Chapter 8 - Welcome home.
I had been sitting in my driveway since this morning I was to chicken shit to go inside. It's night now and I'm just sitting here, just staring. Starting at my "home". I mustered up all the courage I had and I walked to front door, it was slightly ajar. I nudged it, slipping inside. The living room smelled of alcohol. The house was dark. Only the kitchen light was left on. The floor was covered in empty beer bottles, I nearly tripped over all of them. I peeked into the Kitchen, it was empty. The front door slammed shut, I spun around. There he was, standing there in the dark.
He took a swing of beer. "You came back to me. You'll always come back." His words were slurred. He teetered over to me, into the light.
"Why?"
"Why what?" He had a couple hiccups.
"Why... why did you kill them. Her husband, her child Kouga! How could you?!"
He slumped onto the kitchen chair. "You left. Again, you needed to be taught a lesson."
"Taught a lesson?." With every word he said, just pushed me further and further.
"Since they had to pay the price for you. I'll spare you a beating tonight." He laughed. "You're welcome. Now make me some Unagi, you know how I like it."
Then it happened. I snapped, I kicked him out of the chair. Pouncing on him. I grabbed an empty bottle off the kitchen floor slamming it into his face. Bursting his lip. He threw me off of him, slamming me into the stove, the ovens glass shattering.
"You shouldn't have done that." He kicked me in the stomach.
He wrapped his hands around my throat pinning me against the wall, my feet dangling in the air. I had to do something and fast. I grabbed his split with both my hands and tore it right in half. He cried out in pain, Dropping me to the floor. Blood was seeping from his bottom lip. I got to my feet, my eyes darting around for a way to escape...he was blocking my only way out..
"You stupid bitch!" He smashed my head in with an empty beer bottle. I dropped to floor once again. My head was spinning everything was blurry. I screamed out in pain, there was a sharp pain in the bottom of my foot. I blinked a few times l, clearing my vision... there was a large shard of a broken beer bottle sticking out of my calve . The son of a bitch stabbed me, I pulled it out hissing in pain.
"I'm going to make you wish you were dead, by the time in done with you." The blood cascaded down his chin and drenching his shirt. He grabbed a handful of my hair punching me in the eye. I could already feel it swelling. He pinned me down to the floor.
"You ungrateful slut, I gave you everything. A roof over your head. I cloth you, feed you this is how you repay me!"
A mixture of his blood and my spit, sprayed on my face as he yelled.
"YOU GAVE ME NOTHING!" My voice cracked. "You took everything from me. You didn't love me. YOU! Don't know what love is. I'm just an object to you, some arm candy to show off. The perfect wife you use as a punching bag. So, you gave me nothing. You only take, you're like a leech. You suck the life out of everything, because you're empty and miserable on the inside. So fuck you, you gave me nothing. NOTHING! Sesshomaru? In the couple of days I've been with him. He's given me more than you ever have. He's the one who loves me he would never hurt me, he is more of a man than you could have ever been."
He just stared at me. His eyes wide and empty. He wrapped his hands around my throat again. Harder than before. I stuck my thumb in his eye, scooping it out. He flew back screaming in pain clutching his bloody empty socket. I kicked him between the legs. Darting for the front door. He was right on my tail. Crap I had dropped the keys the keys in the kitchen. I couldn't waste anytime knocking on the neighbors doors. I limped as fast as I could down the street, even then he still chased me. My legs were burning, I pushed them harder. No way in hell I was going to stop now. The fire station was so close, just a little further. Fuck! It's garage door was closing. I ran faster, Kouga still pursued me. It was almost fully shut. I leapt onto the sidewalk rolling under it before it shut. The last thing I saw was Kouga standing across the street, bloody and battered. Then.
It all went black.
