A Darker Side Of Light.
Summary: Kagome moves into an old house and goes to a local highschool. While searching through old things in the house, she finds a journal of the girl who used to live here. No one seems to know anything, but those who do refuse to admit any relation. It was supposed to be suicide, but something doesn't feel right.

Before
Kikyou stared out the window, drowning out the anoying chatter of the teacher.
English class was a bore.
Outside there was rain. Millions of tears slid down the window, washing away the world.
The trees and streets and cars blurred together behind the curtain of rain.
"Students, today I'm going to allow you to start on your journals..." The teacher continued to drone about the assignment, while Kikyou watched the world being washed away by countless tears.
How ironic.
Her fingers twitched, grasping the pen tighter in her hand.
Her eyes flew over the faces of students she didn't know.
She hated the begginings.
Every year she'd be back to this god-forsaken place to learn and become the best she could be, when all she really wanted was to close her eyes and be forever away from this place.
The class was silent, for once, and she saw the letters on the board.
Slowly, her eyes trailed to the blank paper in front of her, and she closed her eyes.
Apparently, no one was ever gonna read what she wrote anyway.
So what did it matter?
"Journal entry number one.
September 2
I hate the begginings. I hate this school. I hate what my life has become. Is every morning supposed to feel like a death sentence? I wish for rain... "
When school ended, I was ready to run away.
There was only one problem.
Them.
"Come on, it's only for a while." She was dragged away, still sprouting excuses about curfews and dinner parties. Nothing worked.
"This is Naraku" She pointed towards a boy, no, man, looking to be over 20, and she wondered why her friend hung out with someone like him. His black hair was in a high pony tail, and his sharp brown eyes frightened her. She could've sworn they looked red in the light. His black clothes seemed to suck in all the colour like a void, and sghe dreaded being around him.
"This is Inuyasha." She pointed towards a boy with silver hair and hazel eyes. His red shirt matched him well, for he was scowling at her as though she just took a bone away from a puppy. A red baseball cap was placed on his head backwards, and she couldn't help but think he was kind of cute.
"Now, if you boys will excuse us for a second, we'll be right back." Kagura threw over her shoulder, already dragging Kikyou away from them.
Kikyou opened her mouth to attemp another lame excuse but Kagura interupted her. "Listen, I know you have to go, your moms mad, your dad is having a heart attack, and the world is ending so yu can't stay. Cut the shit Kikyou, I need you here, okay?" Kikyou gave her a look. "Remember Naraku?" She didnt wait for a reply. "His girlfriend just killed herself two days ago, and he's really depressed. Since your our most caring and whatever friend, I need you to make him feel better." Kikyou raised a brow at her clearly psychotic friend. "Look, I really like this one. I just can't stand him all mopy and shit, okay? Just fix him for me, would you?"
Again, before she could get a word out, she was dragged back towards the boys and dumped in Naraku's lap. Literally.
"Um, hi?" She tried. He looked down at her and she wondered if she died and went to hell. His brown eyes pierced her very soul. "I'm Kikyou.." She stuck her hand out and almost felt relieved when he shook it.
She tried to stand up, but his hand had somehow wrapped itself around her waist.
She looked at him, her eyebrows scrunched together.
He smiled at her.
She smiled back uncomfortably.
"Journal entry number 26
Novermber 23
I don't know what to do. What the hell did I get myself into? It wasn't supposed to be like this.."
New story. The chapters are going to switch between "Before" and "Now" so you can see both sides of the story.
