Chapter 4

As i lied there i felt the warmth of the sun hitting my skin; i didn't realize it was morning already,i didn't remember falling asleep. When i opened my eyes i realized that i wasn't at home. I was in a strange place i hoped that the things from yesterday had been just a really bad dream i was wrong.

As i got up i realized i wasn't alone there was a girl in the room with me. she sat there, quietly waiting on me to say something i guess,

"Good morning I'm Rin i introduced myself last night, i don't think you were paying attention"she said as she just smiled at me.

I said nothing to her as i made my bed, it's not that i didn't like her i just didn't want to talk. Images of what used to be my family flashed in my head it sickened me. I felt weak as i stood there, my mind was racing almost as if it didn't want me to forget what had happened in the last day.

It was then i promised myself then i would find the person that did this and i would make them pay. Even as i thought this i knew that i wanted to see the men who did this suffer i wanted them to have the same look that my brother had the one of true fear.

I stood there for what seemed like hours only to realize it had only been minutes, Rin was still there looking at me smiling hoping i would say something or at least acknowledge that she was there. I couldn't help but look over at her and nod my head.

I guess that's all she really wanted, because she jumped right up and looked at me,

"I can tell that we are going to be the best of friend, now let's go get breakfast" She said chipperly as she took my hand and started pulling me out the door.

" You just wait you will make lots of friends here" she said happily

'friends i never had many friends before. Why would i want some now' i thought

I hadn't realized it before but Rin was still talking to me ,suddenly we came to a stop,

"Hey are you even listening to me?" she said as she giggled

All i did was nod my head no, what more could i do i had no clue to what she was talking about,

laughing she said " i asked what your name was silly, but you wasn't listening again"

i looked at her in shock my name, Why would she want to know my name. I didn't say anything as we kept walking I don't want to. She didn't seem to mind as she pulled me along behind her. She was a chatty one. She again asked my name I still didn't answer her question i didn't have to the women that brought me here did it for me.

"Rin dear her name is Kagome and she may not speaks she been through alot in the past few days and has went mute but please keep her company and help her fit in." lady kaede told her she nodded and continued on to where I was standing a few inches away.

"I'm sorry Kagome but don't you worry I don't care that you don't talk."Rin said to me.

we walked through the breakfast line and got our food, it didn't look or smell that great, but it was food. when we sat down Rin was looking at me smiling,

"i want you to meet some of my friends. Is that okay with you?" she said

I didn't really know what to think she was just being so nice to me she made me feel like i had i actually mattered. I nodded my head yes.

"Oh thank you i just know that you are going to like them. They're really nice." she said with happiness radiating out of her words.

As i waited to meet these friends of hers she went on talking telling me about herself and where she came from, i was rather fascinated by how quickly she had wanted to share all of this with me. I learned a lot about her in those few minutes. She was from Okinawa, she was 15 and she was orphaned when her parents died in a car wreck. She finally stopped talking long enough to take a bite of food after chewing it up and swallowing.

She was a very pleasant person to be around. I felt welcomed by herr. I stopped mid bite when she started waving her arms as if flagging someone down.

" kagome I want to introduce you to my friend's The tall guy with the brown hair in a ponytail is Koga. The girl with the red hair is Ayame. The younger guy with the orange hair is Shippo." Rin said happily

I just nodded my head she smiled at me and continued eating. The others joined us with their trays.

"hey Rin who's your new friend." said the guy named Koga.

"this I Kagome she's new and we also share a room." she said with a huge smile.

"hi Kagome nice to meet you." Ayame said smiling.

"umm she doesn't talk but I'm sure she's happy to meet you guys." Rin explained to them what kaede told her and they nodded and started chatting among themselves. I ate what I could of the mess on my plate what they called food.
