Rise and shine!

Beeeep………beeeep…..…..beeep! "OH SHUT UP!" BAM! These were the normal sounds that filled Kagura Akami's apartment at five o'clock. AM.

" Damn, why did I decide to go to this God-forsaken school anyway?" She said to no one in particular "Because" Kagome Higurashi, her always chipper roommate said as she bounded in "your going to be the best damn lawyer ever!" Kagura did her best to ignore her by rolling herself up in the covers of her queen size bed "I don't wanna be a fricken lawyer if the hours are this crazy!" she said, determined that if she went she would be destined for ruin, but the enticing smell of bacon and eggs wafting through the doorway,not to mention 'Kags' jumping on her, slowly (oh so slowly) convinced her to come out of her stronghold. "Kags, if you keep on jumping on me like that I wont be ABLE to go to school, much less get out of bed" Kagura said as she got up and went into the bathroom. Sighing Kagura surveyed her early morning appearance, red eyes stared back at her, these weren't your 'wake up after a bad night and you've got red puffy eyes' this was 'whoa your eyes are red! Dude that's awsomistic!' kind of red. "Hmmm maube I should get contacts…" "yeah yeah, hey look just get your butt in the shower and out, then, and then, only then, can you eat." "Thanks 'mother' Kagura thought sarcastically as she turned the shower on and got in, letting the warm water wash over her. Hmph, well if anyone wanted red eyes they could HAVE them!

Fifteen minutes later she was sitting at the kitchen table enjoying a hearty (I love that word! Pull me hearty pull!...erm) breakfast. "Come on Kagura, hurry up or we'll be late!" Kagome said as she rushed around trying not to be late on their first day of college. It reminded her of a long time ago, a time she didn't want to remember….

"Mommy, where are we going?" an eleven year old Kagura asked,

"YOU are going away for a while" her mother answered quickly as she packed.

"But why? Where's daddy?" she remembered it so vividly. Her mothers head shot up and the answer was short and to the point "Daddy's gone away."

She should have known after all the beatings and fights between her father and mother, after her mom hadn't been able to get a divorce she had given her daughter up for adoption with a fairly large sum of money for education. She was adopted by the Higurashis but chose to keep her own name, she grew up determined to become a divorce attorney, in order to be able to give women what her mother never had. Freedom.

"KAGURA!" Kagura just rolled her eyes as she got up from the table thinking, when Kagome get excited all hell breaks loose, just like that skiing trip, Kagura winced recalling the trip,I don't think the lifts are ever going to be the same, scratch that, I KNOW the lifts aren't going to be the same, ergh. She finished as she walked out to her purple '05 convertible mustang, where she smiled lovingly at the car, deciding that all the extra work was worth it. "Kagura, I know what your thinking but if you don't get in the cars not going to go anywhere, and we need to get somewhere so get in!" Laughing, Kagura got in and drove them to the famous Harvard University. 'oh yay' she thought as she saw some road racer speed by going about 90mph in a 40mph zone, his long silver hair streaming behind him, 'I get to go to school with some arrogant jackass rich boys who only rely on DADDY'S check book, this should be interesting' finishing off that thought she parked in the MacDonald's parking lot across from the main building. Turning to Kagome she said "Come on Kags, lets go get 'em!"
