Chapter 1

Kagome woke up with a severe headache. That was always how her days started and she hated it. She has those dreams concerning her father and his 'discrete' hatred for her existence. He's dead but he still haunts her dreams. Kagome got up rubbed the sleep from her eyes and got dressed. It was a Sunday so she didn't have any school but it didn't really matter, everyday was always the same.

Kagome, now dressed in a simple t-shirt and baggy pants, sat on her bed and looked out her window. This is not her home, this is Sango's. Her best friend had been kind enough to let her stay there ever since her dad kicked her out. Kagome sighed at the memory.

Flashback...

"What is that brat doing here!?" shouted her father while pointing at a 14 year old Kagome who had her head bowed and Souta clung to her leg; crying. Her father came home from another one of those 'jobs' of his. He was a Drug lord and only Kagome knew that because she saw him sell some drugs to a few people. She had kept that from her family so that they won't send her father away. She was 8 when she saw him and of course, her father saw her. He had threatened her to try and tell on him but she didn't keep this secret because of that. She kept it because she loved her father. Even if he didn't love her.

"She lives here." replied the submissive tone of her mother. She didn't love her husband like before because when he came home now he would either beat their daughter or mess up their home.

Ever since that day, Kagome's father hated her even more. He used to spank her all the time when she was a child for the simplest of mistakes. Like spilling one grain of rice or for being one minute late in whatever occasion. Yep. That was her father. And that was before she saw him. But when she did, she was forced to be the top student in everything every time or else her father would beat her. And she was to do everything she was told properly and fast; if she failed she would get a whipping on her back. She wouldn't get to eat if she did something her father didn't like. Sure it gave her excellent grades and trained her efficiency but still, it's better to have a father who loves you and supports you rather than a father who threatens your life and punches your gut every night.

"Why does she still live here? She should've been packed and kicked out years ago. I ordered her to get out but why is she still here?!"

"Because I say so! What is your problem with Kagome?! She didn't do anything to you! She's your daughter, damn it! Treat her like one!" She could almost feel her mother's tone as she shouted at her husband. Kagome's mom was rarely talking back to her father but right now, she was beyond pissed.

"Her very existence irritates me. Kick her out."

"No."

"Now!"

"Or what?!"

Kagome knew what would happen and out of impulse she ran to her mother and pushed her just as her father pulled out his gun and pulled the trigger. The shot rang throughout the house. Souta was wide-eyed and his face was marred by pure terror. Kagome's mother was on the floor and was horrified for her daughter. Kagome stood there glaring at her father in defiance as her shoulder bled profusely along her arm and towards the floor. Her father, uncaring, who he shot, slapped Kagome's face with the gun. Hard. Hard enough to produce a long bleeding cut on her cheek. Kagome stood her ground, ignoring her wounds as she said,

"I will leave, Father. So please don't hurt anyone any more." For that, she was slapped again on the other cheek with the same gun making it bleed as well. Kagome had learned not to cry at what her father does to her. She had gotten used to it overtime.

"Get out!"

Without another word she picked up her ready bags and proceeded outside. Her mother was protesting and so was her brother but she merely gave them one of her genuine smiles and walked out the door. She went to Sango's house and the girl was only surprised to see her friend bleeding but took her in in as soon as she opened the door. They have talked about this for a long time now since Kagome knew her father would kick her out eventually.

"Oh Kami! Kagome! What happened to your face? And your arm!?"

Sango lived alone with her brother in their family's house, which is big. Their family was massacred in some political occurrence and they were left all alone but both were able to survive and fend for themselves since Sango had a part-time job which pays nicely.

They had no trouble with Kagome because she also has a part-time job. Same as Sango's, in fact, they worked together.

"My father." she stated simply. Sango knew of her father's beating and she felt a boiling anger rise in her chest.

"Again!? Doesn't that damn bastard have anything else to do besides beat his daughter?!" she fumed as she got her first aid kit and started treating Kagome's multiple wounds.

"Apparently, no." sighed Kagome as she watched Sango clean and bandage her arm. It didn't sting. She felt nothing anymore. She was so used to this.

"I'm sorry you had to do this for me, Sango."

"Nonsense. You're the first friend I ever had and right now, you're the only one."

Yep. They were the only ones they've got right now.

"It's a good thing Kohaku isn't here. That boy would've fainted at your wounds." she had just finished treating Kagome's wounds as she started to put the kit away.

"Hm. Where is he?"

"At his friend's house."

"Oh."

"So you're officially my tenant, now?" she asked as she eyed Kagome's bags. Kagome could only sigh and nod. Sango sighed and sat beside Kagome on the couch.

"Kagome, you know its okay for you to stop being strong right now. As long as your here, its okay for you to let loose. You don't need to avoid crying here, you know that." And that did it. Kagome's tears burst from her eyes as she hugged herself and sobbed. Sango wrapped her arms around her friend and patted her hair. It was the same thing Kagome did for her when her family was killed. They had made a promise that day to always look out for each other. And they did keep to that promise.

End of Flashback...

It's been 5 years already. Her father had died due to a car crash 6 months after he kicked her out. Her family begged her to come home but she wouldn't. That household too many painful memories for her. She loved her father and tried to win his heart ever since she learned how to talk. He never even touched her as a child except to spank her. He claimed that she was not his, etc... It hurt at first but, like they say, time heals all wounds...

"Kagome, stop your reminiscing and let's go or we'll be late for work." Sango leaned on her doorframe with a hand on her hip.

"Yeah, I'm coming!" Kagome grabbed her body bag and left with Sango. Their work was baby-sitting during the weekends and on week days they would help in a car shop. They aren't the normal jobs college students would do but it does pay the necessities so why not?

Today Sango will be baby-sitting a kid from the Houshi family. As for Kagome, she'll be with two kids from the Taisho family. It was weird that this family would ask for a baby-sitter since they are famous for owning the wealthiest and the most industrious company in technology. They could have just hired someone who was a professional but, oh well; the pay was more than too much so why decline?

Coincidentally, the houses of their clients were right next to each other and they didn't have to walk far. It was only a 5 blocks away from where they live. After bidding the other goodbye, they went to their respective houses (sounds like something from Harry Potter...). Kagome was clearly beyond amazed. The house...mansion... whatever was HUGE! The grounds were wide and more than spacious.

"Oi! Wench!" yelled a voice. It snapped her out of her reverie and made her look at the person. She saw a boy around her age with silver hair, golden eyes and… doggy ears. She couldn't help but walk closer as if in a trance, not hearing the boy's comments or protests and then when she was in front of the boy she… rubbed his ear and it made tweaking noises…

"Wha-what the hell are y-you doing!?"

TBC…
