Chapter 1- Hook Me Up

[color=#FF6600]I'm tired of my life

I feel so in between

I'm sick of all my friends

Girls can be so mean

I feel like throwing out

Everything I wear

Starting over new

Cause I'm not even there[/color]

I heard the beeping of my alarm go off. I smacked it down, before pulling myself from my bed. I pulled out my cell phone to see what, text messages I had received during the night. I had only one message and it was from my 'best friend' Ayame.

[color=#FF0000]Hey Gome!

I Saw Kikyo && Inuyasha Together Again Last Night, @ The F.C.

Don't Be Mad @ Her U Kno Its Not Serious.

Don't Break Up W/Him ... You Need Him.

I Love You.

-Ayame[/color]

I looked at the message and frowned. How could I not break up with him? I had been postponing breaking up with him for two months now because supposedly ' I needed him' but the longer I waited the more I began to realize that I didn't need him, or her, or anybody else in 'my' circle of 'friends'. If you could call them that, I mean what friend messed around with your boyfriend behind your back. and what best friend told you not to be mad and not to break up with him because you needed him. If I needed him as she said, that would make it seem like I was some kind of addict. Which I knew I wasn't.

I strutted over to my closet, and opened it, and I was disgusted at what I saw. Pink! Pink! And more pink! I didn't even like pink, but when I started dating Inuyasha my freshmen year, I had unintentionally joined his group of friends meaning I had to fit in with them. I searched through all of my clothes hoping to find anything that wasn't pink, and when I didn't succeed I wanted to scream.

WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO ALL OF 'MY' CLOTHES! However, once I asked that question, my mind produced a memory to remind me of what happened to him.

"Okay Kagome, since your dating Inu now you have got to drop a few pounds, and lose all of these other colors. All we were in our clique is pink, meaning all of your clothes have to be thrown out and given to the needy, and we will have to buy you new ones." My new, 'best friend' Kikyo said while throwing my clothes in a black trash bag. I looked at her and smiled.

"Anything for Inuyasha" was my reply as I began to help her throw away my clothes.

My mom had been pissed when she found out that she had to buy me an entire new wardrobe, but eventually she got over it.

"Damnit Kagome you were such an idiot!" I said to myself, banging my head against the wall.

"Kagome are you up?" asked, my mother from the other side of my closed door.

"Yes Mom I'm up, just looking for something to wear"

"Okay, well breakfast will be ready in thirty minutes. Don't be late"

"Yes Ma'am"

I looked at my closet and sigh; today was going to be a horrible day.

[color=#FF6600]Sometimes...

I wanna get away some place

But I don't want to stay too long

Sometimes

I want a brand new day

Trying to fit in where I don't belong[/color]

I walked into school, with a frown upon my face. After this morning's fiasco with all the pink in my closet, I had finally found something suitable to wear. I had on a pair of flared, blue jeans, with a pink tank top and a white button up over it. I still had on pink but at least it was something I found bearable to wear. As soon as I entered school, I could feel the dark cloud over my head only getting darker. I really was in need of a vacation.

'How much longer until school was out'

And when I looked up, I saw the senior and junior countdowns; only two more weeks. I smiled, thanking Kami for giving me a countdown window. I turned towards my right, and headed towards the junior lockers. I really didn't want to see my 'friends' but I knew that they would be waiting on me and if I went to hide, they would find me regardless. It was like they had a Kagome radar or something. I allowed my legs to carry me towards my destination, while I thought about somewhere I would rather be then here.

'Europe is beautiful during the summer. Only I don't know anyone in Europe. America was also pretty during the summer, and I had an Aunt and a Cousin out there. Maybe I could ask mom if I could go to get away.'

"HELLO KAGOME!" I jumped and looked at Ayame who was waving her hands in my face, making me dizzy.

"Mae, please stop doing that you're making my sick," I stated, while taking a seat on the floor in front of my locker.

"Well I have been calling your name since, you stepped over here and you were ignoring me." She replied in a whinnying voice. That I just realized was annoying as hell.

'I was ignoring you, because for some reason I find you annoying' was what I wanted to say, but instead, I allowed. "It's okay, I'm sorry; I have a lot on my mind." To fall from my lips, I flashed a fake smile, and signaled for her to take a seat next to me.

"Oh Ok, so did you get my text message last night?"

"Yes,"

"Is that what's on your mind? You know Inu, loves you but you're not giving it up so of course he's going after Kikyo. She has sex with anything that has a penis." I looked at her and rolled, my eyes. How in the hell could she justify Inuyasha cheating on me? She would throw a fit if she found out Kouga was cheating on her, and she wasn't putting out either. We had both had taken a vow, to never have sex until we were married or at least out of high school. I was holding up my side of the deal, now I wonder if she was holding up hers.

"Gome-Chan don't be mad at me, you know Inu loves you he is just like every other boy walking around with sex on his mind" I looked at her again, and I was about to reply when I spotted Inuyasha and Kikyo down the hall. They weren't walking hand and hand but they might as well been, because from here, it looked like they were a couple. And if I wasn't dating Inuyasha, I would have thought he was cheating on me.

Oh wait he was ...

"Speak of the devil," I muttered to myself, standing up and getting ready, to play the best girlfriend I could. I could hear the movie person announcing my performance to the world, "IN YOU BEST PERFORMANCE YET, KAGOME FAKING BEING HAPPY WITH HER CHEATING BOYFRIEND!"

I giggled at my silliness, and strutted towards Inuyasha.

"Hey babe" He said pulling me into a hug, and giving me a passionate, kiss, or at least it was passionate for him.

"Damn that was an amazing kiss. What was it for?" I said after we pulled away. I smiled at him and grabbed his hand, pulling him towards my locker.

"What I can't give my amazing girlfriend an amazing kiss?" He replied, giving me the puppy dog stare, as if I had really hurt his boyfriend. I giggled and just smiled, because I knew if I opened my mouth to say anything. I would most likely say a few not so nice words.

"Hey Kiki how was your weekend?"I said, giving her a small hug and a kiss on the cheek.

"It was good, I had fun, did some shopping how about yours?" She replied, sending an unnoticeable, yet noticeable look to Inuyasha. I tensed and had the urge to smack her in the face.

"It was good, I worked, spent time with the family." I replied controlling my anger. Inuyasha who I'm guessing felt me tense, pulled me into another mind-dulling kiss.

[color=#FF6600]Hook... Hook me up

I wanna feel the rain in my hair

Hook... Hook me up

Where should we go?

I don't even care

Anywhere is good enough

Hook me up

Ayame sensed the tension in the air and decided to come up with a topic.

"Guys, can you believe that we're almost seniors?! So what are everyone plans for the summer?"

"I'm going to Hong Kong to stay with my cousins" Kikyo replied.

"I'm staying here to train. With the ice prince moving out, dad is going to be on me harder than normal," Inuyasha said, with dread in his voice.

"Kagome what are you going to be doing?"

"I'm thinking about going to America to stay with my Aunt and my cousin Kimiko. Moms been pestering about me going, and I think it might be a good idea. I here America is beautiful this time of the year."

"Kagome I didn't know you had family in America"

"Yeah there on my dad's side. And after dad passed away we kinda lost contact, but Kimiko has been calling, asking my mom to ask me if I want to come down."

"That's cool, so Inu it seems like you're the only one staying In Tokyo this summer, I'm going to Kyoto to stay with my grandfather. I haven't seen him in forever and I miss him dearly."

"Keh, I'll be okay by myself. I don't need you wenches to keep me company."

"Hmm whatever Inuyasha, You're going to die without Kagome" Kikyo pointed-out, and if i hadn't of known any better, I would have thought she was on side.

Too, bad she was just another two-faced, boyfriend stealing, whore!

.::::::::::::.

[color=#FF6600]I like the lights turned out

The sound of closing doors

I'm not like other girls who always feel so sure

Of everything they are

Of what they're gonna be

Sometimes I'm just a girl who's stuck inside of me

Of me[/color]

The day went by quickly for me, and I tried to avoid Inuyasha, Kikyo, Ayame and the others as much as possible. I really just wanted to be alone, because being around them only made me question if I was ready to change and become the new me. I knew I could do it, but it was still a scary thing. I walked out of school into the empty junior parking lot hoping nobody I knew spotted me.

"Kagome!" I heard, my name yelled from behind me.

'Shit!' I turned around to find Inuyasha running towards me.

"Hey baby," I said smiling, trying to hide my inner turmoil.

"Hey you weren't going to leave without giving me a goodbye kiss were you?"

"No, of course not! I just didn't see you, and I couldn't stay behind for too long. You know I have work" Making up a quick excuse to save my ass.

"I know, I'm sorry, it seems like you and I haven't spent any time together today" He replied grabbing a hold of my hands, while pulling me towards him.

"It's okay Inu, I know your busy and all" I tucked myself into the corner of his neck, and took a whiff of his cologne. Something was off about it. It smelt oddly, feminine.

"But I'm never too busy for you"

"I know"

"But I guess you should be going, and Kikyo is waiting on me to take her home. Call me when you get off" He gave me a peck on the lips before letting me go and walking away. I stood there almost in tears.

No wonder he smelled oddly feminine, he had been with Kikyo.

[color=#FF6600]Sometimes

I want to disappear some place

But I don't want to stay too long

Sometimes

I'm feeling so alone

Trying to fit in where I don't belong[/color]

I watched him disappear into the crowd, before turning around and heading towards my car. I unlocked the door, got in and cranked it up. I pulled out of the parking lot, and just drove. I felt my phone vibrating in my pocket. I opened it up and read the text message.

[color=#FF0000]"Hey Kagome, we're not going to need you to come in today. It's been a really slow day. I'll try to call you late on tonight. I love you little sis."

-Big sis[/color]

I looked at the phone and sat it back down. I didn't need to go to work, but I didn't want to go home. Inuyasha was probably busy with Kikyo. I didn't want to spend time with any of my 'friends'. And in that moment I realized that I was alone. I tried not to focus on the empty feeling I was getting and continued towards my unknown destination.

[color=#FF6600]Hook... Hook me up

I parked my car, and got out. I took of my shoes, threw them into the passenger seat before opening my door, and looked at the beach. It was so beautiful during this time of the year. I rolled up my jeans, before I started to walk towards the shore. I loved the feel of the sand underneath my toes. I stopped once I hit the shore and allowed the water to rise and hit my feet. I looked out towards the blue abyss and finally allowed my tears the fall.

[color=#FF6600]They're going to crash and burn

I'm going to find a way

Nothing left to say[/color]

I didn't cry because of Inuyasha.

I didn't cry because of Kikyo.

I didn't cry because of Ayame and the others.

I cried, because I was alone, and I was the one to blame for it.

I had changed and not for the better, but that was all going to change, once school ended.

I was taking back my independence and I was getting rid of the Kagome they had made.

I wasn't going to say a word I was just going to go and do it.

They would feel my pain when I came back different.

The next two weeks flew by with ease. I continued to act as if I was in love and happy with Inuyasha, and that I didn't know about his cheating and it seemed as though I was doing a good job. Ayame had even congratulated me for not blowing up at the pair of them. I had talked to my mom about going to America, and she seemed okay with it. So while I boarded my plane I gave my mom a dazzling smile, all the while thinking about what was to come.
