A Reason For Everything

Chapter 5: the past always will always come back

"Inuyasha how nice to see you again." His father spoke with bitter sarcasm. Inuyasha gave a light chuckle.

"So we're back to the good ole' bonding technique you've always used, huh dad?" Inuyasha said. His father grimaced and sent a swift, hard kick to Inuyasha's stomach. Reveling in how his son tried so hard not to cry out from the pain. Fully enjoying himself, Inutashio grabbed Inuyasha by his hair and pulled him up.

"You want to get smart with me?" He growled, still holding Inuyasha by his hair. Inuyasha kept quite which only enraged his father further. Inutashio began to beat Inuyasha, taking pride in every strike he made. He laughed when he began to see his son's face run red with the blood that began to spill from it. His enjoyment grew as he watched his son begin to cry, tears of pain running down his blood stained face. Did he stop? Another blow to the head gave him that answer.

Inuyasha's mind became a haze as he began to fall into unconsciousness. Kagome, Inuysha's head jerked up. Kagome, Inuyasha's eyes widen and a grunt escaped hi mouth as his father kicked him again in the stomach.

'Ahh this feels nice.' Kagome thought as she let herself soak in her nice porcelain tub. She reached over and grabbed the sponge and began to wash herself. Her mind, however, was on a certain hanyou hottie. 'I wonder why Inuyasha was so cold at first, and why does everyone hate him so?' She thought, as she ran her hand over her arms, scrubbing lightly.

Kagome was bought out of her deep thinking (a/n: sorry I couldn't think of another word for it) by a loud bang downstairs. Quickly getting out of the tub she dressed herself in her pajamas, and headed downstairs.

"Mom," Kagome sighed as she walked over to her mother. "Did you go to the bar again?"

She bent down and helped her mother to stand up. Her mother glared her and jerked her arm away from Kagome's grasp. Glaring her mother spat back,

"What would it matter to a little bitch like you anyways?" Kagome looked hurt at first and shook it off, convincing herself that her mother was just a violent drunk and didn't mean it.

"Forgive me mother, I must be having an off-day." Kagome said bowing her head in respect.

Her mother stared down at her in disgust and roughly pushed Kagome aside.

"Everyday must be an off-day if you can't even find yourself a boyfriend, huh?" Her mother gave a short bitter filled laugh, before stumbling over to the fridge and taking out a bottle of whisky.

Kagome rushed right over and snatched the bottle from her mother's hand.

"I think you've had enough to drink already mom." She said, putting the bottle of alcohol on top of her fridge so that her mother couldn't reach it unless she was sober. Her mother let out a snarl and roughly grabbed Kagome by her hair and dragged her away from the Fridge.

"Give it back now!" Her mother shouted. Kagome released herself from her grip.

"No not until you go wash up! You reek of alcohol, drugs and sex! Go take a shower and sober up before you ruin even more of your life!" Kagome screamed, watching as her mother's face flushed before turning red with anger.

"How dare you tell me what to do!?" Her mother responded, pushing Kagome back into a lamp, which fell to the floor sending thousand of tiny glass shards flying. Her mother pushed her again, this time Kagome fell back onto some of the pieces, thus cutting her hands in the process of trying to stop her fall. Her mother leaned over her.

"How dare you! Who pays for the food you shove in your mouth!? Who pays for the clothes on your greedy little back!? Huh!? I'll tell you who, ME! I'm the one who's always there for you! I give you what you want! I send you to school and take care of you and this is how you thank me!?" Mrs. Higurashi spat on Kagome's face (or tried to at least) before trying to make her way up the stairs to shower. Leaving Kagome fighting the urge to cry, deciding against it Kagome got up and grabbed a broom and dust pan to clean up the mess. Just then the phone rang. Stopping what she was doing she put down the broom and picked it up.

Can I forget you?

Can I forget your name?

Can I forgive you?

Can I forgive this pain?

"Moshi moshi" She answered

"Kagome?" A raspy voice answered.

"This is she; may I ask whose calling?"

"It's Inuyasha."

"Inuyasha…. Are you alright? You sound like you've been running or something"

He laughed a bit.

"You could say that."

"Are you alright?" She asked.

"I will be I just don't think I can stay at my house tonight. If it's okay with you….uh…. could I maybe……um I don't know….. stay at your house?"

"I would love to say yes but my mom is slightly intoxicated, I don't want you to see it."

"It's okay I will be able to handle it. Please you are the only one to show me kindness since I was eight."

"Alright, my address is 478 Christmas street (a/n that is a real street down here in Florida, my friend lives on it.)"

"I know where that is, it's not to far from here, so I'll see you in about 10 minutes."

"Hai, I'll see you then."

Kagome put down the phone and finished cleaning up the rest of the broken lamp, before going and getting extra sheets and pillows for him.

All along I've had nothing to die for

No one to live for

Can I live for you?

Inuyasha hung up the phone and walked out of the gas station. It was a bitch trying to get away from his father but he managed. Who knew a few swings to the right places on someone's head could knock them out? He didn't even have time to dress his wounds, and hopefully Kagome wouldn't ask any questions. He looked at her address once more before heading down the street. Luckily her house was only the 4th one. He walked up to her house and before he could knock she opened the door.

Will you give me a reason to breathe?

Will you help me if I should bleed?

Give me all that I need

And I'll give you all of me.

Kagome had been watching for Inuyasha through the window shortly after getting off the phone with him. But she had never expected to open the door and find a battered Inuyasha waiting there on her door step.

"Inuyasha, what happened to you? Come in" Kagome said, shutting the door behind him once he stepped in.

"Could you please just forget that question and let me stay here, at least for tonight?" He snapped back, half expecting her to snap back. Instead she bowed her head in respect (that's how she was raised to be respectful) and nodded yes.

"I'm sorry Inuyasha, I was just curious, but I am always here if you need to talk." She said smiling at him, hoping to hide her bloodied hands behind her back, no such luck.

Can I count on you to be my strength?

Can I trust you to hold me straight?

Show me what I found in you,

Is something I could never lose.

"Kagome, what happened to your hands?" He asked, gently taking them into his own and examining them.

"Oh this is nothing I just…. Fell on some glass I broke, when I crashed a lamp by accident." Kagome responded, hey at least she didn't tell a flat out full lie eh?

Inuyasha just nodded taking that answer for now, before fallowing her (as she gestured it) toward where he would be sleeping.

Teach me nothing last forever

But never say never

Let me hear your voice

In a silent prayer

To give me faith

Once Inuyasha was settled on her floor Kagome crawled into her own bed. Before turning off her bedside lamp, she looked over to Inuyasha and said,

"I will wake you up in the morning for school; you just focus on getting some sleep."

Inuyasha nodded and Kagome shut off the light and laid down.

"Oh, Inuyasha?" Kagome asked.

"Yeah?" He responded.

"Did you get a chance to copy down my vet notes?"

Inuyasha smiled a bit.

"Nah I didn't sorry, I didn't get a chance to but I will."

"Oh okay, no rush I was just wandering, good night." She whispered lightly.

"Night" He whispered back, lightly smiling and all the while thinking 'I just may have someone to trust after all.'

Will you give me a reason to breathe?

Will you help me if I should bleed?

Give me all that I need

And I will give you all……..

Of me.

In the cold rain

Offer your warmth

And I

Will learn to trust

Trust in you
