I don't own Inuyasha

She walks to school with the lunch she packed

Nobody knows what she's holdin' back

7 year old Kagome Higurashi walked slowly to school silently sobbing and climbed the steps to the front door.

Wearing the same dress she wore yesterday

She hides the bruises behind the linen and lace

Kagome tugged at the white jacket that she wore over her yellow dress with flowers on it. "Hey Kagome, are you poor? Because you wore that dress yesterday." some kids sneered laughing.

The teacher wonders but she doesn't ask

It's so hard to see the pain behind the mask

Kagome's teacher Miss Kaede noticed a bruise on Kagome's cheek as she was walking around the room looking at all the writings that her students did on their weekend but Kagome's paper was blank.

Bearing the burden of a secret storm

Sometimes she wishes she were never born

Kagome held back tears. 'It's my fault I was born. Not Daddy's. If I wasn't born Daddy wouldn't be mad' Kagome thought.

Through the wind and the rain

She stands hard as a stone

Kagome sat on a bench during recess under a large tree letting her tears fall. Then a boy with silver hair and a bandana walked up to her. "Hi, I'm Inuyasha. What's your name?" the boy asked. Kagome wiped away her tears and looked up. "Kagome." she answered.

And she flies to a place where she's loved

Concrete angel

"Kagome, do you have dreams?" Inuyasha asked. "Yeah. I want to be free." Kagome answered. Then the bell rang and everyone headed inside.

Somebody cries in the middle of the night

The neighbors hear but they turn out the lights

Kagome found out Inuyasha lived next door and they started talking. Inuyasha's mom told him to turn off the light. "Ok mom. Just let me say good night to my friend." Inuyasha called. When he turned to face Kagome's window Kagome's dad burst into Kagome's room and yelled at her for talking to Inuyasha. Inuyasha watched in horror as Kagome got beat. Then her dad threw Kagome across the room and she went limp. "Mom!" Inuyasha yelled. "Inuyasha, it was fate. She's safe now." Inuyasha's mom told him.

A fragile soul caught in the hands of fate

By morning it will be too late

Inuyasha's mom called 911 and Kagome's dad was arrested. The ambulance tried to revive Kagome but it was useless.

Through the wind and the rain

She stands hard as a stone

Inuyasha looked at Kagome's lifeless body as the paramedics carried her out of the house when it started to rain. Tears ran down Inuyasha's cheeks as he hugged his mom.

In a world she can't rise above

But her dreams give her wings

"Why?' Inuyasha asked his mom. "It was fate." his mom answered. "I hope her dreams turn to her wings." Inuyasha told his mom.

And she flies to a place where she's loved

Concrete Angel

"Kagome, I'll miss you." Inuyasha whispered.

A statue stands in a shaded place

An angel with an upturned face

Inuyasha bought a little angel smiling. "Why is she smiling?" his mom asked. "Because she's free." he answered

A name is written on a polished rock

A fragile soul the world forgot

Inuyasha stood in front of everyone at Kagome's funeral and smiled at her tombstone

Kagome Higurashi

1995-200

RIP

Then he walked through the crowd like a ghost

Through the wind and the rain

She stands hard as a stone

Kagome and Inuyasha smiled and hugged each other. "You were already dead?" Kagome asked. "Yeah. I had to watch over you till you died." Inuyasha said.

In a world she can't rise above

But her dreams give her wings

And she flies to a place where she's loved

Concrete Angel

"Time to go." Inuyasha told her as a brilliant golden light appeared. "Grandma!" Kagome exclaimed. "Come on." Inuyasha smiled as he grabbed her hand and they went into the light.

The End

A/N: To all the abused children in the world who couldn't be saved. RIP.
