Yeah so ShikiKira wanted me to continue I am making my version of this story while ValueMyHeart continues/edits hers. *waves* Hey Kira-chan!
The versions will be different though after the original writing (Chapter 1-9)
I'll post the first 9 chapters quickly since you are probably tired of it reading it who knows how many times now, but there will be a few changes... maybe. I know I did editing on this chapter.
Lost and Broken
Chapter 1
~Prologue~
At Kaibara High, Kagome, in her school uniform, watched everyone leave with a smile plastered on her face. It looked genuine as it always did.
Before the students left, most of them told her their good byes especially from the boys. The first day of school the boys saw Kagome with her long, waist-length, raven hair and ice blue eyes. They started referring to her as princess much as the girls did to a boy named Yuki. Kagome wasn't rude to them, but they irritated her so much. For once in her life, she just wanted something normal.
When the last student exited the classroom, Kagome's smile wiped off her face. It was replaced with a frown. Her eyes showed a deep sadness.
She did her clean-up duties in dead silence. Kagome kept glancing at the clock. She softly mumbled, "I need to hurry. I won't arrive on time otherwise." The miko used the chalk board eraser to wipe her name, in one swift movement, off the bored that indicated she was on clean up duty, before quickly putting it down.
Taking a quick glance at the clock Kagome cursed under her breath. She grabbed her brown school bag before rushing out the door. Speeding through the school halls, she never predicted that someone would be around the corner. Running around the corner she bumped into a figure.
Colliding into the figure they both fell down. Kagome opened her eyes only to see someone all to familiar. Who wouldn't be? The girls were always screaming of him. Not to mention that he was in her class. She fell on the school's 'Prince' Yuki. Yuki had dark grey hair and purple eyes. His features made him look princely, therefore his nickname. Kagome would have blushed at their position if she wasn't so determined to hurry.
She stood up apologizing at the same time. She didn't pay much attention to him as she continued to run to her destination. Kagome never noticed the confused and disbelief expression on his face.
Kagome ran across town until she arrived to a large building. This building was a hospital. Kagome entered the hospital only to be greeted by a nurse. Many of the staff knew the miko well because of her several visits. The closest nurse had a clipboard in her hand and spoke to the visitor. She said, "There you are Miss Higurashi. We thought maybe you had other plans today instead."
"Of course not! Souta is my main priority. Of course I would visit." Kagome left the front lobby to find her brother's room. Yes, her brother was admitted to a hospital. He has been unconscious ever since the incident. She visited a lot hoping that he would awaken. So far it seems like lost hope.
Kagome made it to the private room Souta was staying in. She approached his unaware form and dragged a chair from the side of the room to his bed side. She sat down. For the longest time, she just stared at her brother and speaking to him knowing he couldn't hear or answer. She grabbed his small, fragile hand and looked at him with teary eyes.
She remembered the day this had occurred to him.
Kagome locked herself in her room. She had been there all week. She would not even attend school. Her brother, mother, even grandpa tried to get her to leave but it didn't affect her. She was sad. She didn't want her family to see her detached form. She felt loss to the world.
A week before she had returned from her final battle. They won and that was good. Unfortunately it had a price. Once the Shikon no Tama was completed she was sent back to her time. The well sealed in the process. She couldn't see them any more. It tore her apart. They were like her second family. What hurt the most was what had happened during the final battle against Naraku.
Everything was going as planned. They were winning! Kagome was so concentrated she never saw the attacked aimed at her from another direction. When she did, it was already too late for her to avoid. Then the one thing happened she never wanted to see. InuYasha rushed to her and took the attack. Promptly saving her life. The side effect was InuYasha died as a tentacle pierced his heart.
It was too much for Kagome to take. She couldn't see Sango, Miroku, Shippo, or Kirara again. Most importantly the one she loved died before her eyes.
Her family tried to make her leave her room again, but it was futile. Kagome's mom told her they were going to Souta's soccer game and invited her to join them. Of course she refused. Avoiding her family soon became something she deeply regretted.
Souta, momma, and grandpa all took a taxi because they were running late. That day a transport truck crashed into that same taxi. The driver along with grandpa and mom died immediately. Souta had been in the crash too, but he lived though had been in an unconscious state ever since.
Kagome couldn't stand living in the shrine anymore. No matter how hard she tried, it just brought back too many bad memories. Her friends she can no longer visit, her dead love, and dead family. She decided to move to where her dad lived growing up, which was on the far end of town. Tokyo was a large city. Before she moved out of the shrine, she sold the place to another family. It wasn't like she planned on returning.
For three months she lived in an apartment. She had gotten a part time job as a waitress. Soon Kagome began to struggle with money; paying for her school tuition which she had just begun, apartment rent, food, and Souta's private hospital room. She just could no longer do it.
Kagome moved into the middle of a forest. It was deserted, so she didn't think that anyone would mind. She remembered her times in the Feudal Era. It only upset her more, but the scenery was also refreshing. After about a month living in a forest she saw a classmate move into a tent. Her name was Tohru Honda. She wanted to ask why she was living in a forest, but then she would have to speak of her situation. After some though, Kagome decided it was best to leave things be. She hid herself on higher ground, so she was never noticed.
She stared intently at her brother. "I would do anything for you, Souta. Please, just please wake up." Kagome leaned over the bed. Her head buried in her arm that now rested on the bed. She cried and cried, not thinking anything of it. She missed her brother. She just wanted him awake again. He was her only family.
Kagome cried on his bed sheets until a nurse entered and told the student that visiting hours were over. Kagome wiped away her tears and nodded to the polite nurse. She grabbed her bag that she had placed by the door entrance and left the hospital once again putting up her happy façade.
Already revising/editing the next chapter! Hope you review even if you've already read it before.
