As the girl went through the doors to exit the club the smell of marijuana and alcohol hit her with full force. She shivered and wrapped her arms around herself to hold in the little warmth her skimpy clothes gave her.
In the alley behind the club there was a large green trash bin filled to the brim with boxes that once held litres of alcohol. The alley was lit by a single street light the by chance stood near the end of the street.
The girl pulled one of the boxes out of the bin and stood it on its side. She sat down and stared into the darkness. She went so deep into her thoughts that she didn't hear the door open until the person that did so put its arms around her from behind and pulled her backwards.
"Hey sunshine!" A deep manly voice came from the person that held her to his body. His voice was lined with a malice that only could be heard if a person listened closely.
The girl squirmed slightly in the strong arms as a hint that she was uncomfortable, but stilled when she realised that the man wouldn't let her go. Tilting her head back she got a good look at her capture. He had long, greasy, black hair that hung down past his shoulders in slight waves.
"Oh, hi Naraku. Can you let go, I'm kinda getting squished." The girl gave the strong man a childish grin, trying not to show that she was extremely scared of this man.
Instead of letting her go, Naraku held her tighter, lifting her up as he stood so that her legs couldn't touch the ground. "Aaw, come on, babe, you know you really don't want me to do that." His breath stirred the hair by her ears, giving her more reason to shiver in place of the cold wind that had he 'saved' her from.
She wriggled even more as she felt his lips caress the joint of her neck and shoulder. "Naraku, get off!" She said louder than before, bucking her head back, trying to get him to let go. When she finally did hit her target he yelped in surprise and dropped her unceremoniously onto the pavement, to try to stop the blood that came flowing from his nose.
The girl came out of her stupor and scrambled away from the preoccupied capture, only he wasn't as preoccupied as she thought. As soon a she turned to lift herself up a hand grabbed her shoulder and with amazing strength flipped her one again onto her back so that she was laying flat facing the moonless sky.
She felt weight on her wrists and her arms being pulled up over her head but she couldn't respond because a pair of lips encircled her stifling any scream she would have made if she had the sense to.
She was still in shock when she felt the weight lift quickly off her shoulders and the warmth suddenly leave her lips. She was lifted up off the ground by unfamiliar arms and dropped into another's.
She heard scuffling and her name being called out but it was all so faint. She tried to move but the arms that held her tightened when she stirred. She heard the crash of something solid hitting pavement and two pairs of footsteps coming towards her.
The scuffling stopped and she tried to open her eyes. When she succeeded she found her self one again entranced, this time not by hitting her head but by three pairs of deep eyes, one purple, one a muddy brown, and one a shining navy blue. The owners of said eyes were having a conversation as though she wasn't there.
"What do you mean we can't do that, what else are we supposed to do?" The one with muddy brown eyes almost yelled, hurting the girl's ears.
"I mean she needs to get to a hospital. God, Kouga, are you so dense that you can't see that she's bleeding?" The navy blue boy answered just as haughtily, glaring at the other boy.
"C… can you stop yelling, p… please." The young woman mumbled, getting all three boys' attention. "Wh… what happened, where's Naraku?" The girl tried to push herself up off the ground with her elbows but when she moved all the blood she had left inside her seemed to rush to head. "Ow!" Three pairs of arms caught her, preventing her from once again hit her head on the hard ground.
"Dahlin' you really should be more careful. Can't you feel yourself bleeding?" The boy with navy blue eyes chuckled, once again leaning over the fallen girl.
"Ya and I'm the dense one? Move over Miroku!" The brown eyed boy scoffed and shoved the other away from the girl causing her to jolt and renewing the pain that cursed through her body and cry out
Seeing her obvious pain the final boy lifted her out of the brown eyed boy's arms. "Kouga, Miroku, enough! I've decided, she's coming with us."
"Um, excuse me? I was wondering if I get any say in this." The girl questioned timidly. 'Man if I don't get back to work soon my boss is gonna kill me!'
The boy holding her laughed at this. "Look, I don't think you are in the greatest position to be demanding anything." This reminded the girl that she was surrounded by boys that she didn't know and was currently in the arms of one of them. "First of all you are not in the greatest condition to go back to do what you call 'work'. And secondly, what are you ding in a place like that anyway, you can't be any older than sixteen?"
The girl was about to answer but she was interrupted by that sound that was the heavy door banging against the side of the club.
"Kagome, they're gone you can come back now!" A motherly voice came from the doorway.
Turning on the spot the boy holding the girl faced the voice. In the doorway stood a much older version of the girl in his arms.
"Kagome, who are these boys and where is Naraku? He came out here a while ago to get you." The woman looked each of the boys up and down in turn.
Kagome forced herself out of the boy's grasp. "You know mom, new friends and such from school." The girl answered her mom sheepishly, shrugging her shoulders and in doing so giving herself a new surge of pain.
Wincing she turned back to the three boys, giving them a look of gratitude mixed with an apology and humour. "Thanks for your help guys but I told you not to come, you never know when the cops are going to show up!" Her voice was hinting at something but the three were too confused to comprehend what it was completely.
"Yah well we just had to see what it is you do exactly, Kagome." The one with brown eyes spoke up, going along with the performance that was being held for the poor girls' mother.
"Anyway we have to go now, you know curfew and all." The blue eyed boy added smirking at the girl before him.
"Yah! Bye, Mrs. Kagome's mom!" All three boys turned and headed back from where they came, revealing a beaten and bruised body. The two females recognised who it was and shared a confused look.
"I thought you said Naraku came out looking for me." Kagome gave her mom a truly innocent look.
Returning the look, her mother reopened the back door. "Honey, we'll talk about this later. We both have to get back to work; you know how Naraku senior gets when he can't watch his favourite dancer." Her mother tried to sound cheerful but her voice was obviously lined with disgust.
Kagome sighed and followed her mother through the door to the club, but not taking one last look around the back alley, purposefully ignoring the body by the trash bin, and not noticing the shadows of three figures on the ground.
"Well so much for having more fun tonight."
"Shut up! She was really hot though. Kagome was her name right?"
"What did she say about school?"
