Chapter Two:

DDR challenge

Last time

Kagome gasped when the song ended. That song always got to her every time. She even thought about suicide once. She quickly closed the T.V; not wanting to feel more emotional, and as she close it, she could hear footsteps coming downstairs, and she knew that it wasn't her mothers…

This time

The footsteps became louder. "Who goes there?" Kagome called. Of course, knowing Kagome, she was not scared. But she wanted to know who had slept with her mother this time. Last week it was her neighbor Mr. Sasaki, yesterday was her doctor, Dr. Kaytaka, and the day before yesterday was her old homeroom 9th grade teacher from last year, Mr. Chang. And Kagome always thought that Mr. Chang was gay. Ew, bad images of gay Mr. Chang. Anyways, the person got closer, but Kagome couldn't see his face because of the dark. And when the lights opened, it revealed a hideous, creepy, and definitely weird man with long hair. His hair was like a dark purple-ish color and his facial expression was the worst part! He wore dark purple eye-liner and dark purple eye-shadow. Kagome scanned his outfit and paused. He's crossed the line! That's my bath robe! Kagome thought. The creep-looking man smiled at her. "Hi, my name is Naraku Onigumo. So I'm guessing that you're Lena's daughter am I correct? What's your name child?" he asked as he placed his hand on her chin. Kagome slapped his hand away. "Don't touch me!" Kagome hissed. The man Naraku was a little startled at first, but then chuckled. "I'm guessing that you're mad because I'm wearing your bath robe." Naraku said making in more of a statement than a question. Kagome shot him one of the most deadliest glares he'd ever seen. Naraku was a little intimidated no lie about that, but it was her darkness and her unique ability that interested him the most.

Even though Kagome's cup noodles were done, she had a feeling that she wasn't hungry anymore, and couldn't eat after witnessing a figure this ugly standing in front her. He moved in closer towards Kagome. But Kagome didn't flinch, she just glared daggers at Naraku. "Naraku baby, I've warmed up the water for us." Kagome's mother said as she wrapped her arms around Naraku. That was the most disturbing sight Kagome had ever seen. Her mother paused. "What do you think you're doing bitch! Trying to steal my man, slut!" her mother accused, as she released her arms from Naraku's neck and then slapped Kagome. Now Kagome had a red mark on her right cheek. Kagome glared at her mother with great intensity, and then she smirked. "Well, you shouldn't be talking, mother. Because it seems like you go around stealing other women's men, and quite frankly, it is you who.is.a.slut!" Kagome pointed out while saying those last four words slowly. Her mother slapped her again, and now blood was dripping from her mouth. Kagome licked the blood. "Lena, give the girl a break. After all, you're the one that I love." Naraku said as he kissed the lips of Kagome's mother. Kagome's mother giggled. "I'll be waiting..." she said as she kissed him back. She shot Kagome a glare as she walk back upstairs, and then blew kisses to Naraku.

After Kagome's mother was out of sight, Naraku made his attention back to Kagome. He licked his lips. "You are quite the young girl. So young, yet so naive. But if you come to my side, then I could teach you obedience, so how about it." Naraku offered as he stepped closer. "I'd rather eat a frog fuck face!" and with that, Kagome punched Naraku in the eye. Yea, you heard me, PUNCHED! Naraku's eye was bleeding and had a thick black circle around it. Naraku stood there, a little stunned. "You little bitch!" Naraku yelled. Wow, I seemed to be called that a lot. Kagome thought. While she was off guard, Naraku grabbed her and forced himself on her. But then she kicked him in the shins, punched him in the other eye, kicked him off of her, and then she slapped him several times. It was several short slaps, just fucking with his head and all. "Don't you ever... try that on me again, fuck face!" Kagome threatened as she ran to her room; leaving a very angry and stunned Naraku.

As Kagome walk to her room, she could see her mother running downstairs to see what the ruckus was about. Kagome smirked again, and then she went in her room.

Her room wasn't that big, or that small, but it was a good size. It had a lot of junk in it. The walls were painted black with bloody red flames spray painted on it. Kagome decorated her whole room herself. In the center of the wall near her bed, it wrote out Kagome in bloody red letters with a phoenix bird next to it. And on the opposite wall, it wrote out, "If you aren't remembered... then you never existed!" written in the same way as her name. She had a queen size bed with black sheets on the outside and red in the inside. Her windows were tinted black and had red curtains around it. She had a lot of posters up on the walls. There were Green day, AC/DC, All American Rejects, Good Charlotte, Simple Plan, System of Down, Korn, Blink 182, you name it, she had it. There were even some on the ceilings. And she also had an amazing CD collection. She had some rap, but that was rare. The only rapper she listened to was John Cena, Cassidy, and a few others. But mostly, she had rock music.

Kagome grabbed her Fall Out Boy CD and then she popped it in her radio and blasted up the volume. The first song was 'Dance, Dance'. (A/n: Ok, I still don't have the Fall Out Boy album 'From under the cork tree' so I don't know the order of the music so don't flame me for that)

(A/n: If I put down the lyrics, then it would take too much line space, so I'm not going to, okie dokie?)

And after the song ended, there was a scream coming from outside. Kagome paused her radio and knew just what the scream was about. "Poor Naraku..." Kagome said, sighing. "MY CAR!" Naraku exclaimed again from the outside. Kagome was in a good mood today, so she turned her radio back on and climbed on her bed. The next song was 'Sugar we're going down'. That was Kagome's favorite of all the songs on that album. Kagome rested her head on the pillow. Her expression changed to a frown. Kagome was starting school in 2 days and she still needed to shop for clothes. She thought about what her new school would be like. Kagome sniggered. "What am I thinking? They're all the same. Just mocking me and judging me. With those hot shot jocks and material girls... they're all the same and that can never change. No matter where I go..." Kagome began to darken. "They're all the same." Kagome could see a tear drop slide down from her chocolate brown eyes, and soon, millions more streamed down. The worst part of the new school thing, was that Sango wasn't going to be there with her. One; because of her injury, and two; because she dropped out of school a year ago and vowed never to come back. And if that wasn't bad enough, there was a huge BOOM! And then her door burst open. Standing there, was her mother, angry as ever. "You bitch! You good for nothing worthless piece of trash! How dare you do that to my date! Who do you think you are bitch!" came her mother's angry voice. Her mother threw her radio on the ground and picked up a wire.

"You're the reason my life is ruined!" her mother struck her with the wire. Kagome held in her pain and leaped off her bed. "You shouldn't of been fucking around with some guy then!" Kagome shot back; while dodging the whips. Suddenly, she was struck in the head. It hurt like a bitch! There was tons of blood dripping and her head was practically cracked open. "I hope you die!" her mother yelled as she began whipping Kagome over and over again. But Kagome didn't yell in pain, she held it in with pride. She was bleeding all over and there were scars everywhere. Her mother dropped the whip and then slapped Kagome. "This is just a warning, but do this again, and you're dead!" her mother warned as she gave Kagome one last slap before leaving.

Kagome laid there in silence. Why couldn't her family be like other families? Why was she cursed to live this life? Why couldn't she just died or something? "Why…" was Kagome's last word before she was knocked out from exhaustion.

The Next Day

As Kagome lay there sleeping, she felt a hot beam of ray against her face. She slowly opened her eyes. She shot up. She looked at her watch. Kagome's head was still hurting. She painfully tried to get up to go to the bathroom and take a shower, but nearly fell. She took a deep breath and pulled her muscles together. She walked to the door; trying to walk normally, but failed and ended up limping her way. As Kagome walk down the hall, she could see her mother drunk out on the sofa through the railing. Kagome looked at her mother in disgust and then went to the bathroom. While she was in there, she looked at herself in the mirror. Luckily her face wasn't as scratched, but when she stripped her clothes, you could see everything. Her skin was nasty because it ripped and there were a lot of scars, bruises, whip marks, and even BITE marks! Kagome sighed as she brushed her teeth with her custom tooth brush that was red and black, with skulls and chains around it and it wrote out My Chemical Romance. (A/n: How the hell does she brush her teeth with all those chains and stuff!) After she was done, she rinsed her mouth and yawned. She began opening the water and felt it until it was warm enough. And here comes the pain. When she hopped in the shower, the water burned her skin. She couldn't take it anymore, so she screamed. Even blood was dripping down from her back to her front. "It hurts... it hurts so badly!" Kagome yelled and she held onto the curtains tightly.

It took Kagome 45 minutes to take a shower because of all the pain and yelling. But thank god that she's done now. She walked out the shower/tub, and wrapped a tower around herself. She gulped. She didn't realize how much it really did hurt. She was breathing slowly, in and out as she walk out the bathroom. When she entered her room, she closed her door shut. She quickly dug inside her drawers for medicine. After she found some, Kagome started spreading it around her scars. The medicine burned as much as her pain. "Dammit it all!" Kagome frustratingly yelled.

15 minutes past and now Kagome was done spreading her medicine and dressing herself. Kagome wore a short-sleeve black T-shirt that had a skeleton and a red long-sleeve shirt under it. She had on baggy red cargo pants with of course, a bunch of chains and pockets on it and black boots that had skeletons on the side with red flames. She wore black eye-liner, red eye shadow, and black lip-stick with her nails painted black too. As Kagome walk to her door, she could feel every inch of her muscles yelling in pain, but that didn't stop her. Kagome slowly opened her door, and then began downstairs. She tried not to wake her mother up, because things would get ugly if she did. So, she slowly walk downstairs and crept towards the back door. Finally, Kagome was out of the house. She sighed in relief. But then she realized that she forgot her car keys. "Shit!" Kagome said to herself. She looked back, but then shook her head. "I don't feel like going back, I'll just have to walk at the mall. Plus, it'll probably help my feet get better use of walking again." and with that, Kagome began walking to the mall; which was 2 miles from her house.

A couple hours later

Finally, Kagome arrived at the mall. The good part, was that her feet sort of healed, the bad part, the mall was packed and crowded. Since Kagome was 'anti-social' she hated crowded placed and places with people just staring at you. Kagome groaned. Maybe, if I just quickly shop and then leave, no one would even know I was ever here. she thought as she quickly looked for a good store. She went inside a store called Hot Topic. It was a store full of punk/gothic things. From pants with chains and belts, to neck collars, chain wallets, chain shirts, hoodies, and all sorts of cool stuff! Kagome found a nice pair of camouflage army pants that had a bunch of straps, chains, belts, and pockets on it. But then her face melted when she saw the price tag. "$210 dollars..." she said to herself. She felt a tap on her shoulder. "Excuse, are you looking for a specific item and need help?" said a voice. "Hn?" Kagome turned around to meet a pair of hazel blue eyes. "Yea, this, but it's $210 so I can't afford it." Kagome said. She looked at the guy. He had dark brown hair that was put in a pony tail, hazel blue eyes, and the most flashing smile you could ever see. (Well, not in Kagome's eyes but he had a good smile) He had on an AC/DC army shirt with the same exact pants that Kagome wanted, but in a guy's size. He wore plain black boots and a chain neck collars with a matching band. Kagome stared enviously at his pants. The guy laughed. "Hi, I'm Kouga Ookami by the way? Yours?" he introduced, waiting for a reply. "I don't give my name out to strangers you know..." Kagome snapped. "Ok, I was just trying to be nice." Kouga said putting his hands up in defense. "Well, being nice doesn't get you these pants." Kagome said as she was still staring at it.

Kouga grinned. "Hey, here's a deal. If you want those pants so badly, then you could buy them." he started. "I can't buy it, that's the freakin' point!" Kagome pointed out, getting irritated. "Let me finish. As I was saying, I can 'secretly' take $60 dollars off IF you tell me your name AND go on a date with me to the movies. How about it?" Kouga finished. Kagome thought about it. She never went on a date before and vowed never to either. But those pants are just so desirable, so this was tough. If he takes $60 off, then the pants would be only $150, but then I'd have to give him my name and worst of all… go on a date with him! Kagome thought. Kouga stared at her, waiting for a reply. He waved his hand in front of her face. "Did you make a decision yet?" he asked. Kagome looked at the pants. She took one deep breath and…

A/n: CLIFF! HAHAHA!

… Nah I'm just playing. It's getting too good to stop right? .

She took a deep breath and looked at Kouga. "My name is Kagome Higurashi, and I'm only going on a pity date! Nothing more of it!" Kagome said. Kouga smirked. "I don't care whatever you call it, but a date is a date. So, this Friday, at 7:45pm, and I'll pick you-" "NO!" Kagome interrupted. "What?" Kouga asked. Kagome gulped. "I mean, uh, don't pick me up! Let's just meet at the park and walk to the movies." Kagome suggested. Kouga shrugged. "I guess we can. It'll be like a romantic moonlight walk." he said flirtatiously. Kagome was about to puke. If it wasn't for the pants, then I'd knock you out! she thought, grimacing.

Indeed, Kouga did keep his word, and that wasn't all. He took some prices off for Kagome for other clothes, so she was able to buy 5 pairs of pants, 8 shirts, 4 chain bracelets, 2 chain neck collars, and a Green Day hoodie. While Kagome was paying, Kouga was blowing kisses at her from the corner. Once they handed her bag, Kagome quickly ran out, yes RAN out of the store; not wanting to see anymore of Kouga. Kagome mentally beat herself up once she was out of the store. It was just one pair of pants and you just had to say yes Kagome! she thought. But then her thought was interrupted as her eyes stopped at an arcade. "Maybe I should check it out?" she said to herself. She nodded and then she entered the arcade.

There were loud music and tons of games. But one game that was the deadliest of all, DDR! Dance Dance Revolution! Most people stink at that game, but others are crazy at it. There were a huge crowd at one particular DDR spot. Kagome went to check it out. On the dance platform stood guy with long, shiny, silver hair. He had the most mysterious and rare amber eyes that Kagome had ever saw. But for one thing, she knew she could beat him at DDR. Even though he was on Heavy, he lacked formation. To Kagome, he was just some amateur, but others didn't clearly think deeply about that, she just watched him. The song ended and everyone clapped and cheered. Kagome smirked. "How do you do it?" one guy ask. "Oh y gosh you have talent!" one girl said, and then the envious questions kept on coming. "Amateur…" Kagome mumbled. "What did you say?" she heard the voice call. "You, the gothic girl with raven hair. What did you say?" the silver haired guy asked. "I said, you're an amateur. The way you do your steps are totally wrong." Kagome said. "Would you like to try then? Let's see how good you are." he called out. Kagome smirked. "My pleasure." she said smoothly as she made her way to the platform.

The crowd stood silence, and once the music played, the game was on.
