was like she was lost in a fog. She couldn’t see five feet in front of her and
yet she wasn’t scared. Although she had no idea where she was, no idea if she
was alone, there wasn’t an ounce of fear in her body. She figushe she had picked
that up from her best friend, who she had known since she could walk. The woman
shook her head and tried to clear her thoughts. That particular person seemed
to invade her thoughts more often than usual now and that was not always a good
thing.
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>Kagome
Higurashi was a typical college student. Her grades were good, she helped plan
events for the school and she was a loyal friend. The only thing that bothered
her was that her love life was well...nonexistent. It hadn’t been a big deal in
high school because even she knew that those kinds of relationships never last.
She had tried to stay away from the opposite sex, but half the male population
in her high school followed her around anyway. It had become rather tiresome
and had not stopped until her best friend threatened to castrate every male
that came near her.
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>‘Good
ol’ Inuyasha.’ She thought with a giggle. Inuyasha lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:black'>Tetsusaigastyle='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>
had come into her life at a very young age and she was extremely grateful. He
filled her life with meaning and Kagome would never dream of changing a single
memory that concerned him. She ran a hand through her long raven hair in
frustration. She was stuck in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by a fog that
was as thick as peanut butter and appeared to be alone. Fuck. How did she get
herself into these things?
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>Kagome
looked around and called out to anyone who was close enough to hear. It didn’t
seem like there was anyone around, so she started to walk aimlessly through the
thick mist. She wasn’t about to start running all over the place; there was no
point. If she couldn’t see anything from where she was, it wasn’t going to be
any different if she was fifty feet from here. She laughed at the thought of
suddenly bursting out of the fog as if it were a box; like a cage holding her
inside, alone and lost.

class=GramE>“Oi!”style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>

st'fon'font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>“No

quickly and suddenly all she could see was amber. The style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>colourstyle='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";mso-ansi-lage:Ege:EN-US'>

whirled within the person’s eyes and no matter how much Kagome tried she could not
turn her gaze away from the person in front of her.

style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>“Do
you always stare at people like that?” The person chuckled. “Or am I special?”
She was shaken out of her reverie by the person’s low voice and suddenly found the
ground to be very interesting.

style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>‘Why
am I acting like this?’ She asked herself. ‘It’s only He’s my best friend. And why is my face getting hot?’ She
shook her head, hoping it would get rid of the heat; it didn’t.
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>“Konnichiwa
Inuyasha.” Kagome said, finally meeting his gaze. “I haven’t seen you in a
while, where have you been?” He looked away as if he wasn’t sure what to say.
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>“What
are you, my mother?” He snapped, but she could see the laughter in his eyes.
Kagome relaxed a little and laughed along with him. His laughter warmed her
entire body and Kagome could not help but feel like she had been wrapped in a
loving embrace. This was always happening to her. He always had a way of making
her problems go away, even if they were really small. It was helpful knowing
that there was always someone there for her.
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>‘This
is more like it.’ She thought. They started talking about nothing in particular
and the fog was long forgotten. It was not until she style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>realisedstyle='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>
that their surroundings seemed to be getting darker that Kagome mentioned the
mysterious mist.

style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>“class=SpellE>Ne, Inuyasha.” Said aid looking around nervously “Do you know
the way out of this fog? I’ve been here for a while but I haven’t seen anyway
out.” He looked around as well, but didn’t seem to be as frantic as she was.
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>“The
only way out is to "Comic Sans MS"'>realise your true feelings.” He salooklooking into her azure
eyes.

styfontfont-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>‘Wow,
you could get lost in those things.’ Kagome thought to herself. As always, his
golden orbs were sucking her in and she was making no effort to stop them. And
they were such an amazing font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>colour; they were an amber-like
gold, and would peer into her soul if she looked long enough.
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>
class=GramE>“My
true feelings?” Kagome was confused. “What do you mean Inuyasha? class=GramE>Inuyasha?!” She wasn’t confused anymore, she was scared and
concerned. He had suddenly bent over holding his stomach. She couldn’t see his
face because his long silver hair was in the way. His arms were wrapped around
his waist and he fell down onto one knee. It looked as if his wasn’t able to
support himself and Kagome was becoming hysterical.
lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>
lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>‘What the hell
is going on?’ She thought frantically, ‘Is he sick?’ She stared at the man in
shock as he let out a moan. He started to shake and Kagome was still trying to
figure out whas was wrong. It wasn’t like anyone had hurt him; she would have seen
it. But the way he was kneeling made it seem like he was in a great deal of
pain. She clenched her fist in anger because all she could do was stand and
there and watch; she was helpless.
lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>
class=GramE>“Inuyasha
daijobouka?” rus rushed to his side and tried to help him up, but he just
shrugged her off. Then he collapsed and Kagome gasped. Her feet felt as if they
were nailed to the floor and she couldn’t move. Her whole body started to shake
as she stared at her best friend. He lay in a crumpled heap on the ground, his
eyes closed, his breathing staggered. His chest rose and fell with a laboured
motion and Kagome wanted to cry.
lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>
lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-fa:"Co:"Comic Sans MS"'>Inuyasha’s lip
was bleeding and so was his side. A small pool of blood was now on the ground
where he lay and there was a large stain on his shirt. He had bruises all over
his arms and a black eye. She couldn’t believe it! When had this happened? He
was fine just a minute ago. Kagome looked him up and down and when she got to
the lower half of his body she noticed something, his left les tws twisted at a
very unusual angle. It wasn’t enough to be broken but she knew there was
definitely something wrong with it.
lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>
class=GramE>‘Holy
shit!’
Kags brs breath got caught in her throat and her hand flew her mouth. ‘He looks
like he’s dead.’ She was finally able to get out of her frozen state and she
reached out for him. The only problem was that he seemed to be getting further
and further away. Kagome started to run towards him, in hopes of helping him
somehow. Tears formed in her eyes and started to fall down her cheeks as she
called out to him.
lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>
class=GramE>“Inuyasha!”lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'> She screamed,
“Inuyasha!! Inuyasha!!!” Tears continued to stream
down her face as she struggled to get closer to him, but it was no use. No
matter how hard she tried, he was always out of her reach. Kagome pushed
herself to go faster and called out to him again. His eyes fluttered open and
their gazes locked. Inuyasha's face was so full of pain that Kagome let out a
gut-wrenching sob and reached out for him again. His silver hair was in
disarray and a few strands had fallen over his eyes. He struggled to push
himself up in order to get a better view of her and Kagome felt herself getting
tired.
lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>
lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>“Realise your true
feelings.” He said. “That’s the only way out.” He looked at her for a fleeting
moment and then collapsed onto the ground. Kagome felt confusion pierce through
her pao:p>o:p>
lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>
class=GramE>“The
only way out? Out of where?!” She looked at the
silver-haired man and watched as he faded into the dist. Th. The mist had become
even darker and she finally felt afraid. She fell to the ground, wrapping her
arms around her shivering body and gazed at Inuyasha. His blood soaked body was
the last thing Kagome saw before darkness surrounded her.

lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0ptt-fat-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>Kagome slowly
opened her eyes and the first thing she noticed was that the fog was gone. She
looked around and realised that she was in her dorm room...with a very annoying
alarm clock going off. She reached over to her bedside table out of habit shutshut
it off. Light was shining in through the window and gave the room a soft glow.
She blinked a few times before sitting up.
lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"c Sac Sans MS"'>
class=GramE>‘A
dream?’
She wondered, ‘Eh, more like a nightmare.’ Kagome schedched her arms over hheadhead and yawned. It was another December morning and from the look of it, it
had snowed again. She got up from her bed and grimaced as her feet made contact
with the cold floor. Kagome didn’t like to wear slippers. Although many people
kept on telling her about how warm they made their feet, she just thought it
was a hassle. She was more of a barefoot or socks kind of girl and so she never
bothered with slippers.
lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>
lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>Today she
wished she had.

lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>“Haven’t they ever
heard of heated flooring?” She grumbled aloud. Kagome rubbed her arms as she
shivered. There were Goosebumps all over her arms now and she tried to warm
herself. Then she walked over to the window and peered outside. It took her
eyes a moment to adjust and Kagome squinted at the world outside. The campus
was blanketed with a layer of pure white that sparkled in the morning light. She
could not believe how beautiful everything looked. Kagome stood there in awe
and watched as the sun reflected off the snow.
lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>
lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>‘This is the
only good thing about mornings in winter.’ The raven-haired woman thought, ‘If
you get up early enough, you can see the snow without any markings made by
animals or people.’ In truth, Kagome loved snow. Many people hated how
inconvenient it was but she loved to go for long walks and just admire the
scenery. She was so engrossed by the scene outside that she did not hear her
roommate creep up behind her. >
lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>
lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>“Ynow
said, giggling. Kagome jumped three feet in the air.
lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>
lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>“class=SpellE>Kami-sama Sango, you scared the shit out of me!” Kagome
grasped her chest and tried to control her breathing. Sangst lst laughed and
headed towards the bathroom. Sango Taijya had lived near Kagome since they were
in elementary school. She was Kagome’s closest girlfriend, but not her best
friend. No one could take the place of Inuyasha, but there were some things she
just couldn’t talk to him about. Sango was great for girl stuff and she always knew how to have a good time.
lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>
“Just
wanted to wake you up a bit more, Kagome.”style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'> She glared at Sango and
the coffee-haired woman laughed again before closing the door. Kagome could
hear the tap running from inside, so she knew she was safe from anymore heart
attacks that morning. She knew she had a few minutes before Sango would come
out of the bathroom. Sango was very hygienic and so she always took a long time
to get ready. Her long dark hair looked as if it fromfrom one of those shampoo
commercials because Sango took such good care of it.
lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>
lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>Kagome
occasionally felt jealous of Sango because she was so neat. It came so
naturally to her while Kagome was struggling to keep her side of the room
clean. Sango’s side was spotless and she was always scolding Kagome about it.
Kagome didn’t mind though, she just told her that was the reason they got along
so well. The two girls were so opposite and yet so similar at the same time. She
was glad she had found a friend like Sango. Kagome took one more glance outside
and frowned.
lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>
lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>“I reado
do
not feel like going to class today.” Kagome sighed. What she really wanted to
do was go outside. She did not want to be stuck inside a boring classroom all
day. She looked at her watch, “Well, it’s already
moving or I really am going to be late.” She walked over to her closet and opened
the door.
langCA sCA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>
lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>It was one of
those typical college dorm closets; her clothes were on the right and Sango’s
were on the left. Kagome looked through her things for something to wear. She
was glad she didn’t have to wear the same thing everyday like she did in high
school. She hated those uniforms they had been made to wear. The only good
thing came out of high school was the fact that she and Sango had become
closer.
lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>
lan-CA -CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>Her hand
touched something soft and she pulled out a bright red, long-sleeved shirt.
Kagome stared at the shirt and her eyes widened a little.
lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>
I even had this.” It wasn’t something she wore very often because it seemed a
little too fancy for her. But the shade brought out the gold specks in her sapphire
eyes and so she brought it out of the closet and put it on her bed. It also
looked good against her creamy skin, so that was a plus as well. Then she went
over to her dresser and opened one of the middle drawers. She pulled out a
dark, flared pair of low-rise jeans and laid them beside her shirt.
lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>
lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>‘These will
look really good together,’ Kagome thought, ‘But I need a belt or something
since the top only goes half-way down my stomach.’ She blushed at the thought
of walking around the school with her stomach showing. Kagome was fairly modest
and didn’t like to show off that much skin. But hanging around Sango had
brought out the wild side in her and she felt like being spontaneous today.
lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>
lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>Kagome stood in
front of her dresser with her hands on hips, her pale pink pyjama pants crumpling
under her fingers. She tried to think of something that would go with her
outfit. Suddenly she got an idea and started rummaging through her jewellery
box. It didn’t take her very long until she found exactly what she was looking
for was was a chain with little white stones hanging from it. The jewels hung
from the chain loops and were about three loops apart. Kagome held it up to the
light and thought about the time it had been given to her.

lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>
lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>“I so do not.”
She had turne lea least three shades of red and suddenly found something very
interesting in her lap to look at. Miroku was standing beside her chair and
still had his hand extended towards her. Kagome had a huge smile on her face
and had to contain her laughter. She watched as her friend squirmed in her
seat. Kagome knew that Sango had a thing for Miroku but he was such a player
that Sango wasn’t about to admit her feelings any time soon.
lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>
lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>Miroku Houshi
was one of the most popular guys in their entire high school, along with
Inuyasha. His dark brown, shoulder-length hair was always tied back into a
ponytail at the nape of his neck and he was constantly wearing a smile. Kagome
guessed that it was his dark violet eyes that entranced the whole female
population. He was always being followed around by girls and that was one of
the reasons that Sango had never told him how she really felt. The other was
his lecherous hand. It tended to wander to places it shouldn’t.
lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>
lang=EN-CA stylont-ont-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>“Onegai Lady
Sango,” He pleaded, “Just one dance and I swear I will control myself.” He put
on a puppy dog face that not even the all-mighty Sango could resist. She rolled
her eyes and looked at Kagome. If she was looking for sympathy, Kagome was not
about to give her any. Kagome just smiled innocently and motioned for her to go
with Miroku. Sango glared at her.
lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>
class=GramE>"Comic Sans MS"'> She said exasperatedly, “But just one and if your hands start
wondering, I’m going to hit you so hard that we’ll have to drag you home.”
lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>
lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>“Don’t you do
that already?” She took his hand and he led her onto the dance floor. People
were dancing to an upbeat song that Kagome had never heard before and the club
lights were flashing all kinds of different colours. Sango had persuaded Kagome
to come to the club for her eighteenth birthday. Kagome had replied with “Only
if you invite Miroku.” And Sango had relented after a whole bunch of arguing
but Kagome could see that she was happy.
lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>
lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>Kagome watched
as the couple walked onto the dance floor. Sangs abs about to start dancing
when the music changed and a slow song started. Kagome couldn’t help but laugh
as Sango blushed. She turned to waway way but the violet-eyed teen grabbed her
hand. Miroku twirled her around and put his arms around her waist. He pulled
her close and whispered something in her ear. A small smile crept onto Sango’s
face. Her arms snaked up around his neck and linked her hands together. Kagome
could see that Sango was embarrassed but shen gon got into the rhythm and put
her head on his shoulder.

a good couple.” Kagome said to no one in particular. She rested her head on her
hand as she stared at the happy pair. They slowly swayed to the music and it
was almost as if the song was being played especially for them.
lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>
lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>“I agree.” Someone
said from behind her. Kagome turned around and saw her best friend sit down at
the table. His silver hair was loose around his shoulders and his black leather
jacket was open, showing off his red shirt. He sat back in his chair in a
relaxed position and Kagome narrowed her eyes at him.
lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>
lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>“It’s about
time you got here.” She said angrily. She had asked him to come as soon as
Sango had suggested the club idea. Kagome had hoped he would have surprised her
with some flowers or something but she knew that was just wishful thinking. All
the same, she still would lik liked it if he had shown up on time. Inuyasha had
a tendency for being late and this night was no exception. “You couldn’t even
try to make it on time for my birthday Inuyasha?”
lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>
lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>“Sorry class=SpellE>Kag,” He shrugged his shoulders sheepishly, “I had to pick
up something.” Kagome raised an eyebrow at him and crossed her arms across her
chest. She glared at the teen as he watched the people on the dance floor.
lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>
lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>‘What was so
important that he had to be late for my birthday?’ Kagome thought to herself.
She figured it had to be something about Kikyou and that made her even angrier.
It was bad enough he was dating her cousin, but ditching her for Kikyou was
even worse. She was about to ask about it when he put a small box on the table.
Kagome looked at him with a questioning glance.
lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>
lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>“Just open it,”
he said not making eye contact. Kagome pick up the box and examined the
wrapping paper. The background was a soft baby blue and was decorated with pink
cherry blossoms. She pulled off the ribbon and used a knife to cut the tape so
she wouldn’t ruin the paper. She had distinctly told him not to get her a
present because Sango and Miroku had said they weren’t going to. But they ended
up paying for her ticket into the club anyway.
lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>
lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>‘Why doesn’t he
ever listen to me?’ She smiled internally as she fingered the small package. She
finally got the wrapping paper off and took the top off the box. She gasped and
stared at the gift. It was a silver chain belt with little white jewels attached
it. Each jewel hung at a different length that would sway when she walked.
lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>
lang=EN-CA style='font-s10.010.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>‘class=SpellE>Kirei...’ She gently touched the chain and ran her fingers
over the smooth jewels. It was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen. She
pulled it out of the box and spread it out on the table in front of her. The
white stones sparkled in the dim light of the club and Kagome could not help
but smile. She figured she must have been gazing at it longer than she thought,
because Inuyasha suddenly spoke up.
lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>
lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>“I take it from
the look on your face that you like it,” he said chuckling. She looked at him
and nodded slowly. Words could not express what she was feeling.
lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>
lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>“Where did you
find this?” The raven-haired teenager asked, for she had never seen anything
like this in her entire life. Nothing even came close; she had seen girls
wearing fancy belts around the school but nothing like this. This was... well,
it was something.
lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>
lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>“Kikyou helped
me pick it out. I figured that I should get another woman’s opinion before I
made a fool of myself.” He replied, looking awkward. All of the happiness
Kagome had received from opening his gift evaporated. Her shoulders dropped and
her hand came away from the chain so fast it looked like she had been burned by
it.
lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>
lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>‘I knew she was
going to ruin my birthday.’ Kagome thought bitterly. ‘alwaalways does.’ Ever
since Kagome could remember, her cousin Kikyou had somehow managed to ruin her
birthday. Her mother made her invite Kikyou because she was family until she
turned thirteen but it wasn’t too long after that that she came to live with
them. Kagome had been partial to her aunt and uncle’s death because she cared
about them but it meant that Kikyou had no legal guardians. And then, her
mother, being the saint that she was, invited Kagome’s cousin to live with them
until she could make it on her own.
lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>
class=GramE>‘That
stuck-up bitch.’ Kagome thought, ‘She has no idea what we did for
her.’ She bunched the chain up and put it back in the box that it. Then she
replaced the top and folded the wrapping paper. She put the gift in the small
black purse that lay on the table and looked back at Inuyasha.
lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>
lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>“Arigatou
Inuyasha.” She put on a fake smile so he wouldn’t know how much his words hurt
her, “It’s beautiful. I’ll treasure it always.”

lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>
lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>‘It doesn’t
matter if she helped him pick it out not not,’ Kagome thought, ‘It was a present from
Inuyasha on my eighteenth birthday and therefore it’s special.’ She untangled
it from her other necklaces and put it the rest of her clothes. Then she
selected a pearl hairclip from the bottom of the box and smiled.
lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>
lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>“I think I’ll
put my hair up a little today,” she said aloud. Kagome opened her top drawer
and pulled out the necessary under garments before gathering up the rest of her
outfit and heading towards the bathroom. She was about to knock on the bathroom
door when it opened. Sango took one look at her and smiled. She had her dark
brown hair up in its usual high ponytail and her bangs were brushed off to the
side. Her pale pink eye shadow and dark eyeliner made her magenta eyes stand
out even more.
lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>
lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>“Wow, perfect
timing!” Kagome said as she passed Sango with an arm load of clothes and
accessories. Sango had changed into a sleeveless black t-shirt that had ‘Hands
off’ written in neon pink letters across it and a pair of dark blue jeans. On
her feet were her regular sneakers. They had been white when Sango had bought
them but then she spray-painted them black and added some silver glitter in
order to give them some sparkle.
lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>
lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>“I know,” the
coffee-haired woman giggled, “We’ve been hanging out too long. I’m able to read
your thoughts now Kagome.” Sango held her forest green pyjamas in one hand and
her jean jacket in the other. Kagome laughed along with her as she walked into
the bathroom. Sloselosed the door behind her and her laughter instantly died.
Then she sagged against the door and sighed.
lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>
lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic San"'>‘"'>‘If you were
able to do that Sango,’ Kagome thought sadly, ‘You’d know that I’m in love with
my best friend.’
