Chapter Six: Break In and Break Out

Kagome sighed and closed the door after her as she walked out of her house. She went up the sidewalk and stopped right before her mailbox. Taking out the mail, she shifted through them. Junk, junk, and more junk. 'Figures. It's not like I know many people.' Slowly she trudged back to her house. Mostly Kagome had hoped she would have had a letter from her brother. She hadn't spoken to him in ages.

It was probably his foster parents, telling him to give her space or some lame excuse. They really didn't want him to speak with her. First impressions were always the most important...and Kagome had given them a sort of impression they weren't expecting. A scowl plastered on her face, arms crossed, eyes that were somewhat narrowed on their every move. Somehow that sounded a lot like Inuyasha, when they first met.

And she didn't say very much, either. Her mother had died, so who wouldn't act like that? Souta knew of his mother's death, but it didn't have much of an impression on him as much as father's death did. He had died right before Kagome's mother did. It looked like she had wanted to be with him, or something, but the fact that they had divorced years eariler extinquished that thought.

Kagome went inside her house, and right after she took a few steps away, the doorbell rang. Muttering things under her breath, she turned and grasped the handle and twisting it, opening the door. And there stood Inuyasha at her door, wearing his normal scowl on his face. "What do you want?" Kagome said, glaring at him. Inuyasha fidgeted a bit. "Keh. Stupid girl, I wanted to say I was sorry, even though I have no idea why,"

"What do you mean you have no idea why?!" She retorted at him. Inuyasha started to growl, his teeth bared, and that shut her up quickly. He then sighed, running a hand through his hair. "I mean, I have no idea why I'm apologizing to you." Kagome blinked.

'Wait a second...he apologized?! ...Weird.'

"Alright. Whatever. I'm leaving." Inuyasha stated, turning and walking away. Kagome came back to reality.

"Inuyasha!" He stopped and looked over his shoulder.

"What is it?"

Kagome's bangs shadowed her eyes as they looked at each other in silence.

"Thank you."

His eyes widened, startled, and it took a moment for him to regain his composure. When he did, Inuyasha looked away from her.

"Keh."

Kagome smiled as he started to walk away again, and she shut the door quietly.

"You don't get it! I need the money now!" The man screamed at the woman. She seemed close to tears. "But I don't have enough! Just wait a while longer...Please!"

"I've waited for a long time for you to get that money. I need it now!" That seemed to make the woman snap. Tears cascaded down her face, leaving shining wet trails behind.

"If you had married me instead, Ayamakita, you wouldn't be having this problem." Ayamakita wiped away her tears, but more came down. "I would never marry a monster!" He roared in laughter. "I'm no monster, you're just being a bitch."

Kagome's mother shook her head. "I may be in fact a bitch, but I am no monster. I'd rather pay money than be forced to marry someone I hate!" The man snorted, and began making fake crying noises. "Ooh, I'm marrying a terrible monster. Grow up, you fucking girl. You're acting like a child."

"And you're not?! I've lived my life, earning enough money to pay you each year so my family wouldn't die!" She shrieked, angering him even more.

"The reason Kichiru left in the first place was because of you!" The man sneered at her. "He made a good choice, that bastard. He stole my woman, and so he payed the cost."

"By killing him?! I was doing what I needed to be able to live with him! And still you kill him! Why, Onigumo?! Why?!" He snarled at her, grabbing her around the neck, cutting off her air supply. "Do not ever use that name again. I am Naraku, you bitch!" Ayamakita cried out in pain as he let go, making her crash to the floor.

"I know you always were Naraku...But everyone who cared for you called you Onigumo, 'Naraku', before you went crazy and killed everyone..." She said hoarsely, rubbing her neck.

Naraku was silent for a couple seconds. "Go. Leave me, now." The woman got up and limped away quickly, but not before Naraku called after her.

"I'll be wanting that money in two months. Two months, do you understand?!"

Ayamakita was almost out the door when Naraku started talking again, saying the words that she would remember until she died.

"If you don't, you're daughter belongs to me."

Kagome yawned, getting up off her bed. She walked downstairs, feeling sick. Perhaps she should stay at home today. 'Nah, it's just one of those feelings you get when you first get out of bed. It'll pass.' A crash sounded in her home, and she froze. 'What was...' Kagome then felt it...something or someone...getting closer. She grabbed a knife from the drawer and held it up.

'This is silly. There's no way someone's in her--' Something grabbed her from behind, making her scream. Hands went up to cover her mouth, and she bit down, trying to break free.

"GODDAMN IT, YOU STUPID BITCH!" She was hit in the head, and she passed out from the contact. The man rubbed his hand, grimacing when it bled. "Fucking bitch has sharp teeth..." The man murmured, picking her up and throwing her over his shoulder. He would have to remember that when she woke up. Hopefully no one heard her scream, unless they had really good ears.

He leaped out of the window he had come in through, and leaped away from her house, oblivious that a certain hanyou had heard the noise and had woken up.
