Ch 2 – Clean the House

Kagome made it home before he did. She snuck in through her window and sat back down on bed. She starred at her bare walls and thought of the boy she just met. He was so caring, he really seemed to want to help her. He said he would bring her food but we'll just see how long that lasts. Hopefully she can sneak out again tomorrow. He always leaves into town every morning, that's when she usually sneaks out. She walks in the forest for some fresh air and tries to find some wild berries. She sighed remembering the one time she tried to run away. He found her in just a couple of hours, she shook when she remembered her punishment for running away. Just then she heard someone walk into the door and shook with fear. Step, step, step, he was making his way to her room. BAM! The door swung open. "Alright, get out here!" He said, Kagome stood up slowly and he stormed up to her and grabbed her hair, "I said to move!" he shouted pulling her into the hallway. "Okay, if you want to eat tonight then I expect this place clean by the time the sun goes down. If you clean it to my liking you can eat. If you don't, I will just have to punish you again." Kagome began to shake and quickly got to work cleaning.

"Well, well, look who decided to show up to work!" Said Miroku tossing a rake to Inuyasha "You can start with that!" He said smiling at his friend.

"What did you tell the boss?" Inuyasha said grinning as he caught the rake.

"I told them, my best friend is a lazy bum who doesn't want to grow up!" He laughed

"Yeah, yeah, for real though" He said beginning to rake the landscape.

"I told them you were sick last night and didn't feel good this morning and that I didn't know if you'd be in for work."

"Thanks," Inuyasha said as he looked around "looks like you got a lot done. Trying to impress someone?" He cocked an eye brown

"I don't know what you're talking about, this is a normal amount of work for a man. But I don't expect you to know anything about that Peter-Pan!" He said tossing a hose at his friend "Come on, help me water the crops."

They walked over to the rows of vegetables "So what were you doing all morning?" Miroku asked watering the plants.

"I went to the forest to relax. I met this girl there." He said watering the row beside his friend.

"You met a girl in the forest?" He asked surprised

"Yeah, she looked like she was staving so I brought her some food." Inuyasha said, he face got serious remembering how sunk in her cheeks were.

Miroku picked up on his serious face, Inuyasha was never serious, something was up. "What do you mean starving?"

"It looked like she hadn't eaten in days, her face was sunk in, her cheeks, her eyes…It was bad." Inuyasha said in his most serious tone.

"Just her face?" He asked

"I couldn't see the rest of her, she was wearing long winter clothes." He said looking at his friend

"Hmm. Something sounds off." He said. They both heard someone approaching at got quiet. It was the boss's daughter. She had Straight bangs and her hair was in a long low pony tail. She had on a pink blouse and blue jean shorts that went across her waist and rounded across her butt perfectly.

"I thought you two might be thirsty, or at least one of you" She giggled handing them glasses of ice tea. "I saw you come up a minute ago, are you feeling better?" She asked eyeing Inuyasha, she knew he would play hooky often and Miroku always covered for him. The boys took the drinks and she walked away. Miroku eyed her butt as she walked back up to the house.

"You're a pig" Inuyasha said shaking his head at Miroku

"Call me what you want, I'm a man." He said, turning back to the work at hand.

They boys finished their work and began to walk home "So tell me more about this girl?" Miroku asked filling the silence.

"She was really pretty, but something just seemed off. She said she doesn't eat at home so I'm going to start taking her food." Inuyasha said, it was a statement, he wasn't asking for permission. Miroku nodded.

"Do her parents, you think…" Miroku said not knowing how to finish the sentence.

"Her parents died, she lives with her mother's friend, but I'm telling you Miroku something's not right here."

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.

The sun began to go down and Kagome was rushing to finish the house, it looked perfect but she knew he would find something. The sun was setting too fast, her stomach flipped and he opened his bedroom door. "Kagome! This house better be spotless!" He came down stairs and looked around. "You call this clean?!" He said glaring at her. "I'll have to punish you good this time!" She began to shake "Stand up." She slowly rose her knees wobbling. He threw a beer bottle at her and it smash on the wall behind her "I SAID STAND DAMNIT!" She quickly stood up and he walked over to her. "You're gonna pay for making me waste my beer!" He grabbed her by the neck and hit her against the wall. She shook with fear and began to cry, he leaned in and began to lick her cheek, "You're tears taste wonderful" He said, putting his hand on her chest. His fingers wrapped around her shirt and he began to tug it off. Kagome put her hand over her chest when he pulled off her top, this enraged him further. SLAP! He hit her hard across the face and she dropped her hands he yanked off her skirt and under garments.

"Please no…." she whispered

"What was that Kagome, I didn't hear you…" He laughed, "no one can!" He pulled her to the floor and forced himself on her.
