Kagome slowly opened her eyes and thought that she was dreaming. She was lying on a futon in, what looked like, Keade's hut. And sitting next to her, was Inuyasha. "Wha- what happened?" she spoke with disbelief in her voice. "I don't know why, but I was able to travel through the well, only to see you holding a dagger to your neck." Inuyasha replied softly to her. "I don't understand, Kag. Why would you do that?". Kagome was still in shock to be back in the Feudal Era and couldn't believe that Inuyasha there. Right beside her.
She broke down and cried. Inutasha's ears flattened against his head; he hated to see her cry. He gently pulled her into his lap and wrapped his arms around her. "Shh, it's slright, you can tell me what's wrong." He whispered in her ear. She bagan to calm down, yet the tears still rolled down her face.
"It was horrible. When I first had tried to get back through the well, but it wouldn't let me through, no matter what I did. A few days later, Grandpa died." She choked back a sob. " He died of a heart attack. Oh, everyday I would try to get through the well, but it still wouldn't let me through." Her voice then went lower, "Then Mom started dating this man she had met at her new work. Souta and I told her that we didn't like him, but she wouldn't listen to us. She married him, and things went bad. Soon, he started hitting my mom and ordering me to stay away from the well.
"One time, my mom and Souta went to the market to get dinner, and their car was hit. Mom died in the crash, and Souta died a few hours later in the hospital. It made my step dad sngry. He'd go around talking about how dare my mom dump me with him, how dare she leave him with all the work. He never even cried. Not once." Kagome broke into more tears, then continued. "Then, things got worse. He'd beat me. Everyday. I get hit, kicked, shoved, and thrown. He even made me drop out of school because my friends became curious about my bruises and cuts."
Inuyasha held her a little tighter, and, although she couldn't see his face, she knew that he was angry.
"I-I-I started to cut myself. It was the only I could do. An- and then, I just wanted to end it. I had enough. My family was dead, I couldn't through the well, and my lie was a living hell. I just wanted it to all stop.". Kagome burst into more tears. Inuyasha still held her and tried to calm her down. He was furious with this person that had been hurting Kagome. 'My Kagome'. If he ever saw this person, he would tear him to shreds. "It's ok, Kagome. You're safe now.". 'I'll always protect you'.
Kagome cried herself to sleep in his arms.
