Prologue

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Mom why are you doing this?"

"Well, honey, its just that, well, I can't handle it anymore. You do
understand right Kagome?"

"No, mom I don't. I mean its not like you have to do much anyway! God mom
your only home half of the time and that's when we are sleeping. You don't
have to go mom I can take care of you!"

"No, no you can't. You never could. If you want to help me then you will
let me leave and you will take good care of yourself. Good bye Kagome."

With that the women left her only daughter. She left her helpless, alone,
and cold. Not so much as a glance back, Mrs. Higurashi entered the black
Lincoln only to return six years later...

"Kagome are you ever going to move?" Sango, Kagome's best friend and
neighbor asked bluntly. Knowing her friend to take an hour or so just to
move her checker piece she urged more firmly.

"I am debating! Do you mind, Sango? Should I move this one?" She points her
pale finger to the red piece lying temptingly close to her opponents. "I
could either jump your black man and get kinged or I could simply move
another piece until you are forced to move this little guy." She states
while indicating to yet another of Sango's men. "If I did wait it would
prove worth while. Of course I never have been one for patience so...King
me!"

Sighing loudly Sango does as is requested and reached for second helpings
on her friends chocolate birthday cake. While lifting the fork she notices
her friend's eyes cloud and water, but by the time the rich food touched
her lips Kagome's eyes were once again clear and dry. After checking one
last time, Sango chewed the rich chocolate mouth full and anticipated the
glass of milk she would later receive from the cafeteria.

"Happy birthday Kagome. I know I have already said that like a thousand
time, but I am just trying to make up for-"

"Don't worry about it. I'm fine. I mean at least I got to talk to my
brother right?" Kagome said in a rush not wanting Sango to finish what she
was saying. She knew that her sixteenth birthday had been forgotten. She
didn't her best friend to remind her every few seconds. The truth was
Kagome preferred it this way. When nobody remembered her it made it easier
to live without all of them. She knew it was wrong to think of it like
that, but she couldn't help it. It was her wall, her protection from being
hurt again.

"If you say so shrimp but if you ask me I think that you shouldn't just
pretend like its nothing. Crap Kag! They all forgot! No visitors, no cards,
I mean they didn't even bloody call you! Doesn't that bother you at all?"

"No I am totally okay with it!" Kagome didn't mean to be so harsh and
sarcastic to Sango. She knew she was only trying to help, but that didn't
take away from the fact that Kagome was upset. "I need to be alone for now
okay Sango? I'm not mad or anything, I just need to be mad right now and I
don't want to be mad with you around."

"Yeah Kags. No problem. I'm sorry for losing it there. You know how I can
get. Just do me a favor, will you? Don't stay mad for too long, okay? Its
not good for you." Sango hugged Kagome and left the room.

As soon as the door shut Kagome stood, walked over to her stereo, and
turned it on. Luckily her favorite cd was in and she began swaying to the
beat of Bad Religion. Tossing her ebony hair back she let loose. Relaxing
to each note from the percussion she slowly let her body unwind. Falling
with a thump on the ground she finally let her tears fall. Painfully she
thought of all the reasons why there was no point in living. Letting her
mind go over all of the memories that haunted her at night. Kagome was a
lost case. She knew it, all four sets of her parents knew it, and worst of
all, they all accepted it.

Today Kagome Higurashi turned sixteen and nothing would change that, but
everything else in her life had changed. Not only was she staying in a
boarding school, but during breaks she was living in a foster home, and if
she wasn't there she was tolerating her self-absorbed birth father. It
wasn't very often that Kagome let herself complain or feel sorry for
herself, but today was her day. It was her birthday and it was supposed to
be the one-day out of the whole year that was just hers. Yet on this
special day she was more forgotten and more alone then usual.
It had been six years since she had spoken to her mother, and even
considering that Kagome's love still hadn't faltered. As long as she knew
that her mom was all right, that her brother was being taken care of, and
that her family was safe she could live. Kagome acknowledged the fact that
she was different. Not only when it came to the way she thought and acted,
but also to her life setting. With eight parents and eleven siblings she
stood out no matter what.

The only pleasure she had when it came to having
a complicated family was when she was able to explain everything and
witness the look of confusion on the person's face. It wasn't everyday that
she tried to tell someone why she didn't live with her or him, or why she
had his last name and not his. It was just something that someone would
have to become accustom to and even after half a decade Kagome still wasn't
completely.

A buzz from the intercom installed into her wall woke her from her deep
thoughts.

'Kagome Higurashi you have a phone call. Kagome you have a phone call!'
Swiftly Kagome jabbed the little black button and waited for the response.

'Kagome?'

"Yeah its me."

'You have a phone call at the front desk. Line two I think.'

"Do you know from who?"

'Hold on let me ask..." The voice of Melissa Crawford left and then returned.

'It's a man named Paul.' Listening slightly Mel gasps at the sound of
someone hitting the ground. ' Kagome?! Kagome are you okay?!"
