ALRIGHT GUYS THIS IS A LONG CHAPTER... IN MY OPINION. INUYASHA WILL COME IN THE NEXT CHAPTER. COMMENT PLEASE. IT WILL GET BETTER. :)

My mind was in a daze as I rubbed my eyes. I looked at the sky and saw the moon. My eyes immediately flew to my watch. 11:14 pm.

"Son of a bitch." I grabbed my bag and ran down the stairs of the gym, and sprinted home.

'If I'm lucky, everyone will be sleeping..' I thought as I prayed for it to be true.

By the time I got to the apartment complex, I was out of breath. I panted and took the time to prepare myself for the stairs to my door. I sighed and slowly walked up the stairs, taking my keys out of my bag. When I placed my key in the door knob, I already heard the screams and shouts.

"Fuck."

My nerves bundled up but I ignored the feeling and opened the door. The two faces looked at me. My mom and her new boyfriend.

"Where the fuck have you been?" My mom got off the couch and headed over to me. I shut the front door and seen tons of liquor bottles and beer cans.

"I was at school. Ended up falling asleep." There was no point in lying. She slapped my face and I let out a small shriek.

"Go to your room, your grounded!" She yelled.

I walked to the dining room and set my bag down. I heard my mom and her man arguing, completely ignoring me.

"Where's Yuki?" I looked around for my little sister, feeling dumb. She was probably hiding in my room.

"Didn't your mom tell you to get your ass in the room?" He yelled.

"Don't talk to my daughter like that!" I never knew this man's name, but the sound of a loud smack made me hate him. My mom fell to the ground, crying.

"Come on bitch, get up!" He grabbed her hair.

"Get the fuck off her!" I bit back tears as I ran towards this guy and pushed him off my mother. I tackled him to the ground and punched him with all my force in his face. My fist hit his mouth, and my knuckles throbbed in pain. Soon the pain left when I felt a fist punch my face, forcing me to the ground.

Did he really just punch me?

More tears begged to come out but when he grabbed my shirt, forcing me up, I felt anger. I heard a Sharp cry and knew it was Yuki.

"Ayumi!" My mom pulled me away from her boyfriend. "Go to your room, take your sister!"

I looked at Yuki and saw her crying, hugging her knees.

"God mom, date someone who isn't a lowlife! He made Yuki cry!" I scream as I walk over to Yuki, picking her up and carrying her on my hip.

"Go!" I carried Yuki to my room and heard my mom muttering to him asking if he was okay.

I don't care if they touch me, but at least don't let the 5 year old see it. I sat her on my bed, trying to calm her down.

"Shhh.. its okay Yuki. Everythings gonna be okay.."

It was hard to comfort someone, and pretend like you were okay. To be honest, I was on a fine line of crashing down. But I couldn't.

Her cries slowly turned to quiet sobs.

"Want to leave?"

Her eyes poured into mine. I could see fear and sadness.

"Can we?" She asked. I nod.

"I need to get moms cell phone though so you stay here, okay?"

She nods and cuddles up to her pink stuffed bunny. I opened the door and quietly snuck out of my room and walked down the hall. I could hear them still arguing as I reached for my moms purse behind the couch. Yes, I was crawling on the floor. I reached in and grabbed the phone and crawled back to the hallway.

"What the fuck are you doing!" A deep voice yelled.

I got up and ran to my room, locking the door. I sighed and saw Yuki staring at me. I punched in the number of one person who would help me at this time.

"Hello?"

I sighed in relief when I noticed I didn't wake him up.

"Saito?" I cursed at myself for allowing my voice to crack.

"Ayumi, are you okay? What's up?" He asked me in a worried tone.

I took a few deep breaths before I answered. "Can you.. can you come pick us up?" My voice showed fear, even though I didn't want it to.

"Yeah of course.. it'll be a few minutes," I could hear him grab his keys.

"Will you be okay until I get there?"

"Yeah.. I have Yuki with me-" a loud bang made me jump, and I shot my attention to my door.

"I'm on my way." He must have heard the bang.

"I'm gonna pack Yuki's stuff, call me when your here." I Hung up my phone and hurried to my closet. I grabbed her little yellow backpack that I saved whenever things like this happened.

"Ayumi.." I looked over to her as I placed the bag on the bed. "Does mom love us..?"

Her words broke my heart. I asked myself that every weekend. "Of course she does, she just makes mistakes.. we all do."

I pulled her in my arms. She looked at me with big sad eyes and softly touched my cheek, which was still sore from the punch. I looked at her fingers and saw blood. I wiped her hands and gasped when the phone rang on full blast.

"Hello?"

"I'm in front of your door" Saito whispered.

"Okay." I Hung up the phone. "Come on Yuki, put your backpack on."

She did as I said, as I took off my necklace. The necklace gave me a sense of security ever since my father gave me it. I kneeled down and put my necklace on Yuki.

"This will keep you safe.. if your ever scared, pray to it. And your fears will go away."

She nodded as I picked her up, placing her on my hip. I walked out my room and carried her down the hallway, the angry voices sounding louder. I hoped they wouldn't notice, but they always noticed.

"Where do you think you're going Ayumi?" My mothers voice yelled. As I reached for the door, I felt a hand grab my hair and I cried out. I heard Yuki begin to cry as I was forced away from the door.

"Let her go." Saito's voice was fierce behind me.

I pulled away from my mom and gave Yuki over to Saito. "Take her and go."

My eyes stared into his, as he scanned my face.

"You have to come," he grabs my wrist.

I reluctantly pulled away, and whispered, "go, ill sneak out later."

He sighed and walked out. I shut the door, and all of a sudden my moms screaming made me angry. She was screaming out Yuki' name.

I ran to my room and slammed my door, falling to my knees. I cried out in tears like never before. Before I knew it my eyes were swollen.

"Ayumi" I heard a deep, almost evil, voice ring in my ears. "This world isnt for you. You could have such a better life.." I looked around my room. Empty. "With me by your side, you could have anything you desired.." His voice was like a snakes voice, yet it pulled me in.

"Who are you?" I whispered.

"You will know in time.. just close your eyes and I will take you to your destination.."

As if on command my body fell forward onto the floor. My eyes went blurry as I watched a tall man with an old kimino approach me. He had long wavy hair and blood red eyes. He was laughing as my world went black.

PLEASE REVIEW. XOXO
