Imperfection

We all had our insecurities and problems but that was the one thing that keeps us so close. Our music was our voice and our voice was Imperfection.

XOX

It was cold even when I was sitting in a Subaru that had the heater on it was still cold. My family and I have been in this car for the past 2 hours taking a 'tour' of The Emerald City, Jet city, Rain City, The Gateway to Alaska or I'd like to simply put it, Seattle.

My new home.

My parents wanted a new start and I can really see why, my stupid ass Dad was recently incarcerated for selling drugs, and I mean the hardcore stuff- cocaine, ecstasy, meth, heroin- you name it he had it.

The thing is he was only sent for 8 months off some deal and was out early for 'good behavior'. I rolled my eyes when he came home and my Mom showered him with hugs and kisses.

The system in Minnesota officially kissed ass in my book.

Anyway the idea to move to Seattle came out of my Dad's empty head when he and my Mom were done 'talking', I was completely surprised that he was able to make a decision like that after spending hours rutting with my Mom but it happened. After weeks of negotiations with the judge and a lot of debts to pay we are now waiting to go to our new home.

A slight tap on my shoulder removed me from my thoughts. My younger brother, Souta, was patting his stomach and pouting like a dog. I laughed softly, he was a weird child. 14 years old, he was cute had a young face, ruffled dark brown hair, and bright hazel eyes.

"Dad can we stop somewhere to eat, Souta's hungry." I said to my dad who stopped talking animatedly to my Mom to turn his attention to me.

"Why didn't he ask me himself?" he looked at Souta through the mirror. "You have a mouth don't you boy!"

"He can't speak since he was hit with a soccer ball at his last game. You would have known that if you weren't so busy getting drunk." I replied harshly. I saw Souta shake his head a little but I chose to ignore his warning.

My mom turned around in her seat and narrowed her eyes at me. "Kagome! Now you know not to speak to your Father like that."

I rolled my eyes. "Sure. So how about the food?"

The car went right on a exit and my dad looked at me through the mirror. "We'll stop by Burger King then go home. I think the movers are done my now."

Souta cheered silently by jumping in his seat. I only smiled as I looked out the window to see the cityscape of Seattle.

"Ohh Haru it's beautiful!" My mom gushed as we got out of the car. My dad smirked as he wrapped his arms around my mom shoulders. "Best a guy on parole can buy. Has 4 bedrooms, 3 ½ baths, large living room with a fireplace, wood and marble kitchen, underground den, and a huge backyard with a balcony."

He looked at me. "I made sure to get the place near the forest just for you Kagome." I gave him a slight nod, the house was beautiful, mostly dark colored wood, the railing was white and the roof was shingled and layered upon each other. The porch was nice and spacey, and it had a two garage doors.

I could say that my dad did a pretty good job for once.

I walked inside the door and Souta ran right passed me and my dad went somewhere. The inside was even more grand, brown oak stairs on my right and the bright lights made the cream and brown colors stand out.

"Kagome come here!"

I followed the sound of my mom voice to a gorgeous kitchen. I walked in and my mom raised a finger at me. I leaned against the wall, wasn't she the one that called me. Hanging up the phone she looked at me with a bright smile on her face.

"You're going to Roosevelt High on Monday! I'm glad we were able to move now so close to the new semester." She stated happily, I looked at her bored. "Yeah, great…"

She looked at me incredulously. "Something the matter honey? You don't seem to be excited."

I sighed. "I just…why are we here? Why are we doing this taking in his gifts and forgetting what his done to us- to you mom." Her face changed from happy and ecstatic to knowing and distant.

"I know your father has done many things that weren't right, but he's trying Kagome especially with you." She said looking straight at me with her gray eyes.

I shook my head. "To me all this shit doesn't matter." I ran back to the front door not listening to my mom's cries, I kept running and running till I felt that I wasn't near my family anymore.

Never run out of your house when you just moved there.

You will get lost.

I took out my IPhone; I had 15 missed calls from my mom and 3 texts from Souta, man where they worried. Dad's probably throwing a fit right now.

Sighing I kept walking, the sounds of the forest calming my nerves. I turned a group of rocks and gasped at the sight, it was a lake. The sunset was making the lake look a reddish-orange and the night animals were coming out for a drink. I laughed like a child as two bunnies jumped and played over each other.

I sat down on a moss cover rock, not caring about my jeans and took in the scenery. The scene was at peace but I wasn't and the reason for that was my dad. He done so many horrible things that it makes me want to walk away from him all together but I can't. Souta and my mom are the only ones keeping me there with them.

When all of the shit started I was 12 years old, just getting into adult world but Dad wanted me to grow up more than I intended to. He ran an 'escort' business in a warehouse with some drunken friends not too far from my school. After the day was over I had to walk 5 blocks and wait there if no one was able to pick me up.

The women there were decent- some even nice to me. But one day when my dad was taking care of 'business' and I was doing my homework, mind you I was a good student , one of Dad's regular's took me to a room in the back. I was confused and slightly care and my innocent mind didn't thing he would do anything since I was his supplier's daughter.

I was wrong.

He raped me and my dad didn't find out till the man left happily. The whole drive home he was convincing me not to say anything to my mom and saying sorry over and over again. After that I didn't see him as a dad or a father- just a distrustful man living in my mom's house. I never sought out to see him or even communicate with him I just looked out for my mom and brother.

We still live the same town, well don't we?

But I don't see you around anymore.

I go to all the same places

Not even a trace of you.

Your days are numbered at 34.

The world around me slowed down as I sang, the river was silent and the animals seemed to listen to me.

And I'm getting bored waiting 'round for you.

We're not getting any younger.

And I won't look back 'cause there's no use.

It's time to move forward.

I feel no sympathy.

You live inside a cave

You barely get by, the rest of us are trying

There's no need to apologize

I've got no time for feeling sorry.

Exhaling deeply, I kept my eyes closed just taking in the moment of silence.

"You know it would sound so much better with guitar."

My eyes went wide, I got up and tried to search the person but all I saw was forest. "Up here." The deep voice said amused. I looked up and saw a 17 year old guy standing on a sturdy looking branch. He stared at me with amusement in his golden eyes- Wait golden?

H-He also had fangs, and claws, a-are those puppy ears and is his hair white?! I really hope I don't look freaked out on my face. But I probably do since Mr. mysterious golden eyes who stands in trees and stalk girl's smirk turned into a full out Cheshire cat grin.

"Uhh what do you want?" I called out awkwardly. He jumped down from the branch and landed without a scratch on him.

"You must be new around here. I've would have notice a chick like you."

"What do you mean a chick like me? What's wrong with me?!" I huffed.

Puppy ears only laughed as he took a few step closer to me. Which in return I took a few steps back, hey wouldn't you too if a attractive guy was stalking you.

No, oh well.

"Who said anything was wrong?" He said softly, I couldn't help but smile a bit. A bit I say.

"You wrote that yourself?" he asked.

"Wha-ohh yeah, long time ago though. "I sat back down on my moss rock trying to keep distance between us.

But he ruined that plan when he sat right next to me. "What else do you do besides write songs?"

I stared into the river, watching a few fish swim my. "Play guitar, piano an-" I stopped and looked at him weirdly, why was I telling him all of this anyway? I just met him- well more like he was stalking me….BUT THAT'S BESIDES THE POINT!

"Helloooo? Ya in there?" I shook my head lightly; he was looking at me with his dark brow raised. "Wha…"

"You spaced out on me chickie." I glared at him and left my rock to head back home. I've been doing that a lot lately huh? My chucks crunched beneath the left behind leaves and rocks, moments later I came face to face with a 8 foot fallen tree that way blocking my way.

Why didn't I notice this before?

Sighing I put my foot on the side and started to prop myself up, I grunted when I felt my foot slip on a rock. Hurrying to get on the other side I grabbed a branch that looked sturdy, I pulled myself up and I was almost over till I heard a dreaded snapped and underwent gravity pulling me down. I braced myself cause I knew this was gonna hurt like hell.

But I didn't feel pain or heard me scream like a little five year old that couldn't find their mommy.

Instead I felt a strong arm wrapped around my waist and pulled my body forward. I gasped till there was no more movement. I heard a deep chuckle go through the hair. "You can let go now."

I only opened on eye and saw I was on the other side of the tree, I then looked up to see puppy ears smirking at me. "You ok chickie?"

I pushed myself away from him. "Uhh yeah…" I felt my face heat up. "Thanks for…..ummm helping me."

He shoved his hands in his pocket, "It was nothing really, but you are heavier than you look." I pushed him lightly and he laughed as we walked. The sun had went down by now and it was dark but the moon made the forest mystic.

HNZZZ HNZZZZ HNZZZZZ

I pulled out my phone; it was Mom. I sighed as I answer it. "Yes?"

"Where are you?! Your father and I are worried and it's already after dark!"

"I'm fine mom thanks for asking and don't worry I'm coming home now." I saw one of puppy ear's ears twitch, his ass better not be listening.

"Yes it's her…I don't know where she is but she said she's coming home…no don't….HARU!" There was a crumpling noise on the line. "Kagome! Who the hell gave you th-"

I hit end not wanting to hear his voice, I bet when I get home his gonna give me hell. "My god,"

"Parents?"

"Try parent, Dad's my own little hell." I grumbled as I put my phone back in my pocket. I turned to him, "Well it was delightful meeting you- saving me from an concussion and stalking me- but its seems that I have to get going."

I began walking but then an important alarm went off in my head. You don't know the way home dumbass. Great stuck in the woods is so freaking great especially at night. "Just freakin' great."

"You don't know where you're going." Puppy ears stated teasingly, I glared at him. "And what does it matter to you. You can leave any time you know."

"Yeah but I just can't just leave you alone in a forest like this one. Especially one with demons." I looked at him scared and trust me I never get scared easily.

"S-So there demons here?" I mentally cursed myself for my squeaky voice, he nodded his head. "Well you know I never like walking by myself anyway, I live on N. Redwood."

Puppy eyes snickered as he grabbed me by my waist and soon everything around me turned into a blur, I shut my eyes tight and grabbed his shirt to keep myself from falling. I heard the ruffle of leaves and puppy ear's light breathing as he moved. Moments later I didn't hear anything at all on the wind, I opened my eyes and we were floating! I could see downtown Seattle and my neighborhood that was closing in. I laughed excitedly as puppy ears went down to take another leap of a tree.

"Is that it?" He shouted, I nodded and we floated down in the side of the dirt road.

"That was amazing." I breathed out puppy ears shook his head as he laughed. "You're weird for a human."

"You're a demon huh." I stated more than asked, his golden eyes turned dark for a moment.

"No more like half-demon." I looked at him with wide eyes, I've seen half demons before but none like him. I shrugged making my shock go away. "Well thanks for the ride I'll uhhh se you around."

"Inuyasha."

I looked back at him. "What?" He shoved his hands in his pockets. "That's my name chickie, what's yours?"

I gave him a small smile. "Kagome," He nodded then ran into the forest. I don't know why but I had a goofy smile on my face. I walked up to my house and was greeted with a warm welcome.

"Kagome you are in so much trouble missy! You scared me and your mom half to death with this little runaway act! I'm not gonna have it…" I droned out his voice as I walked up the stair and shut the door to what I assumed was my room. I kicked of my shoes, through my jacket on the floor, and crawled into the bed and pulled the soft comforter over my head. Soon sleep entered my body.

'Inuyasha huh?'

Don't forget to R&R ;)
