How A Hero Is Made
Chapter 1
2 Years Ago:
Kagome smoothes on her lip gloss and checks her reflection in the mirror. "Perfect." She smiles and winks at her reflection and stands up grabbing the jacket to her uniform. "This will be a fabulous Freshmen year." She says as she steps out of her bedroom into the hallway. As she passes the kitchen she says, "Bye mom! I'll see you this afternoon." "Bye Honey! Have a great first day of high school. You'll have to tell me all about it when you get home." Her mother smiles as Kagome nods and walks out the door. Kagome walks down the sidewalk and turns 5 corners before making it to the school yard. It's great living so close to the school. I don't have to walk nearly as far as I used to. "Kagome!" Her three friends Eri, Ayumi, and Yuka run up to her and hug her. "Hey guys what's up!" She responds with a huge smile on her face. "Can you believe we're finally in high school!" Eri says jumping up and down happily. Ayumi and Yuka nod there heads and decide to join Eri in celebration. "YAY!" Kagome smiles in amusement and then starts to walk toward the doors to Tipton High. The four girls walk together to the front office where they wait in line for a single piece of paper that will tell them what their classes are.
Lunch Time
Kagome is sitting surrounded by the most popular people in school and her best friends. A girl named Lana leans over to her and says, "So how does it feel to be in high school?" Kagome smiles and says, "It's about the same. I'm just as popular here as I was in middle school." She laughs. Lana laughs too and responds, "Yeah, that never changes. Unfortunately neither do the geeks." She points over to the far end of the lunch room, where science nerds and math geeks were sitting. "And also those vile demons," Lana says with venom dripping from her words. "I can't believe they let the demons in this year, I mean what is this world coming to when demons are allowed into the same schools a humans. And Half-Demons, I'm sorry but that's just wrong. Demons shouldn't be allowed in the same city as us, non the less the same house." Lana smirks evilly and turns back to Kagome. "What do you say we go over and give the demons a warm welcome?" Kagome smiles and nods. "This doesn't feel like a good idea but, I can't not do it. It would ruin my reputation." Kagome thinks to herself. The two girls make their way over to a table full of demons. "Hey you demons! How are you all liking the first day so far? Have you guys made any friend yet outside of each other?" Lana says giving the demons a stern look. "Because just to let you know, it's not going to happen. Sorry but I feel the need to tell you as an upperclassmen and all, that you shouldn't hold your breath. You guys are weird and no one likes you. So why don't you all just go back to where you came from. You know the really hot place ruled by a guy with a pointy tail. I'm sure he misses all of you." She smiles evilly and begins to laugh. Kagome laughs too and says, "Yeah so why don't you guys give it up and go home. Because this cities humans are never going to get along with demons. So I'd leave if I were ya'll" Kagome smiles and turns around. Her and Lana make their way back to the popular table. Lana holds her hand up and say, "High five girl that was awesome! You are now officially one of us. You popular girl and you always will be." She smiles as Kagome high fives her and they start talking about the upcoming year.
The Next Semester
Kagome, Lana, Eri, Yuka, and Ayumi, all walk down the hall. People stop and stare and wish that they were as popular. The five girls turn the corner and see the demons all talking to each other. Lana smirks and Kagome looks over to her and nods. They all head over to the demons and say, "You guys are so stupid. You haven't left yet? Wow maybe we weren't tormenting you enough. That'll change though," Lana says. Kagome laughs. "Yeah why don't you loser just get out now before you get your feeling hurt. Oh wait a minute! Demons don't have emotions! I forgot." Kagome fakes a pouting expression and then starts laughing. "Good one girl!" Lana turns around and starts to walk away. Kagome starts to turn after her but something shiny catches her eye. She looks back as the demons named Mikey pulled a gun out of his back pack. Her eyes widen and she gasp. Lana turns back around and sees the gun aimed at her. She shakes her head and say, "No." Mikey pulls the trigger and the bullet hits Lana in the chest. Everyone in the hallway turns toward the sound of the gunshot and they start to run. Lana falls to the floor and a puddle of blood surrounds her body as her eyes glaze over. Kagome eyes widen as she screams. Mikey turns the gun toward himself and pulls the trigger again. Kagome's gaze catches Mikey's as he breathes his last breath and the bullet hits him in the head. She tries to scream but nothing comes out. She sinks to the floor and tears fall from her eyes. "This can't be happening. No no no!" She cries as she looks from Lana's body to Mikey's. Everything was going in slow motion for her. She knew what had just happened but she couldn't believe it. "This is all my fault!"
