Kagome's life is harder than someone would think. Yeah, so what if she has rich parents? Her mother is a movie star, her father is a famous photographer. That doesn't mean it's an easy life. They'll go out to parties and leave her at home. Alone. They have ever since she was old enough to walk. She'd wake up in the middle of the night to hear her parents' drunken laughter, and she'd close her door, and try to go back to sleep. Then, she'd hear something being broken, more laughter. She hated her parents. They gave her $200 every week. She'd try to refuse to take it, but they forced her to have it. "If you don't take it, what will you buy stuff with?" Her father would yell at her. "You're a teenage girl, you like to buy stuff. Now take it, and buy a new pair of shoes, or something." Kagome would sigh and take it, and deposit it into the bank. She didn't know how much was in there, and she didn't want to know. Besides, she had a job. She thought taking the money would make her just like them when she was older, and the slightest idea of being like either one of them made her sick.
She was an only child. She didn't have to worry about the arguments and fights with another sibling, but she wished she did. At least i someone /i in the house would listen to her. There was a housekeeper, but she never really liked Kagome. She thought she was trash. She thought it was because she wore black all the time. So, Kagome was hated in her home, and she hated it there. So what did she do?
School. Work. Friends. She didn't go to a fancy private school like her parents wanted her to. Instead, she went to a public school, just outside of the city they lived in. Her friends and her boyfriend loved her, and they trusted her, but Kagome didn't like that.
They don't even know who her parents are.
center /center
They have never been to her house. They have never been to meet her parents. They all wondered where she lived. She wouldn't tell them. She said something like her parents didn't want people at their house, or something. For a while, they didn't believe her. But when she bribed the housekeeper to call and say there weren't to be any teenagers running around the house (and it cost a LOT of money), they listened. So, they'd call her on her cell phone, and she'd get over to whatever was happening. Her friends were her life, and they were the only thing keeping her life well and good.
She thought nothing bad could happen as long as she had them.
Oh, how wrong she was.
