Chapter 1

I was lying awake with Sota sleeping on my lap. We were in a forest. Where else would we go? Oh you're thinking, Well what about a relatives house? Right? Well, either they were dead, or they just don't want anything to do with us. Well anyways, there is not that much food anywhere. There is no place we can go for food because, A.) We don't have money, and B.) No one made a food store for people like us.

Sota woke up. "Hi sleepy head." I said.

"How long was I asleep for?" He asked. I didn't have a watch, so I just said a long time. "Oh. I'm hungry." I didn't say anything. He knew we didn't have money or food. It was just a statement to know one in particular.

"Well, we should start going." I meant it as in there is no place to go, but we can't stay here for the rest of our lives. We got up, and headed out of the forest.

"Kagome look! It's a dollar!" Sota ran ahead, bumping people, to a crinkled up dollar. I just smiled. Sota looked like he just saved the world. I've never seen him so happy. We eventually found a machine with food in it. "What do you want Kagome?" I looked at him.

"Sota, since you found the dollar, YOU get something for yourself." I said with a fake smile. He looked at the dollar, then at me.

"What do you want?" He asked again. I looked at the machine, took the dollar, and got the Doritos. I gave Sota the bag. He looked at me. "But you hate Doritos." I knew that he loved Doritos, so I got them for him.

"I know. I got them for you." He looked at me teary eyed.

"But, but, I don't want you to starve."

"I wont, remember, I'm bigger than you, so I don't need that much food. Besides, I'm not hungry right now anyways." I lied. I was STARVED. But the first thing I said was true.

"But what if we don't find anything when you do get hungry?" He asked. That question, I did not know the answer to.

"We'll find something. I promos." He cheered up a little bit, opened the bag, and started to shove the Doritos in his mouth. I just smiled. All of a sudden, this man yelled.

"Would you get out of the way! You've been done for like a hour!" I looked at him.He had white hair with a cap on, and a red suite like thing. Then, another man stepped in front of him.

"I'm sorry for my friends ruddiness. You see, when he sees such beauty from one, he just cant help from yelling." This guy had black hair tied in the back. He was wearing shorts and a baggy black and purple shirt. I gave him a confused look.

"MIROKU! You ass hole!" The other man shouted again.

"Inuyasha! Don't yell at Miroku for your mistake for letting yourself show! Jeeze!" This time a girl came. She also had black hair. It was tied in a ponytail.

"All of you are such idiots! All I wanted to do was get some Fritos! Is that so hard to do!" Inuyasha screamed.

"With me here? Yep!" Miroku answered.

"If you'll excuse us, we better be going on our way, we have someplace important we have to go." I said, even though we didn't.

"Oh, wait a second! I haven't asked you your name yet!" Miroku said.

"Kagome and Sota, Bye." Inuyasha over heard Sota saying they don't have someplace to be.

"What a minute! I've heard those names before!" Inuyasha yelled. He put his head down and started to think, while Miroku and the girl looked at him.

After about 2 minutes, the girl said, "Don't stress your brain to hard Inuyasha." He just looked up.

"Why was I at the vending machine again?" The girl and Miroku looked at each other and sighed.

"Kagome, who were they?"

"I have know idea." Sota and I wakled away from the three. It was about until 4-5 more hours 'till I got so hungry, but of course, I didn't show it. We passed a 7-11 on our way to know where. I know that they have a change thing with some quarters and pennies and stuff, and water was only 25 cents.

I went in and Sota followed, not questioning. I took 50 cents from the bowl and paid for 2 water's. Sure it didn't fill me up, but it was something. It was getting late and I was just on the verge of passing out when we heard an announcement.

"Anyone who gets the highest score on the new video game, 'terror of the vaults', gets 2 free meals for 'Tuesdays'.'' Sota and I quickly looked at each other. Guess who is the all time champ at video games? That's right, ME. Who said girls cant do things guys could do? Is that a rule? Well, I don't care!

When I signed up, everyone was looking at me. As in everyone, I mean all of the people who signed up. I think that's a pretty stupid offer…but what the heck? I thought.

"Okay, everyone, on your mark, get set, go!" the announcer yelled. After 10 minutes went bye, the game was over. Some people added up the scores and checked them over. He announcer came on. "Everyone, we have a winner! The winner is, Ka…" everyone went silent, especially Sota and I. "Kazuo!" Sota and I were speechless. We just walked out without saying a word.
