Suppressed

Disclaimer: I want to own Inuyasha! (just kidding, so please do not sue me) NOTE: I won't be writing disclaimer for the upcoming chapters, so this disclaimer is for the whole fanfic.

A/N: I cry easily so please don't contaminate my reviews page by flaming me (it's not true that I cry a lot)! Thank you. FYI, my fanfic is not really according to the storyline. (Inuyasha/Kagome is the main pairing. Sesshomaru/Rin is the side pairing.) And they might be OOC, just be warned. By the way, Rin is Kagome's elder cousin (Kagome is an only child) and they live together while Sesshomaru is Inuyasha's elder half brother.

Summary: AU In this present world, youkai, hanyou and human exist. But hanyou were regarded as neither human nor demon so they were usually looked down upon by people. When Inuyasha was in high school, he was being teased and bullied by his schoolmates. But when Kagome joined his school and met him, his way of thinking of humans changed. They were very good friends. But would they like each other more than just frineds when time passed by? And what is Kagome hiding? Please R&R!

NOTE: Some vulgarity used in this fanfic. Rated T because of some snogging in upcoming chapters. (I sound so serious. LOL.)

Age: Inuyasha: 16, Kagome: 16, Rin: 22 (going on 23), Sesshomaru: 25

Chapter One: Prologue

"All right, Kagome! We are going to move our house to Tokyo soon!" Rin announced as she came back from school. She was studying at a nearby university andwent backhome quite late.

"NANI?" Kagome thought she could faint at what she just heard. "What is wrong with Osaka? We've lived here for the past three years! And besides, I've already made very good friends here!"

Rin did not say anything about Kagome's objection to shifting house. She simply walked into the kitchen and got herself a drink. She took a sip of green tea from her cup before continuing, "We are moving to Tokyo. Subject closed."

"Wait... today's not April Fools' Day, is it? You're not joking with me, are you?" Kagome said as she raised her eyebrow.

"Of course I am not joking with you. What makes you think I am?" Rin asked as she sat lazily on the sofa, picking up the remote control andsurfing through the TVchannels. She took another sip and sighed, "All the television shows nowadays are boring."

"I'm not talking about television shows! I am objecting to your decision to go to Tokyo! And what makes you want go there anyway?" Kagome said furiously. She was mad at how Rin was so cool and composed over that matter while she was angry and fuming away.

"Well, it's because, this is my last year at university and hopefully, I'll graduate. Right now, I'm working part-time and the wages are just enough for us to make our ends meet every month. When I finally graduate, I really hope to find a better job in Tokyo so that we could have more money to spend. Besides, our relatives are there. We can contact them easier," Rin replied casually.

"NO! We are NOT going there! I don't care about the money! And besides, I DON'T WISH TO SEE THEM! THOSE FUCKING IDIOTS! Those bastards had refused to take me in when my parents died in the accident and it just makes my blood boil!" Kagome yelled. Suddenly, images of the incident shot through her brain. That incident had been etched deeply into her mind for as long as she could remember.

Flashback...

On that very fateful night, Kagome's father decided to go out for dinner. Kagome was only 10 then. He was driving her mother and her to a restaurant. But halfway through the journey, they were involved in a car accident. Her father did not manage to swerve away from another car that was driving at high speed towards them sothe cars crashed. Kagome had suffered from severe injuries, but her parents were dead. She was left all alone in this world and felt lonely and solemn. She had nobody to comfort her and confide her feelings to. No one, not even her relatives, was willing to take care of her. She was then taken care of by the orphanage.

At that time, Rin pitied Kagome, so when she was of age, she decided to adopt her. Until now, Kagome had been living with Rin. Kagome was very grateful to Rin in her heart. Although she never expressed her feelings to Rin, her actions spoke a lot for her.

Back to present time...

"All right! Kagome! Calm down!" Rin said.

"WHY? Why must they be so selfish? Why can't they be more compassionate?" Kagome's anger had turned to misery. She wailed loudly. Seeing as how Kagome was sad, Rin patted Kagome on the back lightly.

"It's okay, let it all out now. You'll feel better after crying," Rin said as she sighed at how Kagome had been suffering in silence for so long. She pitied her a lot. Kagome had always masked her feelings. The Kagome she knew was cheerful, bubbly and strong in her heart. She was slightly taken aback at Kagome's sudden outburst. But that's what you call having a human heart, she thought, humans have emotions after all.

Okay, so how was it? I know it's boring but please review! Your reviews are greatly appreciated! (smile) (By the way, I don't know anything about Japan's education and their way of life. So anything that I've written wrongly about Japan, gomen! And I might not write as long as this chapter in upcoming chapters.)

Meaning of these Japanese words mentionedabove (next time, I might add my fave German word, quasi (meaning: as if) in my fic) :

nani - what
gomen - sorry
ja ne - see you later (or was it bye?)
