The one called Lucky
Chapter five: Laundry mat
I'm turned around only to be face to face with my reflection. Except it looks angry. And its left eye is twitching.
The reflection tightens her grip on my shoulder. "He's cheating on me." I hear her say. My instinct told me that I should run away. But I froze. The only movement I did was flair my nose. She took a step backwards. "You fucking bitch!" She shut her phone. Stared at me as if I was the one who killed her love one. I suddenly felt my face sting in pain as she slapped me across the face. She then grabbed a lock of her hair, pulling me up close to her face. "No one ever gets to see my Inu baby behind my back." She spat in my face. I can't take it anymore, with the palm of my hand I thrust it upward right underneath her nose. A sickening crack went through my ears. The woman let go of my hair and crumbled to her knees covering her nose. I could see blood dripping between her fingers. My stomach did a flip-flop, as she took her hands away I realised that I broke her nose, it was crocked. Blood was streaming down her white blouse. A puddle was forming beneath her. "I'm the wrong girl bitch, I just went to see Inuyasha's mother! I wasn't close to him all afternoon. Go find someone else to piss off!" The woman slowly got up. Her hair was covering her face. I small wicked grin came across her face.
"I know what you are now." She said as she slowly lifted her head. Her fingers walked across the desk. Her hand slowly lifting up a manga book, she examined it. I'm surprised that she forgot that I broke her nose. Pointing a finger at me she screamed. "You are just his little play mate! I hate you for that!" She threw the book at me. I shielded myself with my hands.
"That's one of the most stupid theories ever! Me and him! I would never you bitch!" I back away sacred that she will jump at me and try to shred me to pieces.
"Let's take this in the hallway. Street rules!" She said as she walked out of the room. I wasn't sure if she was being serious. I look out the door way only to see the woman in a boxing position. "You want a piece of me!" She screamed. Inuyasha's mother looked the kitchen door. She gave me a questioning look.
The woman with the bleeding nose started to walk around me. Throwing her fist in the air randomly she started to scream insults at me. I just back away from the mad woman, scared she might scratch me with one of her manicured fingers. She launches her self at me, I just move out of the way. Crumbling to the ground the woman got up on her knees. I step forward, giving a hand out to her. She pushed me away, her hands dripping with blood. I look down at my shirt, to only see bloody hand prints spread across it. I give out insults underneath my breath.
"I'm, going to kill you!" She screams as she runs toward me. I scamper across the slippery floor into the living room. She follows me, right on my tracks. She picks some magazines off a coffee table, throwing them at me. I jump onto the purple couch. Inu's mum came in after. A broom is in her hands.
"Now Kikyo, please calm down. This is not you normal behaviour. Why are you so mad at Kagome?" She asked calmly. I'm more than confused now. Didn't Inuyasha and his mother talk about a girl called Kikyo while they during lunch.
The girl Kikyo started to scream at her why she thought I was evil and should be hung. I slowly walk around her back into the hallway. I don't want to stay around the crazy woman. I slip on my shoes with out even tying them up. I picked up my bag with the intention to leave. Stuffing the squeegees in it somehow, I then bag put it on my right shoulder. Inu's mother was on the verge of saying something when Kikyo interrupted her. "And that girl is just a bum living on the street. And look at her… she looks-" I grabbed her shirt collar pulling her out the door. "Will you stop bitching?" I turn back to Inu's mother. "I'm sorry about the mess." I drag the girl Kikyo down the hall. Looking on last time at the door, I see a very confused woman. I then remember about Inuyasha. Wouldn't he of heard all of the noise. I push that of my mind as the girl starts to yell at me again.
"I will so sue you for this, I mean it!" She screamed as she walked down the stairs.
"You came into the house with out permission so that's like breaking in, you were destroying households and tried to attack me." I say simply.
"You broke my nose!" She screamed at me, while she whipped some blood of her face.
"It's called self defence." I turn around the corner letting go of the girl. She walks in front of me.
"So you haven't done anything with my Inu baby?"
"No I haven't for the last time; I just met him like yesterday. How close are you to him?" I ask as I put my hand on the railing. She doesn't answer. I just shrug it off.
At the door she turned around looking directly in my eyes. "You know what; I bet you are on the street because you parents hate you. The only thing that likes you is misery!" She screamed at me for a last time. I push her out the door.
"Will you shut up for the last time?" I step out. It's cold, winter temperature.
"I will get you back for the broken nose and being close to MY Inu baby!" She screamed as she clutched her nose. "You are just a stupid little girl!"
"Go jump off a bridge!" I scream at her. She walks way from me, and sticks her tongue out in the process. All the things she said to me started to run through my mind.
I then remember I was supposed to meet Ayame and Sango at the laundry mat. I start to run right away down the sidewalk, pushing people out of my way. I can taste blood in my mouth. Touching my lip with my finger, I realise it's bleeding. I must of bit when the woman slapped me. Memorise start to flood back to me. Too many of them, they make my head spine. But theirs on that sticks out.
Flash backI bit down on my lip as he pushed me against the brick wall. One of his hands covered my mouth. He threatened me for a second time. "If you scream, I swear I will kill you." He said between his teeth. When he took his hand away, I screamed the loudest I could. He quickly covered my mouth again and kneed me in the stomach. I toppled over, but to only be pulled back up by my hair. I winced in pain. He pushed my head forward, his lips against mine. He slightly pulled away. "Kiss me back." He said as he pushed my head towards his. I did. He gave me a sly smile. I thought that I was going to throw up.
End of flash
My vision is blurred with the tears that are threatening to spill out. I continue to run no matter what. I start to remember when Sota was still alive. How my mother would hat it when I was in the same room. All those built up emotions that I kept inside for so many years finally came out. A tear rolled down my cheek, wiping it away with my free hand. Some thing suddenly grabs me by the shoulder. I'm turned around only to be face to face with Ayame. She looked directly in my eyes. I turn my stare away from hers.
"I'm on time I hope…" I say while looking at the ground.
"What's wrong with you Kagome?" Sango asked. I drop my head on Ayame's shoulder and started to weep. I chocked up a couple of sobs. "I'm useless to this world; I should be dead with my mother!" I scream.
Ayame pushes my head back up. "What's wrong with you Kagome?" She said she lifted her hand in the air.
"Please don't slap me, someone already did that today." I say as I let my head fall down. "And my bothers shirt is ruined!" I say as I take the creases away.
"Come on, we could wash you are shirt and you explain your emotional problem to us." Sango said as she pushed me in the laundry mat. The walls are covered with laundry machines, some seats are in the middle. A Soda machine is in the back with a detergent dispenser. I walk to the far end and sit down on the last seat. I put the bag on the floor.
"Take you shirt off Kagome." Sano says as she opens the bag. I look around to see that it's only us. I slowly take the shirt off and throw it at Sango. She throws it in one of the open laundry machines. She puts other clothing from the bag in it also. Ayame comes back with some detergent, taking her shirt off the throws it in also.
"I feel uncomfortable." I say as I cover my chest. Ayame sits down beside me and kicks her legs up onto a table.
"You shouldn't, just think of it as if you where wearing a bikini." Ayame says as she picks at a scab on her arm.
"I still feel uncomfortable." I say. "And Sango is wearing an undershirt. It's not fair."
Sango kneels in front of me and takes my hands. "Why are your hands covered in blood Kagome?" She asks.
I look away. "I went to Inuyasha's apartment to meet his mom. Then somehow this girl thought Inuyasha was cheating on her with me. She tried to attack me so I defended my self. I then came here… that's all."
"That's some bloody defending you did there." Ayame says as she examines my hands.
"I broke her nose…" I say as I close my eyes.
"That's kind of harsh… how does this girl look like?" Sango asked.
"I think her name is Kikyo." I say as I shift in my seat.
Sango quickly stood up and covered her mouth with her hand and went into a laughing fit. Ayame playfully punched me in the shoulder. All I do is star at them.
"Did you guys drink spiked Cool Aid or something? Why are you laughing?" I ask as I stand up.
Sango slowly starts top calm down. "Kikyo... is Inuyasha's ex, she's a total bitch. But no one has ever broken her nose before. We're just happy." Sango said as she started to go back into a laughing fit.
"Even if she's the one who broke up with him, she's still obsessed over Inuyasha. She's like crazy or something like that." Ayame said as she sat back down.
I sit beside Ayame, trying to figure this out. Ayame suddenly touched Sango stomach.
"You have one strange belly, the rest of your body is in shape but your stomach is like a balloon." Ayame pointed out.
"Yah, you haven't been eating the same amount of food usually eat." I add in. Sango sits in between of us.
"I was going to tell you tomorrow but I guess now is a good time to tell you…" Sango said with a pause at then end. The door of the laundry mat suddenly opened. Tree boys stepped in. One boy had a brown paper bag on his head. Inuyasha and Koga where holding him by the rams. They walked toward us. Sango quickly hugged her stomach. I crossed my arms over my chest and Ayame just stretched her arms over her head.
"Could I talk to Kagome?" Inuyasha asked. Ayame pointed to me. He let go of the guy and walked over to me, kneeling down in front of me.
"Kagome, are you ok? My mom just told me that Kikyo tried to hurt." He said as she looked up at my face.
"I think she was thinking of killing me, but yah, I'm ok." I keep my arms crossed over my chest.
"I'm really sorry."
Ayame joined in our conversation. "I think Kagome's fine, after she broke Kikyo's nose."
"You broke her nose! That's great!" He said as he stood up.
"Why is everyone happy I broke her nose?" I ask.
"Inuyasha's ex, she dumped him for this other dud. I think." Koga said as he sat down beside Ayame and slung his ram across her shoulder.
"Who broke Kikyo's nose?" The guy wit the paper bag on his asked.
I lean in forward. "Is that you Miroku?"
"Yah, that's him." Inuyasha said as he walked over to Miroku. Koga started to talk to Sango and Ayame and Inuyasha was helping Miroku walk around the laundry mat.
"Hasn't any fucking person realised that we are in pants and brass!" I scream annoyed. Everyone just stair s at me, except Miroku, he just walks into a wall.
Koga gives Ayame a peck on the cheek the gets up and walks toward Miroku. Both boys drag Miroku out of the door. Inuyasha salutes us before leaving. I lean back in my seat.
The room is completely silent, except for the laundry machine. Ayame breaks the long silence. What where you going to tell us Sango? You know, right before the boys came in." She asked as she picked at her nails.
Sango looked up at the ceiling. Nothing came out of her mouth. After a long silence she spoke up.
"I'm pregnant."
I'm sorry that it took me long time to review, I just a lot of test this week in school. I don't really like this chapter, I think I did a bad job. But I tried.
