Chapter 1: "They're all sticks."

Eri and Yumi had been dragging me around Tokyo for the past three hours. Stopping at all these stores for skinny girls. Normal people would take my feelings into consideration. But Eri and Yumi aren't the sharpest tools in the tool box.

"Hey Kagome, come try this on." Yumi shoved a leather mini skirt in my face.

"As if I would ever try that on. I'm a size 30, I could never fit that."

She shrugged, sashaying away. I plugged my headphones into my ears. Trying my best to ignore the beautiful woman traipsing around the store flaunting their perfect bodies. I zipped up my sweatshirt feeling more and more insecure by the second. I looked down at my thighs, I could see all the dimples surrounded by cellulite poking through my leggings. I'd been fat for as long as I could remember. In middle school the other kids would make fun of me for having a double chin. The only reason people would even acknowledge my existence is to get close to Eri or Yumi, or some other attractive girl I was friends with. I was friends with all the pretty popular girls. I wasn't sure if they befriended me out of pity or if they actually liked me for me.

"They're all sticks... lucky bitches." I whispered to myself.

They're in a world of their own, untouchable, I would never fit in with them. That's when they walked in... Inuyasha and Sesshomaru Taisho. Inuyasha was the younger brother. He was lean, easy on the eyes, in an adorable kind of way, he wasn't very smart though. He was a raging dick, except for when he wasn't trying to get into some unlucky girls pants. Then, there was Sesshomaru. He was a walking god. Chiseled in every way possible. He wasn't exactly nice, but he wasn't mean either. He mostly kept to himself, even when he was around his friends... not like he would ever give me the time of day anyways. They went straight to Eri and Yumi... no surprise there.

I walked over to them. "Can I get the keys to my car, I'm gonna go wait outside." I didn't want to be in here any longer than I had to.

Eri tossed them to me, I spun around accidentally bumping into Inuyasha.

"Watch where you're going fat ass."

"Make me dumb ass." I shoved him. I wasn't one to take shit from people... not since that day.

He tried to shove me back, but Sesshomaru got in the way. "Enough."

Our eyes locked for a quick second. I rushed out of the store, I practically jumped into the car. He called me a fat ass... in front of Sesshomaru. I just might die from embarrassment. God I was such a loser, pining over someone who didn't know i existed till now. There was a tap on the window, part of me hoped it was Sesshomaru coming to check on me. Unfortunately, it was Yumi.

I rolled down the window. "What?"

"Go home, me and Eri are gonna go hang out with the guys."

"You don't have to tell me twice." I revved up my engine and made a u-turn in the other direction.

I stared at my naked body in the mirror. Reveling in my self loathing. Poking at my rolls, my stomach was so flabby my vagina was nowhere in sight. Hidden under a mountain of skin and body fat. I begged my parents to let me get surgery. Get rid of this weight they easy way. But no, do it the right way they said. What's the whole point of having parents who are well off if you can't get any perks. I sunk to the floor bringing my knees to my chest.

"No one will ever love me, looking the way I do."

I slumped against my toilet... then I had gotten the strangest idea. I flipped open the toilet cover, hunching over. I slipped my index and middle finger down my throat. My stomach clenched, while I spilled everything into the toilet. It felt uncomfortable at first. But after, I felt relieved... lighter even.

I jumped at the loud bang on my door. "Hey Kags you in there?"

"Uh, yeah just a second."

I threw on my robe, attempmting to hide my disgusting body.

I swung open the door. "Yeah?"

Her eyes darted around my room. "Everything okay?"

My sister was always to nosy for her own good. "I'm fine Sango."

Sango, was one of them. Smart, beautiful, perfect body. It's been like that since forever. I envied her.. I guess it made me an asshole to hate my sister for being perfect. But I didn't care. In this family I was the black sheep. Being overweight and unfriendly doesn't make for a good Higarashi, my mother always said to me. The other members of my family were peppy, gorgeous and kindhearted. The complete opposite of me. I was fat, mean and full of sarcasm. I didn't belong here and everyone knew it. They're all just to nice to admit it, at least not to my face. My eyes started to sting... I hated crying. I ran into the bathroom and shoved my fingers down my throat again. I did it for the next three hours until I was somewhat satisfied. Mostly because there was nothing left to throw up. If i kept this up.. I'd finally be skinny..

I'd finally fit in.
