Chapter 1: New Day

"Kagome get your ass down here!" her father screamed. Kagome froze in fright, completely stopping what she was in the middle of. 'Oh no! what did I do this time!' Kagome asked herself in anticipation. As soon as her father yelled at her she got up from her bed and ran downstairs. "Yes father?" she asked in a quiet and tiny voice with her hands folded behind her back as she gazed at the ground. "Why the hell is dinner not ready!" her father screamed until his face was beet red, obviously annoyed and frustrated at her. "I'm sorry father but I was working on my homework." Kagome simply said, hating having to stand in front of her father in fright. As soon as she said that, without another word, his palm met her left cheek harshly. She stood there with one red mark on her cheek and eyes wide. "You're such a worthless brat! Sometimes I wonder why you couldn't die with your mom and brother in that stupid accident!" As soon as he said that Kagome lifted her head to gaze straight into his coffee brown eyes with a look of shock and hurt. Brown eyes meeting another pair of brown eyes. 'How much I missed looking into those eyes without being afraid..' Kagome thought as she held in a whimper. He sighed, annoyed at her. "Well? What are you standing around for!" and pointed towards the kitchen. Kagome looked down with one tear falling down her red cheek as she started towards the kitchen, not giving one final glance at her father. 'Don't cry, Don't cry, Don't cry' she kept on telling herself, trying to stay strong. She walked into the kitchen and immediately went over to the sink. Kagome pressed her weight onto the sink as her arms stretched out with her hands grasping onto the counter edge on either side. Her grip tightened for her knuckles to turn white. Kagomes eyes squinted, trying to hold back the tears before she broke down, letting her head drop for her bangs to hide her face. She looked out the window and sobbed silently while cooking.

After she finished dinner she went into her room and finished her homework. As she was, her heart was pounding in fright, shock, and relief that, that was all her father did to her. She didn't want to live this life anymore. She wanted to be able to be free, happy, and do whatever she wanted to do. Kagome was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't notice that inherent homework wasn't completed until one in the morning. After that she crawled into her bed, laying on the stiff mattress, and brought her knees up to her chest as she wrapped her arms tightly around her legs and cried herself to sleep thinking of the memories of her mom and brother. She hid her face into her chest and knees as she thought of how everything used to be. They were all so happy until her selfishness ruined her whole family. Kagome ran out of tears it shed and memories to think of so she let a yawn escape her before she hid her face even more into her knees, trying to get tears to fall. Right before she went to sleep she thought 'I'm sorry mother' and then her lack of energy caused her to fall asleep.

The next morning she woke up from an annoying alarm. She pounded her fist on it in a rush, pressing any random buttons to shut it off immediately before her dad would wake up and beat her for disturbing him while he was sleeping. Then, as if her father knew she was thinking about him, that's when she heard her dad shifting his weight around, starting to wake up. Kagome got her alarm to stop as her eyes widened and her stomach dropped. She seemed frozen stiff in shock and fright. 'Oh no, not again!' Kagome thought before she ran out of her room and quickly tumbled down the stairs faster than her feet could keep up with and darted straight to the kitchen. Kagome zoomed around the kitchen faster than she ever had, cooking his breakfast. She made his breakfast just in time as he walked in just as she set down his plate of perfect made breakfast. "Oh, looks good" he said with a mischievous smirk on his face that caused a shiver to go down Kagomes back. Then she noticed that he wasn't looking at the breakfast; he was looking at her. 'Why is he looking at me?' she thought before she scooted past her father then headed back up stairs.

When she went into the bathroom to get ready she saw something she didn't want to see. A huge bruise was on her left cheek. A gaps of shock left her as her eyes kept their gazes locked on the bruise. Her eyes felt hot, fresh tears brim them as they grew wide at it. 'Oh no! I need to put cover up on it before school starts!' Kagome thought as she looked around frantically for it. Pheromones chocolate eyes darted around the bathroom, her hands shaking in a nervous wreck before she got an idea of where it would've went. Kagome opened the cupboard and saw it was lying on the middle shelf with a bunch of things surrounding it. There was pain killers, more cover up and foundation, pain relievers, bandages, ointments, and many more medical things for her to use. Kagome tipped the bottle over for some foundation that matched her creamy skin perfectly to fall out onto her beauty sponge. Kagome lined it up with her bruise before lightly dabbing it on. Kagome hissed in pain, bring her bottom lip as it met her skin the most gentlest way that she could do it. It slowly started to have a memory go through Kagomes mind of her watching her mom do the same thing as she stood in the doorway, watching her mom with a face of betrayal, knowing exactly what happened to her mother. Kagome smeared it around until it didn't even look like she had any bruise. When she was finished you couldn't even tell that she was abused. You couldn't even tell that she had ever been struck before in her life. She looked at herself in the mirror and a frown came upon her face. 'Just what I need. A secret hidden behind layers of foundation which no one will find about, no matter what. No one who cares. No one who lo-' she didn't get to think any longer when she heard her father yell for her. "Oh jeez.." She mumbled in fright, just as she was used to. Living in fright. She headed downstairs, her feet padding each step on the way down. "What the hell is this!" her father demanded more then asking, his face with disgust on it as he was pointing at the plate of breakfast Kagome made him. "..." Kagome didn't have an answer and just stood there dumbfound idly, her eyes keeping their gaze to the floor, feeling ashamed. Kagome suddenly heard her father growl in annoyance before grabbing a handful of hair at the back of her head. Kagome winced as her hands flew to the back of her head to grasp over her fathers. Kagomes father shook her roughly, a face of annoyance and anger on it. "Do you know how many times I gave you chances? Huh, do ya know? To many! I gave you to many chances!" Her father screamed in anger, his hand tightening around the handful of hair that pulled extremely tight on her scalp. Kagome whimpered as her hands grip slightly tightened around his hand as she started to panic. 'What's he doing?' She screamed in the back of her head, terribly frightened by the man who gave her so much harm and pain. Kagomes father grumbled before he roughly let go of Kagomes hair, pushing her away while doing it. It caused Kagome to stumble back before she regained her posture and stood straight back up while rubbing her scalp that was bleeding slightly. Kagomes father growled before he whipped around, grabbed the plate, and whipped back around facing Kagome with a fire in his eyes that was a bright warning sign to Kagome. Before she could react, he threw the plate of breakfast at her as hard as he could. Crack! She had it thrown right at the corner of her head. Kagome fell backwards onto her butt before hissing in pain while putting her palm against her head where the plate hit her. Now there was blood dripping from the corner of her head. Blood built up in her hand until it crept between her fingers and spilled down her hand and arm until it dripped off of her elbow and onto the floor. The plate crashed onto the floor, split into three pieces. Her father grabbed one of the pieces and threw it at her with all of his might once again, his hunger not quite satisfied. That one met Kagome and made a scratch on her cheek as she was trying to stand up. She fell to the floor on her knees sobbing and begging him to stop with her arms laying on her lap for Kagome to see all the blood that her so called father caused. "Stop it!" Kagome cried out as her voice cracked. Her face was distorted in pain and fright as she loudly sobbed, slightly rocking back and forth. When she screamed that she regretted it. Her father snarled before he picked her up from her shirt like she was nothing and slammed her against the wall closest to him. "Try to actually be worth something! Why don't you actually try for once! Or you could go kill yourself and make me glad for once!" her father screamed an inch from her face. "I'm sorry!" she cried out, shaking viciously. Kagome kept her eyes closed as she turned her head away from him, waiting for the strike. She was surprised to feel nothing and opened her eyes for them to only stare in horror. She watched him bring one of his fists back. She stared wide eyed in horror and fright at his fist coming towards her face. She felt a huge amount of pain from the impact and started sobbing loudly. Her father let go of her shirt to let her crumple to the floor. "Clean this up and go to school. Don't come home late. If you tell anyone about this you will regret it." he said calmly and disgusted at her while walking out of the kitchen, not looking back once. She sobbed for another five minutes listening to her own voice quake. Kagome remembered everything that her father had said. She felt like he was just trying to put her confidence down but it still seemed to Kagome felt like going up to her room and never coming out again. 'Like anyone would notice. Nor care.' Kagome thought in depression as she continued to sob. Before Kagome left, she rushed to clean up the mess in the kitchen and then to put more cover up on to cover where her father punched her.

When she made it to school her eyes were red and puffy and her hair was half brushed out. Kagomes hair wasn't the usual shiny and wavy it used to be before everything happened. Kagomes hair was dull just like her eyes were. She had no light to help guide her throughout the darkness that surrounded her for what seemed like her whole life. Kagome wore faded skinny jeans and a long sleeve white turtle neck to hide even more secrets from everyone. Everything was hidden except the dark bags under her bloodshot eyes. And the way her cheeks were sunken in from the amount of stress she had. Let's just say Kagome looked terrible. Like she was the walking dead or someone who didn't sleep for a whole year. Kagome looked like she just gave up or like she didn't even care anymore. Like she had no hope. 'What I just need. No one to know or care..' Kagome thought depressed before sighing and walking into the crowded school.

When she went to her locker she saw something she didn't want to. It was Kikyo with another man that she got. Kikyo had him pinned against the lockers from across the hallway from Kagome and seemed to be having yet another make out session. He seemed different for some odd reason to Kagome though...something about him made Kagome want to be closer to him. Like they were magnets. And no, not like that. She just sensed something about him that soothed her. That made her relax and feel flow-free. She gazed at the guy, completely ignoring Kikyo who was suffocating him with her lips. She noticed how he stood out from all the other boys. She didn't even know this stranger guy and wanted to stare at him?! Kagome shrugged her shoulders. Well, why not? She gazed at him, pointing out he had white long hair that seemed to look elegant and soft as it shined in the light, honey gold eyes that shined like there was nothing bad ever going to happen, a nice built even tanned body that looked comfortable to sleep on top or entangled with while in his arms, and... 'oh my god look how cute those ears are!' Kagome thought. She gazed at the dog ears that perked up on the top of his head that actually surprised her when they twitched towards her, like they yearned for her attention. Kagome dreaded to feel them. They looked like they were as soft as silk which Kagome yearned to feel in between her fingers. Silk always reminded her of her mothers kimono that she would wear each time during a special occasion or her birthday. Kagome remembered the way she would feel it and how her mother would sleep with Kagome since it soothed her. Kagome remembered putting the red silk between her fingers and rubbing it back and forth as it seemed to sooth her or put her under a spell that wouldn't let her open her eyes. Kagome remembered feeling the even patterns of her mothers chest rising and falling with Kagomes head resting on her chest as she fell asleep to the magical pattern.

Kikyo noticed Kagome staring as she turned around to walk away. "What are you looking at?" Kikyo snapped at the freak. Kagome got interrupted from the magical memory to see Kikyo. "I was obviously looking at you. Didn't you hear? You're the number one hoe in our school!" Kagome said sarcastically and pretended to be enthusiastic about it. "I am not! I can just get guys who actually like me like someone who can't." Kikyo replied as she put her hands on her hips and her eyebrows furrowed together. She felt her anger rising, wanting to punch the freak in front of her. Kagome had the perfect reply to that. "Whatever Kiky-hoe" Kagome said before turning around towards her locker, facing her back to Kikyo with a smirk. Kikyo acted dramatic as she gasped before clenching fists beside her hips and growled. The boy just watched in shock. He never saw the Kikyo that he saw in front of him. Kikyo turned around with the fakest smile she ever had to pretend as she walked over to the boy. "Bye Inu-baby" Kikyo said before giving him a peck on the lips that held no feelings in it. Kikyo turned back around as her smile immediately faded as she started to glare daggers at Kagomes back. Kikyos eyebrows furrowed together as she stomped off to class, forgetting all about the guy she left behind that she secretly didn't even like. 'He's a filthy half breed' Kikyo retorted in her mind, feeling disgusted in herself.

Kagome slowly opened her locker with a long creek as she looked at it, completely forgetting about the half breed behind her. Nothing except used binders that she either found or bought with her own money filled with papers. Kagome sighed before letting her head fall forward onto her dangling open locker door. The words that Kikyo said played over and over through her head. They were getting the best of her. 'I can just get guys who actually like me like someone who can't' Kikyos snobby voice went through Kagomes head. Kagome knew exactly who that someone was. 'Me' Kagome simply told herself. 'Kikyos right' Kagome thought in surprise that she actually agreed with Kikyo 'No one cares. If I killed myself, everyone would be in a better world without me wasting oxygen. No one would even notice if I did. They would probably find out and laugh and point at my gravestone...even if my father would get me one.' Kagome told herself in depression. Kagome gently closed her eyes as a tear fell down her sore cheek that was covered in makeup, keeping the truth hidden. 'No one loves me. Not even my own father!' Kagome was starting to tear up at the reality of her life. Several more tears fell before Kagome shook the thought out of her head and sniffled multiple times. Kagome put on the most fake smile that held no emotion in it as she wiped her eyes with the back of the cotton white sleeve of her shirt that cost her, her whole savings. Kagome slowly shut the locker with a loud disturbed creak as she closed her puffy red eyes and took a few breaths. Kagome reopened them, acting like nothing was wrong in her life before turning around as her hair flopped on her back and over her shoulders. Kagome ran off to class as a pair of eyes watched her in curiosity.

-Inuyashas POV-

'I don't get her problem.' Inuyasha grumbled in his head as he watched the tiny form at her locker. The suspicion got the best of him as he decided to stay and try to figure out her problem. He noticed the way she looked. How her hair looked dull and straight. How her eyes seemed puffy and the dark circles around them. Inuyasha saw the girl open up her locker with a depressing creak in it. The creak sounded like the girls soul was crying out. At least, that's what Inuyasha thought. The girl lowered her head before his ears twitched towards her to hear her sigh as if she was stressed or...depressed? Inuyasha questioned himself all these questions as he saw the girl look into her locker with no facial expression or emotion. Her dull eyes scanned her plain locker before she wriggled out a plain looking black binder. Inuyasha knew most people even though he was knew and how there lockers or binders looked. 'How come hers is so..plain?' Inuyasha questioned before he saw the girl lean her head onto the locker door that dangled wide open. Her dull, flat hair covered her face except one area that her eyes peered through. Inuyasha saw how she closed her eyes as if she has given up on everything and was thinking about something. Then salty water mixed with lavender and vanilla started to assualt his sensitive nose. His favorite scent was lavender and vanilla, but not with salty water. Inuyasha looked closely as more suspicion pumped through his body. He saw a single silent tear fall as she remained in the same position. Then multiple more tears fell. Then he heard what seemed to be someone sniffle. He instantly knew it was this strange girl that Kikyo didn't seem to say what her name was. He watched closely as if he was a detective. 'Why is she crying? It seemed like she wasn't sad when she decided to argue with Kikyo' Inuyasha noted to himself as he watched the sad girl with an amazing scent cry to -what she thought- herself. Then he saw her shake her head slightly as if coming out of the trance and standing back up. He saw her wipe her eyes with her cotton white sleeve. It looked like it was soft and pretty thick to wear during spring. He started to wonder why she was wearing that. Wasn't she hot in that thing? Inuyasha saw her plaster on a smile and rush off to class with her hair swaying from side to side. 'This girl seems so strange in some way...' Inuyasha thought as he watched her form shrink until she dissapeared around the corner. Then it hit him. She looked identical to Kikyo. She had black midnight hair that looked like it could shine like the stars in the night. Her dull, emotionless, eyes looked like chocolate that he could stare into all day without even thinking of looking away. He couldn't help but think of her being like Kikyo. He just thought it before even knowing the girl. Then, that brought up a question that he never thought he would want to know. 'What is her name? Who is she?' Inuyasha asked himself before replaying the incident that he caught in his head. Before she turned around he noticed her puffy red eyes and the scratch on her cheek. 'What happened to her? Probably just...gets bullied' It seemed to be a good guess since Kikyo did fight with her. For some reason it picked at his mind and bothered him. He quickly shrugged off the image of her and looked down at his schedule as he wandered around, trying to figure out where his class was before he was late.
