Chapter 5
"Kagome! Shippou-chan took my candy!" Rin whines.
"Shippou." She looks at the kitsune sternly. "Where is Rin's candy?"
"Ummm I don't have it?" he answers innocently.
"I'm sure you don't." she says hiding a smile. "Did you eat it? Don't lie to me."
The young kit hangs his head and answers, "Yes….I was just so hungry though! I'm sorry! I wont do it again."
Kagome laughs at this. "It's alright Shippou. I'm sure this isn't the first time and I know it wont be the last time. Just go apologize to Rin and next time she gets some of your candy."
"But…."
"Don't you give me any buts."
"Oh alright…" he walks over to Rin.
"Ok Sango. I think that's everything. I'll be back in about a week. Don't let Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha kill each other and watch over the little ones. Anything you wanted me to bring back?"
"No, not that I can think of. You just have a good time and relax while you're at home."
"I'll try." She answers and turns to the rest of the group. "Bye everyone! I'll see you in about a week!" she yells and runs towards the well.
"WHAT?!" Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru yell simultaneously at the retreating form of the girl.
"You are not leaving me here with him for that long!"
"I think I am. Besides it's not THAT long Inu." She tries to reason.
"Where are you going?" Sesshoumaru asks.
"I'm going home for a while. To get a change of clothes, restock on food, and stuff like that. Don't worry, I'll be back before you know it."
"Then I may as well go home. Rin come we're going back to the castle."
"But I wanna stay with Shippou." She pouts.
He glares at the young girl. "Do not make this Sesshoumaru repeat himself." Rin complies and quickly goes to his side.
"Oh don't make her leave just because I'm leaving….she'll be in good hands here plus she'll have someone to play with besides that Jaken creature."
Sesshoumaru turns his icy gaze to her. "A wench has no business in telling this Sesshoumaru what he can and cannot do. We are leaving, no arguments. Come Rin." He turns around and brusquely walks away from the group leaving a shocked Kagome.
"What was that about?" asks Kagome confused. "I didn't think anything I said was insulting. How did I offend him?"
"Never mind that Kagome, you need to get home. Don't worry about it, we can figure it out when you return. Go now, you need to relax." Sango ushers her to the well. "Bye, have a good time."
"Mom I'm going up to my room to catch up on a little bit of my homework. I'll see you at dinner." She tells her mother as she runs up the stairs.
"Ok honey. I'll call for you when dinner is ready. Have fun!" she calls after her daughter.
Kagome gets to her room and collapses on her bed. She sobs and feels the tears fall one by one until she no longer holds them back letting herself cry into her pillow. She recalls the previous events of the week and even earlier that day.
"Hi Bryan!" she runs up to her boyfriend enthusiastically.
"Yes?" he asks coldly.
"How have you been?" she asks feeling uncertain about what he was going to do.
"I'm fine, and so was that pretty little thing Rena last night. I had a great time."
"You what?"
"I don't have to repeat myself, you heard me bitch."
"W-what? You didn't…I thought…"
"You thought wrong. I don't care about you, you stupid whore. All you're good for is a quick fuck. No emotional attachment."
Tears well up in her eyes and she turns to walk away. He grabs her arm brutally, forcing her to face him. "Where do you think you're going? I'm not done with you, you can't leave until I give you permission. Get in my car."
"N-no." she tells him. "You don't care about me, I'm not doing what you say anymore. Leave me alone." She tries pulling away.
"Bitch!" he backhands her then punches her hard in the stomach.
"Bryan…" she trails off as he punches her in the stomach again.
"Did I tell you it was ok to talk? No, so shut the fuck up!" He yells and pushes her into the side of his car.
Kagome falls from the impact. "Please, don't do this." she pleads.
"You should've thought about that before you talked." He answers harshly
Kagome gets up and walks into her bathroom. She gasps at her appearance. "It's never been this bad before. What am I going to do when I go back tonight?" Taking a washcloth she gently washes her face and then applies concealor to hide the bruises and the cut across her cheek. "I guess concealer comes in handy after all." She amuses darkly.
Quietly she climbs out of the well, first slinging her bag over the top. "Oh man, this is gonna be difficult." She says to herself. Walking towards where camp was before she left she runs into Sesshoumaru. "Hi." She says quietly. He nods at her. "How's Rin doing?" she asks nervously biting her lip.
"She's playing with the kitsune."
"I see…" she trails off. "Look, Sesshoumaru-sama I didn't mean to offend you before I left."
"I know."
"Ok, well I'm going to go see the children…if that's alright with you that is."
"You needn't ask my permission. Do as you wish."
"Are you sure?" she asks hesitantly.
"Kagome do I need to repeat myself?"
She looks up at him fearfully, "N-no. No."
"What has you so paranoid?"
"Nothing…why would something have me paranoid? I have to go see the children." She says to him then walks away quickly.
