Hi, how do you like it so far, well let's get back to the story.
Kagome sat back and slid down the sofa. She sighed. She really only liked missions for the way she could take out her frustration. Then again, so much for her freedom crap. She was a caged bird just like the rest, but no way she would be caged by her own heart. The only reason she ever started working for Naraku was because she didn't want to go to an orphanage. Kagome closed her eyes. She could just feel the thoughts of her past in her head. Mustering up trouble.
I woke up pretty early that day, I woke up because that night,…I didn't dream. Not one thing. I rubbed my eyes and climbed out of my bed. I was seven back then. And my bed was too big for me, so I had to use a small stool to get up and off of it. After I managed to crawl off, I rubbed my eyes and lazily headed down to my parents room. Hoping they could tell me a story so I could get to bed. And hopefully dream. About…anything, at that point I was desperate for sleep. Being so young as I was.
I was walking down to the kitchen to get a drink first before I would go to them, but their door creaked a little open. I was curious so I walked over to their door. I wish I hadn't, when I opened it, I saw the worst thing in my entire life. My heart stopped beating. I couldn't move…I, I…I couldn't scream. I was stuck in the doorway. My parents, they weren't' breathing.
I looked at my parents for quite a while. Hoping with all my heart they'd move. I walked over to my parents. And I sat down next to them. Silence. Never thought I could love dark and quiet so much, but I did. I cried. I always use to cry. I closed my eyes. I couldn't look at them. I knew they were my parents. But I was so ashamed of them. I was so ashamed of myself.
I left the room in despair, I had to call the police. It was the right thing to do, and all I could think about was how my parents had died in the first place. It made me cry again. Why was I so weak? I hated myself for it. I wen outside and sat down on the steps of our shrine. I could see all of Kyoto. My weeping was silent, it was so quiet out, that my cries seemed to echo through the world. I hadn't noticed it, but someone had sat down beside me. I looked up. Amber. That was the color I saw. The man that had sat down next to me had amber eyes. The strangest color, almost demonic. Than I noticed the ears.
He had dog ears. Right on top of his head. I thought I was dreaming, but it was real. He petted my head and said everything was ok. He looked just as old as my own father. And just as comforting. He said I had to make him a promise. I had to never cry again. I held out my pinky, my mother and me always made pinky promises. And so did he. And I stopped crying. He just smiled.
The strange man gave me a hug, and took out a baseball cap form a knapsack he had carried with him. He put it on my head, it was so big, it covered my eyes. When I finally managed to adjust it, he was gone. I never leave home without his baseball cap. Even if my home changes when I do.
Kagome sighed again and took off the baseball cap. She walked up to her room and slipped into her night clothes. After washing her face, she laid down on her bed and closed her eyes. She never did like sleeping with a blanket. It made her sleep faster. She liked being cold when she woke up every morning. Though people might have found it strange. She really never cared much for being weird, or cool. Kagome wasn't into stereotypes.
Kagome's phone started ringing. Kagome slowly rose from her bed and looked at it. The clock on her bedside said four twenty. "Hello?" Kagome said in her usual harsh tone. "I got you a job." Naraku said on the other line. "I thought I was taking care of that girl Tuesday?" Kagome said waking up a little more. "No, a cover up job." Naraku said. "What is it?" Kagome asked in a bit of a harsh yet sarcastic tone. "Flare bartender." Naraku said. "But I-" Kagome was interrupted by the phone clicking, he'd hung up.
Out of all the places in Smallville there was only one bar. So it wouldn't be so hard to find. And she still needed to order those metal shelves. Kagome looked down the hall to her library, behind the bookshelf was where the room was hidden. All you'd have to do is put in the password. Which no one knew, not even Naraku.
She would take care of everything the next morning. "I'm only happy when it rains. I'm only happy when it's complicated, and though I know you can't appreciate it. I'm only happy when it rains. You know I love it when the music's bad, why it feels so good to feel so sad. I'm only happy when it rains. Pour your misery down on me. Pour your misery down on me-" Kagome sat up and threw her clock at the wall. She rubbed her eyes slowly and looked at it. Sometimes she'd throw things when she was in some state of sleep. Even if she wasn't asleep, as long as she wasn't paying attention, there was a risk of hurting them.
"God dammit, I hate it when that happens." Kagome got up and after washing up she went downstairs. Today's outfit was a regular pair of blue jeans, A black tank top, and a denim jacket over it. Along with her trusted gray all stars. Kagome grabbed her skateboard, baseball cap and bookbag and she was on her way. "Hello dear!" Her neighbor said again. And again Kagome ignored her. While Kagome was skateboarding through town, she noticed some people still looking at her. Kagome started going faster, she hated attention. She wasn't into the whole stage fright thing. But she just hated it.
When Kagome did get to school, she had half an hour to find a part of the school no one usually went to. Some place dark, and secure, and outside.
"Hey!" Kagome turned around, it was Sango. "Hello." Kagome said she was looking around the school, still a bit distracted. "You looking for something?" Sango asked noticing that she was overlooking the school. "Yeah, a place to get away from you." Kagome mumbled. "What was that?" Sango asked. "Oh, I said a place to get a registration form." Kagome said.
"Ok, so let me give you the tour!" Sango grabbed Kagome's arm and tugged her inside. "This is a hallway." Sango said. "Well no damn shit it is." Kagome was getting pissed, she wasn't in pre-k. "Hey Sango, don't treat her like too much like an idiot." A guy walked up behind them. Unfortunately for him Kagome wasn't paying very much attention.
As he waved hi Kagome grabbed his arm and flipped him over her back and he landed hard on the ground. "Did I say something wrong?" He asked. "Hn? What?" Kagome said looking down. "Hey you still got arms legs and a heart beat, what are you complaining about?" Kagome said. "Well thank you miss, no don't bother helping me up, I'm perfectly fine!" He said with as much sarcasm as possible. "Whatever you tow, Kagome this is Miroku, Miroku, this is Kagome." Sango said making that not so necessary introduction.
"Sup." Kagome said looking around the place again. Kids were all over the hallways. One caught her eye. "Whose he?" Kagome said pointing to a boy filling things into his locker. "Who Inuyasha?" Sango said. Kagome nodded. He had amber eyes, and the same color hair. Was he related to her hero? "Oh, you don't want to bother trying to talk to him, he doesn't talk to anyone. Sometimes when new students come they think they can get through to the poor guy, but after failing miserably they stop trying. He doesn't speak to anyone, doesn't hang out with anyone. Forget him, Inuyasha is a lost cause." Sango said.
Kagome didn't like what she was saying. "Maybe I'm a lost cause? Would you still hang out with me?" Kagome said harshly. "It's not like that Kags." Miroku said. "Oh really? Then what is it like!" Kagome yelled. "Gotta run. Catch up with you later." Kagome said purposely bumping Sango's shoulder as she walked past them.
"Maybe we should apologize." Miroku said. "Naw, leave her alone for a while." Sango said.
Kagome decided somewhere on the roof would be decollate enough for her. She climbed up the steps and onto the rocky roof top, she would spend her time before classes everyday right here.
Well that's the chapter! R&R!
