Hey. This is my first fanfic in, oh, maybe four years. So far, it doesn't
seem too horrible. Please read it and tell me what you think so I know
whether or not to continue.
Disclaimer: Alas, the gorgeous Sesshoumaru, his bad-boy, attractive little brother, and the ruggedly handsome wolf demon are not mine. Yet.

Chapter 1- Shock [Prologue]
The news was shocking. Of all the things that that phone call could have meant, this was the last thing Kagome had expected. Sure, she had cried for a while. But crying wasn't enough anymore. She needed to stop the pain.
She needed to forget.
Now, she drove shakily towards the nearest bar. She knew she was driving too fast. She knew she was weaving on the road. And she knew it was fully annoying the driver behind her.
And she didn't even care.
After all, why should she? Her mother was dead. While driving home one night, she had had a head-on collision. She had been killed instantly. Kagome had heard all about it.
Now she wanted to forget.
But all that mattered now was getting to this bar. She halted abruptly and she swiveled into the parking space. Hurriedly pulling out the keys from the ignition, she grabbed her purse and hurried inside.

"Come on, one morrre. I wo-on't tell anyonnne, proo-oomise," the girl slurred drunkenly. This man thought he had the right to deny her the one thing she needed to forget. The pain was less intense, but it was still there. And Kagome didn't like that. Not one bit.
"HEY! I'm talking to you!" She slammed a handful of cash onto the counter.
"Little lady, you've had quite enough. Now take your cash, and go home. You have someone to drive you? I sure hope so, because I'd feel kinda guilty if somethin' happened. I know you're hurtin', but drinkin' only leads to more problems." The kindly looking man was looking sorry, but he was firm with his decision.
With a frustrated scream, Kagome grabbed her money and stormed out. She thrust her keys angrily into the ignition and sped sloppily away. When she passed the red light, she didn't even see the mother leading her small toddler across the street.
Kagome didn't have time to wonder why this mother was out so late with her child. She didn't even have time to jerk the steering wheel. She just stared in horror as her little silver mustang smashed hard against the frightened woman and her child. She'll never forget the look of sheer terror on the woman's face. She'll never forget the blood splattered all over her windshield.
And she'll never, ever forget the screams.

So, what did you think? Is it any good? Review and tell me what you think. My next chapter's already done, so I'll probably post it once I've typed it up, and.if I get any reviews.
This chapter is angsty, I know, and I'm sorry. It's also really short when I look at it. The next one will be longer, I promise. And less morbid.
