His eyes light with desire, and the sign of happiness blossomed in his dull looking face. Kagome couldn't feel more thankful that those parents actually let that guy she cared for, into the family. His eyes chocolate eyes glanced back at the roughly manly looking women from the distance. Hating her living guts inside and out for all the pain and hell he suffered because of her. The bruises from her massive hands left huge purple and blue marks and cuts that would certainly not heal. His stomach was so frail, and the fist marks left a noticeable indent in his wounded stomach. It was something he'd never forget, and something Kagome could never put it behind her. Kagome's eyes witnessed every gruesome aspect, never having real food or starving to death begging and pleading just for food. They were animal locked in cages, and it was no happy orphanage like the ones Kagome had seen herself on tv. They were treated unfairly, even beaten to death and somehow they all managed to get away with it....

Kagome curiously stared into his chocolate eyes, as they proceeded to the light and the outside they were forbidden from all so long. His face still looked gloomy, a look of resent and hatred danced into his eyes instead of happiness of being free from the bars that held him hostage. "He's not even happy about being adopted..I wouldn't blame him after all the years of suffering..What else could you be thinking that's keeping you down?"

Kagome's voice echoed in her head, sternly looking at hate she could clearly see in his eyes. They continued walking leisurely striding until they smelt the fresh air filling they're lungs and the most beautiful surroundings seeing birds flying in the breeze. His bare feet felt stones digging underneath his skin, gazing at the world he had missed so much, and was forbidden from. The highway was as dead as ever, and only turkey vultures soared beautifully around in circles moving like they were dancing.

In his eyes to her it was almost like he couldn't trust them. It was hard enough for him to be through hell teasingly back and forth and always lead back exactly where he started. With nothing, absolutely nothing. Now, he had gained something he felt so positive about and that was Kagome. He tried to keep the smile on his face, but he was resisting and holding back and didn't know whether his life was going in the right direction, or wrong he didn't know anymore. The parents were overjoyed having a beautiful young daughter, along with a son they never thought they'd asked for but all they wanted was a family of they're own. The blonde women hands grabbed her keys seeing the blue car they owned parked in the distance of the vague run down parking lot. Kagome could see the cracks in the pavement and could understand it was a bigger hellhole inside and out. Kagome couldn't feel so at peace in serenity, a feeling that she hadn't felt for a long time. His eyes looked back at the hell he just rose out of, unsure if life would be in his favor or get worse with him.

"Were so lucky to have a family of our own now.." The blonde women whispered laughing linking arms with her younger husband who could only gaze back with a beaming face purely with delight. Kagome finally could smell the real air instead of stench of blood and dust clogging up they're lungs. Finally, she could see life was going in the right direction, and she wanted this to remain that way. Kagome's eyes hazel eyes dancing around hearing the footsteps behind her suddenly stop. Her head swung around noticing him refusing to move any further with his eyes completely staring into nothing. "Hey, aren't you coming?" Her cheery voice echoed into his ears, but not a single word came from his lips. His head lowered down hiding the facial expression on his pale dull looking face. "Kagome, something doesn't feel right. Who says this is any better than that hellhole?"

Kagome was struck down by his words, hearing his deepened voice sternly speaking seriously and he truly meant what came from his mouth. She could see the happiness dimming like he couldn't believe the world was truly right. His point of view seemed all the world had to offer was misery, and nothing happy could ever last. Kagome felt dirt whisk into her eyes making her blink. Coughing the nasty soil that filled her lungs. Her hands softly grasp onto his rough beaten hands, gently pulling forward in towards her feeling the warmth from her fingertips against his. Her smile just grew bigger softly leaning in to his ears gently whispering, " It's better than nothing. You never know until you try..."

Kagome could gently feel his hand clasped on her, trying to build his confidence and show him that the world didn't offer all the sadness and the heated hell like he saw it. Her hands softly pulled back, seeing the hidden smile on his beaten lips trying make him realize the good things in life he truly missed out on. She understood it was hard what he went through, but he needed to put the past behind him and walk ahead whenever he was lead..but this time he wasn't alone...

Kagome began heading to the bright sky blue colored car, laying against the leather seats knowing this was her ticket out, and never again would they have to return. His hands unfolded giving one last glance at the orphanage breathing in deeply clearing his awful thoughts that intoxicated his mind. "She's right..I've gotta new life and I'm not alone anymore. We'll make the best of it, and leave this shitty past behind me.." His head rose into the air, feeling his soft lush black bangs receding backwards from the breeze finally feeling enlightened and completely happy. A feeling he never thought he'd feel ever again...

She could finally see the confidence inside and she could read it just by looking into his eyes, and she could didn't have to see him hide his head any longer. He threw himself against the leather seats feeling the car starting up bulking himself for a ride and a new life that would change for the better. His head only stared back through the window, watching the dust flying into the air seeing the orphanage getting smaller and smaller until it disappeared off into the distance. His hands grasped the seats making sure it was gone, and finally threw himself back with the biggest smile she'd ever seen him wear. Finally, they were on a road and the orphanage he practically grew up disappeared along with his hate and anger. His head cocked towards the direction of the window, watching them pass by all the small shops, and the huge wide abandon fields filled with dead grass and broken down barns. Kagome could only laugh seeing the expression that before ceased to exist. Kagome gave a sigh of relief knowing they were both out together, and knowing they were free and wasn't trapped anymore. " Finally your happy. You deserve this after everything you went through. You deserve all of this..." Kagome thought seeing him memorized by the things and places they passed by on the highway. She knew even if things seemed tough she believed things would get better, and it did Her hands laid beside his own grasping his hands silently feeling the warmness against his huge thick hands. His chocolate eyes stared aimlessly at the hands and up to her bright face, knowing what she was saying without words.

His face gently began burning red, feeling his long black hair draping over his bare shoulders. His hands gently clasped against hers staring out into the distance understanding what she was trying to say. "I know Kagome, we finally made it together..."
