The Bruised and The healed

BY:S.A.M

Rin and Kagura were side by side.The two step sisters were skateboarding towards school.They were best friends and did almost everything together. They had sepereate jobs and a few seperate classes."You had to wake up late didn't you?"Kagura said to her sister."You were supposed to wake me up!"Rin exclaimed. Rin grinded a rail and went on skateboarding."You have to learn responsibility!"Kagura said. Rin raised her eyebrow."OK maybe not"Kagura said.

Kagura-Rocker,thick black hair below the shoulder that glistened in the sun. She was a gothic teenager who dressed usually in black and dark shades of green and red.That day she wore a black happy-bunny t-shirt that said 'I'll try to be nicer if you try to be smarter' and jeans.

Eventually the school began see-able."I bet I can beat you!"Rin called."You wish!"Kagura said picking up speed.Just then they heard a car.They stopped and Rin fell to the ground.A red bug beetle stopped 2 feet from them.They instantly recognized the car."AYAME!"they both yelled in unison.

Ayame-a rock/regeaton cheerleader.She had joined the Varsity squad the first year of highschool,making this her third year of cheerleading.Her boyfriend,Kouga was a basketball player.She was cool with the girls and guys just the same.

Rin looked at her with rage in her hazel eyes."You have GOT to be more careful"the young girl said,standing up and dusting herself off.

Rin; a rocker with an attitude.She was about 5"5 with black hair up her mid-back and a red streak to the right of her hair.She had hazel eyes and that day wore a military tanktop, caqui cargos and her hair up in a side pony-tail.

Ayame got out of the car and looked at the girls apologetically."I'm sorry!"she offered sincerely. She wore a hot pink mini slash hem skirt and a black tanktop that said 'Life, Get One' in highlighter-pink letters.

Kagura and Rin looked at each other as if reading each other's thoughts through their eyes. There was an akward silence and then Rin finally spoke up."Fine, as long as you move your car"

"I hate math"Kagome said sadly.

The two had seated each other in their usual seats, the back, Kagome on the left, Sango on the right.

(Seating Chart so Far:
Kagome, Sango, Kouga, Inu)

Ayame, Rin and Kagura then came in."Dude over here!"Kagome called to them. They all greeted each other and soon, Rin sat in the seat in front of Kagome, Kagura in the seat in front of Sango, and Ayame in front of Kouga.

Eventually, Ms.Carin came in and class started.

"Pss!Kagome!"Sango whispered and passed her a note. Kagome rolled her eyes and opened it.

'Dude,think you can come over today?' the note read.

She wrote a few words and passed it back.

'Can't,work.' it said 'PS:New job'

Sango scoffed and class went on with no interuptions.

Later that night:

Kagome looked in the mirror and rolled her eyes."Looks fine to me"She thought. Right then, Souta came in. "You think you'll be ok?"Kagome asked him. Souta rolled his eyes. "I'll be FINE"he insisted."You go to work." Kagome smiled at her little brother. She leaned over towards him and said "Sleep by 12:30, homework done, up tommorow, no going outside"

Souta kissed her cheek and smiled. "Read my lips."he said and then slowly continued. "I'll. Be. Fine."Kagome smiled at him "Fine, I trust you." Kagome said and went out the open window.

"Finally" Souta said and threw himself on his beanbag. Kagome appeared in the windowsill. "Behave squirt"she said to him."I will,you taught me how,ogre"he said "NOW GO!"

Kagome dissapeared and a few minutes later Souta heard her motorcycle start about a block away. He proceeded in locking the window and doors and doing his homework.

Kagome took off her helmet and got off her motorcycle. She had arrived at Pizza Hut, her job.

She went inside and instantly put on her apron, now knowing her routine by memory. She was assistant manager, after all. "Ok people, where's the new kid?"she demanded to her staff.

Gabi came out just then. Gabi was a worker at Pizza Hut. 5"8,slightly thin with black curls up to her shoulders and huge blue eyes.

"Gabi, where's the new kid?"she demanded. "Not here yet" Gabi responded. "God, I hate irresponsible people. "Kagome said shaking her head. "Who you calling irresposible?"a guy's voice said from behind.

Now that the story is udpdated:

Gabi:Because Christie bought her the car and Kagome pays half of it.
