I got up to take a shower and brush my teeth when I heard I knock at the door. What the fuck! Who is it now? I walked over to the door and opened it. "Leave me the fuck alo….."
K P.O.V.
I glared at the person standing in my door. "How in the hell did you find out where I am?" I crossed my arms.
"Awww…come on! That's no way to treat your best friend."
"Yeah yeah. Whatever Sango." I stood back so she could come in. "So who told you I was here?"
"Miroku did."
I sighed under my breath. Of course I had forgotten he owned the hotel and was Sango's boyfriend. "So what's the lecher up to?"
Sango giggle and went to open the door when she heard the knock. "Miroku!!"
He popped out of nowhere taking a handful of her ass. I rolled my eyes. "Hey Kagome! Did you miss me so much you had to come stay near me?" he said batting his eyelashes.
I pushed him down the bed and straddled his lap. "I sure did Big Daddy." WHAM! I sucker punched him right in his face. Sango and I laughed hysterically.
"That wasn't funny!" he cried out.
We just fell to the floor, we couldn't stop laughing. Ahhhh good times…good times. I picked myself off the floor and helped Sango. We all sat on the bed and watched a movie. I didn't really pay attention. My mind started wondering.
Flashback
I had just gotten home from school. I hated school. No one gave a shit about me. I had a few friends and most had betrayed me. I was alone. No one was home when I got there so I was alone always. I reached into the medicine cabinet and popped 18 pills. I didn't know what they were or what they did, but I didn't care.
I could feel sleep slowly claiming me. I went into my room and laid face down on my bed. It felt so comfortable. What I dreamed I didn't see. I awoke to voices. I heard my dad and his best friend, my uncle.
"She's been asleep for a very long time." I heard my dad's worried voice.
"She'll be ok. I know she doesn't sleep much."
I sat up in my bed, "Uncle Akira?"
"Hey sleeping beauty! You know you snore?"
"No I don't!" I protested.
He chuckled. "Well me and your dad are going to the barbeque. We'll see you later."
"Wait! I wanna go too." I hopped out of bed and put on my shoes and jacket.
We loaded up into my dad's truck and left for the barbeque. When we got there it was being held at the fire department. A lot of my dad's friends were there, but I paid them no attention. I only had eyes for my uncle. Out of everyone, he was the only one who understood me and didn't judge me.
"Kagome, I know you've been popping pills."
I looked down at my feet. "I feel so miserable, and they're only pain killers. Its not like I'm taking hydrocodine."
"Well for that I'm glad. I did the same thing when I was your age. I know your dad has changed, but he still loves you. When you wouldn't wake up he was really worried."
"Yeah right! He beats me Akira! She tells him lies and he believes it. He doesn't even give me a chance."
"I know…and I'm sorry I can't do anything. I really wish I could."
"It's ok. I believe you." I gave him a hug.
The night air was frisk. I loved the fall, but the cool air didn't agree with me much. I shivered. "Dad, can we go home now? I'm cold."
He looked at me and out of no where I heard, "Go ahead, take the little bitch home."
I turned around. I knew who the voice belonged to, but I wanted to see the look on her face when I said, "And why don't you go return yourself to your pimp." I relished in the glory that I put that horrible look on her already hideous face.
She didn't say anything back. She just walked off, but my dad did take me home. I took a hot shower and crawled into my bed. I could hear them bickering again.
"Go wake her up right now!"
I heard footsteps. "Get your ass up now." My dad sounded upset.
I threw back the covers and walked into the living room. There was a bag of pills sitting on the coffee table. I acted non-chalantly. I knew she planted them in my room and acted like she 'found' them. What a bunch of bullshit.
"What are these?"
"Well they look like pills to me." I crossed my arms and leaned against the wall.
"Don't be a smart ass."
"Well I'm smarter than you so I don't see anything wrong with acting like it." I didn't care. I didn't care what he thought anymore. He never gave me a chance and he was stupid for being so gullible, so I treated him like he was incompetent.
He stood up abruptly and stalked over to me. He made a grab for my shirt and instead missed, slamming his fist into my jaw instead. I stumbled back a couple of steps and tripped. My head came down on the corner of our gas stove. As I laid there in a growing pool of my blood I saw his mouth screaming, but no sound came out. I couldn't hear anything. I was slipping off into unconsciousness.
Flashback End
"Kagome…Kagome……" I felt a shake. "KAGOME HIGURASHI!!!!! WAKE YOUR ASS UP NOW!"
I opened my eyes. "Sango if you YELL IN MY EAR ONE MORE TIME I WLL STAB YOU!!!" I said as I grabbed her ear.
"Ahhhh… I'm sorry. Anyways, I just wanted to tell you Miroku and I are leaving. We'll see you later."
"Ok, bye." I turned the TV off.
"Hey Kagome, You can stay here as long as you want. Free of charge."
"I smiled at Miroku, "Thanks."
I shut the door behind them. Sango may get on my nerves sometimes, but the truth was she was a good friend. She knew when not to ask questions. Indeed I really did enjoy her friendship.
S P.O.V.
I couldn't stop thinking about her. Her image always clouded my mind. As she walked by me in the hallways I could smell her intoxicating scent. I wanted to smell me in her more than anything.
I loved it when she came by the house. She would always knock even though she knew she was allowed to walk in. She would always smile at me and say, "Hi jerk." Then leave my presence to find Inuyasha. I would growl in a jealousy. I wanted her to come look for me.
I would watch them when they were together. They acted more like friends than anything. Inuyasha always tried to put the moves on her, but she would only let him hold her hand. I knew he was seeing the school slut, Kikyo, but I couldn't stand to see Kagome in tears. I knew she would cry if she found out. I just didn't want to be the one to break her heart. She had already been through enough.
I was shaken out of my thoughts when I walked past the game room and they were arguing. I stood out of eye sight, but close enough where I could see and hear. Being a demon didn't mean I could see through walls.
"I CAN'T FUCKING BELIEVE THIS!! First my dad almost kills me and now you're cheating on me!"
Yes!! What do you mean yes? Yes, she found out and now we can take her. Hn. I watched silently.
"Oh come on Kagome, you're over reacting."
"Over reacting? I'm over reacting?"
Inuyasha nodded his head, "Yep."
"You just called my Kikyo. How am I over reacting?"
"Feh. It was your imagination."
"Yeah I'm insane and we're over," she huffed. She stormed out of the room and bumped into me. "Ouch!" She looked up. "Oh, hi Seshoumaru."
"Hn." I just watched her curiously.
She dusted invisible dirt off her sleeves. She looked at me, "I…I don't think I'm going to be coming back."
My heart raced. I wanted to see her everyday. How could I win her over if I couldn't talk to her everyday? I began to worry, but I kept a placid mask on. "I'm sorry my idiot brother hurt you. Is there anything I can do?"
She laughed. Kami how he loved her laugh. "Maybe you can castrate him for me. It would save me the trouble of coming to see his face."
"I would die happy if I could do that," I said as I walked her to her car. "Well you know you can always come and see me." I cant believe that came out of my mouth!
She blushed, "Maybe sometime I might." She started her car and drove off as I watched her receding vehicle. I hoped she would come back to see me.
