Raise Your Voice

Chapter 1: Both Alone and Misunderstood

A little girl named Kagome Higurashi ran into her backyard and onto her swing set and cried as she watched a miraculous sunset. This little girl was half black and half white even though she has the trait of her mother's skin, kids didn't see the difference. The only trait she has from her father is her raven black hair.

Most kids thought she didn't fit in and as for the grownups, well…they didn't get her either. Today, her kindergarten teacher asked the class to draw a picture of there family. Her teachers were behind her as she drew and colored her picture. Then she came to her father…that's when things got ugly. She started to color him in a brown color. The teachers looked at her strangely.

"What are you doing?" One of the teachers asked as they looked over her shoulder. "You're coloring your father the wrong color."

"No I'm not…that what my daddy looks like." Kagome said as she turned around in her chair to look at her teachers. The teachers starred at her and then chuckled a bit. She turned around in her sit with her head down and continued coloring her picture. Trying not to cry. Now she was crying it out at home. She looked to the only living soul understood her. Her kitty cat, Boyou.

"Boyou, when I grow up I promise I'm never going to forget this feeling. I'm always going to remember what it feels like not to fit in and be misunderstood." She said to Boyou. The cat turned his head sideways. She smiled though her tears and then looked up at the sunset. She then heard a truck pull up at the next house. Kagome walked over to her fence to see who it was. She remembered that there was a for sale sign next to her house. She saw a car pull up next to the moving truck. She decided not to look at them.

'Probably just some other grown ups and their kids to make fun of me.' Kagome thought to herself then sighed. She turned around and sat back on her swing. She looked down at her feet as she swung back and forth. She stopped suddenly because she was too sad to push herself on the swing. So when she was sad she would sing one of her favorite songs. She got up off her swing and stood up and started to sing…

Inuyasha sprinted up the stairs to his new house. He went up to the door and unlocked it and pushed into it. He was dying to see how big his backyard was. Inuyasha ran to the back of the house and looked for the back door. He finally found it and opened to a deck. He walked onto the deck and his silver dog-ears tweaked. He heard someone singing. It was a little girl, about his age. She was singing a song. He looked over to the left of him and starred at her. The little girl had raven black hair that were in tight pigtails and chocolate eyes and a little bit of tan skin.

'She's kind of cute…' Inuyasha thought to himself. 'What the…what am I saying! She'd never like a half demon…' Inuyasha just continued to listen to here sing.

(A/N: This song is off the movie, Thumbelina)

"I know there's someone…

Somewhere…

Someone…

Who's sure to find me…soon…"

Inuyasha continued to stare at her. 'Wow she's good…I wonder if she would want to play with me…'

"After the rain goes

There are rainbows

I'll find my rainbow soon…

Soon it won't be just pretend

Soon a happy ending…

Love

Can you hear me?

If you're near me

Sing your song…

Sure and strong and…

Soon…"

"WOW, that was good!" Inuyasha shouted out to the girl. She screamed and ran behind a tall fat tree trunk in her yard. She peaked over a little bit to see if the boy was there. He wasn't. She came out from behind the tree and suddenly a little boy with silver hair, golden eyes, and cute little silver dog-ears jumped in front of her. Kagome screamed and ran behind the trunk again.

"Wait! I'm not going to hurt you…" Inuyasha said starring at the tree. Inuyasha's ears flattened when he got no response from the little girl. He turned around and sighed.

'Great…another one is scared of me…I'll never make any friends…' Inuyasha thought to himself as he led himself out of Kagome's yard.

"Have you come to pick on me?" Kagome said through tears. Inuyasha's ears perked up at the sound of her voice and turned around to face her. She spoke again. "Have you come to beat me up like all the other kids do?" She cried again. Inuyasha could only stare at her shadow.

"No…I just wanted someone to play with that's all…" Inuyasha said now fully face back at the tree. Inuyasha then saw her shadow stand up. Kagome came out from behind the tree and stared at Inuyasha.

"Hi, I'm Inuyasha." Inuyasha said as he stared at her.

"I'm Kagome…" Kagome said shyly.

"Hey…Kagome?" Inuyasha asked Kagome, as he got closer to her. "Why'd you think I've come to pick on you and beat you up when I don't even know you?" Kagome went shy and then looked up at him sadly.

"Because I'm half black, half white." Kagome said as she stared at the ground. Inuyasha stared back at her. His ears pinned to his head. "Some people beat me up and call me trail mix, and half breed…it hurts…I'm not even a demon and they call me that." Inuyasha looked at the ground. Feeling bad. He walked up next to her and put a hand on her shoulder.

"I know how you feel." Inuyasha said as he rubbed her upper back. Kagome now looked up at him. "People call me half breed because I'm half demon, half human." Kagome looked up at him.

"You're a half demon?" Kagome asked at she whipped a tear away from her eye.

"Yes…" Inuyasha said still rubbing her back. Kagome stared in his eyes and then she hugged him. In a friendly way. Inuyasha wrapped his arms around her.

'I may just have met him…but I know I can trust him…because he's just like me…" Kagome thought to herself as her held was held in his chest.

(A/N: What do you guys think? Well I love Mariah Carey and so there are going to be alot of her songs in this story so be aware of that! Review!)
