Never Too Late - Three Days Grace 3:29
Jehnna threw her books down on her bed after another hellish day of school.
Its been the same way since her powers manifested themselves at a football game. Everyone looked at her like she was a freak of nature.
They called her names, horrid names. At her! Popular and pretty Jehnna.
Even the "outcasts" of her social circle didn't want to have anything to with her. They spat at her threw their disgusting lunches at her.
Standing in front of the mirror with a box of black hair coloring and tears running down her face, she mixed the contents together and squeezed the mess on her hair leaving two blond streaks at the front. Those she was saving for another color.
After depositing another box of black hair color on her very long tresses she took the remaining colorant and squeezed a little in her hand and then did the unthinkable to her pretty room. She smeared it on the wallpaper, the bedding, the frame itself, on her dolls and clothing.
Panting and sobbing now she melted to the floor crying her eyes out and screamed her agony to the world. Downstairs her parents cringed at the sound of breaking glass.
When she was done with her hair, gone were the golden tresses and in its place was black with two pieces of purple and in her eyes there was no trace of the old Jehnna.
She was gone forever and in her place was someone much more cynical.

Hikari - Utada Hikaru 5:03
It was the night of the senior prom. And everything was perfect. Her dress sparkled a gorgeous blue with sequince dotted about for effect.
She twirled in front of her full length mirror to check everything and sighed happily.
Inuyasha would be meeting her at the gym, he said he had a surprise for her. She couldn't wait to get there, He said he had something to give her.
As soon as Mrs. Higurashi dropped her off at the double doors Kagome made a beeline for their designated spot. However when she got there she got the nastiest shock of her life.
Kikyo and Inuyasha were locked in a passionate embrace. Kagome dropped the carnation she had for his black tuxedo.
"Inuyasha," said Kagome in a whisper. The sound traveled well as the music just started.
Kikyo broke the kiss and turned to smirk at the stunned girl with the bright red flower in her hand.
"Go away Kagome, Inuyasha is my boyfriend now," she said with malicious glee sparkling in her eye.
"No Kagome, that's not true," protested Inuyasha.
"Then why were you kissing her," she said with a quavering voice.
"It was just supposed to be something friendly, not like what you saw," he said earnestly as he reached for her, brushing past a still smirking Kikyo.
"LIAR," she screamed, tears running down her face. In a twirl of skirts she ran back out the doors, and not paying attention to where she was running, ran out in front of an approaching limo.
The driver couldn't stop in time, and Kagome never saw what hit her. After being struck she flw up on the hood and smashed into the windshield. It was over so quickly. And she never felt any pain.
At least that is what the EMT's said as they consoled her mother.
And Kikyo never stopped smiling.

Who Wants to Live Forever - Queen 4:56
Sesshoumaru stared at her grave emotionlessly.
Her time finally came after 58 years of life and the Tensegia couldn't stop her death this time. He couldn't bring her back like last time. She was gone. His whole world now darkened with her passing into the afterlife.
He searched tirelessly for a way to keep her young and beautiful for as long as he lived.
He can admit it now.
He loved her with all his heart. No matter what others had thought of him, his heart was not cold to her.
He had to watch his Rin get older and closer to death with each passing year. And the sad thing was, she never stopped following him or stopped smiling at him. No matter where they went, she was always by his side except these last eight.
So he built his love a home, hopping she would stay there. But she didn't. She still followed and still smiled, even up to her death.
He was so alone now. Even Jakken had been killed again. He cursed the fact that Tensegia could only save someone once. He cured having it at all. He wouldn't be in so much agony now if had saved her life as a child.
No, he should have saved himself this future pain and let her go and be with the rest of her family when she was still a child.
Turning away from the simple headstone in the house he had built for her he strode off into the morning sunlight that dappled the ground at her feet. He will never forget the smile on her face when she first saw it.
Nor would he ever forget the smile she gave him when they first met. Her a small child and him a wounded demon.
No he would never forget her.
Not ever. Not his precious Rin.

Everybody's Fool - Evanescence 3:15
Kagome wandered around in the dark for what seemed like hours.
She was trying to find the camping spot they had picked out.
"Damn! This why I hate playing tag in the fucking dark," she harrumped as she sat on a damp log. With a squeal that indicated that said the log wasn't dry after all.
After brushing her shorts off she started wandering around again trying to find someone that can help her back to camp.
Almost immdediately she heard some rustling and some throaty moaning.
'Someone must be hurt,' she thought as she picked her way through the under brush and to the source of the moans.
"Is everyone al-," she stopped in horrified midsentence.
Kikyo and Inuyasha were wrapped around each other tighter than two snakes mating, their clothes strewn about in a haphazard fashion.
Kagome was stunned. Then she was pissed. She blindly picked up what was next to her. It happened to be a stout three foot stick.
With silent feet she went to stand over the frenzied couple. Raising her makeshift weapon above her head she swung it down with a terrible skull cracking force.
Inuyasha reared up in pain and confusion, still buried in Kikyo's body. With another mighty swing Kagome hit him across the face.
By this time Kikyo was screaming her head off. Kagome lashed out with her foot and caught her in the face, breaking the cheekbone.
"I AM NOT YOUR FOOL ANYMORE!"

Gone Forever - Three Days Grace 3:41
Jehnna couldn't understand it.
How could this happen?
She didn't understad why everyone hated her when yesterday she was the most popular girl in school. She didn't plan on this "mutant" thing.
She looked at herself. Beautiful skin, long blonde hair, emerald green eyes. Best GPA in school.
Standing in the middle of the hallway she watched as her now former boyfriend walk away with his arms wrapped around her supposed best friend who just kicked her off the cheerleading squad.
"Sorry Jen," said Taylor in an insincere manner. "But we don't want a freak like you on our squad."
"But you can't do that," she protested heatedly.
"Yes we can," she said smugly. "I've already asked the principal and he agrees with me."
"Bullshit," cursed the normally mild-mannered teen.
"Oh, its not," she sneered.
It dawned on her finally. "You were never my friend, were you."
"God Jehnna, how can it take you so long to figure that tid-bit out," Taylor said as she groped Josh in front of her and the rest of the student body.
"But, what about growing up together," she whispered, stunned.
"Please, my mother made me," she sneered.
"But-," she stammered.
"Look, give it up Jehnna," she said. "I never liked you and now that it turns out you are another freak, I like you less. Now get out of my way."
Jehnna watched as her world continued to crumble.
