Bloody Tears
"Now Miss Higurashi tell us one more time what you saw." Said the over
weight police officer. "I already told ounce, why do I have to tell you
again?" I asked. I did not want to repeat the story all over again. I was
getting to depressed to even think about it." Imagine what it is like for
him." That thought gave her strength. She could tell this story over and
over until they had it memorized if she had to, she could do it for him. "Just
one more time for the record Miss Higurashi." Said the man. I nodded and
started the story. "I was in my room doing homework by my window when I heard
a loud bang. I looked out the window, where I heard the bang from across the street
at my friend's house. I looked at one of the windows and I could see someone's back
pressed onto the window, or at least half of his back the rest was pressed up to the
wall. At first I couldn't tell who it was but then I recognized the person as my friend
Inuyasha. I didn't know what was going on, I kept watching and I saw Inuyasha slide
down the wall and he didn't get back up. Then I saw Inuyasha's father, Toshio walk
up to him. At first I thought he was going to help Inuyasha up because he bent down,
but when he came back up he was holding Inuyasha by his collar. I was wondering
why Inuyasha wasn't fighting back but I didn't have time to think about that since
Toshio through Inuyasha across the room. That is when I ran downstairs and told my
dad. He is a police officer, he called backup. When they got there they surrounded
the house and after a few tries of getting Toshio to come out they busted down the
door. I snuck in with them. They all looked throughout the house, and found them in
the basement. What I saw I would never forget; Inuyasha was on the ground hunched
over holding his stomach and surrounded by his own blood. He had bruises, cuts and
wounds all over him. My father arrested Toshio and called an ambulance." We later
found out that Toshio had given him a sever drug over dose.
Different Scene
I opened my eyes, looked around and didn't recognize anything.
Everything was white, so boring and it smelled bad. I couldn't remember
where I was. The last thing that I do remember is that my father was
beating me again, and that I blacked out after he dragged me down the
stairs to the basement. Two men that looked like police officers walked in.
"Hello Mr. Tashi, do you mind if we ask you a few questions? They asked
obviously they did not care if I wasn't feeling well. I'm sure they could tell
that just by looking at me but I didn't say anything, I just nodded. "Could
you tell us what happened to make you come to the hospital? I heard
them ask but I didn't really care I was already getting absorbed into why I
was in the hospital.
"Dad! I'm home!" I yelled. I heard him say to come into the living room. When I
walked in he was sitting on his chair staring at me. "Hey dad, what do you need?" I
asked a little impatiently, I needed to go do my homework." "Your report card came.
It says you got a C in history." I heard him say, and I knew what was coming but I
wanted to try to avoid it. "I can explain…" I tried to say but he wouldn't let me.
"Inuyasha you know all I want you to do is get good grades, I don't ask anything else
of you. Just get good grades so you can go to a good collage and get a good education,
but no you want to slack off and get bad grades in school. "Dad I can do better" I said,
I was starting to get scared. "I know you can do better, but I told you what will
happen when you get bad grades didn't I?" he asked. "Yes you did but I…" "No more
excuses Inuyasha" and then he backhanded me across the face, I fell onto my book
back. I could feel my books digging into my back. I tried to get away but it was no
use. He got my foot and dragged me toward him I tried to get him off me but he
twisted my foot and kicked me in the gut. It knocked the wind out of me and I
couldn't breathe for several seconds. He picked me up by my neck, my book bag fell
off my back, he slammed me into the wall next to the window knocking the air out of
me again, he put pressure on my neck. I couldn't breath, thing were going black. He
dropped me before I could go unconscious. I sucked in some air but before I could get
another breath, he threw me across the room. He walked over to me and kicked me in the stomach again. I curled up into a ball trying to
forget what was going on but that was impossible. I could feel him kicking me in the
stomach still and then he grabbed my hair and started dragging towards the stairs. I
started fighting again but he got out his dagger and stabbed me in my ribs. He dragged
me down the stairs; I must have hit my head at least ten times. I felt him put a needle
into my arm but I could hardly breathe let alone fight him at this point. I felt him
stab me a few more times then passed out.
"After that I guess I wound up here, I don't really know how though." I said. "OK
well thank you Mr. Tashi. And then they left. I fell asleep right after that.
Different Scene
Toshio Tashi the court finds you guilty of child abuse and attempted murder on a
miner. You are here by sentences to life in prison, with no possible chance of parole.
Court adjourned. That was that. It was over. I walked outside; I could smell the fresh air.
I saw Kagome, who apparently saved my life by telling her father what she saw
threw her window. She saw me and gave me a slight smile, like she was saying she
was sorry for what happened but she was happy that he was in jail. I was too of course.
I saw my brother next. He gave me a small smile. When I saw him I new everything
would be better from now on.
