kit is almost completely burned out, thank im1smartblonde for getting kit to update. (even if you did threaten kit) This is such a hard story to write. Ish, kit does not have this planned out or this sucky chapter wouldn't be such a sucky chapter!

Chapter 1: What doesn't kill you

"We know that, but you're only 16, you have to be eighteen to be able to stay alone legally."

"Oh, alright then."

"So is it ok with you then?"

"Sure, go right ahead." Luckily the doctor didn't notice the sarcasm in her voice, as soon as he left the room she fell back asleep.

Kagome woke up and rubbed the sleep out of her eyes. She shrieked when she finally opened her eyes and there were a bunch of creepy people surrounding her bed. A girl her age, a boy her age, a middle aged man and supposedly his wife, judging from the huge diamond ring on her finger. Kagome's eyes popped open at the sight of the diamond.

"Hello there dear. I am Mrs. Onigumo, but you can call me Satsuki. This is my husband Kuichi, my daughter Kikyou, and my son Naraku." Kagome just blinked, and blinked, and blinked once again.

"I-I'm Kagome Higurashi. It's nice to meet you." Kagome was getting the shivers from being around these people, she let out a sigh of relief when the doctor came in.

"Well Miss Higurashi," Kagome glared at him. "I see you have met the family you are going to be staying with. We are going to release you in a few minutes. You can stop off at your house, grab your clothes and some other personal items you may want then go see your new home." Kagome nodded and sat up.

"Well honey we'll let you change." Satsuki gestured to some clothes on a nearby table.

"We came earlier while you were sleep. Your clothes were drenched and smelled awful so we brought you some. You and Kikyou about the same size."

'So Satsuki isn't bad, but the rest haven't said a word to me. I'll deal some way or another.' Satsuki ushered them out of the room so Kagome could change, giving a small wave. The others ignored her once again.

'What a wierd family. I'M SUPPOSED TO WEAR THESE?' Kagome rifled through the bag Satsuki had left and reluctantly pulled on the clothes. She ran her fingers through her hair, waging war on the snarls.

'Note to self, as shower as soon as humanly possible.' Kagome looked at her image in the bathroom mirror. She was wearing tight low rise jeans, a halter top, and an overshirt. She stepped out of her room, not expecting Naraku to be there.

"Shit! You scared the crap out of me. Don't do that." Naraku grinned and let his eyes wander over her thin frame.

"Everyone is waiting for you in the car." His eyes met hers and she glared at him. He turned his back to her and started walking away.

'Eek, his smile is creeeeeepy. Well I'll just lock myself in my room.' They stepped out into the sunshine and Kagome took a deep breath, ridding her nose of the hospital stench. Trying to rid herself of all the sadness, tears, and heartbreak. Little did she know, it was only begining.

But what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right?

Love kit for updating! She has rewritten this many times.....uh.....5 she thinks and it still doesn't look right. She even changed it again in the editing thingy. Maybe because its so short, ne?

Ok what does that mean? kit thinks that it means right, but most of the japanese kit knows are naughty words. Do you guys think that kit should use japanese in this one? None of that "if you want to" garbage either. kit wants to know what you want for this.

im1smartblonde: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! kit updated, happy now?

xo-Kagome-ox: kit would love to! Because you're one of kit's favorite writers.

kyuuka-kitsune: that is an awesome story, kit's so glad that you finally started one.

kit knows that in the begining kit had Kagome be 17 but she is changing it to 16, just so ya know. Ok ja ne everyone!
