A.N. Wow... at least i got one review. oh well, here's the next chapter.


Disclaimer: I do not own Stacie Oricco nor' her music.


Barred Window: Just a hole with bars over it. (might think it's a window with bars over it)


Chapter 2:


Sitting there on the uncomfortable mattress, in the depths of the 'Insane Asylum', was Kagome Higurashi. A girl who saw things.

With her un-cut, long, raven black hair that fell over her shoulders in an unruly way, and her chocolate brown eyes, you might not even able to tell she was supposed to be there.


Music. That was her savior.


After much ignoring, Kagome had finally gotten a portable cd player and a few cd's that consisted of Stacie Oricco, Eminem and Hoobastank.


Right at the moment she was listening to Stacie Oricco. How fitting were the lyrics to herself.


In a light cheery mood (very uncommon for her) she lied back and started singing to the song called, "Instead".


~I saw him shaking his change in a coffee cup,

~Asked for a dollar but I told the man to give it up

~Said he's hungry I don't think that it's true

~I bet my dollar he'd just spend it on booze

~I turned my back on him and began to walk away

~But than I heard a little voice inside me say

~What if it's really true what if he's hungry

~What if it's not for him, does he have a family

Kagome's voice blending perfectly, she walked over to the barred window, and looked outside to see the boy she had seen on the steps this morning. Sighing she leaned against the wall beside the window and looked out, continuing to watch the boy and sing.


~How'd you get here

~How'd you end up on the street

~Where did it go wrong

~Wonder what I do if it were me


~A new point of view

~A walk in your shoes

~I wish I could get inside your head

~To see what you see

~When you look at me

~Cause I could've lived your life instead


~It was 90 degrees in the summer heat

~She was veiled in black all the way down to her feet

~This is America doesn't she know

~Somebody take her shopping, buy her some cloths

~She came up to me, I didn't understand a word

~I was about to leave when another thought occurred

~She might be really lost, scared and frustrated

~I should try again to see what she's saying

~How'd you get here

~How'd you get so far from home

~What was it that made you leave

~Wonder what I'd do if it were me


Kagome turned off the cd player and sat it on the floor and looked outside, breathing in the air. The boy was long gone now, but she saw a few kids playing hopscotch.


"Look!" One of the kids' who had just gotten there pointed towards her.


"What is it?" The kid next to him questioned.


A boy who was a bit older than the rest threw a rock at the window almost hitting Kagome, but she dodged it and ducked down beside the window.



A.N. I'm stopping it there. Mwhahahhahahah!
