Chapter Five

Flashback:

The darkness swallowed her whole as Kagome ran for life. Someone was stalking her down the empty street, but she didn't know who it was. All she knew was that she needed to find shelter fast and get some help.

Her body was numbed with fear that spiked to every single angle of her body. She didn't even know why she was walking alone at this time of night. She knew better than that but she just had to get away from the house to get some fresh air. Her step-parents had gotten into a fight again about who knows what, and Kagome couldn't stand the yelling so she decided to take a stroll.

Though at the moment, she wished she didn't when she was being chased by someone. Someone who was gaining distance on her and it frightened her to no end. Kagome looked around trying to find any stores open, but all the stores were pitched black as no light was shining out of the windows.

Kagome's legs burned with pain when her muscles were aching from so much running. Her pace had slowed down a lot and she looked behind her for the culprit to see if he had disappeared, but all she could see were red glowing eyes staring at her. She could hear the growl from the demon hound as it growled out 'mine'.

Not noticing the crack on the floor, Kagome tripped on it, and she fell on her hands and knees. That's when she felt her attacker pound on her and start to strip her of her necessities. Her muffled cries were unheard, and she knew no one could help her now.

Kagome struggled to get free, but it was no use. The demon on top of her was much stronger than her and was going to get what he came for tonight. Kagome felt him invade her body with the force of a bull. She felt him break her virginal barrier and she saw that when he did, he howled out to the moon like a wolf.

Everything was a blur to Kagome when she failed to identify her attacker, except for his long silver hair and his red bleeding eyes that pierced her soul. When he was done with her, he left her their laying on the gravel to rot. Kagome could not feel anything in her body. The only thing she could do was shut her eyes and curl up like a ball.

End of Flashback.

That was three years ago and it seemed like it had just happened yesterday. She knew she had to move on from the memory, but it would plague her mind every once in awhile.

Kagome knew her attacker would never get caught when she didn't bother to mention what had happen to her to anyone. She was too scared to tell anyone so on the night after the attack, Kagome had ran home after she had recovered a bit and was able to move again. She had climbed the tree leading to her bedroom window so as not to disturb her parents and climbed into bed.

She didn't get out of bed for days and her parent's thought she was sick so she got to stay home from school for about a week. After that week, her parents sent her to a doctor to get her checked out, but the doctor couldn't figure anything out. Kagome had found out that she wasn't pregnant and thank God. She was happy to at least know that little bit of information. As life went on, Kagome went through life with her daily routine and believing that nothing had happened that night.

That is where she was right now. Kagome layed in bed with Sesshomaru wrapping his arms around her. Her head nestled at his neck and shoulders as she was comfortly placed in his arms. She was content on where she was, but the disturbing memories irked her.

Not pondering much on it, Kagome started to play with Sesshomaru's silky silver hair. She twirled his hair around her fingers and in her mind, she wished she had hair like his. Her's was tangled and messy to the point where she was always having a bad hair day.

Thinking about Sesshomaru's hair, it never did occur to Kagome that Sesshomaru's hair was silver. It reminded her of her past like the hair of the man who raped her.

Propping herself on her elbow, Kagome examined Sesshomaru's features for a moment. She traced the outlines of his sleeping face with her fingers and in her mind she screamed at herself that this wasn't the same person from her past. He did resemble him a lot and it scared her, but Sesshomaru hadn't done anything at this point except protect her.

Author's Note: Sorry I had to stop the story here. I know it's short but I'll try to make it longer next time. I was starting to lose interest in all my stories, but then I remembered that I shouldn't let my readers down. Also, I'm beginning to think that my writing sucks when I'm doing bad in English class right now when I was assigned to write a short story and all I could come up was crap. Anyways review and tell me how you really feel about my writing. Criticism is allowed in this chapter as I am expecting it.
