Heyylo! ^_^ I'm new... sorta. My name's Fuzzy, and I'm new... sorta. Do you sense a pattern here?


Anyway, my good friend (right...) Silver Dragon here is typing for me, since I suck. (Fuzzy says in the background: "Oh! You're so mean! As soon as we're don writing my story I'm gonna kill you!!!! *Loads shotgun*") What a nice guy, ne? *Laughs*


The beginning is in Inu-chan's P.O.V! Kay? Kay! Flames will be roasted with Silver D.'s breath! AND eaten! *Cackles*


Anyway~, to the fic! ^_^ (Silver D.'s commentary... Fuzzy's is in italics, kay?)

Thoughts


~*~


In the beginning, everything was... perfect. My dad loved mom, my mom loved dad... Everything was just... perfect. Everyone says that there was no such thing, but they obviously didn't know my parents.


But now... Now everything sucks.


And I know I deserve every bit of it.


What do I deserve, you ask? Well, my mother died. My dad...


Now he hates me.


But I guess that that would be an understatement. It's more like loathing. More than once, I've had to stay up late at night scrubbing my blood off the walls, then head to school with no sleep, food, and the comforting friend known as pain to guide me. I know that I could hide, and I know that I should, but I don't. I just stand there and take the blows. I don't cry.


I can't cry.


I've lost that ability. Its as if all of my emotions were there at first, but now they just decided to bundle themselves into a ball of slime and scuttle into the farthest reaches of my heart. Al that remains are old memories of what used to be, and why I deserve to die. All bottled up inside my heart...


If I have one, that is.


Tonight's one of those nights. My father went out with a bunch of his friends; probably getting drunk or hitting on some bimbo. On these nights, I know what's coming. I can sense the pain and anxiety prodding into my senses; warning me.


But, fear has never hugged me like an old friend as it does to others. Except on those nights when I fear if father won't give me a beating. On those dreary days, I punish myself. Why?


Because I deserve it.


The screeching of tires filled my ears as light blared into my mind, blinding me for a moment.


Dad's home.

(PS:, This chapter was written by both myself (Fuzzy) and Silver D., although she came up with a bunch of stuffs... (Hey! You're giving me credit! ^_^) *Rolls eyes*)


Kagome panted as she sprinted up the shrine steps. All one hundred and seventeen of them.


Damn it! Who built the shrine on a steep hill?


As her foot connected with the last and final step, she congratulated herself.


That was a good one, Kagome-chan!


She smiled, and continued her journey home from school. She was half expecting to see some bears to jump out from the trees around her, and even grabbed a large stick to "protect" herself from them.


She ended up squishing a large earthworm.


"Eep!" she squealed as her foot squashed the small, squirmy thing. Poking at it with her stick, she came to a conclusion that it was most certainly dead, and that it was not going to resurrect itself to cast undying doom upon her for... squishing it to death.


Yep! Plain logic and another day in the life of Kagome. (Hey! A slogan! (Fuzzy: *Snorts*)

^.^;; Sorry for the shortness, but it's a teaser. We'll update again tomorrow, if anyone reviews...


Fuzzy: *Pokes everyone* Yeah! Review or I'll never continue again! *Looks smug*


*Rolls eyes* Anyway, we shall update every so often... Maybe not as often as you like... But still!


OK! Bai!
