Kagome sat at the bottom of the sacred tree. She looked down and found her skirt wet with her tears. She wiped her eyes and picked up the knife she had brought. She cut herself in the arm and winced in pain. 'That's for being weak you stupid loner,' she thought. Over the past year she had been in the feaudal era, she had gone through alot of pain. Inuyasha had always been comparing her to his old girlfriend Kikyo. "You'll never be as strong as Kikyo," "Kikyo could have done better," "Kikyo was alot smarter," "Kikyo was beautiful," "With Kikyo, we would already have finished the jewel," and so on. She felt tears again and covered her face. She knew that all of it was true. She would never be as smart, pretty, strong, or fast as Kikyo. She beat herself up over and over again knowing that she should have been more like Kikyo. Unknown to her, everyone, even Inuyasha, was worried about her. She hadn't eaten in 5 weeks and she grew pale and skinny. She was often weak and lagged. Then Inuyasha would put her down even more. She would just hang her head ashamed to even be considered in the group. Sango was always trying to force her to eat, Miroku was always trying to cheer her up, Shippo always pestering her about what was wrong and Inuyasha, well, he would 'hmmpf' then walk off pissed. Remembering all these things, Kagome trailed the knife up and down her creamy skin leaving open gashes. She sighed and relaxed.
It had been like this for a while. She would cut herself and the pain would eventually numb her then she would forget about all the
reasons why she hated her life. She lifted up her shirt and she fingered all the scars on her body. There were gashes all over her body.
She hated doing this every night, but it was the only way she could forget about all the pain. She felt so weak to resolve to this.
Hearing someone behind her, Kagome jumped up but was so weak, she fell back down but the person caught her. She looked up weakly and saw the worried face of Inuyasha. She instantly pulled herself up out of his arms. He looked surprised, then scared. She was panting and was terrified. She rubbed her arms trying to get the smell away from Inu's sensitive nose. But he was faster than her and grabbed Kagome by the upper arms and Kagome cried out in pain. Inuyasha pushed kagome to the ground then sat on her stomach. He pinned her down and, using his claws, ripped Kagome's sleeves until they were no longer long sleeves. Inuyasha saw fresh blood marks and old cuts. Kagome was crying and Inuyasha looked down at Kagome. "Kagome, what the hell are you doing?! Who did this to you? Tell me kagome! Who did this to you?." Kagome looked to the side, away from Inuyasha and started to cry again. "I did."
