Roshni- warning some abuse in this chapter. ---------------

It was that dream again.

---------------

There was lush grass as far as the eye could see. Bright flowers covered the carpet like grass, only leaving patches showing. The clouds floated like white cotton candy in the baby-blue sky. The air was filled with the familiar scent of home.

Three people were standing. There was a young woman and a young man. Wrapped in warm arms, was a young teenage girl. "Oh Kagome, we will never leave you again," the woman said.

"I hope so mother, I hope so," the girl, supposedly Kagome said.

---------------

Suddenly a voice, or rather a woman shrieking shattered her dream. "Wake up, you little maggot."

She stirred, but didn't wake up. Her mind tried to grasp that dream, and never let go. When she had it in an iron grip, she snuggled under her rag of a sheet. "IF YOU DON'T WAKE UP, I WILL COME UP THERE," the voice yelled, again.

She stirred yet again, but she was not awake. Just a little longer, she thought.

Suddenly loud footsteps could be heard, making their way up the stairs.

The girl was still sound asleep, undisturbed. She had a smile on her face. Suddenly she felt shooting pain, traveling from her ankle, through her spinal cord, and up to her brain. She woke up instantly, to find the looming figure of a woman, glaring at her.

She had a brilliant shade of peach, for the color of her skin. Her hair was black with a few brown highlights. She had blue icy-cold eyes, and a slim figure. She looked like a perfect porcelain doll. In her right hand was a wooden stick, by the looks of it, strong.

The teenage girl glanced down at her ankle, and saw a bruise, and a bit of blood oozing out. Not that bad, but the day had just started and things were going to get worse. "Get up u bi-," the woman started.

"Why can't you use my name?" Kagome asked, interrupting her and frowning.

"Oh I'm sorry Kagome, little-miss-I-think-I'm-better-than-everyone," the woman stated, sarcastically. "Now hurry up and wash the house, or I might have to wake my husband."

Kagome's eyes shot wide open. Her hazel-brown eyes trembled slightly. She was deathly afraid of her "stepfather".

---------------

"You little brat. What did you do to make your stepmother angry?" A man asked.

He had a muscular build, and was pretty buff. He had short, brown hair, and piercing emerald green eyes.

"I j-just didn't w-want to clean the f-floor," a 9-year-old Kagome stammered, sobbing.

The sound of a slap, echoed throughout the whole house. Kagome turned her face as a burning sensation filled her cheek, where a big red mark was stamped. Blood dripped of her lip and dropped making its way to the floor. Suddenly the stepfather grabbed Kagome's frail neck, and shook it. "If you ever disrespect your stepmother, this will a pinch for what I am going to do to you," he said, throwing Kagome to the floor, the force making Kagome's head hit the wall.

Her stepfather left, and entered his bedroom. Kagome, on the other hand, held her head as she slowly got up. She looked up at her stepmother with ashamed, pleading eyes. But she just turned and walked away, accompanying her husband to the bedroom. There Kagome was, all alone, no one to help her up...

---------------

Kagome shuddered at the thought of that. The scars of pain were still stuck to her mind, like paint on a wall. She glanced at the clock near the doorway. It was only 5 am. Well back to the chores she had to do. She walked up to the windows, and threw back the curtains.

The sun was peeking out of the horizon, waiting to make its big appearance. The sky was a mixture of black and light blue. It looked like a perfect painting, with perfect colors, painted to perfection. To everyone it was the beginning of the day, but to Kagome, it was just another day of hell. She wanted to dream that dream, till the end of time or maybe till her stepfamily were dead. She left her room to begin that never-ending hell.

---------------

Cleaning the house took one hour, and by that time everyone, except Kagome, were ready for the day. Her mother was making breakfast, and her stepfather and stepbrother were sitting on the dining table talking and eating at the same time. When she entered the room, all eyes were on her. She gulped and walked up to her stepmother, avoiding eye contact with her stepfather. "I f- finished the c-cleaning," she managed to say with great difficulty.

"Go take a bath, I don't want you to look like a dog in my house," she replied, nastily.

She left hurriedly, not wanting to stay there for one minute.

---------------

Kagome stepped in the bathroom, and took of every article of clothing she had, which was not much, and dragged her bare body into the shower. She turned the shower, expecting warm water to sooth her senses, but all she got was cold-water dripping of her. She moved back, dodging the cold liquid, but something her stepmother said echoed in her mind, "If you come out of the bath and you are not sparkling clean, don't expect me to do nothing because I will hurt you."

Kagome shuddered one last time before stepping back into the shower, letting the cold water freeze away her troubles and worries. ---------------

About five minutes later, a knock on the door awakened Kagome from her cloud of thoughts. "You could come out hm...lets see...NOW!!!" it was her stepmother.

Her footsteps could be heard leaving. Kagome closed the shower, and wrapped her "special towel", which was nothing but a small second hand towel, around herself, and opened her drawer to her school uniform. She always kept it there so she wouldn't have to walk half naked to her room. She had been lucky enough to get a room.

---------------

She went back to the dining room to find her stepmother kissing her stepfather, and her stepbrother just leaving. There she pocketed two apples and stashed it into her bag pack before her stepmother caught her. She had no lunch after all. She left the house quickly before her stepmother noticed that two apples were missing.

---------------

It was raining. Again. The skies were covered with dull, grey clouds covering up the sunshine. Kagome took out an apple, and started munching on, attempting to fill the black hole of an appetite she had. She walked through the rain, soaked almost instantly.

After around fifteen minutes, Kagome reached her usual short cut, and walked on. Since it was mostly trees, a lot of the rain got blocked. Suddenly she bumped into someone. She just saw shimmering golden eyes before it disappeared. Strange, Kagome thought, before making her way to school...
