Beep, beep, beep, beep

As the small black alarm clock sounded through the small bedroom a hand snaked its way out from under the big dooner on the bed to turn off the clock. After several unsuccessful attempts to turn it off the owner of the hand groaned then picked up the clock and threw it at the wall. As it fell to the floor in little pieces the owner pushed back the covers on her bed and sat up.

"Oops! I guess I'll have to buy another one." Kagome Higurashi said as she looked at the broken clock on the floor.

Walking to her closet she picked out hers days clothes. Baggy black jeans with silver chains that ran from the hip to the knees, a long sleeve black shirt with a picture of Slipknot on the back and a black hoody with a picture of Placebo on it. With her clothes picked out she went into the bathroom to take a shower.

Twenty minutes later she walked into the kitchen to find her twelve-year-old brother Sota already eating his breakfast. As usual she noticed that her mother was not yet up, and there were bottles of alcohol on the sink, all empty. Kagome threw them out and then walked over to the cupboard.

"Hey sis, why do you wear so many earrings?" Sota asked her with a mouthful of food.

She had about six earrings in each ear and she also got her eyebrow and lip pierced for her sixteenth birthday the previous year.

"To piss mum off, and don't talk with your mouth full Sota." she replied as she sat down at the table with her bowl.

"Yeah? Well it works, just don't let her know about the tattoo you got yesterday." he warned her after swallowing.

"Don't worry, I won't. I really don't want a repeat of what happened when she found out about the lip ring." Kagome said to him as she poured milk on her cereal.

Flashback

Kagome had just gotten home after getting her lip pierced. And her mum didn't look happy.

"What the fuck is that in your lip?" her mum asked, drunk as usual.

"Duh, it's a lip ring." Kagome replied as she sat on the couch to watch TV.

"Don't talk to me like that you ungrateful little bitch. Take it out now." her mum replied as she slapped her daughter in the face.

Kagome stood up and stared daggers at her mum. She was always like this when she was drunk and no matter what Kagome did to try and prevent a fight her mum always managed a way to make one.

"Fuck you! I'll do what ever I want. At least I don't get myself so drunk that I'm passed out before six o'clock." and that little statement earned her a black eye and a split lip.

End Flashback

Kagome never hit her mum back, only because she knew that she could do more damage to her mum then what she could do to her in her drunken state. So she just took it and made sure that her mum never hit Sota.

"Sota, you better make sure you have everything packed. We leave for the airport in two hours." she told him as she went to wash the dishes.

'While I go and wake the beast' she said to herself as she turned off the tap.

They were moving to Tokyo to live with Kagome's grandfather, he needed help looking after the family shrine and living here reminded them too much of Kagome and Sota's father. He had died two years previous in a car crash on his way home from work and that's when all the problems started. Sota started doing very poorly in school, Kagome started to get more distant from the world and that's is when their mum started to drink. Kagome had to get a part time job to pay for food and the bills because the money from their dad was being used by their mum for alcohol.

Five minutes later

BANG!

Kagome had gotten to her mum's bedroom and kicked the door open to wake her up.

"What the fuck is going on?" her mum asked as she sat up in bed, awoken by the noise.

"Get up, we have to leave in two hours." and with that Kagome left for her room to make sure she had everything she needed.

'The sooner we get out of here, the better' she thought as she picked up the broken alarm clock and threw it in the bin.

One hour and forty boring minutes later they were at the airport waiting for their plane. Sota was playing his game boy SP that Kagome had brought him for his birthday, their mum was trying to sleep off her hangover and Kagome was searching through her bag for her mp3 player.

'Ha, here it is' she said to herself as she pulled the mini player out of her back pack. 'this is going to be a long flight' she said to herself as she looked at her mum asleep in the hard plastic chair across from her. She then put her headphones on and scanned to her favourite song.

Trapped in this World

You think you're smart
You're not
It's plain to see
That you want me
To fall off
It's killing me
Let's see
If you've got the Gaul
Come take it all

The Jury is coming
Coming to tear me apart
Come on, it's on
I'm trapped in this world
Lonely and fading
Heart broke and waiting
For you to come
We are stuck in this world
That's not meant for me
For me

So what you got
One last shot
It's seems to me
That you're not needed
Come on
It's killing me
Let's see
If you've got the Gaul
Come take it all

The jury is coming
Coming to tear me apart
All this bitching and moaning
Come on, it's on
I'm trapped in this world
Lonely and fading
Heart broke and waiting
For you to come
We are stuck in this world
That's not meant for me
For me

Come on, it's on
Come on, it's on
Come, on it's on
Come on, it's on

I'm trapped in this world
Lonely and fading
Heart broke and waiting
For you to come
We are trapped in this world
That's not meant for me
For me

I'm trapped in this world
Lonely and fading
Heart broke and waiting
For you to come
We are trapped in this world
That's not meant for me
For me
For me
For me
For me
