Chapter 4: Kagome, who are you?
After saying goodbye to Inuyasha, Kagome had gone strait to bed. She didn't have dinner, even though Sota had come and tried to give her food. What happened in the ally kept playing over in her mind. Kikiyo had only thrown one punch, but she hit the ground like a stone. Why? She remembered her old days at the other school. Violence was at a high point in her junior year. It was either fight or get out of the way. But sometimes you just couldn't get away fast enough. A sharp knock came, breaking her thoughts. She soon realized she was still laying on the bed, but it had faded into to Dark. She couldn't see anything but she didn't mind. The darkness was a form of comfort. "Kagome, you open this door right now! Sota tells me your hurt!" She heard her mother yell from behind the door. Great mom is back from her great and wonderful job. Kagome thought with sarcasm. "Like you ever cared!" She yelled at her. "What happened back then was an accident! I was trying to feed you guys!" Her mother yelled. "I don't need to hear anymore of your excuses! What you did was horrible and..." But Kagome let her sentence trail off. The memories came back hard. She shock her head and glared at the door. How dare she make her relive those awful times! "Please Kagome...I just want...to..." But the young woman's tears stopped her from finishing. Kagome only rolled her eyes at the door. As far as she was concerned, she lost her mother three years ago.
Inuyasha now sat on his bed at his house. He could hear his mother singing in the kitchen while she made dinner. He had heard it since he was little. But only her voice had ever filled the house. A father figure had never been in his life, and Sesshomaru had lived with his mom across town. His thoughts stretched out to Kagome. What was Kagome's story? She didn't seem to have a hard background, but neither did Sango when he first met her. They had met in Middle school, about five years back. She had been the new student, and not many wanted anything to do with her. Except Miroku. Miroku had been trying to get with any woman he could for years. Sango was just another unsuspecting victim. Inuyasha was ready to see another girl run away crying, He had seen it many times during their friendship, But Sango had slapped him across the face. Inuyasha couldn't stop himself from laughing at his fallen friend. But as the three became friends, he learned of Sango's dark past. She lived with a foster family at the time and they where loving to her. But she was scared with the memories of what had happened to them. The memories of seeing her family be slaughtered by a robber in their sleep. The sight of watching Kohaku, her little brother, get a bullet through the chest. "Inuyasha, Dinner!" He heard his mother call. Inuyasha slowly rolled of the bed and headed downstairs to eat, with the memories still in his mind.
Kagome had been the first person in class the next day. She had quickly rushed to her seat in the back and looked down. The mack-up had not covered the purple around her eye that she had hoped it would. She had managed to sneak past her friends and her mother. She didn't want anyone crying over her. But she also didn't want to see Kikiyo and her get the satisfaction from her injury. Hearing Sango's laughter outside in the hall, Kagome pulled out some sunglasses and put them on. "Kagome?" Sango asked with a confused smile. "Hi Sango!" She greeted with a warm smile. "Would there be a reason that your wearing sunglasses in class?" Miroku asked, grabbing his seat. "Yeah...um...the sunlight is...bouncing of the tops of the desks...it gets on my nerves." She lied with a huge smile. Sango grabbed her seat and stared at her friend. "Why are you lying to us?" she asked. "I'm not! Its true, it gets in my eyes and I can't see!" Kagome said, looking for a change of subject. "Yes you are! Your nose flares when you lie!" Sango said, pointing at her nose. Kagome covered her nose and turned bright red. "I'm not lying!" she said in a last hope. Inuyasha then walked into the room and sat down in his seat. He stared at Kagome for a second, then shrugged his shoulders. "Do you know why Kagome is wearing sunglasses?" Miroku asked. Inuyasha glanced at Kagome, trying to look into her eyes but the glasses covered them. "She is weird" He suggested in a dull tone. Then Inuyasha heard a sigh from Kagome only his dog-ears could hear. Sango shrugged her shoulders and sat back in her chair. Miroku leaned forward with a smile, but Kagome looked back at him. He couldn't see the death glare behind the glasses, so he got a huge slap across the face and found himself on the floor. "You're the one who chose that seat this year. It is like the last seat any girl would ever take." Sango said with a laugh.
When Kikiyo walked in, Kagome found herself short of breath. She didn't want her friends to know what had happened. But Kikiyo did not grab the seat in front of Inuyasha. She sat in the front of the room and stared at the blank board. Everyone stared at Inuyasha looking for an answer. With his eyes closed he said "Kagome, do you want the seat in front of me to get away from Miroku's wandering hand?""sure." She said, getting up. She then watch Kikiyo watch her take the seat in front of Inuyasha.
The group had gathered outside of the school, ready to got to the movies. "Kagome, please tell me why you are wearing the sunglasses." Sango begged. "Its nothing." Kagome told her. "You want to know why she is wearing sunglasses?" a voice asked. Kagome knew who it was by the sound of her voice. Sango and Miroku turned to see Kikiyo standing with a smile. Kikiyo then walked up behind Kagome and hit her the back of the head, knocking off her sunglasses. Inuyasha jumped in front of Kikiyo and let out a low growl. Kikiyo then stuck up her nose and walked off, satisfied with herself. Sango and Miroku looked at hteir friend, now seeing her black eye. "Did Kikiyo do that to you?" Miroku asked with concern. Kagome silently grabbed her glasses and put them back onto her face. "I'm going to kick her ass!" Sango yelled in a rage. Kagome turned to her friend and yelled, "God damn it Sango, I don't need your protection! I can handle myself!""Not by the looks of your eye!" Sango shot at her. "I'm not going to hurt anymore people! That girl was just there! She didn't know!" Kagome shot back, tears welling up in her eyes. Sango only stared at her friend. "What girl?" Miroku asked. Kagome looked at her friends and realized she had said too much. They wouldn't be her friends if they knew her past. She quickly ran from her concerned friends to the safty of her home. They can not know! They will not ever know! Kagome said, running into her house.
