Chapter 2: The Boy who Came back to Me
Kagome's prov./Next Morning
Beep! Beep! Beep!
I turn off my alarm clock without taking my eyes off of the ceiling.
'I got no sleep at all' I thought to myself, my eyes still fixed on the ceiling. I slowly sit up, trying not to re-open the wounds from last night.
"Ah!" I whine in a soft voice. 'It hurts more than normal' I think as I try and stand, but
instead I end up falling to my knees, hard. I look down at my knees to see new bruises over the
old ones and see that the wounds from the knife had re-opened. I try agin to get up,
slowly and unsteady. After I got my balance I walked slowly to the bathroom on the left side of
my room. I look in the mirror and looked at the purple bruise that had formed on my right
check from last night. I took a quick shower, almost falling, because of the pain, and began to cry.
After the shower I quickly cleaned and bandaged the new wounds, got dressed in my usual blue
jeans and black hooded sweater, grabbed my bag, and walked downstairs. As I walked past the
living room I found my dad passed out on the couch.
'Why?' I think to myself as I walk out the door to go to school.

Not Here
Everywhere I turn I see your dark eyes
Can't hide from this anymore!
It's eating away at me!
Drowning me in sorrow!
Your not here!
Your not real!
Your in my past!
So stay there! (x2)
Darkness has fallen once agin...
Showing the emptiness inside of me...
I can still here your voice...
Telling me to disappear! (disappear x3)
Your tearing me apart from the inside!
You can't just leave me alone!
I'm running out of places to hide!
I can't escape your lies! (Lies x2)
Your words price me like daggers!
My heart is bleeding!
My body is bleeding!
Death! Take me away from this pain1
Your not here!
Your not real!
Your in my past!
So stay there! (x2)
I'm laying on this dark floor..
You appear before me...
Laughing like it's a joke...
I'm glad you LOVE MY PAIN!
I HATE YOU!
You'll never understand what you did!
How you hurt me with your damn lies!
Get away from me NOW! (Now x2)
Your ripping me to shreds!
You stabbed me over and over!
Get away...
Get away...
GET AWAY NOW!
Your not here!
Your not real!
Your in my past so stay there! (X2)
I lay on this dark floor alone...
My body drained of blood...
Can't put the pieces together...
My life is slowly slipping away...
I'll make sure my ghost haunts you when my body is gone...
Even after death your lies replay in my head!

School
"Hey! Kagome!" I hear a familiar voice call to me. I look up to see Sango waving her hand
in the air at the front gates to school.
"Hey" I reply with a soft smile as I approach her. Her eyes drifted from my eyes to the
bruise on my check and back to my eyes. "I fell going upstairs last night." I say with a smile,
trying to re-sure her that I was fine. She lifted one brow and I said "I'm fine don't worry," with
another soft smile. 'She can't find out.... even though I know she's right with her suspicion' I think
to myself as Sango and I begin to walk to class togther.
Class
As Sango and I enter class everyone watches us walk to our seats. I can feel their evil glares
and it makes me feel uneasy. We continue to our desks, that happen to be right next to each other.
"She's got another bruise" one student whispers to another.
"I bet she did that herself, so she can get attention." the other student replied.
Sango looks at me with a sympathetic look and I reassure her with a soft smile. She mouths
"I'm sorry". But before I can answer her back someone had stepped between us. I look up to see
non-other than Kikyo, with her evil smile and narrowed eyes.
"Well, well. Look who has a new bruise. Heh. Your so pathetic. No one will ever want you.
Your so stupid and ugly, you just CRY attention." Kikyo laughs evilly as she points out my faults.
Then she bends down to my ear. "You better stay away from Inuyasha! He's mine! He well never
want you, you piece of fucking trash" She says in my ear. I can hear the evil in her voice and I can
feel her glare. She stands up and smiles nicely and walks away. I look at Sango who has a shocked
look on her face, but before she starts to talk the bell rings and the teacher starts to talk.
After School on the Way Home
After saying goodbye to Sango, I continue to walk home by myself. I replay in my head
what Kikyo had said earlier today. She knows I have liked Inuyasha since we were in middle
school. Inuyasha and I haven't really hung out much , since my mom died a year and a half
ago. I lost contact with all my friends because of Kikyo spread lies to get me by myself, but Sango
didn't believe a one. She stayed by me through everything and still does. As I approach my
driveway I pause. His car was in the drive, well in the grass actually. "He's been drinking" I think
to myself after I see his car in a new spot than this morning.
Crack!
I hear footsteps come toward me and I whip around to see who it is. My eyes widened to
see that its non-other than Inuyasha.
"I-Inuyasha" I stutter from the shock to see him here.
"Kagome....ah. What happened to your check?!" Inuyasha says in shock after seeing the
bruise on my check.
"I-it's nothing" I reply back to him.
"Don't listen to anything Kikyo says to you and be careful, she seems really pissed at you."
Inuyasha says back to me. I nod to re-sure him I understand.
"Do you want to tell me how you got that bruise?" he asks me. I just stare at the ground.
"Kagome...did your dad hit you?" he asks his question but in a different way. My eyes widened
with fear that he knows. "He does, doesn't he?" He asks agin. I lift up my head so I can stare him
in the eyes. "I know he does, Kagome. I was walking by last night and I heard him yelling at you.
So I went to the window and saw him cut you with a knife and then he walked away and left you
on the floor, bleeding". Before I could stop myself I nod yes and tears stream down my face.
Inuyasha wraps his arms around me to comfort me and says "I'm so sorry Kagome. I'm sorry."
