Chapter 1: Complicated

If anyone had told Kagome she was going to be a boy a year ago, she would have directed them to the psycho ward. But, sadly, that is exactly what she will have to become in two weeks. Kagome sighed. 'Why do the craziest things happen to me? Did I do something in the past life?' A week ago Kagome was seated in the family living room where her life would forever be changed.

~*Flashback*~

Kagome was walking home from school and it was not a good day. Kagome was "an avoid all conflict" type of girl. That left Kagome as an easy target for name calling and other forms of torture. Out of the entire high school, one bitch went out of her way to make Kagome's life a living hell. Kikyo was the classic barbie doll cheerleader and her clones followed her everywhere. Today, in particular, Kikyo decided it was through food at 'poor' Kagome day.

So there was Kagome walking home with food in her hair while people stared at her.  Her life was not easy in any shape or form. Her family was on the verge of being bankrupt and the only thing keeping their shrine standing was the little money she and her mother brought in from working late nights.

Kagome walked into her house to find her family sitting on the family couch. All three member turned to look at her when she walked in. Instantly, Kagome could tell something was wrong. Her grandfather looked ashamed that his eyes couldn't remain in contact with her. Mrs. Higurashi stared at Kagome with all the pain in the world reflected in her eyes. And Souta ran to Kagome crying immediately engulfing her in a hug. All the while, Kagome was still met with silence.

"What's going on? Why is Souta crying?"

Her mother gave her a quiet answer as if she talked any louder she would break. "Take a seat and I'll explain everything..."

Kagome cautiously approached her family while taking a seat. She turned and looked at her aged mother. A couple years ago, Kagome's father left never to be heard from again. In his wake, he left the family in over $250,000 in debt. With a mixture of heartbreak and betrayal, the years had written it's stories in her mother's skin. Once a youthful woman, Mrs. Higurashi now is nothing but an over worked machine.

"Kagome... you will pack your belongings and start attending The Shinobu Academy." Mrs. Higurashi waited for a response.

"What-Why?" Kagome was very confused. Why would she attend another high school?

"Kagome, you know that our family cannot afford it's expenses since...well since..." Mrs. Higurashi was having trouble getting past the lump of emotions in her throat. It was still a sore spot for her.

Kagome interrupted her train of thought when she saw tears well up in her mother's eyes. "Mom, I can drop out of school and get another job."

Immediately, Mrs. Higurashi's eyes widened. "No! You will continue your education!"

Kagome was at loss of words. "Kagome, you must go to the Shinobu Academy and excel in their end of the year academic competition. If you succeed, then you will be employed in Inu Inc. Your salary should cover the family's expenses and help pay our debt." Mrs. Higurashi's face told Kagome that was the least of her worries.

"Kagome, the Shinobu Academy is an all boys endurance school..." Kagome's eyes widened.

"How am I supposed to go to an all boys school?" Last time Kagome checked, she was a woman with a well endowed chest.

"Please Kagome. Listen to me. I will do everything in my power to help you pull off the look and succeed." Kagome had never seen her mother plead with her before. Kagome was suddenly very aware of the situation she was facing. Kagome glanced down at the aged hands that now held hers and then towards her grandfather and brother. Souta was too young and already he was feeling the stress of the world. His childhood was cut short when the family fell rock bottom. Her grandfather was going to an early grave at this rate. Too ashamed that he could no longer support the house hold, he confined himself to his room for most hours of the day. Kagome knew what she had to do for the sake of her family.

"Alright, I'll do it but don't academy's cost a lot of money?"

"Thank you, Kagome!" Mrs. Higurashi embraced her daughter in a hug. "The cost of the school can be deferred if you take the entrance exam and score a 28 out of 30." Tears started to fall from Mrs. Higurashi's eyes as she handed her daughter the pamphlet of the school and the registration for the exam. She felt like she was feeding her daughter to sharks.

" Kagome, you will live here but your appearance will be changed. We will tape your chest down and wrap your upper body to give the flat appearance. Your hair will be cut to fall no longer than your ears. Tonight, you will no longer be known as Kagome but as Kiyoshi."

That night Kagome was a transformed into a man. All her clothing was stored away and replaced with a couple of shirts and pants. Her room was stripped from anything remotely girlish and painted a forest green. Kagome didn't understand the reason behind it but her mother said she must "look and play the part."

All records of the former Kagome, were hidden or destroyed giving the appearance that she completely disappeared. Forged documents were created to give the appearance that the Higurashi family consisted of five family members instead of four. They couldn't completely destroy all evidence of Kagome's past so instead they made it seem that Kagome had a twin brother.

~*End of Flashback*~

In the next couple of weeks, Kagome studied her heart out and went to take the test. She was sitting in her room reading when a knock stirred her attention to the door. She found her mother standing in the door way with a large envelope. Inside Kagome found she had attained a full scholarship and that she would be starting school the following Monday.

And so Kagome began her new life as Kiyoshi. She had one purpose and one purpose only. She must save her family at all costs.
