Trip Of Locks and Rosette Chapter 1"Winter Break's Plan"

Kagome cried as she laid on the floor in pain. Tear's poured down her pale cheek's. Her mother stood over her with a red face. Her fist red from beating on Kagome. Kagome got up, and ran up to her room.

Anami glared as she ran up the stair's holding her arm in pain. Kagome slammed the door beyond her. A deep gash was on her arm. Her mother had cut her with a knife out of frustration. Kagome put a big bandaid on it,pulled down her sleeve,grabbed her back pack,then opened the window.

She jumped out the window,grabbed her skateboard,and ran down the street. As she ran she got ont her board. Kagome wiped her tear's as the school appeared. She forgot her eye's would be red from crying. She was super late.

Kagome got her pass, then ran to class. When she walked in her bestfriend's Sango,Miroku, and Inuyasha looked at her worried. She gave her teacher a pass then sat in the back. Kikyo rolled her eye's at her. She got her notepad out, and avoided everyone's concerned eye's.

Mrs.Gale sneered"Now that I am not being disturbed by someone's tardy I'll get back to what I was saying"

Kagome glared at her desk as tear's burned her eye's. She watched as blood roll down her arm and to the floor. She jumped, and hid her arm under her desk.

"Ms.Higurashi!To your feet!"yelled Ms.Gale walking toward the desk.

Kagome stood up. She slid her feet against the pale floor. The blood disappeared.

Ms.Gale leaned toward her ear"Wait in the hall for me"

Kagome pushed past the teacher,and walked out the classroom. Everyone as quiet. Kikyo rolled her eye's irritated.

"I expect you all to be doing your work when I come back"she sneered then walked out.

She walked out the room,and slammed the door behind her. Sango,Miroku,Inuyasha,Kikyo,and you know the rest. They huddled up against the door. They listened carefully.

Ms.Gale's gaze softened"Why are you bleeding,Kagome?"

"I fell"whispered Kagome looking at the floor with the tear's.

Remebering about when her mother cut her. For telling Miroku her mother had been beating her ever since her father died. When she was only 3. Ms.Gale shook her head.

Ms.Gale sighed"I won't buy your lies.Either you tell me...or I report this to DSS"

"NO!"yelled Kagome looking up in fear.

Ms.Gale whispered"Well?"

"I told you I fell!"yelled Kagome getting pissed off.

Ms.Gale shook her head once again"Very well then.DSS it is"

"Do what you want...you won't get any evidence.I guarantee you"whispered Kagome sadly.

Kagome walked back in soon as everyone got to their seats. She shook her head in anger. Turning red in embarrassement. She walked to her seat. Kagome slept the rest o the class.

Ms.Gale allowed her too as well.

End Of The Day

Kagome looked at the permission ship as she walked home. Her board hanging in her unbrusied arm's. She heard foot step's running up behind her, but continued to walk.

Sango asked"Are you going to the trip up in the mountains,Kagome?"

"My mom probably will say no"sighed Kagome folding the paper.

Inuyasha asked"Kagome...what's going on?"

"Nothing"whispered Kagome looking at Miroku sadly.

Miroku asked"Why won't you tell them,Kagome?"

"No!It was a mistake telling you!"yelled Kagome dropping her board, and riding away.

Inuyasha growled"Kagome!Stop hiding your secret's!I'll find out one way or another!"

"I don't care anymore!"yelled Kagome.

Higurashi Manison

Kagome walked in. There was a slam in the kitchen. She didn't notice Inuyasha,Sango, and Miroku followed. They were now looking threw a window unnoticed.

Anami called walking in"Dammit, Kagome!I've got thousand of call's from DSS!Did you tell anyone!?"

She grabbed her arm angerly. Kagome winced. Tear's began to fall.

"No!I swear!She was questioning me!Please don't!"whispered Kagome pulling her arm lightly.

Anami dropped her arm. In frustration. She glared into Kagome's hazel eye's. That reminded her so much of her father,Keneth. She shook her head.

Kagome took out th paper"I...I was wondering if...if I could go to t-

"What is this!?"she yelled snatching the paper out her hand.

Her eye's scanned over tha white sheet of paper. She was about to rip it.

Kagome screamed"No!Please!Let me do something this once!"

Miroku was slightly red at this. Inuyasha as well. Sango was crying silently. Miroku had his arm around her. Anger, and saddness had flickered threw all of their eye's.

"Are you rising your voice at me?!"yelled Anami grabbing Kagome's hair angerly.

She yanked down. They all pulled away as Kagome was being pulled into the kitchen. The next thing they heard was screaming, and sobbing. Inuyasha stomped to the door, and knocked loudly. Everything became silent.

Anami was at the door. She smiled up at Inuyasha. Her eye's showed she was guilty. He heard stifled sob's in the background.

Inuyasha asked"Is Kagome here?"

"Uh...why yes.She's a bit busy at the moment"she smiled with clenched teeth.

Miroku, and Sango came up soon after. Luckily her eye's weren't red.

Sango asked"Whose tha crying?"

"Oh...you won't believe this at all.I caught Kagome cutting herself just today.Kagome!Come here!"she said almost relieved to come up with a stragedy.

Kagome walked in the room. She was still crying. Kagome looked once at them and ran up the stair's.

Anami called"Kagome!" She said with a warning voice that quickly changed,but was dark, and violent. "Don't be so rash to your friend's now"

She walked back down the stair's and stood by her mother. She looked only Inuyasha in the eye. Anami pinched Kagome's back.

"I'm sorry.I guess I haven't gotten over m.my father's death yet.I...c..can't promise you I'll stop"stammered Kagome half sobbing.

Sango asked"We were wondering if she were going to the mountain's with us.If she will not be...may I ask why?"

"Oh my dear Sango!I wouldn't dare keep Kagome from such an...adventurous trip!"she said looking bewildered.

Inuyasha asked"Oh so she'll go?"

"Why yes...I..Inuyasha"she stammered with fear at his 'going red' eyes.

He pulled Kagome into a hug. She hugged him back tightly. To show she was in grave pain. Anami's jaw tightened. Sango smiled awkwardly at Anami.

Miroku just stood there. Looking at her.

Anami smiled"Kagome,dear...I won't be back until tommorow.Here...I sighed it for you"

Inuyasha took it for her. Anami smiled. Then it faded then returned.

"Today is indeed Friday.The bus will be here to pick us up Sunday.So...-

Anami jumped"Oh dear.Shoot.I forgot I have to go out of town.I bet Joy is quite angry at me.I should go pack my thing's.You might not see my leave"

"So be it"hissed Inuyasha.

Anami nodded"Mhm.Kagome...may I speak with you in my room?"

Kagome pulled away. Anami took Kagome's hand, and walked into her room. Inuyasha's dog ear's listened.

Anami slammed the door. She threw Kagome down onto the bed. Anami paced the room.

"I'm going to let you go.DO you hear, but when you come back...we'll finish out...'activity' "she said with a solemn face.

Kagome whispered"I-

"No word from you,you hear?I won't be home until those brat of a friends of yours leave."she sneered angerly.

Kagome stood"Their already suspicious,Mum"

"I told you once, and I'll tell you again.If I find out they know...I'll kill you.Then myself!Where ever you are I will be watching"she sneered yanking her throbbing sore arm foreward.

Anami threw some clothing in a bag, and left out the back door. Kagome let some tear's slip. Inuyasha hugged her once again. Sango rubbed her back.

Miroku whispered"Your mom use to be the sweetest woman I ever knew."

"My father...died...before our eyes,Miroku.What did you expect to ha-

Miroku spat"I expected that she did what my mom did!Realize her responsibilty, and then take tyerapy!"

"My mum isn't your mum,Miroku!"yelled Kagome burying her face in Inuyasha's dark blue shirt.

Inuyasha whispered"Cut it out Miroku.Why don't you guy's head on home.We'll see you guy's Sunday"

"What about Kikyo,Inuyasha?"aske dSango with a smug face.

Inuyasha snorted"That whore can screw Naraku for all I care?"

"Alrighty then...let's go Miroku"she said taking his hand, and leaving.

Kagome looked up at him"I'm sorry I didn't tell you.I was just so scared!"

"Sh,Kagome.Dom't even worry about it.I promise you...she won't hurt you again"he vowed.

Kagome relaxed in his arm's. They went to sit down. He bandaged her arm, and they watched TV. She looked up at him more than ten times. He smirked down at her then kissed her forehead to confort her. Kagome, and Inuyasha soon fell asleep.
