Chapter 13: Explanations

Small, Simple, Safe Price

Rise the Wake And Carry Me With All Of My Regrets

This Is Not A Small Cut That Scabs and Dries And Flakes and Heals

And I Am Not Afraid To Die

I Am Not Bleed, and Fuck And Fight

I Want the Pain OF Payment

What's Left But a Pigmy Size Cut

Much like a Slew of a Thousand Unwanted Fucks

Would You Be My Little Cut?

Would you be My Thousand Fucks?

And Make Mark Leaving Space for the Guilt to Be Liquid

To Fill and Spill Over and Under My Thoughts

My Sad Sorry Selfish Cry out To the Cutter

I am Cutting To Picture Your Black Broken Heart

Love Is Not Like Anything

Especially a Fucking Knife

Kagome was the first to awaken. She felt totally different. She felt braver, stronger, safer, and protected. Yawning and stretching to get all the kinks out of her neck, she notices a pair of mysteriously familiar pair of clawed hands go around her waist and pull her closer to the body they belonged to. She then felt something nuzzling her neck, which happens to be very sensitive. Her eyes rolled to the back of her head, and she moaned softly, she'd never felt anything so good in her entire life. Slowly she rolled her head to the side giving the attacker of her neck easier access, and was really enjoying it until she realized that she wasn't totally sure who was attached to her neck . Sitting up quickly she turned around to face her attacker.

'Inuyasha! What in the world? Why is he here? How'd he find me? Thank good it was him her and no one else. Wait, Why Is He On My Neck!' She wondered all at once. She then quickly sat up and did a backward tumble off the bed.

"Inuyasha Hiragana! What the, How the, Why The Fuck are you here!" She screamed, straitening her close and effectively waking him up and sending him crashing to the floor.

"You crazy bitch! What the fuck do you think you're downing?" He yelled at a very angry Kagome.

"Answer my damn questions!" She retaliated.

"You don't remember yesterday? I found you at that cemetery across the street and bought you here to your hotel room. Starting to remember now?" He asked the anger fading away from his eyes and being replaced with sincere worry.

Remembering Kagome sunk down to her knees and started to softly cry.

"Mommy. Mommy I miss you so much, why did you leave me all alone with him, with that damned MURDERER!" She said screaming the last part and wiping away her tears and getting up with a renewed vigor. She marched to the dresser that held her clothes and searched around for a couple of seconds until she found what she was looking for. She went to the bathroom and closed the door hard, almost slamming it, all without saying a word to the other person in the room with her.

Look at me, you can tell

By the way I move and do my hair

Do you think that it's me or it's not me?

I don't even care

I'm alive

I don't smell

I'm the cleanest I have ever been.

I feel big, I feel tall, I feel dry (dry)

10 Minutes Later

Kagome exited the bathroom looking like a fighter ready to battle. She had on a black tank top that left her midriff bare, pair of black semi- loose sweatpants with the Nike cross-trainers that Inuyasha bought her and a black hoodie tied around her waist. Her hair was in a high ponytail, she wore a little bit of eye liner, and some light gray eye shadow with some light pink lip gloss. Inuyasha just gaped at her, she looked hot. Snapping out of it when he realized she was rummaging through her dresser again. Pulling out a familiar pair of red pants and a baggy white tee-shirt, another black hoodie and a pair of boxers, she tossed them at him.

"Close your mouth, and get ready before you're left. I'll be in the car waiting for you. You have ten minutes." She said grabbing the car keys and walking out the door.

Just look at me, look at me now

I'm a fake

I'm a fake

I'm a fake

I'm a fake

Just look at me, look at me now

I'm a fake

I'm a fake

I'm a fake

I'm a fake

9 Minutes later

Inuyasha came out of the room, closing and locking the door behind him. He then jumped into the car, and caught his breath. His hair was still dripping and he hadn't put the sweatshirt on yet.

"How and why do you have my pants, t-shirt, sweatshirt, and boxers?" He asked when his breath was all caught up. Kagome had already started driving, rolled down the window and put in a c-d.

"Oh the boxers and tee were supposed to be my pajamas, I took the pants when I left for some cash and that's just a regular over-sized hoodie. I know I have a lot of explaining to do but first let's get some chow I am starving." She said just as Inuyasha's stomach growled.

"Sorry I forgot how long I haven't eaten." He answered. For the next couple of minutes they rode in silence with only the sound of The Used in their ears.

Do I drink? Do I date?

I've got perfect placement all my ink

Satisfied, in your eyes

I'm the biggest fan I've got right now

I made sure, that I look how I wanted to look

The people around me, the people surround me

I feel big, I feel tall, I feel dry (dry)

They finally found a Burger King with a drive through. After ordering and getting their food they parked in a vacant parking lot a few blocks away from the B.K. As Inuyasha started in on his 4th egg and sausage sandwich, Kagome started to talk.

"Well, it started when I was thirteen. I had come home from school, and had seen my mom's stuff all packed. I was so happy, we were finally getting away, moving to that flat in Kyoto, then my hopes were brought down yet again. I went upstairs to find him drowning her in the bathtub. He slit her wrists after he killed her to make it seem like a suicide. The police believed him. No autopsy was performed, if there was then they would've seen that the wounds were post-mortem. It went down hill from there, he never really hit me that much before she died, but after we moved he started beating me for everything and anything then the sexual abuse came. It was horrible. It just got worse when Kikyou came back. For two days straight they took turns beating me. On with a whip and one with a fist, only taking a break to screw or make out. I couldn't take it anymore I left, and I am never going back to that disgusting excuse of a family!" She finished with a surprising amount of emotion, "Oh and just incase you still don't believe me here's some proof." She said as she took a rag from the back seat and pouring some of the water she got from Burger King onto it. She then started to painfully wiped her arms and face, and lifted her shirt so he could see. There were cuts, bruises and burns everywhere. Her back was the worst, with a huge black and blue bruise right in the middle of her back.

"These are mostly healed but the one that hurts the most is the one that formed as soon as I came back, he through me onto the table and it broke. Is this proof enough for you?" She sneered at him.

"Oh my God Kagome. I'm so sorry. I should have believed you. I should have listened to you. I could have saved you. Please forgive me. I'm sorry" He said with his head down and his ears drooping.

"You know Inuyasha, a very wise woman once told me that trust is hard to build and easy to break, and to find it in your heart to forgive because forgiveness is the key to happiness. So yeah I forgive you, but I need to learn to trust you again, but we'll save that for later. I have some things to do, first." And with that she started the car and drove off to start her journey to a new life.

Just look at me, look at me now

I'm a fake

I'm a fake

I'm a fake

I'm a fake

Just look at me, look at me now

I'm a fake

My stomach hurts now, and all tied off in lace

I pray, I beg for anything, to hit me in the face

and this sicknes isn't me, I pray to fall from grace

The last thing I see is feeling

And I'm telling you I'm a fake x4

And I'm telling you I'm...

Just look at me, look at me now

I'm a fake

I'm a fake

I'm a fake

I'm a fake

Just look at me, look at me now

I'm a fake

I'm a fake
