Chapter Two- Kagome and Sango
"I don't wanna go over to gramma and granpa's, its so boring!" I complained.
I was only three years old at the time and didn't have much of an attention span. I got bored very easily it would only take about five minutes before I would be whining to leave.
"Your cousin Mika will be there." my mother said.
"But she doesn't like playin with me! She likes ta play with Yaone!"
"Stop complaining. Lets go already." my older sister Yaone decided to but in.
For only a twenty minute drive it seemed to last forever. We were on our way to my grandparents house, on my fathers side. There was no real reason for us to be going over, just a small family gathering. We hadn't been there for an hour before I started to complain. Finally after a half an hour of begging to my mother she said it was okay for me to go to the park, of course my sister had to come as well. It wasn't a very long walk just down to the end of the street. I pulled my short black hair into a small pony tail and ran to the swings. While I was there I noticed another girl, totally ignored by all the other children. She was small for her age her long black reached down to the small of her back. Her skin was sickly pale and her white tattered dress was falling off her shoulder. No shoes adorned her feet and she had dirt smudges all over her body. I felt sorry for her, but my sister was pulling me away back to my grandparents house for lunch.
After a quick meal my sister and I were back down the road headed back for the park. A little orange cat walked out of the bush from the house next to my grandparents home. I picked the cat up petting and cooing at it. My sister had finally got fed up and decided to head down to the park on her own.
"His name is Joey." the voice was soft and sweet, it was the girl from the park.
"Is he yours?" I asked.
"Yup. My name is Sango. What's yours?"
"Kagome."
We walked down to the park talking and giggling. At the park we played for hours all the other children going out of their way to avoid us. But before we knew it, the sun was setting and the we both had to be home. That night I stayed over at my grandparents house. Of course I spent most of my time with Sango. That night we curled up together in my grandparents backyard and slept under the stars.

The years went by, Sango and I remained the best of friend now seven years old we had been seeing each other almost every weekend and counted down the days when we would see each other again. Unfortunately Sango's family was having trouble with money and people including my own grandmother were trying to get her family kicked out of the neighbor hood. The family could not pay the bills already they had their phones, water and heat turned off. Change's that were being made on the house had to be put on hold making it look like a wasteland.
My grandmother was always complaining about how the house looked and how Sango and her brother had to bathe in the pool. Sango's mother had been in a car accident about a year ago and the family was having a hard time getting everything back together. Sango's mother had barely survived and to add to all her broken bones, bruises, and cuts she also had suffered brain damage. Not long after she had a stroke related to her injuries from the accident causing her only more brain damage. She was no longer able to work. That left Sango's brother and father to bring in money. Naraku, Sango's father, was a devious man, a man who claimed to be a man of the Christian faith. He went to a physician and was declared legally blind and unable to find work with his education. Although you could always find him outside reading his Bible or driving down the street. Leaving only Sota, Sango's oldest brother and the person who had been teaching us about Wicca, the one to work. But he was only sixteen years old. He worked as much as he could at a small book store, but he was only paid six dollars an hour. Sota gave all his money to his family, but it wasn't nearly enough for a family of four to live off of.
Sango's family was not the only one having problems. My family had just moved into a new house. Yaone was having no trouble adjusting to the move and the new school. On the other hand I was. No one seem to like me at the new school they all made fun of the strange clothes that would have been considered cool at my other school. I hardly ate anything since the move. My mother was very concerned with me and decided to send me into therapy. I was forced into therapy and went Tuesday and Thursdays. Not only that, but everyday I was made to eat lunch and spend recess with the schools guidance counselors. They all said the same thing that I was depressed and should be put on medication. One thing they couldn't figure out is why I was so frightened of death and the dark. It was simple I had been having dark nightmares, literally everything in the room was completely dark. I heard screams, ear splitting screams, and then the lights would come on and laying on the ground was a women. Blood pooled around her and I was pretty sure she was dead. But I would never talk about that to anyone, but Sango of course. They tried doing everything to find out what was really wrong with me. The doctors went through many tests, did several CAT scans of my head, but they found nothing.
We spent every second we could together thinking any minute could be the last, since Sango's family was trying unsuccessfully to find a new home. But one day Sango didn't come out and play. She couldn't come out the next day or the day after that and I was beginning to get worried.
"Gramma. Why can't Sango come out and play anymore?" I finally decided to ask.
My grandmother took me inside the house and sat me down in her lap, "Kagome, I have to tell you something very important."
