Chapter 1

She had just finished her homework and was just starting on a late dinner. She had no idea what was taking her two roommates but it didn't matter, she knew that when they got home they would be hungry and she had to have dinner ready. It was her second year in college and so far it was going alright. She was a nursing major and hated every minute of it. It had been her mother's wish and had demanded she go to medical school just because of her high spiritual powers. In truth she had wanted to be major in music. She had taken lessons as a child and in high school behind her mother's back and nothing had ever come from it. In truth she had found that she would have been a lot happier doing anything other than being a nurse. Hell, she was pretty sure that the only reason her mother wanted her to be a nurse was so that she could work where if her roommate wouldn't find a job. He was going to become a doctor.

Oh right, she was engaged, not because she loved the man…well she loved him a bit but it wasn't like she was that much in love with him. Her mother had also made it so that she was in an arranged marriage. His name was Hojo, he was a year older then her and had always liked her since high school. How her mother had known was beyond her since she rarely spoke with her mother but it was something she hadn't felt the need to think over so much now that she was in her second year in college and engaged to the guy. Right now he was out with her other roommate which happened to be is best friend. Why her mother would even allow her to live with two men before she was even married to her fiancée was beyond her but it was something that she would never question…not after what her mother had promised her; what she would do if she disappointed her.

But enough about her past, and about what she had lost, time could never move backwards, only forwards…for now she would cherish her memories, she would stay in touch with her best friends and she would live her life to the fullest so that she would have no regrets…well no more regrets then the ones she had been forced to have by her mother. Just as she had finished making dinner, Kagome turned to the opening door as she said, "It's about time you two got home, any longer and I would have started eating on my own. I have rounds to do in five hours and I want to get at least some sleep this time."

"Sorry, we were just finishing up some studying…what you make?" Hojo asked as he walked over to her.

"Something simple…now hurry up." Kagome ordered as she turned her back to him and began to serve them.

"Fine…be that way." Hojo stated as he turned to face his best friend before adding, "She's in one of her moods."

"Um…seems like we'll just have more fun." He answered as he closed and locked the door behind him.

"If you're going to be playing games again I'm going to…" Kagome began to say only to trail off as she turned around only to be met by the lust filled gazing that they were giving her. It had been at that moment that she had noticed the strong scent of alcohol that was coming off of the two men.

"What's wrong dear?" Hojo asked in a sweet and husky voice as he walked over to her.

"Nothing…I'm tired…I'm going to bed." Kagome quickly answered as she placed the plates down before turning to walk to her room.

"Oh come on Kag's…just join us…let's sit down and eat."

"Shut up Haku! You are not one of my closest friends and you never will be. Besides, only my best friends can call me that." Kagome hissed out in pure rage as she began to make her way to her room.

"Come on Kagome…he's just joking around…come here." Hojo stated in a stern voice.

"No…the two of you are nothing more than drunken idiots and I'm not going to stick around for this shit. I'm going to bed…unlike you idiots I have finals to worry about…" Kagome hissed out as she pulled free and backed away.

"Looks like she finally grew a pair Hojo," Haku was heard as he appeared at her side while blocking her way.

"Back off Haku," Kagome hissed out in anger as she tried to pull away from the two boys. 'This can't be happening…Sango…Rin…Ayame…help me…'

"Come here Kagome…I'm your future husband and I want you now." Hojo growled out as he began to undo her shirt.

"Get away from me!" Kagome roared in anger as she used her miko powers to push them away from herself.

But before they could even get the chance to try to trap her again, Kagome made a run for it to her room. As soon as she had closed the door behind herself she locked it and began to pack what she could while searching for one of the gifts that Sango and Ayame had gotten her. Just as she had found the pepper spray, Kagome turned fear filled eyes toward the door as she heard it crack. Just as she had reached her dresser, Kagome was pulled back and thrown onto the bed as Hojo growled out, "You've put out before…now I'm going to give Haku an early birth day present and you're going to help me."

"Don't hurt her…I want her to scream for me." Haku was heard as he walked over to them.

"No! I've put up with your shit long enough! Just get away from me!" Kagome cried out in pain, anger, and rage as Hojo roughly ripped her shirt open while cutting her bra off of her.

"Careful Hojo, I don't want damaged goods." Haku growled out in lust as he began to remove his pants.

"Don't worry; even damaged this girl can rock your world." Hojo was heard as he turned to face Kagome.

As soon as she had seen her chance she took it, Kagome sprayed the pepper spray into Hojo's eyes before kicking him in the balls. Before Haku could get a good hold on her, Kagome drove for her dresser and reached for the dagger that her two friends had given her. Just as Haku had taken hold of her ankle, Kagome had spun around and had dug the now miko fill dagger into the demons hand. As soon as her powers had begun to make work of his demon blood, he pulled back while leaving his claw marks on her skin.

Already having been used to the sharp pain, Kagome slowly stood up as she reached for her bath robe and car keys. Before Hojo or Haku could say a word, Kagome let out a heart retching scream as she slapped Hojo across the face while blasting Haku against the wall. As he struggled to stand up, Hojo looked up at Kagome and said, "You're still mine…when your mother brings you back you'll wish you would have just listened to me."

"I'm never coming back you bastard…and I'm not going to my mother…you and your bastard of a friend better pray that I don't kill you myself once I've calmed down." Kagome whispered in a dazed and sad voice.

"Bitch…I'll fucking kill you first." Haku growled as he stood up and charged at her.

"No!" Kagome roared as she tried to use the dagger to keep him at bay.

As Haku pinned her to the floor Kagome struggled with all of her might as she tried to get free. Just as Haku had managed to slide into her and just as he started to thrust into her, Kagome had finally found the strength she needed to get free. Before anyone could even grab her again, Kagome jumped out her bed room window, ran to her car and locked herself in as she tried to get her emotions under control. Just as she had heard her two roommates coming after her, Kagome threw her engagement ring out of the window and drove out of the parking lot like a bat out of hell.

She had no money, no phone, no way of getting a hold of someone that could help her, that would help her. Not like she needed any of those things, she knew where she was going and where she could and would be helped. The only thing she needed to worry about now was about blood loss and making sure that she didn't pass out while driving to Tokyo. 'I can't live there anymore…I don't want to…I'm doing what I want…I will turn back time…Sango…Rin…Ayame…please don't hate me.' Kagome thought as she allowed her tears to floor as free as the blood that poured out of her wounds.
