Chapter one
"Mom says I have to be nice." I complain "I don't know why I have to deal with her, she's your ex!" "Yea I know I knew her first, yes I know she is like my best friend."
"Why can't she visit you?" I grimaced at the angry words flowing into my ear.
"Believe me, I most certainly will call while she's here, and I'll put it on speaker too." "Well you better pick up the damn phone, or I won't speak to you for a month." "I can't hang up on you? Really?" Without another word I hit the end button on my cell phone. Just another day in paradise for little miss Kagome Higurashi. Koga, my now long-distance boyfriend spent the last hour yelling at me for my mother inviting his ex-girlfriend Kagura for a three-day visit. I've known Kagura for years now, we met in middle school, but she moved away when we entered high school. That's where I met Koga. Tall, dark handsome, every girl's dream….until you saw his attitude, and the fact he isn't always that faithful. Like when I moved away last year, and decided to dump me for my friend. For three weeks he dated her, then dumped her and crawled back to me, and of course I took him back, now he was pissed because Kagura was coming. I frowned at the mirror.
"Well they can go to hell." I was determined to enjoy saying goodbye to my friend Eri, the reason of Kagura's visit, if it killed me.
I smiled as the red-eyed beauty stepped through the terminal gate. I didn't blame a single boy for wanting to date her, a single boy that is except for Koga. Kagura's messy black hair, and blood-red eyes just had something about them, that made anybody want to know her more, not to mention she was like a model compared to me. Kagura saw me and ran over, she began talking a mile a minute. It had been five years since we saw each other last, and apparently there was a lot to catch up on. As we walked back to my car, she popped the question I was hoping she wouldn't ask.
"So how's Koga?" Technically he went to her school, which was about 10 hours away from me, he moved there second year of high school, and about a week after we started going out, but we decided to try to make it work. So now we're were left with on again off again relationship. "Um…he's doing good. How's Sesshomaru?"
"Wonderful, it's a shame though he couldn't come. But he didn't want to run into you-know who." I frowned.
"Is he back from traveling already?" I asked.
"Yup, hopefully we won't run into him right?" Kagura replied, getting into my rather nice blue Ford Focus. I turned on the car,
"So um…" I hated asking her this, but I needed to know. "Has Koga done anything lately?" Kagura looked at me for a moment.
"Besides getting drunk every night, and coming to school with a hang-over, nothing that I know of." I sighed inwardly, like I said Koga was cute, but not to be trusted anround anything wearing a skirt.
"Wake up sleepy head, mom wants you." I groaned as Sota, my younger brother, called. I glanced at my phone, it was 7 am. Not that I wasn't used to getting up that early, but I didn't get to sleep until 3. Kagura and I spent most of the time talking. Luckily I wasn't driving today. I pulled myself out of bed when I heard my mom's fottsteps outside my door, she peeked into my room.
"Kagome, why don't you wear that cute black skirt you brought last week?" I smiled sleepily.
"Planning on it." I said. Even though I was 17 mom still treating me as a child, but that's a good thing right? When I walked down the stairs sometime later I was wearing a flirty blue blouse, and my new black skirt that reached my knees, my black heels were still in my hand.
"Morning Grandpa, Sota." I said, sitting at the table. My father died when I was really little, since then we've been living with my grandfather in the old shrine. I had to admit, it was pretty cool living in an ancient shrine, it wasn't so cool that any friend that walked through the gates was bombarded with the history of it by dear ole Gramps. Kagura walked in with a sundress that faded from white at the top to pink at the bottom.
She smiled weakly at me. She wasn't much of a morning person. Oh well!
"So you girls ready to go?" Mom said, walking in the kitchen with keys in hand. I nodded and placed my dishes in the sink. I grabbed a brush, my heels, and dragged Kagura out the door, shutting it behind me.
"See you two later!" I called back. Kagura and I piled in the back seat of Mom's Toyota, and blasted Lady Gaga and Nickleback on her Ipod. It was a tight fit for a three hour drive, but music always makes things better!
It's a short chapter, but things will get better I promise
