Rain Clouds Come to Play Again
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What happened last time:
"Hey babe, how's about you and me go see a movie this Friday?" Kagome quickly turned to see who was talking to her. "The name's Kouga," A guy with long brown hair up in a ponytail, as well as a brown tail on his backside, said, offering out a hand. "I'm not interested," Kagome said coldly, turning around and heading off towards the trash can again. Kouga stood there, mouth-open as if it was the first time someone rejected him. After coming to his senses, he ran up to Kagome again. "Oh, come on. We'll have fun!" He said, refusing to give up. "I said I didn't want to," Kagome told him, growing aggravated. "Please? Come with me, babe." Kagome turned around sharply to face the guy. "I have a name, and it's not babe! It's Kagome! Get it through your thick skull!!!" Kouga looked taken back when she insulted him, but quickly regained his compossure. "Okay, Ka-go-me! Will you go with me?" "No!!!" Kagome all but shouted. She turned around to leave once more, but Kouga grabbed her shoulder, refusing to let go until she agreed to go out with him. Suddenly, someone pushed Kouga away and into the wall, "She said no Kouga!" Kagome looked around to see, who else, but Inuyasha there, fury in his eyes. Kagome muttered a thanks to him, then walked outside to sit underneath the shade of a tree. Many thoughts, such as 'Why am I so accepted here?' ran through her mind. Of course though, she couldn't answer that.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kagome remained sitting under the shade of the tree for a while staring up at the sky. There was still about ten minutes left until she needed to go back to class. 'That Kouga guy was such a jerk,' Kagome thought angrily to herself, 'But why did Inuyasha help me? He was probably just being nice.' Kagome continued to think, until her mind was worn out. "Do you mind if I sit down?" Someone asked from behind her. "No, go ahead." Kagome replied, not bothering to look who it was. "Are you alright?" The person asked, after sitting down. Kagome recognized the voice this time, and looked to see Inuyasha sitting there, a hint of concern in his eyes. "Hmm? Oh, yeah, I'm fine." She said to him, leaning back on the base of the tree. "Okay, well, just checking." He replied to her, looking around the courtyard for a while. There were a few moments of awkward silence, before Kagome spoke, "I should probably go back inside." She stood up, and walked off, leaving Inuyasha by himself at the tree, now his turn to think.
Kagome managed to get by the rest of the day without any problems. She found out that she had two more classes with Sango, and one more class with Miroku and Inuyasha. As the last bell of the day rang, Kagome quickly raced to her locker to get her backpack and books. Once she was done packing up her things, she made her way to the front doors of the school. Her shoulders slumped as she saw the weather outside. The sky was cloudy (unlike how it had been at lunch) and rain was beating down hard. Kagome didn't have a car yet, and she hadn't thought of bringing an umbrella to school with her. Sighing, she opened the door, and walked out into the rain, heading home.
Inuyasha sat in a passanger seat of his older half-brother's car. He watched the rain beat down on the window, and just as Sesshoumaru, his half-brother, pulled away, he made Kagome's figure out, walking through the rain. He was about to tell Sesshoumaru to offer her a ride, but quickly changed his mind, having only known her for a day. Besides, he didn't even know where she lived.
Drenched in the rain, Kagome slowly opened her front door to see if anyone was there. Seeing no one, she quickly stepped inside and dropped her soaking backpack on the floor. 'Crap,' She thought, 'Now all my homework is going to be ruined!' Sighing, she took off her shoes, and went up to her room to change, completely forgetting to clean up the water she dripped on the floor. Once she was in dry clothes, she went back downstairs to start cooking dinner for herself and her father. He was never usually in a good mood when he got home from work, and even madder if dinner wasn't ready. Kagome pulled some ramen out from the cupboard, and started fixing it.
She finished making it just as she heard the door open and slam shut. "What the fuck?!" She heard her fathers heavy voice boom from the front room. Her heart skipped a beat as she realized what he saw. The water on the floor. "Kagome! Get in here now!" Quickly, Kagome left her spot from the kitchen, and went to see her father. His eyes were bloodshot, and she could tell he was drunk by the way he was having difficulty standing up straight. "What the fuck is this, Kagome?!" He yelled at her, pointed towards the soaked floor. "I forgot to clean it up. I'm sorry." Kagome said quietly, bending her head down to look at the floor. "What was that?" Her father asked, roughly reaching down to tilt her chin up, "You forgot to clean it up?! You better damn well clean it up now!" With that, he reached out to her face with his other hand, and slapped her hard across the face, sending her to the floor. Kagome neither cried or let out a whimper, but got up on her hands and knees. She had learned one thing while living with her father; never show weakness. Spotting an old ratty cloth on the floor, she reached over to pick it up, but her hand was kicked away by her father's foot. "You're going to get your punishment before you clean it up." He said harshly to her. Before Kagome had time to stand up, her father had pulled his foot back again, and sent it flying into Kagome's side, knocking her to the floor again. She once again tried to get up, but recieved many more kicks in the side. When she refused to try and stand up again, her father reached down to pull her up by the collar of her shirt, her feet dangling above the ground. He curled one of his hands into a fist, and brought it to meet with her stomach. Kagome let out a small gasp, having the wind knocked out of her, and tried to regrain her breath. Her father let go of her shirt, sending her to the ground with a thud, and left to the kitchen, but not before kicking Kagome in the side once more.
Kagome heard a crack as his foot collided with her side, and she knew she must have a broken rib. 'What did I do to deserve this?' Kagome thought to herself, then everything in her sight went black.
