A/N: okay I am apologizing profusely for not updating in like a year (ducks from flying objects). This will be short so we can get right to the story, but I would like to thank everyone who updated it really meant a lot to me and compelled me to write this chapter. This chapter is dedicated to my reviewers, though few, they are hugely important to me.

Chapter 2: A Rocky Start to a New School
' "Ha ha ha, it was your fault they all died," a deep masculine voice rang out from the dark. Hearing his voice caused a shiver of fear to run through Kagome, she turned to run but found she was staring at a pair of glowing red eyes. "You can never escape Kagome, no matter where you go" that same voice laughed out. Kagome turned to run in the opposite direction but crashed into a wall and fell back. Instead of looking at a wall though, she was staring at the figure that belonged to the red eyes. He reached out to grab her and she let out a piercing scream.'
Kagome sat up in her bed breathing heavily and drenched in sweat. She realized her alarm was beeping, signalling that it was time to get ready for school. Getting up Kagome, keeping one hand on the wall for guidance, made her way to the bathroom attached to her room. Quickly she showered and brushed her teeth. Back in her room Kagome found her dresser and read the labels for the clothes in each drawer, ' thank goodness while I was in the hospital I learned Braille, or I would probably dress myself like a clown.' She thought with a sigh. Once dressed, which was made difficult due to her broken arm, Kagome grabbed her bag with her computer in it and folding walking stick and headed out to the kitchen.
"Kagome ye are up, would ye like something for breakfast." Kagome recognized the voice of her grandmother Keade. "No thank you Keade" she replied in a small voice, the nightmare she had still troubling her. The same nightmare she had, had every night since the accident, she was missing sleep because of it to. "Keade, are you driving me to school?" Kagome asked hesitantly, she had been wondering this all morning. "No child, I asked our neighbour is she would walk with ye to school. She is ye age and goes to the same school." 'Great more people I need to rely on to do things.' Thought Kagome. Just then, the doorbell rang,
Dinggg Donggg
Keade got up to answer the door, and Kagome followed at a slower pace. Kagome heard a cheery voice say hello, then Keade introduced them. "Kagome this is Sango, she will be walking with ye to school now." "Hey" said Kagome. "Hi Kagome, are you ready to leave now" that same cheery voice replied. Kagome nodded and headed toward the door, Keade stopped to give her, her bag "I put ye lunch in it," and then Kagome was out the door and on her way to school being led by Sango.
They continued to walk silently for a while until Sango stopped Kagome and told her they were at school. "Hey Sango, what does it look like." Asked Kagome. Sango stood silent for a minute, then remembering Kagome was blind, linked arms with her good arm and slowly led her to the school describing things about it. 'Wow it was like she forgot I was blind, she doesn't seem to mind at all though. I hope we can be friends.' Thought Kagome as Sango continued to describe things to Kagome explaining they had about ten minutes before the bell would ring signalling to get to class.
They were headed inside to put their stuff in their lockers when someone pushed passed Kagome, hitting her broken arm and knocking her down. "Watch where you're going Inuyasha" cried an angry Sango as she quickly bent down to help Kagome up. "Feh, tell your friend to watch where she's going next time Sango." Replied Inuyasha, who had stopped to glare at his friend and her companion. "I can't." Hissed out Kagome who was still in pain from her broken arm being hit.
"What do you mean you can't?" retorted Inuyasha, though a little curious as to what this girl meant by 'she can't.' "I'm blind you jerk." By now, Kagome was back on her feet and hopefully glaring at this Inuyasha guy who knocked into her, and wouldn't even apologize, but was acting as if it was her fault.
Kagome's gaze was surprisingly accurate, and Inuyasha found himself staring into deep chocolate brown eyes. It seemed they led right into her soul, and although they glazed with her inability to see, they shone with a fiery anger, directed at him, and underlying sadness and pain so great it seemed to swallow him. All of a sudden, Inuyasha felt a great need to protect this girl and find a way to get rid of her pain and sadness. Realizing he was staring Inuyasha shook himself to compose his thoughts and replied " Jeeze, sorry I didn't know you were blind, by the way I'm Inuyasha."
"It's okay you just hit my broken arm, I'm Kagome". Kagome flashed a small smile in his direction and her eyes seemed to brighten a little. Just then the bell rang, and Sango who had already checked Kagome's schedule to find they were in the same classes said a clipped goodbye to Inuyasha,(she was still mad at him for knocking her new friend over and not even apologising until he found she was blind) then proceeded to lead Kagome to class. Kagome though had already forgotten about being knocked over called a small but happy goodbye to Inuyasha while almost being dragged away by Sango. 'Well things aren't going as bad as I thought they would, and Sango's really nice and Inuyasha seems like an arrogant jerk but nice. Maybe this new school won't be so bad after all.' Kagome smiled a little as Sango led her down the hall and to her first class, which she hopped would be as good as her morning was turning out to be, even if it did start out bumpy.
Okay that's it for this chapter, I hoped you like and sorry for the incredibly long wait again. Please review and tell me what you think, I completely accept flames provided they are done with constructive criticism and not just being mean for the sake of it. Anyway, thanks for reading cannot wait to see what you think anyway until next time LATER.
