Inu

There was a loud crunch as he landed a strong punch to her rib cage.

She coughed a few curses up at her uncle as well as a mouthful of blood and be smirked, "You know, Inu, you're too fat anyways, you should be thanking me."

She stayed silent except to spit to one side and turn her hate filled stormy eyes back to him.

"You heard me. Thank me now you filthy overweight poorly bred dog!"

"Thank you Uncle. Thank you Cousin." She spoke turning her gaze down to her feet. Her stomach growling as her cousin put out a hand.

She took it, but halfway up he let go and once more she hit the linoleum floor.

"You can get yourself up."

She pulled herself up and looked at them with that hate, that angry fire filling her eyes and making the steel gray color in her eyes look like daggers.

"Come on slut we're gonna go on a bike ride." Her cousin yelled, halfway out the door, and she foollowed obediantly as her dog-tags clinked under her ungly, stained, ripped, patched, frayed, hand me down, red sweat shirt.

She got on her bike and couldn't help but wonder where they were going today. But then again, she really didn't care either. She rode her bike hhard to keep up just a few lengths behind her cousin as they passed a blue hoouse. She remembered that house very well, because her only friend had lived in that house.

"Come on Inu! Can't you go any faster! Or are those ungly legs of your's too fat to pedal with!"

She pedaled harder even as he saidit and soon they turned onto a forest rode.

She rampeed over a log or two and couldn't help but feel a little tired, even as they reached an old abandon building and went through, her cousin and her Uncle making cracks about their girlfriends as they reached the outside.

It was green, and Inu slowed slightly to look at it. It was pretty...she rarely ever saw pretty things. The ring her mother had had was pretty. but her uncle sold it...

The dog she'd had had been pretty, but Cousin had shot him.

She had once thought she was pretty, but now she knew she wasn't.

"Hey! Come ON!" Cousin shouted ands he sped up, jumping her bike over an empty river and dropping it by her uncle's as she started up the hill after them.

Her old black converse slid on he wet earth as she followed theem obedialyy, but she was amazed when she saw the abandon theme park that lay out before them.

"We found this place awhile ago, but we thought it'd be funner at night. we can set that building on fire and make this whole place go up like a match." her uncle said before the smell of food reached their noses.

Driven by hunger, Inu was already half way down teh hill before eth others realized what the smell was.

When she reached it she felt drool slide over teh side of her mouth and she wiped it away with her sleeve as she moved to grab something, but her Cousin and Uncle pushed her out of the way and sat down.

She tried to shove in but her Uncle turned, punched her across her face and said, "Go look around! Your too fat anyway ya' glutton!"

Her face was red, and she could almost feel her eye turning purple as she stood and ran from them.

Miyu R. Kamasaki

But for almost three years she'd been Inu, just Inu.

But even as she kicked a pebble across a red bridge before her she felt the hunger overwhelming her again.

Inu means dog.

There are two ways to tame dogs.

One is to slowly feed them, show them love, and give them a home.

The other is to beat them, and starve them until they don't fight back, and then shove them out in the rain so them beg to be let back in.

Apparently, the second way worked just fine on Inu.

She climbed up over the rail on the bridge and looked down between her shoes at her reflection.

She was pale, and abnormally thin from being starved.

"No," She spoke in a strong, angry voice while making a fist. "I'm too fat."

But dispite the fragile apearance that made her seem as if crafted of porcelien and glass, the spiked braclets on her arms and the dog collar on her neck showed just how rugged and mean she was.

Her pants were too big, and held up by a length of fabric, and her hair was hacked to shoulder length. but even as she stared down the angry, hatefillled, hurt-filled girl in the water, she couldn't help but wish she wasn't the girl that was staring back.

Haku's sandled feet were silentt as he walked from the flower garden. Still the remains of his thoughts of his old name and Chihiro's pating plaguing him evven after the six years she'd been gone.

He looked up, brushing the thoughts from his mind as his cold dragon's gaze watched the lamps begin to apear. He'd need to go back and see if Yubaba needed to send another message to Zeniba.

But then the scent wafted to him on the breeze and his sharp eyes found the source sitting on the bridge.

A human, just sitting on the rail as if trapped by the gaze of her own reflection.

"You! What are you doing here!" He yelled as he darted toward her.

She looked up as if suprised but was unable to speak as he grabbed her arm and pulled her toward the river.

"Hurry! You have to get across before-" He was cut off as a hunger-weakened fist smacked into her shoulder and she ran as fast as she could away from him...

But she wasn't running towards the river...

She was running towards Yubaba's bath house.

REVIEW! PLEASE!
