Giving up, Or Moving On?
Ch 3 research
She knew what to do. Now she just had to figure out how to do it.
Kagome jumped out of bed and ran over to her closet. 'Where is it? Where is it?' she thought while searching frantically through her closet. After searching for a minute she found what she had been looking for. She pulled a shoebox out of the closet and took it over to her bed. There was lots of stuff in there, mostly her mom's old stuff.
She slowly pulled out an envelope with a letter still in it. She had read it so many times before now so it was really worn. 'Please let it still be readable. Please please please.' She flipped over the envelope to look at the return address. 'YES, Inuyasha sent me this letter but I told him I couldn't write back. But his address is on here. I can go to his house. I can finally get away from here.'
She listened and could hear that her dad had come home and was already asleep. She got out of her bed and creped downstairs to the computer. She put in the search box 'bus schedule' 'How much would a bus ticket be to Cincinnati from Chicago?' she wondered to herself. She found a site for greyhound and put in the departing and arrival cities.
She scrolled down praying that it wasn't going to be a lot of money. She saw that it was $57.00. 'Well that's not to bad,' she thought to herself. I have to get the money somehow. But how will I know that it will be ok with Inuyasha?'
She signed off and went back upstairs to think about it. 'I can go over to the pier and work for the money. They always have all kinds of jobs people can do.' Finally making up her mind she got in bed and pulled the covers up to her chin. 'I am going have to do it after my dad leaves tomorrow. But be back before I have to talk to Inuyasha.' Soon after she fell into an uneasy sleep.
The next morning when she woke up her dad had already left for work. 'Thank god, now I don't have to deal with him.' She got up and went to take a quick shower. 15 minutes later she was dressed in a pair of jeans and a red tank top. She ran outside and went over to the pier to start her work for the day.
She saw a woman with 3 children on a boat. The woman was trying to clean the boat but just couldn't get any work done with the children running around. Kagome walked over to the dock and onto the boat. One of the children saw her coming on and ran to tell her mom. The lady came over to Kagome and asked if she could help her with anything. "Well honestly ma'am I need money and I just happened to notice that you were having trouble washing the boat so I was wondering if I could help out." The lady looked at Kagome for a minute, which made her very nervous. "o.k. I suppose you could help me. I will watch the kids and you just scrub as much of this boat as you possibly can before I have to leave." Kagome smiled at her and set off to work.
A few hours later the lady announced that she had to go and that Kagome was done. While the lady was walking away she handed Kagome an envelope and told her to wait till she got home to open it.
Kagome got home a few minutes later and ran up to her room so her dad wouldn't see her with the envelope when he got home. She sat on her bed and opened the envelope. There was a note in there with the money. (A.N. whoa the smoke alarm just went off I have to go check it out....(10 minutes later) ok all is good my mom was just trying to cook)
There was a note in there with the money.
I hope you have enough to do whatever you needed this money fore. You are a very hard worker so feel free to come back if you need more. Good luck-
Kagome looked surprised and saw what was in the envelope. There was $75.00 in the envelope. She felt happy that she would have enough to get away but still felt bad for taking that much money from the nice lady. She heard her dad come home and quickly hid the money.
Later when her dad went to bed she was able to go online. Inuyasha had been waiting for her to come on for a while.
Inuyasha: well where have you been?
Kagome: I had to wait till my dad went to bed I'm sorry
Inuyasha: It's ok. So what are we going to do about this abuse thing?
Kagome: Well you said that you would help me right.
Inuyasha: Yes in any way shape or form I can.
Kagome looked at the clock and noticed that she only had 20 minutes till she had to catch the bus.
Kagome: Well I need your help but I can't tell you cause I have to go but you will know soon I promise.
Inuyasha: ok I guess
Kagome: Bye
Kagome signed off and ran up to her room. She grabbed her sweatshirt and put it on. Then she grabbed her bag and threw some clothes in it along with the money. 10 minutes later she was at the train station in line to get the ticket.
When the train got there she felt a lot better. She was finally going to get away from her father. She was going to get a better life. With those thoughts she stepped onto the train and got ready for the 6-hour trip to Cincinnati.
Well all is done for now. I hope you liked the new chapter and I am sorry it took so long for me to update. I really am not good with the whole update regularly thing. O well I want to thank my reviewers' obsessiveIY- psycho-girl92 and tissextqueen04 for the reviews. I live for the reviews. O and Kagome's dad is just very....angry that is why he abuses Kagome. He blames her for her mother leaving.
One last thing, I have an account on deviant art for anyone who cares to check that out. It has my poetry as well as artwork such as drawings and other things like that. So go check out my site at http:rightkindofwrong.deviantart.com
