*A/N My goodness I'm so ecstatic! I truly cannot believe the response I got to the last chapter! Six following, three favorites, and three reviews in less than 1 day?! I got so totally juiced I just had to start typing the next chapter. I am now incredibly inspired, thank you all! And happy holidays!

Growing up, the twins were… rambunctious. Litanna couldn't know how to handle them. Their limitless energy drove their mother insane! Although she noticed that when they went out in public; they talked to no one. Perhaps it was because she dressed them effeminately. But the worst day by far was when the first day of elementary school arrived. They stood silently. She could still see them to this day, linked hands, closed mouths, expressionless faces. They walked silently into the room, no emotion. They said a word to no one; they simply walked over to a set of chairs and sat down, staring at the wall. They didn't even say goodbye to their mother.

Their moms PoV

Dear Diary,

I will never forget that sight. My precious two boys, all I had in this world, soundlessly plodding into the room, hand in hand. I could not imagine what they might be thinking. It brought a tear to my eye to see how fast they were growing up. It seemed like only a few days ago she had brought them home from the hospital. Could they really be in Kindergarten already? I wonder just how long it will be before they are ready to let go off each other and go off on their own and be individuals. They are like a single person; speaking in synchronization, matching footfalls, acting as a single body. What will happen to them next, I wonder? What could the future possibly have in store for them?

Litanna

Middle school was a horror for the young InuYasha. The other kids stared at him, and he didn't know why. They were curious at first, but their curiosity soon turned to wariness. He was exiled, excluded from everything. Met with glares and hatred, how could anyone maintain a personality full of anything other than bitterness? Until the move.

Nekozawa lived in the darkness. He lived for the darkness.

"Who can solve this equation?" A multitude of hands flew into the air. "Let's see… who really wants to solve it?" I did. I was always a wiz at math. But it's not like I could raise my hand. With my brother sitting emotionless next to me, I just couldn't summon the courage to do something apart from him. I didn't let him see. I didn't let them see. I just couldn't bring my raw emotions to life like Hikaru could. I kept quiet like the child everyone expected. And, like always, I sat emotionless as someone else answered the question.

The door opened and a child entered. He seemed very strange to us all, wearing a black hood like some kind of spook.

"Hikaru," I whispered. "It's a vampire!" The class exploded in giggles as the strange newcomer was led to the seat on my right side. I inched closer to my brother like I was scared of being bitten and clasped my hands over my neck, to the enjoyment of the rest of the class. The strange boy stared at me with rigid intensity. I shifted uncomfortably in my seat and tried to avert my eyes, to no avail. I hoped the newcomer wouldn't be a new student in our kindergarten class. The boy's dark hair looked greasy and dirty, which didn't seem to match his chubby childhood face. He was a beautiful child, as pretty as any guy can talk about another guy. Beautiful? What's wrong with me? He's a creepy little kid! And he's still staring at me! "Hikaru, the scary vampire is looking at me!" Then he spoke, and as he spoke, he pulled a tattered-looking cat puppet from the depths of his robe.

"You better stop making fun of me! Just watch! If you do, then Beelzenef The Curse Doll will put a curse on you! I swear! You better not!"

The class stifled laughter at the strange little boy we soon came to know as Nekazowa. I kept sneaking glances at him the rest of the day. He never looked back.

"Kagome Higurashi, graduating with highest honors, please step forward." I was somewhat nervous, hearing those words. I had been waiting to hear those words my entire life. I was completely frazzled. I just knew I was going to trip on my long robe. But this was my moment. I had studied like crazy to get here, battling imaginary monsters in my dreams along with the dog-eared guy. I had no idea who he was, or if he even really existed. All I really knew was that he would not get out of my dreams. I began my assent towards the podium. I wanted to hear those words again. "You Graduate."

"Unfortunately, I will probably never hear those words," I muttered to myself as I sat up in bed and wiped the sleep from my eyes. I thought back to my dream. I had seen my brother and grandfather in the crowd, but my mother was nowhere. I remember searching the crowd. I wondered where she had gone. "My dreams are getting pretty messed up. I keep switching between thinking of mom and dreaming of the dog eared guy. I was starting to think of him like that. One word: The-Dog-Eared-Guy. I really don't know what my mom has to do with anything. I've never thought that she could be gone. I mean, there was her whole I-passed-out-during-your-birth story she's never let me forget. And of course there was that whole cream-cheese accident that I'm not allowed to mention. But other than that, my mother has always been here for me. I guess I just never thought about her as a person like anybody else, perfectly capable of dying. These dreams have made me appreciate what I've taken for granted before it was too late. My mother is my constant companion, my rock in a tough place, my best friend. I thought to myself, what would I do without her?

As I sat down at the breakfast table, where my idiot little brother, Sota, decides to share a story with everyone.

"I went past your room last night, and I heard you talking in your sleep again!"

"Really?"

"Yes, you were saying, "Oh Thank you, thank you. I really don't deserve this, oh it's so beautiful!" Over and over again. Who were you talking to-your boyfriend?"

"That's ridiculous; you know I don't have a boyfriend. I was actually dreaming about mom."

"Mom? Again? How many times have you dreamt of her this past weekend? Jeez, she's only been gone for a few days!"

"I dreamt I was at my high-school graduation, and I got my diploma. But mom wasn't there, even though you and Grandpa were… I don't know it was weird. But still somewhat nice, I mean the graduating part. You know I'm starting to think we'll never find a school for me to attend. I mean, haven't we looked at every school in the surrounding area and none of them are even almost suitable.

We had been looking frantically for a high school ever since we received a letter in the mail stating that the high school I had been about to apply to had been shut down! Figures though, I look forward to going to this school for my entire life, and the year before I go there it's shut down. Figures. I had the worst of luck, I wonder if it's hereditary.

"I just hope you find one so I'm not stuck with you during the day," Sota said, flipping through the mail. "Oh look! Kagome! It's a letter from your cousin, Renge!"

"Renge? I haven't heard from her in ages! I wonder what she could possibly want to contact me for…" I tried to get the envelope but Sota jumped out of the way, laughing. I chased him around the table in circles until he finally agreed to let me see it.

"You can see it… But only after I read it out loud!"

"Alright, go ahead, but if you get grossed out by girl stuff you can't complain."

"Yeah Yeah." He cleared his throat.

Kagome,

How have you been doing? I heard from a contact that that school you applied for shut down, so I took the liberty to go ahead and send in an application in your stead for the school I attend. You've heard of Ouran haven't you? Our host club is legendary! You should totally come and join, because you were accepted! Teehee, you should get your acceptance letter soon! I had to pull a few strings, but you're totally in! You have to accept, because when else will you get another chance to go to an elite school like Ouran? Auntie Mabel said you can come and live with us for a while as it's so far away! I'm clearing out the guest bedroom now, but you can always have sleepovers in my room if you want to! There are so many interesting people here that I know you would just love to meet! And don't forget you can always go back to your house on vacations and stuff! So just think of it as a sleepaway camp, only much longer, and you learn stuff, and…well you know, its school. And I haven't seen you in such a long time, it'll be great to hang out again! I can't wait to see you here!

Kisses,

Renge

"But Dad! What do you mean we're moving! This was mother's house! We can't leave now, not when she has just barely gone!"

"I understand how you feel, but there are reasons. First off, I know and you know how hard you worked to get this scholarship. And we also both know that you are never going to get an opportunity like this again! And thirdly, I think it would be good for both of us to get away from here for a little while. Too many memories. I have a proposal. Come with me for three years, and if you still don't approve we can move back after that. What do you say?"

"I guess, but I still don't know how exactly you expect me to approve of this."

No one's PoV

The silver doors gleamed as they opened for the first time that school year. They stood open, empty, awaiting the onslaught of students that would soon ravage the hallways. They did not recognize the eight groups of students that filed in separately, without even an inkling of how their destinies would soon intertwine, and how each would soon become a major component in each other's lives.

*A/N I hope you all enjoyed this chapter! I'm kind of excited, getting this up, so I wanted to make a quick shout out to you awesome people out there, the people who favorited, followed, and reviewed! For the reviewers,

Millions of Blue(- Congratulations on being the first reviewer! And no I changed my mind about Kagome's mom… but what about those dreams? Possible foreshadowing? ^O^

Ain'tgotnone- I'm sorry if you thought the first chapter was a bit too weird, I hope you liked this one a bit better. Please keep in mind I wrote that chapter about two years ago, and just now created this new account and finally posted it. I'm sorry if this story isn't exactly what you're looking for but it can't be helped, I can't improve if you all don't tell me what to work on! ^-^ So I thank you for your opinion, even if it was negative I think even the negative reviews help me to better myself. So please review no matter what you have to say. Hearts, hugs, flames, advice and corrections welcome!
