ATTENTION: The song: "Fallen Grace" is written by me.
Kagome smiled towards everyone, she was happy. She was about to sing, for the very first time with a band in a very long time, "Whoa...We need a name." Kagome stated,
"Welcome To The Dragon's Keep." Akio stated,
"Uh...That sounds like a song." Hitomi stated,
"Deadly Sins?" Dai stated in a questioning tone,
"Hmmm...What about Darkness Falls?" Hitomi asked,
"I guess we will come up with a new name...Eventually." Kagome stated, she took in a deep breath, as the song began to come to light, with a soft breath, Kagome began to sing,
In the darkest hours of the night
I grip onto what was used to be
I live in the darkness
Hoping for a new light
I tried to be the one who made you smile
Yet, in the end I was a fool
Walking every single broken mile
Why did you let you fly away into the light
I just wanted to hold you
Wanted to make you feel alive
Now, I suddenly can't breathe
Nor can I take the pain within
Fallen Grace now stains
My blood stained face
In the end of our time
I became this fucked up damsel
Begging for a hero
And when I finally could see you, I fell short
Everyone screams, and yet I am now deaf
Did you ever truly love me?
Did you ever care about the pain that lingered deep inside?
I feel so lost without you
I wish I could fly into the beautiful night sky
Yet I stay here, begging and asking why
So, I will sing this one song
Maybe you will be able to see
That I am now in the darkest matter
Fallen Grace
If you could finally see
That you and I were meant to be
That our hearts intertwine with hope but now destruction
Save me...Save me before I fall forever
I never wanted this, nor did you
Now we stand in the rain, and let the tears fall
This will be my last and final song
And I will say goodbye forever
Fallen...Fallen...Fallen...Fallen Grace
Kagome stopped, and everyone played on until the song was truly over, "How was that?" Kagome asked with an eager smile,
"That was fucking amazing!" Hizumi stated, then that is when he saw, Kagome wasn't in love with him. But in love with Meiko, "I should play matchmaker." Hizumi thought, "Well, Kagome, we should get going. We do have a long drive. Enjoy the gifts. I will see you later." Hizumi stated, then walked out of the building and left.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo OoOo
Two weeks later, Kagome ran to her sister, "Hitomi...We need to talk." Kagome dragged her sister to her bedroom,
"What the hell?" Hitomi asked, as she took a bite of her bagel, "What's going on?" Hitomi asked,
"I am so damn confused." Kagome replied, "I am like...In love with two people." Kagome mustered,
"And what the hell are you going to do?" Hitomi asked, as she took another bite of her bagel,
Kagome knocked the bagel out of Hitomi's hands, "Would you listen..." Kagome whispered,
"My bagel." Hitomi whined, "Alright. Look, Kagome, in every woman's life. They have the tough decisions. Some are wondering what they shall ever wear to the ball. And yours...Well, its picking a boy or a girl. Now I am no Einstein here. But I can't help but feel when you look at Meiko. You see someone you can actually be with. With Hizumi you see a piece of meat. And a guy you can just bang. Seriously, I understand you miss a man. There are days, I miss a man as well. After all..." Hitomi was cut off,
"A straight woman in love with a girl." Kagome rolled her eyes, "I know. You have told me." Kagome stated, "What do I do?" Kagome asked,
"Well..You keep on being that smoking hot babe, that every guy wants to bang, but you only bang one. And you do not love him. Well...Maybe you do, as a friends with benefits sort of way. But your heart...Truly goes out to Meiko. We all see it, Kagome." Hitomi smiled, as she watched her sister grab her leather jacket, "Whoa where are you going?" Hitomi asked,
"I am going to go see, Hizumi." Kagome whispered,
"Damn! Do you ever take a break?!" Hitomi asked,
"To end things. I just want to be friends with him. I want to be with Meiko." Kagome gave a sly smile. She walked to the motorcycle, and slowly slipped the helmet over her head, "Just tell the group I went out." Kagome stated, with a wink, then rode off once again. Kagome was always gone, at least that is what people were thinking. And Meiko? She was getting so jealous that sometimes her gums bled from her gritting her teeth so much.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo OoOoOo
Kagome sighed as she got of the motorcyle. She looked up to Hizumi's apartment. She then heard a noise coming from the alley. "Hello..." Kagome whispered, Kagome saw three guys emerge,
"Damn, you are hot." One of them stated,
"I don't want any trouble." Kagome stated,
The male just smiled towards his next victim, "Look, I don't want any trouble here either." He smirked, "Just give us all of your money." The male stated,
"Yeah, all we want is the wallet. And we will leave you alone. We promise." Another chimed in,
"No." Kagome stated, "I will not bow to some fuckers that are looking to get a high." Kagome realized that may had been a huge mistake. She felt a pain in her gut, as one of the males hit her hard, "You fucking bastard!" Kagome went to slug the bastard, but was immediately hit in the face by another, Kagome grabbed her face where she had been punched, she now had another shiner. And soon she was on the ground. Once punched her in the face, she now had two open cut, and she was bleeding from each,
"Kick her!" One male stated, and soon they were kicking her in the sides hard, once they got what they wanted. The male bent down and punched Kagome a couple more times in the face, busting her lips and giving her a black eye, "Hey, think of it this way, you got a free make-over." He grinned then kicked her again in the side, and ran off.
Kagome coughed up blood, as she tried to roll over to push herself upward. But she was in so much pain. "Yeah you run you bastards!" Kagome screamed as she coughed up more blood, Kagome managed to get to her feet, to only collapse to one knee, "Fu..Fuck." She murmured as she felt nothing but pain. She managed to use the wall as leverage, and she walked out of the alley, an elderly woman saw Kagome,
"Oh my god." She dropped her groceries and ran to Kagome, "Sit down." She helped the younger female to the ground, and she immediately called 911, "We need an ambulance at the Cedar Restaurant. There a girl that has been beat pretty bad." She stated, and heard the lady tell her that she has dispatched an ambulance and they would be there shortly, "No no, don't fall asleep." She was now shaking Kagome, trying to keep her awake, "Come on, kid. Stay awake." She whispered, she felt Kagome lean up against her, "You got this." The female stated,
"Thank you..." Kagome mustered, as she spat up more blood, "Oh...I am so sorry." Kagome felt so much pain, that she didn't mean to cough up blood on the female, or she thought she had,
"Deary, you missed me." She smiled, she saw the EMTs, rush to Kagome, "Get some rest. And you better make it. I lost my groceries." She teased Kagome, "Is she going to be okay?" The woman asked one of the EMTs, she heard a reassuring yes.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
The group heard a knock at the door, Miki went and answered the door, "Yes?" She asked,
"Is there a Chiasa here?" He asked,
Miki thought for a moment remembering that they were using code names now, "Yes. Let me go and get her. Come in." Miki whispered, she went and got Hitomi, "There is a man at the door for you. He looks like a little distraught." Miki whispered,
Hitomi walked to the male, "Yes?"
"I don't know how to put this...But Naoki is in the hospital, and she is in a pretty bad shape. She was beat up, pretty bad." The male stated, "I need to take you down there now." He watched Hitomi nod her head, and grabbed her purse,
"Hang on." Hitomi stated, as she walked into the living room, "I gotta go and pick up Kagome. She went on a drinking binge, and she is too drunk to ride on home on her motorcycle. So, no one go into the barn. I am dead fucking serious. NO ONE goes inside of there." Hitomi stated then walked away, and walked out with the male.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Once at the hospital, Hitomi was greeted by the doctor, "How is she?" Hitomi asked,
"Ah you must be Chiasa. Well, your sister was beat pretty bad. But she is okay. She did well. She protected herself, so she has a few bruised ribs. Her face her busted up, she has a black eye and busted lips. We had to give her stitches on her face, due to the face of how bad the men beat her. But she will make a full recovery. She can go home in a couple hours." The male stated, "Just watch over her. And give her these every six hours. They will subside the pain. She will be hurting pretty bad for next few weeks, until her ribs heal. I am sorry to have you come down here in the rain. But we needed to notify her next to kin. And seeing you are the only name on the list, we had to..." He was cut off,
"Its fine, I want to see her." Hitomi stated, she went into the room and watched over her sister. After a couple hours, Kagome was released, "Sis...Are you sure? You shouldn't be going to see Hizumi after all of this. Nor shou..." Hitomi was cut off,
"I need too. I still need to tell him, I will be choosing Meiko." Kagome stated, with a grunt of pain, as she walked to her motorcycle, "Follow me, if you like." Kagome stated, as she revved the motorcycle and took off, "Don't think about the pain. Don't think about the pain." Kagome thought, as she rode over to Hizumi's place. Once there, she left the motorcycle once again in front of the alley where she got her ass kicked.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Kagome was let in by Hizumi, she saw the concern appear in his eyes,
"Holy shit! What happened?!" Hizumi asked, as she watched her walk to his sofa, "Kagome..." Hizumi whispered,
"I got my ass kicked a few hours back. I am fine now. I am going to go home, here shortly. But I needed to clarify some things with you. The past few weeks have been amazing. You helping me out with my singing, and the sex..." Kagome chuckled, "Really good. However, Hizumi, I am not in love with you. I do love you, but it as a friendship level. I thought I was in love with you. But...I am not. I am in love with Meiko." Kagome stated, she slowly stood, and gasped in pain,
"That is fine. I am glad that you told me." Hizumi helped Kagome up, "Please let me drive you home." He stated,
"No...I am fine. I need to think anyway. My sister will be driving behind me. So, don't worry. I will see you again when we have band practice." Kagome whispered, as she walked out of his apartment, and back to her motorcycle. She slowly straddled the bike and rode on home with her sister driving behind her.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
"Okay, I am bored!" Kaito whined, "I want to really know what is in the barn. I am sick of it. I have imagining what is in there for so long! I must know!" Kaito sighed, he stood, "Who wants to go with me?" Kaito asked,
"I will go." Len stated, "I want to get to know Kagome more. So, what is a better way, then looking into the barn!" Len stated,
"I guess I will go." Meiko added,
"Keep me out of it. I rather stay here with my girl." Luka stated, then heard a giggle,
"And I will stay here with Luka!" Miku smiled as she kissed Luka ever so softly, "I love you."
Luka smiled and returned the kiss, "I love you too." Luka walked hand in hand with Miku to the living room to watch a movie,
"I agree with Luka and Miku, I am going to stay here." Gumi stated and walked out with Miki
"Have fun. I am going to watch a move with them." Rin whispered, then watched the three leave.
Kaito, Len and Meiko entered the barn. Their eyes widened, they saw everything. The guitars, the violins. Everything, they even saw newspaper clippings of her and the band. They even saw newspaper clippings of when she lost her biological parents, then her foster parents. Kaito was just shocked at what he was seeing, "Damn...This girl has a past." Kaito stated, when he backed up, he ran into Kagome's first guitar, and managed to break the top, "Oh shit!" Kaito tried to get the guitar back up then he ran into her first violin. "Fuck..." Kaito mustered,
Once home, both Kagome and Hitomi saw the lights in the barn on, "Did you leave the lights on, Hitomi?" Kagome asked, she watched shake her head no, Kagome immediately dropped the helmet, making the visor shatter. And they both ran to the barn, "No..." Kagome thought, as she collapsed to her knees. The newspaper clippings had been messed with. Her hues scanned the room. And she just saw everything completely destroyed. Her heart was broken, beyond repair. She slowly stood to walk to her guitar, "No." Kagome released as a whisper, as she began to cry, there were fond memories with the guitar. Then her hues caught her violin, "Come on...No..." Kagome grabbed her violin. Her heart was no longer there. She was so disappointed with the three, more so with Meiko than anyone else. She couldn't believe that carnage of the barn now. Kagome slowly stood, and walked to the news clippings and began to pick up, and soon she heard her sister screaming,
"GET THE FUCK OUT! NOW! I fucking told you not to go in here!" Hitomi didn't care she grabbed Meiko by the hair, "You are a fucking disgrace!" Hitomi spat out, and dragged her to the house. She had Len by the ear, once in the house. She went off, and when people piss off Hitomi, hope to God that she doesn't have a gun.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo OoOoOo
After a few hours of being in the barn by herself, she walked to the house, tears had made her feel even more weak. Here she was this badass, and she was the one crying over her past.
"I can't fucking believe you all! I FUCKING TOLD YOU NOT TO GO INTO THAT DAMN BARN! It was for Kagome! And Kagome alone!" Hitomi was just getting started, "I am actually glad that five of you, fucking listened. Everything in that room, means a lot to Kagome. Some are bad, and some are good. But..." Hitomi sighed, "Who broke the guitar and violin?" Hitomi asked, and saw Kaito raise his hand, immediately Hitomi walked to him and slapped him hard, "Do you even know why she cares about them the most?!" Hitomi asked in an angered tone, Kaito shook his head and rubbed his cheek, "The guitar was given to her by our foster parents, before they were killed at gun point. And the violin was given to her by our aunt, before she was killed in a car accident. You have no clue what you have fucking done. I used to believe that I could trust you all. And especially you, Meiko, you claimed to love Kagome. Then you turn around and pull this shit!" Hitomi went to slap her, but her wrist was grabbed by Kagome. Everyone saw the bruises on her face, and the cuts that needed stitches,
"Don't." Kagome stated, "I am going to bed." Kagome whispered,
"No...You are so selfish! And here I thought you were strong. You are so weak, Kagome. Where is the badass? Huh...You weak bitch." Meiko stated, and soon Meiko felt pain wrap around her wrist, "Kagome...Let go. You are hurting me!" Meiko was now pleading with Kagome, she felt her wrist go into even more pain as Kagome's grip began to tighten,
"No, you want to see me as a selfish bitch. Then do follow!" Kagome dragged Meiko out of the house, and literally threw her in the barn, slamming the doors behind them. "GO AHEAD LOOK!" Kagome screamed, "LOOK AT THE FUCKING SHIT I WENT THROUGH!" Kagome now shoved Meiko's face into the newspaper clippings, "You see this one?! This states the night my fucking aunt died. This one tells the fucking city my biological parents were killed in a car accident. Though my father fucked me, and my sister. I fucking forgave him! And though my mother beat me and my sister, I still forgave her too! I cried at the damn funeral!" Kagome grabbed Meiko's wrist hard, and dragged her to another news clipping, "And that is the day my sister and I lost the best parents. Ever." Kagome now dragged her, and threw her next to the guitar, "AND THIS FUCKING GUITAR IS ALL I HAVE LEFT OF THEM!" Kagome was now screaming in Meiko's face, as she watched her become frightened, "And that violin is all I have left of my aunt...You fucked me over so bad." Kagome stated, as she grabbed Meiko and helped her up, "Go. And while your at it, go fuck yourself." Kagome turned away from Meiko, and looked at the guitar and violin, "Can I even get these fixed?" Kagome asked herself softly,
"I am not leaving." Meiko whispered, "I am so sorry, Kagome...I didn't know." Meiko had tears running down her face, soon she felt a sharp pain against her cheek, Meiko grabbed the spot where Kagome just slapped her,
"You were the one I trusted the most out of your group. Now I have no trust for you at all. You don't get it, do you?" Kagome asked, as she sighed, "If you had a place like this, I would ask questions, and hope that the person would open up. If they didn't I would leave it at that. But you. You went into the place that meant the most to me. I got to look at my accomplishments, and what has happened to push me to go further. But you...Of all people...Just broke my trust, and now...I don't want to even see you, anymore." Kagome sighed then walked out of the barn, then she stopped when she heard Meiko began to speak, now of course the rain was coming down hard,
"I am so sorry." Meiko mustered, "I didn't mean to go in there...I just wanted to get to know you more...I didn't mean to invade your space." Meiko went on, "Please...Kagome, I am so sorry. I will try to figure out how to fix the guitar and violin." Meiko stated, as she was now watching Kagome walk towards her, "Please...Forgive me." Meiko saw Kagome right in front of her, "Just hit me...I de..." Meiko was cut off as she felt Kagome's arms wrap around her tightly, Meiko wanted to cling to Kagome, forever, but the hug was a short lived moment, when she heard Kagome gasp in pain, "A..Are you okay?"
"Yeah...Just fucking peachy." Kagome stated, as she grunted in pain, "I don't get it...Do I have a sign that says; 'I like to be shot at, and beat up! Pick me!' I don't get it. I really don't." Kagome stated, as she walked into the house with Meiko, she looked around, "It seems dear, Watson that everyone has went to bed." Kagome shrugged, "I will give Len and Kaito a chewing in the morning. Goodnight, Meiko." Kagome whispered, then gasped in pain as she felt Meiko's arms wrap around her, "Let go..." Kagome stated,
"No. Not again." Meiko stated, she felt Kagome flinch in pain, "I.."
Kagome cut her off, "Please...Do not touch me. Its not that I don't want you too. Its the fact you can't. I am seriously in a lot of pain here." Kagome now realized she is soaking wet, and she would need help taking off her clothes, "Meiko, I need you to do me a huge favor." Kagome sighed,
"What is that?" Meiko asked,
"I need your help undressing me. I can't do it alone..." Kagome mustered, then saw a huge gleam in Meiko's eyes when the lightning strike and lit up the room, "Yeah...That wasn't creepy at all." Kagome walked up the stairs with Meiko, and soon they were in Kagome's room. Kagome was helped taking off her pants, then when the shirt came off, Kagome wanted to scream in pain. Kagome lowered herself to the bed, then watched Meiko straddle her, "What in the hell are you doing?" Kagome asked, as she felt soft kisses against her ribs, Kagome smirked, "Nurse, can I have a kiss?" Kagome asked, as she felt Meiko kissed her delicately on the lips, and soon Kagome wouldn't let Meiko back away from the kiss, and soon their tongues were fighting each other, Kagome grunted in the kiss as Meiko rested her hands against the rib area, "Ow ow ow..." Kagome whispered, she watched Meiko jump off of her, she then chuckled. Kagome slowly sat up, "Ow..." Kagome grabbed Meiko's hand, "Meiko..." Kagome began, "I love you." Kagome stated, and all she heard was a gasp.
