Chapter 2: Going Back Home
I woke up to the sound of voices whispering quietly to each other, but I couldn't make out who the voices belonged to.
I opened my eyes and adjusted my vision to the dimly lit room.
I was laying on one of the small uncomfortable beds in the nurse's office.
I looked around to see Sango and Inuyasha with their backs to me standing right next to the door.
I struggled to sit up as pain shot all through my body. I cried out in pain as I wove my hands around my stomach trying to ease the pain.
I heard Inuyasha and Sango run over to me and a set of arms being wrapped around my shoulders.
I looked up to see a blurry Sango standing beside me holding me close to her.
When she was done she and Inuyasha sat down in chairs on either side of my bed.
My gaze wandered down to my hand as I played with the cuff of my sleeve.
We stayed in silence for what seemed like hours before Sango finally decided to speak up.
"Kagome," She started, "Inuyasha told me what happened and the nurse told us you had a lot of really bad cuts and bruises all over your body…" Sango stopped and I didn't dare look up.
"What shes trying to say is," Inuyasha said, "That we know that those wounds couldn't have been from Kikyo…..and both of us are really worried."
I stared blankly at the sheets covering my legs and opened my mouth to say something but I was at a loss for words.
After a minute or two I was finally able to come up with a response.
"I just….fell," I said barely above a whisper, "I was really sleepy last night and tripped and fell downstairs. There's nothing to be you need to worry about."
With that said I got out of the bed, grabbed all of my stuff, and ran out of the room before they could say anything.
I ran out of the school and down the sidewalk until I couldn't run anymore.
When my breathing slowed down I looked up to see myself standing in front of the park.
I went over to the swings and dropped my stuff to sit down and let the wind blow my hair back behind me.
After swinging for a few minutes I got up and decided to take a walk around the park.
I saw little kids running and laughing, some with each other, and others with their parents.
I walked along a little dirt path kicking up rocks and dust with every step.
I got to the edge of a thick area of that only had a dirt path going through it and surrounded by darkness and stopped.
I debated whether or not I wanted to continue my walk through the woods or to turn back, and decided to continue my walk whether it looked creepy or not.
I started to walk again and further into the deep abyss of forest the colder it got. I wrapped my arms around myself as I started to shake.
I heard footsteps behind me and I started to walk faster, but before I could take two steps I felt two arms snake their way around my waist and pull me towards them.
They leaned down and inhaled my cent and let out a deep sigh. I cold shiver ran down my spine as I squirmed trying to pry his arms from me.
"It's good to see you again Kaggie," he said and the name he used made me flinch, "It's been so long since the last time I saw you, I've missed you so much."
"Well I don't want to see you, Naraku," I hissed back, and as I said this his arms tightened around my waist.
He pulled me closer leaning his mouth towards my ear and putting his hand under my shirt gently massaging my stomach.
He smirked as he felt me start shaking and whispered in my ear,
"I have will have you back my sweet. I will do whatever it takes to make sure you're in my arms again, and with that he left.
I started shaking as sobs wracked my body and I fell to my knees letting the tears run freely down my face.
I slowly got up and started running back down the path desperately searching for any kind of light.
I got to the swings and rummaged in my backpack until I got what I was looking for.
I pulled out the sharp razor blade and dug it deep into my arm after pulling my sleeve up.
I watched as blood ran down my arm and I sighed with relief. I pulled the blade along my arm creating a long cut and a trail of blood.
I did the same thing two other times and put the razor back letting the blood fall off my arm and onto the ground.
I put the sleeve of my shirt back over my arm, pulled the hood from my jacket over my head, and got up to walk out of the park.
After looking at my watch I saw that I had a little over ½ an hour before school let out.
I didn't really want to go home and face my father so I decided to go over to Sango's to see if I could spend the weekend at her place since it was Friday.
I walked past the school not bothering to look up.
As soon as I passed it the bell rang and you could here all the shouting and laughing of the students finally being let out for the weekend.
I continued walking until I got to the big gate separating the "rich" neighborhood from the rest of the world.
I walked up to the number box to open the box and I typed in the number for Sango's house and the gate slowly creaked open.
I stepped through the gate and made my way up the street to Sango's house. When I got to her house I walked up the driveway and to her front door and knocked.
When no one answered I decided to wait in her backyard until she got home because it was always unlocked.
Her backyard had a pool in the middle that took up about ¾ of it with a porch in between the pool and the door leading inside.
I went and layed down on the edge of the pool gazing into the dark blue water.
When my eyes started to droop I heard the front door open and close, and I quietly got up and went to the front of her house.
I stood in front of the door and adjusted the hood on my jacket before I knocked on the door.
As soon as the door opened I was met with a warm embrace from Sango in which I gratefully returned leaning my head against her shoulder.
After hugging for about 5 minutes we walked inside and up the stairs to her room.
Her room was really big and had black walls with blue carpet.
Her bed had a black and blue swirled bedspread, and had a wooden dresser across from it next to a door leading to her bathroom.
She had a big screen TV next to the dresser and had a dark blue couch across from that. She had a PS2, an Xbox 360, and a lot of games and movies.
Next to the couch there was a wooden desk that had the latest computer that just had gotten put on the market.
I walked over to the couch and sat down as Sango put in a movie.
When she turned on the screen the images from Gothika appeared. We sat in silence for the entire movie until it ended then she turned everything off.
We both sat there neither of us knowing what to talk about. Then Sango decided to say what was on her mind.
"Kagome," She started, "I'm really worried about you….we all are, even Inuyasha. I really want to know what's going on but if you don't want to talk about it I will respect your privacy."
"No," I blurted out, then stopped. I slowly took in a deep breath and let it out. "I need to tell someone I've been holding it in too long…… It all started when my mom died.
My father lost his job and started sulking around the house drinking more and more with each passing day.
At one point a few months after he started drinking he started blaming me for my mother's death and started beating me.
The beatings got worse and worse every day. It's been like that ever since.
I didn't want to tell anyone because I didn't want anyone to have to worry about me, and I didn't want anyone to get hurt because of me.
I didn't know what my father would do if he found out someone knew what was happening so I always kept that secret."
By the time I stopped I was hugging Sango so tightly I thought I would never let go. Sobs shook my body as I cried into her shoulder.
She rubbed my back and whispered into my ear trying to soothe me and calm me down. I heard thunder shake the house as rain started to pound on the house.
By the time that was over it was 9:30 and we decided to go to sleep with me taking the couch and Sango taking her bed.
When the morning came I noticed that it was still dark inside her room and saw that she had shut the curtains on her window.
I got up off the couch and stretched my legs and actually felt good about living. Right before I went downstairs I heard my cell phone ring.
I took it out of my pocket and just stared at the caller ID. Unable to speak I opened it up and put it to my ear.
"You better get your fucking ass home right now," my father hissed, "You have 20 minutes."
He hung up and I made a mad dash for the window. I flung open the curtains, opened the window and jumped out.
Even though her room was on the second floor I easily landed on my feet and started running.
I sprinted the whole way home and kept my head down the entire time. By the time I got home I was breathing so hard I couldn't stand up.
When my breathing returned to normal I stood up and reluctantly went to the door. I slowly turned the handle and went inside.
As soon as I was inside with the door close I felt myself being slammed into the floor and my father straddling me on my back.
"What the fuck is wrong with you?!"
He asked as he slammed my head into the wooden floor.
"You know very fucking well that you don't go anywhere or do anything without my permission, and you will always pay the consequences for disobeying me."
Every time he spoke he slammed my head harder and harder until I went numb all over.
I don't remember what he said or did after that.
All I know is that I passed out after he got up and was kicking me in the side.
I woke up unable to move but noticed that I wasn't on the floor anymore but on my bed with new bandages covering my body.
I struggled to sit up for what seemed like hours but was really no time at all, but every time I moved even the slightest bit my body went through a wave of pain.
My body finally gave up and I fell into a state of unconsciousness.
I felt a nudge and opened my eyes to see my father standing over me swaying and poking me in the side.
"Wake hick up. It's time to go to hick school."
Great. He's been drinking again. I pulled myself out of bed and went to take a quick shower.
When I got out I wrapped all my wounds and got dressed in my regular outfit and put on some light makeup.
I managed to limp downstairs and go outside.
I stopped and looked down the road knowing there was no way I could walk all the way to school in time even with ½ an hour to get there.
I decided I mine as well try and I was about to walk down the driveway when my father grabbed my arm and led me to his car.
My father took me to school that day and I got out and walked towards the school.
I could feel everyone's stare on me as I walked through the crowds of people to get to the doors leading to the school.
I went inside, went straight to my locker found all my stuff from Sango's house in there, and then went to class.
I knew I had almost a ½ an hour but anything was better than being at home. I went to my desk and put my head down on the cool smooth surface falling into sleep.
The next thing I know the bell is ringing.
I groggily sit up and lean my head against my hand as everyone filed into the room.
I felt the familiar whoosh of air as Inuyasha sat down next to me.
I looked at him and could tell he was about to say something when the teacher cleared her throat. I looked up and gasped. It couldn't be….. he cant be here….. this all must be a horrible dream..
"Ok class we have another new student here today," Mrs. Fries said, "His name is……
