CH.8: A TURN FOR THE BETTER

Kagome burst into her room and cried her heart out. She'd been publicly humiliated, now it would fallow her for the rest of her life.

"Kagome." Misuki called from behind to door.

"Go away!" She yelled

"But Kagome, you got a letter from Princeton." Misuki opened the door and walk in.

Kagome looked at the letter. "I didn't get in. I can't believe I actually thought I had a chance." Kagome sobbed. This was the worst day EVER.

"Well there is good news, you'll have a job at the diner for the rest of your life." Misuki smiled and left the room. Kagome tore the paper up in frustration and continued to sob. She was going through her old stuff and found her dad's fairytale book.

( In these eyes)

Fairy tales were nothing. Nothing but cold-hearted lies.

( More then words, more then)

In anger, she trough the book to the wall.

( Anything that I've spoken)

Minutes before his death, Kagome's dad said that book contained something imported.

( As the skies)

That was a lie too.

( Turn to gray, my heart's)

The next day, Kagome was snubed, hit, insulted, yelled at, you name it.

( Just about to crack open)

Once again, Sango and Ayame were her only friends.

( So the story goes)

The next Saturday, Kagome was at the dinner.

(there's something you should know)

"Kagome, what're you doing?" Ayame asked.

(Before I walk away and I blow the ending)

"My job." Kagome said.

"I mean ' What are you doing with your life?'"

"I'm a Diner Girl."

"Me and Sango love you like a little sister and have faith in you."

Yuki came in and slammed the door, causing some wallpaper to come off. Kagome saw the fractures of words. They were the phrase that Kagome's dad always told her. It said 'When it comes to dreams, knowone's stopping you but you."

Misuki walked in to see the peeled wallpaper. "Kagome, that's coming out of your paycheck, and you need to clean the pool tonight."

"No!"

"What?" Misuki and the girls looked back.

"I quit. I quit this job, your family, and I'm moving out." Kagome said.

"Where you gonna live?"

"With me." Ayame said.

"You take one more step and you're fired."

"No need, I quit too." The two girls walked out of the dinner. Within an minute, all the employees and customers were gone.

That night, the school held a huge soccer game. Inuyasha played pretty good, until he saw Kagome.

"Sorry guys." Inuyasha said and told Miroku it was all up to him now. They only needed one goal to win.

Kagome was going home, it was to painful to watch the game any more. Inuyasha and Kagome met face to face.

"Kagome, I..."

"What are you doing?"

"Something I should have done a long time ago." Inuyasha said and kissed her.

After registering what just happened, the two sank into another kiss. On the field, Miroku scored the winning goal. They one.

Kagome's Voice Over

So I got my price, after that, everything fell into place. My dad was right, the fairytale book did contain something important.

No VO

"I can pay those tickets." Misuki said, running up to her car witch was being toed away.

"I'm selling the cars for collage money."

"What gives you the idea you can sell our cars?"

"I own them." Kagome said.

"Have you ever seen this before." A cop said holding up Mr. Higurashi's will..

"No."

"Isn't that your signature on the wittiness line."

Kagome's Voice Over

That will stated that the house, the diner, and everything was mine. Misuki and the girls were jailed for child neglect, child abuse, lying to an officer and disregarding a legal document.

My dad's Diner was restored to it's former glory. Yuki and Yumi got out to work at the diner. After all, Misuki was the real trouble. Inuyasha and me went to Princeton together. Ayame is now engaged to this one guy, Koga. Because he scored the winning goal, Miroku finally redeemed himself in Sango's eyes. And we are all currently living happily ever after Still, wonder were we'll all be in five years. Hey, I'm only a freshmen!
