A Different Beginning
~Chapter 13~
by: gcdv







A couple of weeks later, Meigami was in front of her apartment with five paper bags full of groceries. She was struggling, trying to fiddle around her pocket for the keys. You could hear her grunting trying to hold all five bags without dropping them, especially the one with the eggs. She was finally able to get the door open. But she wasn’t able to turn on the light, so she was tumbling and stumbling until she reached the counter and put the bags down, then she went and turned on the lights. She went back in the kitchen and started to put away the groceries. She was so happy. She had already started to fill up her apartment. She had gotten new covers for her bed. She now had a white comforter that had lime green covers over it, and it folded a bit at the top. The pillow cases were a lime green too. She had a wooden bureau that is across her bed on the opposite wall. On top of it there was a television. Next to the television she had some lip gloss and blush, beauty supplies, though she rarely used it, just for special occasions, and only lightly. She had a lime green carpet in front of the bed. The entire apartment was hard wood, save for the hallway and living room. A couple of days ago she had bought some paint for the apartment, it was just to grey and too just . . . bad.


She had gotten some soft baby blue to match her covers. Some light purple for the living room. And white paints to cover the off-white in the kitchen to match the black counters and black automatic dishwasher. The other rooms were a light orange was in the guest room and the bathroom was a white with a black sink and bath tub.


KNOCK-KNOCK There was someone at the door. She could just imagine who it was. Behind the door in the hallway was Sota.


“Hey Kagome, what’s up?” Sota asked his big sister. Meigami quickly rushed him inside and gently pushed him onto the black couch. “Sota what have I told you about calling me that?” She said a bit irrate.

“Oh sorry Meigami. I guess I just can’t help it . . . ” Sota said to his sister.

“Yes I understand, be we can’t afford anyone to even suspect what we’re up to . . . I didn’t mean to snap at you. You understand don’t you?” Meigami said with a bit of regret in her voice.

“Its okay, I understand. I really should be more careful I suppose . . . ” He said.

“Hey Sota,” Meigami said trying to change the subject. ‘The last thing I need is my only family being angry with me.’ Meigami thought. “What do you want Meigami, you know I’m visiting? But no, you probably have hard labor for me don’t you?” Sota said with his arms crossed.

“Sota, I am deeply hurt. I’m your sister, you shouldn’t mind helping me . . . ” Meigami said in a ‘genuinely’ hurt voice. She glazed her eyes over s she looked like she was about to cry. She also stuck out her lower lip and made it quiver.

“Oh cut the act! What do you want me to do?” Sota said a bit disgruntled.

“Oh come on Sota, it’s really just some ‘arts and crafts.’” Meigami said to her little brother.

“Arts and crafts my butt, now what do you want?”

“Okay fine, but here’s the deal. You going to help me paint the apartment.”

“What?!”

“You heard me . . . I’ll go and get the paint from the closet, don’t even try to leave. I’ll catch you trust me.”


This earned a grumbling sound from Sota’s general direction.


Then Meigami in the hallway in front of the closet, she heard a loud crash coming from the living room . . . ‘Sota!’ Meigami thought as she dropped the paint can, it opening and spilling all over the floor. She ran down the hall and saw something she hoped to never see again in her life. It was a demon. It was a blood red color. Its body was covered in spikes, giant fangs and ferocious eyes.


“Sota, get over here!” Meigami screamed at her terrified little brother.


He of course ran as fast as he could. Meigami was now pissed beyond belief. It was on thing to attack her, but to attack her little brother, her ten year old brother, that was a mistake. Meigami started to ‘growl,’ this of course surprised her brother, who had his eyes glued to the monster. He looked in amazement as her hair stated to lightly get whipped around in an unknown concentrated wind or force. She charged for him. Punches were thrown. Kicks were blocked. Then Meigami thought it was time to end it. Every second that that monster was there, her brother was in increasingly more danger. She pulled her hands in a cupped position at her right side. “Kame, ame, ame, a!” She screamed, from her hands a huge blast protruded and the monster was obliterated. Meigami walked over to the spot where there should have been the ashes of the demon, but there was nothing left, nothing. Sota ran to her side. “Wow! Meigami, how did you do that?!” Meigami ignored him, she needed to know the damage. She just didn’t need this right now. She was saving up for a car and she definitely did not need this! “Meigami!” Sota screamed finally being able to get his sisters attention. “Oh sorry what did you say Sota?”


“How did you do that?!” Sota asked screaming at the top of his lungs.

“Huh, oh that? That was nothing. Can you help me clean up this mess, wait never mind, there’s to much glass. Can you just go wait in my room and watch some T.V.? I’ll call you when I’m done.” Meigami said to Sota very nonchalantly. “Okay fine, but when your done you have to tell me everything, promise? No, you don’t get a choice, you have to tell me!” Sota finished almost laughingly.

“Whatever, now go before you cut yourself...” Meigami said as she started to carefully clean up the mess.

It was a couple of minutes before she finished picking everything up and properly disposing of them.

“Okay, I’m done, now get back here, we got painting to do!” She shrieked so that there was no way that he could say that he didn’t hear her.

“Man that carpets stained...” Meigami added in under her breath.

“I think that is the least of your worries.” He said trying to weasel himself out of the task.

“You know, I am getting tired of you smart mouth. Now, I’m sending you home..!”

“What!” He screamed as if there had been a great injustice.

“You’re supposed to be telling me how you did that!” He finished

“Yeah well, you brought it on yourself. Now Hut!” She said as if she was a drill sergeant. She rushed him out the door and to the bus stop. The bus arrived and she kissed hm on the forehead goodbye. “Now remember you still have to help me paint tomorrow, got it?” She said in a stern voice.

“Yeah whatever,” as the last thing Sota said before the doors closed and he took a seat.


The bus stopped in front of the shrine. He started his Trek up the stairs and started to think as the sky started darkening. ‘I can’t stand them. Ever since they kicked Kagome out, they have been so bitter. I’m not going to be able to put up with them for much longer.’ Sota thought, he was now at the front door. He went in and saw his mother looking at him coldly. “Just where were you! You better not ave been where I think you were!” Mrs. Higurashi said to her, technically, only child. “Well I was! What are you going to do about it?!” He screamed, but this only made her even angrier. “How dare you!”


From the outside of the house, you could hear screams of pain mixed with a distinct sound of laughter, yelling and what sounded like a piece of would being smacked... Back with Meigami, she was at home with a pad of paper, trying to assess the damage. ‘So there’s two 4x4 patches of carpet that need to be replaced. Then there’s the sliding glass door and the balcony railing. God! That’s a lot of money, and I had finally enough for a car. This is just wrong!’ She finished her thoughts. Maybe I can get a loan...


Sota arrived promptly the next day and helped her paint the whole apartment. Except for the living room because of the paint that had spilled.


A second, a minutes, a hour, a day, a week, a month. Sota had arrived in a fully furnished and fully painted apartment. Meigami noticed that he was limping.


“Sota, are you hurt?” She asked, and to her, he answered a bit to quickly.

“No, why would you say that?”

Meigami shrugged it off and got some ice cream in bowl for him. But while she was serving it, she slipped in a sleeping herb that was tasteless, odorless, and safe. He devoured the ice cream and was out like a light. Meigami set him down on the couch. She lifted up his shirt and saw bruises. Huge ones place on him. She could tell which ones were old they were yellow. She saw some new ones by his ribs. She knew that they were new because they were red. And the rest were about four o five days old, those were purple/magenta. She gasped. ‘Oh my God! Sota what happened!’ Then she lifted his shorts slightly and could already begin to see a huge red one almost the size of her foot. She didn’t need to see anymore.


About half an hour he woke up. Meigami was a sitting in the La-Z-Boy that was diagonally of the couch.

“Sota, what happened to you? Don’t even try to lie, I already saw the bruises so don’t even think about it.” Meigami said very seriously.


“You saw? Well it’s mom, she crazy I’m telling!” Sota said as he broke down. Meigami sat on the couch and couch and put his head on her lap and she started to tub his head softly trying to calm him down.

“Sota, is it because of me?”

“Yes, but I don’t care...”

“Sota, how would you like to live here?”

“I would love it!” He said as he looked at her with hopeful eyes.

“Well, you can tell child protective services and they’ll take you away and then I can adopt you..”

“Yeah, but won’t that seem weird? Technically you’re a stranger...”

“No, I’m a legal 18 year old who is interested in children...”

“Ohhh, right of course.”


Then they started laughing. “How about you stay here tonight, you can sleep in the guest room and I can take you to school before I head off to work. I’ll call Mrs. Higurashi and tell her you fell asleep. Then, when you get home, all you have to do is wait for me after school at home. I’ll give you my keys since you get home before I do. Then I’ll walk you home so she can’t hurt you.


“Woo-Hoo!” He said playfully.

“Okay, now excuse me while I go make a phone call.” Meigami said as she got up and walked to the kitchen and got the wireless.

In the kitchen, Meigami called her mo- Mrs. Higurashi.


“Hello, who is this?” Mrs. Higurashi said over the phone not recognizing the number on the caller ID.

“Mrs. Higurashi. This Meigami-” She started but was interrupted.

“What do you want?! And where is my son?! I know he’s with you!”

“I am trying to tell you, don’t yell at me because you definitely don’t know me like that!”

“You little-”

“Like I was saying,” she said as she interrupted the woman on the other end of the phone. “Sota is here, he fell asleep on the couch. I’m not going to wake him up so I’m just going to put him in the guest room or something. Tomorrow I’m taking to him school in the morning so don’t even worry about that. I’m giving him a key to the apartment so you don’t need to worry. That’s all I had to say and that’s why I called.”

“You little, you probably forced him to stay with you didn’t you?! I should report you to the authorities, but being the very kind person that I am, I’m not.”

“Yeah, yeah, whatever bitch.” And Meigami hung up and walked back to the living room where her little brother was.

“Okay Sota, its all set. Here, let me get you to the guest room. The bathroom is right next it just so you know.” She said as she walked to the guest room. Hey went in and it showed a bed that had blue sheets with blue sheets and a matching comforter. “Thanks Meigami, your he best.” Sota said and jumped into the bed. “Hey Sota, you better get some sleep, wake up is around 5:50-6:10, okay?” She asked so that her brother knew by what time he had to get up in the morning.

“What do you want for dinner? How about some burgers? There’s a fast food joint down the street. I can walk over and get some.” Meigami said.

“Sure.”

“So what do you want?”

“I want to burgers a soda and some fries.”

“No desert?”

“I can have desert?! I want a pie, uhhh, apple!”

“Got it, I’ll be right back, lock the door behind me, bye” Meigami finished as she exited the apartment and went to get the food. By this the time she left it was dark and she didn’t really like the fact that she was the only one on the sidewalk that particular night. As she was walking down the sidewalk on the empty, she started to get a bad feeling. Something just didn’t seem right. ‘I feel like I’m in the worlds cheesiest cliche.’ She though as she saw the burger joint down the street.


As she entered the food establishment, she felt the cool air conditioning hit her and bring a cool feeling to her like a blanket. She looked around and saw but one person, and they were behind the cash register. She ordered her food and paid the man, she moved to the end of the counter awaiting for her food to arrive. About five minutes passed before she got her food. It was in a white paper bag with the ‘restaurants’ logo in red. As she walked back out to the sidewalk she started to get that cliche feeling again. ‘A girl by herself on a dark empty sidewalk in the city... what will happen next? Coming to theaters everywhere on the 28th, find out the horror of cheesy feelings. Ughh, so cheesy.’ Meigami thought in the movie preview/announcement’s voice. But of course she couldn’t have a normal day for once in her life. No, some things had to come along and ruin her so far, terrible, night. Some thugs had stepped out of the ally that she had just passed, she turned around to see what it was that had made a stomping noise.


“Hey thee pretty girly, where you ‘goin’” One of th thugs said to her, while indecently eyeing her. Meigami could tell though that he was drunk by the way his words were slurred together; and the fact that he was having a hard time keeping his balance.

“Where I’m going does not have any interest for you.” And she started to walk off back to the apartment.

“Okay, you can go, but first you have to do something for me...” He said as he grabbed her arm.

“Oh really? And what would that be?” Meigami asked in a very annoyed voice.

“This,” he said and kissed her full on the mouth and grabbed her arms. He was pushing her into the ally as she was trying to struggle away, but just buying her time till they were in the ally so no one would see her. They were barley I the ally before he started to out his hand under and up her shirt. But now they were in, and there was some hell to pay... Needless to say that she was pissed, this guy was trying to rape her, and have his little buddy’s watch. All of the sudden she stopped struggling which made the guy smirk.

“What, you finally realize how much you want me?” He said drunkenly. She nodded and returned the kiss, making the guys hoot, cheering their leader on. She wrapped her arms around him sliding her hands don a little further down, a little further down, a little further down, a little further down. The thug deepening the kiss by her actions. But then, BAM! She had hit him in a very sensitive area. All of the other thugs gasped in her actions. She grabbed him hard and squeezed.

“AAAAA!” He screamed in pain.

“What’s wrong darling? Don’t you want it rough, don’t you like it rough? I’m sure that you would have been just as rough with me, and I’m sure that I would have liked it?” She said in a mocking voice, almost a naive one.

“AH! You little whor-“

“What? I didn’t hear you.” Meigami said and she started to loosen the grip, but only to quickly tighten and to twist the hand, making the man scream even more. “But honey, sweety, really, I honestly thought you liked it rough. Aren’t you a man?” She said again. The leaders friends were about to pounce her when she tightened her grip even more, making the leaders screams be heard for at least a mile, which of course made the other men back off. “Now, sweety, is that really any way to make a good impression? Pulling me into an ally with the food I got for me and my brother who’s waiting for me back where I live then have your little friends try and attack me?”

“Let GO!”

“Now you see I can’t do that, you might do something you’ll make me regret later on.”

“I prOMIse I WOOONN’t do anYTHING! Just Let ME GO!” He screamed

“Promise? I don’t want to have to hurt you.”

“YESSSSSSSSSSSS!” He screamed in extreme pain.

“Okay,” Meigami said in almost a childish voice. She let go and went to pick up the burger bag when in the corner of her eye she saw one of them approach her as if he was really going to do something, she looked sharply at him and he backed off. She smiled as if nothing had happened and said good bye to their boss who was passed out on the floor breathing very deeply and sweating.


Meigami finally arrived at her apartment and went upstairs to her door and went in. She saw Sota watching T.V. laying down on the couch. “What took you so long?” He asked her. “Oh, I ran into somebody and they didn’t want to leave me alone so I had to take care fo them. Here’s the food.” She said as she washed her hands and got two plates. She started to unwrap the burgers and putting them on the plate along with th fries and ketchup. She brought the two plates to the couch along with Sota’s apple pie and the plastic fork that it came with. “Here you go you lazy bum.” She said jokingly as she handed him his plate and sat down next to him taking the remote and started to watch a movie. Once he finished his plate he set it on the floor and started to lean on his sisters shoulder. After a couple of minutes, his full stomach had started to catch up to him and he started to doze off until finally he fell asleep. She then picked him up as if he were a baby and set him on the bed in the guest room. She kissed him on the forehead and went to bed herself.


The next morning Meigami woke up at 5:46. She used her bathroom, it turns out there was a bathroom in her room, someone had put ugly wallpaper over it and she found the door when she was removing the wallpaper off of all the walls, the kitchen, the living room, the guest room, her room, and both bathrooms now. She was ready to go, she was dressed in a Bimini Blue lace halter with some beige capris. She had decided to dress down to work, all she did in reality was sit and draw, the most that ever happened to her was getting pencil all over the side of her arm and hand. It was now around 6:15. She then went to the guest room and woke up Sota. “Hey Sota wake up,” which he did. “Last night I went downstairs and cleaned your uniform, so its not dirty or ‘notin.’” Sota thanked her and got dressed.





Back with the Chi Chi and her son, he was contemplating on wether he should really go or not. He felt as if he should, but it was her life and if she needed help she would ask wouln't she... This was so confusing to him. His mother saw him sitting on the couch thinking deeply about something. "What's wrong honey, is something wrong? I was almost sure you would go see if she is alright..." She said as she sat down next to him. "I was, but I don't know if I should, after all it is her life, if she needed help she would ask, wouldn't she?" He said with uncertainty in his voice.

"I'm not so sure, I mean, what if she can't. She may not want to burden you or anyone else, you know how that girl gets."

"Yeah, but I don't think I'm going to go, atleast not yet. I'll wait and see how things work out."

"Okay, if that's what you want." Chi Chi said a bit disappointed that she would not be getting new grandchildren any time soon and ended the conversation.
