Thanx to those of you that reviewed. And Now, the show must go on!
"What have I told you about staying away from that damned well?" He shouted at her. Kagome flinched and waited for it to be over. In seconds, Tim was in front of her and landed a sound slap to her face. "You answer me when I talk to you!" He yelled in her face. She grimaced and could smell the awful yet familiar stench of alchohol in his breath.
Within moments, she was on the ground, Tim kicking her repeatedly in the ribs. Kagome bit her lip to keep from crying out because she knew that it would only provoke him more. "Stupid, stupid bitch. Stay away from that well! I wonder why you always go there. What the hell is so special about that old piece of shit?" He kicked her hard in the ribs and Kagome could feel the bones groaning under the onslaught, threatening to break.
"Get to your room. I don't wanna see you're ugly face!" He yelled at her and walked out to the kitchen, leaving Kagome lying on the floor, battered and bruised. She slowly stood up and went silently to her room. Once she had the door safely shut, she collapsed onto her bed and let her sobbs break through, her tears staining the pillowcase. She hated it. All of it. After her tears started to subside, she sat up.
She reached under her mattress and pulled out her most prized possession. A switchblade. She rolled her long sleeves up to her elbows and held the knife tightly in her hand. She placed the cold blade against her already scarred wrist and then slowly slid the blade across her wrist. It burned but only for a minute. The pain was seeping from her body, soon there wouldn't be any more left. She sliced seven times and let the tiny droplets of crimson blood drip onto the sheets of her bed. This happened all the time. He'd come home and if he had a good day, she only get punched, and if he had a bad day, she'd be beaten to a pulp. If she was near the well house, she was beaten to a pulp. Then she'd cut herself, to let the pain out of her abused body. 'too long' she thought to herself. 'too long. I've got nothing left and it's been happening for too long. I'll end it tomorrow.' Kagome cried herself to sleep.
His ears twitched and an amber eye opened it self. 'Something's wrong.' He stood abrubtly and headed for the well. As he stood at the edge of the old bone-eater's well, he doubted. 'What am I doing? I can't go through, I already know it. I've tried too many times and none have worked. But still, I can't shake this feeling...' he stared into the depths of the well, then let the self doubt leave him and he leapt into the well, swallowed in by the familiar blue aura.
