Chapter 3: Mom and Dad

"Finally the day is over," Kagome said holding her hands above her head. Inuyasha just looked at her and sighed shaking his head. He told Kagome that he had to go and then left.

Just once I wish he would let me touch those ears. They are so cute and fuzzy! Kagome thought. She continued walking home with a smile on her face.

"Hey, Kagome," a voice called. Kagome winced and then turned around. Her bruises from last night still hurt and her cuts had barely healed, and yet this guy was coming back to beat her up again.

"What do you want Naraku?" Kagome asked with fear in her eyes. She was hoping that he would not try and hurt her again.

"How did you like my present last night Kagome?" Naraku said with a smirk. Kagome started to back up when Naraku grabbed her arm.

"Not so fast Kagome. I didn't get to finish before the cars came last night. Lets go somewhere alone why don't we?" he said dragging her into the park. When they got there he started to hit her. She screamed and then quieted knowing that if she struggled or tried to run away he would only hit her harder.

Three Hours Later

Kagome was walking home, whimpering with every step because her bruises hurt a lot more now. She knew that this had to stop, but she didn't know who to tell. Naraku knew some secrets about her that she never wanted anyone to find out. She was afraid that if Sango and Miroku were told they wouldn't like her anymore, and none of the teachers would believe her about Naraku.

They would never believe that a top student like Naraku would ever bully another student. A lot of the girls at the school would never believe it either. His long black hair and red eyes captivated too many hearts, not all of them students.

"If only I could tell Inuyasha," Kagome said with a sigh. She knew that he would know what to do, but she thought that if he knew her secret, he would never like her again.

Kagome reached her house and then realized that both parents were home, for once. She looked at herself and then groaned. She looked horrible, and her parents would yell at her for it. She quietly opened the door only to see Souta's scared face.

"What's wrong Souta?" Kagome asked kneeling down.

"Mom and dad are home," he said matter-of-factly.

"I know, but why are you so scared?"

"They were yelling at each other again," he answered starting to cry.

"It's ok Souta. Come with me," she said holding out her hand. Souta took it and she snuck into her room and closed the door.

"Let me change and then we can talk ok?" Kagome asked.

Souta just nodded his head and lay down on her bed. When she came back he was asleep. She walked out of the room and into the living room, knowing that was where her parents would be. The minute she walked into the room her parents stopped arguing and looked at her.

"What do you want Kagome?" her mother asked in a mean way.

"I was just wondering if you could keep it down, Souta is sleeping," Kagome said in a calm voice.

"Why should we listen to you?" her father asked her.

"Well he is your son you know. I was just thinking you would like him to get a good nights sleep, that is all."

"DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO," her father yelled turning red.

"GO TO YOUR ROOM Kagome," her mother screamed at her.

Kagome walked into her room and shut the door. She slid to the floor and started to cry, knowing that Souta was sound asleep. She cried until no more tears would come and then fell asleep with her back to the door.

It was really dark and Kagome was walking towards a small light. The more she walked the further the light seemed to be. Just as she was about to give up in desperation she heard Naraku's voice.

"It's all your fault Kagome. You should never have trusted me. No matter how hard you try you will never reach that light. You will always live in search of it," he said laughing evilly. "Remember Kagome, you did it. No one can help you now."

Kagome woke with a start. She realized it was Saturday morning, and there was no school. She stretched and looked on her bed. Souta was still asleep and she smiled. Kagome went downstairs and noticed her parents were gone.

"I wonder when they left?" she thought out loud. "Oh well, at least its quiet again." She started to make some pancakes for Souta when he woke up.

When she was finished she went back into her room and woke up Souta, telling him that there were pancakes on the table. Kagome went to take a shower and she thought about what she was going to do today. By the time she was done she had decided on calling Sango.

"Hey Sango...I'm fine...yea...hey, wutcha doin today?...wanna hang out?...k call the guys...I gotta take Souta to a friend's and then I'll meet you...at the mall?...ok...see you then...bye"

Kagome hung up and then took Souta to his friend's house. She then walked to the mall, which was close by. She stood in their normal waiting place until she saw Inuyasha coming. Her face lit up and she waved. He just nodded his head in her direction.

Just then a girl dressed in sluttish clothes ran into Inuyasha. She apologized to him, but Kagome knew that it was done on purpose.

"Damn that Kikyo, why can't she just pick a guy and stick with him?" Kagome muttered to herself. Just then Inuyasha and the rest of the gang arrived. They spent the day at the mall, with each girl buying about three bags of clothes, when they decided it was time to go home.

Sango and Miroku went one way and Kagome and Inuyasha went another. Inuyasha dropped Kagome off at her house and then went home. Kagome went up to her room, dropped her stuff on the floor and lay on her bed. Just as she was dropping off to sleep she thought she heard the window open.

The Next Day

"Guys, where's Kagome?" Inuyasha asked Sango and Miroku.

"I don't know, she said she was coming," Sango said sounding worried.

The group decided to walk to her house and see what was up. When they arrived they found a note on her bed.

"Ugh, it smells like Naraku," Inuyasha muttered.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Miroku asked sounding very confused.

"Well, I'm a hanyou, or half demon. So my smell and hearing are better, that and I can run faster than you," Inuyasha answered.

Hello dear friends of Kagome,

I have her, you will never find her, and soon I will make her forget all of you. I need her soul, and something she possesses, although I am not sure what yet. But believe me, if you come after her, you will never see her again.
