Chapter 1. Fan meet
A young girl sat in her room crying. A bruise was on her face as she looked at herself in the mirror. Looking away she walked over to her small mattress on the floor. Lifting it up she smiled as she pulled out her laptop that she had bought behind her stepmother's back. Turning it on she smiled as she saw she had some email. Looking at it she smiled. She had been writing stories since she was little, as well as watching anime so she decided to put them both together and write fanfiction. Opening them up Kagome couldn't help but smile at the rare praise she got from this. But…one of them didn't fit with the normal review. One of them seemed like they wanted more. Looking at their address she clicked on their username.
Hey, Thank you for your review. Um…I …I know this will sound…a little weird, but….do you think….that you'll talk to me? I….really need to talk more.
Abused Orphan
Kagome sighed and continue writing the story that was somewhat similar to her own. She was half-way threw when an email popped up. Clicking on it she smiled.
Hey Orphan, Sure I'll talk to you. Meet me on this chat room and we can talk. Oh….I want to know though. Are you a boy or a girl?
Kagome typed. Girl…see you there…but…do you go to Shizomi High?
The person who got this message smiled white teeth flashing. Yes….I do. I have an idea of who you are, but I doubt you know who I am. : Lunar Mischief
Kagome smiled as she looked at the message. She was just about to type another message when she heard footsteps coming up the stairs. Quickly turning the computer off she huddled in the corner as she hid her computer. She just got it hidden as she heard the door handle jiggle. Her stepmother came walking in holding something behind her back.
"There you are you retched child. What do you think your doing here? You have to clean this house until it shines or you'll get a beating you've never seen before. And just for taking time out of not cleaning you'll get one now." She said slapping Kagome' across her face knocking her to the hardwood floor. Taking a mop from behind her back she turned it and started to whack her across the back.
Kagome didn't even cry out in pain as the wood hit her in the back hard. Ever since her mother died when she was 5, her father thought it would be best if her remarried so she could have a mother figure around the house. So…he met this bitch of a woman and married her. She had been abusing Kagome since she was 7 years old. Just old enough to be hit without getting hurt too much. But….when her father died at 8 he left a hidden Will to Kagome that she had kept hidden without opening it. Her stepmother beat her horribly after that. Her little brother Souta was treated like a king even if he was only 7 years old at the time. He loved Kagome but didn't know about the beatings.
Her stepmother, Tsumi, stopped beating her and threw the mop on the floor and the bucket on her head. "I want this whole house clean by tomorrow. We are having guests over." She said before leaving the room.
Kagome groaned and got up grabbing the mop. Walking down stairs she groaned. Their house was 3 stories high with fancy staircases and marble floors. In other words….it would take her all day and night to do it. Sighing she started in the dining room and worked her way around.
She was just finishing the second floor when the Grandfather clock rang out 2 in the morning. Kagome looked at it sleepily before starting up again. Moving on to the third and easiest floor she began again. Her hands were bleeding from sores and scrubbing and her knees were bruised from kneeling. Her back ached, as did the rest of her body as her head pounded with a headache.
Finally, 4 hours later she was done with the whole house. Walking back to her room she set the cleaning supplies in the closet and collapsed on her bed just as she heard one of the servants knock on the door. "Come Kagome….it's time to make breakfast."
She couldn't take it anymore. She just burst into tears. "Please…..please let me sleep for a couple of minutes." She said.
The servant looked at her sadly. "I'm sorry Kagome….but I can't. You know as soon as breakfast is ready you have to head off to school. Now come. If we are quiet I'll let you rest in the kitchen." She said with a smile. "Kaede's down there working already."
That perked Kagome up quickly. Running down the stairs she barreled into the kitchen and wrapped her arms around Kaede her bloody hands leaving prints on the apron. "Kaede! Please tell me you have something for me? Please…." She begged.
Kaede smiled. 'Yes Kagome. I got you something." Reaching into her pocket she pulled out an envelope and a small box. Opening the envelope Kagome smiled as she spotted some hard-earned money.
"Thank you Kaede." She said. Opening the box she found 2 necklaces with half a Ying-yang sign on it and the symbol for love engraved on it when they were both put together. "Kaede….I…I don't understand." She said looking up.
"You will when the time is right Little One. Now….here's some oatmeal. Go in the corner and eat and when you get done off to school with you." She said getting started on her Mother and little brother's meal. When Kagome was done eating she curled up in the corner and fell into a light sleep. To her it felt as if she had only slept for about a minute before she was being shook awake.
"Kagome come on or you'll be late for school. I had Rin run up to your room and get your laptop for you like she was grabbin' your sheets. I got your back all ready for you so all you have to do is head off." Kaede said with a smile. "Now hurry up. You still gotta walk those 2 miles. Your mom left about 20 minutes ago to drop Souta off and to go out to drink already." She said.
Kagome smiled and brushed off her baggy black pants and blood red sweatshirt. Running her fingers through her short black locks she gave a true smile. "Thanks Kaede. I owe you one. No bruises are showing right?"
Kaede shook her head as she patted the top of her head. "No Honey nothing's showing. I'm still upset you cut your hair like that though." She said running her fingers through her hair. "Now….get. You got an hour and a half to make it to school." She said.
Kagome smiled sadly as she hugged Kaede and Rin when she appeared with her backpack. "Thanks you guys. See ya later tonight." She said with a smile. Running out the door she felt the cool August breeze brush against her bare neck. Bowing her head she couldn't but remember when she had long hair.

Kagome was panting as her mother took a stick to her bare back. Her shirt had long ago ripped in half when her stepmother dragged her out of the kitchen and into the living room. When she felt the stick stop hitting her she looked up and tried to get away but the devil woman grabbed her long hair and started pulling at it. Pulling the 9 year old up by her hair she threw her into the wall.
"Now get out of my sights you little good for nothing brat!" she yelled.
Kagome took off up the stairs. Barging into her room she fell on her bed. After a few minutes she got up and walked to her desk and pulled out a multi-function blade. Opening it up she started for her wrist before changing and going for her hair. Putting it as close to her scalp she closed her eyes and moved the blade through her hair feeling it come loose with every pull. Falling to her knees she held her long silky strands that her father and real mother were proud of. "I'm sorry mom….I really am." She said crying as she threw her hair out the window. Leaning on it she cried not noticing a young girl just a year older than her walking by the house and looking up at her with a sad face.

Kagome sighed and kept walking. Looking up she spotted the school in the distance. Smiling just a little bit she took off running towards it. Crossing the street she heard a loud honking noise coming closer so she turned her head and spotted two bright headlights coming towards her……
