Chapter 1- "A Secret"

A loud piercing sound came from a black with neon numbers, alarm clock. A cream color hand with blue messed up nail polish reached out from black covers and sheets to slam the alarm clock quiet. The sheets were pulled back and a girl with black midnight hair and brown eyes sat on her bed, while trying to rub the sleep out of her eyes. She got up from the bed and yawn while she stretch her body out from the weird position it was in a few minutes ago. Her name was Higurashi, Kagome, (16 years old).

Kagome walked out of the steaming shower and wiped the fog from the mirror to see herself. She brushed her hair down and put on her makeup: black eyeliner all around the eyes, clear lip-gloss, and mascara along with blue eye shadow.

"There we go," Kagome went towards her closet and pulled out a black tank top, which she covered with a black and blue outlined hoodie; some jeans and her plain black Vans shoes. Going towards her drawer she put on her silver rings and silver earrings, along with some rubber bracelets and a black studded one, that she put on her right arm while the others were on her left.

Running down the stairs, Kagome went to the kitchen and grabbed the toast that popped out of the toaster, while she read the note that her mother left on the counter:

'Kagome,

I have gone grocery shopping with Grandpa. Please take your brother, Souta, to school for me. I'll be home before you come back from school.

Mama,'

"Ooh, I hope she buys me those chocolate cupcakes," Kagome lifted her book bag with her right hand and swung it over her shoulder. Opening the garage door, she walked towards a black and silver Ninja motorcycle. After she opens the garage door, she sat on it, feeling the smooth texture under her hand.

"Hello, baby. Time to take you out on a ride," revving up the engine while pushing down on the breaks; Kagome called out for her brother to hurry up.

"I'm going!"

Souta ran up to Kagome and jumped on behind his sister; wrapping his arms around her snugly.

"Hey, sis."

"Yea?"

"When you go to pick Sango up, can you say 'hi' to Kohaku for me?"

"Sure thing, bud," with those last words, Kagome let go of the breaks and sped off onto the street. Turning around for a second to close the garage with remote control.

Kagome parked out front of the complex that her best friend in the world, Sango Taijiya (17 years old), lived in. She revved up the engine once again to show that she was there waiting for the girl.

"Hurry up, Sango!"

The door open and in its frame there was a girl with long brown hair that was in a high ponytail, held by a black srunchie. She was wearing a black Viva La Bam hoodie and red plaid Capri's that had a few straps around it and some chains. She wore this along with her black and red Converse.

"Dude, I'm going. Sheesh, take a chill pill," Sango swung her leg over and behind Kagome and did the same procedure that Souta did a couple minutes ago.

"I would if there ever was such a thing."

"Yeah, there is. Up your ass."

"Hardy har har. You're so funny, Sango."

"Hm, what can I say? It's a gift," the both of them started laughing at their jokes of each other.

"Oh yeah. My brother says 'hi' to Kohaku."

"I'll tell him later.'

"'Kay."

Kagome revved the engine more, let go of the brakes, and sped down the street. Except this time she didn't turn back to close the garage.

There was two people standing in the school parking lot, like some other students, trying to get away the mass confusion of everyone trying to find their friends to talk about their weekend and what new trends there was. Except these two were not only talking to each other about the weekend they were also holding hands and were up close to each other.

One of them was a guy with waist length silver white hair that was loose with a black and white bandana over it and was wearing a white muscle shirt along with some blue jeans and black shoes. A beaded black and white bracelet was on his left arm while the other one had a rubber band. His gold amber eyes were glazed over with boredom, as he stared off to space, not listening to his girlfriend, Kikyou Miko (17 years old), who was talking about what she learned from her grandmother who was a priestess.

"Inuyasha!"

"Huh?"

Inuyasha Taisho (17 years old) looked at Kikyou taking in her appearance. She was wearing a white short sleeve shirt that was really tight along the chest area and a navy skirt that almost reached mid-thigh; along with calve high black boots. Her reddish lipstick shined with the light of the sun, and her dark brown eyes looked at him with annoyance from her long lashes and blue eye shadow.

"You haven't been listening me for a while now. What's--" Kikyou was cut off from her sentence, as she looked over to her left. Inuyasha followed her movement and saw Kagome and Sango parking the motorcycle they were riding into the lot.

"Those filthy and disgusting punks. I hope they all rot in hell!"

Inuyasha didn't pay attention to Kikyou's tantrum, as he looked at Miroku Houshi (17 years old) walk up to Sango and grabbed her ass. The events that followed were pretty quick, as Miroku got slapped by his victim and fell on the floor. He silently chuckled at their antics. 'Every day it's the same thing and every day the same thing happens...the never ending cycle of life...'

"...I will never let him touch me that way! Those punks don't even have respect for themselves!"

"I think we should go in," Inuyasha said, grabbing Kikyou's hand and pulling her along with him. "Before the "disgusting punks" come near us, hm?" Inuyasha saw Kikyou's eyes light up with happiness of him trying to protect her from the very people she hated.

"Okay!" She reached up and gave him a kiss on the cheek. Inuyasha nodded his head and continue to walk towards what everyone besides the geeks called "Hell".

Kagome and Sango both got off Kagome's bike and stretched out their legs. Kagome saw from the corner of her eye, Miroku creeping up behind Sango, but thought to ignore him. He was wearing a white shirt with Volcom in black letters in the front and khaki cargo pants along with brown Audio skater shoes. His black hair was pulled back in a small ponytail at the back of his neck, with his bangs coming out in the front. He had two small gold earrings on his right ear and one on his left that he got as a birthday present from his foster dad. His violet eyes were full mirth and mischief.

"Well-HENTAI!"

SLAP!

"Damn, Sango, you didn't have to hit him that hard," Kagome scratched her chin and sighed. She lowered herself to get a better look at Miroku face noticing the big red impression that Sango's hand had left. After a second at looking at her friend's face, she felt something rubbing her butt. A tick formed at the top of her forehead, as she grew angry.

"Okay, maybe you did have to hit him that hard..."

SLAP!

"Humph!" Kagome turned around and walked off behind her friend. Miroku got up slowly, trying not to fall from the dizziness he felt and then calmly walked after Sango and Kagome. As he went up the stairs to the entrance of the school, he went right passed Inuyasha and gave him a questioning look, while the boy shook his head "no" to the unvoiced question.

They did this without anyone noticing.
