Title: For richer or Poorer

Chapter 1: Low life

The morning light crept in through the thin roof of the slum and blinded the 15 year old girl. Her black hair whipped around her face as she shook the sleepiness from her face. She trudged into the room over and shook her best friend awake. The black haired girl rubbed her eyes and groaned. She crawled off of her straw mattress, and slipped on her blue jeans that were about to fall apart. She sighed.

"Oh my jeans… Kagome, do you have a pair I could borrow?" the girl asked. She held up her ripped and torn, now black more than blue- jeans.

Kagome shook her head sadly. "I am sorry Sango, I have none left that are suitable for wearing" She left the room and sat down on her own straw mattress. A drop of water landed on her head as soon as she sat down, and looked up. Another one came crashing down on her nose. "Sango?" she called.

Sango came into her room. "Yes?"

"It is starting to rain, we are going to have to put buckets out again, lets go look around for plastic bottles, they work well too" she ordered, wiping the water off of the crook of her nose. Sango moaned.

"Not again…"

"Yes, again sadly, we have to start school in about 15 minutes, we should hurry up and do this so when we come home we don't have to swim to our beds" Kagome said jokingly. Sango drooped her head down, she looked sad. Kagome ran over and gave her best friend a hug. "Don't worry Sango, we'll find a way out of this dump someday" she assured her. Sango shook her head and straightened up.

"Yeah, your right. We should get going" she pointed out, as they lost more time just standing there. Kagome nodded and pulled on her only pair of sneakers. They both had a hole in the front, as did Sango's. Kagome held open the wooden flap that was supposed to be the door and followed her out. This small slum was their home. The only one they have had ever since they were abandoned when they were young. They were both only 6 years old.

Flashback**

A young 6 year old Kagome sat huddled in an alley crying. "Mommy… why did you leave…" she sobbed into her small shirt. It was raining hard and lighting lit the alley up every now and then.

"Excuse me, do you know where my mommy is?" a little girl asked, poking Kagome on the shoulder. Kagome lifted her head and stopped crying.

"Do you know where MY mommy is?" she asked back. The little girl shook her head no and sat down next to her.

"My name is Sango, what is your name?" she asked. Kagome was crying again.

"Kagome" she sobbed. "Did your mommy leave you too?" Sango nodded and spoke up.

"I miss her so much" she responded. "There are so many strangers out there… I want her to be here right now" Kagome nodded in agreement.

"Will you stay with me? I don't want to be by myself, I am scared" Kagome said, another tear falling down her face and mixing in with the rain. Sango gave her a hug.

"Uh-huh" she said. "I am scared to be alone too" Sango looked at Kagome and spotted a glowing pink jewel around her neck and pointed to it. "I like your prettyful necklace" Kagome smiled.

"Thank you, my Jii-san gave it to me before my mommy left me" she explained holding the jewel in her hand. "He said it is called the Shikon no Tama"

Sango stared at it in awe. "I wish I had a necklace like that" she looked at the ground sadly. Kagome felt sorry and stared at her wrist. It was a bracelet her mom gave her when she was 5. It had a black band and shells moved around loosely on the band. She unclipped it and held it out.

"Here, have this, best friend"

End of Flashback**

Kagome and Sango joined the rest of the class, and took their seats. They were wooden and very uncomfortable. The whole slum neighborhood went to this school, and no one had nice clothes or anything. They were all thankful for what they had and didn't care how they looked. Sango and Kagome liked this because they didn't have to worry about what other people though of them. The teacher strolled into the small cramped shed-like room and took a seat.

"Good morning, class" she said.

"Good morning, Miss Kaede" they all replied in unison.

She smiled. "Today we will be learning harder equations than last time. If you would, please take out your math books" she told the class. Everyone quickly pulled out their books and listened carefully for further instructions. When Kagome took hers out, the cover fell off and hit the floor with a "thud". The pages were ripped, and poorly taped back together. The binding was terrible and the whole thing looked like it would fall apart at any given moment. Kagome raised her hand.

"Yes, Miss Kagome?" Miss Kaede answered.

"May I please have a new book?" she asked holding hers up. Suddenly the binding fell loose and went crashing to the floor. Kagome winced and arched an eyebrow at her book.

"I am very sorry Kagome, but these are the only books we have, and you must keep yours. If I gave you a newer book, then I would have to give everyone else a newer book" she explained. Kagome frowned and sat down. She bent down and scooped up the trashed book and tried piecing it all together as best she could. Sango glanced at her from across the room and held up her book that had too fallen apart like hers. They laughed silently and turned around.

"Now class, turn to page 56" Miss Kaede ordered. Kagome chuckled.

"Easier said than done…'

--------------------------------------

Sango fell back onto her bed/mattress and yawned. Kagome strolled in and did the same as her.

"What a day" Kagome said tiredly. She could hear the pit pat of water falling into the buckets and soda bottles all around her. She thought she would go insane if she stayed there any longer. She got up and entered Sango's room.

"I am going to take a walk, okay?" she told her best friend. Sango opened an eye and quirked a brow.

"Aren't you going to go to the soup kitchen for dinner?" she questioned her curiously. Kagome nodded.

"I will meet you there when I am done, I just think I need some fresh air" Kagome walked out into the freezing rain. It was just a small drizzle, but she could still feel her clothes getting wet quickly. 'Oh well…' she thought, going off toward the city. She walked for about 10 minutes around the city, and found the park. She sat down inside one of the jungle gyms to escape the rain, and inhaled the air deeply. She looked around at everyone passing by, they all had nice and expensive clothing, and shoes. They walked with their nose high in the air, proudly.

'If only I could wear clothes like that…' she said to herself mentally. 'I wonder what it would be like to live in one of those big expensive boarding schools with tons of other rich students, and go to school with them. Just think, new textbooks, clothes… a new home' Kagome was snapped out of her thoughts by the sound of a dump truck rolling by.

"Oh what's the use, I'll never go there, and so what's the point of even dreaming…"she said to no one in particular. "Better go to the soup kitchen before Sango gets mad" Just as she got up, the jewel around her neck started glowing for a second but dimmed back to normal. Kagome didn't notice at all. She hopped out of the jungle gym and walked down the sidewalk to the soup kitchen. It was already dark by then and the streets were becoming deserted. Another dump truck came roaring down the street past her. A bag of trash went flying out the back, along with other numerous junk items. Kagome moved off to the left more to avoid the trash, but got slapped in the face by a piece of paper. She peeled it off her face and read it closely. It was a lottery ticket, and the date for the drawing wasn't until that night.

"Cool, a lottery ticket" she said to herself. "I've always wanted one of these, maybe I should try it" she tucked the lottery ticket into her pocket and skipped the rest of the way to the soup kitchen. She greeted a little boy that held the door open for her, and spotted Sango sitting alone. She jumped into line and grabbed a bowl of soup. She thanked the cooks and took a seat across from Sango.

"Sorry I am late, the nerve of this guy that was driving a dump truck. He should be fired" she said harshly. "The guy practically hit me and he dumped trash all over the street" Sango gasped.

"Are you sure you are okay?" she asked worriedly. She dropped her spoon into her soup by accident, and was trying to fish it out with her finger. Kagome just nodded and reached into her pocket.

"Like I said, he practically hit me, but he DIDN'T so don't worry, anyways, I found this lottery ticket. I am thinking of checking the numbers tonight" she said. "Cross your fingers" Sango crossed her toes and shrugged. Kagome looked at her weirdly. "What are you doing?"

"Well I need my fingers right now, I'm hungry" she laughed, pulling her spoon out of the bowl. "Mmm... chicken noodle" she said in between bites. "Hey, how do you find out what the numbers are?" she asked, slurping down a spoonful of soup.

"Umm I think they draw them at 7 o clock on TV" Kagome replied. She glanced at her watch and smiled. "It is almost 7 o clock, I think I will stick around and watch it from the TV in here" she explained, pointing out the TV in the corner of the kitchen.

Sango nodded. "Alright, I guess I will stay too then. I don't want to walk home alone when it's dark, it is too dangerous" Kagome stared at her and heard the TV in the corner of the room burst to life, as the Tokyo lottery came on screen.

"Come on Sango, they're starting" she said, pulling Sango out of her chair toward the TV. People were beginning to crowd around and watch the numbers being drawn. Kagome hit Sango on the shoulder, and she quickly crossed her fingers. Kagome did the same, and took out the lottery ticket. She held it tightly and stared at the screen hopefully. The usual gorgeous woman that picked the numbers every time, turned the crank as 5 balls shot up through the tube and rolled down the platform for announcing.

"Here is coming!" Sango said enthusiastically. She had her fingers, toes, arms, legs, and even eyes crossed for luck. The woman strolled over toward the balls and turned them around and called them out one by one.

"And our first number… 27" she announced. There were tons of screaming and yelling going on just then. Kagome wasn't as spastic as everyone else, but Sango could tell that 27 was there.

"Next number is… 59" The gorgeous woman said. Kagome jumped with joy.

"We have that one too, Sango!" she screamed, as everyone quieted down to hear the next number.

"Next is… 12" Kagome looked near tears, or a heart attack.

"OMG!! THAT'S 3!!" she yelled, everyone started crowding around her to watch, fore they had already lost.

"Second to last… 41" The room filled with screaming and applause.

"Kagome, what's left?!" Sango asked her best friend nervously. Kagome pointed to the card. She was practically about to bawl she was so happy.

Kagome's hands shook violently. "Umm…" she took a look at the card. "We only need 17" she announced. Sango got to quick thinking, and ordered everyone to cross their toes, fingers, arms, legs, and even eyes. Everyone obeyed her, and waited patiently for the last number to be called.

"And last number to be called tonight, folks, is…" it was like time itself had stopped, and decided to stop there and never continue. Kagome's hand was nearly crushing the lottery ticket, and Sango was in mere suspense. Everyone and everything was frozen in place, no one was even breathing. It was quiet as a mouse. And then it hit them.

"17!"

Everyone froze hesitantly and reacted. Kagome was thrown up into the air, as well as Sango and passed around under all of the excitement. People were cheering and clapping, congratulating them on their victory. Some even tried to steal the ticket, but Kagome punched the thieves in the face. No one seemed to care about that; only that she and Sango were instantly multi millionaires.

"Kagome!" Sango roared over the noise. "What do we do now?" Everyone started to hush up seeing that the two winners were trying to talk to each other. The crowd put Sango and Kagome back on their feet. And the two best friends hugged. Kagome lifted her head and whispered in her ear so no one else could hear.

"We go shopping"

The two little school girls ran out of the soup kitchen screaming, just running, and not even looking back.
