Close Up

Kokoro (Heart)
Chapter 1


Kagome stood in front of the mirror of her room, her ciggarette sitting in her ashtray. She couldn't believe it, last night, she had caught Kouga cheating on HER with Kikyo, 'That little slut!' Kagome thought as she brushed her hair, then reached down and picked her ciggarette up and took a drag. She 'd been living in this apartment for a years now, she was 17. And on top of that, she had to go to some stupid hearing tomorrow for 'sentencing'. Kagome exhaled the smoke, she was home by herself, which was a rare occurance. She stood up from her stand and put her cig out, then walked over to the balcony and looked out across the city. It was probabaly going to be the last she saw of it. The thing was, Kagome was at this party she was a little drunk, mybe a little high...ok she was wasted and lovin it, until she walked into a bathroom and saw her boyfriend and the biggest slut grinding it out on top of the fucking toilet!


Flashback


Kagome walked up the stairs of her friends house, there was this huge party tonight and she knew,everyone was going to be there, so of course she had to go. She walked up to the bathroom and pushed the door open with her foot, considering there was a drink in one hand and a small joint in the other. Kagome cooughed on the smoke she inhaled when she saw Kouga and Kikyo. Kagome heard running and screaming downstairs but didn't pay any attention, 'That bitch is fucking MY man!' she thought as she dropped her cup. Her face grew red with anger. "Kagome...it's not what it looks like." Kouga said jumping away from Kikyo, trying to pull his pants up. Kagome looked at him shaking her head, and laughed. "You're a slut Kikyo. Why the fuck do you have to mess with MY boyfriend. Can't you go stand on a street corner somehwhere?" Kagome yelled at her. Kagome heard footsteps coming up the stairs, it was strangely quiet down there.
She stepped all the way into the bathroom. "I'm not a slut-" Kikyo began but Kagome cut her off. "Yes you are! You fuck everyone's boyfriends. And Kouga I swear if you brought me something from that nasty bitch opver there, I will kill you." Kagome said pointing at Kouga. Kikyo rearaanged her tube top. Kagomes snorted in disgust. "I don't have any STDs." she shot back. "You fucking whore, you just mad because your man don't want you." Kikyo added. Kagome chuckled. "You know Kikyo, this ain't over Kouga just let you know, I'm going to beat your ass becasue simply, I don't like you." she said then she launched at Kikyo, anger fueling her blows.
She was on top of Kikyo in a milisecond and she felt hands pulling her. "Get the fuck off me! That bitch is gonna pay!" Kagome yelled as she was dragged out of the bathroom. Then she felt cold cuffs being placed on her wrists. "What the fuck!" Kagome yelled. The police had broken up the party, which had every illegal substance under the sun and where many people had got arrested. The drug her out of the house, still cursing everyone. The threw her in the back of a squad car next to some drunk motherfucker, who looked ready to puke. "Fuck, man!" Kagome yelled as they closed the door. She never thought this would happen to her.


End of Flashback




Kagome snorted as she remebered 2 nights ago. The door opened and she looked over her shoulder to see her bestfriend, Sango, since the 3rd grade. Kagome walked back inside off the balcony. "Yep, we have to see Judge Middents, who I totally hate! You know that motherfucker gave me Work Shop just becasue of truency?" Sango said looking at a letter that was on their kitchen table. "Duh! I remember, I was the one who got truency with you." Kagome chuckled. Sango nodded, and pulled a new carton of smokes out of a plastic bag. "We're gonna need these consdiering we might be going to that fucking, prissy ass boarding school." Sango said. Kagome nodded and sighed. No more partying, no more smoking at least weed, and no drinking MAN was this gonna suck!! Now, don't get Kagome wrong, she's no druggie, she justs likes partying as much as the next person does.The sun was beginning to set as they began to pack their bags, just in case they did have to leave. There was still hope, but Kagome's rather go to the boarding school than jail, which she had a choice of going to.


Kagome slid into the warm bath and laid her head on the back of the tub. Then, the night began to replay before her again, having her heart torn into. SHe thought she actually LOVED that guy. "Fuck him Kagome, don't even think about him." she mumbled to herself. For the first time since that night Kagome began to cry, the last time she cried she was 13. Kagome shook as silent sobs racked her body. She was so hurt, she'd trusted Kouga and given him her all. She thought they would work, would have more than she and Hojo had. Kagome splashed her face with water, washing the tears away. She had to be strong now, she didn't know where she was heading, and wasn't so sure she'd like it either. Then Kagome began to wash herself and then her hair. She pulled the plug at the end of the tub draining the water.
She combed her hair out and braided in a thick plait after putting on some lotion. She walked into her small room, with it's one bed and bedside table, her iPod on the charger, which she had stole from some preppy chick on the school bus about 6 months ago. She chuckled remembering the little snob. Kagome loved causing hell and mayhem, after all those two words were her middle names. She slipped into a tanktop and red shorts. She looked at the digital clock. 9:00, 'This is the earliest I've ever went to bed.' she thought as she slid under her blankets. The only reason she wasn't downstairs with her crew drinking is because she didn't want to be hung over in front of a fucking judge!Kagome turned onto her back and stared at the ceiling, the same thoughts beginning to run through her head again. 'How could he do this to me?' she thought on final time, before falling asleep.


The alarm clock sprang to life, jerking a sleeping Kagome awake. "Fuck!" the yelled/moaned sleeily. SHe grabbed the alarm clock and threw it against the wall, growing angrier when she didn;t hear it smash to pieces. "Oh shit, todays my courtday." she mumbled sitting up and pushing back the blaknets. She looked at the clock. it read 8:15. "Great, I only have 45 minutes to get ready. She walked back over to her bedisde table and grabbed her bag and put it on the bed, then grabbed a ciggarette and lit it. She inhaled as she headed towards Sango's room to wake her up. She opened her door with a bang. "Get up Sango!" Kagome yelled yanking back her blaknets. "No! I don't want to. Leave me the fuck alone." she said reaching for her covers. "Ok, you don't have to go to court today but it'll end up as a warrant for your arrest." Kagome trailed off in a girlish voice. Kagome heard Sango scream in anger as she walked towards the kitchen.
After eating and getting dressed and smoking 4 more cigs out of nerves they were both on thier motorcycles, their only prized possesions, down towards the courthouse. Kagome's was a hot pin air brushed motorcule that glimmered in the sun, her name in black across it. On the other hand, Sango's was a deep, black almost blue and her name was sparyed acorss it in pink. Kagome looked through the visor of her helmet. She hated the speed limit here, it was WAY too slow. After about 15 minutes they arrived at the acient looking building. The pulled of their helmets and put them under their arm as they walked towards the courthouse.


"Do you know the injuries that Kikyo has sustained?" the judge asking Kagome, he had already 'interrigated' Sango who was at the party also. Kagome ground her teeth, she was trying to be patient but it wasn't working. "No, and I really don't give a shit." she fired back. The judged looked like he was slapped. "This hearing is about me right? Then why do you keep on asking me questions about that bitch." she snarled, tightening her grip on her helmet. "Kikyo, is me great-granddaughter. And you should know the pain you've casued her." The judge huffed. "Well, I have some news for you Mr. Judge. You 'great-granddaughter' is the whore of the school, and she fucked my boyfriend. She definetly got what she deserved what she got, and I have no symptathy for her." she said. "In that case, I sentence you 2 years at Boarding School or Refinment." he said slamming her gavel down. Kagome waved her hand. "Yeah, yeah big deal." she said. She and Sango had both gotten the same punishment, and Sango didn't even do anything but stand up for Kagome.They sighed as they were told how to get to the school and everything, and that if they weren't there in a certain amount of time, a warrant would be issued, yaddah,yaddah,yaddah.
Sango had left before Kagome, leaving her on her motorcycle in the parking lot, thoughs beginning to roll through her head. "It's all that bitch's fault." she said as she took a cig from her pack. She REALLY needed on, now. She heard a rumbling and she turned around, exhaling smoke as she watched a midnight blue motorcycle pull up, a rider with silver hair on it. He pulled off his helmet and Kagome could barely hide her gasp as he parked next to her. She heard him curse as she patted himself down, muttering about dropping his pack. Kagome held out hers, a cig sticking out of the top. "Thanks, I really need one." he said gruffly still sitting on his bike, his helet perched on the handlebars. "So, you're obivoulsy here for something, what happened?" he asked, taking a drag.
"Oh, I just got 2 yrs. of punk ass boarding school. Like that's gonna change anything." she said. He nodded. "Well, I was at this party that got busted and-" he began but I cut him off. "You were there?" she asked. He nodded. "I was there too, I didn't see you there. I'm also here becasue I beat up the judges relative, Kiky or whatever the fuck he said." she said already forgetting what Kikyo was to the judge. "That was you?" he asked. She nodded blushing. "I had just borken up with that bitch." he said a frown coming across his face. She flick her cig butt, and placed her helmet on, then lifted up the visor. "Nice talking with you, now if you don't mind, I got one last night of partying to do before I'm shipped off." then she sped off, her enging reving. Inuyasha watched the girl drive away. She was diffrent, even though she did some of the things that Kikyo did, besides be a total whore. His thoughts lingered on her as he walked towards the building.

"Oh my GOD! He was so sexy, you should have seen him." Kagome said to Sango inside their house. They'd decided not to throw a party but just chill and hang out with eachother. Kagome shuddered as the vodka went down her throat in her orange juice. No matter how many time you drink it you never get used to it. "Ahh, you're such a pussy!" Sango said downing a shot of pure vodka. Kagome shuddred just watching Sango do that, it really did burn but it made you all warm and fuzzy on the inside. "What's his name?" Sango asked, taking a puff off the blunt they were passing to eachother, they sat on the balcony, looking up at the full moon. "You know what...I didn't even ask." she said, a little forlornly. "Crap." she moaned, she really had though he was cute, hell, he was fine, sexy, hot all of those adjectives. Kagome giggled. "What's so funny?" Sango asked, her cheeks beginning to turn pink, like Kagome's.
"I was just thinking, about the first time we ever got high, do you remember that?" Kagome asked, a smile growing on her face. "Oh snap! I do! Man I was laughing so fucking hard if felt like I was doing flips." Sango said, Kagome remebered that also, they sat in her bathroom and Sango said she felt like she was doing flips over the shower bar, but it was impossible but Sango still believed she did. Kagome and Sango broke into laughter, talking about old times. "So, what time do we have to be at that shit hole tomorrow?" Sango asked. Kagome shrugged, "I think either one or two o' clock." she said. She stood up, a little wobbly and headed towards the the stereo in the living room. She turned it on blasting it to where it could be heard from the balcony. "Come dance with me Sango." Kagome yelled dancing around the living room, singing the song off key and happily tipsy.
Sango joined in, setting the bottle on the floor. They both danced around, smiling and laughing. Enjoying their last days of freedom.
"Ok, I think that's enough for one night." Kagome said turning off the stereo, which was beginning to make her head hurt. "Ahh, silence." Sango sighed, from the living room couch. Kagome took a cig from her pack and lit it, inhaling deeply. For some odd reason whenever she was drunk or high, she NEEDED a ciggarette.
Kagome walked into her softly lit room, she was going to decorate her dorm room like that. With soft red or orange paper lanterns, like the old traditional ones. She to the iPod of the charger and turned it on, putting on some Do As Infinity, she changed into some sleeping clothes clumsily and fell on the bed with a sigh, she was going to miss this. With one idea highlighting her mind Kagome pulled open her drawer and grabbed her stash, and stuffed it inside on of her pill bottles she was taking with her, then she laid back down. She refused to give up her favorite pasttime of the day becasue of Fat ass Judge Middents sent her to The Shithole (Sango and Kagome had christened it).
"Fuck a fat ass Judge." Kaogme mumbled to herself before falling asleep.
