Preview of Last Chapter: She huffed as she followed the Higurashi girl to their next class, hopefully it would be better than the first, but hey, anything's better than staying with her family, she'd put up with any of the crap this school could throw at her as long as she was able to keep her freedom from her old `home'.

Kagura groaned as they walked to the gymnasium, she hated gym, she hated the gym uniforms, but most of all she hated having to ware the gym uniform. The gym uniform this school issued for the girls was the traditional buruma and t-shirt (see bottom of page for full explanation).

She left the locker room her new `friend' tagging along explaining things as they walked further out and onto the track. “Sports for one reason or another are a big part of our school; I'm on the archery club. We also have a kendo club, track, cross country, tennis, basketball, baseball, and volleyball. Were you thinking of joining in any extracurricular activities?” Kagome gave a questioning look.

“Oh, well anyway,” Kagome continued to point out the athletes in the gym, most of them were most likely her friends or at least people she new well from the way her voice indicated when speaking about them, “That's Hogosha Sango she's the vice captain of our volleyball team.” She pointed to a girl with long dark brown hair and chocolate eyes she next indicated to a boy with silver hair, “That's Koeda Inuyasha; he's my boyfriend and the captain of the kendo club. The one with the dark blue eyes next to Sango is Samba Miroku; he is on the tennis team I think he made it to varsity this year.”

Kagura sighed, she really didn't care about all this, she sort of had to wonder where the teacher was, he or she was at least fifteen minutes late by now.

“That's Isamashii Kouga,” Kagura looked up to see a boy with bright blue eyes and long dark hair done up in a high ponytail, “He's on both the track team and the cross country club they say he's the fastest in the school. Over there is Koeda Sesshoumaru, he's Inuyasha's older brother and the gym teacher. He's pretty new and doesn't talk much, but when he does it isn't usually anything nice.”

The day dragged on and it seemed endless, that annoying Higurashi girl wouldn't leave her alone and even made her eat lunch with her. Honestly, she was glad the day was over. After going back to her apartment and changing for work Kagura headed down the street to her part time job. A bar waitress. Not a safe place but hey the drunks tip well.

“I'll take a quick frack.” That had to be the fourth billionth time some drunk man had made that joke…Sure it was a drink and one they sold, but did they have to give sly looks and chuckles when she said `coming right up'? How annoying.

She walked behind the counter and gave the list to the barkeep before leaving to greet a new customer, “Hello and how may I help you.” She was just glad her boss never made her smile while greeting and taking orders.

“frack Me Hard” That too was a drink they served and that too was a joke she often got. Her eye brow twitched slightly before widening at the face of the man. “Huh…aren't you that new girl…Shinesaina Kagura or something like that…”

“Clearly…” She looked to the clock and threw her apron off, her shift was done with and she wasn't about to serve her classmate before leaving, someone else could get him. “I'm out of here, call some else over if you still want that drink.” She began to walk away when she felt a calloused hand on her arm.

<b><i>Girl:</i></b><b><i> </i></b>The basic gym uniform for girls consists of a t-shirt and a buruma or bloomer. Let's start with the top. It can be let out loose or tucked into the buruma and it usually has a circular collar. You can change the collar though with a V-neck or the tennis-style collar with buttons if you really want something not-so-common. Often times when it gets colder they will be permitted to ware sweat pants and shirt or something close to a jogging suit.

Summary: Have you ever made a wish? Or rather have you ever wished to disappear or for another person to disappear? This is a tale of one girl whose only wish was to be free from the house she called home. Soon she will learn, however, that you should be careful what you wish for.

Preview of Last Chapter: She huffed as she followed the Higurashi girl to their next class, hopefully it would be better than the first, but hey, anything's better than staying with her family, she'd put up with any of the crap this school could throw at her as long as she was able to keep her freedom from her old `home'.

Kagura groaned as they walked to the gymnasium, she hated gym, she hated the gym uniforms, but most of all she hated having to ware the gym uniform. The gym uniform this school issued for the girls was the traditional buruma and t-shirt (see bottom of page for full explanation).

She left the locker room her new `friend' tagging along explaining things as they walked further out and onto the track. “Sports for one reason or another are a big part of our school; I'm on the archery club. We also have a kendo club, track, cross country, tennis, basketball, baseball, and volleyball. Were you thinking of joining in any extracurricular activities?” Kagome gave a questioning look.

“Oh, well anyway,” Kagome continued to point out the athletes in the gym, most of them were most likely her friends or at least people she new well from the way her voice indicated when speaking about them, “That's Hogosha Sango she's the vice captain of our volleyball team.” She pointed to a girl with long dark brown hair and chocolate eyes she next indicated to a boy with silver hair, “That's Koeda Inuyasha; he's my boyfriend and the captain of the kendo club. The one with the dark blue eyes next to Sango is Samba Miroku; he is on the tennis team I think he made it to varsity this year.”

Kagura sighed, she really didn't care about all this, she sort of had to wonder where the teacher was, he or she was at least fifteen minutes late by now.

“That's Isamashii Kouga,” Kagura looked up to see a boy with bright blue eyes and long dark hair done up in a high ponytail, “He's on both the track team and the cross country club they say he's the fastest in the school. Over there is Koeda Sesshoumaru, he's Inuyasha's older brother and the gym teacher. He's pretty new and doesn't talk much, but when he does it isn't usually anything nice.”

The day dragged on and it seemed endless, that annoying Higurashi girl wouldn't leave her alone and even made her eat lunch with her. Honestly, she was glad the day was over. After going back to her apartment and changing for work Kagura headed down the street to her part time job. A bar waitress. Not a safe place but hey the drunks tip well.

“I'll take a quick frack.” That had to be the fourth billionth time some drunk man had made that joke…Sure it was a drink and one they sold, but did they have to give sly looks and chuckles when she said `coming right up'? How annoying.

“frack Me Hard” That too was a drink they served and that too was a joke she often got. Her eye brow twitched slightly before widening at the face of the man. “Huh…aren't you that new girl…Shinesaina Kagura or something like that…”

“Clearly…” She looked to the clock and threw her apron off, her shift was done with and she wasn't about to serve her classmate before leaving, someone else could get him. “I'm out of here, call some else over if you still want that drink.” She began to walk away when she felt a calloused hand on her arm.

<b><i>Girl:</i></b><b><i> </i></b>The basic gym uniform for girls consists of a t-shirt and a buruma or bloomer. Let's start with the top. It can be let out loose or tucked into the buruma and it usually has a circular collar. You can change the collar though with a V-neck or the tennis-style collar with buttons if you really want something not-so-common. Often times when it gets colder they will be permitted to ware sweat pants and shirt or something close to a jogging suit.
