Chapter 3

I Need You

So last time I forgot to say sorry for not updating sooner. I just kind of lost interest in this story. But I got a new laptop to store all my things on and I guess I picked up interest in it again. So here it goes. (I'd like at least 3 reviews by the way.)

Kagome woke up in the morning to find out that Inuyasha was not there yet. 'First day of work…' she thought and sighed. It was about 10:09. So about two more hours before their work hours began. She heard loud steps coming up the stairs. Kagome panicked and ran to the bathroom.

She shut the door quickly and stumbled for the lock. She clicked it in place, and shoved the cabinet holding supplies in it in front of the door. She sat on the toilet as she heard the outside door open.

"Where's Kagome?" She heard Arin say. She didn't hear anything after that. But she heard him come and try to open the bathroom door. She hid against the wall. She saw a vent on the top. She climbed on top of the toilet, careful to not fall in. She tried to pry the vent off. It didn't budge. She looked around for anything she could use. She found pocket knife. She quickly flipped through everything and found a screwdriver. She held it up to the screws on the vent.

Her hands were very clammy as she unscrewed them, and quickly took the vent cover off. She silently set it down on the counter. She could hear Arin screaming about Souta getting away. She climbed up and into the vents. They were dirty and musty, but she didn't care. She just wanted to get out. She wondered how many times girls had tried to escape this way. Probably not many…it didn't seem like anyone had been up there for awhile. She quickly scrambled away from the bathroom, and found a vent overlooking Arin's room it looked like. She kicked it out, and jumped down.

"Hopefully I'm safe here…" She heard running. She ran over and locked and latched the door shut. She looked at the window. It was open. Freedom, she thought. But how would she get down, she was on the second story? She looked out of the window. A thing that vine's grow up was under it. She quickly hopped over, and down it she went. She looked around. There were no houses to be seen, so she darted into the woods.

She breathed heavily as she ran, she was tired and sore. The mattresses were not comfortable. She needed Souta to be back now.

Souta's POV

He and Inuyasha climbed out of the well in the early morning. Inuyasha still didn't fully believe him. Souta ran him towards Arin's house, and Inuyasha sniffed.

I don't smell anymore of Kagome then I normally do when I'm around you. Little brat, I can't believe you'd lie to me like that.

"I'm not lying!" Souta yelled at him. Suddenly, the front door opened, and Arin ran out. "That's him! That's the guy that was going to make Kagome do stuff!" Inuyasha was already walking away though and didn't bother to listen. "Inuyasha! Please!"

"Stop lying to me brat, I'm going back home. Thanks for getting my hopes up." Inuyasha started to run off.

Kagome's POV

She ran more and more. She could hear Arin screaming behind her. She didn't want to scream, she knew it'd give her away. But it was her only hope now.

"INUYASHA!!!" She screamed and ran even faster. She started to cry. What if he wasn't here and she just endangered herself even more. "INUYASHA!!!" She screamed over and over again. She finally collapsed. She couldn't run anymore. She was tired, and out of breath. She started to cry even more. "INUYASHA!" She yelled one final time. She laid back. She heard steps slow down in front of her. She looked up to see Arin's face.

"Inuyasha…" she whispered. She blacked out.

Sorry for such a short chapter, but I had to leave a cliffhanger. What will Inuyasha do? Will he even hear her? Or will Kagome be sent back to the whore house to get to work on her first day? Guess you'll find out soon. (:
