Alo! KonekoChan11 here to satisfy ur fanfic needs! This is my 3rd fanfic, Unwanted Allegiance. I'm just writing a lil bit now. .. . so u guys can get a taste of wat's to come. Its going to be a lot darker, sadder, and less light-hearted than the last one, so. .. yea. If u don't like this sorta story, then u don't hav to read it.
EXTENDED SUMMARY: It's about a girl (kag), who is fed up of being prejudiced just because she's a girl. On her fifteenth birthday, she receives news at school that her family has died in an unfortunate car crash. When she thought things couldn't any worse, She's told that she's unable to inherit the shrine as well, seeing as her brother (kouga) has joined the army. They need a male Higurashi at the shrine to continue the family line, or else the shrine will be handed over to the next family in line.
Wanting to prove herself, Kagome devises a plan to find her brother, and, in turn, get back the shrine. Suddenly she's in for more than she bargained for when her plan goes completely off track. What will Kagome do when she finds her brother? How will she cope with being in the army? Read on!

Kagome Higurashi stood in front of her mirror, taking a last, remorseful look at her beautiful raven black hair. It shone in the afternoon light, creating a halo-ish effect that just screamed at her, "Don't do it!!"
"It's for the best," said Kagome, reassuring herself more than telling off her hair. She breathed deeply and slowly, holding back tears.
She bit her lip as she tied back her hair in a ponytail, knowing that it would probably be the last time. Kagome looked back up at herself, and stared stonily at her locks. Then, with all the courage she could muster, she lifted up her ponytail and snip! Down fell her hair, onto the small towel she stood on.
The result of the scissors was somewhat. . . .erratic. . . . but there were worse haircuts on boy's heads around here. Stepping off the towel, she picked it up and emptied the contents into a small bag, which she placed at the bottom of her bag along with a few other precious items. On top of these she packed some spare clothes she nicked from Kouga's room and some food to last her out the day.
Her hand stopped as it brushed something when she reached for a pair of tattered jeans. Looking up from her bag, she saw it was a photo of the whole family, on the day her brother Kouga had left to enlist in the army.
"Mama. . . . Souta. . . . Jii-Chan. . ." Kagome picked up the photo and stared at it mournfully, knowing that she could never heard Souta's whining ever again, nor could she listen to her Jii-chan's weird stories, or even hear the sound of Mama greeting her as she came home. She remembered the day they told her clearer than anything in her life.
~^*~^*~^*~^*FLASHBACK*^~*^~*^~*^~
"Ah! Kagome-chan! Tanjyobi omedeto!"[--happy birthday] Hojo rode past her on his bike, throwing her a red box on the way. Kagome opened it, to find a black ceramic cross inside it. Hojo was always giving her religious stuff like that, hoping that she'd be 'cured of all her sins'.
"Doumo, Hojo-kun!" Kagome called to him, and stuck the cross in her bag as she walked past the school gates.
"Kagome-chan!!! Tanjyobi omedeto!!!" Suddenly people, all giving her gifts at the one time, swarmed her. Stuttering thanks, she walked away from the pack with arms full of boxes. After managing to stuff her presents into her shoe locker, she headed to class.
"Will class 3-E's Kagome Higurashi please report to the office. I repeat, will class 3-E's Kagome Higurashi please report to the office." The voice echoed somewhat hollowly through the hallways. Kagome sighed impatiently and went to the office, wondering what they could possibly want at this time.
"Ah, Higurashi-san, a phone call for you," the PA announcer pointed towards a grey telephone on the table beside her, off the hook and waiting.
"Moshi moshi?"
"Higurashi-san? Um. . . This is Jyuushi Kimiko from the um. . . the um. . . . the morgue. . . ." said a voice on the other line.
"Ah, hai. Is there any particular reason you called me?" Kagome tried to be polite, but it was hard being impatient and polite at the same time.
"I give you my deepest sympathies, but. . . . it seems your family has been involved in a car crash. . . . ."
Kagome suddenly forgot about being impatient. "What? What happened? Are they okay?"
"A. . .According to the forensic results. . .there was no chance of survival. . . . "
~^*~^*~^*~^*END FLASHBACK*^~*^~*^~*^~
Kagome's vision was blurred as tears fell from her eyes onto the glass of the picture. ~Ack! No! There's no time for this!!~ Kagome quickly rubbed away her tears with her sleeve and put the photo on the ground next to her.
Quickly she threw in the rest of her stuff and slung the backpack over her shoulder and stood up. Taking one last look at her family portrait, she pushed it over so that it lay face down on the floor, where she couldn't see it.
"Itekimasu. . . ." she whispered as she left her house for the last time.

Ok! There's ur lil sampler! If u want more, R+R! Other chaps will probably be 4-5 times longer than this, just so u kno. . . .
