CHAPTER 1

(Author's Note: This is my first fan fiction ever, so I really don't know exactly what I'm doing with the story plot. "blahblahblah" is for speech and 'blahblahblah' is for thoughts. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the first chapter!)

The sky was a dark blue hue and the wind was chilly as it blew wisps of hair against a dark haired woman. Though her face was pale and almost seemed lifeless at the time, her brown eyes seemed to glisten as the moon shined upon her. She was wearing the Japanese middle school uniform from her school. Although she wasn't wearing anything over her cold naked skin(I don't mean she's naked you pervs...), she didn't mind. It was just a numb feeling, nothing she thought she could worry about.

The young girl stood alone by the river, staring down at her reflection in the slow running water. She squat down with her arms around her legs, hugging them. Her expressionless face had disappeared as she had began to take note of how she looked at the time and sighed. Her face had slowly began to etch a depressed and worn out look. "Inuyasha, how could you..." she said, her voice sounding saddened and as a whisper. "I shouldn't have let it happen. I told you not to go." she said, still a whisper to herself, while slashing at the water with her hand and watching as the ripples formed then sluggishly cleared in the water to show the reflection of a girl, and a boy...

About a year later in modern time...

The sun was shining as the glass sparkled the shimmering rays onto the bed of a young girl who was now 17 years old, 2 years older than when she had met Inuyasha, the half demon she had fell in love with. Her hair was glowing a light brown colour as the rays of light bounced off the hair of the Japanese school girl, Kagome. Sitting at her desk on the rolling chair, Kagome who was in her yellow pajamas, looked down at her paper, while picking up a blue ball point pen and making sure that it was firm in her grip, she sighed and began jotting down words to her first journal entry. It read as followed:

"Dear Diary,
I can't believe that mom wanted me to start doing journal entries! I don't know, but this is my first journal entry since, ever. But some how, I think I needed it. School's been a bummer even though I finally made it through middle school. I'm in high school now but I've gotten seperated from many of my friends, I'm sure you know what I mean. Well if you didn't, I'd know when I read this many years later or something. It's not much news but me and the gang finally defeated Naraku. It was only about a year ago, I'd guess. I don't need to go into details even though, I really feel like I need to express it and write it somewhere. To tell you the truth, me and Inuyasha haven't been on the best terms. We haven't been seeing each other much. Inuyasha, that jerk..."

Kagome put the pen down as tears began rolling down her cheek, falling upon the paper and dampening it a bit. She picked up the piece of paper and folded it, placing it inbetween the pages of a red hard cover book, which held a soft, smooth cloth ribbon of red as a book mark. She closed the book as the small noise of the pages slamming together in a close were heard. While putting the book away so it would be hidden, she heard her mother's call from downstairs. "Kagome, come down to eat breakfast!"

"Ok mom, I'll be down in a sec!" she said in response, her voice was a bit weary and groggy despite the fact that she'd already washed up for the morning. Kagome wiped away the tears from her eyes and combed out her hair to be straight and neat. She grabbed her compact mirror which rested on her desk and looked into her reflection.

Kagome seemed discusted at the way she looked, cringing at the reflection. 'Awe man, I can't believe I've already become red just because of that!' she thought, noticing that her face was had a tint of a pinkish red glow. It wasn't her normal skin color so she thought she'd look unusual. Kagome quickly slipped into her fuzzy bunny slippers which were by her bed, as usual, and began going down the stairs.

'I hope mom doesn't notice. She might get worried or something. Especially since the way I've been lately.' she thought. 'She's noticed those other times as well. I don't know how she could tell...'

As Kagome turned her head, the aroma of freshly cooked bacon and fried eggs quickly filled her nose. "Mom, this smells great!" Kagome said while still trying to make herself more energic and lively than she really was today. Sitting on the table was a glass of orange juice poured for Kagome.

"Thank you, but shouldn't you be getting to school? Your brother already had left--" The older woman looked over her shoulder to her daughter who obviously had seemed troubled. "Kagome, you look flustered. Is something wrong?" She was worried and somehow, she had a feeling about what was wrong about her daughter. It was a motherly bond kind of thing she had.

"No, mom. There's nothing wrong with me!" Kagome lied while giving her mother a fake smile and grabbing the cup of orange juice that was poured for her. Although she tried, Kagome still looked as red as ever and her mother had definently noticed. "But, wait a minute. What did you say? Sota already left for school?" she turned her head to look at the clock and screamed. "Oh no! I'm late! I'll never make it on time!" she shouted out and groaned while she ran to the bathroom to change into her clothes. This was her first day of the highschool year and she was not intent on making herself late.

As soon as the girl burst out of the bathroom in a hurry, she quickly heaved her backpack onto her shoulders and turned her head to her mother to say a good bye. "Bye mom, I'm gonna be late if I don't hurry!" she waved to the older woman and headed out the door.

As soon as she turned her head to see where she was going, she bumped into a young man, with amazingly, gleaming silver hair which had shown through the light, and a bandana on. He almost looked like a gangster that was forced to where normal clothes. But besides that, he was considered very handsome. Without bothering to stop in order to look up at who she had bumped into, Kagome quickly ran past the man, making a turn and ran down the steps of the Higurashi shrine.

As Kagome turned the corner to head towards school, she looked at her watch with her bookbag hanging heavily on her back. 'I can't believe it.' she thought as she turned her head to look over the corner of her eyes in order to see if there were cars coming 'School is much closer than my other school' As she saw the last car pass by, she crossed and then continued her mad dash towards her highschool.
