Prologue
Being a young adult can be really tough. It's the stage in your life when you're trying to finish school and/or establish your career, you're trying to understand who you are as a person, and you are trying to figure out how to be happy in life. While this is certainly not the case for every young adult out there, this was the case for Kagome.
Kagome is your average middle class girl. She grew up in a nuclear family up until her mid teen years where her parents went through a divorce. A few years after her parents initially divorced, her parents were able to find common ground amongst each other and now maintain a pretty good friendship.
At the end of high school, Kagome was in a serious relationship with a man about five years older than her. Her family was not really supportive of the relationship because of the age difference, but she seemed to be happy so they decided to let her figure her own fate out. When Kagome moved to Tokyo from her small home town of Kamakura, she moved in with her boyfriend of the time. From there, the relationship took a pretty big downfall. Her boyfriend had become very emotionally abusive and was sexually abusive as well. Mid way through Kagome's first year of University, the two of them broke up. Kagome had to move back in with her father for a few months and she had commuted back and forth from Kamakura to Tokyo to continue her schooling. Despite her best efforts, Kiara's GPA took a very big hit due to the emotional trauma her ex had put her through.
Kagome had still passed all of her classes, but barely, and was put on academic probation. She then moved back to Tokyo where she could be closer to school and find a new job. From that point on, Kagome had lived a pretty basic life, keeping on the down-low and focusing on her studies, bringing her grades back up. She had eventually bought herself a Honda Civic which had some modifications on it from when the last owner had it. Kagome had always been interested in cars, but never overly invested in them. But once she bought her civic, her world opened to cars. Cars became a big part of her life. She started to attend car meets and entered car shows. She did more modifications to her car and made new friends through her car including her best friend Sango who also had a civic.
Fast forward to today. Kagome, now 21 years old, has just finished her third year of University, with one more year left to do. During her third year she got a job at Buff It Collision Centre as a part time secretary. She loved her job here. While she was not allowed to drive any of the cars that came in since that was not part of her job description, she was able to see quite the variety of them and learn more about cars and body repair. Being in the body repair industry was not quite her career goal, but she certainly took interest in learning about it. The work environment was great as well, she loved her coworkers and it was just such a positive environment. Despite her being in a good place at work and at school as well, Kagome was not completely happy. The next year of her life presented quite a few ups and downs.

Authors Note: Wow. Hi everyone! It's been a VERY long time! I hope I haven't lost too many followers during my very long break. I kind of disappeared for a long time towards the end of high school. I started this account at the beginning of 9th grade. Now I'm finished University! Crazy!
I just want to start by saying I'm SO sorry to my readers who were waiting for my stories to be updated. I left a few unfinished and I feel so bad about that. School tho just got so hectic, I couldn't keep up with stories with all the assignments that had to get done.
But, now I'm DONE school. Permanently! And I have decided to start writing again :)
This story is lightly based on true events. I hope that this makes up for my disappearance. Enjoy!
