"Good morning Kagome, rise and shine! Time for school!"
"Uh, it can't be morning already?"
"Kagome, obey your Jii-Chan and get up!"
"Ri… right!"
Kagome threw the covers back and shuffled around, positioning herself over the side of the bed. She slid off the side and headed towards the kitchen.

"Good morning Canada, it's 8:30 and this is DJ KC, putting a tune on to get a start to you day! Here's The Killers with Somebody Told Me!"
Sango opened an eye. "Did he just say...?"
Familiar music started to play. "Breaking my back just to…"
It was at that moment that the latest alarm clock met its end.
I had thrown a book at the alarm clock out of utter fustration. In my opinion, that song was terrible and the radio station needed to stop playing it and... Grr.
"Sango, this is the third alarm clock you've broken this week! Why not just change the station?"
"Because I hate The Killers. Shut up, you suck."
"Suck? Did you just say..."
"Yeah, you heard me. You. Suck."
"SANGO! You will not talk like that!"
"So what, it's not like anyone cares. You're already planning to send me to special school anyways," Sango said, tramping down the stairs to get some cereal.

"Bye Aunt Kaede-baba! Bye Jii-Chan!"
"See you after school Kagome! Study hard, work hard and concentrate!"
"I will!"
Kagome ran out the door. When she was sure she was far enough away, she muttered to herself, "Yeah, right…"
-x-
Sango shoved the bowl in the kitchen sink. "Time to prepare for another hell-ish day. Fuck, this sucks."
Sango shoved her incomplete homework and various supplies and books into her bag. "At least the teacher can't say I'm not prepared…" she muttered.
"Have a good day Sango!"
"I won't!" came the reply.
Sango slammed the door shut, causing the door frame to shudder a bit.
"Another day with Miroku and Kanna. Oh joy."

It all started that cool fall day. It's where this story begins; it's where everything truly begins, and where it ends.
It's where childish affection deepends; it's where friendships are severed from their ties, and new bonds begin.
It's where troubles are lessened and burdened. It's where our lives sucked greatly.

"Good morning Kagome."
"Hi InuYasha."
"Did you have a good night?"
"Yeah, I got a few things done, and surfed the net. Do you know what MSN is?"
"I do!" Kikyo piped up.
"It's that hot new Instant Messenger program!"
"Really? I downloaded it last night, but I have no contacts!"
"I can fix that! Here." Kikyo pulled out a pen and scribbled her e-mail address down, handing it to Kagome.
"How do I add you?"
"Duh. You go to Add a Contact, click the Create a Contact option, enter my e-mail addy, select finish, and I'll be added to your list."
"Wow, awesome!"
"I'm just surprised you didn't get it till now."
"You'll never catch me using one of those stupid systems." InuYasha butted in.
"Of course not!" Kikyo said ruffling the hair on his head. "You'd rather use that old communication device, the phone, I believe it's called…"
InuYasha looked away, a blush unnoticeable unless you were paying attention had creeped across his cheeks. "Feh, at least I still use it. The next thing I know you'll all have cell phones and be running around using them to call everyone."
Kikyo sighed. "I'm still convincing my mom to get me one…"
Kagome sighed and slunk into her seat. "Kaede says no too."
"Why would you need one anyway Kagome?"
"I don't know…"
"Then don't bother."
"…"
"KAGURA!" Kikyo started frantically waving her hands and shouting over to the girl. "KAGURA, KAGURA! OVER HERE!!!!"
'Shit, now we have to deal with the slut.' Kagome thought to herself, giving a small, practically inaudible sigh.
"Something wrong Kagome?" InuYasha asked, noticing her disappointment.
"It's nothing InuYasha, I'm just a bit tired."
"You shouldn't spend all night on that damn machine. Promise me tonight you'll go to bed early."
"Alright, InuYasha. I'll go to bed at 10, ok?"
"Earlier."
"Nine?"
"Perfect."
'I'm being given a bed time from InuYasha? Unreal…'
-x-
"Sango-Chan!"
"Oh great, its Kanna…" Sango placed a smile on her face, hoping Kanna hadn't noticed her muttering to herself. "HEY KANNA!" She yelled waving her hand in greeting to the girl.
"Sango."
'Oh man, just what I needed, it's Miroku…'
"Hey look, it's Mad Cow."
"Can you guys just grow up for once in your life? Just leave me alone."
The boys ignored her protests and continued their jeers. "Moo Moo!!!"
Sango just stepped around and past them, listening to them grunt and moo behind her.
'They're so immature…"
"Hey Sango, you know that new MSN program? I'm going to come over to your house tonight and help you install it, so we can talk on there instead of using the phone. Mom gets so mad when I use the phone all the time."
"How's your cat Kanna?"
"My cat? Oh, he's fine. But he puked all over the rug and the house stinks something awful from his shit."
"Nuts."
"Tell me about it. Did you finish the assignment Mrs. Depolo gave out?"
"Nope, and I couldn't give a damn. Screw her, she can stick her head up her ass. Kanna, you know I don't give two shits what she thinks of me, and my work habits. I'll let her wear herself out asking for it."
"Why are you so rude to her?"
"Because she's so mean to me."
"But she treats everyone nicely and…"
"In your opinion Kanna."
"Why do I bother, go take your spoiled ass somewhere else," Kanna stalked off.
"Jeez, what a hoe…" Sango muttered to herself.
