I woke with tears in my eyes.
A soul woke. His eye twiched open. He muttered something like a yawn and looked at me.
I tried to act like I was asleep. I felt a clawed hand grab the collar of my shirt and lift me up.
"Wha-a-a-a!" I sputtered, flailing.
"Why'd ya wake me, fox?" Came the grueling question.
"I-I-I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" I stuttered, keeping my eyes close.
I felt the hand let go of me as I hit the ground. I couldn't help but uttering a cry.
Another soul woke.
"Mmmhmm?" She asked, yawing and rubbing an eye.
"S-Sorry, Kagome." I stuttered, scampering behind the girl.
"It's fine." Kagome sighed, sitting up. She glanced out the window above her. Light was just starting to shine in.
Another person sturred, and a Monk rose. He looked around, drowzily.
"What seems to be the trouble?" He asked, his voice wise and irritated.
"Oh, nothing, right, Shippo?" Kagome was looking at the Monk, Miroku, even though her question was directed at me.
"Y-Yes, Kagome..." I looked down, trying to wipe the tears in my eyes away. It didn't go unseen.
Inuyasha peered around Kagome.
"What are you crying for this time, fox?" He scowled.
Kagome frowned at Inuyasha. "Stop. It's early in the morning and you're allready starting this."
I balled my hands into fists. I mustered all my strength and jumped up to the window ledge.
All eyes were on me.
"Y-You guys are just t-too stupid to ever uh-understand!" I hollared, kicking at the glass. A crack formed and I busted my way out.
