[a/n] ok, this is my first fic so please be nice and just to make this a point do not flame me. I do not like it even though I have never gotten any flames before I just don't understand why people have to do it (I'm sure that the authors out there completely agree with me) so im going to stop babbling now and start with the story.

One ... two... three ..., I said counting the numbers off my fingers. Hi, in case you don't know me my name is Kagome Higerashi (a/n: spell?) and let's just say that I don't have such a jolly old home. Oh, and the numbers im counting those would be how many times I've been to the hospital in the past month. Did you notice how calmly im saying this? That would be because this it's a regular thing for me. Yep, sure is.

Um...Miss Kagome can I talk with you for a second? , said the nurse as she walked in the hospital room.

Yes of course, I said politely uh oh here it comes

Well I just wanted to ask you... are you having any ...problems at home because those are a lot of bruises and this it's the fourth time you've been here this week, she said almost hesitantly as if she was afraid I would snap at her. Well I wasn't about to tell her the truth I already tried that years ago and I had just gotten it worse than ever

No, of course not, I lied (I had become very good at it over the years), I'm just a very clumsy girl, yet again another lie I am not clumsy I never was clumsy.

Well ... ok if you say so, she said suspiously. As she moved to walk out the door my parents walked in. She gave them a slight nod and walked out.

What was she doing in here? , my father asked roughly

She wanted to know how I got my bruises, I said quietly hoping they wouldn't hear me. No such luck.

What exactly did you tell her? , my mother asked coldly

I told her that I was clumsy, I replied quickly afraid of what they would do to me if I took to long to answer.

Good lets go ...get out of that bed we're leaving, my father said forcefullyOf course me being the obedient child I am I immediately jumped out of bed and stood ready to goDamn why do I do everything they tell me to... oh yeah that's right Kagome it's because you're afraid of them, I thought sadly as I followed them into the main hall. They didn't even bother to tell anyone we were leaving

When we got into the car my father rolled down all the windows and let the air flow through (one of his favorite thing to do to keep himself awake while drunk). After about 15 minutes of driving we got to our house. It was old and run down place but it was the only place I could call home.

Guess what Kagome we have a surprise for you in the house, said my mother with a fake smile. Oh no a surprise from them can only mean one thing ,I thought. I walked up the stairs to our home dreading what would be awaiting me inside that hell hole of a place I called home.

a/n: so good, bad, horrible you tell me and just so all of you know I will try as hard as I possibly can to up date it will most likely be one every week because I'm in the middle of getting ready for high school you know taking entrance exams and shadowing people it is going to get hectic so I promise to do my best.

oh and one last thing I would like to send a shout out to my friends: Annaoj(spell it backwards people--;), Arielle, and Alexis.

Ja ne, Silver-Tiger
