Summary:

Kagome's life has always been the same routine. She's always been the `good' girl. Following all the rules, staying out of trouble and getting nothing less than the best grades. She has her entire life planned out. Though her world is thrown out the window when two new brothers come to town. A harsh remark from the eldest sends Kagome's secure self esteem spiraling. She can't get what he said out of her mind. She sets out to prove him wrong. Getting Sango and Miroku to help her she gives herself a new project: To prove the arrogant Sesshomaru Inuyoukai that he was wrong about her. She intends to go from good girl Kagome to bad Kagome.

A/N: I just made that last name up on a whim so don't tell me it sucks since they don't have a real one (that I know of)

I Wanna Be Bad

NightBlackWolf

"I can't stand people like you. They think they can do anything or that everyone likes them. Always so happy on the outside, putting others before yourself. It's bull shit. There has never been one person truly sincere about this. People like you are only in it for themselves. They act like they care and that they want to help you or care about you but they always want something. You know nothing of the real world. You're so used to this little town and it's lies. They lock you from the outside world and make you think that everyone is good and that the world is just. You live a superficial meaningless existence. Space is wasted on creatures like you."

Standing with her mouth agape was the most the miko could hope to do. She had known that this new student would be a problem. But she hadn't known how far he would go. Clenching her fists are her sides she smiled thinly.

/I...have...to keep calm...he doesn't know me...so he can't open his mouth.../

Her small hands clenched at her side, her tormenter seemed to be watching with silent amusement. Though his blank look stayed on his face.

"You...bastard! How dare you! You think you can come waltzing in here and just decide out of the blue what I am! You do not know me! So don't you dare presume to know jack about me! I may be a caring person but it's not show! You can't judge me by all those assholes you've met and you're the jack off who started treating me like I'm nothing!"

Her breath hissed between her teeth, her body was rigid with anger. She had never been treated like this before. She went out of her way to be kind to people always dealing with those who treated her rudely. Though no one had ever gone this far before.

Her nails left crescents on her palm. Her whole body was screaming at her to hit him but logic told her he'd hit back. And she would be the one hurting. Not like she wasn't in pain now. She could feel her face flame, and the wetness gather at the edges of her eyes.

She grinned bitterly. She had promised herself she would never let them see her cry anymore.

"You heartless prick."

Bowing her head she bent to grab her books, brushing by the annoyed Sesshomaru and out the door. She had no intention of even going to her next class. She was late as it was. Her shoulders shook as she tried to keep back her tears, making her hiccup on the way to the bathroom.

Her bag fell to the floor as her hands found the porcelain sink, not even caring about the grime around it, as she bit her lip to stifle the sob her tears making soft plunking sounds. Her knuckles were white, her hands trembling. She ignored the pain starting to find it's way to her hands as she screwed her eyes shut trying to ignore the voice.

She knew he had a point. And she hated him for it. He could see right through her. How she was always supposed to be the kind one always having Sango protect her. She was never in trouble and in a way she hated those she was forced to be kind to. His accusations of being a naive child rung more true than she even cared to admit. Ever since her father's death she was locked away in a bubble, always watching from the inside.

/Insufferable...bastard.../

Her vision was watery, her sniffles echoing off the bathroom walls. Rubbing at her eyes angrily the miko growled at herself.

I'm acting like a sniveling idiot! I do not even know this guy. I have no need to feel so...so like this! If I stay away from him then I should be fine, after all his opinion means nothing...nothing at all to me./

"Alright! It's time to stop pitying myself and get back to class!"

Clapping her hands on her cheeks she puffed her cheeks out she splashed water on her face.

/All I have to do is make it through a few more classes then I can talk with Sango./

Squaring her shoulders she pushed the bathroom door open, she thought she heard a thump, though if she allowed her thoughts to follow on that she would have prayed it was Sesshomaru she had hit. But she didn't allow herself that thought.

Smiling to all those who waved she knocked on the door to her class. She knew that she would have to face the consequences for her being tardy but for once it seemed trivial. Though in the end she wasn't admitted into the class at all, and she could feel her anger rising as those who passed by gasped or pointed and whispered.

Poking her fingers together she snuck to Sango's classroom. She was lucky she remembered where Sango's desk was and was able to jump in front of the window to catch her attention. Though she had to wait till the girl was able to find some excuse to get her out of the room.

"Kags what the hell?"

"Come here, I have a favor to ask."

Grabbing a hold of her hand the teen miko drug her friend to the nearest empty closet.

"Listen: I want to change."

"Change? You're fine the way you are. You have everything going for you why would you want to-oh."

"`Oh' What?'

Her hands were fisted on her slim hips as Kagome glared at her smiling friend. She hated the look she saw in Sango's eyes.

"I know what this is about. He really got to you didn't he? Why are you letting this bother you so much? Who cares what this rich boy thinks."

"I know! But..."

Chewing on her lip thoughtfully Kagome played with the hem of her skirt, her fingers splayed against the fabric easing non-existent wrinkles.

"Maybe...maybe he had a point. Maybe that I'm being too sheltered and too naive about life. Everyone thinks so much of me and expects me to do well...I'm transparent...I don't want to have people knowing what I'll do before I even do it. I want to change for myself...and to be able to live for me once. If I don't like it I'll promise to go back."

Running a hand through her ebony colored hair Sango shook her head. Times like these were ones she wished she could shake her friend. But she also knew that Kagome had a point, and she didn't want her to be unhappy. Which she would be until she was able to live for herself for once.

"Alright...we'll start with a make-over. We need to change your look to begin with. All you're regular `preppy' or good clothing will need to be change to a `grungy' look."

She wrinkled her nose a bit. She hated using titles, after all they were all humans. But to get the point across and the stereotyped helped her define the clothes she was going to have Kagome go for.

"Some piercings will do. I say we go for the belly button and get a few in your ears. Some fake tattoos will look nice as well, and we'll get some purple highlights in your hair. We'll go for black baggy pants and some chains on the back. Your shirts will be slightly short but we'll get you big sweat shirts as well. Those always come in handy."

She thought Kagome was going to faint. That or she was thinking of her mother's reaction. Mrs. Higurashi wasn't that strict but she also loved how her daughter looked.

"We can start using a little make-up on you, I'm pretty sure your natural looks will be enough to keep guys staring. They do that enough already."

Kagome had to bite her lips to keep the whimper of fear in. Sango looked so professional and serious that she was starting to have regrets about even asking. Though she had passed the point of no return long ago.

"Alright..."

"We go now."

"Uhm..."

"Come on don't worry `bout it. School can wait. New appearance remember?"

Linking arms with her Sango dragged Kagome from the closet, being sure to check for any sign of teachers/janitors/principal/etc before darting down the hall. Kagome knew she was in for it when Sango's face showed more excitement from this than anyone should ever have.

/Damn this Sesshomaru. I'm going to make him pay for what I go through here./

She prayed that the teachers were still busy in the classrooms as Sango wasn't being to subtle about their ditching. She wasn't skilled in this like Sango was but ran all the same.

Mall+

Cradling her head in her hands Kagome felt hot tears well in her eyes as she refused to look at the needle. Sango wanted to go for the piercings before she could `chicken out' as it was put. Though Kagome had been thinking of running away and she feared Sango was now able to read her mind.

She tasted blood as she bit the insides of her cheeks as the tears welled over, the needle piercing her sensitive flesh. Trying not to gag on the crimson liquid in her mouth she could feel the blood pool in her naval.

"S-Sango..."

Her teeth were gritted and her jaw ached horribly from it. When the ring went through her skin she could feel it and had to keep from shivering in disgust. Her body felt woozy and her vision swam when she was pulled up.

She smiled gratefully at her friend who was holding a cup of water and had a strong arm around her shoulder. She sipped once, swished, then had Sango help her to the bathroom to spit it out.

"Now for your ears. The worst is over."

Glaring heatedly at her friend she felt like stomping out but her stomach muscles protested loudly.

Back in a chair she kept her eyes closed and her hands were clenched around Sango's. She felt Sango making silent `ows' as Kagome squeezed harder on her hand.

/I'm not the only one who is going to be put through this pain./

When the fourth piercing was put in her ear (She made two people do it, refusing to let anyone near her unless it was going to be done in sync) she began to feel the buzzing and her ears felt like they were going to fall off.

"Sango you are so going to hell for this."

"I know. But I guess having uneven ear piercings are cool too."

She only let the men put in six in her left and got to the seventh in her right. Though both girls had no idea how it even got ahead anyway.

"Can we please do something that won't hurt now?"

She wanted to swat at her ears. It sounded like she was going to be attacked by a swarm of bees and her ears burned terribly.

"I didn't even know you could get that many piercings done at once."

"Hey look Kag! I forgot how close the hair dressers was so we might as well go there next anyway."

Groaning as her hand was grabbed by the over eager teen Kagome tried to keep up with her wobbly legs. She wasn't as worried about her hair redo as much as her wardrobe change.

The pleather chair was sticking to her exposed skin and she had to keep from fidgeting to get her skin free. The lady was crooning over the dark color of her hair and debating with Sango what needed to be done. The woman wanted to cut it while Sango wanted to have it left and just colored with amethyst streaking with hints of cerulean in it.

/Geez I've never felt so ignored. It's my hair, it's on my head, but it's like it belongs to them and I'm just a Barbie doll./

In the end the two had decided on a trim and bangs. Her Kagome interjected. She abhorred bangs. So another compromise was made and her bangs were going to be below her chin in a ragged cut look. The amethyst streaks made it while her bangs were going to be colored with cerulean.

Sitting still for three hours had never taken so long and Kagome was going to kill Sango for leaving her to go get food for herself. The woman chatted on about things that had no meaning.

/This woman has never heard of `Silence Is Golden'! I just want her to shut up. My ears are killing me and my stomach wants to eat itself./

Kagome had to settle for smacking her friend on the back of the head when she returned to pick her up though she was easily forgiven when Kagome was given food to appease her anger.

"Now for the clothing."

"Don't be so cheery!"

She knew Sango's preference of clothing and hated to go shopping with the girl. The store came into view and she almost lost her arm to Sango's jerking her forward. Grinning nervously the `new' Kagome licked her lips as she kept close to her friend.

She was immediately drugto a rack of pants that wereblack or had black liningThe chains clinked together when Sango picked them and held them to her waist.

"We need them to at least fit snugly on your waist and show a little of your hips"

Kagome had to admit the jeans did look nice on her, though she would never tell Sango that. Her friend was in seventh heaven already just getting to do this.

"Do they all have to have chains on the back? Or skulls for zippers?"

"Mmhm."

Sango's head was buried in the rack of pants sorting through the ones that were jeans. Sighing and shaking her head Kagome opted for leaving her friend (the pair of pants in her hands) behind while she went to check out the shirts.

They all had sayings she thought were either witty or completely stupid but somehow she ended up with both negative ones (mainly on humanity) and positive ones (not entirely or it was referring to drugs) that were short and snug.

"I cannot believe how much all that cost."

Her chin was resting on her chest as she tried to not break her wrist carrying the bags.

"Your family can afford it and besides it's all name brand and new what did you expect?This is a new store so nothing will be on sale just yet."

"Yeah, yeah...still though I feel kinda guilty buying all this without telling my mom what we had in mind."

"She's going to kill me Kag not you. If I'm lucky she'll bury me with some of her cookies!"

Grinning and nudging her friend Sango snickered when Kagome cracked a smile and rolled her eyes.

"All those cookies will make you fat!"

If you don't know the name of the pants with the skull zippers it's Tripp clothing.

A/N: Kagome's transformation is done and in the next chapter we can see how Inu reacts and how Miro will like the new Kagome. Sango will not be paired with Miroku necessarily and I'm not sure if Kikyo will be in it since I don't have a bad view of her.
