"There she goes. I never thought, well, that I'd live to see the day." The nurse whispered to another as they watched the black haired girl walk down the hall.
She was dressed, in a white t-shirt, white plain shoes, and white jeans, courtesy of the mental hospital. Her black hair swayed behind her, each of her steps clanking on the titled floor. She past all the rooms, following her doctor to the front desk. The scars on her cheek was plainly visible now, but no one took notice. Her eyes didn't sparkle, however, remained dull, and emotionless.
"You'd think you'd be slightly happier to leave." Her consoler caught up to the two of them.
Kagome had been their longest patient there for such a young age.
Kagome shrugged.
"Perhaps this family may be like my last." Her eyebrow twitched at the name.
Her consoler nodded her head. "Calm down Kagome, I already got that covered." She pulled out a file she had under her arm sticking it under Kagome's nose.
"It means, that if you hate your family, or they hate you. Things aren't working out, you can come back here, or if we see how your doing maybe a different orphanage." She said kindly her fingers grazing the text.
Her consoler, Toki, explained. She knew Kagome couldn't read, her mother couldn't afford to send her to school farther then the third grade. They say schools are free, but nothings free without some sort of fine here, or there.
"Aa." She followed Toki's example with her fingers lightly scanning down the text.
Frowning, Toki withdrew the papers.
"Maybe they can help you how to learn to read better Kagome." She said kindly once again, not giving Kagome a chance to reply as she opened the last set of double doors.
Pausing, with her hands on the handle, she turned back to her.
"Here it is Kagome, your freedom. Cherish it."
Kagome nodded, going toward the now open door, before turning around.
"I've had my freedom even here. I don't want to look at nothing, this worlds too much. I thank you though Toki, your the closest thing to an older sister I ever had. Scratch the one that ran away to get away. Your like, one of those idol ones.....forget it. I just wanted to let you know, that if things don't work out here, I don't plain to come back. I might kill myself. " She ran her fingertips lightly along her throat where a nearly invisible scar still remained. "Or run away. I only now want to give someone the life I never had."
(Fire: *sweat drops* We all know what c.d. I was listening to when I made this.
"Please don't cry for me when I'm broke for good." She moved her lips to that, but words never came out.
Toki miserably nodded, watching the girl follow Rumiko up to the front desk. She'd hoped Kagome would never have to go through something bad again. With the five years she worked with her, she began to feel herself as her mother, and was slightly sad to see her go.
The doors swung shut, and Kagome was gone, according to her, forever.
She cringed, trying to prevent any tears. Kagome hadn't realized how much she mattered to Toki. Toki used her to sooth her own pain.
"I swear Kagome, I won't let them hurt you again. Even if I have to kill them all."
"Sign here please." The person at the front desk directed.
Rumiko signed the last of the forms, and turned to Kagome signaling for her to follow out.
There was no sun out, yet it didn't rain. Only slight breezes pushed the leaves away. They slowly walked along the cemented black path.
Rumiko was taking longer strides, compared to Kagome who took from slow to no steps memorizing the scenery.
"It's fall, the leaves are changing color, and falling off the trees. Some think it's a lousy season, but I believe it's quite beautiful. How about you daughter?"
Kagome gave a forced smile, nodding. "It's nice, I've never seen such a thing."
She hadn't given much room for further conversation, although Rumiko forced it.
"Did they ever let you out?" She motioned back to the hospital.
Kagome blinked.
"Not really, we had windows though. Still the patients in there are the type that never want to get out to the real world."
"What type of people were you with back there?" Rumiko directed her out of the short walk, and down the side walk.
"People just like me, they grew up with bad pasts. Or they just had no emotions. Twisted, and tragic things happened to those people back there. They are the type that cry every night wishing they would die."
Rumiko placed a hand on her shoulder opening the passengers door.
"Your not there any more, so don't worry. Fit in, help yourself, and stand up for yourself. It would be harder then ever for you, but I'm sure you could fit in with our family. Become part of it."
Kagome nodded, and remained silent for the entire way to her new home, as Rumiko explained various things.
"I'd like to see you smile a true one Kagome."
"A true smile?"
"Of course."
"I've never seen one, only one with a twisted plan."

"Here, now, girl." Her father stumbled toward her, leaning back with belt behind his back.
The nine year old girl sniffled, backing up further staggering back.
"No." She said meekly, avoiding numerous wine bottles that laid sprained on the ground.
"NOW!" He bombed, taking the last gulp of his liquor, then tossing the bottle at her.
She screamed, dodging it where it shattered right next to her head.
He grabbed her arm, pulling her forward, and bringing the belt straight down on her bowed head.
A loud snap echoed through the house, followed by a panicked, pained screamed. Her father grinned happily at his daughter staggering, and cowering into a corner with blood leaking off her head, and her left arm, that had shot forward to protect her head.
"You stupid bitch, you look just like those two women. They both thought they could do without me, and look at them now." He laughed harshly, his breath smelling like pure liquor.
She just grimaced, and watched his face, as he smiled a very creepy evil smile, right before he brought the belt down on her again.

"It's hard not to be stuck on things in the past. I mean, my family never agreed when I decided to marry the man I loved. They threw me out, and it really hurt me for a lasting time I suppose. Yet Tai helped me out, if you find someone you love, stick to it." She made hand motions with her right hand, her left on the steering wheel.
Kagome nodded, noting every word. She may not go out with advice, but she'd take it any day.
"My mother, my former mother only gave me advice to escape from my father."
"Thinking about that subject Kagome, do you mind me asking-"
"My father was a drunk, he beat on us, my older sister ran away, he killed my younger brother, and my mother commit suicide. The drinking killed my dad, and I was the only one left. I kept living there with another orphan boy I met. He-" She paused, smacking a hand to her mouth.
Rumiko turned to her with worried eyes. "Did he-"
It hadn't dawned on Kagome, what she made Rumiko think.
'He offered me everything. I refused. We got in a fight before the fire.'
She ended it in her thought, but said nothing more, just glued her eyes to the mansion that just came into view.
"This is your new home." Rumiko dropped the subject as she pulled into the drive way where servants would take the car into a garage.
Kagome remained wordless, helping herself out of the car.
"Go look at the garden Kagome, I'll send someone to lead you around." She instructed the girl before she could see Tai at the door way.
Kagome nodded, but shrugging it off wondered in the direction pointed.
The garden was wonderful. It had fountains, green grass, ponds, stone benches, and cemented paths. Kagome examined it all snaking her way toward the lakes side.
"Hey move!" She'd hardly heard the warning before someone slammed violently in her side sending her to the ground, and staggering into the lake. She snatched the fabric of a shirt pulling the person with her before she cracked the waters surface, and breathing in water, before she flared her arms to reach the surface.
The person who knocked her burst out of the surface next to her, running off with a quick snap when they hit her.
She was puzzled, and confused before she looked down. Her Shikon No Tama was gone.
"Thief, police!" A women screamed from a few floors up.
Kagome checked for her the jewel once more, before she was sure he'd took it.
Glancing at the man, she got up from the water, and......
