Chapter 3:The situation at home, Yumes secret
"Daddy, can I have a word with you for a moment?" Yume asked sweetly
sticking her head in the door and smiling to the guest, the old fat smelly
man who was going bald.
Her father eyed her a minute but responded in the same sweet tone" Of
course Princess. Hold on one minute we were just finishing a very important
conversation. Why don't you have a seat in the study?"
"Of course daddy." She smiles and nods to the man. Then shuts the door."
Let's go to the study." She sighs.
"Um where is the a bathroom?" Miroku and Kouga ask at the same time.
"Yeah Miroku there is one my the steps and Kouga there is one up the steps
and the third door to the right." She leads Inuyasha to the study he sits
with his back to the door, his black blazer still on and his white hair
freely flowing. He father enters and sees the silver white hair his eyes
narrow. He slaps Yume in the face as hard as he can sending her flying into
a table which breaks under the force of her body.
Her fathers voice pound in the room." You little bitch! You can't trust my
judgment on old men so you go out and find your own! You filthy whore! He'd
better be rich or I'll press charges since your only 16!"Yume holds her
face with one hand and her side with the other. Inuyasha stands up and
swirls around to face the man.
Yume screams back at him "He's not a old man! This is INUYASHA; he lives
right beside us! Those two behind you are Miroku and Kouga and as far as I
can tell neither of them are old men either! And I haven't done anything to
them for you to be able to press charges!" She holds back tears and runs
out of the room pushing her way through the two and jumping over a sweeper
that a maid runs. Inuyasha and Miroku run after her while Kouga stares at
her father.
"Your a fucking asshole she didn't do shit to you and you still knocked her
half way across the room. Your nothing but a pile of backboneless shit!" he
turns going after them.
"She needs to join the track team." Miroku says in a breath as he tries to
keep up with her. "NO one could out run her..."Inuyasha nods.
Yume runs to her room slamming the door shut. She flings herself on her bed
and cries. The door opens and Miroku and Inuyasha enter both out of breath.
Miroku slings himself behind her breathing deeply. Inuyasha calms himself
and sits beside her. He rubs her back. "Shh, it's alright. That jerk isn't
here." He looks out the window across the fence and smiles "hey that's my
room." He looks down at Yume who lifts up her hand covering her face so
they cant see it.
"Really..."*sniff, sniff* "That's your..."*sniff*"room?" Yume asked in a
muffled voice since her hands covered her face.
"Yeah, now stop crying and look at me." He orders. She shakes her head
no."Yes." She shakes her head agion. "Tell me one good reason why I
shouldn't move your hands so you have to?"
"Because My eyes are swollen and I'm ugly from crying and I now have to bruised checks.... Good enough?" "Nope. Because that doesn't sound ugly to me, Now move your hands, or..." "Or what?" She moves her hands looking up at him her eyes wet with tears and drowning in sadness "You'll hit me to? Go ahead as far as I can tell every guy in my life dose. You three haven't yet but I'm sure that one will change if I hang around you long enough." She covers her head up with her arms as Kouga walks in. He sits down beside her head and rubs the back of her head. "What do you mean every?" Inuyasha ask curious to whom everyone was. "My father, my ex's beat me, my uncle, my cousins...friends at home." She flicks a tear away siting up. "Everyone." She stands up moving the curtains on her bed. Which was a light green in color. The bed was made of oak and was in a half circle. The headboard had a design of a castle on it and in the center a shard from a light pink jewel. Around the shard angels were cut out in great detail and each had its mouth open as if to be singing. The covers, sheets, and pillows were all forest green and the footer had a Rosen the center the vines split under it and when to the right and left with thorns and leaves. Yume walks over to her vanity and wipes her eyes with a tissue. Then grabs her compact and moves over to the bed sitting down again. She checks out the bruise, which had already formed. A light green one that covered the whole side of her face. She started to cry once more but Inuyasha's arms held her and she stoped. Miroku and Kouga also wrapped an arm around her. She laughed. "And to think, I have a older brother and he never would do this to me. He'd just scream and tell me how stupid I am for upsetting father." 'Your not stupid." Kouga says rolling a hand over her new bruise she winces in pain but smiles. For some reason she wasn't frightened they do something to her. All right so she didn't completely trust Miroku but he did have his hand on her chest. She looks at him with dagger eyes and he removes it laughing and scratching his head. "Hehehehe how'd that get there?" Two lumps grow on his head as Inuyasha and Kouga's hands go back to comforting Yume. "Are you alright now Yume?" Kouga's voice asked in a tone of caring and consern "My mother will kill me if I'm late but if your not alright I can handle being dead." "I'm fine." She smiles "It's not the first or the last time I'll be hit. You all go home. I'll walk you to the door...Hey I'll have the limousine pick us up tomorrow, alright?" She smiles happily and they agree leaving her at the door she waves bye in the same manner a Miss America would then turns going to her room. She pulls a towel out of the closet and heads to her personal bathroom to take a bath and relax. She sits in the bath tube looking up at the celling, a servant comes in. "Ma'am, your father wishes you to know dinner is on the table." She waits for a reply. "Alright, tell him I have gotten the news but am not coming down because I wish to lose a few pounds, alright?"
"Yes Ma'am." "Oh and ask him to fire those to maids that never do anything besides talk or fool around." She says then adds. "Thank you Mercy." "Yes Ma'am. No need to thank me, its my job what I get paid to do."
"Still, thank you." Mercy nods and leaves to relay the news. Yume gets out and wraps the towel around her hair and a robe around herself. She heads to her room and turns down the sheets then looks out the window. Inuyasha sits outside on his balcony with his laptop. Yume opens the window and steps outside to her balcony. "Inuyasha, hello." Inuyasha jumps "Gods around us Yume, you scared the shit out of me don't do that..."He looks her over and blushes. "You're not dressed." He states. "Yes I know that, I just got out of the bath. What are you doing?"
"Chatting to a friend."
"Who?" "A girl, I really like what she says. She has a little brother and lives with her mother and grandfather. Her father's dead and she goes to some rich kids school even thought she isn't rich and is far from it. Her uncle paid for it or something."
"No name?"
"She signs her name as Kagome."
"Really?"
"Yeah why?" Yume smiles "What do you sign yours as?" "Inu, why?"
"No reason."

YUME: BIG MOUTH?!? You're one to talk Kagome....
"Because My eyes are swollen and I'm ugly from crying and I now have to bruised checks.... Good enough?" "Nope. Because that doesn't sound ugly to me, Now move your hands, or..." "Or what?"
