Hello again! I'm obviously a loser since I have nothing better to do than update. Oh well! Anyway, the FCAT is over for this week at least, next week we have the science Fcat and the NRT's and then that's it! My teachers have been nice with us lately because of all the testing so I've had time to write, don't get used to it though, I don't know how long it'll last. I write every chance I get in school. I'm not posting anymore hello's or whatever to my reviewers like I did last time because it takes up extra space just like what I'm doing now, ok let's begin the chapter.

Disclaimer: I'm only putting this because I have to...I...don't...own, I can't say it! I can't say I don't own Inuyasha!Oops, guess I just did

chapter 3:

When my long day from school was finally over I felt great relief come over me. I had seen and talked to someone I didn't like anymore, got flirted on by his best friend, and on top of all that I have a whole bunch of homework for the weekend! But all that didn't matter right now, all that mattered for me was to go home, eat a snack, and take a long nap. Hopefully I'll never have to wake up again.

When I got home the house was empty except for my grandpa and Buyo, my obese cat. I went to say hi to gramps but as soon as I walked into the shrine he said:

"Ah! Kagome, you're here, good! I have to go se a man about a bird demon wing so I need you to watch the shrine for me, thanks, good bye!" and without waiting for an answer he left, leaving me tired, bored, and hungry.

"well, I guess it's just you and me now for a while Buyo" the cat meowed and went to sleep right in front of me.

Where was mom and Souta anyway? I went inside the house to see if there was a note I looked for one until I found one attached to the refrigerator in the kitchen saying:

Kagome, we went to the market and then we're going

to visit one of Souta's new friends. We'll be back late. See I

remembered to leave a note this time.

Love, Mom

When I finished reading the letter I went back outside. It was still nice outside, though a little chilly so I brought out with me a light sweater. (AN: it's autumn in the story, the sakura tree has not bloomed) Since it was Friday I knew I didn't have to worry about doing my homework today, so I walked towards where the Sacred tree was and sat under it's large shade. I leaned my head against the trunk of the tree and slowly closed my eyes...

There were strings of hair all over the place, each one capable of cutting your flesh like a knife from just a single touch. I noticed he couldn't see them and in the process of trying to destroy them he was in fact getting hurt himself.

A demon appeared in front of us, she had short black hair and blood-shot eyes. She was also wearing this tiny little outfit that covered enough but still showed a lot! She began to fight with him in order to get our two pieces of the shikon jewel, he kept slashing at her with his claws but every time he hurt her she recovered again.

But he wasn't looking so good, since he couldn't see the strings of hair her kept getting slashed. Then the hair grabbed him and he was tied up, she would toy with him before she killed him in order to get his hair, before doing so however she wounded him in the stomach. Aside from that he didn't have his robe made from the fire rat to protect him during battle because he had given it to me so I would be save.

I had to do something, I got out from where I was hiding and stringed my bow and arrow ready to attack her. I let go of the arrow and it would have hit Inuyasha if I hadn't told him to watch out, she also heard this and avoided contact with the arrow which instead hit a huge ball of hair. Amazingly for me once it did hit the huge ball a glow of purple came from it and it made the hair start to fall to the ground. At the same time Inuyasha was freed and so he went back to fighting with her.

I noticed a skull lying on top of some heap of hair so I ran to it and started to pierce it with the tip of my arrow like it was a hammer. She noticed this however and ran towards me to attack me, but she was too late because I had already pierced the skull and along with her she disappeared living behind a comb.

-"I killed her? I killed Yura?" I asked myself out loud, feeling quite proud actually

-"good job, Kagome. Try to be as efficient as today more often would ya?" he said to me

- "you always have to put me down, don't you-

"Kagome? Kagome dear wake up"

"hmm?" I opened my eyes to see my mother standing in front of me, behind her was my brother, and another kid who seemed to be his friend.

"Kagome you fell asleep out here, come on let's go inside" my mom said.

I got up and walked towards the house with them. I sat on the couch and watched t.v for a while with Souta and his new friend. I looked at the boy and then said him:

"Um, hello, Souta's friend. I'm sorry I've been so out of it I forgot to say hello. What's your name?"

He looked up at me from the floor and with a friendly smile he said:

"Kohaku, nice to meet you Kagome." I smiled back at him. He was SO adorable and polite, unlike Souta

Then my mom came in and said:

"Kagome, Kohaku and his family have just moved to Tokyo from Nara, his sister is in the same grade as you and will also attend to school with you on Monday"

"oh ok! That's cool! How come you started sooner though Kohaku?" I asked

" Because she got infected with chicken pox two weeks ago so she wasn't able to go, she's fine now but my dad didn't see the point into her going to school today" he answered

"yeah, that makes sense. What's her name?"

"It's Sango, she and my dad are coming to pick me up tomorrow in the morning since I'm staying with Souta here tonight" he answered

I simply nodded with a smile, then I walked towards the kitchen where my mom was, cooking dinner. So I began to gossip with her about Souta's new friend and his family. My mom was the only woman I ever enjoyed gossiping with, because she never said it like it was the latest story off the press, she said it as if just to inform me.

"They moved in two weeks ago, Kohaku's father, Kazuo(AN:I made it up, it's a Japanese name, it means generous man according to the website) and his sister, Sango. Their mother died when Kohaku was only six from cancer. Now he's twelve like Souta. Their father had to raise the both of them on his own, just like I had to when your father died ten years ago Kagome" she looked at me when she mentioned him.

I looked back at her and nodded, I could sympathize with them, we've both been through the same thing. My father died from a car accident though, I was with him, some car didn't stop for the red light and it hit us. I was in the hospital for several days, when I woke up I found out that both my father and the man from the other car had died.

The guy was only 18 and had just received his license and was driving without a seatbelt so when he hit our car he went flying through the wind shield and crashed into the pavement of the street, he died instantly. My father on the other hand was seriously injured on the head since the other car had smashed into ours from his side. He was in a comma for several days until he finally died.

I miss him so much, everybody does. But most of all, I miss his warm and comforting smile. He always used to make things better. Mom struggled a lot when he died and with all the bills from the accident. So we had to move out from our apartment and come live with grandpa in the shrine. I love it here, it's the best choice mom could have made.

That was a year after my dad's death, another year later Inuyasha came into my life. He was like a savior from all my sorrow and pain. He made me laugh and he was always doing dumb stuff, he also helped me stop being such a huge klutz by making fun of me every time I fell or did something clumsy. Though it was mean I'm glad he did it, I've reduced my falling average to three to four times a year...maybe more.

Once I finished dinner I went upstairs to my room. I was so tired I decide to go take a bubble bath (AN: love those!) And perhaps never come out and just stay there forever...or until my fingers start to wrinkle like a prune.

It's heaven! Just what I needed after a long hard day. When I finished I dried my hair and went to bed, but I couldn't sleep because I wasn't tired. So I stayed up looking at the ceiling for a while, and then I got up and looked outside my window until I opened it and grabbed on to the frame on my window. I started to pull myself up onto the roof, once I did I just sat there, for the longest time. It was so nice outside, there was a light breeze blowing on my hair and every single star out on the galaxy was shining down upon me.

I started to think about my dream, I hadn't had time to do so before because it just wasn't the place but this place was place was perfect. I like to reflect on things alone, in a peaceful surrounding not amongst friends or family.

The girl we were fighting, she was just like the one I saw today. What was her name? Oh, that's right it was Yura! I remembered something, but I still can't remember him, every time I try to remember he's erased from my mind and I can only remember what happens but never him.

I wonder if I'll keep remembering things, if I'll ever see another...demon, am I going nuts? For real? I hope not. But I also hope there's no such things as demons. Cause if there are then why haven't they showed themselves to us humans?

When I woke up the sun was rising and I felt like I had slept on the floor, but I hadn't I'd slept on my roof. So I sat up and stretched as much as I could and stayed on the roof watching the sun rise, it's the most amazing thing in this world.

My gosh (AN: I've decided I'm not going to use God because I don't know if it might insult someone if I do, an exemption is this first time, instead I'll use gosh, please tell me if I accidentally do it again, Thank you.) I can't belief I stayed here all night! If my mom finds out she'll kill me!

So I got down and got back in bed so my back would get fixed. I fell asleep once again and until 10 I dreamt of nothing else but candy.

When I woke up again it was because my mom was calling me.

"Kagome get dressed, Kohaku's family is coming to pick him up and I want you to meet his sister" my mom said

"Sure, let me get ready"

I put on a pair of loose jeans (AN:I hate wearing anything else) and t-shirt. The I fixed my hair in a low ponytail. Though I love to wear skirts, they are sometimes annoying and I didn't want to meat this girl and have her think I was a girly-girl. From how Kohaku described her last night, she sounds like a tomboy.

When they finally arrived I was ready, I promised myself I'd be nice even if I hated her or whatever.

I met her dad first, Kazuo, he seemed like a nice man. And then I said hi to Sango

"hi, I'm Sango" she said

"I'm Kagome, I love your shirt, that's my favorite band" I said, I really did love that shirt and that was my favorite band.

"thanks, I made it myself"

"WHAT? Are you kidding? How did you do that? it's sooooo cool!"

"really? You think so? I love sowing, in fact I make most of my clothes!"

"Sango, you must be the first person I meat who also likes Fire and Ice"

"I'm not shocked, I mean most people nowadays have not taste whatsoever, they're too involved with pop and rap to even bother listening to alternative rock"

"exactly!"

"yeah!"

And for the first time in I don't know how many years I enjoyed talking to someone else. Sango wasn't like my friends at school, she was different, she was like me. We shared a common bond, we both lost someone we loved and we both grew up with difficulties, but that was only a part of the friendship that was forming between us, aside from that Sango felt like a best friend and meeting her, felt more like it was a reunion than anything else.
