"I lived with my Uncle. My mom, and dad died in a car wreak, my mom had just had my little brother, Souta, and I our dad and his brother dealed out drugs. They both regularly beat my mom and I." She laughed bitter sweetly as tears came to her eyes
"She always stood up for him. No matter how hard he beat us, no mater how long either one of us was in the hospital," She paused and turned her head out the window in an effort to hide her tears, I felt anger well up inside. Her breath shook as she in-held and she turned back to me.
"Anyway. My dad was diving home with my mom, they said he was on some type of drug; its been so long I can't even remember what kind. I was baby sitting Souta at my Uncles. He was passed out drunk when they called, they told me that i had to put my guardian on the phone, but he wasn't available so we had to go up there the next day to see. Long story short, we had to live with our uncle who is always either drunk or beating me." I growled which caused her wide eyes to peer up at me
"Why does he only beat you? Where is your brother? Why is he not helping you?" I asked trying to keep the anger out of my voice, her eyes went down to her lap and a small graced her face .
"He doesn't know it happens, hes always at school or at a friends. Which is just fine, i don't want him near my Uncle. Hes 11 and he has so many things going for him, he has good grades and he likes soccer, he has a lot of friends and hes in advanced classes. Of course he knows what goes on as far as the drugs and alcohol. But he doesn't let that hold him back, not like I did." Her face lit up as she talked about her brother and what he was in and his grades, it brought a small smile to my face, it quickly disappeared as soon as he remembered the rest of her story.
"Why are not scared off all males? I mean if your father and uncle are so horrible." I asked, just completely out of curiosity, she smiled
"You know as horrible as they were, I know not every one is like that and I had actually run away three years ago so I had adjusted, I used to be terrified."
"You ran away? And he found you?" i asked, she nodded
"Is that why he beat you half to death?" I growled out my anger coming back, I saw her flinch and noticed i was letting myself lose control and my powers were attacking hers. I took a deep breath and pulled it back in.
"I'm sorry." I said, I opened my mouth to say something but the car stopped suddenly and I was caught off by a tapping on the front window. I turned my attention forward and looked at the cat like demon that Jaken had rolled down the window to talk to.
"Whatcha doin here homie?" He asked propping his elbow up on the window seal to flash his gun that was held in his hand. Jaken stammered a response and the cats eyes narrowed. I heard Kagome sigh and the door pop open. My head snapped to the side and grabbed her wrist just before she shut the door.
"Where are you going?" I asked my eyes narrowing
"I grew up here, remember? I know how to get in, just don't interfere okay?" She asked
"Interfere? What are you planning on doing?" I asked She rolled her eyes and tapped on my wrist.
"Trust me." She whispered as she pulled her wrist away from me I whined after she slammed the door shut and leaned over to pear out the window I watched as she strutted up with a mean look on her face
"Hey fool back up!" She yelled her voice loud and clear, the man turned and looked at her up and down. I growled.
"And who are you momma? Is that 'cha pimp in there?" He asked chuckling
"Didn't I say to back up?" She asked standing toe to toe with him her hair was blow back and i could see the fire in her eyes.
"And what are you gonna do if i don'ts huh?" He asked bending down to growl in her face. She laughed before she responded and she smiled menacingly up through her lashes.
"Well then I'm gonna need you to go get my Uncle. Your boss." His eyes widened and he stepped back, his body was stiff
"Your..?" He trailed off
"Kagome? Yea I am. Now your ass better move before i skin you like the animal you are." She growled out, He nodded and ran off. I stared wide eyed as she smiled and skipped back to the car, I looked at Jaken and he had the same expression of absolute amazement on his face.
"How did you do that?" I asked breathlessly as she climbed in and shut the door.
"You just gotta look either pretty or mean and have an attitude, and sometimes the right people." I said smiling at Sesshomaru, Jaken shifted the car into drive and we drove down the street in silence. We pulled up to the up to the rickety house Kagome and I got out. The air smelled of smoke and copper, my nose wrinkled at the horrid combination, the house looked as if it used to be a bright yellow or white but you could no longer tell because the paint had begun to chip off, the door was a pale rusted red. the windows were fogged over where you couldn't see inside. The doors suddenly slammed open and the hinges squeaked as the wind blew making the house seem even more unapproachable, in the door way stood a very tall man with ebony black hair that brushed at his upper thighs and absorbed what little light hit it through the dark gray clouds. His tall frame was covered with a long robe and loose jeans that hung low on his bony hips.
"So your not dead?" He asked with a sly smile on his face showing his yellow stained fangs. Kagomes face paled
