AN: okay hey everyone, I was just sitting here bored as heck and I was like 'Golly I'm bored.' So then I started to type the next chapter so here it is.

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha Rumiko Takahashi does.

Last time:

And that is where Kagome is still, sitting in the shrine, with silent tears falling from her eyes listening to the rain mumbling " Why? Why do you always take his side?" over and over again. After awhile she fell asleep in the dead of the night still listening to the ever pounding, calm beat of the rain.

Tainted Child:

Chapter 2: meet Haku Tohoe.

This time:

The next day Kagome woke up before the sun. When she checked her watch it was only 5:30 am so she went back to the house to sleep for another hour.

Later:

At 6:30 am Kagome's alarm went off. She turned over and flicked the switch and the sound stopped instantly. She sat up and stretched until she heard a few pops from her back then got up and picked out her clothes for the day and went to take a short shower. Ten minutes later she walked out with black jeans a dark blue form fitting t-shirt with a black crochet top that stopped under her breasts and black converse. Next she went over to her vanity and put on some black eyeliner some clear lip-gloss and her hair was kept down.

After that she went downstairs to get breakfast. When she got to the kitchen she saw her mother cooking breakfast. And her brother, and her mom's boyfriend, Haku Tohoe the business man her mom met that was a total prick, sitting at the table. Kagome walked in and sat next to Souta.

"Hey sis where were you last night?" Souta asked as he started to eat his eggs.

"Yes dear where were you? Mrs. Higurashi asked.

"Were you out all night" Haku asked just to be heard.

"No I came in at like 12:00 last night. I went to Sango's for awhile to get help with homework. Is that okay?" Kagome lied.

"Yes its fine but you should have told me that you were leaving, I could have given you a ride." Her mother said again. 'yeah I bet you would have' Kagome thought, then everyone went back to eating. At 7:30 Mrs. H went to go give Souta and Kagome a ride to school. Then Haku got up and said,

"No Keiko ,(AN: thats the moms name) let me give the children a ride, I have to go to work anyway." Then he got up without waiting for a response and walked out the door. The kids looked at their mom and she nodded so they walked out the door.

In the car Souta sat in the front and Kagome in the back. As they were in the car Haku started talking to Kagome.

" So, Kagome how are you?" he had asked. Kagome looked at him but didn't respond. Sure Haku was a nice guy, but only when he wanted to be.

"Sorry Haku, but I think my sisters tired." Souta replied for her.

"So Kagome how's school going?" Haku tried to start a conversation again.

"Haku, please stop talking to me." Kagome said not in the best mood to talk to anyone.

" God, you really are an ignorant little bitch aren't you?" Haku snapped.

"Haku just shut-up." Kagome said as she turned away from him to the window.

"Wow, I love talking to kids and then being told to shut-up by them. I don't even know why I do things for you when you're always a little smartass to me all the time." Haku yelled

"What your mother needs to do is ground you for awhile. Then maybe you''ll stop acting like you do." Haku continued.

"Oh wait it wouldn't matter anyway because YOU NEVER GO ANYWHERE!" Haku yelled.

'Yeah I don't to Sango's Miroku'sand Inuyasha's house all the time, now do I?' Kagome thought. She wanted to say it out loud but didn't want to make Haku anymore angry, so she just stopped talking the rest of the ride. All the way to the school Haku talked to himself mumbling profanities about Kagome, and Souta and Kagome blocked him out. (AN: sorry for not saying it earlier but Kagome is 15 and in 10th grade while Souta is 10 and in 6th grade)

when they pulled up to the school Kagome and Souta murmured a 'bye' then got out. And went their separate ways.

Kagome spotted Sango, Miroku, and Inuyasha over by their tree and waltzed over to the group.

"Hey guys." Kagome said in a small voice, so small only Inuyasha heard it. He turned around to see her almost in tears.

"Hey Kagome what's wrong?" Inuyasha asked her. At the mention of their friends name the other two looked in the general direction that Inuyasha was and saw Kagome burst into tears.

" I-I'll t-tell you later, b-but n-not right now o-ok-kay?" Kagome stuttered out. When she saw Inuyasha nod she walked away Sango following her.

"Wow, I wonder what shook her up?" Miroku asked, but never got a response because Inuyasha wasn't listening.

Inuyasha was watching Kagome leave with concerned eyes until she disappeared behind the school doors. Then next thing he knew the warning bell rang signaling that class was about to start so he and Miroku walked into the school too.
