Everyone except the teacher is 18.

SUMMARY: An 18 year old girl named Kagome seems average. That's what it seems to the untrained eye. Naraku her evil step – father countlessly beats her up for his own twisted pleasure. Kagome decides to run away to Tokyo. There she meets new friend, new ememies, and a whole lot of adventure. Can Kagome come out of her shell and trust these new people? What happens when Inuyasha keeps hurting her feelings? What will she do when Kouga never leaves her alone?
"Ow! Please stop! No more!" pleaded a crying Kagome
"No! You were late from school today. Where were you?" asked an angry Naraku
"I told you I went to the library!" answered Kagome
"LIAR!" shouted Naraku
He kept hitting Kagome. She could feel the energy departing from her body. She was getting weaker by the minute. Soon Kagome's world went black. Naraku just got up and left to go beat up Kagome's mom, Rikina. Kagome's life wasn't always like this. She used to have a happy carefree life along with her mother. Let's go back ten years.
It was a bright morning. Kagome, Rikina, and Kagome's dad, Ketsu, were all in Kyoto Park. Just like any other happy family there, they were having a picnic. When they all came home there was a storm. The lights had gone. The whole house was pitch black. Also Kagome had gotten very sick. Ketsu decided to go get some medicine for her. First he was gone for 10 minutes. Then it soon turned to 20 minutes, and so on.
By morning when he hadn't returned the two girls were getting worried. The phone rang through the house. Rikina picked up the phone. On the other line was Kingi Hospital. Somehow while Ketsu was coming back from the store a drunk driver who had hit him. Currently he was in intensive care and didn't have long to live. Rikina quickly took Kagome to the hospital in the spare car. They quickly entered and rushed to the room Ketsu was in.
Kagome slowly came up to her dad and spoke, "Are you going to be okay daddy?"
"Kagome could you sing the song you love so much for me?" asked Ketsu
Kagome thought this was weird. Her father was in the hospital and he wanted you to sing to him. Still being young obeyed her fathers wishes. Kagome just started to sing.
Everyone's different
Even you and me
Still we seem alike
In many ways
We're destined to be together
Just you and me
I'm a human
You're a demon
It doesn't matter
To me
You're just like everyone else
In my eyes and to me
Ketsu smiled. His daughter had a wonderful voice. "That was very good Kagome. Remember to take care of mom. Good bye!" whispered Ketsu
Ketsu closed his eyes. The heart monitor went to a flat tone. Kagome and Rikina started crying. The nurses and doctors came in the room to keep his alive, but it was no use. Their tries were effortless. Ketsu was gone.
Years later when Kagome was 10 years old her mother got married to Naraku. He was giving, polite, and cared about Kagome. Rikina thought this could be good change for Kagome. So that summer Naraku and Rikina got married. A few weeks later Naraku became brutal. He would beat up Kagome everyday. Sometimes it was for punishment, and other times for pleasure. That was how Naraku came to be.
Finally after a few hours Kagome woke up. Kagome glanced at the clock it was four in the morning. She grabbed a bag nearby in her room. She filled it up with clothes, money, food, and an alarm clock. Kagome got the money from an after school job at the library. After packing up she slid through the front door and ran towards the train station.
Kagome got on the train and quickly fell asleep because of exhaustion. After a few hours the train stopped in Tokyo. She was jerked out of her seat and woke up. She went out of the train. There wasn't any place she could go so she went to the forest behind a huge white and black mansion. Later that day she went to a job application building. There she applied for the two jobs that were leftover. Before she left she grabbed a piece of paper and wrote down her schedule.
6:00 a.m. – 7:00 a.m. – sleep
7:15 a.m. – 7:50 a.m. – daycare
8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. – school
5:30 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. – daycare
8:00 p.m. – 3:00 a.m. – bar
3:15 a.m. – 5:30 a.m. – homework
She went to the little hut she made in the forest and went to bed. When Kagome woke up at around seven thirty at night, she had half an hour to get to the bar. Quickly she washed up at the nearby stream and headed towards the bar from the directions she got from the job agency.
