Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha what so ever, yada yada you already know :) Okay so I'm not sure if I'm too satisfied with this chapter, but I really need to just get the first few chapters out of the way, introducing everyone and what not. Please please review and let me know what you think! :3

Chapter two
Spill the beans

The old woman who was leading today's session sat down on a chair between both leather couches, she was holding a clipboard with various sheets attached and a pen in hand.

“Alright, now that everyone is seated I would like to introduce you to two new people joining us today.”

'Shit, here we go...' Kagome thought fiddling with the buttons on her flannel shirt.

“To those who are new, I am Kaede, welcome Kanna.” Kaede looked to a young girl, a freshman Kagome presumed. She was a demon, her hair was white and her skin was deathly pale. Her eyes were so void and hollow looking. Her outfit was strange too, with a white sundress on which looked oddly childish on her petite frame.

“And Kagome.” Kaede smiled at Kagome.

Kagome just smiled back nervously.

“Now for starters, lets say our names and why we are here; this will give us the chance to admit out loud our problems so that we can overcome and find solutions to them.”

Kaede turned to a boy sitting on a chair next to her.

“Would you like to go first?” Kaede smiled.

The boy shrugged. “As If I have a choice? My names Hiten, I'm here for drug possession and assault charges. I'm on probation so i have to come here, but basicly I like to get fucked up and I'm not one to be fucked with that's why I'm here.” Hiten smirked. Kagome eyed him he was fairly tall, he had on baggy skinny jeans, a loose white v neck and a single gold necklace with a small lighting bolt at he end. He had heavy bangs and a long braid that laid over the chair he sat in. He was a demon she could tell, when he talked he had fangs. He had a cocky attitude about him.

Kagome wanted to laugh at how straight forward he had been. He had turned a more professional meaning and turned it more teenage understandable.

To Kagomes surprise Kaede just nodded. She didn't seem fazed at all by his vocabulary.

The boy that went next she could tell was human, even though he had bright aqua eyes. His hair looked almost identical to Hitens. He was dressed more thuggish then Hiten though, he had on baggy jeans and an oversized shirt with a big logo on it. He sat back boredly on the couch his eyes seeming to be lingering everywhere but on anyone's face. “I'm Bankotsu, I'm here for assault charges, and possession of weapons. Kagome got nervous with the way he said weapons, almost like a warning.

Kagome noticed it was time for the girl Kanna to speak. Kagome half expected for her to not say a word and for Kaede to just skip over her.

“I am Kanna, I'm here on assault chargers, on my family.” She said It so simple. With no emotion what so ever, her voice sent chills down Kagomes spine and she turned to look at Sango to see if it was just her or if the girl gave off an eery feeling. Sango had on a bewildered face and turned when she saw Kagome, giving her a slight shrug.

Next was a boy who looked very shy, and nervous. Most likely giving off what Kagome was trying to hide how she felt but he let it show. He looked up and his emerald green eyes showed innocence, he had thick orange hair that was pulled back in a bundle of waves. He had on a green flannel shirt that brought out his eyes even more, with dark denim jeans. He spoke quietly, “I'm Shippo, I'm here because I saw my father get murdered and ever since then I've had horrible paranoia, anxiety, and have suffered from insomnia because of it which has began to effect my school work and just my moods in general...” Shippo wouldn't dare look anyone in the eye.

Kagome instantly felt for the boy, she wanted to cry. Or hug him and help him, he seemed so innocent.

Kagome then forgot while feeling sympathetic for the poor boy that it was her turn. She muttered curse words in her head.

“Kagome?” Kaede asked with a reassuring smile. Kagome just looked up and decided to spill the beans, otherwise she had no idea how much longer she would last in this room.

“I'm Kagome, I'm here because I saw my father get shot and taken away in front of me by a cop because he tried to kill me and my mother, and ever since then...”

Sango gave Kagomes shoulder a slight squeeze and Kagome just smiled.

“Ever since then, I've had nightmares I've become paranoid, anxious most the time and dealing with it sometimes I've used...self injury.”

Kagome wouldn't dare meet anyone's eyes.

Sango seemed to straighten up as she spoke. “My names Sango, I'm here because I saw my parents get murdered and I've dealt with this by using drugs and got caught. I'm having to take care of my little brother and myself mostly on my own so I came here because I don't want him to get taken away from me and I need to start setting a better example for him.” Sango seemed proud, and Kagome then felt selfish. She hadn't thought much about how her actions could effect her younger brother Sota, she commended Sango on coming here on her own terms instead of being forced like the rest of the kids in the class.

Next was Miroku, he seemed laid back enough. “I'm Miroku, I'm here because ever since my parents died I've been dealing with a lot and not getting along with my uncle who I live with, I've got caught with possession of drugs.”

“I'm Inuyasha, I ain't about to tell you my whole life story or why I do the things I do but lets just say I'm forced to come here, because of possession of drugs, alcohol, assault, you name it I've probably been charged with it.” Kagome peered up at Inuyasha, he of all looked the most bored and unfazed. She wondered how long he had been here, and how much he was ever going to spit out of why he did all those things. She started to wonder if she had begun to be too attracted to clearly not the right guy, but it worried her at how much it made her more attracted to him and how now she was curious enough to want to find out about this mysterious “Inuyasha”

A girls voice spoke next. Kagome wanted to put on a look of disgust after eying the girl. She was tall, with red piercing eyes and red lips, with her hair in a high ponytail of waves with two feathers stuck in place. She was wearing a top similar to a corset, which looked more like lingerie. Tight skinny jeans and red high heels.

'She's the most 'at risk' of us all, at risk of becoming a prostitute.'

Kagome only half paid attention to what she said, something about assault. From all she really knew though was that she liked to dress explicitly and her name was Kagura.

The boy sitting next to her, was rather cute. He had his hair pulled back in a tight ponytail, piercing blue eyes. He was tan, he had on skinny jeans and a shirt that said 'get your girl off my deck' with a picture of a skateboard at the bottom. Kagome had to hold back a giggle at that.

“I'm Koga, I'm here on possession of drugs and assault charges, most of my family was murdered so I usually take out my thoughts of that in anger or pop pills.” He said it so smoothly like it meant nothing.

“Very good everyone.” Kaede said. “

“Now here are some index cards. I would like for everyone to take one, and a pen I want you to write down a goal you want to accomplish when sessions are all over.”

Kagome grabbed one of the index cards and ball point pen that was being passed down to her.

“Have any ideas?” Sango asked.

“Yeah, I was thinking maybe just a simple goal, to be able to face my fears, and come up with better ways to deal with them until I can fully overcome them.” Kagome said tapping her pen on her knee thinking about how that sounded.

Sango giggled. “Don't try and think too hard about it, you're not going to get graded for it or anything, but what you said I think sounds perfect.”

Kagome smiled at Sango. “Thanks, do you know what you're going to write?”

“Mhm, I've known my goal since before I came here, to not get in anymore trouble and be a better role model for my brother.”

“You know Sango, that's really great that you take responsibility like that it made me think that I really need to be doing a better job of setting a good example for my younger brother too.”

Sango wrote down her goal and looked up at Kagome with a smile. Kagome finished writing hers aswell.

“Hey pervert, don't forget to write on that goal card to stop touching girls asses!” Sango glared at Miroku.

Miroku smirked. “Why dearest Sango, are you saying you don't like my hands on you?” He winked.

Sango rolled her eyes. “You know maybe you should have added sexual assault to another one of your charges.” Kagome laughed.
Inuyasha laughed too and gave Sango a high five. Kagome looked up and blushed and quickly looked down when she met his eyes.

'God, his eyes are so golden they're beautiful.' Kagome thought trying to look at everything around the room to the right away from Inuyasha who was sitting to her far left.

“Kagome, are you blushing?” Sango laughed, noticing that she had eyed the hanyou a lot during the session.

“Ugh no!” Kagome said a little too loudly her face becoming more red.

Kaede asked for everyone to pass down the index cards and left the room saying she would be right back.

**

Inuyasha couldn't help but smirk at how innocent the girl was being, he barely met her eyes and she started blushing madly.

'She is pretty adorable.' 'Wait what? Why am I even thinking that?! Shes just another girl with issues in this damned place, feh.' Inuyasha leaned back in the leather couch and closed his eyes letting out a sigh.

Inuyasha felt a nudge and opened one eye to see that Miroku had elbowed him.

“What?”

“I think Kagomes got the hots for you.” Miroku laughed, whispering like a girl.

Inuyasha just rolled his eyes. “And?”

“Shes a looker, you should ask her out. Although considering how nervous she looks now she might faint when you do, so don't forget to catch her.” Miroku snickered.

“Feh, get off my case I don't care if she likes me.”

“Something tells me that's a lie, you usually try to act like you don't care the most when you do.”

“Oh whatever you pervert, go hit on Sango and stop harassing me. Ever thought I just actually don't give a fuck?”

Miroku held up his hands in defense. “It was just a thought.” Then he let out a chuckle turning around and doing just what Inuyasha said, and putting more charm on his 'dearest' Sango.

'Feh, stupid lech, why should I care if the girl likes me? Plenty of girls fawn over me.' Inuyasha looked over Miroku a bit and smirked when she kept her eyes on her lap fiddling with the manilla folder she was holding.

Kagome finally looked up when Kaede walked in. She gave her a curious glance when she walked in caring balloons.

“Balloons?” Kagome asked Sango, but she just shrugged.

“I would like everyone to grab a balloon.”

Everyone got up and began picking balloons, most trading with others wanting there favorite color or such, as if it really mattered.

“Gimme the red Miroku!” Inuyasha said as he waited behind the other teens.

Miroku moved through a couple people caring a purple one and a red one.

“Here lazy.” Miroku handed it to him.

Sango grabbed a red one as well and saw Kagome eying the blue one and grabbed it for her.

“Thanks, blues my favorite color.”

“Now take a sharpie.” Kaede said handing everyone a black sharpie.

“I want everyone to write down one or more secrets on these balloons, something you keep inside that maybe few or nobody knows about you and write it on this balloon.”

Kagome didn't see much point but she had to admit she expected these sessions to be a lot worse.

Kagome pondered for a moment and then wrote. “I wish I wasn't the way I was, that maybe just for a moment my life could be a bit more normal and that I didn't constantly blame myself for what happened because it just makes me want to hurt myself.” Kagome boldly wrote the words down, she knew she wouldn't be able to say it out loud so she really hoped she wouldn't have to show anyone.

She saw some people writing, others thinking. Some she could tell probably just wrote down something insignificant.


“Now that everyone is done, follow me outside.” Kaede said.

Everyone followed her to a door that led outside.

“Now in a minute, ill tell everyone to let go of their balloons, you see by writing these secrets down you were able to admit them while letting them go free I want you to think of it as letting that secret go, no longer having to hold it in.”

“Alright now let them go.”

Kagome slowly let hers go and looked up at all the balloons floating away.

“Its actually pretty beautiful.” Sango said.
“Ever wonder where balloons go when there just set off into the sky like that?” Kagome said still looking up.

“Always.” Sango laughed as she started walking back inside with everyone else.

“Session is now over, you all did great.” Kaede said with her bright smile.

Kagome walked outside in the front with Sango, sitting on a bench on the side.

“So ladies, I was wondering if this Saturday you would like to come to my bands performance.” Miroku said sitting next to Sango.

“Well I've always heard you guys practice but that's great you got someone to let you perform, where is it?” Sango asked.

“Club Riot.” Inuyasha said walking up to them.

“A club?” Kagome asked looking over to Sango.

“Oh Inuyashas brother owns Club Riot, they'll let us in.”

Kagome just nodded. 'So hes in a band?' Kagome thought pondering what instrument he played or if he sang.

“Hey Kagome, I'm gonna get going do you have a cell phone?” Sango asked pulling out hers.

“Yeah, I do here.” Kagome said typing in her number into Sangos cell phone.

“It's a good thing my aunt helps out with bills and stuff and bought me this cell phone” Sango laughed.

“So you really, live on your own?” Kagome asked curiously but not wanting to pry.

“Well yeah, but my aunt who lives in the U.S helps out with money whenever she can and helped get me an apartment, I have a job and pay most of it myself and its just me and my brother living there though.” Sango said saving Kagomes number to her contacts.

“Thats good.” Kagome smiled.

Sango then waved to her and the boys and got in her car, starting the engine and driving off.

“There's my ride.” Kagome mumbled.

“You gonna try and come to our performance?” Miroku asked.

Kagome stopped for a second and realized she may have just made some friends.

“Yeah, defiantly.” Kagome smiled waving at the two. Miroku waved back but Inuyasha just nodded his head.

Getting in the car Kagome had a small smile on her face. For once she felt a lot more at place with people who had similar issues. Not surrounded by all the little perfects back at her old private school.

“How did you like it?” Kagomes mom warily asked.

“Kagome placed the manilla folders in her backpack in the backseat. “You need to sign those, and oh well it actually wasn't all too bad.”

“Good.” Kagome could tell what was in her mothers smile then, it was hope.
