Disclaimer- I don't own any IY characters, blah blah blah. sigh You all know this as well as I do.
Now on with the story...
Chapter 1- The Calm Before the Storm
A 5-year-old Kagome sat crying in a sandbox in (insert name) park. A golden eyed boy walks up and crouches down beside her.
"Why are you crying?" he asks.
She sniffs and uncovers her eyes to look over at him. "Some boys ruined my castle," she whispers sadly, "and it took me so long to make it pretty." He smiles, "Would you like me to help you remake it?" he offers.
She nods shyly, looks at him gratefully and tries to scrub away at the tears rolling down her chubby cheeks.
10 years later
Kagome Higarashi was sitting in a chair in front of her vanity with her eyes squeezed shut. Her best friend Tay stood behind her with a pair of scissors.
"Remember Kag, you wanted me to do this," Ray reminded her friend.
Kagome sighed, "I know." She winced and slowly opened her eyes, then gasped at her reflection.
Almost all of her long, shiny dark hair was gone. She reached up to feel the short ends of hair that barely reached her ears.
"I still don't understand why you want to do this so much Kagome," Ray complained.
Kagome sighed. "I've told you a thousand and one times Ray! I don't want to go to an all girls school and have to take up sewing or something equally as boring like that!" she cried exasperatedly. "I've always wanted to do sword fighting, kendo, archery. You know how competitive I am. I get along better with boys anyways. This is a perfect opportunity for me."
"Yeah, but…" Ray began but Kagome cut her off.
"I am not gonna regret this Ray, I promise."
"You're right, sorry. I'm just going to miss you is all. I'm used to seeing you every day! Now we're hardly going to see each other at all since you'll be living in a dorm."
"I'll miss you too, but there are always the weekends. We can hang out together all weekend sometimes."
Ray smiled. "So do you know what your schedule is yet? Or what dorm you'll be staying in with who?" she inquired.
"No, I don't get that information until I go and see the principal tomorrow morning."
"Oh, well… I had better go. You'll need to get all of the sleep you can get. I hear that all boys school is hard. Good luck, Kag."
"Thanks Ray," Kagome replied and got up to hug her friend and walk her to the door.
When Ray had left, Kagome walked into her room and fell onto her bed. Minutes later she fell into a much less than peaceful sleep.
Kagome's Dream Sequence
She is crying. A little boy with golden eyes suddenly appears.
"What's wrong Kagome?" he asks.
"My parents found out where I'm going to school. They've decided to send me to a Catholic school in America. I have to leave all of my friends behind and I won't ever see them again," she replied with tears spilling down her face.
He holds out his hand. "Come with me. I'll take you somewhere where you wont have to leave everyone. Where you'll be happy."
Kagome takes the little boys hand without question and he leads her through a town.
"Have I seen you before?" she asks.
He smiles at her and keeps walking.
"Where are we going?" she asks but the golden eyed boy keeps says nothing.
After a while they enter a forest but the boy just keeps a hold of her hand and pulls her through thorns and tangles.
"Hey, stop a minute," Kagome orders. He ignores her. "Hey!" she shouts. "I said stop! Where the hell are you taking me?"
The boy then disappeared and the forest turned eerily silent. Kagome turned around slowly but everything looked the same. She and the boy had to have walked at least a mile into the forest but she didn't know which way they had come from.
She began to cry and fell to her knees. "Hello?" she screamed, "Come back! Help me, please! Where did you go?!?" She continued to scream until her voice was hoarse but still, no one came.
End Dream Sequence
Kagome woke with a start. Eyes puffy and red from crying, face tearstained. Slowly, she let out a breath she hadn't realized she had been holding and sat up. Looking at her alarm clock, she gasped.
"Kyah!!!"
She heard pounding footsteps as her brother Souta ran into the room to find her rushing around trying to find her uniform.
"What is it?" he gasped, doubled over and out of breath.
"I'm going to be sooo late! And it's my first day!" she cried, forgetting her dream for the moment.
