Chapter 2
Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha : (
………………………………………………………………….
Kagome woke up the next morning to find bruises on her stomach and her arm where her father had grabbed her. Her leg still hurt a little, but not as much.
Kagome slipped on a pair of low-rise jeans and a long sleeved black shirt even though it wasn't even that cold outside.
I'm lucky he didn't hit me in the face…how would I have explained that…?
After dropping off Souta and promising him she'll be there right after school, Kagome arrived at her second day of school.
She found Inuyasha, Sango, Miroku, and some girl sitting next to Inuyasha. She saw her laughing and trying to talk to him, but he seemed kind of annoyed.
She walked up to them and immediately Inuyasha's face lit up. The girl looked up at her and gave her a fake smile.
"Hey Kagome" Sango said, "Why are you wearing long sleeves?" Kagome tried to think of an excuse.
"Umm, everything else was in the wash…" Kagome replied, sitting down next to Inuyasha. The girl glared at her, but Kagome didn't really notice. Inuyasha looked at Kagome suspiciously.
Ugh I hate making excuses…
"Anyway Inuyasha, I really don't get the science homework and I was wondering if you could help me with it today after school" Kagome heard the girl say. She watched her and Inuyasha and started to get angry.
Wait, why am I getting mad again? I mean he's not even my boyfriend…
Inuyasha told her that he had something to do and turned to Kagome.
"So why'd you leave so suddenly yesterday. You looked scared as hell." He asked.
"Oh umm, I forgot that my little brother was home by himself and I was uhh, worried?" she said. Just then the bell rang.
Saved by the bell…
…………………………………………………………….
There was a sub in math so the class just laid back and talked. When Kagome reached her locker, the girl who was with Inuyasha earlier approached her.
"Hey bitch, stay away from Inuyasha because he is all mine and I'd be sure to make your life a living hell" she said and walked off with her friends.
The girl was wearing a mini, small tee, and large hoop earrings. She looked like a total slut. I don't think I have to worry about her. Inuyasha would so not date a girl like that…wait what am I saying, I don't even know him…
Sango suddenly popped out of know where which caused Kagome to let out a little yelp.
"You just pop out of nowhere and its kind of scary you know" Kagome said, starting toward the cafeteria. Sango laughed.
"Why was Kikyou talking to you before?"she asked. Kagome told her about the threat.
"Inuyasha does seem to like you…" Sango watched Kagome blush, "But Kikyou's nothing to really worry about.Do you like him?"
Kagome shrugged, but her heart screamed YESS. It just didn't seem like a big deal to tell about a crush that's going to last about a week.

After school, Kagome told her friends that she had stuff to do around the house so she couldn't hang out with them. She didn't want to leave Souta again. Inuyasha said he would walk her home.
"So0o0o why'd you move here?" Inuyasha asked Kagome, trying to strike up a conversation. The silence between them was making him feel uncomfortable.
"I don't know, my dad just came home one day and said we were moving. No reason really." Kagome replied, getting a little angry at her father.
Suddenly a person walking the opposite direction of Kagome accidentally jabbed in the stomach.
Because of her bruise, Kagome immediately fell back. She closed her eyes, waiting to hit the concrete. Instead she felt a pair of strong arms grab her securely around her waist.
"Thank you" Kagome breathed, looking into eyes. He stared straight into hers. "No prob, but what happened to your stomach?" he asked. He had seen the bruise while she was falling back and it looked horrible.
Kagome snapped back to reality. "Umm, I-I hit it on uhh….I needa go now…" She ran through the crowd of people and 2 blocks to her house. She noticed Inuyasha was not going after her and she breathed a sigh of relief.
Why does this have to happen to me? Why can't I just be a normal girl, who goes to school, and hangs out with her freinds?
When she got insde she checked on Souta and walked to her room. She threw herself on her bed and started to cry.
………………………………………………………………………….
Inuyasha just stood there and watched Kagome run through the crowd. He knew something was wrong with her. When he had asked her, she wouldn't look at him and he could tell she was searching for an excuse.
She did that at the tree too. It was obvious she was lying.
Inuyasha walked back toward the pizza shop to find Sango and Miroku. When he got there he found Sango chasing after Miroku. Inuyasha couldn't figure out whether Miroku was running after the pretty girl in front of him or running from the very angry looking Sango behind him.
He decided to go back to Kagome's house and see what she was up to. Maybe he would spy on her to see what was really going on.
I have a feeling, things aren't going so well for her. She always seems to have some secret.
When he got to her house he decided not to go to her house. Instead he walked around her block, waiting for something to happen.
If I went to her house, she'd just make upa whole bunch of lies again.

Kagome heard the door slam. Dad's home… Kagome thought, and sighed. She really did not want to deal with him today.
She wished Mom was alive. Why did you leave me?
Kagome remembered the day her mother died. Souta was very little then, a baby. Kagome had come home from school and greeted her mother like any other day. The thunder and heavy rain was almost foreshadowing her mother's death.
Kagome had gone downstairs for a glass of water that night to find her mother lying on the kitchen floor. In her hand was a knife.
Kagome was too shocked to scream, or even cry. She had to get out, away. Her mother could not have committed suicide, that was impossible. Her mother?
She turned and ran for her bedroom thinking that maybe it was just a dream. She would wake up the next morning and find her mother cooking breakfast. But she stopped in the living room where her father was.
He had his back to Kagome. Kagome was going to say something but his voice stopped her.
"This is all your fault…" Kagome fled up the stairs
Kagome went downstairs to greet him kindly. Maybe that will get him away from her for tonight. Instead he slapped her in the face. he was wildly drunk and Kagome realized she made a mistake.
He yelled something but his slurs made it hard to understand. Kagome screamed and he threw her at the glass table.
She crashed and the glass broke. There were bits and pieces all over her. Kagome made a run for it. She knew he was going after her.
Kagome panicked and locked her bedroom door.
What am I going to do? He's gunna kill me!
She opened her window and quickly climbed outside, into the backyard. It was her only way out of it. If she stayed, he might even kill her.
Outside was thundering and pouring, much like the day of her mother's death. Fresh tears streamed out of Kagome's eyes and she rantowards the street.
I can't…see…anything… Kagome thought.
Then she bumped into someone.
She looked up into a pair of amber eyes.
Inuyasha…
That's when Kagome broke down.
