If you listen closely when you are near the Higurashi shrine, screams of pain, hate and loneliness can be heard.

Kagome was curled up in a ball in her room, shivering, letting the blodd trickle down her face. A twisted ankle, headwound and cuts all over her body left her not only physically scarred, but emotinally as well. Another beating from her father took its toll.

'No!' Kagome shouted in her mind. 'He is NOT my father. I refuse to accept the fact that his blood runs through my veins.'

Kagome cleaned her wounds and looked at herself in the mirror.

Yeah..Kagome Higurashi. Her "father" Naraku was all she had left after her mother and brother were murdered.Shes 16 years old and goes to Shikon High school. Her best friends are Sango, Miroku and Inuyasha. Hm..Okay so that was abit of a lie. Her and Inuyasha wern't BEST friends, but they were friends. They would bump into each other every now and then, sometimes they'd talk. But oh, did she have a crush on him. Kagome usually dressed goth..she could express herself that way without getting beaten by her father. Her father would beat on her all because he was a stupid drunk.

'Damnit!' She mentally flipped herself off. 'Not your father! Hes just an asshole drunk and thats all!' Kagome then sighed and pulled out the first aid kit out from her bathroom cabnet. She applied some rubbing alcohol to her head wound and a roll up bandage on her ankle. It was going to be a hard night on getting to sleep and she'd have to come up with some good excuses for Sango and Miroku about her injuries. She lied down on her bed and looked at the celling for a little while.

"Fuck!" Kagome sat up immedally, then held her head in dizziness and lied back down slowly.

' I have work tomarrow at Club Pleasure..I'll have to cancle my plans with Sango and Miroku tomarrow..ugh..it won't be easy working tomarrow with this ankle..' Kagome thought. She works at a strip club. SHE HATES IT AND WANTS TO BURN DOWN THE GOD FORSAKEN PLACE. Sadly, her "father" signed her up for the job and it gives good pay for all her medical expenses, so she has no choice. She also is forced to pay for her own intution, since Naraku could care less.

She then closed her eyes and started to drift off in a deep sleep awaiting for what tomarrow may bring..
