AN: I have an announcement. SO STOP SKIPPING THIS DANG MESSAGE AND PAY ATTENTION!

This will be the last Imprint Story for a while. I will be busy with a few other fanfictions and I won't be able to update fast enough. I'll write another one sometime in the future, but I simply cannot continue for a long time.

Peace, love, and reviews!

Chapter 1

I'll make something perfectly clear. Noel and I are not related.

Sure, our birth certificates and the law says we are, but we're not. We're not even close. We're faaaaaar from being brother and sister.

For one, Noel has vampire pale skin and raven-black hair. Her lips are a perfect coral pink and her eyes are a dusty green.

I have russet red skin, black hair that's not nearly as dark as hers, dark brown eyes, and redder lips.

She loves action, I love books. She likes to practice archery, I love to write novels. She's perfect, I'm not.

Do you know what the biggest difference is?

She has this deathly obsession with vampires. I'm planning on becoming a werewolf in a year.

We're moving because of her. Edward told us she was spending most of her time asking questions about vampires. Mom and Dad fussed over her, trying to figure out if she was depressed, or if she was becoming a rebel, or even she was being influenced by living in a house full of vampires.

I looked over at her and read what she was writing.

"Vampyr," she wrote. I gasped.

"Mom, she's contemplating becoming a vampire again," I blurted out. Noel immediately turned her head to me, glaring at me menacingly.

"Stop acting like you're five," she hissed. Mom reached behind her and stole the notebook. I saw her expression turn livid.

Throughout my whole life, I never saw Mom so fierce. I saw hatred in her eyes, like she wished she never gave birth to Noel. I suddenly felt afraid.

This changed my life completely.

My mom began to yell at my sister, who bravely began to yell back. I admit, I felt some urge to get rid of her, but I didn't hate her.

"You're such a freak," I mumbled. Mom yelled at me. "You think it too! She's too different! Maybe she's not a Call at all!"

Noel opened her car door. Dad slammed on the brakes, and she made her escape.

"Noel!" I yelled. "Noel, come back!"

"Let her go," Mom ordered us. "Drive, Embry."

"Dad, Mom, no, Noel's out there!"

"It doesn't matter, she chose her path, now go!"

My dad looked at her like she was suddenly crazy but drove. Eventually, he began to act strange, too. Like he was suddenly realizing he hated my sister too.

And now I'm beginning to realize maybe I was a little harsh. I want my sister back. But... For how long will I last before I hate her, too?

Time will tell...

Freshman year. Goody.

I wished I had my sister with me. She had a way of turning the gloating stares into ones of jealousy.

Of course, it took some practice to acheive Jasper's talent for her.

But now I have to face high school alone. Bullies, cheerleaders, nerds... Where can I fit in?

I sit next to a cheerleader in class. She's pretty cool. She's not that stereotype the chews gum and wears short skirts. She likes to wear denim jeans and reads countless Japanese comic books. Some of them are even in actual Japanese!

She never talks to me. I try, but she always ignores me. When her cheerleader friends are around, she puts on a whole different personna. She hides the comic books.

"Candy!" one of the cheerleaders called out. She got out of her seat and hastily opened her backpack and stuck in her comic book. She barely noticed when one fell out.

"Candy, you dropped-" I alerted her, but she was gone. I picked up the comic and opened it.

Stop! You are reading this backwards!

What the-? I read the instructions and put it backwards, or right side up, according to the comic. I saw the title.

"InuYasha?" I read out loud. "Sounds stupid."

The picture on the cover showed a Japanese girl and a white haired boy with dog ears. O-kay...

I stuck it in my backpack and left the classroom.

I have one friend in school. His name is Heath. "Like the chocolate bar," he says. He likes to read and you can always find him in the library.

"Heath," I said as I sat next to him. Heath nodded his head and pondered over an Algebra 1 question.

"The y-intercept is negative fifteen, and the slope is five... The graph has to go diagonally to the right..." he mumbled to himself.

"Hey, geek, I'm talkin' to you," I hissed at him.

"Hmm? Yeah, what is it? Oops, I miscounted..."

"Have you heard of InuYasha?"

"Yeah. It's a pretty popular manga, if you're into demons and reincarnations and stuff... Eureka!"

Heath drew the graph and pumped his fist.

"I suck at graph questions! I did it!" He told me.

"Demons?" I asked.

"Yeah. I watched the anime. It was pretty cool. There's this guy, InuYasha, who needs a Sacred Jewel to turn into a full fledged demon because he's half-human. But it was burned with a dead priestess' body, so no demon could try to take it. Then someday in the future, a girl named Kagome falls into a well and is transported into the past, when InuYasha lived. She had the jewel in her body, and the action starts up again! They meet a few friends, like Miroku and Sango, Shippo, Kirara and Myoga the flea. Why'd you ask?"

"Candy dropped one of these and I couldn't get it to her in time," I explained, holding out the comic.

"Cool, she has the manga!" Heath flipped the pages.

"What's a manga?" I asked.

"Japanese comic books. Anime is Japanese animation. I watched the cartoon. This is the manga. It came long before the anime! You should read it."

"No, I'm giving it back to Candy in the morning!" I growled.

"Aw, c'mon, read it tonight. You might like it," he sang.

I laughed and left campus.

...

It was eight o' clock, and I was still awake. I groaned and rolled over in my bed. I need a book.

I reached into my backpack, reaching for one of my favorite novels. I lifted one and turned on the light.

InuYasha

I sighed. I guess one chapter wouldn't hurt.

I opened the manga and read.

AN: I LOOOOVE InuYasha! He's kind of hot, don't you think? Kagome's perfect for him!

For those of you who haven't read it, read it. It's really good. You can find them in bookstores all over the place. Or go to Amazon. I saw tons of InuYasha mangas there. I'm in the middle of the anime right now. When will InuYasha get his windscar? I'M IMPATIENT!
