Chapter 9

Kagome sighed as the teacher droned on and on about something including pie? or was it pi? ir was it something with that wooden teeth guy? Heck! She didn't know! And frankly,she didn't care.It wasn't like this was home Ec.. they didn't need to know about pie! And this wasn't math so who gave a flipping damn about pi or 3.14 ( I'm smart ) and nobody really cared about some dead guy.

Oh well,this was probably the happiest time of her day.She was sitting here staring at a blackboard.Trying to figure out why it was called a black board if it was green,and not really paying attention to the lesson.

Meanwhile...

Inuyasha was staring aimlessly at the back of Kikyo's head seeing as she sat in front of him.At the moment he was wishing she would do something with her hair...like wash it.He glanced over to a half asleep Kagome.

' her hair is really shiny,i wonder if she washes it?... no! Bad Inuyasha! I don't care about her! it's the boredom talking!'

And yet he couldn't draw his eyes away.he was busy studying her features.Her small nose,pale skin,way to skinny,bruises everywhere, and her stormy blue eyes seemed cold and lifeless.But deeper in them he could detect sadness,pain, and the way she winced every time she inhaled.He soon found himself wondering why. Then noticing the blood seeping through her shirt in many places,her back had a rather large blood stain,her ribs had a few on her sleeves.Old wounds that the desk had reopened. And he wondered why?

But of course,he did back slap himself after the class had left for giving a rat's ass about the stupid homely chick.And so with these thought's shunned,he followed after his little slutty bitch.

Kagome sighed.It was5th hour,and yet she was totally broke.She had no money nope zip nada zelch.And it was lunchtime too.

And so she took her out an orange folder full of paper and dug her pencil from her jacket pocket,and headed off to the tree.The old one that reminded her of herself.She always spent lunch there,alone,why was it any different if she didn't have food.

Either way, the point was that she was now sitting by her lonely tree. She herself feeling equally lonely.

Carefully she leaned back against the tree trunk.She opened her folder and began to sketch roughly.Here eyes weren't even really focused too hard on the paper.She was looking at it, but wasn't seeing it.She was looking right through it at her knees as she viciously attacked the paper with her pencil.

After a little while,she looked down at her paper,broken from her trance and able to see her picture.She was able to take in the depth of her sketch in all of it's tear stained beauty...or whatever it was.It wasn't what she'd call a happy picture.

It was of a little girl,with her hair down to her shoulders. She had bangs gliding down to her lower cheekbones on both her left and right side of her face. She had big,stormy blue eyes,her mouth drawn in a slight frown,her eyes glistening with unshed tears. She was sitting on her bed, her seven year old body bleeding from her wrists.A knife was in her other hand and she immediately recognized it. It was her eight years ago. The night she gave up all hope.

So no. It wasn't at all a happy picture.And the tear stains didn't help.But they kept falling.Falling in big hot blobs splattering on her paper smearing the horrid sketch,but not enough.

She crumpled it up,tossing it aside over her shoulder,and began to cry,her face buried into her knees.Her frail weak body wracking in loud sobs.There was no point in trying to conceal it.All beneath the watch of the eyes.The eyes that watched her through all of her miserable suffering,wanting it to stop.Wanting to just go down there and give her one of those lifesaving hugs she so desperately needed right now.But all he could do was wait up there in the branches while she cried.
