Chapter 1: Bruises and Teachers
Kagome sat up on her bed feeling her gashes and cuts on her arms legs and torso sting with the movement but she knew that now was not the time to be worrying about her most recent of wounds she received from her feather's brutal beating just the night before. So she crawled out of bed and slipped on a plain baggy black bunny hug and baggy blue jeans to cover any scares, burses, and gashes that might have shown if she wore only a T-shirt.
Cringing as she put on her clothing she looked to her alarm clock that read 6:30 am. on it and went out of her room and down the hallway she noticed as she went the blood that stained the walls and floor leading to the bathroom right across the hall from her room. She continued on trying not to look or think about how much blood had been spilt and concentrated on keeping quiet as to not wake up her so called 'family' .
Just as she came down the stairs she quickly and quietly made her way to the kitchen to grab a bite to eat and then high tail it out of the house and get to school. Now it wasn't that she liked school so much that she just had to get there early it was the fact that her 'family' weren't exactly morning people and if she happened to be home when they woke up lets just say she wouldn't be going to school at all much less being there early or for that matter on time at all.
Kagome made herself a few pieces of toast and buttered them and as soon as she was done she grabbed her big yellow back pack and left the house quietly closing the door behind her and started to jog her way to school. It usually took her 20 minutes to get there walking but if she jogged all the way she could be there in 10 and wouldn't need to worry about any bullies coming out to pick on her even though she knew that at this time there wouldn't be any but non the less she jogged there anyway just to paranoid to slow down 'just in case' she thought as she continued down the long street that lead to her school.
When her school came into view she slowed her pace to a fast walk ignoring the scream of her muscles and the constant sting of her most resent of injuries the worst of it being long deep gashes on her stomach back and one on her leg and other smaller cuts on various places on her body along with large black and blue burses on her shoulders and back and abdomen.
Kagome made it to school in near record timing she had beaten the quire teacher that usually arrives a bit before herself. The quire teacher had once asked her why she always came so early in the morning when she didn't attend quire or band class that usually took place during the early morning but Kagome just said she always like being at school early to get some extra work done that she didn't have time to do at home which wasn't a complete lie. Oh no she could do it at home she just couldn't because after her usual beating she had to clean up the mess clean up her self and bandage her injuries so no one would notice.
Kagome made her way to the library after going to her locker and getting the books she needed since she had about and hour and a half before school started she decided to do the work she didn't take home with her. Kagome had long ago given up trying to do her work at home so she jest left it at school and did her home work in the morning when she had the time to her self.
Soon after finishing her home work she realised she still had half an hour before classes started she looked out the window and decided it would be nice to sit in the tree out front on the school property. Getting up out of the chair she cringed as the pain shot through her body at the fast motion. Thankfully not many people were in the library and no one noticed she again started to make her way out side to sit in the tree but slowly this time.
Leaving the library she saw that her best and only friend coming her way and she put on her usual false smile and waved. "Hey Kagome" He said and smiled back. Sesshomaru the coolest and hottest not to mention the coldest guy in the whole school or so most people said but Kagome knew better because she could always see through the mask he wears and she can tell when he's happy or upset about something.
Right now she found him to be content and knew nothing had happened yet to ruin his day. "So what are you doing her so early Kagome?" He asked obviously trying to make small talk with her. Kagome just laugh and replied "Sesshomaru you know I'm always here early" Sesshomaru just looked at her blankly and said "that doesn't mean you have ever told me why you're here so early every day." Kagome sighed "Oh well you know just to get some extra work done just to busy to do it at home." Sesshomaru looked at her sceptically and sied "Yea sure what ever you say Kagome." Not truly convinced. He knew she was lying but he never pushed the matter even if he felt that he should have.
The just looked at each other for a moment before Kagome broke the silence and said "Hey I was just headed out over to the big tree what to come with me?" Kagome hoped that he would say yes she could use a bit of company and maybe some one to keep the bullies away from her not that she used Sesshomaru to do so its just that Sesshomaru also had the reputation for his strength. Sesshomaru had some how been captivated by her dazzling blue eyes before he realised she was talking to him and quickly snapped out of his daze he quickly recovered up and said "I would love to but I still have a little bit of research and righting to do on my English paper I accidentally left my stuff here on Friday and didn't completely finish it. I'm really sorry maybe another time?" He asked looking a little regretful that he couldn't join her out side.
"Oh no that's alright you go ahead and finish your paper. Maybe some other time then. Later." She made her way back out side it was a nice warm day not to warm though just perfect weather to lounge in a tree and even possibly relax. She made her way closer and closer to the tree but before she could get there, there he was the boy that made her school day living hell coming out of no where and standing right in front of her. Kagome scowled and growled out "What to you want basterd." "Oooo touchy this morning are we?" he taunted and his gang he usually hung out with burst into a fit of laughter. His gang consisted of Kikyo, Miroku, Sango, Naraku, Kouga, Kaugra, and the smaller little boy Shippo. "I only came to check and see how my favourite punching bag was dong this morning" Inuyasha said and smirking after sending his friends into more fits of laughter.
Kagome just glared at Inuyasha and said "Just leave me the fuck alone I don't feel like being bother by your presence today so just go the fuck away and leave me alone for once" She growled. Inuyasha laughed "oh and who's going to make me bitch? I can see my oh so precious half brother isn't here to protect you so guess that means no one considering the lack of friends you have I doubt that any one would help a wench like you." He said continuing to taunt her.
Giving a deep sigh she turned and with out looking at him she replied "Not now Inuyasha I'm not up for a game of beat the shit out of Kagome today so just lay off" and started walking. Inuyasha looked puzzled at her and grabbed her wrist and turned her around harshly and yelled in her face "YOU DON'T LEAVE UNLESS I TELL YOU TO BITCH! YOU GOT THAT!" and before she could protest Inuyasha given her, a solid punch to the gut hitting the same place her father had slashed with the knife the night before. Kagome gave a grunt and fell to the ground out of breath then feeling another solid hit to her back from Inuyasha's foot kicking her. She took a large intake of breath and crumpled into the fatal position wincing, grunting, and yelping as Inuyasha and his friends started to gang up on her.
After a wile Inuyasha had stopped a little out of breath and laughed after looking at his handy work and called his friends off. Kagome ever so slowly made her way into a standing position with even more black and blue bruises then before and a fresh one on her left cheek from a swift kick she had received only a moment ago but she did not cry she never did and vowed that she never would. Inuyasha just laughed some more "You pathetic piece of shit your not even worth my time" Also noting the fact in his mind that yet again she didn't cry like he thought she would.
Inuyasha then left and his gang went with him. Kagome sighed with relief that they were gone but thought grudgingly that they could have at least done her the favour of at least killing her. She had thought of it before and how wonderful death would be and how no one could hurt her ever again but could not for some reason ever be able to kill herself she knew she was better then that she was stronger then that and knew it and refused that she herself would be the reason of her death. So she continued everyday not necessarily the same routine but usually similar to nearly an everyday episode.
Feeling too tired to be able to clime the tree she made her way to sit just next to it. She had already collected her scattered belongings and put them all back in her bag she took out her sketch book and began drawing one of the few pictures in her memory of her family her real family the one with her kind and caring mother and her father when he was happy they were all happy that is until her mother died and her father became a drunk and beat her and remarried some bitch that hated and hit her for no apparent reason.
Kagome sat there by the tree till she heard the 10 minute bell and quietly made her way to class. Entering class she made her way to the back of the class room and sat down not looking or talking to the students that were now starting to flow into the room one by one making there way to there desks. Eventually she spotted her only friend making his way towards her, he sat down in the desk just beside her and faintly smiled at her so no one ells would notice but Kagome "Hey Kago-…" his eyes went slightly larger and he stopped in mid greeting after seeing the great black and blue swell on her left cheek "What the hell happened to you Kagome!" "hum nice to see you too Sesshomaru" She retorted sarcastically "Kagome I mean it what happened?". Kagome sighed for the millionth time that day and just said "It's nothing you need to worry about". Sesshomaru didn't buy it and was now pressing for details but before he could the teacher came into the class "All right class time to settle down now" Sesshomaru turned back to Kagome and whispered quietly to her "After class Kagome I expect you to tell me what happened and I'm not going to let you just brush me off again Kagome." And turned back to the teacher and listened to the lecture. Kagome looked at her blank sheets of paper and thought 'ding saved by the teacher… well at least for now'
