A/N: Hey everyone this is my 2nd fic, and the story's idea just won't go away, so I'll just type it up for the holidays. I'm not sure about what pairing to do so I hope all the people who read this, will review and vote for either Inu/kag or sess/kag. But I'm sort of leaning towards the Sess/Kag side, but I'll let my readers vote! Please review!
Summary: Kagome's back in Tokyo after she moved to Kyoto to get "away". But she's different now. She's a cold heartless person who could care less! Will her past always haunt her? Or will someone save her from the person she's become?
Chapter 1: Prologue
Kagome walked down the snowy sidewalk. Her sapphire eyes a deep shade of blue. Kagome looked at the Mothers and children who came out of the toy store, with loads of bags. Children were making snowmen out in the park, and having snowball fights. Colored lights decorated houses upon houses.
It would soon be Christmas.
Her face turned into disgust. Christmas was a foolish holiday, full of pointless happiness that would soon disappear in a matter of hours. Kagome saw a little kid about seven years that would soon attempt to hit her with a snowball. She sidestepped it and continued walking. A little girl looked up from where she was making a snow angel. She stared at Kagome with wide eyes.
Kagome's face turned impassive. She glared at the girl and walked on.
She remembered when she used to look forward to Christmas. Her mom would always have hot cocoa and warm cookies ready for her when she got home from school. Under the Christmas tree would be filled with presents with mysterious gifts inside. Her little brother Sota would always wish for a dog, instead of the lazy cat Buyo (a/n: is that how you spell it?). Dad had always skipped work just to be with her and her family on Christmas day.
One Christmas had ruined it all. Everything collapsed: her family, her friends, everything she held dear.
Kagome gazed at all the fresh baked goods in the bakery. All the bags that the parents and children carried. She stared at the snowmen, the trees, the presents in the frosted windows, the cheerfulness. She hated it all. Kagome couldn't understand why everyone would waste their time, spending money just to spoil kids. All children should know at an early age that life if never fair or easy, just like Christmas, Kagome thought.
Christmas should never have this kind of meaning: Hopeless cheer, gifts that bribe children into being good. It was all fake. Kagome sighed to herself. Before she went into the dojo, she finally admitted something to herself.
She hated the thought of Christmas, yes, she truly did. She hated the thought of everyone being happy. She hated how everyone would always be comfortable in his or her houses. She hated how everyone would be able to get presents. She hated the very thought of family gatherings itself.
Yes, she hated it all.
But truthfully, she envied them.
A/N: well that's it for the first chappy! I know it's short, but it's a PROLOGUE! They don't need to be long. Anyway please review and vote for the pairing you want: sess/kag or inu/kag! NO FLAMES PLEASE!! Thank you!
