I don't own Inu-yasha

Chapter 5- Shattered hope in a million pieces

Kagome was forced to follow Naraku. As he walked by, he pretended to treat her well in front of doctors.

"Thank you doctor, I'll take care of her now..." Once they got outside, he threw her in his car. "Listen bitch... YOU ARE GOING TO PAY..." Kikyo hugged Kagome's arm hiding her face behind Kagome's cast.

Kikyo's POV

I wish someone is there to help me... I'll kill for a normal family... I'm alone in this world... ...Nothing but a mere slave... ...A child screaming for help... If I can re-do everything... I'll choose not to be born... I killed my mother because she doesn't have a good heart...

Kagome's POV

"I'm sorry Mr. Hikari... Your wife has lost too much blood from the process... After the child was born, her heart couldn't make enough blood like a regular person... We gave a blood transfusion but she didn't make it... I'm terribly sorry..."

"SORRY? MY WIFE IS DEAD!" he started throwing things at the doctor and beating up the surgeon

"Daddy? What's going on?" I tugged my father's shirt and he shoved me on the ground.

"I'M GOING TO SUE!!! WHAT KIND OF HOSPITAL IS THIS? I WANT A LAWSUIT!"

"Mr. Hikari! YOU signed the paper, she can't blame the hospital and you can't too!"

"I DON'T CARE!"

That night my father didn't even tuck my sister in. I was still young, but I wrapped blankets around Kikyo. Luckily, a few weeks before the labor, Mom bought powered milk that is for babies, I didn't know they must have breast milk but I made it for her anyway. It was tough since I was short, but I did it... I fed her the warm sweet milk. She was hungry so she drank it all. I smiled ad started singing softly to her.

Normal POV

The tire screeched, Kagome and Kikyo were at the driveway.

-At the so-called-home-

Kagome was tied down by Kagura. "YOU PIECE OF SHIT!" Naraku held a long whip with thorn-like spike on it. He stripped Kagome into her underwear and tank-top. He whipped Kagome's body until it bled into it cannot bleed anymore. The prickled wire that was used to tie her ankle and wrist was cutting her blood circulation. Kagura punched Kagome's stomach and threw salt on all her wounds. They did all the malicious things you can think of on Kagome. Kagome was starved for a week, when Naraku leaves the house; Kikyo always feed Kagome with the food she saves from school.

"Thank you Kikyo..." Kagome tried smiling but she couldn't. Kikyo tried cutting the wires to free her but it was tied to strong and it was too thick. Kikyo gave Kagome blankets and ointment so her wounds can heal.

-At school-

She ran into the teacher. "Kikyo, Kagome is gone for 4 days now! Where is she?"

Kikyo was silent and looked down on her feet. "I cannot say..." Kikyo ran to class.

-Lunch time-

Inu-yasha sat in his chair and ate his fried rice. "Where is Kagome? I went to the hospital but they said she left already..." Inu-yasha stopped eating and walked to the office. He looked at the emergency card with her address.

-End of the day-

Inu-yasha held homework and walked to Kagome's house. He saw Kikyo walking inside. He grabbed her shoulder and met her terrifying big eyes.

"Excuse me, are you Kagome's sister?" Kikyo screamed a little, and she shrunk into the gate.

"W-W-Why you're following me?"

"I'm Kagome's teacher. You call me Inu-yasha..."

Kikyo got up and apologized. "She's inside, please save her, she tied on the walls! Don't make us live in this place again..." Inu-yasha was confused and opened the door. He found Kagome practically chained to the walls and blood dripped out of Kagome's wound. "Get me a butcher's knife..." It took 15 minutes to free Kagome's chains. Kagome fell unconscious into Inu-yasha's arm. He brought Kagome to the hospital (AGAIN!)

"Kagome! Stay strong!" Kikyo said loudly. She sat next to her and cried softly on her broken arm.

-At Hospital (AGAIN)-

"Oh Kagome... ...If I knew... IF I KNEW I'LL HELP YOU..." Inu-yasha growled and looked at Kagome. "She is so innocent..."

Kikyo was crying softly.

"Mr. Li?"

"Yes?" Inu-yasha got out of his chair.

"Your daughter lost a lot of blood. We are doing surgery to give her blood and stitches. The broken arm of hers needs to be broken again and replace with a new cast. May I ask you why is she like that?"

"I'm her teacher and I have no clue..."

"Kikyo?"

Kikyo was silent. "Please just help my sister..."

"Kikyo, if you tell me, we can sue the person who did this and put him/her in jail..."

Kikyo's eyes sparkled with hope. "Really?" She still didn't trust him.

"Yes, I'll let you live at my house for protection, okay?"

Kikyo nodded.

Kagome woke up and saw Kikyo next to her. "Where am I?"

"The hospital... Your teacher brought us here..."

Kagome turned around and saw Inu-yasha next to her. "Thank you Mr. Li..."

"Nonsense, call me Inu-yasha..."

"Okay, Inu-yasha..."

"I'm going to get you some food, be right back..." Kagome nodded and looked at Kikyo.

"Kagome?"

"Yes?"

"Inu-yasha asked me, would you like to live at his house?"

"Yes, would you?"

Kikyo nodded very little. "No more Naraku... No more Kagura..."

"Yes... All gone..." Kagome hugged Kikyo and kissed Kikyo's forehead.

"Aww, isn't this nice?" Inu-yasha leaned on the door holding juice and a bran muffin.

"Inu-yasha... Who will take care of us when you are at work?"

"Well, I am a children doctor... I just did teacher for fun and as a morning job, I usually work at night, so I'm quitting teaching..."

"Aww..." Kagome look down.

"I'm home schooling you guys when I have time in the morning. Miroku will be glad to take care of you at night."

"Who is Miroku?"

"He is a friend of mines. We are room mates, we known each other for many years, more than 10... My mansion is too big so I invited him over to my house. He has work in the morning and I guess this makes sense..."

Kagome nodded and looked at the bran muffin Inu-yasha brought her. "What is this?"

"It's a bran muffin... Try it."

Kagome took the plastic wrapper off the muffin and took a sniff at it. She took a nibble then a bite. "This muff-in is good."

"Glad you like it, here Kikyo, this is like a bran muffin but it's a cupcake, the only difference is that it's sweeter. Kagome can't have sweeter things yet." He handed the muffin to Kikyo but she shook her head even though she was starving. Her stomach could be heard loudly. She blushed and sat down. "It's okay." He placed it on the table. "Feel free to eat it if you want to. I'm going to the restroom."

Kikyo looked at Kagome enjoying the muffin. "Is it good?"

Kagome nodded.

"You can have mines, I don't like it..."

"But Kikyo, you haven't eat for 2 days, you must eat! I didn't like it at first, but I enjoyed it..."

"Hmm..." Kikyo took the cupcake and analyzed it.

"Here, let me help..." Kagome picked up the cake and took of the wrapper. "Here"

Kikyo took a bite out of it and smile. "This is good!" She ate it in less than 3 minutes. It was the same size of the palm of her hand too.

"You must be starving, I just finished it!" Kikyo ignored what she said and got up. She walked outside and looked both sides.

"Kikyo? What are you doing?"

"I want more food..." Kikyo got out of the room and bumped into Inu-yasha. "Opps, sorry!"

"It's all right..." Inu-yasha chuckled and held a few popsicles. "This isn't sugar. It's all natural, want to try it?"

Kagome looked confused. "What is it?"

"It is a frozen type of liquid on a stick that melts when touches warmth."

Inu-yasha handed Kagome the Popsicle and Kagome began studying it.

"You better eat it, it'll melt soon."

Kagome removed the cover it and looked at it.

"You lick it..." Kagome licked the Popsicle and placed it in her mouth.

"Nis gis no" (This is cold)

"What?" Inu-yasha ignored that, he handed one for Kikyo. "Here you go Kikyo."

"Thanks..."

"I can't stay in this room but I'll be here first thing in the morning..."

Kagome frowned and sunk in her bed.

Inu-yasha smiled sadly.

"Can Kikyo stay?"

"Well... I prefer adult supervision for her. Is that all right?"

Kagome nodded but Kikyo looked at Kagome shaking her head.

"Kikyo, I know you don't trust me but it's for your safety..."

Kikyo ran to Kagome and climbed up on her bed.

"Well, as long as you are okay... Want an extra bed?"

Kikyo shook her head and slept next to Kagome.

Inu-yasha nodded and waved goodbye to the sleeping child.

"Bye Inu-yasha..." Kagome waved goodbye and went to sleep.
