Tithe

By Holly Black

---Prologue---

And pleasant is the fairie land

But an eerie tale to tell,

Ay at the end of seven years

We pay a tithe to Hell;

I am sae fair and fu o flesh,

I'm feard it be mysel."

-"Young Tam Lin"

Kagome took another drag from her cigarette and dropped it into her mothers beer bottle.She wondered if she would actually drink it?Seeing how drunk she was just maybe.They were still on stage Ellen (Kagome's mom) and Lloyd and the rest of Stepping Razor.It had been a bad day and watching them break all of the equipment was pretty funny.Everyone there was drunk.Most of them smoking and shouting.The manager most likely didn't care.Some had even danced.

The bartender leered at her again and offered a drink "on the house.""Milk," Kagome smirked ,brushing back her long,raven hair and pocketing a couple of matchbooks when his back was turned.Then her mother was next to her.Grabbing the beer and taking a drink out of it before spitting it out over the counter.

Kagome couldn't help the laughter that escaped her lips.Her mother looked at her in disbelief."Go load upthe car,"Voice hoarse from singing.She looked at her mothers face and noted she looked wasted and old.Kagome slid off the counter and leapt up onto the stage in one easy move.Lloyd glared at her as she only picked up her mothers equipment.His eyes were glazed."Hey,got any money on you?"

Kagome shrugged and handed him a ten-doller bill.She had more,but it's not like she was gonna give it all to him.He took the money and ambled off to the bar,probably to get some beer.Kagome hauled everything outside to the car.The cool autumn air outside was a welcome relief.She loaded everything in the car.After it was all in she went back inside,intent on getting her mother in the car before someone smashed the window and stole the equipment.You couldn't leave anything in a car in Philly.Ellen was still at the bar,smoking acigarette and drinking something stronger than beer.Lloyd was talking to a guy with long dark hair.

He looked out of place in the bar to well dressed.Lloyd had an arm slung over the mans shoulder.She caught a flash of the man's eyes.Cat-yellow,reflecting the dark bar,Kagome shivered.But then Kagome saw odd things sometimes,she learned to ignore them.

"Cars loaded,"Kagome told her mother.Ellen nodded,barely listening."Can I have a cigarette,honey?"Kagome searched in her jacket.She took two out,handing one two her mother while lighting the other.Her mother bent close,the smell of whiskey and beer and sweat as familiar as any perfume to Kagome.

"Cigarette kiss,"her mother said in that goofy sweet tone touching the tips together."Ready to go home?"Lloyd asked,scaring Kagome.She knew he was there it was his voice.It was a shade off sleazy.Not that normal asshole Lloyd.Ellen was to drunk to even notice.She swalloed what was left of her drink."Sure."

While we were walking out Lloyd moved his arm as if he were to punch Ellen.Kagome reacted without thinking shoving him.It was his drunkenness that made her slight weight enough to push him off balance.She saw the knife as it clattered to the floor.Lloyds eyes were wide and dilated.Frank,stepping razors drummer,grabbed Lloyd's arm.Lloyd only got one punch on Frank before other patrons tackled him and somebody called the police.

When the cops arrived,Lloyd couldn't remember anything.He was mad as hell,though,cursing Ellen at the top of his lungs.The police drove Kagome and Ellen to Lloyds apartment and waited for Kagome to pack their clothes.

Ellen was at the phone trying to find a place to stay."Sweatheart,"Ellen said,"we're going to have to go to grandma's." "Did you call her?"Kagome asked,stuffing clothes in plastic bags.They hadn't visited grandma in six years since they left New Jersey.Ellen barely even spoke to her on holidays."Yeah I just woke her up,"her mother looked wasted."It'll just be a little while.You can visit that friend of yours.""Sango,"Kagome said.

She hoped that was who Ellen meant.She really wished her mother wasn't teasing her about that fairie bullshit again.She was getting really tired of hearing about these little fairie-imaginary friends."The one you e-mail from the library.Get me another cigarette,okay,hon?"Ellen sat on the bed and stared at the wooden dresser.Kagome picked up a leather jacket of Lloyd's she'd always liked and lit a cigarette for her mother off the stove burner.No sense in wasting matches.

A/N:Hope you all like.The prologue is almost exactly like the book,but the next chapters will change.

Does anyone like the idea of Shippou and Rin as fairies?A little help who should be Kagomes

guy/gay friend ?Or should he be none gay?
