Wake Me Up Inside by Kuma

1

Kagome Higurashi is actually a female. Atleast thats what her birth certificate said. Kagome is 15 and all her life shes been one of the guys. She wasn't a lesbian, she just wasn't into doing the 'grown up' or who you do the 'grown up' with. She is a triplet with Sango a sly flirt and Kikyo a sosphisticated trophy all the boys wanted to win. Being the youngest of four she also had an older brother Souta who was 16 their chauffer as they called him and also their protector. They lived with their mother,father and grandparents in a shrine in Tokyo. The Higurashi's being a wealthier family in Japan were among the elite social class and they all attended a prep school Shikon Academy For The Future Seeds Of Japan or as they called it AcaTama. Kagome wasn't ugly, by far her and her sisters were the prettiest in their school and most of the public schools around Tokyo but guys to Kagome were freinds not food just like in finding Nemo besides Kagome didn't think the smell of blood would make her suddenly boy crazy until Naraku Onigumo came into the picture. It was near summer. Kagome and her friends stood around the water fountain at AcaTama talking and making plans for the holiday when Kagome noticed the new student Oni backing away from a group of rowdy punk wannabes. Kagome's heart ached for him he looked so afraid as he quickly scrambled to his feet she saw red covering his face as one of the boys fist met Onigumo's face. Her best friend InuYasha laughed at the newbie being kicked around, it was apart of AcaTama a way to BREAK you in to the prep school. Kagome huffed at her friend and ran over to help the fallen boy if only she would have been watching the entire fight she would of seen Onigumo grab one of boys girlfriends and forcefully pull her off of the bench and try to get her to go with him. But poor Kagome was little too late as she arrived at the victims side shooing all the other boys away. She looked down into Oni's baby blue eyes and melted.

"Are you okay?" Kagome asked once she got the nerve.

"Am I in heaven?" Onigumo slyly asked.

"Oh you poor thing you must have a concuss.." Kagome was startled as Onigumo began to laugh.

"Are all angels as pretty as you?'' He asked thus starting a beautiful black and blue relationship.

~Sometime during Summer~

Kagome had been dating Oni for two months now and she had slowly begun to change. It started out slowly. At first her gaze would be continulously on the floor when around others besides Oni. This was a rule. Oni didn't want Kagome to share her beauty with no one else besides him, she couldn't look at another man atleast not at his face only his shoes. She wasn't to speak unless spoken too and only if Oni allowed her to speak to that person. She couldn't dress how she would like he forced her to wear baggy shirts and sweat pants only he was allowed to see her figure. She wasn't allowed to use perfume or scented soap or hair conditioner. In gym class she had to wear the guys uniform. She couldn't swim unless he was around no guy would see her wet besides him and the biggest rule was no telling. If She told slowly he promised her family would die and she would help him do it. These were the rules for dating Naraku Onigumo and if she broke these rules he broke her. One time she wore lipgloss to the movies with Sango and that day he broke her virginity. Kagome was terrified of him when they were together and even more fearful when they were apart. Her friends and family had noiced the changes but Kagome made excuse after excuse for Naraku. She was protecting them even if she couldn't save herself she would save her loved ones.

"Gome" Inuyasha called to her.

Kagome's attention quickly dropped to the ground as Inuyasha's converse came into her sight. Over the three months she had began to know her friends through their shoes even knew people she could see through their shoes what kinda person they were Inuyasha always wore red shoes, he was angry but the white laces showed kindness and purity his shoes were worn like him he had a tough life and his shoes sold him out on his secrets.

"Gome please look at me" Inu begged. kagome shook her head in the negative. "Can you talk?" Kagome shook her head, today she wore a scarf in july to hide the brusing on her neck. It hurt to swallow but even if her airway was clear she still wouldnt be able to talk with cracking up at the pain in her friends voice.

"Gome Sess is back from the states we are throwing him a party tonight at my place...please come there'll be food and stuff" Inu said as he noticed how thin his friend had gotten since she began dating that bastard Naraku.

"..Oni" Kagome began.

"Fuck him Kags" Inuyasha yelled as Kagome flinched back in fear he almost lost it, did she think he would hit her? "Kags you've been my sister longer than that bastards girl and your going to come to the party your family...no matter what"

"I'll try" Kagome managed to get out.

"Please Kags you know Sess would want to see you after so long" Inuyasha said "The party's at seven you don't have to change or anything just please come" He added as he ran down the shrine steps waving to his best friend. Kagome nodded to the wind as she went back into her shell and entered her house. Her neck cracked painfully as she popped out the kinks of constant bowing. She heard her sisters upstairs rummaging through their shared room, she smiled a soft sad smile as she joined them in a melancholy sort of calm as she watched them pick out cute outfits for the party. She had changed into a white turtle neck and gold slacks and flats, a golden necklace adorned her neck a heart that said Oni's engraved into the tiny trinket. She left her hair down in black tendrill curls, a gold bow pinned her bangs back. She had become so pale she favored the disney character snow white only she knew her prince charming had gotten lost on his quest to wake her up.

"No make up kags" Sango asked sadly.

"No" Kagome replied meekly.

"We can help you if you like" Kikyo said, making Kagome's heart stop did they know?

"Yeah Gome a little concealer and a very faint gold eye shadow will do you a world og good" Sango added.

"No thank you" Kagome said "Are you all ready to go?"

"Hai Hai" The sisters said in sync jinxing themselves.

"Lets go then" Kagome said, returning to her bowing position as they desended the stairs and got into their car and drove off to the Taisho estate.
