Chapter 15

A Letter

a/n: Hey… don't kill me… please… I'm doing the best I can… I'm STILL grounded and giving up my study hall and lunch break to do this for you… I'll finish the story in 2 more chapters… maybe three…

What is love? Have I ever experienced it? If someone asked me could I tell them?

Someone yelled from behind me, but I paid no attention. Someone was running behind me, but I ignored it.

A hand fell on my shoulder with a deep voice, "Kagome! One sec," I sensed the person stand straight again and take a deep breath. I wheeled around with a glare. It was Miroku.

"What?" I asked coldly.

"I just… wow… thanks for caring… I'm fine," he said sarcastically.

"Your Welcome," I said, folding my arms.

"I just wanted to say thanks.. for what you did… me and Sango are together now," he said, grinning.

"It was all Jackasses idea," I said bitterly.

He stopped grinning, "What did he do?"

"Nothing," I sighed, "See you later, Miroku," I said, waving and turning around again to walk home.

"Women," I heard him mutter, then turn and run away.

The anger inside me calmed but I didn't care whether the world ended just then, the sky fell, or whatever will happen one of these days. All I DID care about was InuYasha, all I lived for was InuYasha, but right I didn't care if he dropped dead.

I reached my foster home. It seemed quiet. The car was gone and no loud music or crying could be heard. I walked inside, "HELLO! SOTA? SHIPPO? SANGO?" I yelled, "Must be gone," I mumbled to myself when no one answered.

I shrugged and fell down onto the couch. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath as I tried to forget what happened.

I hate InuYasha! My mind screamed, obviously I couldn't forget it. Slowly I opened my eyes, "Why," I whispered to the empty room.

"Why what?" Someone said.

I whipped my head to the door. A man with long wavy brown hair was standing in the doorway.

"Who are you?" I asked, sitting up a bit.

"Does that matter?" he asked, "But if you must know, my name is Naraku."

Naraku? I heard that name before… but where, "Do you need something?" I asked.

"Yes.. do you know where Sango is?" he asked, stepping forward.

"Reality hit me like a ton of bricks. Naraku! That was that phone guy calling Sango and her family. What a nut! Wait… this nut… is in the same room as me. Oh Isis… what next. What do I do… SPEAK! That would be a good thing… calm down Kagome… I told myself.

"She's not here," I said as calm as I could.

"Well if you see her… tell her I dropped by," he said and shrugged, "I'll be in touch," the he walked out of the house.

Oh Isis! I fell back on the couch, my heart racing from fright.

"Who was that?" Someone else said from the door.

I turned, afraid it was some other lunatic. I was right. InuYasha. Oh great, does someone hate me?

"Does it matter," I asked, mimicking that nut, Naraku.

He shrugged, "So how was your mother?" he asked, as if I should just forget about earlier.

I glared at him, the said in a cold voice, "Go away."

"That bad huh?" he asked, leaning against the door frame.

"Oh no… it was great. Seeing my mother locked up in some psycho ward, full of disturbing people, then having to look at her in the same light, crying her eyes out because she's depressed and hung up on drugs the doctors keep shoving down her throat. But no, that's not enough for one day, I come to the one person I can really trust, but all I get is cold glares and insults on my mother and me. And if that isn't enough, I meet some other lunatic that happens to want to kill my other best friend who happens to be the only OTHER person I can talk to right now, seeing as how the other is so head strong and spoiled to even tell me he plays the sax without having to insult me and be the biggest jerk in the damn world!" I yelled.

"Kagome, I-," he started.

"SAVE IT!" I yelled, "I don't want to hear it! Just get out! OUT! Out of this house of which I am forced to live because my mother is depressed and can't take care of us! I don't need anymore sympathy from you cause I've had enough! ENOUGH! Enough from you, from these foster parents, from my social worker, and even from my mother! FROM EVERYTHING! I have enough to deal with right now then to sit and cry my eyes out because the one person I've come to trust and respect turns out to be so stubborn and selfish it unbelievable! SO GET OUT!" I yelled, tears forming in my eyes. I found myself standing, I don't even remember doing so. I pointed to the door. Blinking back my tears, trying to stay calm and strong.

He just stood there, astonished.

"I think you should go InuYasha," Sango said.

I turned and saw Shippo and Sota by the door.

One tear threatened to fall, but I turned away from them all and ran to my room. I fell down on my bed and sobbed. I cried till I fell asleep.

When I woke up an hour later I found that Sango left for home, telling Sota to say goodbye for her.

I couldn't help but be angy at myself. The only person I have left to talk to is gone. I was alone, and had no one to turn to again.

a/n: Okay… end chapter… next one will be the last and extra long… it will be posted in two to three weeks… JA! ^.^
