Profiles:
Kagome Higurashi: Few know about the new girl at school. She's 17, has been labeled Gothic, and...not much else. But her past is coming back to haunt her...Her hair is raven black, with a blue sheen to it in the light. Her skin is pale, and her eyes are the color of her favorite beverage-- a double shot espresso. She's about 5'6" tall and weighs around 120 lbs. Today she's wearing a pair of baggy pants with a bunch of chains, D-rings, and zippers, a long sleeved purple shirt which is rather tight, a black leather overbust corset, a pair of black leather boots, and a ton of silver chain necklaces and bangles. She also is wearing a long coat, as it's Winter, and it has many metal piecings to it. Her makeup is heavy black eyeshadow and eyeliner and a plum colored lipstick. Her ears are pierced all the way up. Coming from a long line of priests and priestesses, Kagome has purification powers. She attends the archery academy next door to the gym Sango attends. Favorite food; chicken fried rice, color; silver, and band; Evanescence.
Sango Taijiya: The school punk. She can whip your ass all over the place in 1 minute flat. If she wants to. She's 17 as well. As soon as Kagome came to the school, Sango's been intrigued. They're close friends now. Sango's hair is a rich chocolate color with black lowlights, warm brown eyes, and she has a bit of a tan. Today she's wearing a pair of baggy dark blue jeans that drag the ground, burgundy t-shirt with a long sleeved black shirt beneath, a pair of black and red Chuck Taylor Converse, and a heavy denim coat that goes to her knees. Her eyes are rimmed in black and have red eyeshadow. (A/N: Sorry...but I like her better when I imagine her with red eyeshadow. -shrugs-) Her ears have 3 piercings, none in the cartilege. Her height is about the same as Kagome, and so is her weight. She's a bit more muscularly defined than Kagome, as she attends a gym every day of the week. Her favorite food is wakame salad, color is scarlet, and band is Slipknot.
Miroku Houshi: Class-A pervert. Only reason he's in the "group" is because a) he won't leave poor Sango alone no matter how many times she kicks his ass, and b) Sango happens to like him a bit, so she lets him stay...when his hands aren't wandering towards her backside. He has violet eyes, fairly tanned skin, and raven colored hair. His age is 18, and today he's wearing a black hoodie with a purple dragon design on the front (underneath he's wearing a black Element t-shirt), a pair of black baggy pants, and a pair of black Vans. He has a piercing in his left ear, a small yet thick golden hoop. Like the girls, he attends an after school type of activity. He comes from a long line of Buddhist monks. For that, he attends training every day after school for 3 hours. The place where he goes is about two blocks from where the girls go, so he often comes to see the girls...and sexually harrass them, earning himself several knocks on the head. He's about 5' 10". His favorite color is purple (odd for a guy, ne?), food is any kind of sushi, and band is The Rasmus.
Inuyasha: The quiet freak. He is only known by his first name, and not even the teachers know anything about him. Being a hanyou, he's beaten after and before school. Teachers do nothing about it. He goes to a therapist, but since he never says a word, nothing gets done. Miroku and Sango have tried to help him, but their efforts are always in vain. His eyes are like molten gold, his skin pale, hair white with a silvery sheen. Poking out of his hair on the top of his head are a pair of white dog ears, but he usually wears a hat over top of them. He's wearing a plain black hoodie covered in holes, a pair of black denim jeans wjich are rather baggy, a blood red shirt beneath his hoodie. His hat is on, and he wears a pair of cheap black sneakers. His long hair is pulled back with a hairband inbetween his shoulders. He has a watch and a gold chain necklace around his neck. After school he wanders the streets, alone. He's taller than the rest of the group at 6'. His favorite food is ramen (A/N: Anyone surprised?), color is red, and band is Three Days Grace. He has a kind of telepathy that very few know of.
Kirara Neko (A/N: xD! Sorry, told ya'll I'm not imaginative!) : Kirara is called a nerd in school. She's extremely intelligent, but for some reason people find it easy to pick on her about it. She knowsfour languages (Japanese, French, German,and English), advanced math, and advanced science. Her wavy, long blonde hair naturally has black streaks in it, as she's a youkai, and she has red eyes and two yellow cat tails. Her ears are pointed, like elf ears, and have one piercing. She has tanned skin, and is wearing a long camoflauge skirt, a black short sleeved shirt, black armwarmers, and a pair of hiking boots. She's always wearing a little choker with a bell on it, attached to a black ribbon. She's a freshman, and the shortest of the group - she's only 5' 3" tall. She has a boyfriend, and he happens to be Shippou. After school she is in math club. Her favorite food is red miso soup, color is gold, and band is Simple Plan. (A/N: I'm gonna make Kirara kinda like meh friend Angie. -cackles- Except she's more intelligent, no offense, Ang, and a kitty youkai, even though Angie doesn't like kitties. xP And Angie's tall...) Kirara lives next door to Sango.
Shippou Kitsune (A/N: x) I'm so creative, huh?) : This young youkai is a fox Demon, and the second shortest at 5' 4" tall. He has insanely frizzy auburn hair, slightly tanned skin, and emerald green eyes. He's classified as a skater, and has broken enough bones to prove it, too. He's a year older than Kirara (she's 14, he's 15), but is in the same grade since he stayed back. He's wearing a navy blue hoodie (A/N: I know. Too many hoodies. They end after Suichi, then come the evil ones whom wear pink and make my eyes burn. x-X;;; ), a pair of khaki pants, and a pair of black Converse All Stars. His hair is pulled back into a ponytail, but it's still really fuzzy. He has a tail, same color as his hair, but even frizzier. He has some control over fire, but his skill aren't very advanced. He doesn't do anything but skate after he gets home from school. His favorite color is emerald green, food is any kind of chocolate, and band is Linkin Park. He is constantly hassled by Emi for his Linkin Park poster that he taunts her with, often getting zapped in the process. He placed a spell on Emi's walls to make them flash like lightning in exchange for her protective service, as he's picked on for his height...or lack of.
Emi Mayonaka (A/N: ONE OF MY ORIGINAL CHARACTERS! D Based on me. o-O;;; ) : The most random person anyone will meet. Mood swings? Oh, yes. She's a storm hanyou, but cursed to look like a cat hanyou from birth. Unlike Inuyasha, she's not silent. In fact, the people that beat him are too afraid that she might freak out and tear them to shreds in one of her random blood lusts. They leave her alone until she's alone and not hyper, as she tends to be extremely violent. She's Kagome's younger cousin (on mother's side; their mothers are sisters). Her hair is short, messy, and black with silver streaks, skin is extremely pale, and she has long claws and fangs. On the sides of her head are a pair of cat ears, and she has a cat tail. Her eyes are goldish green with catlike pupils, and she's wearing a pair of Tripp pants, a black shirt that says "The Voices Hate You. A Lot," a pair of Converse, a black hoodie tied around her waist, along with a ton of silver bangles and chains. Everyday at 4PM, she goes to a Ju-Jitsu class 4 blocks from where the gym is. Favorite food; Bi-Bim-Bop (A/N: It's Korean. ; ), color; dark purple, band; Dir en Grey. She happens to fancy Shuiji, but denies it. Emi is in 11th grade, 16, and 5' 5". Kagome lives with her.
Suichi Takahashi: Inuyasha's younger cousin, also an inuhanyou. His hair is black, and he has a pair of dog ears atop his head, which are black. His skin is tanned, and eyes are purple and gold. He speaks a bit more than Inuyasha, but is much quieter than Emi. Suichi is wearing a dark navy hoodie that looks black, an off white shirt beneath, which says "Don't Worry, It's Not My Blood" over a burred crimson handprint, and a pair of black, extra baggy shorts. Suichi wears a pair of Vans that he stole from the back of a store. Around his neck is a thick silver chain that Emi gave him for his 15th birthday, which he never takes off. He and Inuyasha live with Inuyasha's half brother, Sesshoumaru, who's barely ever home. He tends to be able to get along with everyone, but everyone agrees that he's clostest to Emi and that the pair shall eventually date. His parents were murdered before his eyes when he was 6, so that's the reason he lives with Inuyasha. After school, he attends the same Ju-Jitsu class as Emi, which is how the two became friends. He is now 16, 5' 7", and in 11th grade. His favorite food is fried fish, color is grey, and band is The Used.
(A/N : I'm gonna save the preps, jocks, and evil beings for sometime when I feel like typing their profiles...)
Chapter One
Kagome sighed. Starting life over again was not suiting her very well at all. In one week, she had witnessed the murder of her family by her father, his suicide, and moved in with her Aunt Amaya. The young miko looked around, trying to become accustomed to all of this. Her room was painted with crimson walls with a silver glaze, and the floor was black carpet. Her four poster bed was silver, as was every metal piece in the room. In the corner was a small entertainment center, and on the eastern wall was a window, black and silver blinds and draps drawn tightly shut to keep the Saturday morning sun out. Hearing a quiet knock at the door, she turned around to see a pair of golden green cat eyes peering from the darkness of the hallway outside, though the crack in the open door. "Can I come in, Ka-chan?" asked a small voice. Kagome smiled softly and nodded. The figure darted into the room, closed the door quietly, and turned around. Behind her was a furry black cat tail, twitching in nervousness. Emi cocked her head at her older cousin, ears swiveling around. "What's wrong, Ka-chan?" the storm child asked, padding to the bed.
"Nothing, Emi...It's just different..." she murmured back, turning towards the closed window. "I know that it's really different, but it'll get better! We can go to Chain Lot downtown and get s'more stuff for your room, like posters. Personalize it in here better, y'know?" Emi replied with some hope. The entire room smelled of the sadness from Kagome, but in time, Emi hoped, there would be some happiness.
From under the bed popped out a big, furry, white head. Emi hung her head over the edge of the bed and smiled at it. "Hiya, Buyo!" she giggled, hair hanging all over the place. The fat cat pawed at the black locks and strode over to his little bed, instantly falling back to sleep. Emi got back up and gazed at Kagome's face sadly. "We're all here for you, Kagome. Okay, mostly I am, but Buyo is too!" She have a half smile to Kagome, whom nodded in response to the younger girl's comment. "Oh, mom and dad are gone. They had to go to some business meeting or something, so we'll be alone for the day. I'm making some breakfast, want any? It's more like brunch...heh...fried rice?"
Kagome's head shot up and she bolted out the door to the kitchen. "I'll take that as a yes!" Emi called, darting out the door to start cooking.
Noon, same day, same place
In her room, Emi downed her 4th Coke. She snickered; Kagome had never seen the extremely hyper insanity that Emi usually was. She looked around her room for her trash can. It seemed to disappear at times, greatly annoying her. The walls flashed and she giggled. It made her a bit giddy to be in the middle of a storm, for some reason, and it always seemed as if she was right in the middle of a hurricane in here.
"Emiiiiiiiii..." called a voice from her door. She snapped her eyes to it. "There's some boy here named Suichi. Are we allowed to have company here?"
She darted to the door. "Yeah, we are," she said to Kagome, and looked towards the front door. "Oi, Suichi, I thought y'had to work t'day?" Emi asked, leaning against a wall. 'Who's the new chick with you?' asked a voice in her head. "Feh. C'mon, get in, it's cold out there!" She scowled. Suichi pulled behind him a taller, leaner person. With silver hair.
"Okay, intro time!" Emi grabbed Kagome's hand and dragged her over into the living room. Kagome stumbled behind, with a puzzled expression on her face. "Inuyasha, this is Kagome. Kagome, the one with silver hair is Inuyasha. Suichi has the black hair."
Kagome looked them over. "You two...are you hanyou?" She was met with three nodding heads. "Wow! I never knew there were so many hanyou around here!" She pawed at Emi's ears. "How come you never told me that there are more half Demons around here?"
"You never asked!" Emi protested, sheilding her ears. The storm hanyou backed away from Kagome, and hit the couch. "Owww..." she whimpered.
"Everyone's going to the Void, and we wanted to come see if you and your cousin wanted to come," Suichi whispered to Emi. Inuyasha's face held a bit of a pink tint.
"'Ey, Ka-chan, wanna go to the Void with us? You can meet the nicer people around here over there, and make some friends before school starts." Emi twirled her keys on a claw. 'We drove, no need for you to bring your car.' Emi gave a quick glare to Inuyasha and put her keys away.
"Uhhh...Sure!..." Kagome said. "For the timebeing, please excuse us for a moment!" Emi called over her shoulder as the two girls bolted upstairs. Kagome darted into her room to put her boots on and get her wallet, and Emi bounced towards her own room to get her wallet and put her Converse on. In about two minutes, they came out. Kagome was pulling on her black coat, and Emi was shaking her head around to get her hair from underneath her hoodie. "OI, ya'll comin' down anytime soon!" came Suichi's voice, impatiently. "Yeah, yeah, yeah... Keep a hold on yourself!" Emi grunted as she jumped the stairs. Kagome came down a moment after her, looking a bit disguruntled. "Damn cold weather..." she growled, flicking a switch to turn out the lights. Inuyasha turned and opened the door, and the four were assaulted with cold air. "EYAAAAAAH! Cold, cold, colllldd!" Emi shouted, pushing everyone outside. She locked the door and ran towards the car at high speed, yelling for them to open the door. The rest of the group got to the car, unlocked it, and they all jumped in. For Emi, the jumping was quite literal.
Twenty minutes later, at the Void
Kagome looked around. She had imagined that the club would be packed, but it wasn't. "They open up at 5 PM, but since we're all close friends to the owner's son, we get in early and for free." Emi appeared behind Kagome, smiling. "Owner's son is named Miroku, but watch out - he's a total pervert. Can't keep his fucking hands to himself."
"That struck deep, Miss Emi!" said a deep male voice, feigning hurt. "Aw, shut the fuck up." His hand began to snake around towards Kagome.
A loud bbam/b was heard, and Miroku fell to the floor. Behind him stood a very pissed off looking taijiya. "Dumbass monk..." she growled at his twitching form. Turning to Kagome and Emi, she smiled brightly. "Hi, my name's Sango!" she said in a singsong voice, while Kagome looked shocked. "Uhh...hi...I'm Kagome..."
"Hey Sango, this is my cousin, Kagome!" Emi smirked at Miroku's still twitching self. "Idiot," she growled, and kicked at him lightly.
The front door opened, spilling bright light into the dark room. They squinted their eyes, trying to make out the sillouettes in the doorway...
