Chapter 1: A Fresh Start

My last glance of Inuyasha, no pictures for me to treasure, was something I shall never forget. Inuyasha, Shippo, Sango, Miroku, and I finally destroyed Naraku and the Shikon Jewel. We were going to celebrate but I was pulled into the well, shrouding me in the familiar blue glow.

"Inuyasha!" I cried out to him. He just stood there, too stunned to move.

Now that the Shikon Jewel was destroyed I had no reason to stay here I realized, no more Shippo, Miroku, or my best friend Sango. Or even Inuyasha…

"K-kagome…" He watched me, his beautiful honey glazed eyes gazed at me before I was sucked down into the well.

When I was back in my home, I cried and cried while my mom held onto me, comforting. Soon my mom and gramps found out I got expelled from my old middle school. Doesn't really matter since I'm going to high school I thought with a sigh. My summer flew by slowly as I could tell my family was very worried about me and my depression.

"I'm fine" I always told them unconvincingly whenever they asked if I needed anything.

One day as I was lying in bed, too engrossed in thinking about the feudal era to get out of my bed, my mom came in my room with exciting news.

"We got you into a high school" she smiled at me;

I shot her a puzzled look, who would want a very "sick" person in their school?

"It's called Ouran Academy and I think you'll like it there" she explained quickly "also, you'll be staying with your Uncle Shigure, it's better for transportation to Ouran Academy"

I cocked my head in confusion "Isn't Ouran Academy where rich people go to?" I asked

She laughed nervously as I turned suspicious.

"Well… your father is actually paying for you to go to Ouran Academy, he insists that you stay at his house, you don't have to if you don't want to" she added quickly.

I snapped out of my depressed state and became very interested "I knew it, dad is really rich…"

She shrugged "Here's the address for his mansion house" she gave me a slip of paper that felt soft to touch "I think its better if you get away from here a bit" I nodded in understanding.

School starts tomorrow I realized and packed my bags quickly. My mother handed me another slip of paper, she briefly explained it was her father's number. I said my goodbyes to Souta and Gramps as I walked to my new home. I looked at the paper and felt relieved; it wasn't that far away…

"Kagome!" her mother called her, I looked behind her to see her holding car keys.

During the trip to my father's house I took my cell and dialed his number.

"Hello? May I ask who's speaking?" said a young, friendly voice asked.

I was stunned for a moment thinking did I dial the wrong number?

"This is Kagome Higurashi" I said nervously

Silence filled the phone and I thought we got disconnected.

"He-" I was about to say hello but was cut off with a "MY BABY GIRL IS HERE!"

We arrived at this massive mansion, like a castle I remarked, dazzled at the beauty of the house. Right when I was about to knock on my door a man opened the door and embraced me in a bear hug.

"I missed you kiddo" he said, his voice muffled in my hair.

I looked behind me and saw my mom left my bag by the door, I guess she didn't want to stay I thought a little steamed.

"Dad?" I croaked out "can't… breathe…" I chocked out and he gave a hearty laugh. letting go of me.

I picked up my bag and stared at him, he had wavy short hair with aftershave on his face, and I have his eyes I thought randomly.

"Come on in girl; want to look around this place? HEY KYOYA!" he called out before I could answer.

I felt welcomed in here, a smile tugged at the corner of my lips. I looked and saw a boy, about my age, coming toward my dad. He had a confident look carved into his face; he was also wearing glasses that matched his straight hair. He was carrying a notebook that had many numbers in it I observed.

"Yes?" he said then looked at me and we stood still as a statue, staring at each other.

He looked exactly like me! I exclaimed silently to myself then suddenly thought of Kikyo. But he's not a girl I corrected myself. He's like a guy version of me or I'm the girl version of him I thought dazed.

"Meet your long lost twin sister Kagome" Mitsuo, her father's name, said brightly.

"TWIN?!" Me and Kyoya exclaimed.

Mitsuo explained that when him and Mana, my mom, divorced he took Kyoya and Mana took Kagome. I shook my head in disbelief, I have a twin…

"Why didn't you tell me?" Kyoya demanded him.

"you need to show Kagome around and I already set her up a room, she's going to be attending Ouran Academy so explain where her classes are and what not…" his voice fading as he retreated into a room.

Kyoya shook his head then looked at me.

"I didn't get to introduce myself, I'm Higurashi Kyoya" he said, extending his hand out.

He's so formal, not much like Mitsuo. Kyoya showed me around the house and where all the rooms and which room was which. There were a total of, at least, 11 rooms! I even get to have my own bathroom.

I felt oddly comfortable around Kyoya as we walked around in peaceful silence. His phone began to vibrate and he took his call.

"What is it?" he asked a little harshly.

I looked at him as I saw his expression turned irritated then slightly amused.

"Not to interrupt your delusion but, Haruhi is currently in Karuizawa" he said in a lazy voice.

Haruhi? Karuizawa? What? I looked curiously at Kyoya, I wonder who Haruhi is. After a moment of silence from Kyoya he said "moron" then hung up the phone and sighed.

"What was that all about?" I asked.

He looked at me and I could tell he was thinking hard.

"How would you like to come on a quick visit with me?" he asked cautiously

I nodded eagerly, not even asking where we were going. I have a feeling I'm going to really like my twin, Kyoya.
