Flash back!

"Ok, bye Mommy!" little 2-year-old Kagome cried out to her mom, waving her hand frantically. Her first day at pre-school. She was young, too young, but smart. She entered the class room to see a little girl her age in her class. She didn't talk to her, no one liked Kagome. Later out on the play ground that little girl in her class was coming down the slide. Kagome went up to her; the little girl looked at her funny.

"Will you be my friend?" The girl named Sango shyly asked.

"Yeah, I'm Kagome." she said, smiling a grin Kagome would never forget. Sango smiled back. They knew they would be best friends forever.

End Flash back!

Kagome was looking out of her window, remembering her childhood. She grew up in a little private elementary school, Beman Park; it only had about 30 kids there so if you went there, you knew everyone. So, Kagome didn't have many friends.

The only one she had was Sango. But she left, a while into their elementary school teaching. Kagome grew up cold and alone for most of her life. No one wanted to play with her; no one wanted to be around her. Although Sango came around every weekend it seemed. She wouldn't admit it, but she was the saddest when Sango had to cancel.

Kagome also moved during elementary school, her old house was little, white, with a big porch in the back. Her new house was huge, with a pool and her room, bigger than the rest. She was happy, if only for then. The movers scared her and they put her bed together wrong. And still it stands today, still together wrong.

And now, this was her first day of middle school. She put on her school clothes and prepared for the worst.

Her brother, Souta, was in 8th grade. (Yeah, Souta is older than Kag in this story) He was instructed to ride her to school and back each day.

"Hurry up Kagome, we don't want to be late!" her brother shouted at her from his bike, speeding up.

'How can we be late we are riding to school 2 hours early!' she yelled at her brother in her head. Kagome kicked up the speed on her bike.

They got to the school, turning into the bike rack. Kagome locked up her bike as she was instructed.

"Get out of my face." Her brother scolded her. Kagome looked down at the damned gray cement and went to where her first class was.

RING!

She went into her classroom and picked a seat at the front. Other people slowly came in and chose their seats. Kagome looked down at her seat.

"Ok students, put your desks in a circle, and we'll all get to know each other." The teacher told them. They all moved their desks next to their friends and talked.

"Ok, ok students, now, we'll go around and tell us your name and something about you."

"I'm Kikyo, and um…I don't know." Her friends snickered at her. "Kikyo you're so stupid." One of them told her.

They all went around and said their name and something they liked to do, or something about them, maybe making a stupid joke.

All her classes pretty much went the same way for the rest of the day.

Days went on, home work, tests, new friends, but Kagome wasn't happy. She went to the bike rack one day and saw a girl, getting her bike out to go home. Kagome had seen this girl before, she went pretty much the same way she did, so, Kagome decided to meet her. She hopped on her bike and followed after her. She found her and rode her bike right up next to her.

"Hi, I'm Kagome" She said sticking her hand out, almost falling off her bike.

"Nanako" She stuck her hand out, giving her a look like she was the weirdest person on the planet. They shook hands. Another friend couldn't hurt, she didn't have many. They rode home together everyday until one day.

"Hey, Nanako!" Kagome shouted.

"Oh, hey Kagome, I'm gonna ride home with them from now on, see ya later." She said getting on her bike and riding off with two 8th grade girls leaving Kagome without another friend, left, again.

Days, months passed. Kagome was left, alone and without many friends. She stayed in contact with Nanako, figuring that the 8th graders wouldn't be there next year, and she would be. Granted, she would be only a fall-back but it was better than nothing.

Kagome had other friends, two, in gym. They were nice girls, made her feel like there's good people in the world. But they……they just weren't enough. They weren't best friends, they weren't friends…they were just…there.

There was this boy, she would never admit she liked. He sat next to her during English. Long blonde hair and didn't stop talking, even about the most absurd things.

Everyday she would ask her teachers if they needed help in the morning, because she got there damned early, and no one was around.

"Hey Kagome, what are you doing for the summer?" Kagome's dad asked, it was near the end of the year, summer's shinning sun was drawing nearer and nearer.

"Oh, I don't know. I was thinking of going to the ninth grade center, it's a day camp during the summer." Kagome told her father. Kagome went into her room and turned on the radio, drowning the sound of her trying to cry the misery out of her.

Dreams invaded her mind. Black, that's all she could see. There was a spot light on her; she called out to someone, anyone who would hear her. No one answered. She was alone, and in the dark.

Kagome woke up in a cold sweat. 'A dream, it was a dream' she re-assured herself. 'Just a dream……..'
