I'm Ok

Chapter Three: Father, You Terrorize Me Even In My Sleep

Here it is people!!! Chapter three. Sorry it took so long. School is EVIL oh so evil!

The normal ten-minute walk to the village seemed like ten years to Kagome, as they walked in silence. InuYasha kept sneaking worried glances at Kagome and it was starting to annoy her. She looked over at InuYasha who quickly looked away.

"InuYasha are you okay?" she asked as she counted to ten in her head. She was molested by her father, has bruises all over her, is tired, not to mention hungry, and all she wanted to do was take a bath and sleep. Was that too much to ask?

"Am I okay? Am I OKAY?" she winced at his voice level. She stopped walking to look at him. His golden eyes were filled with worry. "You are the one who was attacked by a demon, probably one that makes the weird noises where you put all the clothes in it, (he means the washing machine) and wont tell me! How can you ask if I am okay if you are covered in bruises?" he yelled flinging his hands up in the air.

"InuYasha I am okay! And the washing machine did not attack me! You don't have to yell!"

"Look who is talking," he countered forgetting for a second that she was injured. "and if the 'washing ma-shine' didn't attack you then what did?"

"Nothing! I told you I was fine!"

"No you aren't!"

"Yes I am!"

"No you aren't!"

'That's it! I had it!' she screamed in her mind.

"Sit!" she screamed. Then she turned to walk back to the village as a certain hanyou was slammed into the dirt path.

"Bitch" he muttered into the dirt and waited for the spell to wear off.

Kagome walked into the hut to find the usual. Sango in one corner petting Kilala with a semi-red face, Keade sitting in the middle of the hut making dinner, Shippo drawing a picture next to an unconscious monk who was sporting a red hand mark on his face.

With a sigh she set her bag down...it was going to be a long night.

'Stupid bitch!' he scolded as he punched her again.

'Doug, stop it! Stop it!' her mother screamed as she tried to reach her daughter. 'You're hurting her!'

'She deserves it and if you don't shut up you will get the same thing!' The drunk father roared as he slapped his wife against the face. The force knocked her to the floor, making her lose conscious. 'Now where were we?' He asked in a mocking voice. 'Oh yes I remember, you were being punished...' Then continued to hit his already bruised and bloody daughter's body, deaf to her pleas to stop.

Kagome flew up in her sleeping bag, sending Shippo through the air, only to land on Miroku. Miroku, who was five seconds away from having a midnight grope in his sleep screamed (rather girlishly) as Shippo landed on his chest. His scream awoke Sango who screamed as she felt a very familiar hand o her thigh. Of course all this caused InuYasha to come down from his cozy tree to join the screaming and yelling.

No one seemed to notice Kagome having trouble regaining her normal breathing pattern until she got up and ran from the camp to the stream as fast as her legs and lungs would carry her.

"Kagome." InuYasha said quietly and went after her, fearing for her safety. He found her hunched over the stream splashing water into her face and coughing uncontrollable. She kept repeating 'It was just a dream. It was a dream.'

He walked over to her slowly, not wanting to scare her. As he got closer her scent of fear became stronger and made him worry. He bent down next to her. "Kagome, are...are you okay?" When she didn't answer him he cupped her chin in his clawed hand and made her look at him. Her stormy eyes were clouded with fear. "Are you okay, Kagome?" he asked again, hoping for an answer. She simply nodded her head 'no' and threw herself on him.

He held her to him as she sobbed and coughed, not sure what to do. He rocked them back and forth. That's how the rest of the gang found them. Sango walk carefully up to the inu hanyou that was holding her little sister.

"What's wrong with Kagome?" she asked quietly. Shippo jumped on her shoulder to get a better look at his adopted mother.

"Mama?" he asked so quietly that InuYasha could barley hear it over Kagome's strangled cries. He tightened his hold on her.

"Go back to camp. We'll catch up with you guys later." He ordered. Sango nodded and gave the couple a worried glance before going back to camp. Miroku looked down at InuYasha.

"Do you know what's troubling her?" he asked in a serious tone. "Ever since Kagome has come back from her time she has been a little off." He said in a hushed tone so not to wake the now sleeping Kagome.

"I'm not sure, but it has to be something in her time. When I met her at the well she was covered in bruises." He moved her a bit so Miroku could see her face. The water washed off the over up she had put to hide it, which seemed like a miracle to him because after two days it had gotten darker then when he first saw it. Miroku to a sharp intake of air when he saw it. He touched it gently to see how much damage was really done. Kagome moaned painfully, but didn't wake up.

"Stop it." She pleaded quietly and curled up to protect herself from what ever that was causing her pain. "I didn't do anything wrong." Tears started to leak from her eyes, but she refused to open them.

'What's wrong with you, Kagome?' was his only thought as he held her there through the night.
