Author s Note: This is my first story I hope you like it if not please tell me why.

Chapter One

(Rins Prov)

The rain continued to fall in sheets as we made our way to my uncle's neighborhood. Mom was singing along to the radio and trying to get me to say anything at all. But I haven't spoken one word in over four years. Ever since that day my voice seems to be frozen. You must be confused by now, sorry, my name is Rin. I'm seventeen years old; I have waist length raven black hair and chocolate brown eyes.

I live with my mom; well actually I should say I live with my uncle and his family, in Colorado. Since my mom is dumping me on them so that she can take a promotion that is sending her to London. Mom decided I was too much trouble to take with her. Yeah, my mom's job is taking her to London. She'll be the boss in the new branch over there, but she told me that I'm going to stay here with my uncle! She claim's it's so that I don't have to deal with being teased cause I don't talk. But I know it's because she is tiered of me.

I once over heard her on the phone with one of her friends saying that it would be so much easier to move on if I wasn't around. I look just like my dad; the only one out of three kids to take dads looks instead of moms. Mom has short brown hair and gray eyes. My little brother and sister looked just like her. I'm a female version of my father. Mom used to love that.

Loved when everyone would say how I was most definitely my father's daughter.

Now she can't stand it. So she's dumping me on someone else and taking off.

I can't really say that I'm surprised; ever since I stopped taking it seems everyone has been walking out of my life.

Maybe I should tell you why I stopped taking.

Four years ago I saw my family murdered right in front of me. The only reason I'm even alive is because I was in the game closet when they broke in. I don't know what they wanted or who they were, but they killed my family. The police found me in the closet later, my hands still over my mouth my eyes locked on the three people on the lying on the living room floor. Four years later and still not a word has left my lips.

"Now Rin you are to be on your best behavior. I mean it, no pranks, no anything. You listen and do as you are told understand?" mom said trying to be stern.

I rolled my eyes at her orders. Sure I used to be a hand full. Always pulling pranks on people or making some sarcastic comment to something someone said. But like my voice all that stopped four years before and my mother knew this. Mom turned left at a stop sign and continued to give me orders that I let go in one ear and out the other. Finally we came into view of my uncle's house. A two story town house red brick it stood out in the rain. The lawn was neat and the flower bed in complete order not a weed to be seen. Of course it was late fall.

We pulled up to the curb and climbed out into the downpour, the rain intently socked me. I loved it. My mother on the other hand scowled at the rain from under the safety of her umbrella.

"Rin you need to use your umbrella. You can't afford to get sick." My mother snapped at me.

I of course said nothing. Muttering to herself mom started to the house. Not even three steps later the front door burst open and my cousin Kagome came running out of the house. Not caring about the rain any more than me. She ran strait to me and threw her arms around me for a very wet hug. Kagome was a few months older than me and also had black hair only hers wasn't as long as mine and her eyes were a light brown.

"Rin! Oh, it's so good to see you." Kagome whispered in my ear before she let me go to take a good look.

When we were little Kagome and I were always together. We are more like sisters then cuisines. As we got older that didn't change and after I stopped taking Kagome was one of the few people who didn't change the way they treated me. She let me be and just made sure I knew she was there if I needed someone. She is also one of the only people I will 'talk' to by using text or paper.

"I can't be leave you are going to living with us now and you'll finally be going to the same school as me. This is great! Now we can see each other every day." She said excitedly.

I smiled and nodded my agreement. Kagome smiled at when my mom cleared her throat she turned her head. As if she had just noticed that my mother was there.

"Oh. Hey Aunt Sue. How are you?"She asked.

"Fine, Kagome will you help Rin get her stuff while I go talk to your parent's?" Without waiting for an answer mom started walking to the house. Kagome looked at me and rolled her eyes smiling.

"Come on Rin let's get you stuff and get you settled in."

I didn't have much with me so with the help of Sota, Kagome's younger brother, we were able to get everything in one trip and avoid getting any wetter. I put the last box down and was getting ready to start putting everything away when my mom walked into the room.

"Well I'm leaving now so give me a hug."

I walked over and let her hug me wrapping my arms around her half heartedly in return. She pulled back to look into my eyes.

"You be good. Don't cause any trouble, do as you're told and take care of yourself alright?"

I nodded and she gave me a sad smile cupping my check in her hand. "I love you."

My answer was a smile. Mom sighed and stepped away from me. After she hugged Sota and Kagome she left and didn't look back.

I was still looking after her when I felt arms around my waist. I turned my head and came face to face with Sota. He was the same height as me even though he was tree years younger than me. He smiled and a little dimple appeared.

"I'm glad you are here Rin," he said.

I smiled and ruffled his short brown hair. He laughed and pulled away, his dark brown eyes dancing.

"Maybe I can get your help with new trick I came up with."

I cocked my head to the side and furrowed my eyebrows.

He understood. Shrugging he said, "You'll just have to help me sometime or wait and see. If you need any help unpacking come get me alright?"

Still confused I nodded and he walked out of my new room. Sighing I looked at Kagome who shrugged and shook her head in an 'I don't know' way.

It took us two hours to put everything in its place. And that was partly because my aunt Sara came up to welcome me. Kagome sat dome on my new bed and I sat down next to her, looking around. All my pictures were on the walls or sitting in their frames on the desk dresser and nightstand. My clothes were all neatly put away in the closet and dresser; all my school supplies were sitting on, near, or in my desk. The dresser was against the west wall next to the closet door. My desk was along the north wall next to the window – I would have put it under the window but it had a window seat so I left it alone – also next to the window on the other side was a book shelf that held the fifteen or so books I had brought with me. I pointed to it and looked at Kagome. "I know, I know, but you can get more," she said giving me a playful glare. My full sized bed is along the east wall and the nightstand is on the right side of it close to the south wall. The nightstand also held my stereo that was also my alarm clock – so I couldn't break it. My laptop was on my bed, silver against the sea green quilt. The walls matched the quilt only a shade darker. I liked it better than my old room.

"So do you like it?" Kagome asked.

I nodded and smiled.

"Good I worked really hard to make sure you'd like this place." Said a deep male voice from the door way. My smile grew and I was off the bed and half way across the room before he finished talking. My uncle was ready with his arms already wide open to catch me as I threw myself at him. He laughed and snagging my waist expertly he held me tightly. My feet were a good foot off the ground. "Mmmmm, it's good to see you honey," he said putting me back on my feet, but not letting go completely. Holding me at arm's length he looked me over. Unlike my mother Uncle Jay still loved the fact that I look like my dad. He liked to say I was much better to look at than dad anyway. When dad was alive it was a joke between them now it was a way to keep his memory alive.

"You get more beautiful every time I see you." I only smiled at him. He looked a lot like his brother only his eyes were the same light brown his daughter had.

"Come on you two it's time to eat."

Before he could leave I grabbed his hand and led him over to the book shelf. He took one look and smirked.

"Oh that's right I forgot the books. You'll just have to live without them." I smacked his arm and he laughed.

"Don't worry; we got some for you they just haven't got here yet." I smiled and shrugged to show him that I really didn't care. Putting his arm around me he led us downstairs to eat dinner. The next day – Monday - would be my first day at Demon High and I was a little nervous about it. Demon High was a school for demons and humans. My last school was only a human school since there were no demons in the area. It would be an interesting day that was for sure.
