Chapter 1-The Story

Knock! Knock!

"Wake up! We're going to be late for school! Kagome!"

Bang! Bang!

Sango Taijya, Kagome Higurashi's best friend was pounding on the door so hard, she was practically going to break the door.

"Aww, 5 more minutes," Kagome groaned turning onto her side and pulling the blankets over her head.

Ruff!

Ruff!

Kiki, Kagome's pet Terrier licked her face.

"Morning Kiki, what time is it?"

"Kagome! If you don't come out RIGHT NOW! I'm leaving!" Sango yelled.

"Oh, no! I'm going to be late!" Kagome jumped out of bed, got dressed, brushed her teeth, and headed out the door with a piece of toast in her mouth, her backpack in one hand and a ribbon in the other.

All at the same time, Kagome was running down the stairs, trying to ear her toast, tying her hair, and putting her backpack on.

Finally she caught up with Sango.

"Finally!" Sango threw up her arms.

"Sorry," Kagome said trying to digest her toast, "I'm still not used to not have someone wake me up." Kagome was now trying to catch her breath.

"It's been a week!" Sango yelled.

Ding! Dong! Dong! Ding!

The school bell rang.

The two girls ran to their first class.

"Ms. Taijya and Ms. Higurashi, outside please." The teacher instructed.

"Darn we're late." Sango said.

They stood outside the classroom for the remainder of the class.

"Arggh! This is NOT going to look good on my attendance record!" Sango complained.

"Gomen nasai." Kagome apologized.

"You should really get an alarm clock." Sango suggested.

"I know. I know." Kagome said quietly.

"Kagome," Sango said in a softer tone, "I'm sorry for criticizing you. But you know, it is going to take some time to adjust to having to live alone. But always remember, I'm right across the hall. Come by anytime. Understand?" Sango placed her hand on Kagome's shoulder.

"That's the thing Sango; you don't get how it is…" Kagome slid against the wall and sat on the floor. She sighed.

"You know what you need?" Sango said trying to cheer up Kagome.

"What?" Kagome asked.

"A boy." Sango smiled.

"No thanks. I don't trust anyone but you Sango, remember that." Kagome brought up her knees towards her and set her head on top of them.

"C'mon Kagome! Father said there is going to a new tenant that is going to move into the empty apartment next to yours. Maybe it'll be a boy." Sango grinned even bigger.

"How do you know? What's the possibility of another boy my age that is going to live alone? Huh?" Kagome said.

"Whatever."

Sango and Kagome have been living across from each other in the same apartment building since they were little.

Sango lives with her father and mother. Sango's father is the manager of the apartment building.

Kagome's parents used to live with Kagome when she was little but they soon got divorced when she was 5 years old.

They said that one of them was going to come back for them but so far, they hired a nanny to take care of Kagome until she was 16 years old. Then the nanny would have to leave.

Kagome had been waiting ever since her birthday for her mother or father to come back. She hasn't given up on them but she still cant trust anyone.

Kagome's parents send her a check every month to pay for the rent, food, gas bills, etc.

But that's as close of communication she has with them.

Ding! Dong! Dong! Ding!

"Class is over Kagome." Sango sighed. "Let's go."

"I'm going home." Kagome whispered. "I don't feel so well."

With that said Kagome grabbed her stuff and ran.

Sango had not seen the tears forming in Kagome's eyes.
