Kagome could feel her heart pounding through her chest as his fingers held staring into his deceiving eyes. Tears began to form from her eyes as he felt his gentle touch upon her. He smoothly took his hands away when he saw the tears as he sat back at the corner staring at her understanding that something was wrong. The lights began to flicker as water dripped from the pipes as it echoed through the hallway. "You really wanna know what happened? My family is dead alright!?" Kagome viciously told him as she hid her head in between her lap, as sobs were the only thing that came from her mouth. The boy leaned against the bars with one knee up as his other laid on the floor. His emotionless face began to grin as a chuckle soon came. Her eyes looked at the arrogant boy, laughing as though it was a joke, and nothing was.
Kagome could feel the blood rushing through her veins, and a scowl on her face she couldn't control. She rose to her feet, and calmly walked towards him as she wasn't gonna let him laugh about her family dead any longer. From what she thought, he was a sick bastard. He could see the hate and the anger clearly forming in her eyes and he didn't understand exactly why. Kagome feared him but a comment like that she wasn't gonna let it go. "You think this is funny? Well I don't!!" She screamed as his face was suppose to be left with a burning hand mark. Instead he grasped her wrist as he gave a light grin like he was up to know good. "There's no use wasting your time crying. That didn't help me and it won't help you. It isn't easy living without family, you understand what's it like now don't you? Kagome, you have a lot to learn..." His grip slowly stopped as his hands suddenly released hers. His words hit her like a thousand knives, and made chills go up her spine. He seemed nothing but heartless. An empty soul who had no compassion for they're pain, only to laugh at they're suffering. His mind always seemed to hit the gutters, and so bitter towards anyone who came near. Kagome couldn't understand why he behaved like this, but she wasn't about to ask.
"Don't think you're the only one here hurting badly. My father died at least when I was five in a motor cycle accident. My mom wanted a daughter and not a son but sadly she got me. Before my father died she had another child that was a baby girl. Once she had the girl she planned to get rid of me and it didn't seem like she cared about me. So she sent me here when I was eight years old. She lied to me, promising she'd come back. I've waited for ever and still she hasn't returned. I've been here ten years, and been adopted so many times. So don't think your life is all that bad, at least you had a god damn real family. Instead of families who pretends they are your own." Kagome began to understand why he was bitter, and arrogant. His eyes were ready to shed tears, as he began ripping more holes in his jeans. He hated anyone that gotten close to him like he couldn't trust a living soul, accept himself. He began to laugh as his bangs hidden how he truly felt. "You won't be staying here long at all. So don't you dare cry right now."
Kagome blinked, confused by his comment as she leaned closer beside him.
She draped over her ivory skirt, as she crossed her legs over each other. "Why would you say that?" Still she remained confused waiting for a response to clear things up. He laughed like she was an idiot glancing at her cheerful face. He began playing with the bars as he sighed. His head lowered to the ground, as his raven black hair began to sweep the ground. "Because your beautiful alright? That's why all the damn girls are practically gone. Wouldn't be surprised if your gone in the next hour." He muttered flipping the penny he hid in his pockets. Kagome's white face turned scarlet as she looked down towards the ground and back at his bitter face. She thought it was odd for a nice compliment coming from his mouth but that proved her wrong. "He just called me beautiful?" She was stunned by who it came from as he could see a small smile forming at her lips. He had a worried look painted on his face as she already gotten the wrong idea. "You think I'm beautiful?" She laughed amused as his face either went scaret from anger, or embarrassment. His hands turned into fists as he snapped viciously in her face. " Don't you dare take it that way. It was a compliment don't have to breathe down my neck for it!"
Kagome began to stand to her feet tired of his rude behavior, and anger. She could tell he had a short wick and a low tolerance for anyone but himself. "Why are you so mean to me!?" Kagome screamed as his chocolate eyes remained hidden from her. He felt drops of water splash on him, from the cracks of the pipes. He didn't have to hide any secrets or tell her lies. He told her how it was, "Listen Kagome don't expect to come marching in here and tell me how to change! This is what happens when your different and all alone. You can't trust anyone." Kagome couldn't think of herself turning out like that, and she never planned to. She couldn't make out why he could explain and expose so much about himself if he wanted to remain hidden. She had a deep suspicion he wasn't who she thought he was. If he claimed hating her so much, then why he decide to tell her about his life and how he was? She hinted he wasn't the guy he pretended to be then again she could always be wrong.
Kagome stretched out her legs, raising an eyebrow towards him. His eyes stared at the ceiling, with a angered face that seemed as though it was plastered on his face. She began running her fingers through her black hair and took a deep breath. "If you don't trust anyone, why are you telling me this?" His eyes glanced at hers biting his lips and he flipped the coin back into his hand. To Kagome, it didn't make sense, for a guy who claims he couldn't trust a soul told her everything. To him, she was a threat or maybe at the start. His long black hair touched the floor, trying to get the an answer to the question he wish he could have avoided. "You might as well understand everything...Trust me you'll never be happy and expect your life to be twisted upside down." He lied to her somewhat. He brutally told her, as his eyes seem to stare right through her as though she didn't exist. Kagome began to fear what effect this was gonna have on her. She didn't wanna become heartless and letting her life waste to nothing. She knew everyone must have had normal lives until they were thrown in this hellhole. Everyone changed into bitter jerks and she refused to become like the rest.
She couldn't tell if he was trying to torment her, or telling her the brutal truth of reality.
But she knew he was trying to get something across to her but she didn't understand.. Was it help? Or was it torment to see her suffer in pain and hell like the rest of the orphanage. She was surrounded by dirty, disgusting people that made her fear her life. "Is he telling me my life won't be the same anymore?" Kagome's mouth laid half open trying to shake the thoughts of her being heartless and soulless. His life she already knew was down the drain. He had no trust for anyone and he seemed to cut himself off from the real world. He just laid there to rot in a corner no intention to do anything about it. Kagome was sure he pretended to act tough, and she wasn't let him rot through the floors any longer. Kagome leaned closer placing her hands faintly on knees as his hanging head shot up within moments of her unexpected touch. His chocolate eyes looked like bloody daggers, like a psychopath ready to sloter and innocent by stander who had more to live for than him.
He brought his hands to hers by accident as he could see in her eyes, she was eager to ask something that there was no point responding to. She was just a girl who got thrown in the mix eager to help a guy that was eager to keep himself away from everyone. Kagome just stared at his look grasping his knees knowing he was ready to snap like a guy in a straitjacket. "Just hear me out please..." She begged hoping he'd listen to all the important ideas that might change him around. He quickly put his hand back as he laughed as he took everything for a joke. But he knew his life was no joke. Not even to the mourns he was surrounded by. They were all in the same boat. A boat that was about the sink into the depths of hell, one by one they'd drown and only few came to the surface. Himself, he was slowly drowning at this point. He could only snicker at the young girl's attempt to save him from himself. "Whatever your gonna to say isn't going to help me. Nothing bloody damn will .So I don't know why bitch your so god damn persist to try. I forgot you're a girl that dreams she'll one day get what she wants."
Kagome watched him steadily, as she grasped his knees harder to prove something, giving him hope to get out of this mess, he was thrown into. "I don't believe I'll get what I want! You don't know enough to judge me. But I know enough about you. Why don't you try to start over and get out of this place?" He viciously swatted her hand away as it flew back towards her lap as be stood up tall. Kagome felt smaller than she ever dud, and it seemed she went out of her own way to help someone far beyond repair. She remained quiet like a young scared girl who was guilty of something. "Start over? Feh, there was never a damn start and there will never be a finish. I don't think you've been here long enough to realize what position I'm in. No matter why I am, or who I'm with this will always remain my home. You can't run from something that is running after you. So there's no point of you running anymore." Kagome sat there completely speechless as his head against his knees staring into nothing. "So your giving up just like that!?" she screamed shaking him continuously as he freakishly turned his head towards her. "I gave up a hell of a long time ago. There's no point of trying to help me."
Both sat in dreaded silence he blankly stared at the walls, maybe it wasn't the greatest idea for her to try to rescue him it didn't look like he wanted to be. His head gradually lifted when he heard another door slam that was between they're hell and freedom. Every prisoner behind the cells awaited another victim to step down the hall when they heard the door. They heard heavy footsteps marching against the concrete floor as the heavy girl appeared the same women that brought Kagome to this hellhole. She slowly came out with trays of disgusting food heading towards Kagome's pitiful cell. "Look like you made new friends." She began to laugh as she placed the food down to the ground and he glared at her. "I told you once I'm not eating this shit!" He smacked the tray once again in her face. Slowly a grin came from the corner of her beaten red lips. She grabbed him viciously by the shirt until his feet dangled off the ground. Kagome stood stunned as he fearlessly looking at the angered over weight women "You dare say that again?!" Her massive hands grasped his shirt, hanging like a marionette on a string. "I'm not eating this shit...or wanna stare at a ugly, manly ogre like you."
Her face suddenly exploded red with massive anger as her eyes began to twitch. "Than you can damn well starve to death!!!" Her hands began to beat against his face, the errie sound of her abuse hands against his flesh echoed through out the place. Kagome began to clamp her mouth in horrid, as tears ran down her cheeks. She wanted to look away, but instead her eyes remained opening watching every grueling beating he could possibly take. Her body began to shake, and her eyes were overfilled like water in a sink. She winced each time she could hear her fists pounding into him. And she realized this was only the beginning.
