AN: I am so sorry, though I did not have too many people who reviewed this, I feel bad for those who have. I haven't updated because I am not too crazy about writing fanfics, I love reading them but not writing but anyway. Here is the second chapter of trapped! P.s. I have no idea about Haruka's parents, so if there is information about them in the series, that I missed and what I write is completely wrong, forgive me.

flash back

"Mommy I don't want to go to school today, I think I have a tummy ache" the fair skinned, dark haired child complained. Her eyes puffy and swollen from the abundance of tears she cried. The mother placed a gentle hand on her daughters head and tried to comfort the shaking girl.

"Haruka, you know daddy and I have a very important meeting at work, and we can't miss it. So you have to go to school now. When you come home grandma hina will be here to watch you". The mother stayed stern, fighting the urge to just stay home with her little baby girl. Haruka gave in and picked up her bag and headed to the family car. But not before muttering in a small voice "I hate you mommy", Words that would taint her for the rest of her life.

The group stepped back, everyone was on edge, and I knew in my heart of hearts, this would scar them deeply. I stepped forward a few paces and ushered for the others to handle Motoko, who was now in a puddle of tears gripping the ground as if she was being pulled away from something. The body was badly banged up, it's was hard to tell who it belonged to with a first glance, but with a longer look, you notice the long black hair, of a once beautiful woman. It took the others a while to catch on. But when it sunk in they all ran to Motoko's side, trying desperately to comfort her.

Tsuruko had a peaceful look on her face; as if she suffered a great deal before she died and was happy to finally be put at rest. It killed me to think of the things that might have been done to her. I frantically told the others to phone the police, and get motoko back up to the inn; this was not something she should have seen. Kitsune stayed with me. I didn't ask her to, but I think she could sense the distraught tone in my voice.

My mind was spinning as I walked closer and closer to the body. Questions haunted me. "Why Tsuruko?", "why the tea house?" My hands were sweaty and my heart raced. Kitsune attempted to approach the wreck with me but I placed my hand out, she understood. I couldn't make sense of what the hell was going on. But I knew I would have to worry about that later, right now I had to check the body. I had to see if he "branded" her too. If there was a mark, my suspicions would be confirmed, and I would be in for one hell of a ride; a ride I wasn't ready for.

flash back

School went be really fast for little Haruka that day, she was so happy to be on the bus, ready to go home.

The five year old had on a beautiful yellow spring dress, with soft purple bunnies on it. Her sandals were a traditional brown, with not one scuff on them. Her long hair was tied in a neat little bun. Her mother persisted on her looking like a well established young lady. And at the age of five, Haruka had the manners of an adult. Her family was proud of her, and had big plans for her when she grew older. But her family was naïve; the kindergartner couldn't stand her parents. They were never there, and when they were they paid no mind to her; only to make sure her clothes were clean and her hair was neat. The only one she loved was grandma Hina; she always greeted her with a warm smile, and smelled like green tea. Her strong hugs comforted her when no one else was there. And today would be no different she thought in her mind, she would go home be greeted at the door and have a nice bowl of miso soup waiting for her.

Poor Haruka had no idea what was waiting for her at home, and the events that would unfold.

AN: I tried to slow down the events and build up the plot; did I do an okay job? If you can't tell by now I am going to feed you the past bit by bit with little flash backs here and there. And I tried to just deal with the body in this chapter, that's why it was short. Hopefully I will update twice more by Monday. Tell me what you think. Oh and I am going to do 3rd person POV in flashbacks and 1st POV in the story!
