Much Too Young
Everywhere I look around I see how everything
ought to be

Every time I see myself there's always something wrong with me- Linkin Park
"Part of Me"

Bony
fingertips touched the smooth glass of the window as blue eyes stared out at
the white blanket that covered the cold, hard ground of the world outside her
room. Snowflakes floated alongside the window creating a type of wintry
fairyland. Children played across the street in their front yard as their
parents chatted together, but at the same time had a watchful eye on their
children. Her bedroom lights cast off the window causing her face to reflect
off of it. Those blue eyes of hers showed with a type of sorrow that one could
never escape, jealousy, and a longing to be free of her torment and roam wherever
she may wish. She looked once more at the carefree children who were now
playing some kind of tag. She remembered what it was like to be carefree, to
not have to worry about what she would eat for dinner or if hewas going
to come.
Drawing the
string, she slowly let the blinds descend to their resting place. A lone tear
slid down her cheek just as the front door to the house slammed open. Angry
footsteps could be heard coming up the stairs. With eyes wide open and her
breathing labored, she quickly and as quietly as possible climbed onto her bed
and under the warm covers that seemed to welcome her with open arms. The
footsteps stopped at the door of her room and she struggled not to whimper as
fear overtook her. The doorknob rattled a bit before she and the person outside
her door realized that it was locked. Heaving a sigh of relief as the person on
the other side moved away, she snuggled further into the purple cotton sheets
and white bedcover. Reaching over to her nightstand, she turned off the lights
and succumbed to a nightmare filled sleep.

"You
stupid little brat! You're a mistake that was brought upon this earth to make
all of our lives hell."
"Daddy,
no! I promise I'll be good. I promise!"
"Too late
for that, you little shit. You know the consequences of disobeying me. Now
you'll be punished!"
A resonating slap
was heard through out the house, followed be thump of a heavy object
falling to the ground. The little girl, no older than six, lay limp on the
family's pristine white carpet. The last thing she saw before she welcomed the
dark abyss was the angry dark brown eyes of her father as he descended on her.
----------End----------
Kagome woke up
in a cold sweat, her body shaking uncontrollably. If her mother hadn't come
home from work early that night, then she would have been� Looking at the clock
on the wall she realized that it was time to get up and get ready for school.
Climbing out of her warm bed, Kagome took a shower and put on worn old blue
jeans that were faded in some spots, and a long-sleeve red shirt. Brushing her
hair to the side of her head to cover up any burses that still might be
visible, Kagome quietly headed down stairs.
Reaching the
entryway, she slipped on her gray hoddie, and then put her worn jean jacket on
over that. Putting on her tennis shoes and slinging her black book bag over her
shoulder, Kagome opened the front door and walked outside into the snow.
"Damn it!
I'm already late." Gaining a boost of energy, Kagome sprinted toward her
new high school (I don't know the name). Opening the doors to the school, she
couldn't help but shudder in delight as warm air hit her in the face. Walking
fast toward the office, Kagome noticed there was yelling coming from one of the
classrooms. 'Okay� weird,' she thought silently to herself. Sighing, she looked
at the woman behind the counter who was busy scribbling something down.
"Excuse
me, miss. I'm new here and I need my schedule. Also, I need my uniform."
The woman looked at the annoyed teen who was currently tapping her foot
impatiently on the tiled floor.
"Name?"
the woman asked in a dull drawl. She looked middle-aged as her dark brown hair
was showing a couple gray streaks in it. Her green eyes showed with a hidden
emotion. To Kagome it seemed that the woman didn't like her job much.
"Kagome
A. Higurashi. I'm second year."
Nodding, the
woman started typing something into the computer next to her. When she was
finished she handed Kagome her schedule. "I'm sorry to say that at this
moment we don't have anymore girl's uniforms. Will it be alright with you,
Higurashi-san, if you wear a boy's uniform?"
At that moment
Kagome couldn't possibly thank her lucky stars enough. She hated wearing
skirts, well the short ones at least, and since she was going to wear a guy's
uniform it would hide all of the burses and scrapes. "Oh, that's all
right. I think I'll manage." The woman took her size and gave her the
uniform (A/N same kind as the ones in Fruits Basket). Taking the uniform,
Kagome headed for the bathrooms to change. When she opened the door she
instantly noted that she wasn't alone. Quickly going into a vacant stall to
change Kagome couldn't help but overhear to conversation.
"We must
get that Tohru Honda away from Prince Yuki."
"Yes,
yes, we must at all cost."
"Tohru
Honda is a good for nothing little� She is stealing Prince Yuki from not only
us but also everyone else. I can't believe that our great and beautiful prince
is easily falling for her evil charms."
"How
would we get rid of her?"
"Easy
we�"
At that moment
Kagome decided she had enough of these girls and their rude comments. Stepping
out of the stall, she decided to make her presence known. Putting her hands in
the front pockets of her pants she spoke.
"You do
know how rude it is to talk about someone behind their back. If
you have something to say to her, why not tell her face-to-face instead of
being cowards and hiding in here. If she has you this scared, then maybe I
should meet this Tohru Honda." The last part was said quietly to herself.
Looking at the stunned faces of the three girls she had to suppress a laugh.
"Close
your mouths or you'll be catching more than flies." The girls clamped
their mouths shut and ran out of the bathroom. Smirking, Kagome also made her way
out of the bathroom and to her next class. Looking at her schedule she couldn't
help but groan. 'Classroom 1-D, huh? Great. Not!' Stopping at her
first period class, Kagome slowly slid the door open. Two words described the
classroom at that moment: uncomfortable silence. Stepping into the room and
sliding the door shut Kagome made her way to the teacher. He was an aged man
with thin hair and a bald spot on top of his scalp.
"Class,"
he said in a strong voice that slightly surprised Kagome, "this is our new
transfer student. Her name is Kagome Higurashi. Please make her feel welcomed.
Why don't you say anything about yourself, Higurashi-san?" The teacher
smiled kindly at Kagome, and for a brief second he reminded her of on of those
old perverts you see on television every once in awhile.
"With all
do respect Sensei, I don't feel like discussing my personal life with
strangers." She looked at her classmates and saw that the three girls she
confronted in the bathroom earlier were just a few feet away from where she was
standing. Smirking at their terrified and shocked faces, Kagome turned her
attention to the teacher.
"Very
well, if that's what you wish." He looked slightly dejected but the smile
was still on his face. "Let's see where to put you, hmm." His fingers
lightly stroked his chin as he contemplated where to put his new student.
Scanning the room with his eyes he finally came to a decision.
"Hanajima-san
please raise your hand." Kagome looked at the girl who currently had her
hand raised. She had long, wavy black hair and pretty dark brown eyes.
"Higurashi-san you'll be sitting next to Hanajima-san," said the
teacher. Walking over to her seat, Kagome caught sight of orange hair. 'Who in
the world would dye their hair orange?' She set her book bag on the ground and
took a seat trying to ignore all the looks she was getting. 'Probably the
uniform', she thought amused and slightly angry that she was getting this much
attention. If it was one thing Kagome hated that was worse than her father it
was attention. For Kagome, getting too much attention was never a good thing.
Quickly
becoming bored with the teacher's lecture, Kagome took out a sketchbook, a
pencil, and an eraser and started to draw (A/N I know nothing about art. I'm
artistically challenged and currently I'm majoring in the art of stick
figures). Soon enough the bell had rang for break to start. Everyone scrambled
out of the classroom except for Kagome and five other teens. As Kagome was
still drawing the others began a conversation a short distance away.
"That
girl, the transfer student, has very sad waves."
"What do
you mean, Hana-chan?" Asked Uotani. Their eyes fell on their best friend
as she made her way towards Kagome. "It's like her soul is in
torment." Yuki and Kyo came over to where the two girl's sat and also
observed the conversation. It was amazing to all them how Tohru could easily
find the best in people and make them her friend. Perhaps it was also her
carefree attitude that attracted so many people as well. However, her life was
anything but carefree. "Our precious Tohru. She is truly a selfless
person."
Kagome looked
up from her drawing as a girl with brown hair and blue-green eyes walked
towards her. 'Oh God, I just want to be left alone. Why can't anyone see that?'
"Hey there Higurashi-san! It's so wonderful that you're in the same class
as my friends and I. My name is Tohru Honda." Tohru held her hand out for
Kagome to shake. Tentatively, Kagome clasped her hand with the preppy girl's
own hand. 'This is Tohru Honda? THE Tohru Honda those freakish girl's were
talking about in the bathroom? Hmm, life keeps getting stranger and stranger.'
"Nice to meet you, Honda-san. I must say that you certainly attract all
kinds of attention�" She looked over Tohru's shoulder to see Tohru's
friends looking at her�"Both good and, well, bad." Looking back at
Tohru, whose face was beat red from embarrassment, Kagome looked deeply into
her eyes. There was a hidden sorrow that wasn't too common in one so young.
'She's just like me. Well, not quite like me but still. She has suffered life's
harsh lessons way too early just as I have. And yet, she is different. It's
like she sees things from the glass half-full perspective.' Tohru,
becoming a little too uncomfortable with Kagome's intense stare, decided to speak.
"Oh,
forgive me. These are my friends." Tohru looked behind her and motioned
everyone over. "This is Uo-chan, Hana-chan, Yuki-kun, and Kyo-kun. Guys,
this is Higurashi-san." Getting numerous hellos and a snort from Kyo-kun,
Kagome stood up from her seat and bowed a bit in respect.
"So, what
brings you to this school, Higurashi-san?" asked Yuki. There was something
about this girl that he couldn't quite place. "Oh well, I've just recently
moved after my mum passed away. I was never taught in a public school, because
I used to be home schooled." A sad look was in everyone's eyes and Kagome
vaguely wondered if she said the wrong thing. Shrugging it off, she was about
to say something else when the bell rang for class to begin again. As the
teacher walked back into the classroom, everyone took their seats.
Tohru looked
back at Kagome, who was currently drawing in her sketchpad.
'She's lost
someone important to her too.'
