By: CelestialMaidenOfMusic Kagome lived with her grandmother Kaede basically the first nine years of her life. Her mother was always "away" working, partying, or out with one of her many "friends". Kagome had attended a private school from kindergarten to the end of her fourth .... grade year. Towards the middle of her last year there, she lived with her mother off and on. Since they hadn't spent a lot of time together, they argued and bickered a lot. Her mother then forced her to attend counseling, because "she had problems that she needed to deal with immediately". Within the next year or two, her mother gave birth to Kagome's new half brother, Souta. A little boy--the gender her mother wanted all along. Too bad she couldn't make time for him either, seeing as how Kagome practically raised him for 5 years. In time her mother got a divorce, and Kagome watched as her father walked out of their home, with nothing but a basket of socks, the only thought going through her head was, "this is my fault?!?!". However, her mother got a new boyfriend, and things just got worse for Kagome. This time it was a convicted child molester...and his next target was Kagome. He succeeded. Kagome and her mother started fighting on an every day basis. This lead to Kagome moving out and back in with her Grandmother, Kaede.
