A/N: aight, I had to end it there. Wrote it last night, but couldn't post
it. Just wanted to let you know that I can be doing my homework right now,
but I decided to be a kind author and update since I haven't in quite a
while. Sorry , kagomeandinuyasha4ever, there's still a bit more about
kagome being abused by her mother. And pinayazngrl, I haven't gotten around
to reading your fic yet. I really don't have enough time right now, but I
promise I will put that on the top of my "to do" list.
And folks, sorry about the last "chapter". I was reading my reviews and I was wondering why peeps kept on asking me to write longer chapters. I checked my story and realized that I had uploaded the wrong document. I uploaded the 6th chapter instead of the 5th. So... I'M REALLY SORRY!!! PLEASE DON'T HURT ME!!!! Anyways, enjoy the REAL chappie! (
Why Me?

Chapter 5: The Meeting
"Why me?" Inu-Yasha thought as he walked through the streets with Kagome in his arms. Miroku and he had split at the intersection two blocks from the school. Miroku had went on his way to Yura's house, while he went toward Kagome's house. "Great gods, what am I going to say to her mother when I get there? What would her mother think if she saw Kagome in this condition?" Inu-Yasha thought, troubled.
He was still thinking about what to say when he realized he had already reached her house. He looked down at Kagome, then back up at the shrine. "Here goes nothing." He muttered to himself. He breathed out breathed out a long breath. Then he sucked in some air and marched up the stairs. When he reached the door, he stretched out his hand to ring the doorbell, but hesitated. "Get a grip on yourself man, you're almost there." With that thought, he rang the doorbell. The door was suddenly yanked open. Inu-yasha looked down and saw a little boy around the age of ten or eleven. He quirked an eyebrow at the boy and said, "Hey, is your mother home?" The boy mirrored his movement, but didn't answer. Instead, he asked, "Is that Kagome?" At the question, Inu-Yasha swallowed a lump that had developed in his throat without him even knowing it. "Yeah." He croaked out. The boy turned around and started walking muttering some things. Among them, Inu- Yasha caught the words "Kagome's" "hurt" "mom" "mad" "stick" "beat" and "Kagome" again. While he pondered the meaning of the words, he heard the little boy in the house yelling for his mom. "MOM!?!?!?!?!" Then he heard a woman reply, "WHAT SOTA?!" "THERE"S SOMEONE AT THE DOOR WITH KAGOME!" "WHAT!!"
Then he heard rushing footsteps. Suddenly, the door was yanked wide open again. But this time, a woman who looked to be in her late thirties was the one who opened it. "Who are you!" she demanded. "... this is Kagome's mom?" was all that Inu-Yasha could think of at that moment. After a small pause he said, "Ms. Higurashi, Kagome got hurt today during P.E. class. I was told by the nurse to bring her home. I'm a fellow classmate of hers." "Oh." Was the reply he received. "All right, just drop her on the couch." After he had done so, he nodded to Ms. Higurashi and headed for the door. As he did so, he heard Ms. Higurashi whisper something along the lines of "Kagome" "bitch" "gets in trouble" "teach" "lesson". As soon as he had walked out of the house the door was slammed behind his back. "Isn't her mother just a humble person?" was the first thought that occurred to him. "Whatever, her problem, not mine." With that, he began heading home at a leisurely pace.
"Ugh.... where am I?" was the first question that popped into Kagome's head when she woke up. She sat up and looked around, relieved to find that she is back at home. "but how did I get here?" she pondered until she heard footsteps behind her. She turned around and met the angry gaze of her mother. "Well, what have you got to say about yourself?" her mother asked her. "Huh?" Kagome replied, her head still a bit fuzzy. Her mother growled low in her throat. "Go make dinner for tonight. You're lucky I'm in a pretty good mood tonight, it could have been worse. And it will be worse if you don't make a GOOD dinner." With that, her mom stormed out of the living room.
Kagome slowly dragged herself off of the couch and toward the kitchen. Her muscles screamed with the effort. " better get it over with." She said to herself. She got a couple ingredients out of the fridge and prepared them for the meal she was going to make. During odd moments, while preparing the last meal, her vision would get blurry and she wouldn't be able to see anything for a split second. During one of these moments, Sota decided to scare her. He snuck into the kitchen behind her, and screamed, "BOO!!!" (if you weren't blind during that split second, you probably wouldn't be scared and would tell him to buzz off) This scared Kagome, because she was half- blind during that moment. She turned around to face the source of the sound, Sota. And without knowing it, she pushed herself backwards. Her lower arm met with the hot pot that was still on the stove. It burned her skin. She screamed and pulled her arm back toward herself. Tears of pain streamed down her cheeks. With the remaining of her strength, she ran to her room. As she left the kitchen, she heard her brother laughing maliciously.
Kagome ran into her room and straight to the bathroom. She pulled back her mirror. Behind it was her secret supply of medications. She quickly took out the aloe and applied it to her arm. She wanted to wrap it up in bandages, but she couldn't do it herself. After she had applied the medication, the events of what happened slowly replayed in her mind. The sound of her brother's malicious laugh rang in her ears. She then began wondering if there was anyone out there in the world who loved her at all. With that thought, a new stream of tears made its way down the pale features of her face. She cried herself to sleep in the bathroom, and that was where she found herself the next morning when she was woken up rudely by her mother screaming at her.
