Chapter Nine: Dark

"Here's a little sympathy, for you to waste on me. I know your faking it but that's okay, and I don't want to drag it out. Don't want to bring you down, I never wanted it to end this way..."
Inside Out Yellowcard
::---::
When Kagome got home that night, her spirits where brought down immensely by the fact that Hichi's car was in their driveway. She figured though, that he would just ignore her.
How wrong she was.
Kagome had some big project thing in Spanish class to finish, so when she walked inside she went straight to her room. She didn't even bother to look over and see that Hichi was alone, watching a porno.
After unlocking the door, she locked it again, and went over to her bed. After about a half hour of vainly attempting to start the project, Kagome laid back in her bed and stared at her ceiling with a long, dragging sigh. She really couldn't even concentrate. She thought about maybe getting stoned, but Kagome figured it wouldn't be worth it when she was so worried about Sango.
Kagome wondered if Sango could handle being a mother.
She really hoped her child wouldn't end up like Kagome was. Hating her mother, and wishing she could die. Rolling her eyes, she dismissed the thought and grabbed her trusty steak knife.
She pressed the blade and drew blood, for no particular reason except the fact that she was bored, and had nothing better to do. She really couldn't think about much else otherwise though.
Suddenly, as Kagome was about to bring the blade down again, she heard a very loud CRASH, that made her jump into the air. Her eyes sped to the door and as she heard another crash, her door flew open. Kagome felt her stomach drop as Hichi walked into the room. He had broken both of the locks to the door to get in.
His eyes were dilated and bloodshot, and they looked so incredibly scary.
Kagome flew off her bed as he walked into the room, and pulled open the window, attempting to get out as fast as she could. She had almost had the screen open when she felt a sharp pain in her leg. Hichi grabbed her arms and threw her across the room. She fell on the edge of the bed and cried out in pain.
He lunged onto her, and grabbed her hair, pulling hard as smiling as she cried out again. Kagome gave all of her strength into getting him off, but he pinned her arms and legs to the bed, firmly.
Had the situation not been so dire, Kagome would have seen the irony in the fact that she would have not minded to see Inuyasha at that moment. Perhaps he would have pulled off Hichi and saved her but not. Inuyasha was next door, watching TV like the good little school boy he was.
She felt Hichi's breath on her own as he tried to kiss her. She turned her head, dodging his mouth as best she could.
"I've wanted your cunt for so long..." He whispered into her ear, making her volt with shock. He slapped her suddenly, and smiled at her pain.
"Stay still bitch!" He cried, taking a knife out of his back pocket, "Or I will have to slash your face again. You know this isn't my fault. It's yours. Maybe if you were not so pretty and looked so much like a whore, I wouldn't want to fuck you this much."
Kagome had never been so terrified in her entire life of one person. She felt hot tears threaten to pour out of her eyes, and Hichi saw this and suddenly became enraged. He took the knife and started slashing everywhere he could. He pulled the knife against her arms, stomach, throat, and every time she screamed loudly.
"What Bitch!!" He screamed in her face, "Am I not good enough for you?! I'll teach you!"
Finally, he grabbed her jacket and threw her across the room. She hit the door, and her head and mostly neck back-lashed, making her fall against the floor painfully. She heard Hichi's footsteps as he tried to approach her.
Kagome opened her eyes and she stood up, narrowly avoiding Hichi's lung for her. Kagome grabbed the picture of her Grandpa, and she flew over to the window again. This time, she got out before he could grab her.
Limping desperately, she got to the front yard close by the street before tripping on a rock and falling to the earth with a large plunk. Holding her picture to her tightly she cried out in pain, and then everything went black.

Inuyasha looked up in surprise when he heard a loud cry.
He had just ran outside during the commercials of his TV show to grab the mail, and when he looked over, he saw Kagome falling to the ground and curling in a ball painfully.
Dropping the mail, he ran over to her fallen form and tried to pick her up. He was shocked to see that she had hundreds of slash marks on her front side, and was bleeding horribly.
He then heard the slamming of a door and looked towards her house.
That greasy man he had seen a while back was looking at them. He had her blood on his almost bare-body, and a knife in his hands. Inuyasha growled, daring the man to come closer and take her from him, but the man simply walked back inside.
Inuyasha picked her up as gently as he could and carried her back to his house. His face was elapsed in worry as he saw not only the slash marks and bruises that grease-ball had caused her, but large red looking cuts going up from her wrists to her elbows.
When he got into the house, he laid her on his couch and turned of the TV. He walked over to his bathroom and grabbed a first aid kit.
"What has that man done to you Kagome?" He asked her knocked out form, a tear almost forming in his eye, the mail and tv show forgotten.
