OK so i wanted to try something different with my writing. This was REALLY hard for me to do. I already have the whole story written out but I am going to be updating every weekend because it takes me a while to type up the chapters...Very short attention span~ Sooo I hope you enjoy. Please leave reviews telling me what you think or if I could fix something!! Thanks!

I woke up to a shudder running through my body and a loud scream, but quickly realizing the scream was coming from myself I slapped a hand over my mouth as fast as I could. Looking toward my door I watched it for a moment, knowing that if father had heard me then he would only ‘punish’ me more. I closed my eyes and whimpered at the thought. Looking toward the window I saw that the neighbor’s light was on. I sat up and stared out the window at the light.

 Noticing that there was only one light on made me wonder. So I glanced at the digital clock on my nightstand, the bright green letters read 2:30 a.m. Who’s up at 2:30 in the morning? Looking back out my window I saw two figures in the window now, illuminated by the light.

 Although I couldn’t make them out clearly, I could see that one was a man and one was a woman. It looked like they were fighting, and that made itself clear when the figure of the man pushed the woman’s figure down. I gasped and the ‘man’ turned toward me. Could he see me? The light went out and I laid back down and closed my eyes. I couldn’t look at the ceiling. The pictures there brought back too many memories. I thought about the man and the woman for the rest of the night. Well, at least until I fell asleep that is.

 I dreamt about my late mother and little brother that night. In my dream they were still alive. Mother was laughing on the swings, and Souta was smiling with me. We has always loved when mother was happy. When she was happy, we were too. But then I was snapped harshly back into reality by the sound of father yelling my name.

 “Kagome! Get your ass down here now!” I could tell he was yelling from the bottom of the staircase. I didn’t know what I could’ve done. Did he hear me scream last night?

 I slowly got up and stretched before walking downstairs. When I reached the bottom of the stairs Buyo, my cat, was hissing at the man standing in the doorway while father was talking to him.

 “Kagome, this man says he wants to talk to you.” Father said suspiciously. He gave me a dirty look as if to say ‘Don’t do anything with anyone else.’ No, I would never do that…I know father wanted me all to himself. The selfish bastard.

 “Hi Kagome, I’m Jordan. My wife and I just wanted to straighten things out.” Jordan said. He had to be the one I saw last night.

 “What? Straighten what out?” Father said from behind me and I stiffened, knowing that I was going to get hurt again tonight.

 “Nothing big, my wife and I had a misunderstanding last night. I just wanted to come over to make sure your daughter didn’t get the wrong impression.” Jordan said. I looked over my shoulder and saw father’s face go from mad to please, as it always did before I got a beating. I flinched as if I had just been slapped.

 “Kagome, you know what happens when you’re bad. Now, I thank you Jordan for checking in on my daughter and I apologize for her looking in your home. Kagome and I are going to figure out her punishment.” Father said to Jordan. Looking at me he gave me a look that promised hurt before turning his gaze back to Jordan. “ Again, I am sorry. Kagome has not been behaving these past few months. I honestly don’t know what her problem is.”

 “Oh it’s quite alright. It happens. Hormones is all, she’ll probably grow out of it.” He looked at me before giving me a small smile and winking. “ I should get going. My wife and I are looking into houses. Don’t want to be late.”

 Then he took off and I was alone with my sadistic father again. As soon as the door was shut father made his way toward me. At first, he just stood in front of me and smiled, a mischievous grin. Then he slammed his lips against mine. I screamed and pushed him off. He scowled at me and slapped me hard enough to knock me to the ground.

 “Leave me the hell alone!” I flipped myself on my stomach and tried to crawl away from him but he quickly grabbed my ankle and yanked me back toward him. I kicked at him and screamed, but it did no good.

 “Kagome, you need me and I need you… so if you don’t stop then I will just have to shoot you.” I looked up and saw that he was pointing a pistol at me. I stopped kicking and he smiled.

 “That’s a good girl. Now quit moving around.” I glared at him and he let go of my ankle. He put both of his hands on the gun and I saw his thumb move. Getting nervous I looked off to my side and sighed.

 “Ok, I’ll stop.” I said quietly. Slowly I picked myself up off the ground and watched as the gun followed me. He gestured for me to go upstairs. But, getting my stubborn self back, I stood my ground and didn’t budge. He walked over to me with a thunderous look on his face and I glared at him. One of his hands slipped from the gun and slapped me, hard, across the face. I fell to my knees on the ground and whimpered.

 He dropped down in front of me and pushed me backwards. I fell back and my head cracked against the floor so hard I could swear I was seeing stars. I felt him crawl on top of me and he when I could see his face he punched me.

 Blinking my eyes I tried to regain some sense of awareness, but it wasn’t working. I felt father get off of me and leave and I shook my head. Hearing his footsteps come back into the room I went completely still. He pulled my arms above my head and taped my wrists together tightly. The feeling of floating was not a good one when you are barely aware of your surroundings. Seeing the steps and knowing that we were heading towards his bedroom, I panicked.

 “Your alright Kagome. I love you.” Father said. I growled and, finally getting my vision straight, tried to struggle out of his hold.

 “You’re a bastard Naraku! I will never love you!” He wasn’t listening. He carried into his bedroom and laid me on his bed. Feeling something cold against my cheek I looked and saw the pistol laying there. Twisting my gaze back to father I glared at him. He simply smiled a perverted smile and rubbed my right thigh. I closed my eyes and tried not to fight back. I didn’t want to die. Not yet.

 Hearing clothing rustle I squeezed my eyes shut tighter. He was getting undressed. The sick perverted bastard. The gun moved from my cheek to my mouth then down to my chest right over my heart.

 “You scream once and I kill you. Now, tell me you love me and you need me.” He pushed the gun against my chest and I opened my eyes.

 “Never.” He brought the gun up to my forehead and glared at me. I stared back at him. My face completely void of emotion…for the moment.

 “Say it or your dead!” He pushed the gun against my head and I jumped at the loud tone of his voice.

 I growled and closed my eyes again. “I love you and I need you.” Mumbling was the best I could do at the moment.

 He threw the gun into the corner of the room and leaned over me. He grabbed my face and turned it toward him before slamming his cold lips down onto mine. I squirmed, trying to get away from him, but he out his free hand on my lower stomach and pressed down hard.

 “Kagome, just enjoy it. I know I will.” I could hear the snide tone in his voice as he climbed on top of me.  So, I let myself go. I paid no attention to the bastard kissing me and touching me in places I wish he had never even seen. He had hurt me so much. Why hadn’t I asked Jordan to save me?

 I tried to pay no attention while the man that was supposed to be my father panted and groaned above me. I cried silently in my mind. Not wanting to give him the satisfaction of seeing my tears. He didn’t finish for quiet a while but when he was finally spent he stood up off the bed, picked up the gun, hit it away, and began dressing. I knew he wasn’t going to keep me from school so at least I had some hope.

 “Kagome, maybe next time you will listen better. But for now, I am going to the store to pick something up. I’ll be back later.” As if I cared if he ever came back. He shut the door behind him and I began pulling at the restraints on my wrists. Once I got my hands free I threw the tape onto the ground and ran into my room, not caring about my nakedness at the moment. When I got into my room I went into my bathroom and turned on the shower. Immediately stepping under the hot spray of water I began scrubbing at my body, trying to get the feeling of dirtiness off of me. Knowing that it would never go away I finally let my tears fall. How did my life turn into this hell? I never asked for this.

 I turned off the shower and stepped back into my room with tears still streaming down my face. Quickly putting on my bra, panties, and pjs I crawled into my bed and tucked the covers around me before drifting off to sleep. My dream was alot like the one before but this time Mom and Souta were with Naraku, and they were all standing around something. I walked over and looked down between all of them. I gasped when I saw the cutest baby I had ever seen laying on the ground. Reaching down, I picked her up and smiled. But suddenly something in my head clicked and I almost dropped the baby out of shock. Looking down at her again I felt tears come to my eyes.

She was my baby.
