Families CAN Be Replaceable

That night I had a dream. Well, it was more like a memory. It had happened 3 years ago when my oldest youngest brother, Montaro, had invited his first friend over. Mom and dad had been nervous. No one knew about me outside of the family.
"You're to stay in your room, do you hear me?" mom asked, "You're not to make a sound. If you do you know what the punishment will be." I nodded. "Montaro's friend will be here any minute!" she exclaimed, "Get going!" I went no where. Mom spanked me. I ran up the stairs to my room in the attic part of the house.
From there I watched a car pull up outside of the house. A woman got out of the driver's seat and opened the door. A chubby, 3 year old boy jumped out. Montaro ran out of the house to greet them, followed by mom. She was now carrying the two year old twins, Edward and Kumiko. The mothers began to talk.
Montaro and his friend ran into the house. I heard them run up the first flight of stairs. Then the second leading to the attic. I didn't worry. The boy's play room was outside my room. The boys were talking about Montaro's legos.
"Mama bought me the Star Wars legos yesterday!" Montaro told his friend. So that's what had been in the bag. I had been wondering. "Have you seen the movie?" his friend asked. "No." Montaro replied, "Mama says it would scare me too much." "That's what my mama said too." his friend replied, "I want to see it alot!" "Me too!"
I heard footsteps coming closer to my door. Montaro's friend opened my door. I had forgotten to lock it. I took a quick glance out the window. The parents were finished talking. My brother's friend's mother was gone.
"Cool!" Montaro's friend exclaimed, "Who's that?! She's got cat ears!" He had said it loudly. This was going to cause a lot of trouble. "That's my sister, K." Montaro said proudly, "Isn't she so cool?" "Yeah!" the kid replied. He ran over and started tugging on my ears. Montaro joined him.
I heard another pair of footsteps coming up the second set of stairs. My mother appeared in the door way. "Montaro, Jeffery." she said. Montaro's friend was Jeffery I guessed. The two boys ran over to her. "Yes mommy?" Montaro asked. "Montaro dear, I never want you to show your sister or mention her to any of your friends again, okay?" mom questioned. Montaro nodded.
She turned to Jeffery. "I want you to pretend you never met Kyo, alright?" Jeffery nodded. "Good." mom said, "Now go outside and have fun, boys." They laughed and ran out of the room, down the stairs.
"Now for you." Mom said frowning, "I told you to be quiet and not let the boys know you were here." "Sorry." I said hanging my head. My ears drooped. "I'll be back." she told me. She left.

A few minutes later, she returned with two things. A belt and a ruler. I was in big big trouble. "Stand up and come over here." mom comanded. I did, meakly. "If you make a sound, you'll pay." she warned. I nodded.
The first blow was made with the ruler, across my ears. I flinched and bit my tonge, drawing blood. Next came a blow with the belt across the side of my stomach. I guess mom decided that she liked that spot because she kept on hitting me there, hitting me on the ears with the ruler everyonce in a while.
I felt my skin becoming sore. Something wet rolled down my stomach and it wasn't sweat. Mom delivered an extra hard smack to my stomach. This time with the ruler. I felt my flesh rip open. I screamed. She hit me over the head. Everything went dark.

I sat up gasping for air. Kagome and the others were kneeling around me. I even noticed Inuyasha. "What's wrong?" Kagome asked, "You screamed." "I had a bad dream." I said quietly. "About what?" Miroku asked. "Something someone did to me." I replied ashamed.
I lifted up a bit of my shirt. Not enough that it was indecent. There were boys around and one of them was Miroku. I rubbed a big red line on the side of my stomach. I flinched as I remembered the rest of the memory.

I came to on the floor of my room. There was an awful pain on my stomach. I checked it to see a large, thin wound on my stomach. It had stopped bleeding a while ago. I could tell that. The blood on my stomach was dry. So was the blood on the floor. I flinched as I got up. No one would help me with this. Lucky my wounds healed faster than a humans.

"Who did that to you?" Kagome asked, "That must of been a bad wound when you got it!" "I thought all demon's and half demon's wound went away after only a few hours." Sango said. "They do unless the wound came from an extremely tramatic time." Inuyasha said, "You can still see where Kikyo pinned me to the tree."
"So what happened to you?" Kagome questioned, "It's okay if you don't want to talk about it. I know Inuyasha doesn't want to talk about Kikyo." "DON'T SAY THAT NAME! DANMIT!" Inuyasha yelled. "See?" Kagome continued.
I smiled. "I'll tell." I replied, "It seems to make the past... softer to tell someone about it." "So, what happened?" Sango asked. "Well my mother gave me that." I said pointing to my stomach. "Your mother should be arrested!" Kagome exclaimed. "I agree." I answered dryly. I relayed the dream.
No one spoke for a second after I finished. Finally, Inuyasha said something. "I'll rip her to pieces." he declared. "I didn't know you cared." I said to Inuyasha. "Feh." He replied, "Whatever. I just hate people who descriminate half demons. I know what it feels like." Inuyasha walked away.
"You should go back to sleep." Kagome suggested, "We'll be on the road again tomorrow." I nodded and went back to sleep.

Inuyasha: What the hell is wrong with you, woman?! You turned me into a softy again!

Clear Waters: I wouldn't say I turned you into a softy. Just a breathing, living, being.

Kagome: If you're wondering, you still have that cold personality. That hasen't gone away.

Inuyasha: Good.

Shippo: You want that there?!

Inuyasha: Uh, yeah.

Shippo: Why?

Inuyasha: Shut up and leave me alone!

Shippo: Why?

Inuyasha: I'M GOING TO GET YOU! {Chases Shippo}

Shippo: AHHHHH! KAGOME SAVE ME!

Kagome: SIT!

Inuyasha: {Makes new hole} Ow! OI WENCH! What was that for?

Kagome: For being a jerk.

Miroku: This is good.

Sango: What's good?

Clear Waters: What do you have in your hand, Miroku?

Miroku: I found this stuff called coffee.

Clear Waters: Uh-oh

Sango: What? Is that a bad thing? {Feels butt being squeezed} EEEEEEEK! PERVERT!

Miroku: AAAAAAAAAH! {Runs into Inuyasha's newest hole}AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!

Inuyasha: Get off of me monk!

Miroku: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! Put the sword back, Inuyasha!

Inuyasha: Why should I?

Clear Waters: Well, before this gets any worse, I'd better break the boys up. See you in the next chapter! Don't forget to R&R!
