Read on, if you are!

Kagome went up to Mrs. Taishio kindly, and already wrote something on a piece of paper for her to read. They didn't know she could really talk, it was just because she didn't want to. Her soul was broken. No voice in that soul needed to be heard. She handed her the piece of paper she had written on, and she read it a loud.
"May I get a diary? I want to write out my thought on there, or a note book. Something which I can let my freedom out on." It read. She smiled, and said, "Wait here a moment, dear."
Kagome sat down, and Mrs. Taishio came back with a red velvet book, about the size of a normal book, but 2,000 pages. It printed in real gold letters, 'Kagome' on it. Kagome gave her a questionable look, and she answered her. "I got one for you today. I knew you would probably want one, and I was right." She then handed her a golden pen, that wrote in gold. "That's for you also, if the pen runs out, come to me and I will get you another one."
Kagome smiled, and then hugged the woman. She was surprised at the early display of affection, but she returned the hug warmly, just as if Kagome was her own daughter.
Kagome ran up to her room, looking at the clock, 9:17 PM and decided, it was time to write, and make her first entry!

Diary Entry Number One

Kagome lied down on her new bed, her new pajamas' on. She was so grateful that she had a real home now, and people accepted her! Minus Inuyasha of course. Speaking of that, how come everything always lead back to that rude, selfish, jerk? She just put it off as she might be tired, and to go to bed soon. She would as soon as she was done.
She opened the book, and the pages were white with gold lines. At the
right bottom corner or each page, it said in cursive letters, 'Kagome.'
2,000 Pages. Wow. She took out the golden pen, and started writing.

My name is Kagome Higurashi, and this is where I will be putting all my thoughts. This will be my freedom to show how I feel, without being laughed at or teased. This, is the beginning of my life.
Well, lets start, when I was.. ten. That was a good age. I got my first gift ever then, a music book, 'Grave Of The Fireflies,' and it was, and still is, the best song in my taste. I had a piano back then too. Well, lets go over what I looked like, and still look like.
I am a little bit pale, and I have long raven hair that goes down to about my waist line. I have grayish/blue eyes, and people have told me, they look sad. Well, I did have a terrible past.. which made them that way, but I will get into that a little bit later. Basically, I look like your normal sixteen year old. Nothing different from the ordinary.
I had a cat back then too, Buyo. He was a fat Calico cat, but he was still wonderful and cuddly, I remember when I used to snuggle up to him at night, and he would always bring me good dreams. Like a dream catcher. He sadly, died when I turned eleven, and it was heart-breaking for me and my family.
When I was eleven, I was in the 6th grade, and let me tell you now,
it wasn't a good school. Let me start off by telling you why, the real
reason I didn't go to a good school, we were broke. We had barely enough
money to put food on the table, I remember my family used to have instant
ramen every night, and once and awhile we'd get pizza on friday's. We had
no T.V., electronics, furniture.. we basically lived in a dump. It was
also a very bad neighborhood, shootings everywhere. Poor, scary, old, crummy..
it was terrible.
The school was free, but there were always so many fights, drug usage, and teacher abuse. I remember when a kid put a knife to a teacher's head, demanding money. No one gave it to him, so, he stuck the knife in her temple, and she died right on the spot. He was arrested and put in juvenile hall the next day.
Now, I shall start, on why I am not the same anymore. I am not the same because I do not talk. I don't move a lot, I don't like a lot, I don't have an opinion on anything. I am about as good as a stuffed animal. I am soulless, or so I believe. I've been broken, and I don't think any one can mend this kind of pain that I feel now. No doctor, no specialist, not anything. I am stuck. In the dark. Forever.
I know, you're probably like, "Why are you this way? Why do you feel like this?" Sadly, this is something I don't want to put in the beginning of the book, because if someone reads this, then they will see it automatically, so, I will talk about it, when I get close to the middle.
But, on a lighter note, I used to live in an orphanage and now I live in a real nice house. It really is beautiful here, like a mansion. My favorite is the piano room, or the porch.
Note To Self: Go out on the porch more often at night.
Yeah, so its wonderful here. Mr. and Mrs. Taishio, the people who adopted me are wonderful. Their so nice and caring, when we were driving home today, they mentioned they have two sons. One is in collage, and one lives at home. Well, I hoped the one at home would be nice, but then Mrs. Taishio warned me a lot about him, and try not to upset him, now I see why about a couple hours later.
Inuyasha, that's his name. He is a rude, arrogant, violent, self-centered, JERK! Stupid bastard is so rude, and has NO respect for anyone but himself, and the respect he has for himself is way over the top!
.....But.. he still does have a soft side. I can tell. He was really nice to me at one point tonight.. he said he was sorry for being mean to me. I hugged him, and I could feel him hugging me back just a little..like he..wanted to.
I hope he shows that side to me more often.
-Kagome
Kagome shut the book, and turned out the light, putting the book on the night stand, and pen. She turned over on her side, and made a silent wish. 'I hope he shows it to me tomorrow..'
Her eye's drifted close, letting sleep overwhelm her.
***
Inuyasha had heard her lights go out, so he went to go check on her that she was sleeping, and not trying to escape out of her window. He creaked open the door, and was about to shut it, when he saw the moon gleaming on something gold..
He snuck in, and lifted it up. It was a book. He knew he shouldn't be touching her stuff.. but it seemed like it was calling to him, so he opened it. It was her diary! Her first entry..he knew that this wasn't right now. But, she wouldn't tell him anything, so, he would have to find out himself. He figured he would come in here every night and read the newest entry, just to learn about her. What to do, what to say, what not to do, what not to say...
He began reading. His eye's grew a little tired, but he needed this information! He read, and read. He got pissed when he read that she wasn't going to tell why she was the way she was until later in the book, but he could wait, right?
Yeah. He kept reading, and he stopped.
".....But.. he still does have a soft side. I can tell. He was really nice to me at one point tonight.. he said he was sorry for being mean to me. I hugged him, and I could feel him hugging me back just a little..like he..wanted to.
I hope he shows that side to me more often."
...She did talk about him in the book like he thought she would. But, how could she know about him being a little bit of a softy? That wasn't something that wench needed to know! But.. it was sort of nice that she thought about him in that manner.
'Maybe, I will take the time and effort to be nice to her..' He shut the book, and left it on the night stand. He then shut the door, and went back on his own room, to get some sleep.
It was going to be a long day tomorrow.
School.

AN: Well, a little bit of her past was revealed.. but why does Inuyasha hate school so much? And what does this have to do with Kouga? What will Kagome have to say to all this? New school, new rules, new people,.....new stalkers?
You'll have to wait and see, for the next chapter!
