Change

Chapter 1

Kagome stopped the car in front of the building. She gripped her car wheel with her hands making her knuckles almost white, hearing the radio.

“So why you still with him?”

“He said he wanted to have kids, and so I said yes.”

“So what’s the problem?”

“He hasn’t come over for 2 months and barely see him, all he says is work, work-”

“Then he’s doing something shady!”

As Kagome raised her blue eyes up to the building she saw her boyfriend..... Kissing her twin sister Kikyo. Kagome froze as her breath became short. Kikyo grinned and kissed back. Why? Why was it always Kikyo? Mother chose Kikyo over Kagome for helping in the kitchen. Jii-chan picked Kikyo over her to take over the shrine. Kikyo never did as she said she wanted to be the responsible one to bring the money in, and they gave the shrine to Kagome as a second choice. Souta always wanted Kikyo’s help on soccer. It was always Kikyo. Never Kagome. She met Inuyasha in high school, and they became sweethearts. He saw her for her and not Kikyo. But not anymore. Rage consumed Kagome as she got out of the car, stomping out into the building. She ran up to her boyfriend, Inuyasha. 

“You are such a liar.” Her voice cracked. Inuyasha’s eyes went wide as he jumped away from an equally shocked Kikyo. 

“Hey, no, sorry-” He started to fumble around his words. 

“No, no, no! See this?” She brought his attention to a lockets with a small pink spear. She slapped it on the table with papers, and smacked his face with the paper in a fury.

“Woah!” He flinched as she walked away with a huff. A few tears came out. 

“Hey-come on-!” Inuyasha said and tried to block her from the door.

“No! Don’t touch me!” She yelled. All the office workers watched and smirked. 

“Hah! I knew you were gonna get bit in the ass.” A girl from a desk said. Kagome figured that Inuyasha had been doing this a lot. 

“Just for one second-”

“Don’t! I’m done!” Kagome said with a firm voice as she walked to the door.

“One second! It’s not what you think!” He yelled. She whipped her hair in his face and stormed out. 

“Oh really?” Kagome asked sarcastically. 

“Yes really! Come on let’s talk about this!”

She started to whimper, but held in the tears. She went back in the car. Kikyo looked at her from the window and smirked. How nice... She knew.... She started the car and drove off far away. It was always Kikyo and never her. She drove on for many miles till the evening. She was driving for so long it seemed her car needed some gas and stopped by a gas station. She picked up a drink, Covering her face with sunglasses, to not show her crying face. She was clearly not wanted. Either way from her family to her boyfriend. Kikyo always was greater. She took her friends, always have the best scores on tests, always better in sports. It was everything. Kagome bit her lip. Kikyo was the queen in school while Kagome was the geek with braces and glasses. Just in senior year she got those braces off and her glasses were replaced with contacts. It hurt so much. Her heart was finally broken to too many pieces. Like it would never be fixed. She paid for the gas and drink when her eyes caught a bulletin board. She saw a small bookmark poster. 

“ALL WOMEN WERE CREATED EQUALLY,” It started. Equally... Then why wasn’t Kikyo and Kagome equal? Was it because I was whiny? Kagome asked to herself. Well, Kagome started, I always wanted mama and papa's attention, before papa died in a battle. He was a marine officer.... Jii-chan always favored Kikyo.... Everyone followed.... Her blue eyes looked at the remaining words of the bookmark. “THEN SOME BECOME MARINES.” She blinked in shock... Papa... Was a marine..... He always brought me stuff.... Always played with me more.... Maybe it’s a time for change. She went to her car and drove to a near clothing shop, picking out some black baggy pants, some black high boots that went to the mid of her calves, and a green sweat shirt with a hood. She went back into the car and ripped a sheet of white clothe into bits. She went back to the gas station to the restroom with the duffle back. Locking the door and pulled out her clothes, her pink dress, with denim jacket, her shoes and dumped them in the duffle bag. She pulled off her bra and started to bind her DDs breast tight till she possibly can. She cried at the pain, but it wasn't as bad as her heart. She wanted to stop but she shook the thought off her head. 

This was her change. She too out a pair of kid scissors and started to cut her hair non to gently, making it short and boyish. She cried. They don’t want me, but I will become great! She snipped her hair, and cried more. Her Wavy black locks fell to the floor. I will be equal! She pulled off her earrings and glared at her face in the mirror. She wiped her lipstick and makeup. Her pale face looked in the mirror. She saw her sisters face. She scowled. No! I am Kagome! I will be recognized! 

She heard her phone ring and scowled seeing Inuyasha’s number flash through it. She took the phone and turned it off. She pulled on the baggy black pants and black boots. She tightened the laces. She pulled on her sweat shirt hoodie. She pulled up the hood looking at a girl with blue eyes, and a resolve look. She pulled the duffle bag out the restroom door, along and threw the clothes in a blue metal bin for the homeless. 

“I will.” She whispered. “I will make them understand...” She went into the car and started driving again.
