Authors note!!!
Hello everyone!! Well, I don't really have anything to say besides THANKS FOR THE REVIEWS! So on with the story! (Apologies in advance for spelling errors!)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kagome felt herself being shaken roughly.
"Damnit Kagome! Wake up! Jesus! God you sleep like a log. Are you on fucking sleeping pills or something?"
Kagome rolled over and glared at jade. Jade glared back. Then broke out into a smile. Kagome had gotten used to her smiling, but had noticed how empty they were. Hollow.
"come on! It's time for you to change your look. I don't know how you can stand looking the same all the time! I'd go fucking crazy! If we don't go now, we don't go at all, so hurry!"
Kagome groaned. "Where are we going? It's still night! Let me sleep!"
"NO! I didn't want to show you before, since you just got here, but now let's go! We need to get you some new clothes and get out for a while!"
"Stupid! We can't get out! The door is locked!"
"Didn't I tell you before?" Jade said we an evil smirk, "I'm a mother fucking Houdini!"
She strode over to the door and tinkered with the lock for a moment. A small click was heard and the door swung open. Kagome jumped out of bed immediately.
"Lets go!" jade said and sprinted out into the hall silently, kagome following careful not to make a sound.
Each door took only a second for Jade to open. Kagome was impressed. She hadn't believed Jade when she said she could pick these locks. She had been proven wrong. Jade wove through the endless corridors easily. Smiling slightly Jade lead Kagome into a large room. It had washers and dryers on both side and shelves piled with clothes.
"This is where they keep the clothes that people bring. Sometimes, the people with knowledge that they are coming here bring suitcases full of clothes thinking that they will be able to keep them." Jade snorted. "Yeah right, they store all they stuff here for who knows what. Anyway, I just help myself to whatever, no one notices. And if they tell me to change I don't. Simple really. Now to find something for you to wear."
Jade walked up and down the rows of shelves plucking things off them randomly. She turned and walked back to kagome.
She held a pair of jeans with ripped knees and a shirt saying Social Distortion. She handed them to kagome. For herself jade had chosen a plaid skirt, white tank top, and big brown lace up boot. She held a bottle of something in her left hand, along with some scissors.
Kagome pointed to the bottle.
"What's that?"
Jade smirked, "Hair dye."
Kagome didn't say anything as Jade led her back to the room through the twisting passageways and endless stairways. She began to think about her hair. She decided she didn't like it.
When they reached the room kagome took the scissors and walked into the bathroom. She stared at the wall, where the mirror should be. They didn't have one since glass could be used as a weapon. Kagome shrugged.
'I don't need a mirror.'
She gathered her hair up in a ponytail and chopped it off with one snip. Locks of hair fell on the floor beside her. She fingered her uneven hair. It was barley down to her shoulders. She smiled and walked out of the bathroom. When jade saw her, she gasped.
"I like what you are trying to do, but please let me fix it, just so it's even."
Kagome smiled and shrugged, "Sure."
Jade led her into the bathroom and sat her down on the toilet taking the scissors. Snip, snip, snip went the scissors as hair rained down on the plastic floor. Kagome's smile widened. She like the feeling of air on the back of her neck. Jade finished and stood back.
"I like it. I'll go get you a mirror. Change while I'm gone, I already did."
Kagome listened to her boots thud softly against the floor as she left the room. Kagome slowly pulled of her robe and pulled on her newly acquired clothes. She twirled around, looking down at herself. She liked the new her.
'I wonder what Sota is doing right now?'
She froze. Sota was dead. She remembered his little body, twisted violently on the floor of the living room. She could smell the blood. She clutched at her heart, it felt like it was about to break.
She slammed her back against the wall and slid down to the floor sobbing. She yanked at her hair, trying to stop the pain. Trying to make herself stop thinking. She slammed her head against the wall over and over. She refrained from screaming, not wanting to draw attention.
She bent over and clasped the scissors tightly in her hand. She dug the blade into her soft flesh again and again. Blood began to pour onto the plastic bleached tiles. She concentrated on the pain, forgetting about her brother. About death, about the fire. She forgot. Her mind silenced and she dropped the scissors on the floor in a puddle of blood. She looked up ay saw Jade staring at her.
"What the fuck do you think you're doing? You're getting blood everywhere! How the hell am I supposed to clean this up huh?"
Jade began muttering to herself. She left the bathroom but came back a minute later with bandages. She began to wrap kagome's wrist.
"You see, I was prepared. I was waiting for you to snap. Everyone here does. Sometimes they survive, sometimes they don't, lucky I was here, else you would've bled to death. You made one hell of a mess though. It's a miracle you didn't get blood on your clothes."
Kagome sat numbly and watched Hade babble on. She had no idea what she had just done, but for a split second, she had wished for her death.
"Come and help me clean this up, I'll just have to use the bed sheets. Oh well. Not like we need them anyway."
Kagome took the bed sheet from jade's extended hand and began swabbing at the floor with it.
"You know, the first time I tried to commit suicide, I ended up in a comma for 3 months. You'd think I would've learned from that, but no, I kept doing it. I think you need to get some sleep. We'll talk in the morning okay?"
Kagome nodded and rose from her sitting position, stretching out her cramped legs. As she was leaving she turned to Jade,
"Thank you."
Jade smiled. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kagome woke slowly. Her eyes fluttering wildly. She saw jade sitting on the barred window sill, looking out onto the grounds, lost in thought.
"What'cha thinking 'bout?"
Jade turned and smiled her empty smile, "Nothing. Feeling better?"
Kagome nodded.
"I was thinking kagome," jade paused unsure if she should speak.
"Thinking about what?"
"Well, about getting out of here, what do you think? I mean, I can't stand being in here any longer, I'm gonna bust outta here, you wanna come?"
Kagome didn't hesitate. "O course I wanna come, but when and how will we do it? Won't they come looking for us?"
"Of course they'll come looking for us, but that doesn't mean that they will find us. There is always a way around the law. I mean, we can change our appearances and go somewhere they won't find us. Any ideas where we could go? I would recommend someplace, but the cops would bust us in a second."
Kagome did have an idea. She hesitated. Jade saw this,
"Let me guess, your house? News flash, your house is trash, a big pile of ash. I know that's harsh, but the truth hurts. I'm kind of a blunt person."
Kagome's eyes flashed with pain and welled with tears.
"Damn Kagome, I didn't mean it okay? Here, take this." Jade dropped three small white pills into Kagome's open hand.
"Don't worry; it's nothing bad, just some caffeine pills. You'll just get a little hyper is all." Kagome nodded and swallowed the pills in one gulp.
"Okay, you were just about to say something before I opened my big mouth and screwed up. What were you gonna say?"
"Well, you see, there is this place, by my old house, and," she paused, "well, I have some friends there. I can promise you the cops would never find us there. Even if they knew where it was they couldn't get us unless we went to them. It's the safest place I can think of."
Jade nodded, "Fine, we'll go there, but the problem is getting there. Getting out of here will be easy enough, but since you don't where this here is you can't possibly know where there is either."
Jade proceeded to mumble to herself. "If we can stop at Gaho's then he can help us from there. We will also need to see Shuya, he will hook us up....." She trailed off making plans.
"Ok kagome, we will leave tonight. Just be ready. Today we have to change our appearances. It's a good thing I picked up that hair dye last night. Ok let's get crackin. We don't need to change you too much 'cause we cut your hair last night, but me, I need a big change."
Jade fingered her long hair gingerly and sighed sadly. She shrugged her shoulders and walked into the bathroom with the scissors.
Kagome flinched as she heard each snip.
'It must be hard to cut off all your hair.'
Jade came back out. She had only cut off about two inches. She smiled apologetically.
"I couldn't do it, I don't know why, but it's just about the only thing I have in life. Pretty stupid I know, but I'd rather risk getting caught then cut it. Oh, throw me that bottle there will yah?"
Kagome complied and Jade disappeared into the bathroom once again.
~39 minutes later~
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH! DAMN IT ALL TO HELL!" kagome ran into the bathroom.
"WHAT?"
"IT WAS FUCKING BLEACH! IT WAS A BLEACH KIT! LOOK AT MY FUCKING HAIR!"
Jade's once glossy mahogany hair was now porcelain. Kagome thought she looked beautiful.
'Like Sessomaru's hair. His hair is so pretty. It's the kind where you just wanna run your hands through it.' She let out a dreamy sigh, 'SHIT! What am I thinking? Stop it brain! Or I'll poke you with a cue tip!'
"Earth to Kagome! Tell me! Does it look horrible?"
"No, I think you look great, it suits you. It complements your eyes. It makes the blue look like a light shade of violet! It really suits you. I like it."
"Thanks Kagome."
She smiled. Kagome smiled back at her.
"Remember, we are leaving tonight, so get some sleep now okay?"
Kagome nodded and went to lie down.

Authors note!
Hello everyone! So how is it so far? Please be honest. If you have any ideas I am open for suggestion. In the next chapter kagome tries drugs for the first time and inuyasha almost goes crazy looking for kagome. Now here is a treat, read but do not eat!
Suicide and other comforts:
I pace, alone
In a place for the dead
Overcome by woe
And here, I've grown
So fond of dread
That I swear it's heaven
Oh sweet May,
Dressed in grief
Roll back the stone
With these words scrawled in a severed hand
Tears fall like shards of glass that band
In rivers, like sinners
Swept with me to join the damned
A darkened sky
The day that laughter died
Fell swiftly into night
And stayed within Her sight
Staring at the knife
Oh God, how easy now the sacrifice
My life, to have Her with me
So farewell to distant thunder
Those inept stars I've worshipped under
Fall father, their Father
Lies in wait in flames below
Whilst my love, a blood red flower
Calls to me from verdant bowers
Graveside, I cry
Please save me from this Hell I know
A darkened sky
The day that laughter died
Fell swiftly into night
And stayed within Her sight
Staring at the knife
Oh God, how easy now to sacrifice
My life, to have Her with me
An eye for an eye as espied in the bible
My faith is lost to the burning of idols
One less cross to press upon the survival
Of this lorded agony
And I, (much as I have tried
To bury Her from mind,
Fate's tourniquet was tied, when She died...)
Still sense Her presence so divine
Lithe arms about my throat
Like pining swans entwined
Footfalls at nightfall close to mine
Suicide is a tried and tested formula for release
I snatch Her whisper like the wind through cedars
See Her face in every natural feature
Midst the mist and sleepy hollows of fever...
With glee deceiving me
Suicide is a tried and tested formula for release
I hear Her voice from where the grave defies Her
Siren song to sing along, no finer
Suicide notes, harmonized in a minor
Strike a chord with misery
No light nor reef
No unsinkable of romance keeps me
Safely from the stormy seas
Now drowning, resounding
Death-knells pound my dreams
Unthinkable to dredge through this
Listless and lonely winter frieze
A darken sky
This day hereafter dies
Falls swiftly into night
Abed stays within my sight
Staring at the knife
Oh God, how ease it was to sacrifice
My life, to have Her with me
No more a victim of crusade
Where souls are strung from moral palisades
I slit my wrists and quickly slip away...
I journey now on Summer lands
To grace Her lips with contraband
The blaze once in my veins
