InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The Step Family ❯ Dear Diary ( Chapter 1 )

Disclaimer: I do not own any character from InuYasha.

Rated: PG-13

Author's Note: I'm sorry to say that Souta, Kagome's Grandpa, and her fat, but cute cat Buyo will not be in this story. I thought of adding them in but as I contemplated their parts, It wouldn't fit with the plans I have with this story. Another thing, I just want to clear this out; in a stepfamily, the members are not blood related. And Kagome's long-time high school crushes, all of a sudden became her new stepbrothers? So just imagine what she will be going through. Just wanted to let you know before you read.

Chapter One: Dear Diary

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

Everyone laughed….

The laugh of hell she had grown to hate.

Even her very few and closest friends were laughing.

It hurt so badly…enough to create the puddle of sorrow in her eyes.

An echo of sudden rings sounded through her ears…how she loved to be saved by the bell again.

She did what she only could think of; Kagome ran through the crowds of laughter and cried her way out of the hell that was known to be her school.

Her vision became blurry as she scampered over to her parked bike. She noticed through her watery gray eyes that the tires were flat. Why must they do this to her!?

Then came more laughter…

She hopped on her bike and strode her way out the school's campus. It was a floppy ride back to her shrine, but she didn't care, not at all.

"I hate you…" she whimpered to nobody, as she reached to her shrine steps and hopped out of her rusty-looking bike.

She sat on the steps and slouched her right shoulders to take off her small blue school bag. She rammed into her bag and took out a pink diary book; the one she called her only true friend.

She constantly sniffed to hold back more tears from sliding down her pale face. She began to write:

Dear diary,

It's me again, telling you more about how my life sucks in many different ways. Today at my school, something happened. It was one of the most embarrassing days in my entire 17yrd-old life. This was what happened…I was walking down the long hallway of my school, Shikon High. There was one more period of school before the last bell rang for the day. I was excused from Totosai's class to meet up with principal Kaede about my school's tuition my mom had troubled paying each month. My mom and I really didn't live in luxury to put it in terms.

Somehow I was distracted for a moment by something and accidentally bumped into InuYasha, one of the most popular guys in school and also my long-time crush. His brother, Sesshomaru, my other long-time crush, and his friends, Kouga, Naraku, Kikyo, Yura, and Kagura accompanied him.

Kikyo, InuYasha's bitchy- cheerleading girlfriend found her way into my book bag and grabbed you, my diary out. She flipped through your small pages and found something humorous in it. I tried to snatch you back to prevent her from reading my secrets, including having a crush on her boyfriend and his brother. But I couldn't.

Students in the classrooms have seen the commotion from the inside and curiosity had made them come out to gather around "the popular people" and me. The crowd increased into a large student body along with teachers who was also curious about the situation. Kikyo read and read some of my embarrassing secrets out loud. I snatched it away with anger, hearing the crowd beginning to erupt in laughter.

*!*

"Oh my gosh!!" Kagome suddenly heard her mother cry out from inside the shrine. She stopped her writing and arose from the shrine steps. Worry had over-taken her and she skidded into the place, only to be met with a scene she'd least expected.

Her mother stood in the middle of the room, one of her hand cupped over her mouth to hide what looked like shock and excitement. She was looking down at a man who was kneeled in front of her and grabbing her other free hand.

This strange man, Kagome noted, had long silver hair tied back at the nape of his neck. He wore nice looking black pants, along with a white dress shirt and golden tie.

The man looked up at her mother with pleading golden eyes as he took out a small black case from his pocket and snapped it open, revealing one of the most beautiful diamond ring Kagome had ever seen. But seeing this was something she would only hate…

"Will you marry me…?" Those words were spoken from the man, who waited for the once-in-a lifetime answer. And the answer that came from her mother would not only change Kagome's life but will also create more hell for her upcoming dreaded future.

"Yes, InuTaisho! I want to marry you!"

The name sounded familiar to Kagome. And the man's looks had made her wonder…

Then it hit to her… wasn't this the same man who was known to be the father of InuYasha and Sesshomaru?

Damn…

"…Dammit Kagome, wake the hell up!"

Kagome woke up at the sound of her name. She grumbled something that even she couldn't understand. She struggled to open her eyes, only to be met with the most beautiful ambers eyes staring down at her. She closed her eyes once again. Damn, it was so hard to keep your eyes open when it felt like it burned every time you tried to open them.

Her ears suddenly picked up a sound of snickering. But she was half-awake to not even care where it came from. She was tired…she wanted more sleep…

"InuYasha…" A deep voice whispered in the background. Kagome barely heard this, but she didn't bother to open her sleepy eyes to see what was going on.

"Sesshomaru, now!" The other voice called out, nearly passing an intended whisper.

The feel of a waterfall…Her mind began to wander. Felt like droplets from heaven hugging your soft skin.

Her brows furrowed in confusion whilst having her eyes still closed.

Waterfalls are not suppose to feel like water turning into solid ice…it's so cold…

Kagome reluctantly forced her eyes to open, only to find droplets of water dripping on her face… in reality. She shot up and suddenly felt her blue pajamas, hair and bed drenched in water… a lot of it.

"You assholes!" Kagome screamed. She saw Sesshomaru, half-naked in his white boxers, dropping a bucket that was now empty of the cold substance. Then she noticed another figure standing next to him…InuYasha. He was also half-naked in his red boxers, coolly laughing at the state Kagome was in.

She tried to stay focus on her anger, but it was so hard to keep her eyes from wandering down their muscular bodies…it just made her forget why she was mad in the first place.

"You weren't gonna wake up so I thought maybe some morning water would do the trick…." InuYasha stifled another laugh while looking at the dazed girl. "You look so stupid right now."

Hearing the word "stupid" brought Kagome out of her daze state and anger flared up again. She grabbed a wet pillow next to her and forcefully threw it at the brothers, which was soon dodged by them. Sesshomaru merely smirked out of amusement while InuYasha continued to laugh.

Kagome hated being laughed at…

"Get out, you stupid jerks!" She angrily grabbed another pillow and threw it at InuYasha. "Get…out!!!" She screamed and blindly threw everything she could get her hands on.

Sesshomaru easily dodged the object flying at him while each item coming his way had almost hit InuYasha. Sesshomaru started to get bored and spoke, "Girl, we merely intended to wake you up. Your mother has sent us to tell you to get ready for our little family cruise today. So I suggest you wear something decent…"

"Yeah. And if you were wondering, the only reason why we're tagging along is because our father made sure our allowance will be cut short if we refused to go. Other than that, we wouldn't waist our time with you losers…"

Kagome growled at the insult and reached out to grab the nearest object she could use to shut this jerk up.

"Oh, shit." InuYasha cursed as he saw Kagome grabbing her clock from the side of the bed. InuYasha hastily shoved Sesshomaru aside, attempting to run out the door before she did something crazy. But Sesshomaru would not allow him to be the first to run to safety. And so, he snatched InuYasha's arm and pushed him enough that he fell to ground with a loud thump.

"Sayonara, brother." Sesshomaru coolly walked out the room, leaving a pissed and frightened InuYasha alone with the raging mad girl. All he could hear was a slow, harsh breathing growing louder and louder in the room. His eyes looked pleadingly at the girl; hoping to get her sympathy at the moment. He only had one life, right?

Kagome fiercely grinned, giving him the hint that he wasn't going to get her sympathy; not a damn bit. "Not funny now, huh?…" She sarcastically asked.

InuYasha shuffled himself up and ran out as fast as he could, shutting the door to prevent the clock from connecting with his pretty head.

Kagome slammed back down her clock on the small desk beside her bed and squealed out in frustration. After relieving some of the anger balled up inside of her, she frantically searched for her diary in her secret hiding place… underneath her bed.

She grabbed it and laid back down on her cold, wet bed and began to write:

Dear diary,

Today is Saturday, July 1, 9:15 am. I have awoken this morning to find myself drenched in water. And who better to cause it, the hot brothers from my school. Truthfully, I think they're actually the hot brothers from hell, sent to make someone's life miserable; like mine for example. Ever since the day my mom decided to marry their father, the brothers didn't take the news too well, neither did I. I found out later from my mother that she was secretly dating their father for quite a while but I still couldn't figure out why she kept it a secret. For once in my life, I hated my mother for marrying the hell to come. But in a way, I would have to secretly thank her for some odd reason.

Having my two biggest crushes now living under the same roof as I, was something I longed for. It was a way to get to know them a little more and to see what they did during their spare time and at night's…diary, please excuse me for my wandering thought, I'm just a little out of it right now. Like I was saying, my mother and I moved out of the shrine to live in the Takahashi household. Why? Because my mother said it was much bigger and better than our own. Just because the Takahashi's were rich, doesn't mean they were better in any way…Err, let's leave it at that. Anyway, I have to go now and get ready for the big and upcoming dreaded day with my mom and my new…how to put it…Stepfamily?…
