A week had flew by, while she felt drained and unsure of everything and everyone. Her being the top student with the high marks were slowly starting to drop. She barely had any inspiration to write a story relating to the sappy romantic story, " Only if you could catch me." She didn't want to write an ending for it. Many made it a happy ending, but with her she changed it. She erased a huge part of them coming back together and looking at the sunset she began to hate it, even though the teacher adored it and used it as a example for class.
" It's so stupid. Why did I even put a happy ending? I mean that's not real. It would never happen like that!"
Kagome began beating herself up, rubbing her temples with pen marks all over her arms and fingertips and her white eraser was as black as anything. She narrowed her eyes putting her final touches on her story.
' She had never expected to hit her harder. It was like an arrow through her heart. The man she loved never real cared for her, as much as he claimed. She couldn't believe him. He ripped her apart, ripped away everything they had for a future together. They were meant to be together forever but instead he threw it all away after he killed himself when he heard about his old girlfriend. Now here she was, saying the only way she'd see him was through her dreams and among the stars.'
Kagome finally was done writing. She placed it simply on her desk, as people whispered about her more and more with each passing day. The happy go lucky Kagome, wasn't happy go lucky anymore. Everybody could see that. The bell rang, as she headed out as people held her back in the halls.
" Oh Kagome. I'm sorry about Inuyasha. I'm so sorry to hear about it. Here, take this. Hopefully this will make you feel alittle bit better."
Cherry held it out, who sat behind her in English class. Her curly red hair bounced from her shoulders, handing her what looked like different styles of tea, and relaxing bath stuff that was suppose to help to reduce stress. She took it off of her and smiled out of kindness, and only out of kindness.
" Thank you so much."
Kagome muttered walking away as she hated this type of attention. She rather crawl under a rock and die at this moment. Sango stood by her completely silent, knowing Kagome wouldn't want to talk at this time. She had his picture attached to her locker, the only one she had of him. He stood in the backyard just when it hit morning, against the chair swing that he laid on just waking up. He looked bitter, but the same time it was cute. He didn't like his picture taken, but he let that go after she snapped one.
She flew downstairs and sat against the stairs that lead to the café where she had her 'poison' problem that sent her directly to the hospital. She remembered him trying to shake her and realizing now there was a problem with her. Sango also being there, helping out the best way she could. She sat on the steps looking at the huge parking lot and the soccer field that surrounded the school. She saw some guys skateboarding at the edge of the parking lot, as Sango grabbed a bite of her hamburger offering it to her.
" You want it? I mean you haven't eaten almost all day."
Kagome placed her hand in front of her, and shaking her head making a funny face showing she rather die than touch caf food again.
" Ya well I don't wanna risk getting sent back to the hospital again."
She muttered with her one hand holding her head up, as the wind blew harder as she heard a guy's voice she recognize laughing hard stumbling out the minute Kagome had caught his eye. He placed his hand on her shoulder, as he winked at her clearly he was infatuated with her, but she didn't mind him right now anyways. Sango felt like a third wheel when he stumbled by, as she looked at Kagome and dashed off into the caf to get more food. Kouga took the empty seat on the step beside her and smiled kindly.
" Kagome, I heard the news. I know you probably heard this from a million people but I'm sorry this happened to you out of all people, including him. I could see how happy you two were together, and I know your hurting even though your not showing it."
Kagome felt his arm nudge around her shoulder dragging her in, as much as she didn't love him, or his touchiness for that matter. She wasn't rude she accepted it, feeling so loved and loved how he understood her more than she understood herself. He placed his head on her shoulder, as she wished his arms were only Inuyasha's. She smiled as he made her laugh with stupid jokes and what happened at football practice.
" Shut up! I'm the champ because of that! I don't care if my shorts were down. Well ok maybe I did but still! Oh, I forgot to give this to you."
He dug into his pocket and gave her a small box that had a pink bow around it, with a few beautiful flowers that made her gush.
" Kouga! You didn't have to do this for me!"
She cried out seeing a beautiful necklace that had a diamonds on it, knowing in one way or another he was trying to win over her affection and get her to be his girlfriend. She smiled softly and looked down at her new presents.
" Aw well. I felt I had to. So does this mean you're my girlfriend now?"
Kagome didn't know what to say. She chuckled how hard he tried, to get her to fall in love with him. She looked at him for a moment and didn't know how she'd break it to a stubborn guy that had his eyes fixed on her for ages.
" Kouga.. let's me say this. I wouldn't want that to happen because it would ruin our friendship and I don't want me, or you to get hurt. So it's safer being friends. You understand it?"
She made it smooth in order to save her butt, but he nodded and winked at her before he sped off.
" Oh.. I get it. Your one smart girl Kagome. Someday you'll be mine. Just you wait."
Kagome held the flowers in her hands, as Sango came back with some more food and cookies she had gotten off of Miroku. She sat down beside her and laughed.
" Did Romano, try to swoon you again?" Sango cackled knowing those type of gifts could only come from him nobody else. e wind blew harder as she finally felt great that he was gone. She shrugged off the feeling of his arms around her that almost felt creepy to her, like he was a stalker. Sango broke off a piece of a cookie by sections and placed them to her lips.
" Yep."
Kagome said flatly knowing right now she wanted to be left alone, and all the time in the world left to herself, as selfish as it seemed. She knew she still needed to work on some homework while she felt bad she always seemed to be ditching Sango. She beamed for a moment looking at Sango who was so eager to save her, from herself.
" Umm Sango? I'm gonna go on my own for abit. I got homework to catch up on anyways."
Sango understood the hint, as pressed off the stairs smiling, as she didn't mind.
" Don't worry, I'm just gonna see Miroku for abit… and tell him to shut up about my ass!"
She screaming knowing she could hear it from where she was standing. Kagome nodded waving off as Sango waltzed in, hearing guys whistling and her plainly standing there with a fist raised with Miroku's hands creeping for her ass
Kagome did a full walk around the school until she found a perfect spot to sit, right underneath the shade of a maple tree. Nobody else lingered around the front of the school; half were out to lunch and many were inside keeping cool knowing it was blazing hot outside barely anyone could stand it.
Kagome flipped open her note book grabbing a pencil and lazily writing her work down. She knew her grades were slipping, and she was frustrated because she couldn't make it sound great, or make it outstanding as she thought it was.
" Damnit! I can't write!"
Kagome cried out throwing a ball of crumbled paper into the air, not even realizing the bell rang less than five minutes ago. She was too concerned of making it sound so good she didn't pay attention to the surroundings around her. She'd glance up now and then looking at the apartments down the street, and seeing a student coming late wearing completely all black. She thought he was nuts when it was practically a heat wave. She didn't care though, the shade from the tree did her quite fine.
She thought of Inuyasha for another moment, and shook her head trying to get back to her work.
" How can I think if he's on my mind? It's too hard to!"
She threw another ball of paper that hit something else than the ground. She heard a noise as she removed her eyes from the notebook, and saw the guy in black standing there that made her feel uneasy.
" You shouldn't be throwing paper. And shouldn't you be in class?"
He muttered underneath his breath, picking the paper up and throwing it directly into the garbage can a couple feet from where they were standing. She just laughed, simply amused and alittle agitated by this guy that was bothering her, and that came out of no where.
" Ha that's funny. I'm busy working. What is it to you!"
She began writing harder with her pencil with plushie in her lap, and the note now stashed in her shirt pocket for only her to read, nobody else. He bent down beside her, as she edged away from him getting all defensive and pissed off.
" Nothing really. I just don't wanna go to school. Besides you seem like a girl who's searching for a guy correct?"
Kagome bit down on her lip harder, enough to draw blood. She didn't know what he was trying to pull, but he sounded like he was hitting on her for sure. She just sneered, and backed way and bitched at him fully trying to work on her work, without interruptions.
" Ya sure. What does it matter, asshole?"
She stood from where she was sitting in the grass, that left an imprint as she looked up at him as he chuckled and looked at her with a smile that made her feel nervous and uneasy.
" You sure he hasn't found you yet?"
When she heard the line, it struck something in her heart. She almost wanted him to repeat what he said, but she heard it loud and clear. She stood in silence staring at him, feeling her heart break when she heard that line. It pulled at her heart strings, as she raised an eyebrow trying to figure this guy out. She blinked for a moment, and laughed after the silence. It didn't have to make sense, all she knew it made her happy.
" Inuyasha! Oh my god it's you!"
She screamed out loud, excited as ever. She dropped the dog in a instant wrapping her arms around his neck as she pulled down the hood he was wearing and could barely speak she was so happy. Her heart instantly skipped a beat, where the hole once was. After all the tears, and the notes she was for sure he was dead, even hearing his voice on the phone. She had forgotten to be mad at him, instead she jumped for joy practically wrapped her whole body around him.
He had never seen her eyes lit up so much before. Her eyes sparkled like diamonds, and her cheeks flushed bright red as she was so happy she felt she could cry. She flew into her arms, looking at his rough looking face, and the full body of black hair knowing for sure it was him.
" I missed so much Inuyasha! You don't understand it!"
She cried out even louder, feeling his arms wrap around her body, keeping her safe and secure with his one hand caressing her and holding her head as it buried into his shoulders knowing it was stained now with make-up and tears. He didn't dare to let go of the embrace, he understood the scare and the broken heart he gave her, but he smiled knowing now everything was going to be ok now that she was with him again. He chuckled at her excitement and placed his lips near her ears almost touching it.
" Believe me, I do. I missed you so much Kagome!"
He told her, embracing each other what seemed like hours. Her notebook and her belongings were left on the grass as she felt all her strength, and happiness coming back in a instant. She felt him coolly kiss her on the cheek out of happiness, as his dark mocha colored eyes told her ' everything is going to be ok.'. He caught her tears as she pulled away for a moment, not understanding how this all added up. As far as she knew, he was suppose to be dead!
She shoved her finger into his chest, placing a scowl on her face and chewing him out as he had expected it before he could explain. She bleed even more tears so pissed off it was incredible.
" Wait a minute! Inuyasha you say you committed suicide and now your back? Why did you lie to me? Did you understand how much you cut me deep! I cried almost every night, sleeping in your room having a constant reminder of you! You bastard, how could you do this to me!"
She shoved her fingers hard into his chest, as he tried calming her down with the touch of his hands against her, but clearly she smacked it away.
" Kagome, shut your damn mouth for a fucking moment, so I explain!"
Kagome tapped her foot, irritated as hell as she threw herself down against the grass picking at her shoes and seeing him trying to explain it as best as possible. He gently grabbed her softly, and held her as much as she didn't want to, she couldn't say no to it. His fingers lifted her chin as her scowl didn't disappear. He held her softly and smiled sincerely as he explained his story.
" Did you really think I'd commit suicide Kagome! I'd have to be out of my damn mind! That note that you found wasn't from me. I'd never do that to myself or you. I care too much to hurt you like that. I never told you Kagome but Marla was the one who left the bruises on my body. Kagome you didn't listen enough to hear me out! She hates me, and she left these ones too, if you don't believe me!"
He pulled his shirt up revealing his toned stomach, but more so huge bruises that were black and blue that covered his body basically look like smack marks, and objects that pounded him. Kagome clamped her hand over her mouth, blown away, unsuspecting that Marla whom she thought was sweet did this to him. She began to cry even harder when she saw it, feeling so stupid she didn't take his word for it.
" Oh Inuyasha! I'm so sorry I didn't believe you! I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
She cried over hugging him tightly, as he smiled holding her close and nodded.
" I know you are Kagome. When I was left alone with Marla, she told me that I wasn't needed around in hopes I'd leave on my own. But instead she grabbed me and beat me, and threw me in the fucking car, and left me to basically die! She threw me near that desert part and I was miles away from here. That fucking bitch. So then she wrote a note saying I committed suicide because I couldn't handle life.."
Kagome gasped but then she stopped for a moment and blinked again.
" What about that phone call? You said that you hated yourself and was leaving! I know that was your voice Inuyasha!"
Inuyasha signed touching her face gingerly, and hated this all. He suffered because of Marla and felt bad because Kagome now realized what a monster she was.
" Kagome look. I didn't say that. I called you at the hospital to inform you about something important that will also hit you hard, like it did me. I said I hated myself for telling you this, and said good-bye and that I'd see you there. I know for god damn sure I didn't say that! Wait.. was the phone cutting out?"
Kagome thought back remember hearing a noise through the phone, having trouble hearing his voice. She nodded, while he held her close to his body as another period passed and people shuffled around, while they went unnoticed by teachers or students. The wind picked up again, as she held her skirt down with one hand.
" Now that I think of it the phone sounded messy."
Kagome commented, as he held her tighter apologizing for all he was worth.
" I'm so sorry Kagome you had to be put through this. I'm so sorry. I was on the cordless outside telling you this. I assumed you heard me. I was ready to go to the hospital until Marla stepped in after I heard her secret and dragged me to that desert ready to leave me to die, and let everyone believe I committed suicide."
Kagome sat down again, patting the grass as an indication to sit. She rested her head on his shoulder and smiled with delight as a butterfly past by.
" I'm happy you're here, and to hear your alive. But how were you able to get back here, when you stuck in the desert?"
He smiled again, blushing as her head rested calmly on his shoulder, as he got comfortable against the side of the tree.
" Oh, I tried to get people's attention from cars, anyone that could help me. Finally someone stopped and gave me a bottle of water since I was dying from thirst. They dropped me off around the corner and I came back to tell you all this. That fucking bitch Marla did all this to me, and I'm sorry she made you believe she was something she fucking wasn't!"
His hands transformed into fists, as Kagome wanted to cry because she believed her over him. Kagome nodded smiling at the shake he was alive, and here. She didn't have to dream to see him, or see the night sky to be close with him. He was here, and that was all that mattered to her. He smiled kindly throwing her a small candy bar as she nodded and took a bite out of it. She clapped her hands together calmly, with her head now again his chest feeling his heart skipping a beat.
" So what was that important thing you were gonna tell me?"
Kagome asked taking another bite of the bar wiping her hands clean, and throwing the wrapper into the bin. She fixed her long hair that flew with the wind, taking in the sweet scent of flowers that were around them somewhere. He finished his last piece, opening a pop and swallowing hard. He didn't want to say it, it would hurt her more than ever.
" Kagome don't hate me if I tell you alright?"
Kagome nodded quietly, acting as though she could take on anything.
" Look. I over heard her conversation with one of her friends. She had talked about missing her daughter Kikyo, who we haven't seen since she died years ago in a house fire. She said she wanted a daughter only because she'd feel better. She stumbled upon you and you two looked identical because I saw the picture she was holding of her. She took you only because she wanted you, and you reminded her so much of her daughter. She took me because you wouldn't leave without me. After hearing that conversation she bitched at me, took me to that desert and wrote the note."
Inuyasha took a deep breath, taking another sip of his coke seeing it was light weight, almost empty. Her happy expression died down, knowing this was another arrow struck through her heart. To find out the girl who pretended to be her mother can seemed so nice, wasn't all the things she seemed. And to find out that information torn her to bits.
Inuyasha gently rubbed her back for comfort, as she glared at the thought of her.
" How could I have been so stupid! I can't believe her! I was only a freaking pawn in her game!"
Inuyasha smiled for a moment, as the warning bell rang for the end of school, as people were waiting by the doors to leave. Inuyasha winked at her, and held her close for comfort and looked out into a sky with a chuckle, and cocked his head back to her. She rose an eyebrow at what could he be laughing at, but now it didn't seem like a bad idea.
" Kagome, look. We can't suffer under that wench anymore. She doesn't care about any of us. She's a fucking bitch. I know one way out of this.. as crazy as it sounds.. We'll run away. Leave this place behind."
Kagome seemed almost surprised by this comment, and stuttered abit when she heard his daring idea that she felt like she could follow through with. She didn't think it was bad to run away now with him, after all they could find themselves an apartment and live together in peace under their own rules and be free from her grasp. Before she considered in a good idea, her heart sank for many reasons knowing she was attach to other people than himself.
" Inuyasha.. What about Sango, Miroku, Mark…what about all of them? We can't abandon them!"
Inuyasha looked at her for a moment with a daring look in his eye like he had way more up his sleeve than she realized. He gently touched her cheek, feeling chills run up and down her spine and a rush going straight through her that was pretty much enchanting. When he did that, she automatically stood quiet waiting on him for whatever he was going say or do. Her surrounds finally disappearing, feeling herself fear the worst yet ready for the best to come. The staring was nerve racking, he looked as though he was trying to figure her out. He could read she was nervous, but he shook that from his mind and leaned it closer with his one hand laid over hers.
SHe lightly closed her eyes, as she couldn't let herself back away now. She was stiff, frozen to the spot feeling her heart going out of control feeling everything else around her vanish. His lips pressed softly against hers. He licked his lips, as finally the rush had subsided.
" What, did you think you were doing?"
Kagome defended herself, as he laughed harder than expected.
" You had chocolate on your lip, idiot."
Kagome stood feeling herself ready to snap.
" That's it!"
He rolled his eyes and snapped back at her.
" What the hell were you expecting?"
" A miracle..."
Kagome still blushing hard, just turned away for a moment while she sat bad for a moment glancing at him oddly knowing that was just a smooth cover up of his, in order to do that. She didn't really say anything about it. She knew as awkward as it was, she enjoyed every moment of it.
She just folded her books shutting them tightly taking in the fresh air, as he sat beside her in silence with her head leaning faithfully on his shoulder, like she had truly known him all her life. She just chuckled at a thought, while he kept a keen eye on her seeing her beaming, and wondering what could be so funny. He watched her for a couple of seconds, until the point he was fed up with this laughter.
" What the fuck are you laughing it!"
He yelled, as she smiled delighted barely even phased by his rude comments. She just watched some people walking down the street and turned back to him.
" Oh…Just nothing…nothing at all…"
She gave a little smile, as he was already getting frustrated by her already. She quietly stood from where she was standing with her books pressed against her chest, now realizing people were coming out and school was officially over. She went to walk, as she felt him a strong tug at her arm. Not really rough, just enough to get her full attention.
He easily wiped her around, as she spun finding her one hand against his chest, and the other in mid-air still attached by his right hand. He plainly looked down on her, with the look he was pretty much pissed off enough as it was. She just shivered for a moment, staring at his facial features and drawn in by his dark brown eyes, that appeared black from far away. She noticed he had alittle bit of green it you could barely see, unless you were truly up close where she was.
" Ok your not going anywhere until you tell me what's funny!"
Kagome groaned seeing she was practically in a hurry, as she tried to slip herself out of his grip but just wound up in the same position, only with more force feeling herself crash into his chest and getting worried and frustrated. She just smacked him in the chest hard, barely making it a foot away from him.
" Come on Inuyasha, I have no time for games alright? I need to meet Sango, and get my homework!"
His breath just tickled her neck, as he sighed letting her go free and threw his arm towards him folded standing slightly to the side. He just lowered his head, hiding behind his shield of long manish like bangs barely seeing his eyes shining through.
" Fine. Be that way. Great to know you care that I'm alive!"
He screamed out, as Kagome had already dashed away a couple of feet looking back, anxiously expecting to make a game out of him. She wanted him to chase her for the hell of it, but instead she looked back and he had disappeared. She scanned around for a couple of moments and stomped her foot, feeling herself scowl as she flew open the door almost knocking some girl in the face.
" Typical of him! What an asshole!"
She told herself, rushing upstairs as she threw her bag of her shoulders, and rushing back down towards the caf stairs where she'd meet Sango and mostly having Miroku tag along for a moment or so. She ran faster feeling her flip-flops sliding off her feet, running towards the bright white light of sunshine that made her eyes water for a moment. She realized no one had been there. She just threw herself back down on the steps pouting.
" What a jerk! He can't just walk with me to get my stuff? Is that so much to ask of him? Gah, he makes me sound like such a heartless bitch. I just can't believe what he said is true. It's almost like I can't believe it. I believed Marla who pretended to love me, and him and yet this is all new to me. The bruises, the lies, everything. I can't believe she'd do such a thing and yet, I never believed a word of it. I was too busy loving my life, one that I never had to even pay attention to him. I was too concerned about myself…But yet even after all this here he is, coming back to me. No matter what I do, I can't shove him away, even if I wanted to. He sticks around because he knows I need him, whether I admit to it or not. He's pretty sure that we'll run away together somehow.. It sounds like he planned this from the start. It's a crazy idea but-"
Kagome's train of thought was stopped, as she heard someone place their feet beside her seeing Inuyasha standing there with his arms folded with the mean look on his face, that seemed tattooed on there. She just blinked, and smacked him up side the head with the book before he could say a word.
" I thought you left me!"
He shook his head taking a spot beside her, as now senior football players were rushing out with their uniforms on and glimpsing at Kouga who was yelling and rushing down the field, yet turning around almost knowing Kagome was there, and had enough time to wave and flash a smile before he scored a goal.
" No idiot!"
Kagome just shook her head, and placed it against her lap, with her hairs stressfully through her hair, and bounced back up with a fading smile.
" How did you know I'd be here?"
He grinned with delight, taking in the fresh air watching Kouga getting beaten down to the ground as Kagome made a 'damn that hurt' face almost, like she could feel the poundings herself. She still had his gifts but had managed to take it, but knew for sure she wasn't going to be parading around with it on like he had expected.
" I know a lot of things. You meet with Sango all the time here. So, you think she's already left yet?"
Kagome played with the necklace in her hands watching it sparkle as the sun's rays hit it, blinding them, as she heard more people screaming from the field and hearing a huge thud seeing someone getting beaten into the ground. She just shook her head at the necklace she was given and placed it into her shirt pocket.
" Hopefully. Usually she's late because she was busy on something. Inuyasha? I'm glad your back. I've never missed so much before believe it or not. I thought I lost you like everybody else.. But with you, you make me feel-"
He smiled, and pulled her closer towards him in comfort as she clapped her hands together and felt his chin nudge against the side of her hand, and his arms holding her so she wouldn't fall flat on her face
" Home."
He flashed a smile, as Kagome waited patiently for Sango to hurry up while the school was all quiet, and no more students were lingering around. All of them had gone; but for Kagome she barely even realized it when she was around him. It was like the world around her faded, with him around making her feel happy and secure. He had sworn he could never trust a single soul again, but there he was with her.
Kagome giggled delightfully with a scaristic grin, making her eyes disappeared flashing the purest smile she could possible give.
" How did you know what I was gonna say?"
He just rolled his eyes and looked down at her for a moment, watching her hair dance in the wind as she tucked it behind her ears, hoping that would keep it tamed.
" I don't know.. I just do…"
Sango began rushing down the stairs with her books and papers a mess in her hands, knowing she had to finish at test she had messed before. She attempted to run in her tall sleek black boots that were knee high, feeling like her legs were about to give about before she even reached the stairs where she'd meet Kagome.
" Kagome there you are!"
She screamed excitedly out of breath, and had paused when she saw the body of a guy behind her with a full set of wavy messy like black hair, and an outfit that matched. Sango stopped for a moment, as Inuyasha swung his head around to see Sango and placed a gentle smile on his face as he stepped off the stairs.
" Inuyasha, your alive!"
Sango screamed as Kagome blinked feeling him tug at her shirt annoyingly, that she didn't mind for that moment. Kagome smiled, and hugged Sango knocking her on the head.
" Of course he is!"
They slowly began walking past the huge oak tree and passed by the small little park from the small kids school, planted right beside them. A few kids were just running back from recess as Kagome and Sango couldn't resist and place a cute smile on when they saw them.
" But.. I mean…how!"
They had walked for thirty minutes at a slow pace, as Kagome explained most of the story of what had happened to him. He added with a few points feeling the blood rushing through his veins when he spoke about the missing daughter, and the actual reason why Kagome was actually with them. Sango had heard a good twenty minutes of it with her eyes widened, and her hands clamped over her mouth when he showed her the bruises for prove.
" Oh my god.. I can't believe she'd do this to both of you!"
Inuyasha nodded not even really speaking another word of it. He didn't want to bring up anymore hurt, and shame and didn't want to continue it either. Kagome sighed, placing her head to the ground watching how all their feet walked at the same pace as they were slowly nearing the break off point where'd they go their separate ways. Sango looked at both of them almost teary eyed, and shocked almost like this had happened to her instead of them.
" What are you guys gonna do!"
Inuyasha stared down at Kagome, almost like they could read what they were trying to say in each other's eyes they were that close. His eyes shone at her, with his eyebrows narrowing and her feeling emotions overwhelming her. She knew what he was trying say, she just wish she could find another way out with it, and make it work for both of them.
Kagome just turned around and hugged her tightly, feeling tears already slipping down her cheeks before she even explained what was going on. Inuyasha stood in the distance, watching Kagome bleeding her heart out on her sleeve.
" San..go.. I'm sorry but the only way were both gonna get out of this hell is to run away. We decided there is no better way, but I promise we'll keep in touch. I promise you."
It was like a shockwave through Sango. It hit her completely all at once, drowning her with all this information that they seem to keep in hiding. Sango's eyes were overwhelmed in tears hugging her tightly, almost sworn like she was never going to let go. She gave her a friendly kiss on the cheek, upset at the fact they had to live and go somewhere else but at the same time happy they would both be free from this hell.
" Thank god! I can't believe your leaving that's all. But I understand. I'm going to miss you guys so much."
Sango whimpered, as Kagome held her tightly crying even harder because she was.
" I know you will, but I promise you we'll keep in touch. Hopefully when we find some place to live I'll make sure first thing is to call you! Alright?"
Sango wiped her tears and pulled away looking at the young, happy Kagome wiping the residue of tears off her rosy cheeks. She tucked her ebony hair behind both her ears, as the wind began to pick up blowing some dirt into their faces as they coughed.
" You better!"
Sango screamed already waving off, trying to hold back her tears as she slowly walked forward into the direction of her house walking slowly to borrow some time to say a few things.
Kagome laughed harder as Inuyasha waved as well with a smile on his face, hearing Kagome's sincere laugh travel towards her.
" Don't worry I'll make sure she will! Bye Sango take care!"
Kagome felt now the tears began to pour more than ever. Inuyasha held his hand up feeling the sun glowing brighter, barely seeing even a foot in front of him without him wincing. He turned to Kagome with a crooked smile, swinging her in closely reassuring her everything was going to be just fine; that was something she loved of him; how he cared about her more than anybody else.
" Kagome, I promise it's going to be ok. I know it's a bitch to change this all again, but were not fucking staying here to get our lives screwed up even worse, and you know that, come on I've already got our stuff packed and we better leave before Marla comes home."
Kagome blinked as they passed by the thick tall forest she had remembered clearly sleeping there thinking of him, wishing he was back; and he was. She remembered feeling scared and alone and eventually rushed back home, to the comfort of sleeping in his room drowning herself in a world that was his. She could tell he had this planned from the start, and wasn't gonna let anything else cross his mind. He was too stubborn too, and he understood now this was the only way.
" You already had this planned out?"
Kagome was amazed, shocked as he shrugged it off with a small smile as they neared the nice cottage looking house that smelt of wood, and had beautiful flowers lined up around it.
" Feh, of course. Mark already knows. Come on let's hurry, we need to leave before Marla comes back."
Kagome nodded rushing into the house, with his hand holding onto hers as she was dragged inside to the smell of cleaner, and the smell of thick wood.
Mark was sitting at the kitchen table with his face buried into the newspaper, all sweaty in his work uniform. He threw down the newspaper as he had this worried look on his face when he understood what was going on when he saw the two.
" You two hurry up and go! She's already called and she's at least two minutes away!"
Kagome nodded as they flew down the stairs, seeing two huge bags filled with clothing, all thrown messy like into the huge bag. She saw her room was now empty, with her huge black bag now overflowing with all the clothes, and his, barely any. Inuyasha smiled as he grabbed a slip of paper leaving a little note for Marla to read.Mark saw them with bags slung over their shoulders, rushing as he handed them a thing of money hoping it was enough to keep them alive.
" Here you two. I'm so sorry you went through this. I'm sorry."
Kagome nodded sadly, as she wrapped her arms tightly around her father figure, feeling sad getting pulled away from him when she knew he was the nicest, person that ever made her felt really like a ' daughter'. He was smiled, holding back his tears as Kagome whispered.
" Thank you so much, for everything."
Mark nodded, shaking off the sappy sad routine, of letting go of a girl that came out of their lives faster than she had ever came into theirs. He couldn't really let go of her, after all in his eyes he really actually saw her as ' his daughter'. But he understood it was for the best, as he shoved them through.
" What are you waiting for, go!"
Kagome and Inuyasha nodded rushing through the back door, as Mark sighed as he heard a car furiously pulling up in the driveway. She smacked open the door completely pissed off, looking at Mark without realizing them running away.
" I had to take a god damn bus home! You know that? Because you had to the god damn car. I had to take a fucking bus Mark. Do you understand that's for fat, disgusting low ranked people?"
She screamed as he tried drowning her out. She rushed upstairs opening the door peering in to Kagome's room and noticing all her clothing, her make-up, everything disappeared and was out of sight. She felt herself tensing up as she grasped the small sticky note against the bed.
Bitch,
Thanks for trying to get rid of me, and making Kagome believe bullshit. She didn't buy it. So when you read this note were probably already long gone, away from you, you fucking bitch. Hope your happy, cause I know we will be. I hope you rot in hell for the things you did to me and Kagome. Have fun with your perfect life!
Marla screamed, and smacked her foot down in anger crumbling up the paper hammering down on the stairs and rushing towards Mark who tried to remain calm. She held up the note and showed it to him, like it was brand new.
" You asshole! You knew this was going to happen didn't you? Didn't you! Answer me!"
Mark stood from his chair glaring down at her, almost like he had smacked her in the face. He clearly glanced at her, feeling tears rushing into the corner of his eyes.
" Maybe I did. So what? Big fucking deal. I can't believe you! I let them go so you couldn't treat them like shit anymore. You made me lost two people that were important to me, and why? Because you're a fucking bitch. You know what? I've just realized something… Were done, and were through. Were filing for divorce."
He bitched at her swiftly grabbing his coat and swinging it over his shoulders heading for the car, smacking the windows with tears streaming down her cheek whimpering barely enough to make a sentence.
" But Mark please.. I love you! Can't you think this through?"
He gave her a jack-ass smile and he began backing away.
" I already have. Have fun sucking in another husband. And well I don't love you anymore. I'll be back, but not to see you."
Marla saw him driving away throwing herself down on the driveway whining, and bawling her eyes out like never before
" Come back! Please!
