Chapter One

Ten Years earlier

Kagome couldn’t tell if this was something she needed to do or wanted to do when she arrived at the Tashio basement where her mother stayed sometimes when the family needed her over the weekends. As she looked at the pale green journal she just purchased at the local drugstore.

But per usual the elder Sesshomaru Tashio, pissed her off and because her mother work for them most nights, what she wanted to say would not bode well for her mother and the rest of the Tashio Family. Well…InuYasha would love the digs she could bring up against his brother but to be the bigger person she would just tell her story another way.

“Hmmm…Let’s see, where do I start, I could talk about how me, I mean isn’t that how journals work. To talk about yourself and the things that are happening in your life.” She mumbled to herself. It would get her mind off of the comment made about her worn but comfortable shoes.  ‘Damn that Sesshomaru for speaking the truth, but the shoes are so comfy.’

‘Ok enough about him what do I write about.’ Taking a seat on the red velvet couch she pondered.  “I know, I’ll talk about my life now as a High School senior and the rough road getting here” Kagome almost shed a tear about everything that has happen to her and the friends she could have had and even lost.

“Yeah, this journal should be about the now, but to really explain it I have to go back to the past, alright here goes nothing…”

8th grade

Kagome was one of the belles of the ball or in this case the middle school social with her baby blue puff dress with her usually straight black hair pulled up in a bun. She was with her long time best friend Bulma who was in a pink dress and one of her cousins Chi-Chi who was in purple dress as they talked to all of their peers that mattered, and some that didn’t as the first semester was almost finished. Being part of the ‘it’ girls always had its work cut out for them but they were able to balance it by being fair to everyone…well as much as it would allow them to be.

Right now though Kagome was attempting to assist the lovely Bulma Briefs with Vegeta Ouji, the very arrogant asshole who happen to ‘allow’ Bulma to work with him on a science project that was due next week. It was very obvious that they like each other, as much as they were cute. Kagome and Chi-Chi wanted to seize the moment and ‘help’ them on their way.

Kagome decided at that moment to stop whatever she was doing to walk to the other side of the room to the ‘boys’ section to seek Vegeta out because after all he was going to be with the most popular girl in school Bulma Briefs. No one was like her best friend in the looks department with the beautiful aquamarine hair and dark blue eyes who wouldn’t go for her. Since she was afraid to go up to said boy she would do the work for because hey that’s friends are for.

As Kagome made way to Vegeta and his entourage which consisted of Sesshomaru, and her other cousin Miroku she was stopped by Hojo who was smart, healthy, very annoying and tapping on the back of her shoulder stopping her progress she looked over her shoulder at him.

“Hey Kagome, I just wanted to tell you that you look great this evening, it looks like you’ve been keeping up with your exercises you told me about last time we spoke to each other, You know I have some other---“He stopped when Kagome put her hand up. Usually she feigned ignorance and went along with Hojo just to get him out of her face but this time she had no remorse for her next words.

“Well Hojo tonight I just don’t care about any damn exercises you have and since you are not the person I want to speak to please get out of my face before I do something I regret” She said not even turning to him and continued to Vegeta. Hojo stood there looking at the girl he liked shocked that she effectively shut him down, still starry eyed he still loved her.

“Hey, Ouji what are you looking to do with my best friend because it is obvious she likes you and you like her and we aren’t in elementary school any more so…” she boldly trailed off looking the man that thought the sun revolved around just him. It always surprised her though that he even like Miroku enough to call friend since Miroku was a good yet perverted apprentice monk.

The same as her eventually seeing if she wanted to become a priestess at her mother’s shrine when she got older. Now the other boy standing next to him Sesshomaru Tashio, she could understand they were very similar therefore it worked, both were rich, arrogant, always scowling males who you could never read. Many people stated that Sesshomaru liked Kagome but didn’t know if he would ever act upon asking her. Plus, she was with InuYasha, who she cared about.             

“Hello cousins and how are you this fine evening” Miroku said as if Kagome hadn’t said anything. By now Bulma was now behind her pulling at her arm and Chi-Chi on Kagome other side with her hands on her hips.

“Great Miroku, just getting Vegeta to admit that he likes and wants to go out with Bulma, now move and let the teen talk alright.” Kagome said with equally mocking response.

Miroku put his hands up in surrender and turned to Vegeta who had a deeper scowl on his face at the woman who dared interrupt him from his thoughts and Miroku’s usual banter. But before he spoke he looked at his friend Sesshomaru with a slight smirk on his face, watching what would happen next.

“What the heck, girl did you put your little friend up to this” He stated looking over at Bulma, who blushed at the comment.  The music was the only thing playing as everyone stopped to look at the other teens in the corner of the room.

“No I can speak for myself and everyone here when I say that you like Bulma but are too scared to ask each other out” She said with her arms crossed and a smirk on her face. Bulma behind her now crossed her arms just observing the situation before she spoke.

“She is right you know, I think you like me, I mean out of all of the people here you are glancing over at me only, like no other girl exists.” Bulma said interjecting her arms now crossed, giving Vegeta a once over.

“Well sure if you believe toads are beautiful then by all means girl you are the one I want to be with” He stated as some of the people around them laughed. Miroku attempted to smuggle a laugh and Sesshomaru just shrugged.

“Kags…I told you this was a bad idea you shouldn’t have come over her with Chi-Chi, you can never make a ‘old dog learn new tricks’ as my father always says” she stated as she started to walk away. Kagome was peeved at the response, like Bulma said he was looking at her then his friends all night.

“Is your father stupid or something I am no dog and there are no new tricks to learn as you are just a lab partner to finish this stupid class and move on to high school” he stated

“No my dad isn’t, but you know what he is Vegeta the smartest and best guys this world needs and I am right him with new inventions and ideas. But I think you already know this since our company beats yours hands down every year” Turning to Kagome she said, “Let’s go we don’t need this, Sesshomaru and Miroku” She waived and walked away, Kagome and Chi-Chi close on her heels.

“I’m sorry” Kagome said as they went to a couple of chairs to sit.

“I’m sorry also even though I didn’t say much” Chi-Chi said smiling “But if it helps there are plenty of guys that like you and besides you don’t need that arrogant prick Vegeta anyway. And between me and you guys I can figure out a way to punch him in the face in math tomorrow.” She said with an evil grin on her face.

Kagome truly believed Chi-Chi could follow up with that promise since out of all of her family members she was the strongest, as her father was the biggest. The un-opposed Ox-King was the best older wrestler around no one messed with him or his daughter who was trained in mixed martial arts. And it was no secret that there no love lost between she and Vegeta since they were in the same classes, with Chi-Chi the current victor. 

With that being said, “No punching in the face this time, as I’m sure you can find time for this during your sparring.” Kagome said chuckling.

“Ok but now I am bored, is there any party that we can go to tonight, that our parents will allow us to go to of course” She added just in case there was any confusion with Bulma who for some reason wanted to make sure her parents knew where she was at all times…ok most times.  And with the look on her face this was going to be one of those ‘most’ times.

“You know that weird kid Naraku…” Bulma said as she looked around the room at the boys and the girls who had not yet danced with each other.

Kagome shuttered, “Yeah, don’t remind me” As she thought about the last time they had a project in the 7th grade, she went over his house where she saw his room of spiders, his ‘pets’ all named, it was very creepy so much so she demanded to have a new lab partner which happened to be her InuYasha.

“Well he is having a party after this, where we can have fun until 11 PM, that’s when I’ll tell our parents to pick us up. There supposed to be booze there and maybe I can loosen Vegeta up a little and get him to kiss me.

“As long as it’s not Naraku showing me his ‘pets’ again then I am fine with it” She said as she grimaced again

“Alright then it’s a date let finish here tell everyone we’re going to the party and let’s get out of here” Chi-Chi said smiling…

Kagome stopped for a moment, to further reflect on what happened next. A lot happened that night but the biggest downfall of her life wasn’t the popularity that was minor compared to losing your best friend and cousin to a bitch who truly to this day didn’t deserve her title.

It was like a ripple effect, the kiss between she and Vegeta where he truly thought she was Bulma, her cousin siding with Bulma against her even though the biggest asshole Vegeta Ouji around defended Kagome. And again the one person who became the most popular girl overnight based on a technically.  Yeah, she could say that it was all Tsubaki’s fault but in the end it wasn’t all her. It was her Kagome Higurashi, Bulma Briefs, and Chi-Chi King fault for letting all of this spiral out of control.

‘But I guess they can’t really say much now either, can they, or even stop anything.’ She thought because what happened to her was nothing compared to what happened to the other two girls in high school. So much so that all three girls wanted nothing to do with each other and just faded to the back ground.

The guys were almost in the same boat with everyone who was in the past popular to some extent now social outcasts, only tolerated when there was a football and basketball game to consider. It was all funny to Kagome because there were others that became that way when they first arrive to high school as the ‘newbies’, they too were outcasts just gritting their teeth until they never had to see each other again.

Kagome put her journal down for a moment, then looked at the time to see an hour pass by. She didn’t know if she wrote a lot in that time frame but it was a start, plus it was relaxing.

She would get another jump her journal tomorrow, it was late and she had to help her mother with whatever she could. She may even be able to try writing later on that night, it is a start to put all of her feelings down on paper. She placed it on the small desk and left the room to see if her mother need help.
