Ring ring ring!
Kagome woke up with a start and turned off her alarm clock. She got out of bed to get dressed thinking of
last night.
~~~~Flashback~~~~
She had just gotten home from school after being expelled. Her mom was in the kitchen smoking a
cigarette.
"What are you doing home so early?" her mother asked.
"Why do you care you don't even pay enough attention to know what school I go to let alone what time it
gets out."
"Shut up! Don't you know that you are supposed to respect your elders? You're just as mouthy as your
father was. I don't know why I even decided to keep you your just a slut. Sleeping around with the teachers
just to get a grade!"
"You shut up! You know nothing about me let alone what I do! And if anybody is a slut in this house it's
you! Always bringing guys home. Maybe it would have been better if you had given me up `cuz you suck
at being a mother! We barely have enough food in the cupboards to keep us alive. You spend it all on
beer and smokes! Kagome yelled in disgust.
Slap!! Her mother had stood up and slapped her across the face. "You little bitch! You keep your filthy
mouth shut! You have no idea what I do for you sending you to that school buying clothes for you to keep
you warm!"
"Well you don't have to worry about sending me to that school anymore I got kicked out." She said her
face stinging from where her mother's hand had hit her.
"What'd you do this time sleep with the wrong teacher?"
"No. For your information I kicked some kids ass just like I would do to you if you weren't my mother."
Kagome yelled as she ran upstairs to her room not seeing that her mother had flipped her off and went to
go get a beer bottle out of the fridge to `drown out her sorrows' as most people put it.
~~~~~ENDFLASHBACK~~~~~
`Probably passed out. Least I won't have to deal with her this morning. Thank God!'
She had finished getting dressed while she had been thinking about yesterday.
Today she wore the same jeans as yesterday and a long sleeve shirt that had a little baby girl on it. The
shirt said `I see red, you see black and blue' (AN: it's said that little children get excited when they
see bright colors like red or bright green.)
She pulled her hair in a high ponytail to keep it out of her face. Today, strangely enough, she was slightly
excited to go to school. She had to go to an alternative school because it was the only other school in her
district that she hadn't gotten kicked out of yet. The reason she was excited was because this school had
a reputation of having extremely tough teachers that would take no bullshit from the students. And if there
was one thing she loved it was messing with people's minds. You see Kagome was a miko. She could
use her powers to help her in a fight, which made her unusually strong and fast. She also had the ability to
see into people's minds and control them to some extent (it usually depended on how strong the person
was mentally.) She had the ability to control the elements to some extent (she was still working on it) and
she was also able to move things for a short distance (another thing she was working on). She could see
people's auras naturally and detect where anyone was as long as she knew what their ki was. Ki is
someone's life force. Each has his or her own wave of ki kinda like someone's finger print. Another thing
that came natural was her senses she could (if she focused) hear and smell things going on down the
block and if in an open field see things up to a mile away.
Most of this came to her naturally because she was an extremely strong miko, but she had some things
that she wanted to try out like flying for instance she wanted to see if she could figure out a way to lift
herself off of the ground.
Kagome walked downstairs to see her little brother, Souta, eating cereal. If Kagome had a soft spot for
anybody it was for him. After all he hadn't done anything to her he was just a kid. It sucked like hell that
he'd have to grow up someday into an adult. Every adult that she had met had either left her or had done
something to hurt her. You see she wasn't always like she was now she used to be nice before her dad
left her and little Souta with their mother. He had gotten into an accident and had died on his way to the
hospital.
Kagome shrugged those thoughts off. She wanted to be in a good mood when she got to her new school.
"Hey, squirt" she called playfully while messing up his hair.
"Hey! I just brushed that I'll have you know." He said with a frown trying to keep himself from grinning. He
thought it was totally awesome having a miko for a sister. And one that was as cool as she was on top of
it all. "Want some cereal there's a little left in the box?" he said switching moods instantly.
"No thanks I gotta get to school don't wanna be late on my first day. You know it's very bad to make a bad
impression." She said with a mock serious _expression while walking out the door. Her brother just smiled
and went back to eating his cereal.
