MidniteHearts: This story just suddenly popped into my head. I'm really glad that it did, because that way I wouldn't have to brainstorm, so I hope you like it.
Disclaimer: Come on, people. If I really owned Inuyasha (which I don't) would I really be doing this?
Chapter 1: Dear Diary
Dear diary. This will have to be the first time that I've written in you since my sister, gave it to me. She said that it was a stress reliever, to let out all my emotions, but on paper. My name's Kagome Higurashi, and I have a story to tell.
But first, I want to you all to know that I'm feeling like total shit right now. Nothing in my life is going right. I should have never made those stupid mistakes, but I didn't mean to do any of it. I just wanted to be popular.
But no one seems to believe me, no matter how hard I try to explain it to them. They didn't know what it was like to have so many people not like you.
They were never teased in school. They always made good grades. But me...well, I was a totally different story.
It all started in the second semester of my Junior year in high school. That was the worst semester of my life. There are three reasons why so here they are.
1). My boyfriend of two years had broken up with me.
2). My best friend since we were kids wants nothing to do with me.
And finally...
3). My sister is really close to kicking me out of her house. She says that I'm out of control.
And if you want to get a better understanding of what I'm talking about, then let's go back to about four months ago when this all started.

Four Months Earlier
It was the eighth of January, and all the students who were attending Shikon high were dreading the return of going back to school right after Christmas break.
But not me and my friend, Rin. We were actually a little anxious. Call us crazy, but after being out of school for about two weeks with practically nothing to do, you would pretty much yearn for a textbook in put in the front of your face.
Rin and I have been friends since the sixth grade. We met in the cafeteria when I had nowhere to sit, and she offered me to sit with her. After that we pretty much hit it off.
We were thicker than molasses. While growing up and going from middle school to high school, Rin and I were never popular. Instead of going to the mall after school, we would usually hang out at her place or mine. And instead of going to school dances, we would hear it from other students who went.
And instead of having boyfriends...well I can't really say anything about that because, we've never had any. But I finally have one. His name's Inuyasha, and he's really sweet. He's my first actual boyfriend.
I heard the annoying sound of my alarm clock go off, which was set at 7:10 in the morning. I groaned and rolled over, fumbling for the snooze button. When I couldn't find it, I yanked it from its outlet.
Like I was really going to listen to that for a full minute straight.
Just when I thought that I could sleep for a few extra minutes, that's when someone started pounding on my door.
"Kagome, get up!"
It was my older sister, Kikyo.
"Come on," she said. "I've already made breakfast."
I groaned again, and roll in my bed so far, that I landed on the floor with a hard thud. Kikyo heard.
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah," I answered weakly.
I struggled to get up and rubbed down my sore body. After that, I went to my closet in search of something to wear. Since it was still winter and there was plenty of snow outside, I needed to dress appropriately. I skimmed through what I had and chose a red sweater with black jeans. I slipped on my snow boots and headed into the bathroom to take care of business.
Once that was completed with, I went downstairs.
Kikyo was already putting the dishes that had been used into the dishwasher. As usual, my food would be in the microwave. I got my plate and sat at the table.
"It's about time," she said once as she saw me.
"Sorry," I mumbled while eating waffles.
She sat across from me. "I have to work late," she announced, "So I need you to baby sit, all right?"
I gave her a look. "But Rin and I were going to her place so her dad could take us to the movies. Why can't Naraku do it?"
Kikyo sighed. "You know how he is."
I sighed. Naraku was Kikyo's boyfriend. Together they had a one year-old son named Hiro. She was twenty-two years old and not married. Although I doubt that marriage would be good for her. She and Naraku always seemed to fight about something.
But this story isn't about my sister, it's about me, so I'm gonna tell it.
Finally giving in, I said, "Fine, I'll do it."
She smiled. "Thanks."
At that moment, the doorbell rang. Kikyo got up to answer it.
She called back to me, saying, "Kagome, it's Rin."
I quickly jumped from the table, going to the living room where Kikyo had already let her in. Rin was decked out in all these funky colors of her clothes. I, on the other hand liked to keep a low profile with my dress code.
"Hi Kags," Rin said.
"Hey Rin," I greeted back.
"So you ready?" she asked with a big smile, revealing braces that she was stuck with for another three years.
I nodded my head, grabbing my backpack. I said my good-bye to my sister and left with Rin.
