Chapter 1: we're doing what?

Kagome sat in her classroom looking at the time. It was 3:25 and school was almost over. She sighed to herself knowing that she had to go home sooner or later.

3:30, the bell rings and everyone gets up and heads off to their homes with no problem at all. They went home to a family that love them and would never do anything to hurt each other. Kagome only wish that she had a family like that but she only had her father.

Her mom and little brother had died in a car accident when she was 10. She was now 16 and mostly dreaded life.

"Kagome!" Kagome looks up to see her friend Eri running up to her.

She began to think to herself that the only thing that kept her going were her friends. "Hey kagome how was your day?"

"Boring as usually. I slept through most of my classes."

Eri looks at her friend with concern. Kagome had never looked so helpless in her life. She only hopes that whatever had her so down would soon pass over.

"What?" said kagome snapping Eri out of her thoughts.

"Oh nothing I was just thinking!"

"About what that had you looking at me like that?"

"I was uhhh...wondering if you would like to go shopping later on? It is Friday!"

"I don't think I can. I have a lot of stuff to do this weekend."

'Plus my dad would never let me go out nowhere. He said I was pushing it when I made friends...speaking of the devil-'

Kagome snaps out of her thoughts and look down at her watch." Crap! Its 3:45! I have to go Eri sorry!" she race out of the school and begins to run home as fast as she could. 'I can't be late. If I am I'll be in big trouble!"

Flashback

"If you don't be home by 4:00 every day, you'll find yourself in worst trouble then you are now!" he punches her in the face. "Now clear up this mess! And when you're done go to your room I don't want to see your hideous face no more tonight!"

He goes back over to sit on the couch drinking his beer.

Flashback end

Kagome got the goose bumps just thinking about the beating she would get if she were home late again. She sees the shrine steps and makes her way up. She looks at her watch 3:58.

'I can make this!' She got to the top of the stairs and ran to the front door. She opens it and went in looking down at her watch, 4:00. She sighs and leans up against the door.

Her dad was walking by and saw her leaning on the door. He snickered. "Made it just in time."

She looks at her father with fear in her eyes thinking that he was going to make up something just to beat her. He just laughs and walks to the kitchen.

Kagome grab her bag and makes her way to her room. Oh how she wishes it were a lock on her door. She began doing her homework at her desk. She was in the middle of it when her dad burst through the door.

Kagome jumps up out of her seat and starts to back up when her dad made his way over to her. She was up against the window with nowhere to run.

She closes her eyes waiting for him to hit her but it never came. She opens one of her eyes to see her dad very close to her face. He raises his hand and Kagome flinch but her dad just put his hand on her chin.

He had a smirk on his face that made Kagome want to throw up. "Where're moving. So pack up this crap." he turns around to leave but Kagome did the one thing that could get her killed, she question her father.

"But why? All my friends are here I can't just leave." Yuta, her father, stop dead in his tracks. He turns around and looks at his daughter and kagome knew that she was in for it.

He ran up to her and grabs her by the shirt. "Are you questioning me?"

"No I was... I just..." She couldn't get her words to come out.

He punches her in the face and she falls to the floor. He began kicking her in the stomach "Don't you ever talk back to me! Your nothing but a worthless wench and will never amount to anything!"

He stops kicking her. "I expect this room to be spotless by morning and all your crap downstairs!" He walks out and slams the door.

Kagome begins to cry as she pulls herself up against the bed. She winces every time she moves.

How could he just move from their home that they lived in for so long? She gets up and goes to the bathroom limping along the way. She lifts up her shirt and sees the bruises that began to show.

They cover old bruises that she had from countless times. Her chest was black and purple from how hard he had kicked her.

She looks behind the mirror and pulls out the ointment and puts it on her bruises, also she takes 2 pain relievers.

She goes to her room and starts packing, making her way up and down the stairs. When she was done she lay in her bed and went into a deep sleep.
