Sweet, Sweet Misery.

Kagome almost cried on her way home from her friend's house but she decided not to. Instead, she cried when she got home. Kami obviously had this divine hatred towards her. She was never accepted or loved. She headed straight toward her room despite her mom asking how her day was and smuggled herself into her pillow, sobbing into it, almost as though she was wailing all her misery into it. Her life as she knew it…Sucked.

That night she walked out of her room and sat on the hallway floor next to the stairs wearing a blue midriff and blue pajama bottoms with them. She was so exhausted from crying that it looked as though the stairs were a mile down. That was too far to walk, exhausted or not. Her brother had friends downstairs and she sat there listening to them yelling about whoever was winning. Because of her weariness, she only listened to someone yelling about cheating, Souta being a loser and "OOOO Owned!". Her head was aching and her eyes wouldn't close. She was tired but she didn't want to pull her body up and go to her bedroom. Eventually, Souta did come up the stairs when his friends left at 7 P.M., which meant that Kagome had been sitting there for an hour. He came up to see his sister sitting there, shocked because of the glazed look in her eyes. "KAGOME? Are you alive?!" He poked her on her right cheek five times with his index finger. "TALK TO ME!" She didn't look alive. She looked like shit. Her hair was messed up, she had been crying recently and her face was still red and her mouth was somewhat open- disgusting but scary to her younger brother who kept trying to shake her. "Kagome, please talk to meeee!!" He shook her vigorously making her head bob up and down and hit the wall once or twice.

"I'm fine. I'm just gonna go to bed." She stood and walked into her room, no more words said. What was there that she could say? He looked up to her and she was an emotional wreck, she couldn't explain what she was feeling to a kid who was 10 years old. That was just too difficult and she didn't have the energy.

In the morning

Kagome felt tired. Even when she woke up around 7AM. She didn't want to get up and catch the bus then go to school and face Mitsuki who would probably unleash her unholy wrath upon Kagome. She closed her eyes after covering her head with her dark red sheets. She reopened her eyes at 7: 30AM. This time, her mom came in an shook her foot in an attempt to get her up. "Kagome, you can't stay home unless you're sick." That gave Kagome the idea of poking her uvula until she threw up. That sounded fun. She could stay home and avoid everything. She knew that sooner or later she would have to go face everyone in that school by herself because Mitsuki might not forgive her the moment she apologized. That would be total hell. People mocked Kagome when she was by herself but they mocked Mitsuki when Kagome was with her. Was Kagome a nerd or something? Why did people target such a wonderful person? Mitsuki was great. She was really kind and when you were her friend she'd stand up for you, even if you knew her only a day. She wouldn't let you sit by yourself unless she had a detention, which was rare or she received it from hitting someone/ punching them in the mouth/ slapping them (Which she did a lot but it was truly rare when she was caught). Kagome threw the covers off and sighed loudly.

"I'm awake. What more do you want?" Her hair was wrecked and she simply grabbed the brush off her dresser and started brushing it down.

"What do I want? I want you to get up and go to school. Now, Young Lady." Her mom was trying to intimidate her in a way as though she was going to punish her for such a simple thing.

Kagome rolled her eyes in response and grabbed her green and white school uniform off of the edge of the bed, which her mother had obviously laid out the night before in such fear that her "little baby" was exhausted and needed to rest. Pre-thought out. That's the way all moms are, especially hers.

She threw her clothes off into the corner and slid the skirt on and put the shirt over her head and pulled. Her head felt like it was swollen and it must've been because she couldn't get the shirt over her head. She pulled harder and put her arms through the sleeves, then smoothed the shirt down and made sure there weren't any ruffles on her outfit.

Kagome walked down the stairs as slow as molasses moves. Slow. Slow as hell. Souta was at the kitchen table finishing off pancakes.

"What do you want for breakfast sweetie?" Her mother's greeting sounded very kindhearted despite the talk (intimidation) her mother had had with her. At that moment, Kagome ruled her mom as somewhat schizophrenic.

"I'm not gonna eat, I'm just gonna wait for the bus," a narrow escape from eating. The bus honked its horn outside and Kagome walked out the door.

Kagome greeted it with a grimace. "Hello bus. Time to take me to hell, huh?"

On the bus

As usual, Mitsuki was there but her backpack was in the seat where Kagome usually sat. She was looking outside of the window instead of making eye contact and it killed Kagome to know that she was really pissed off. Mitsuki had her ipod on and she had her hand under her chin. The actions made by a person who wanted to simply go back to bed or kick someone's ass. Kagome sat in the back of the bus and sighed loudly. No one was fazed by her presence. When she sat down, she had no idea who she sat down next to but when she looked over she discovered it was actually Kikyo Uumaniki who was looking outside of the window with a slight smile on her face. She hadn't even noticed that Kagome had sat down until Kagome cleared her throat. Instead of being rude, she decided that she should introduce herself, lest she look like a stalker or some weird person who had no life and decided to bother her. But they're the same thing, right?

"Hi, I'm Kagome Higurashi."

"Kikyo, Kikyo Uumaniki."

"I'm sorry was this seat reserved."

"Um…no…I don't think he'll mind."

"Um…sorry, don't answer if you feel offended or something, but who is he?"

"My boyfriend, Inuyasha Takashi."

"Oh…" Kagome's voice trailed off, thus ending the conversation.

Not even a minute later, Inuyasha Takashi boarded the bus with his brother, Sesshomaru. The two were squabbling and no one seemed to care much because it was common. Sibling rivalry was what it was known as.

"You're in my seat," rang Inuyasha's voice. He made eye contact with Kagome but he didn't seem too kind. He sounded menacing to her.

"I'm sorr-" Her reply came but she was cut off by Kikyo.

"It's okay Inuyasha, I said she could sit here."

Instead of arguing with Kikyo the way he had done with Kagome, he growled and gave Kagome a glare. This day could get worse, this was just the beginning of feeling like shit. She was treated like someone who murdered a puppy by someone she didn't even know that well. Her life was a story that appeared to suck ass with every scene. (A/N: I love making her miserable. Everything will turn out alright but not right now. --Turns on Ipod and listens to Someday---)

Homeroom/First Period

Kagome took her usual spot by Mitsuki. Her eyes were red as though she had been up all night. Shimkiku High was full of demons, half breeds, and humans. Use of powers during class and lunch were strictly prohibited, thus answering why Kagome had not been surprised to see the two adorable dog ears at the top of Inuyasha Takashi's head.

Mitsuki wasn't looking at her. Her head was resting in her folded arms, she looked like she was bored or tired…maybe even both. As usual, the class ignored Principle Tarmoro talking about how some students had vandalized the boys room by throwing wet toilet paper on the ceiling and stink bombs had been thrown into the gym and that they would find the trouble makers. Empty threats. Everyone kept talking because they knew that what she said was full of crap because she never did actually find who did it. One kid even lit paper on fire and threw it in a trash bin and the only thing that happened was she got mad and started yelling at everyone in the auditorium. Big whoop. Little authority.

"'Morning Mitsuki," Kagome smiled at her but Mitsuki stared forward. There was a look of pain in her eyes that Kagome had never seen before. Probably because they had never gotten into a fight and her half demon friend didn't bother when it came to showing emotion. (A/N: I'M SORRY I KEEP ADDING IN HALF BREEDS AND DEMONS !) Mitsuki's fox ears were at the top of her head, she had her tail out and her hands were like any other humans, despite the fact that she was half demon. Kagome gave up after she received a simple sigh.

"Please do your part in helping this school and tell us who these students are. Have a great day," Principle Tarmoro finished.

The bell rang showing that it was now first period. As soon as it did, Mitsuki stood up and walked up to their teacher's desk and placed a note down and walked outside the room. Mrs. Wasani walked in after Mitsuki had left and Kagome had no explanation of why her friend had left her all alone. She looked to the right and saw that her glance had been greeted with glares by about four people. Mitsuki's friends. One with blue hair named Ayumi moved over. Ayumi was a half breed as well, but she had blue hair and she had wolf's ears due to the fact that she was half wolf demon.

Instead of the average hi, Ayumi sounded pissed off. "What the fuck did you do to Mitsuki? She was almost in tears this morning."

Kagome was shocked, not knowing that the fight would have this much impact on Mitsuki.

Miyu, Ayumi's twin moved over to the seat behind her sister. "She made Mitsuki upset by saying she'd never get with Sesshomaru. What a bitch. You didn't have to say that to her. She has low self esteem and you just blasted her down with that. I'm gonna make sure that your life is a living hell."

The others in the group decided to stay back, deciding that what needed to be said had in fact been said.

"Kagome, they want to see you at the guidance office," said Mrs. Wasani.

Kagome sighed inwardly and stood from her seat, gathering her things and walking out the class. When she wasn't looking, the Miyu and Ayumi gave her the finger.

In the Guidance Office

When Kagome walked into the guidance office, the secretary pointed to the first door on the right, not bothering to talk to her as though she were insignificant. Kagome's feet slid on the dark blue carpeting on the floor, she was nervous. When she walked into Mr. Kasawagi's office, the first thing she saw was Mitsuki crying while sitting on a chair against the wall with Mr. Kasawagi trying to comfort her when it clearly wasn't working. Her face was in her hands and she was sobbing and she looked over in Kagome's direction when the door opened. She was hiccupping as though she was trying to hold back what would be a waterfall worth of tears. Kagome felt like shit. Looking at Mitsuki was like breaking your favorite mirror or ruining something that your parents loved or being heart broken. What if Mitsuki felt heart broken? Kagome had in fact broken her heart by saying what she said to her. Mitsuki hiccupped once again before Mr. Kasawagi pointed to a chair to the left of Mitsuki. There was a huge gap between them. He sat at his desk and cleared his throat:

"Kagome, I heard from Mitsuki that you said something to her that made her upset. Would you like to tell me what it was?"

Kagome shifted nervously in her chair. "I don't know what I could've said that upset her." Kagome knew to her soul that was bullshit.

Mitsuki hiccupped and managed to choke out something that sounded like, "Kagome told me that my crush would never like me because how I am and-" the rest just sounded like wailing.

Kagome stayed quiet.

"Kagome I think you should apologize to Mitsuki." Why was everyone against her? Mitsuki had started it by calling her a brat. In the end, Mitsuki had thrown a shoe at her, but because Kagome had actually kept her composure in class, she had received the blame.

Kagome's voice was low, "I'm sorry."

Mitsuki stood up, obviously irritated. To her, Kagome didn't even care and didn't have the decency to speak up to her when she was apologizing for something that obviously hurt her feelings. "You're a rotten friend! You don't care about anybody but yourself, Kagome Higurashi! You just stay wallowing in your feelings and crying about stupid ass Kouga. You just think of yourself and you don't think of what comes out of your mouth. You're a bitch. I hate you! I HATE YOU! I'll make sure that your life is a living hell." With that, Mitsuki walked over and smacked Kagome across the face and ran outside the room, crying once again, but not holding it back this time.

Kagome kept her face turned that way for a minute, trying to process what had clearly happened. She stood up and smoothed out her skirt without saying another word and walked outside the office. Mr. Kasawagi had not tried to stop either of them. Kagome walked out of the guidance office and walked outside of the building. She did not stop walking until she was tripped in the hallway. It was Ayame.

"Hey shit face. How ya doing? I heard that you made Mitsuki upset," Ayame giggled at the end of her sentence, her arm was chained with Kouga's and Kagome was on her hands and knees staring up to them as though they were a king and queen and she was a lowly subject. Kouga's wolf ears twitched while Ayame's stayed upright and her eyes remained focused on her target. In this case, her target was like a bug and would be easy to kill. "You made your best friend upset. How pathetic can you get? I see you eyeing Kouga all the time," her voice became more flirtatious as she ran her fingers against Kouga's cheek, " was like a body guard for you. You just killed your only defense. Mitsuki was kind and she befriended a bunch of people, you should expect that little posse of hers to tell everyone. You're going to be soooo hated." Ayame looked as though she relished this moment. Kagome on her knees, Kouga in her arms. He was all hers and she could dangle him as much as she wanted because he had simply picked her. Kouga didn't do anything but keep a cold glare on Kagome. Kagome looked at Kouga and then at Ayame. The bell rang symbolizing second period and people started surrounding them, thinking a fight had occurred. Kagome looked at everyone and pushed her way through the crowd and out the entrance of the school.
