Inuyasha stepped out of the building and looked up at the sky. It was an entrancing golden color he could look at for hours. Suddenly he remembered his notes were still inside He had been in such a rush to get the hell out of there he had forgot them. They were just stepping down the steps so it wasn't as if he'd have to walk far so he turned to Kagome and told her he'd be right back running into the building towards the library.

Inside, he found his book still lying on the table where Kagome and him had been working. He picked it up and started out again, not wanting to leave Kagome out there to long, when suddenly the door to the library closed. And from behind the door out came Kikyo the class president. She looked sad and wouldn't look Inuyasha in the eyes.

"Ki…Kikyo", he stuttered as tears began to run down her face. She looked up at him slowly, not bothering to wipe the tears that continued to slide slowly down her face. "Inuyasha…I'm sorry. I'm sorry its just…its just that every time I look at you I long to be held by you", she looked back down at the ground and he watched as her teardrops dropped onto the ground like sad raindrops

He walked towards her slowly and pulled her into a hug feeling her sadness seep into his own body and all he could think of was the longing he'd been feeling to hold her to. To keep her safe. "Kikyo listen to me", he said holding her chin so she could look into his eyes, "when I look at you you're like a beautiful gem that I cant have. So far away yet almost in my grasp." She smiled a little through her tears making her look even more beautiful to him. "Inuyasha", she started before breaking down completely in his arms. "Inuyasha its so stressful. I hate being class president, hate always preparing for college while my friends go and have fun. All I want to do is be free, to be normal, to think about today instead of tomorrow. When I look at you its like looking at freedom. I haven't felt so…so completely safe and happy in such a long time. Being in your arms is like an escape from it all." She put her head on his shoulder.

Inuyasha was slightly shocked, never knowing she felt like this. She was like the perfect person in every way. Smart, pretty, creative, she had it all. He had never realized how much pressure it was for her.

He held her a little tighter. "Kikyo I promise to always protect you, to keep you safe forever, to hold you tight and comfort you when you need it."

She looked up at him, the sunset shining onto her face from the windowmaking it look abeautifulgolden color andhe kissed her. Kissed her slowly and passionately. He pulled out of the kiss and looked at her. "I wish that I could hold you forever."

Suddenly he looked up and saw Kagome standing next to the now open door. She looked so sad, so disappointed, betrayed even. "Kagome!" but it was to late as she ran out of the room, ran and ran passing strangers crying and crying.

Kagome looked up at the sky realizing it was already dark. She didn't know if it had been hours since she left the library or just minutes, but she did know that she was lost and that wasn't a good thing. She wiped the tears from her face and slowly started in the direction she had come from feeling foolish, when suddenly she heard a familiar voice say, "Well boys look at what I found. This must be my lucky day."

Kagome whipped around in fear to see Koga and his friends, Hakkaku and Genta standing right behind her. She tried to scream but nothing came out, and within a minute Hakkaku and Genta had her pinned down to the ground. Koga circled her like a hawk does its prey. Kagome tried to move, but Hakkaku and genta were to strong for her and she couldn't make a sound as their hands covered her mouth. Hot tears streaked down her face as Koga began to unzip his pants; a smirk on his face.

"You thought you could escape me didn't you Kagome? "By now you should know I always get what I want", he paused for a second and looked around. "Ah I see that little Inuyasha isn't around to protect you huh?" "Was he like everyone else Kagome, just stopped caring about you?" he smiled down on her as she tried not to look in his eyes fearing he'd see the pain that last sentence had caused her. "Thought so", he smiled again.

He stepped over Kagome and leaned down unzipping her baggy pants and moving them down her legs slowly, revealing her lacy pink underwear. He pulled off her shirt and licked her nipples causing her to cringe. He found his way up to her face and licked her lips and bit down on them causing them to bleed as he forced his way into her mouth playing with her tongue. Kagome closed her eyes waiting for it to end. Koga's friends had by now let go of her not needing to hold down the broken girl. Koga moved back down to her lacy underwear and pulled them down then pulled open his own pants and pushed in hard causing her to moan in pain. He smiled at her moan and did it again and again causing her to bleed. She now sobbed alone on the ground as Koga got up and zipped up his pants again looking down on the naked girl.

"That will teach you to leave me Kagome. If not my friend then you're my enemy and you've been punished for it now." He and his friends walked away snickering.

Kagome lay on the dirty alley floor for an hour curled up into a little ball to weak to move. All she could do was cry. She stared up at the moon, which shone brightly on her. It was the only thing she new thatwould never hurt her. It would never betray her like everyone she new had. She was so weak…so, so weak.

Inuyasha had watched Kagome run out of the library after seeing him hold kikyo…after she saw him kiss her…saw him make his promises to her. He had wondered what she was thinking as she ran away. He had thought of going after her but he had made his choice, and his choice was Kikyo. So he didn't move, didn't chase after the girl who he had mixed feelings for…just held Kikyo close to him and kept his promise to protect her.

He had stood there for an hour just holding her and thinking before the sun had began to set. Then he and her said their good-byes and he kissed her promising to see her tomorrow after school and just talk. He walked home and went up to his room walking right past Miroku and went to sleep oblivious to what Kagome was going through at that very moment.

Kagome had fallen asleep in the alley. It was probably midnight and she didn't know if she was strong enough to move from where she was. She crawled over to where Koga had thrown her clothes and tried to put them on. She was failing miserably and she new no one was coming to save her. She needed to get out of there and she was so cold.

It began to rain, first just a drizzle then changing into a heavy down pour. She lay in the rain with nothing on letting it wash the filth, and dried blood off her body. In the rain you couldn't see the tears coming down her face. She tried to stand up but fell and a deepcut appeared right above her right eye. She didn't try to stop the blood from dripping down into her eye. She just lay there eyes wide open feeling dead.

It was morning and she felt she might at least be able to pull her clothes on. She hurt so bad, it was worse then any beatings she'd gotten from Naraku. She managed to pull back on her underwear and her t-shirt. She left everything else in the alley as she slowly walked back the way she had come the night before, stumbling and falling. She walked by strangers who asked her if she was ok but she ignored them. Her eyes looked dead, not even sad just unfeeling. She finally found her street and walked up to the door falling on her way in. she felt as if at any moment she would wake up from yet another nightmare…but she didn't.

She stumbled into the house still in her dazed state when she heard his footsteps coming down the stairs in front of her. she just stood there uncaring, knowing what was going to happen. She felt as if she was having an out of body experience even though she felt the very much real pain.

He screamed at her as pulled her by her hair up the stairs. She was unmoving, didn't try to stop him, dead inside. He slammed her onto the ground hard and watched as she slid down on the dusty wooden floors hitting the wall painfully. He punched her arms over and over again until they turned purple. He then picked up a piece of glass that had shattered from another night when he had been drinking with friends and began to cut her stomach up. He grew bored and left her there and walked out the door downstairs slamming it behind him.

Kagome didn't move. She sat there wishing she was dead, wishing Naraku had killed her.
