"Ok, Kagome." Mrs. Higurashi turned around from baking her cookies. "Here Kagome take my credit card, buy a new wardrobe. Just don't spend over $600, ok?" she asked while handing a shocked Kagome the credit card.
"Ok, thanks mom." 'Wow she never lets me spend that much, or let me have the card for that matter.' Kagome shook her head of those thoughts and walked out the door to her car.
-Chapter 2: New Look and New Life-
**The Mall**
"Let's see what kind of new look do I want." she wondered out loud while tapping a finger on her chin. Then she thought of what she would be. "A punk!" she spoke to her self with excitement. She looked around for a store that would sell punk stuff until her eyes landed on a Hot Topic. 'They would probably have punk stuff.' She thought as she walked into the store. She walked over to the young girl at the counter, she had pink and black spiked hair, a nose ring, heavy make-up, and wore baggy clothes. The girl noticed Kagome standing there and looked up.
"Can I help you?" she asked in a bored tone.
"Yeah, I have been through hell in the past few days and I want to start a new life with a new look." She paused and looked at the girls confused face. "Can you help me with my new look?" she asked looking down at her hands.
"Of course I will." She said with a smile. "I'm off work in about five minutes, why don't you pick out some clothes you like and try them on."
"Thanks, I'm Kagome by the way." She said holding out her hand. The girl took it.
"I'm Kumori. Nice to meet you Kagome."
"Nice to meet you too." With that Kagome went to pick out some clothes. When she was done she had found 4 pairs of baggy black pants, 6 shirts, and a pair of combat boots. She walked over to the check out stand where Kumori was waiting to help her with her dilemma. "What else will I need?" she asked with slight anticipation.
"Well you will need darker make-up, jewelry, accessories, hair dye, and piercings." Kumori walked through the isles and picked up what they would need and brought her to a room in the back. "Alright, I think you would look good with red streaks in your hair, what do you think?" she asked as Kagome took a seat in a chair by a sink.
"That sounds cool. Ok lets do it." she spoke in a serious tone while smiling. Kumori nodded in response and started to apply the dye to Kagome's hair. About an hour later Kagome's hair was done. "Wow. It looks awesome!" Kumori gave her a pair of black baggy pants that she had picked out earlier and a black muscle tank.
"Go put those on and then come back out here ok?" Kagome nodded and went to change and when she came back out Kumori had accessories waiting. She gave Kagome a Choker with chains on it, rings for her fingers, a Good Charlotte sweatband for her wrist, spike bracelets, and large hoop earrings. After Kagome had put it all on Kumori did her make-up. She had dark gray eye shadow, black eyeliner, black mascara, and lip gloss on. Kagome looked in the full-length mirror and smiled.
"Ok, now the piercings. What do you want done?" she asked indicating for Kagome to sit in the chair next to her.
"Well.I have always wanted my belly button and lip pierced." She answered as she sat down in the chair.
"Ok, so lip, belly button, and how about one at the top of your ear?" she asked as she got every thing ready. Kagome nodded.
"Yeah, the right one." Kumori walked over to Kagome with a needle and jewelry.
"Ok this is going to hurt a little bit." Kagome just shrugged.
"I have been through a lot.this won't hurt." She said with a smile. Kumori nodded and pierced Kagome's belly button with the needle, then put the hoop in. After that she pierced her right ear and lower lip. She looked at Kagome shocked. "What? Does it look that bad?" Kagome asked not sure what was wrong with Kumori.
"No, no. It looks great. It's just." she trailed off and looked Kagome straight in the eyes. "I have never seen anyone get pierced and not flinch. What happened to you so you could bare the pain?" Kagome looked at her lap.
"You wouldn't believe me if I told you." She said with a smirk.
"Try me." Kumori was determined to find out what Kagome was hiding.
"Ok.when I was 15 I was dragged into a well at my family shrine." Kagome went on to tell her everything that happened from beginning to end. ".and that's why I'm here now." She finished looking at Kumori's face to see her reaction. She was shocked to say the least. 'She doesn't believe m-' she was brought out of her thought bye Kumori's yelling.
"WOW! That is so cool!" Kumori was asking questions about everything. "Can I meet Sesshomaru?" she asked with her 'puppy dog eyes'. Kagome fell out of the chair anime style.
"You believe me?" she asked in disbelief. Kumori nodded. "Why?"
"Because nothing can make a girl like you change so much but the unbelievable. Your story is far fetched but I can tell your not lying, plus." she smiled at Kagome and grabbed a necklace. ".you have the jewel to prove it."
"Thanks. Do you have the time?" she asked Kumori.
"Yeah. It's 4:10. Why?" she asked as Kagome got up to leave giving her a smile.
"My mom wants me home at 5, so I have to go." Kumori nodded in reply.
"Well I will see you later. Also go to Sam Goody and pick up some new music."
"What bands do you suggest?" Kagome asked completely clueless on what CD's to buy.
"Um.Good Charlotte, New Found Glory, Simple Plan, bands like that to start with. See you later Kagome." Kagome waved goodbye and bought the CD's that Kumori had suggested and a new portable CD player.
"Hmm.I still have $400 to spend. Maybe I should start a band, yeah I will." She went into an instrument store and bought an electric guitar, bass guitar, a drum set, and electric keyboard. It was a close out sale so she also bought everything from extra stings for the guitars to cleaning and maintenance supplies for under $300. After she paid for everything she had it brought out to her car and went home.
Once she got home she got out of the car and started to bring the band equipment up to the guesthouse that they had on the shrine. Sota came running down to help her. He stopped right before he got to her. He looked at her and smiled.
"Wow sis you look awesome!" he stared at her in awe. Kagome smirked.
"Thanks Sota." She said as she ruffled his hair. "Do you want to help me with my band equipment?" Sota's eyes lit up.
"Yeah, are you starting a band?" Kagome nodded and he smiled. "Do I get to be in the band?" He asked with hopeful eyes.
"Of course. If you really want to." She looked at Sota's reaction and smiled, he was nodding his head and smiling. "Ok, what instrument do you want to play?" Sota stroked his chin in deep thought then smiled.
"Can I play bass guitar?" Kagome nodded. "Yes, but you have to help me carry every thing up and you have to take care of it. Not to mention we need to fix your style." She said talking to herself more than Sota.
"Ok, this is going to be cool. When do we start?" he asked in slight anticipation. Kagome looked at Sota's watch and her eyes widened. "What's wrong?"
"It's almost 5:30, I have archery lessons today!" she yelled as she grabbed her bow and quiver of arrows and ran down the sidewalk. 'I'm going to be late!' she yelled to herself mentally as she started to cross the street. All of a sudden she felt a strong force flowing through her body and she couldn't move, she never saw the semi-truck coming.
