Kagome didn't go to class that day. She waited at the picnic table the whole day for Dom. Kagome sat through the whole day, ensnaring her thoughts with problems. 5:47. He wasn't coming. She stood up to leave, but the scent of roasted almonds filled the air, and made Kagome's heart skip.
" Kagome!" Dom had come. Kagome fell back onto the bench, yelling at the sudden weight that was put on her bad foot. Dom hurried over and sat down next to her.
"What's wrong?" Kagome looked up at him. Then flung herself into his arms.
" He came last night." Kagome whispered into his chest.
" What did he do?" Dom asked gently stroking her hair. Kagome pulled down her hood, and moved her bangs to the left. Dom gasped at he sight of Kagome's purpled and slightly yellow bruise on her temple. There was even a mesh of green mixed in the bruise.
Then she pulled off her sweatshirt, and pulled up her beater just enough to see her very bruised ribs.
" That's what he did." Kagome said with a flat voice.
" I don't understand." Dom said pulling her into his lap. The scent of roasted almonds over whelmed Kagome. She felt light. She felt free. She felt drugged. And she loved it. With a sigh Kagome began her story.
" It all started with a Priestess and a half-demon, they loved each other very much. But how easily it was turned against them. They were deceived. The Priestess Kikyou died, and the Half- demon Inuyasha was sealed to a tree for 50 years.
And me, in present time. Fifteen years old, young, stupid, impressionable, gullible, and naive. I was pulled through a hidden well on my family's shrine, 500 years into the past.
I set Inuyasha free, and embraced his slow coming friendship. Then I broke the Shikon no Tama that was in my body, and it was scattered all over Japan. We gained friends and jewel shards along our journey. We even fell in love, or at least I did.
He betrayed me, tried to rape me and kill me! Then I came here to forget, but even here I can't. I see him everywhere, even with my waking eyes! It's horrid!" As Kagome continued with her story the weight on her chest seemed to get heavier. Not lighter as she thought is would.
"... And every time I bleed a lot he goes away. That's the short story, and how I ended up here." Kagome crained her acheing neck to look at him. She could've swore that his eyes flickered yellow as there was a cry in the distance. Dom stood up, leaving Kagome to fall back painfully onto the bench.
" That's my mom. I gotta go. good-bye." With that Dom disappeared into he fog.
' So that's it... I spill my heart and soul to you and then you leave?' And there Kagome sat, suddenly the good feeling was gone, and the weight on her chest was bigger than ever. But worst of all, Kagome started to feel a presence behind her. Jumping up Kagome ran as fast as she could in her condition. Tripping over her injured foot Kagome fell to the cold hard asphalt.
crawling in my skin
these wounds they will not heal
fear is how I fall
confusing what is real
The rain seemed to fall faster as Kagome struggled to stand. She could hear him behind her. The hairs on her neck seemed to stand on end. He was getting closer.
there's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface
consuming/confusing
this lack of self-control I fear is never ending
controlling/I can't seem
to find myself again
my walls are closing in
(without a sense of confidence and I'm convinced that there's just too much pressure to take)
I've felt this way before
so insecure
Kagome stumbled out of her too big shoes. Colliding once again with the ground Kagome heard him say her name.
"Kagome." It came out sounding as if he'd swallowed gravel. She could feel his breath on the back of her neck. It sent shivers up her twisted spin.

against my will I stand beside my own reflection
it's haunting how I can't seem...

Scrambling to her feet Kagome ran on, leaving her shoes behind. The mansion was insight as Kagome started to run out of breath. Her bruised ribs weren't expanding enough.

Sopping wet and without her sweatshirt Kagome exploded into the mansion.
"Kurt!" She screamed. He would help her; save her from this nightmare.
" Vhat is it?!" Kurt asked urgently coming into the hall, along with everyone else.
" It was horrible!" Kagome yelled throwing herself into his chest. " He was chasing me an-" Kagome stopped in mid sentence as she saw what was lurked over Kurt's shoulder. To the right of the Professor stood his business associate
Sesshomaru.
Kagome pushed Kurt away and starred a Sesshomaru with disbelief. His hair ws black, and his tail ws gone, but she could tell it was him. Turning on her good heel Kagome once again fled up the stairs. Slamming the door Kagome ran to the bathroom. Checking if her tongue was the right color Kagome sunk to the floor, and gasped as she remembered something she said months ago.
" Now all I need to do I see Sesshomaru, and then I'll I'm outta my tree."
Kagome grabbed her head and thumped it against the wall. " I'm not crazy! I'm NOT! He's here? Why the hell is he here?!" Kagome screamed.
And down stairs once again everyone was standing still confused as hell. Most of all was Kurt, who was kind of sad that his arms were empty.
" Who's he? She sounded real scared. Like he did something bad to her." Evan said a loud. The silence set in, and everyone went back to the dinner table. But the golden silence was broken when Scott slammed his fists down on the table.
" It's rude to do that when company's over! I'm going to bring her down here and have her apologize!" Scott yelled, standing up.
" Scott no!" Jean yelled back, making Scott stop. " I don't really know, but Kagome's been through a lot. "
" Well, we would know what happened is she would talk to us! She never comes down! It's like she's on some sort of drug or something!" Nobody said anything.
" It's best to leave her alone right now!"
" That's what we've been doing since August! You saw the scars on her stomach! What kind of crazed freak would do something like that!? It's something she needs to talk about!"
" Hey, in that forest session," Kitty but in, " when Kagome was fighting with nothing. Didn't she say something like 'Die, Inuyasha, like it was a name." Both Shippo and the dark-haired stranger that was Sesshomaru choked on their meal. Kurt, who had been watching Shippo, saw this.
" You know something about this, short man." (A dedication to my good friend Josh, the original Short Man.) Shippo looked down at his food, and didn't say anything.
" I can't say anything. I promised Kagome." Shippo simply got down from his chair and followed suit up the stairs, most likely to his room.
" I'm sorry if (he's changed!) I've caused a problem." Sesshomaru apologized standing, and going to retrieve his coat.
" It's no problem Mr. Taisho." The Professor said taking a drink. " It's probably because Kagome doesn't feel welcome here yet. Jean aren't you organizing a Fine Arts Show?" The Professor asked turning to her.
" Um, yeah."
" You could ask her to be in it." Everyone agreed.
Meanwhile upstairs Kagome was still on the floor in her bathroom. Suddenly Kagome stood up and tore through the medicine cabinet. Snatching the medical scissors, the same ones that made the laceration in her arm. Kagome held them tight in her shaking hand.
" Just this once. Just to make me feel better." Kagome pressed the tip of the scissors to the inside of her elbow.
That's chapter 13 everyone! Things are starting to heat up no? Well please, please review!
