Hi. My name is Kagome Higurashi. I'm 16 years old, and I live with my mother, grandfather, and my little brother, Souta. And my cat, but he doesn't count, does he? Anyway, I have a regular school life, although it can be boring at times. My best friends in the whole world are two guys named Miroku and Kouga. Well, Kouga is really my cousin, but he is still considered one of my best friends.

Many times a day, I prayed my life would change for the better. Become more exciting. More adventurous. Little did I know, that my wishes were just about to be answered...

Bang. Bang. Bang. "Kagome, it's time to get up!"

Kagome lay motionless on her bed.

"..." Bang, Bang, BANG. "Ka-go-me! Mom said so!"

... Still no answer.

On the other side of the door, stood Kagome's little brother, Souta.

BANG, BANG! "KAGOME! If you don't get up I'm gonna tell mom what you did yesterday!"

This time, there was a reaction. Kagome shot up from her sleepy state, and looked towards the door quickly. "Souta! If you tell mom what I did, then I'll tell her what YOU did the day before THAT!" Kagome said viciously. You should never use blackmail to wake up a woman. Only horror and violence will come your way.

Souta took a step back. "W-well! If you tell her what I did the day before, then I'll tell her--"
"Souta! Shut up and go away!" Kagome yelled through the door. It was a nice door. Kagome liked her door...because it was nice.

Souta's retreating footsteps could be heard running down the stairs.

"Finally!" Kagome said with a sigh. She fell back, and stared at the ceiling. Then she smiled. She loved her little brother, but sometimes he could get a little annoying. She did, after all, just wake up. No thanks to Souta. Glancing at her clock, Kagome saw it was 7 am.

"7 am... hm. I like that number. Seven...Seven..." Kagome took in a deep breath. Then a prick of realization came over her. "CRAP! It's 7 AM!" Kagome got out of bed as quickly as possibly, ran into her closet, came out with a towel, and ran into the bathroom.

Kagome looked at her form. "Wait... What the heck am I thinking! I don't have time for a shower!" Kagome brushed her teeth, quickly washed her face, ran out of the bathroom, back into her closet, got dressed, grabbed some socks, grabbed her backpack, rushed downstairs, shoved a piece of toast into her mouth, while putting on her socks, swallowed, ran to the door, slipped on her shoes, "Bye mom! Bye Souta!" And she rushed out the door.

She sighed deeply. "At least I didn't miss the bus--" Kagome looked up, and saw the bus slowly retreating down the street. Her eye twitched slightly, and then she fell to the ground, asking God why she had such bad luck. Straightening herself up, she said, "Who cares about the bus! I like walking to school much better!" She said triumphantly.

As Kagome is walking to school, she met with Miroku, who lives three houses down from her, and her cousin Kouga, who lives just down the street.

"So, you were woken up by Souta, a second later you found out you were going to be late, and then got ready as quickly as you could?"

And that's the short version for ya.

Kagome nodded. "Mm hmm. Can you believe my luck? And I missed the bus too..."

"Good thing I didn't get on it when it came by my house. I had this strange little voice in my head that sounded somewhat like a shriveled up old man telling me not to go on it... So, I didn't!" Said Miroku.

Here a little info for ya.
Miroku is one of my best friends. He's a bit of a pervert, but he's really a very nice guy once you get to know him.
"Yeah, I got that same feeling. I guess we all have some kind of telepathic connection, huh?" Kouga said with a laugh.

Once again, some info for you.
Kouga is my other best friend. He's actually my cousin, but I still consider him a best friend. He's a little too protective of me sometimes, but he's really cool.
Kagome smiled. She loved her friends.

After a short while, they arrived at school. It was a nice looking school, but the students there weren't all that great. Bullies, Sluts, Preps, Punks... pretty much everyone was labeled. Kouga was labeled as one of the popular kids, and Miroku was labeled as a popular, but perverted guy. Now you're thinking, Kagome must be one of the popular kids because Kouga and Miroku are popular. But no. Kagome was labeled as a nobody.

A nobody, or, Kouga and Miroku's friend.

Kagome hated it. Nobody even called her by her name except for the people like the nerds, and Kouga and Miroku. Kagome thought the nerds were pretty nice. They never hurt her in any way, so it was alright.

After a couple of her classes, Kagome headed to the library. She loved the library. It was always so quiet, and Kagome loved books.
She smiled and walked to the history section. She never knew why, but she had a thing for history. It always piqued her interest somehow.

She looked over some books on the shelf under "Feudal Era". She never really went to this section to often, but she was drawn to it today for some reason. Most of the books looked rather old, and some of them were scrolls lined up neatly.

She finally spotted a book that looked very old, and was a nice dark red. It looked leather, but Kagome could tell it wasn't. Grabbing it off the shelf, and finding an empty table to sit at, seeing there was nothing on the front cover, Kagome opened the book.

Inside she discovered a long line stretching from the left side of the book, all the way to the right side of the book, and then it stopped before it reached the end. Kagome moved her index finger over it. Had somebody gotten something sharp, and scraped it along the book? How rude of them. This was a library book.

Unless it wasn't made recently.

But Kagome, from the looks of it, saw the line in the book looked fresh.

She flipped a couple pages, and then saw more lines. About four this time. She flipped a couple more pages, and finally saw writing. She began to read what was on the page:

March 1, 1346,

Age: 14

Dear red book,

Today I found out the Koujo likes me! I feel so glad! He didn't tell me directly, but I heard him talking with some of his friends earlier. He said, "Yes, I like her.
Her brown eyes, her black hair, I like all of it. But.
Do you think she likes me too?" His friends all nodded To him! I feel so happy! Then he almost called me over.
He yelled out, "K------!" He was cut short though be-
cause class was going to start. I have so many butter-
flies in my stomache I feel like I am about to burst!
If I tell him my feelings tomorrow, then maybe we will start seeing each other! Then we shall get married, and I will be known as, Mrs. Koujo ----------!

-Kagamei

Kagome couldn't make out what the last name was, because it looked as though the girl was practicing a cursive form of her last name to be. This girl really must like this guy if she is already practicing how to write his last name as part of her signature. Kagome continued reading:

March 2, 1346,

Age: 14

Dear red book,

I feel horrid! Oh! What shall I do? I told Koujo my feelings,
but he told me he did not feel the same way! I said, but I just heard you talking about me yesterday! And he told me I was miss-informed, and that his true loved was for Kikiou! I ran straight home after school, and wept. Which I am still doing... Red book, I feel so sad, I do not know what to do!
I could never find a new love! My heart is only for him, Koujo!
Red book, I must leave you now, for I fear to get you wet with my sorrowful tears. Good bye.

-Kagamei

Kagome found herself beginning to tear up. This poor girl confessed her feelings to this Koujo person, and he rejected her! What did this Kikiou person have that Kagamei didn't? 6 arms? ... Kagome decided not to go there because she didn't really know how this Kagamei person looked...

Kagome decided to check this red book out, so she went to the librarian's desk.

"I'd like to check out this book please." Kagome said, reaching into her book bag to take out her school library card.

The librarian looked up, and then looked at the desk. "Miss, where is the book?" Said the librarian.
Kagome looked up, and said, "Oh! Sorry. Here." She said placing it on the desk.

The librarian looked at Kagome in amusement. "Miss, do you wish to toy with me? There is no book." The women said. Kagome looked at the women, and then to the desk, then to the women, "Ma'am, there is indeed a book there. It's right in front of you!" Kagome said with a smirk. Geez was the lady blind?

"Miss," The women said. "There is no book. Do not toy with a woman of my age! Now go and find a book that is not invisible!" The women said frowning.

Kagome was beginning to get angry. "Listen lady, there is a book there, and I'm going to check it out!" Kagome said holding the book in front of the librarian's face.

The librarian lightly pushed Kagome's hands away from her face, "Miss! There is no book! Now you will either go and find a book that is real, or you will leave my library!" The women shouted.

Kagome was pretty frustrated. "Fine! I'll take the book, and leave this darn library!" Kagome shouted, red spreading throughout her face. She clenched the book in her hand, and stomped out of the library quickly.

At home, as Kagome walked up the stairs, she looked the book up and down, but there was nothing on it. She could already tell it was a diary, but...

Kagome shrugged it off.

Entering her room, and closing the door, she slumped on her bed, and began to read more of the book:

March 3, 1346,
Age: 14 Dear red book,

I saw Koujo sitting next to Kikiou in class today. I feel so humiliated, but I do not know why I do.
Maybe it's because I was not chosen over Kikiou.
Yes. That must be it! Red book, will I ever find another love?
Or will I forever bear sadness for the loss of my beloved Koujo-kun?

-Kagamei

Kagome thought for a minute. This girl had brown eyes, and black hair, and her name was Kagamei... Kagome shrugged. Oh well, that's not important!

"But I really want to find out more about this girl in the book. She said she is 14, and that's just about a year younger than me!" Kagome said, staring at the books shining red cover. Glancing at the clock, she noticed it was already 7:40 pm. It was getting close to the point of the time she should go to bed.

"Ah well. Guess I should go to sleep. This red book will have to wait until tomorrow." Kagome said. She hadn't eaten yet, but she wasn't feeling hungry for some reason. Kagome got on her p.j.'s, and lie in her bed, and slowly fell asleep.

Once her breathing steadied, and was fully in sleep, the book began to shake off her desk, and fell to the floor. It was open to a page that looked as though it were shredded up with somebodies nails... or maybe claws.

Kagome had an odd dream that night. A dream the started right when her eye-lids closed.

In Kagome's dream:

It was white. There was no color at all. Just white. It looked like a room. A plain white room, and there was... slowly a figure came into view. It was the figure of a man. But there were triangles on his head. His hair was very long, and it was a white silver color. His clothing was white and red, and he wore black boots.

Kagome didn't see herself in the dream at all. It was as if she was standing there in person, and was staring right at the figure.
Then slowly, she saw him begin to look up. It was kind of scary. She had not yet seen him standing there for 2 minutes in the least. Finally, she saw part of his eyes... they were---

End Kagome's dream.

Kagome shot up from her sleep, and looked around her room quickly. She was running a cold sweat. Who was that? She saw red... yes...part of his clothes were red... but... his eyes...what about his eyes? They were... Kagome felt so tired.
And then she said in a quivering voice,
"Who...WAS that?"
