that was neatly combed and the other had long black hair pulled into a high pony tail.
"Ugh…Kagome, this is Miroku," Sango jerked her thumb at the guy with the rat's tail who was currently rubbing his cheek, "this is Kouga," she walked over to the guy with the long pony tail, putting her hand on his shoulder, "and this is Hojo." Sango pointed over the last guy with the neatly combed hair before pulling Kagome behind the wall of guys to where there were two girls standing. "These ones are Kagura and Ayame. Everyone, this is Kagome Higurashi. She's new to the school."
"Higurashi? Like Kikyo Higurashi?" Kagura crossed her arms turning her head away from the girl. "I thought you looked like someone I don't care for. Sango, why are you inviting filth into our group, let alone introducing it?" Kagome stepped back, slightly hiding herself behind Sango and somewhat protecting herself from what seemed to be very angry Kagura. Kagura was tall for a female and had short black hair pulled into a high pony-tail.
"Jeez, Kagura, chill. Just because she's family doesn't mean she's like her. You should apologize, and I don't wanna hear anyone refer to her as Kikyo, or even associate them with each other. They are two different people and need to be treated as such. Got it?" Sango sternly asked the last part and everyone nodded their heads and apologized to Kagome, fearing Sango's wrath
"Kagome, what are you doing over there? You're going to be late to your first class; you'll make me, as your sister, look bad. Come on and stop fooling around, especially with those not cool people." Kikyo yelled over towards Kagome from the front door, hanging on Inuyasha's arm. Kagome sighed in frustration, lowering her head. She patted her messenger bag.
'Good thing I brought you,' Kagome thought to herself before she started walking towards her sister. She turned and looked at the person whose hand then suddenly grabbed her arm to stop her.
"It's okay, Kikyo. So you don't have to break a nail over watching your sister, I, the so not cool person I am, will watch over her for you." Sango yelled back and Kikyo just shrugged her shoulders and walked into the school, dragging Inuyasha behind her. The group laughed as a few of them of them high-fived Sango for her victory. "All right, Kagome, let's get you checked in. You ready for your first day here?" Kagome shrugged and followed Sango towards the school doors.
"Not really. People are just gonna call me Kikyo and treat me like her. Ugh, I hate being a twin." Kagome admitted as they made their way into the office. Sango had opened the door to let Kagome go first.
"Hey, there's a new student, Mrs. Minacho. Any possible way I can be her guide around? I would kill to be late to class and leave early today." Sango was practically leaning over the desk, making the old lady behind the desk look up with a rather annoyed look on her face before returning back to her computer and continuing to type.
"What's your name?" the lady asked as she rolled her chair backwards, grabbing papers out of the printer and rolling back.
"My name is Kagome Higurashi. I'm a senior, Ma'am." Mrs. Minacho glanced up at Kagome, never stopping her typing until she handed her a stack of papers.
"This is your class schedule; the room numbers where each class is located are right here. Here is a map of the school. Sango, here is your pass to show her around make sure she gets to her classes. Have fun." Mrs. Minacho pointed at the things she mentioned before returning to her keyboard beginning to type away again, leaving Kagome and Sango to hurry out.
"Well, what's your first class?" Sango ripped the schedule from the stack of papers from Kagome's hand and started looking it over. "No way! You have almost every class with me. Ugh, no wonder she was so willing to let me show you around. Well…first class is English. Man, that class is such a bore!" Sango grabbed Kagome and dragged her to the class room, introducing the other girl to the teacher before taking her own seat.
Kagome looked from the front of the room towards all the seats, looking to see if she knew anyone else that she met earlier. She couldn't tell so she decided to give up and look for the empty seats, and then she saw him, Inuyasha. The guy that was no more the ten minutes ago sticking his tongue down her sister's throat. Holding back another gag, Kagome jumped when the teacher put her hand on her shoulder.
"Class, this is our new student. Her name is Kagome Higurashi. Inuyasha, stand." Inuyasha stood up, glaring at the teacher rather grumpily. "Kagome, please take the seat that's next to the boy standing." Kagome nodded, taking her seat next to Inuyasha and realizing that Sango sat behind her. Kagome turned in her seat towards Sango.
"I have a feeling this is gonna be a long school year." Sango nodded to her and Kagome turned around as both of them both looked forward again and began to pay attention.
