Chapter Two: I don't understand

I ran, I ran as fast as my feet could take me down the empty streets, every breath I took seemed to rip through my lungs like daggers. The buzzing of the street lights were the only sounds on the streets besides my breathing and footsteps, as tears flooded my eyes. I could feel his breath on my neck, his hands on my body. I shook my head, my mind screaming for me to run. I couldn't handle it anymore, I wanted out of that house. I felt dirty, violated. He has never done that before, it took me by such surprise. His hands roaming by body, his breath hovering over my face, the stench of alcohol clouding my mind. I couldn't handle it, I needed to get out of there.

I could feel the sticky wet substance run down my arm, the vital life source for a human like me. Along my arm was a large gash, formed by the hand stumble down the stairs. I didn't take time to look at it, he was close on my heels as he stumbled out of my room, calling my name in his drunken state.

"I-I don't wanna be here anymore!" I cried out as I ran, a trail of crystal tears following my every movement. "Anywhere but here!" I ran, and screamed but no one came to my aid. No one cared for someone like me, I was nothing to them. What could people do, after seeing a girl run down the street, screaming and crying, in the middle of the night? I wouldn't even know what to do if I was in their position.

Not stopping, nor paying attention to where I was going I ran towards the empty park. I slowly halted my running and looked around, rubbing my now red eyes. The park was different in the dark than it was in the morning. The trees seemed to be alive as they towered over me, reaching out to me. I slowly walked through the winding tree's, the feeling of every tree watching me, waiting for something. I knew I should have turned back when I had a chance, but my legs wouldn't make the effort to turn my body. They seemed to be moving on their own accord, as if they had a mind of their own. My eyes darted from tree to tree, my ears tried to pick up the smallest sounds they can hear, by heart racing in my chest trying to break free from the cage behind my ribs.

I wasn't alone here. Thats what my mind kept telling me, but my senses said nothing of the source. Everything was so eerie, the arms of the trees trying to claw at me, capture me between the fingers in a deathly grasp. Turn back! Turn back now and run! My body wouldn't cooperate with my mind, as I moved forwards, her hands shaking. Pulling them to my chest I looked around, blood still trickling down my arm to the ground leaving a trail of blood droplets. Why wouldn't my body listen, I wanted to cry out, fear written across my face. I didn't know what my body was doing, I didn't know why it urged me to move forwards than back to the somewhat safe area.

I never noticed how big the park was before, it was only two blocks but walking through it, it seemed much longer, and deeper into the park the trees looked more wild, more alive than the ones out near the streets. The air seemed colder as I walked and it seemed there was more than the eyes of the tree's watching me, calling out to me with voices that a human ear connect comprehend. My head looked straight ahead, my body forcing my to squint into the darkness, my senses telling me something or someone was there. My mind didn't want to know, but my body did.

My movement suddenly stopped in it's tracks as I gasped in horror, a bear like creature was devouring the pink insides of a human, whose corpse was laying there lifeless, mouth opened in a scream of terror, eyes widen in fear. The creature reached into the man's stomach and began pulling, a long tube stretching out of the corpses body. Eating it, the creature pulled on the intestine with it's claws eating it as if it was a bowl of spaghetti. Though the corpse was dead it seemed to plead to me with it's eyes, begging me to help him, calling to me to be his savior. My legs shook under my weight, my mind going blank nothing but fear coursing through my veins.

Within the long delay my voice seemed to catch up with me and I did the thing I should have never done, I screamed, my voice echoing above the tree's. The creature snapped his head in my direction, pushing himself up with his massive arm. How stupid could I get, why did I cry out so suddenly. I knew no one was out here to save me from this beast.

Thundering steps crawled towards me as my eyes looked up into the face of the creature, my eyes glimmering with tears and fear. My legs wouldn't go, as I cried out in frustration. Why wouldn't they move? Didn't they know my life depended on them right now? The creature was now hovering over me, coal black eyes glaring at me. He was snarling at me, showing my his razor like fangs, drool dripping from the side of his mouth. I wanted to cry for help, plead with the gods that I wanted to live and not die in this type of fate.

"Watch out!" My heart seemed to leap in hope as a new voice entered the scenario. Catching the beats attention I was able to move my legs on my own free will, running to the side, trying to reach the voice that called out to me. I tumbled over my own feet and collided into the ground. I heard a mighty cry as I turned my head, someone in red was charging at the beat with a large sword in his hands. I couldn't help but watch in awe, the sword was about my height and must have weighed a lot and to have someone carry it around in one hand as if it was made of paper was remarkable.

"Are you okay?!" I looked up to see a girl about my age run over to me, wearing what seemed like a school uniform to a privet school or something. She kneeled down and helped me to my feet, rushing me to the safety behind some tree's where two other people were. I turned my head to the boy and the beast to see the boy cut the beast right in half, either side of the beat falling to the side, his insides spilling to the floor, blood painting the grass crimson.

My body hurtled over as the image of his insides spilling to the grass invaded my mind, my stomach turning. I held onto my stomach as pain seared through my throat spilling to the ground before me. Before I knew what was going on I was puking. I could hear the people around me gag in disgust but that didn't bother me at the moment. Finishing I was breathing heavily, my eyes watering, my throat burning.

"That's disgusting!" the voice was of the male who carried the sword, his face was twisted in disgust.

"Oh hush Inuyasha!" The girl in the uniform cried, "This might have been her first time seeing something like this!"

The two of them began to argue, the male's face was turning red from anger. I watched them in curiosity, I just took notice to the ears upon his head, and that his hair was silvery white. He didn't look that old to have white hair yet, and were those ears fake?

I was knocked out of my mind as someone grabbed my hand, it was the other male who dressed himself in purple robes. "My dear lady, I am honored to meet someone as beautiful as you, you would please bare my child?" Before I opened my mouth to say something the other girl grabbed him by the ear, yelling at him also. He whined and complained, flailing his arms in the air. I was utterly confused, who were these people?

The girl in the uniform ignored the boy in red and walked over to me. "Hi I'm Kagome!" She smiled kindly, as I looked at her with a confused look. Throughout this whole conversation i had no idea what these people were saying. Everything came out as quick nonsense, it sounded almost asian like. Were these people asian?

"I-I don't understand." I stated, as they all looked at me with the same confused look.

"What she say?" The boy in red questioned.

"I don't know that type of dialect." The other male informed the four, all of them are still looking at me.

"It's not a dialect," Kagome said looking at them. "She's speaking english."

"Speaking what?" Inuyasha asked, looking rather confused.

"English is another language, different from what we speak."

"That's stupid! How do you guys understand each other then?!"

"We learn their language! And it's not stupid! It shows the beauty of other cultures!"

They started to argue once again, sending me into another state of confusion. I wanted to desperately to get out of this situation, I was started to feel nervous.

"Inuyasha shut up so I can try to talk to her!" Kagome snapped turning her attention back to me. She looked at me and it looked like she was thinking rather hard. "Hello. Kagome my name." She said in broken english. I smiled brightly, at least one of them knew english.

"Kagome?" I asked as she nodded her head and pointed to each of her friends.

"Inuyasha." The boy in red grunted and looked away. Well doesn't he seem pleasant. "Miroku." The one dressed in purple smile and waved. "Sango." The last member smiled kindly at me.

"I'm Emma." I told her as she smiled and looked at the others.

"Her name is Emma." She said, I knew she was telling them my name since I heard Emma.

"What an odd name." Inuyasha grunted, since the name was foreign and sounded nothing like the names here. "Anyway, what are we going to do with her since she doesn't understand us?"

"I'm not sure." Kagome crossed her arms and thought.

"We should take her to Kaede." Sango told them as they nodded. "She should know what to do."

Kagome turned to me and smiled, "Come, we will umm." She was thinking again and them smiled, "help you!" Her english was broken, but I could understand it. I nodded my head, "Thanks."

We were sitting inside a little hut, an old woman talking to the group of four. I was so intrigued by this place, I knew I wasn't in New York anymore. i was gazing out of the window, it seemed like I was somewhere in mid-evil Japan. There were villagers working together to create a life, and it seemed that everyone was helping everyone else. It was amazing. I kept hearing my name through their conversations but that was mainly it. They were probably confused of how I got here, heck I was confused of how I got here.

"So she understands nothing ye speaks?" Kaede questioned the group as they nodded no. "Hmmm." She didn't even know what to do, nothing like this has ever happened before. They looked my me as I stared out of the window, gazing in awe at the world that I stepped into. Before another word was said Inuyasha's nose caught a nasty scent which caused him to growl out.

"What is it Inuyasha?!" Kagome questioned looking at the now standing Hanyou.

"I smell Naraku." He spat, venom dripping in his words as I turned to look at him, something in his voice told me something isn't right and I knew right then it had something to do with me.
