I Do Not Own InuYasha
I fell to my knees, how could this be happening again? He promised me…HE PROMISED! My father threw my mother to the floor, she whimpered when her head bounced off the tile. He grabbed her by the hair and lifted her off the floor. Her eyes searched frantically until they connected with mine. Tears ran down her face and her eyes were pleading. "Leave Kagome" her mouth formed a silent warning that brought tears to my eyes. How could I just leave her? Usually he would hit us and just go back into the garage until he sobered. This time it was different. My father was not only wasted, but he was desperate after hearing my mother say she was leaving him. I needed to get to the phone. Father had broken my phone in his fit of rage when he first entered the room and the house phone was right behind him. There was no way I could reach it without him hurting me, but I had to save my mom. I couldn't just let him hurt her…not again. I took a step towards them and I felt a chill go up my spine as my feet touched the cold tile of our kitchen. The tiles under my feet were chilling but the smile that my father gave me made my blood run cold. "See what happens Kagome?" his voice was sickly sweet. "This is what your mother gets for trying to leave me." He kicked her in her ribs and she moaned softly. While he smiled in satisfaction I took a few steps forward, I didn't want him to notice what I was doing. My heart stopped when he walked over and grabbed the knife. "Now my wife I think I know a way to solve both of our problems" he snickered as he turned around. I felt my stomach churn, that was it. I'm gonna make a run for it.
