The results were telling, and yet, like she thought nothing was done. Because of her age, her parents were able to talk circles around the social workers. Even though the rape kit was positive, they didn't have any DNA to go on. The x-rays proved of multiple breaks, fractures, and several old poorly healed fractures. The doctor had even swallowed his ego and tried to push the case, but none of it worked. Her father was able to sweet talk himself out of any lawsuits, as always. He had a story and excuse for everything, and it didn't help that she didn't have any family that was near. So it was deemed that the 'troubled teen' was best off just staying where she was. Seeing as her father had told everyone that she was an out of control teen, he just took blame for not keeping a better eye on her. 'Laughable!' she thought.
Kagome leaned her head back on the tree bark, her freshly split lip still throbbing. Because of her severe condition he had been easy on her lately, making sure that she healed so as not to being any more suspicion down on himself. It was apparent that he needed to lie low for a little while, at least if he wanted people to believe his bullshit. 'Me being in a gang, please!' she thought again. It had been one of the reasons he had said as to why she had been beaten so badly, it also worked to explain the rape too.
"One day…" she heard, opening her eyes and seeing Sesshoumaru. She smiled lightly, but let him finish his thought. "One day…I'm going to get you out of here!" she could hear the promise in his voice.
"Sessh, I appreciate all the things you've done for me, really. But let's face it, you can't save me from this." She said.
"Maybe not right now, but when you're older." He replied as he sat down next to her. She instantly snuggled into his side, knowing that he would've pulled her in either way. And she secretly loved it, she wouldn't ever say anything but she had started to feel for Sesshoumaru as more than a friend. Ever since she was fourteen, but she nothing would come of it so better not to make anything of it.
"If you say so Sessh." She said with a smile.
So sorry for not updating yesterday, it was NOT a good day for me so I just couldn't bring myself to stare at my computer. But you get a treat! This it the chapter that was meant for yesterday, and I'm going to post another chapter for today and it is twice as long as my usual ones. Hopefully that makes up for me missing yesterday. Thank you so much and enjoy!
