Hey you guys. I've had this bit in my computer for a while now. So I thought, huh, why not? So here it is. It may be a little silly in the beginning, so, just bear with me. It may not be the best of stories, but hey, I like the plot. So, without further adieu(totally spelled that wrong) I present to you,

Independent woman:

Summary: There is a group of girls at Tamiko High. They were all played by boys and now believe that they can live life without them. To fight depression, they formed a group that shuns boys. But, should they fall in love again, will they be heartbroken again?

Chapter one: Reliving memories again

A 17 year old girl with coal black hair sat crying in the corner. Everyone who saw her looked away and moved on. She was dumped. And humiliatingly too. She had been going out with a boy, Kouga, for some time now. She thought he loved her. She had slept with him cause she thought it would make him happy.

The next day, she came up to him, all bright and smiling as usual. He acted like he didn't even know her. She thought he was joking and came back. He was with another girl, Ayame.

She talked to him, and put her arm around his shoulder, and he pushed her away. "GO AWAY!" He shouted so that people looked up in shock. "I DON'T KNOW YOU!"

Her heart exploded into different pieces when she hit the ground. Ashamed that people had to see that, she ran. She ran away and here she is now, weeping, no one caring, her heart's pieces hiding from her.

Kagome passed her days going around by herself. Men snickered at her because they knew about the issue she had. Kagome could not smile anymore. Nothing could cheer her up.

Weak and now shy, she went to her friend, Sango, who faced a similar situation.

"Hey Kagome!" Sango said, not depressed at all, bright and chipper.

"Hi." Kagome said quietly.

"Oh..." Sango never saw Kagome so down. The last couple of weeks that Sango had seen her, Kagome had been so happy. Always talking about her boyfriend Kouga, how much he loved her, and she loved him. But Sango had seen this predicament before. She had faced it herself. Only Kagome didn't know how she managed to show her face in public again, and smiling again no less.

Sango led Kagome out to a walk. They walked down the ramp and to a park. Nobody was here at the moment.

"So. Tell me your issues." Sango said, more sincere then when she greeted her. Kagome looked down, tears threatening to break.

"Hey. I'm here. Was it that ass, Kouga?" Sango asked. Kagome nodded weakly. "I knew it. Broke up with you in the most humiliating thing possible, right?" Kagome nodded again.

Sango looked at her softly. She sat Kagome down on a bench. "Kagome, when was the last time you smiled?"

"Y-yesterday." Kagome said quietly.

"A true smile. One you didn't have to force." Sango asked more specifically.

Kagome opened her mouth, but nothing came out. When was the last time she smiled truly? Duh, before that humiliating break-up the wanted to forget so badly.

Sango closed her eyes. She always hoped that Kagome didn't have to join this. But if she wasn't going to smile because she was attached to a boy, what other choice did she have?

"Kagome, have I ever told you the reason I managed to smile again when I was so depressed?" Sango asked.

"No..." Kagome said, looking up at Sango with watery eyes.

"There was a group of girls. I think you've seen them. They dislike boys?"

"Yeah."

"Yes well, it turns out, they are all broken-hearted. Deceived by men. They came together, to not be held back by the oppression of men that betrayed them so. Think of it as a helper in depression. I didn't want to tell you this, because, I honestly don't believe that all men are bad, just most of them." Sango smiled at her little joke.

Kagome smiled a little. Sango patted her on the back. "I don't want to make you to do something you don't want to."

Kagome looked back down on the ground. "No, I..." She took a deep breath. "No, I- I do. I do want to join. It's nothing like a clique, though. Theres no stupid things you have to do," She looked up at Sango again. "Right?"

"Nothing like that. Your safe." Sango said, slapping her on the back playfully.

"Ok then." Kagome said, turning her hand into a fist. "I do want to join."

..:1 month later:...

A group of girls walked down the hallways. A couple of students looked up. Some shook their heads in a knowing way. Some, whom were boys, looked scared just by looking at them.

One of them, named Rin, a young girl of 14, brokenhearted from the same thing Kagome had, was holding a radio on her shoulders. On it was a song singing:

What you think about a girl like me?
Buy my own car and spend my own money
Only ring your celly when I'm feeling lonely
When it's all over please get up and leave.

Behind her, were two other girls. One 15 and the other 17. Kagura and Kanna. Kanna was beat up and raped by a gang of boys and had no expression on her face. Despite the tons of help she had gotten they were afraid that she wouldn't have any expression ever again.

Please don't call me baby
Cause I'll call you
Don't mean to hurt you feelings, got a lot to do
Cause I'm am my number one priority
No falling in love, no commitment from me

Kagura was used too many times by men and grew cocky and disobedient, especially to men.

All my independent women
Throw them hands up at me
And all my sexy women
Throw them hands up at me

All my money making women
Throw them hands up at me
All my baller women
Throw them hands up at me

In front of her, was Nazuna, a fifteen year old. Her arms folded and her eyes closed. She was harassed by a group of boys when she was already weak and upset when her parents died in a car crash. She had to live with it for 2 years until her male guardian betrayed her when she had come to trust him so much. She now despises men like the rest of them.


If you feel it
Throw them hands up
Where them hands at?
If you feel it?
Where the ladies?
Where my homegirls?
Where my females?
Where all my women?

Sango was in front of all of them. She had no expression on her face.

How you feel about a girl like this?
Try to control me, boy you'll get dismissed
Do what I want, live how I wanna live
Buy my own diamonds, and pay my own bills

Please don't call me baby
Cause I'll call you
Don't mean to hurt you feelings, got a lot to do
Cause I'm am my number one priority
No falling in love, no commitment from me

Kagome was in front of all of them. She now looked completely different. Instead of her chipper face before the break up, or her depressed face after the break up, she looked like a serial killer. There was no mercy in he face just like the rest of the girls. It looked scary now that she lifted and showed her face for the first time in a while.


All my independent women
Throw them hands up at me
And all my sexy women
Throw them hands up at me
All my money making women
Throw them hands up at me
All my baller women
Throw them hands up at me

Kouga was with Ayame and some friends, laughing with his arm around Ayame's waist.

Kagome walked right up to them boldly and asked Kouga, "Do you remember me?"

"Uh, you were the wierdo who thought you were my girlfriend, right?" He said. His friends behind him laughed.


If you feel it
Throw them hands up
Where them hands at?
If you feel it?
Where the ladies?
Where my homegirls?
Where my females?
Where all my women?

The other girls stood up. Nazuna and Kagura got in front of her and went up in his face. "She WAS your girlfriend you dumbass. But then, girlfriends are just objects to you right?" Kagura shouted.

"We have the willpower and the right to kick your ass right now." Nazuna yelled after her.

Kagome put her hands on their shoulders and they backed down. "This is my fight, I'll deal with it." Kagome said quietly. Kagura and Nazuna lowered their glare and returned to behind her. They were only there for moral support. If Kagome doesn't deal with it on her own, then she'll never feel better.


How did you feel about this groove I wrote?
Hope you got the message ladies take control
Don't depend on no man to give you what you want
Keep that in mind next time you hear this song

"I deserve an apology Kouga." Kagome said. His friends laughed and Kouga grinned in a smugly.

"I don't believe I do." Kouga said. And then he whispered in her ear so no one could hear him. "It was your choice and I belive that if I ask, you'll do it again."


If you're independent
I congratulate you
If you ain't in love
I congratulate you
Do them boys like they used to do you
If you pimp him
I congratulate you

She pushed him away. "There's no way in hell." She growled.

"Oh boy, she's angry." Kouga mused. "Whatcha gonna do, flash me?"

"Oh he did not." Sango muttered to Rin. Every girl in that group looked like they would beat this guy up if only it was Kagome who had to deal with it on their own.

Kagome balled her fists. "If anything, your the man whore." Everyone oohed.


All my independent women
Throw them hands up at me
And all my sexy women
Throw them hands up at me
All my money making women
Throw them hands up at me
All my baller women
Throw them hands up at me

Kouga blushed deep red and growled. Rin turned up the music.


If you feel it
Throw them hands up
Where them hands at?
If you feel it?
Where the ladies?
Where my homegirls?
Where my females?
Where all my women?

If I hurt your feelings boy
I'm sorry I didn't mean to hurt you
I thought you knew
I got no time to fall in love with you

Kouga then smirked again and was about to say something more to regain face but Kagome's anger ran over her and she punched him square in the face. He stumbled back a few steps then fell on his back.

Everyone who was watching went "Ohh..."


All my independent women
Throw them hands up at me
And all my sexy women
Throw them hands up at me
All my money making women
Throw them hands up at me
All my baller women
Throw them hands up at me

"Oh yeah, thats showing the little jerk." Sango cheered and Kagome high-fived all the girls there. Kouga, holding his nose, ran off, trying desperately to hide his bruised dignity.

"If all guys are like that punk, I'm gonna be by myself for a looooong time." Kagome declared.

"Amen girl." Nazuna said and clapped her on the back playfully.

Kagome laughed and took the radio from Rin. Rin rubbed her shoulders. "That things heavier then it seems. Especially after a while."

"But don't expect guys to understand weakness and sensitivity." Kanna said. Everyone nodded and walked down the hallway.

Three pairs of eyes followed the girls until they turned the corner.

"Oh... we're not that bad." A young boy of about 18 in a purple hoodie with black sleeves and jeans said and leaned against the lockers. "That Sango seems like such a nice person. I wish she'd go out with me."

"But they hate men of all kinds. And that's the kind of behavior that makes them hate us." Said a 19 year old that wore a white hoodie that had red spot of cloth on the sleeves that was decorated with small red dots and khaki cargo pants. He stood with his eyes closed and his arms folded. "But they seem to have the strength of independence that I like."

"Your not doing much better moron. Stupid Kouga. How dare he make fun of that new girl. Straight punch to the face. That girl I like." A young man of about 17 that wore a red hoodie and torn jeans. As he talked about the attack Kagome did, he mimed her attack to the air and accidentally rammed some guy in the side of the head. The guy yelled in pain and punched the boy in the cheek and ran off.

"Violence seems to follow you everywhere, doesn't it little brother?" The eldest one mused.

"Shut up!" The youngest one yelled.

"But he is right." The boy with the purple sleeves put his two cents in, not trying to take sides.

"You too!" The boy with the red hoodie shot back.

"But it is true. Well, we better get to class." The one with the purple hoodie said to defend himself.

"Stupid jackasses..." The youngest one muttered, grabbing his books and following the one with a purple hoodie while the his older brother made his way to his own class.

It's silly right? Ah, well I think I like the plot. It's my first fic with Sesshomaru in it. I'm really scared to do so in the first place because I'm afraid he'll be out of character. But, I'll never know if I don't try, right?

Well anyway, I'm sorry for those who like Kouga, I needed some guy for the jerk boyfriend, but... Naraku had another part, and Bankotsu was out of the question. And many other characters had many other reasons why not to be. And the song was Independant by Destiny's child. I might do something like that in other chapters but I'm not totally sure.

Thank you for reading, and please review. If your going to correct me on something, please be gentle. I already have a small ego. Oh yeah, if you guys are waiting for any of my other stories to be updated, I'm going to go to Australia for a while so I won't be able to. Read my profile for more information. Thank you and good day.

Alena Rio.
