Chapter 5

While everybody was being picked up, Rin grabbed her bike.

"Hey Rin would you like a ride home? It's getting pretty dark and the night is getting cold." Cho asked, her head sticking out of the passenger side window.

Rin smiled and shook her head, "Thanks….but no thanks. I'll be fine." Cho nodded and she was gone. Rin mounted her bike and started pedaling home. The wind in her hair was refreshing. She was just so curious about that man. She couldn't let him go. That black silhouette was imprinted in her mind.

As she rounded the corner to her house she rode into the backyard. She chained her bike up and walked through the back door.

"God damn it!" Rin heard the booming voice followed by a clash of breaking glass. She ran through the kitchen and into the living room. She saw her father standing in the middle of a wrecked room, breathing heavily. His face was prickly and his clothes were stained.

"What happened?!" Rin asked him walking towards him. The closer she got to him the more the smell of alcohol invaded her senses. It stung her eyes and smelled atrocious.

Not again.

Ever since Rin's mother died her father had become a drunk. He couldn't handle her death and turned all his anger to his daughter, Rin. He blamed her for her mother's death. It became worse when he lost his job. His tardiness and work ethic were the cause of this, but he put even more blame on Rin. She tried her best to make things work but it just made things worse. She resorted to avoiding him whenever she could.

When she reached him Rin put a hand on his arm. It was meant as a soothing gesture but he took it as pity and smacked her hand away.

"Get off of me." He glared at her and she lowered her head. Nothing she did could make it better. She started to walk away to her room when she felt herself being shoved forward. Rin lost her balance and fell down onto the wall hitting her forehead on the hard surface. Her vision blurred and everything seemed to be doubled. Then she felt a tug at her hair and screamed as she was getting pulled. Her bare legs cut on the glass and her hands tried to untangle her hair from her father's grasp. When they reached the back door he pulled Rin up to stand and then yanked her arm up and used it to force her whole body out the door. Rin tripped over her own feet and tumbled down onto the wet grass.

"When you learn to be respectful, you can come back!" Her father yelled and then slammed the door close. She couldn't help the tears that were flowing down her face. What had she done to ever deserve this? She knew that people had it worse off than she did but right now….she hated it. She thought it was horrible. Her mother dead and now her father was a drunk.

She stood up and brushed the dirt and grass off of her. Rin walked away, her head hung low in shame.

She walked a half mile to Cho's house. She climbed up the side and knocked on Cho's window. No lights were on inside and Rin figured she had gone out.

Duh…..it's Friday night.She supposed Cho was out with her night life friends. They were the people who always got Cho in trouble but she would always say it was worth it when it was all done and over with. Rin sighed and climbed back down. Now what was she suppose to do?

She walked around for a bit thinking about what to do. Most kids her age would have run away by now. Crappy home, crappy life, run away and make a new one and hope it's better than the one you had before.

Even if that was what Rin wanted to do where would she go? She already tried Cho's house and she didn't want to impose on the other girls.

Rin thought of the well. What if she went back to Kagome? She could start a new life there. Rin shook her head. That was a crazy idea. She would be leaving her home, her friends, and everything that she knew on a limb. But still, maybe a weekend visit wouldn't hurt. Maybe use it as a sort of test run.

What a genius idea!Rin thought. She walked by a few stores and saw a mini mart. If she was going to do it she should probably bring a few things with her. She walked in and checked how much money she kept in her shoe. Rin figured she had enough. She grabbed a couple of instant noodles, chips, chocolate of course, some bottled water, a water bottle, a yellow backpack, a flash light and batteries, and a small toiletry bag with shampoo, conditioner, body soap, and face wash. She had 20 yen left and put that in the small pocket in the front of her back pack. She was barely able to put everything in there, but she managed.

She thought of taking her bike too but didn't feel like walking back to her house. She wanted to avoid another encounter with her father. She was now a few miles away from the shrine and decided to take the bus. As she got to the bus stop the bus pulled up and she got on. She sat close to the front.

After about 10 minutes the stop to the shrine was up. She hopped off the bus and made her way to the well. It was around nine at night and it was closed. She had to climb over the small wall and a fence. Luckily no alarms were tripped. Rin followed the signs back to where she and her friends snuck off to. She opened and closed the door ands was now inside. She let out a sigh of relief and walked down a few steps. When she got to the well she leaned over the edge.

What if it all was just a dream? What if I go back there and a youkai kills me? What if, what if, what if! Just jump already!You know it's bad when you get annoyed with yourself. Mustering up whatever bravery she had she climbed up on the ledge of the well and was staring down into the black hole. She felt a little like Alice jumping into the rabbit's hole.

"Well here we go." She whispered and jumped into the black abyss.

Youkai- demon

Yūjin- friend

A/N

I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter. It wasn't as hard to write as the last few so maybe it's just when I deal with the guys is when it gets hard. They're fictional and they're still hard to deal with! I have soooooooooo many ideas for later chapters and maybe a mini scene of….wait for it…..SELFIES WITH SESSHOMARU! Hehe, but that comes later. I'm enjoying this story but I'm thinking of maybe starting another as well with The Vampire Diaries. What do you guys think? Are two stories at a time too much to handle?

Let me know. And also I want to hear what you guys think will happen next. I'm interested to see what you guys think.

I updated chapeter 4. I noticed some mistakes and I translated the words I used. Sorry about that he he.

As always I love your reviews and hope to hear from you!
