Chapter 1: waking up

(Kagome POV)

"Your eyes are swallowing me!

Mirrors start to whisper, shadows start to sing

My skin is swallowing me! Help me find a way to break!

Time stands still!

The way it did before

It's like I'm sleepw-"

I slammed my hand onto the alarm clock and groaned. Fucking Christ.

"Kagome, time to get up." My twin brothers' voice filled my ears.

"Noooooooo I don't wanna…" I pulled the blankets over my head and hoped that he left me alone.

"Come on Flame, if you want chocolate chip waffles and bacon I suggest you get up." He said slyly. I could just feel the smirk on his face. Flame was the nickname Miroku gave me after we started playing a video game called borderlands one and two. I had a habit to use guns with fire and explode people with fire…I like fire.

"Are there really waffles, Miroku?" I mumbled, knowing his ass could hear me.

"Yes, Bankotsu made your favorite today." He said and sat on my bed. I sat up and looked at him. Miroku had his demon form on right now so his hair was to his waist and his greyish purple eyes were now a piercing gold color. The purple crescent moon that adorned his forehead was behind the white sun that showed it was day. His fangs stood out slightly as he smiled, showing his vampiric side and his ears pointed out to show his inu side. He was currently shirtless, showing off his tattoos on his chest and arms. He had a tattoo of a dragon going up his chest in a spiral. White angel wings were shown on his back as a tattoo but when he really needed them they came out. On his arms he had snakes and demons along with angel and gods on the other arm. I stretched and leaned against him.

"You're going with your friends today, aren't you?" I asked softly, already knowing the answer. Tomorrow is the first day of school, and this is the first time that I will be able to attend school with my brother. I have always been going to different schools than him up until this year. This was senior year and I wanted to go to school with Miroku, so after Bankotsu asked the school and Miroku, They let me into Shikon high. I do not have a brother complex by the way. It's just that I always felt weird being separated from him, we have been together since birth. I was always the outcast and him the popular, even though he dresses like me. I guess they don't bully at that school.

"Yeah, we will be getting the rest of our school supplies and clothes, if you want I could bring you home some stuff." He kissed my mark.

"Yes Please."

(Miroku POV)

"You're going with your friends today, aren't you?" I watched as my sisters' sweet smile turned into one of melancholy. She looked at me with sad silver eyes. She was in demon form, like me. Her black and red hair pooled at her hips, showing that it was longer than normal, maybe to her knees. Her eyes were normally a piercing light baby blue but in this form, they turn silver, making them like daggers. I could see her fangs trying not to bare themselves to me if I said yes. I looked at her more and took in how she looked. She only wore a tank top but I could still see her tattoos. She had a scythe coming from her wrist and the blade ended on her chest, under it were two names. Lily and Dan. Our parents. On the same arm she had a tribal tattoo. On her other arm she had roses and thorn vines going up her arms. On her back she had black angel wings. She was born with them and when she isn't using them in her human form, they just look like a tattoo. I kissed her forehead which adorned a black crescent moon in front of a red sun, along with little dark and red designed swirls going to her cheeks.

"Yeah, we will be getting the rest of our school supplies and clothes, if you want I could bring you home some stuff." I said with a soft smile

"Yes please." She said softly before getting up.

"Oh, you're wearing the red ones today." I inquired and laughed. It was normal for me to see her in her undies, she's my twin. I threw her tank top at me, long enough for my eyes to be covered and for her to put on a bra. I pulled off the tank top in time to see her slipping into her jeans. She already had on an Oogy Boogy Motionless in White t-shirt and black jeans. She learned to do quick change after she witnessed my cursed hand.

"What would you like me to get you?" I got up and looked through her drawers for a t-shirt and found one with suicide silence on it.

"Go to hot topic and get me a few more wristbands, another beanie, sweater, t-shirts and sneakers." She said and sat in front of her black vanity, straightening her hair slowly.

"Those are the main necessities, anything else you need?" I said and focused my energy onto my human form, making my hair grow shorter and my eyes turn a grayish purple.

"Oh! I need new corsets. You know my style and colors, just grab me about 3 new pairs and a new choker, the one you got me last year broke after I got into a fight with a chick before summer." She said the last words in a hushed tone, kind of sad. I hugged her from behind and looked at her reflection to show she was finishing up her eyeliner. Kagome only smiled and leaned into me, putting her arms over mine.

"Okay, my little Flame. I'll get those things for you." I whispered and kissed her head. The smile on her face, was that of beauty and happiness.

"Thank you, Roku." She grabbed a black and read beanie and placed it on her head right as a car horn honked.

"That's my ride. I better go before Inuyasha tells Sesshomaru to drive off without me." I laughed and tied my hair into a rat tail before kissing her forehead and grabbing her hand before going downstairs to see Bankotsu and Jakotsu setting out a plate for Kagome.

"Well, good morning my dear Ka-Go-Me" Jakotsu's said in his girly way. His black hair was pulled into a messy bun held by a pin.

"Morning Jak" Kagome sat down and started to eat.

"Miroku, your friends are waiting for you." Bankotsu said and handed me my wallet.

"I know bro, thanks for telling me." I smiled and put my wallet in my pocket and grabbed my skateboard.

"Kagome, you are all dressed and ready to go… Where are you going?" Jak asked and watched her quickly stuff her face.

"I'm meeting a few friends from my old school at the skate-park. There may or may not be a skate competition today and I'm hoping to get the prize money so me and Roku could start our band." She explained.

"Honey, you know we have more than enough money to pay for stuff like that." Bank said softly and pulled out his wallet.

"I couldn't ask you guys for that…"

"Then let us at least, help." Jak said causing us to smile.

"Thank you." We said together, making our twin telepathy go crazy. Kagome giggled and got up and grabbed her skate-board. Another honk was heard, longer this time.

"Shit, have to go now!" I yelled and took off running. Kagome took off after me, out the door.

"Wait! Miroku!" She yelled right as I opened the door to the car. Please note, none of my friends know I have a sister. Kagome does not know this. She quickly pulled me into a hug and I kissed over her hidden mark. (She turned human when she was straightening her hair)

"Be safe, Little Flame." I whispered and got in the car. The entire car that was normally filled with words, was filled with silence as I watched the car drive away and my little sister get into her truck. The car was filled with an uncomfortable silence.
