InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Bitter Sweet Tragedy ❯ Fighting Spirit ( Chapter 5 )

His body suddenly went limp, as laid on the concrete floor. Blood slowly began to seep from the corner of his mouth as the massive women could only laugh. Blood smeared on her fingertips and thought it was funny to watch him suffer in pain and agonany. “ This is what you get for being disobedient you good for nothing asshole. I took you in, I shelter you, gave you food in order to make you stay alive?! And for what??! To have an asshole like you telling me how things should be ran around here!! You ungrateful bastard!” Kagome remained curled in the corner, her legs laying aside as tears refused to stop glistening from her eyes. She felt helpless, she was afraid to step in and get involved in the same way he was. She knew he had guts to tell what was on his mind but it seemed the price you'd pay if you lived at the dysfunctional orphanage. Then again, she would be wasting her time for an arrogant ass, when she could be saving herself from this hellhole, he called “ Home”

 

Still he remained lifeless like a dead carcass ready for a predator to fed on his flesh, and his bones. “ Don't think because your injured I'm not going to be beat the shit out of you. You disrespecting son of a bitch!!” Her foot launched into the air hearing the grueling sound of him moaning that made her stomach twist, and turn to the point she was really sick. She could now see that she was truly living on her own in the most horrible way, nobody would believe. Her family, suddenly wiped on the face of the earth. Herself, banished to hell. She truly missed her young brother who always teased her. She missed her mother listening to her problems and caring for her all the time. Her grandfather telling stories from his era, it just wasn't the same. She couldn't run for help anymore, she had to fight on her own, no matter how bad everything was. But when it seemed to her she was, but she wasn't fully alone. There was him, even though she didn't see it.

 

“ I rather die on the street than be here!” She clearly could see herself always running late for school. Her friends gossiping about her life and romantic life. Her mother cooking dinner, giving advice to bring Kagome to her feet again. Her brother keeping her busy, and her grandfather as well. She felt happiness and pain, as she stared into nothing and began to realize..This wasn't a dream it never will be. She shook her head, when she could faintly hear a whisper of his voice calling to her, “ Kagome…” He quietly whispered. As his fingers tried to grasp the concrete floor in order to escape the brutal pain and torment he endured. The women's smile could break anyone into tears, she was gonna beat him until he was dead. Her heavy black boots, laid on his skull crushing into the ground as excess blood, painted the floor red. “ Hush little baby don't say a word!” She cruelly whispered, as her foot dug his skull harder into the thick ground. Kagome could only plug her ears each time he heard him moan. Shaken and scared, by the abusive women afraid she'd get the same fate if she stepped her foot in. “ Should I save him? He's always been a huge jerk to me, and never gave a damn about me! Why should I give a damn about him?” Kagome knew by watching he was already suffering, and he needed another chance. No matter how he acted towards her. He didn't deserve to live there and he sure as hell didn't deserve to die there either. Kagome nervously brought herself from the ground, as her hands viciously turned into fists having the guts to stand to a women who was suffering pain inside, herself.

 

Kagome flew open her arms like a bird in flight, blocking her view of the bleeding guy she truly didn't like but she knew didn't deserve this kind of treatment, nobody did. Her heavy boots laid against his skull, as a faint sign of hidden happiness came to his face when he realized Kagome was taking a big risk for him. She knew of the outcome, and she felt ready she didn't understand why though. She couldn't back down now, she already made herself apart of it with him and she wasn't gonna let the women until she abused him until death. Kagome's eyes looked at her with hate and resent, that she could beat people the death and find it so amusing. Kagome changed into someone else the guy had never seen before. A side of Kagome that just unleashed before him. He knew her as timid and concerned and caring, but that side of her faded as she became a girl who had guts and strength to stand up to someone, that made him smile with delight. “ Don't you dare lay another hand on him…” Kagome angrily told her off even though she felt nervous and her heart was pounding through her chest as though it wanted to escape. The women gave a light laugh underneath her beaten lips, as her black boots placed away from him and she decided she would be the victim, until blood splattered from her mouth.

 

The girl's deep laugh echoed through out the orphanage, as the dripping pipes broke the silence. Her eyes narrowed at hers, as the others locked behind bars glued they're eyes to the fight forming with the young girl and the women who beat them to death, and displayed and called herself they're “ Mother.” It made Kagome sick she pretended to be they're mother. She knew mothers wouldn't damn well beat they're children they cared and cherished him. Until her, she could beat these teens to death with a swat of her manly hands, and a stomp of her boots. She placed her foot away from his skull she was about to snap in half pressuring his skull until he was buried into the ground. “ Ha, you telling me girl not to lay a hand on this worthless, pathetic excuse for a human being? I'm putting him out of his misery..” She went to raise her black combat boots again, as Kagome spreaded her arms out further as she went to shove her by to beat the hell out of the guy who truly didn't deserve it.

 

“ Amusing that your sticking up for you worthless friend here…But you might have the guts so far missy, to stand up to me.. But consider yourself dead as well as he is. You can join him as well until I crush every living bone in your body for being disrespectful!!!”

 

Her arms lunged back like a arrow to a bow, smacking her face as Kagome's rolled down her cheeks effortlessly. She felt her feet give away from the ground she walked on, as her back hit roughly into the wall sliding down over the guy who was in pain and continued to bleed. Her hazel eyes were fogged, as her nose was bleeding like a fosses that continued to over flow. Her body laid limp and swollen, she couldn't even move her body she was in such much her pain. He watched her tears fall down her cheek onto his, as his rough hands slowly reached to her face with a dim smile he held underneath from the pain. Kagome's eyes awoken at that point, when she felt his unexpected touch that made her jump and her heart pound through her chest. He gently, titled her chin in towards his direction with a smile she couldn't ignore. “ Kagome..thank you…” She wasn't sure if she really heard him spoke those words, or her head was kicked in too many times thinking she was hearing things. His head lowered back to the ground, as something gave her the strength to attempt one last time to bring her down.

 

She knew if she didn't, he'd likely die in the cell and even though he didn't seem to care about his life, she could see it in his dark brown eyes that a glimpse of him wanted to. Kagome face had scars and blood as though it was painted all on her face, but it was completely real. She weakly brought herself from her knees and rose again with her feelings strong enough that she'd hopefully knock her down and this pain and torment would be so far over for the both of them. Her vision was fogged with tears, and her face was covered in blood but she didn't care anymore. She was trying to set things straight to the best of her ability, but it seemed to the women she had no fighting chance at all. “ You know your asking to get your face beaten into the ground… Once your back you..you'll be back down…”

 

Kagome feet dug into the ground further, as her fists began to shake with hate and resent that she ever brought her here to this hellhole. Kagome tightened her eyes and took a deep breath knowing this was the biggest risk she was taking and she made herself go through with it. “ You bitch, this is for hurting him…” Kagome screamed as she swung her fist towards her neck, as she smoothly grabbed Kagome's frail wrist throwing her back down as she yelped in pain and suffering. She had began to shake, as she tried to stand up again but helpless fell down like a injured animal trying to escape.

 

She held her wrist tightly that felt sprained, but her leg was broken for sure she could feel it. The way she landed was the wrong. Her leg looked twisted as she screamed in pain…helpless The women's boots stepped in front of her eyes, as she began rubbing her sore, tender leg that she caused to break and snap. Kagome felt helpless and useless, she couldn't hold her own any longer. She knew now her hands were in the fate of the women's either to die or the suffer longer. Kagome hazel eyes looked at hers as her mouth laid open wide scared and shaking with fear. Her fear began to shine through to her, that gave her the satisfaction she needed to continue. “ You're a waste of time just like him aren't you? Your nothing..You'll be dead when through with you. To think in your right mind you had a chance to fight back…Your wrong..welcome to the world that never seizes to amaze me..”

 

Her hands grabbed Kagome's silky black hair in her palms tightly, as she lifted Kagome's feet off the ground as her feet kicked about as she was lifted higher into the air, unsure of her next beating she nervously awaited. She held her by the hair like she was a Barbie doll, giving out sobs each time her hair tightened in her fist. “ Kagome..don't give up.” She told herself, to keep her in the fighting spirit but she couldn't. Her body was dead down beaten, she wasn't able to do anything but watch and await the horrors the women had in store for her. “ Now you can understand that life isn't all fun and games…” She whispered slightly in her ear, as she swung her around as she smacked into the wall again harder. Shreds of her black strands of hair laid in her palms as Kagome couldn't get up this time.

 

“ Come on Kagome don't cry…There's no use crying anymore…Your giving her the satisfaction she wants…” Kagome thought, remembering the line the guy used telling her tears weren't worth the trouble here and he was right. She was left right out in the open, for anything she decided to pull on her. To Kagome she already had a tombstone that was written, awaiting her knowing her life was over right then and there. The light burned out of top of her, as the water continued dripping all over the floor as she shook in fear knowing she couldn't take another beating. He couldn't believe she was sticking up for him, who treated her like she was useless and meant nothing for the sort. His chocolate eyes opened wide watching her in pain but how she had managed to bring herself up and fight for herself and his own life. He knew she wasn't the girl she portrayed herself to be either, that left him in shock and wonder a timid girl like her could do that.

 

Kagome's head began to duck into her knees with her hands clamped together when she felt the women's shadow hovering over her. Hear tears were solidly running, as the guy was helpless himself only to watch the girl who had the guts even the decency to stick her neck out for him, no matter what the cost. “ So have you leaned your lesson yet? I don't think you have…so I'll teach you right now!!” Kagome began to tighten her eyes and prayed a lot of things, as things rushed through her head. Her last tear dropped to the ground, as the women wound up her fist and expected to finish her once and for all.

 

 

He was ready to shed tears himself. He felt guilty enough he treated her so badly, but yet she decided to stand up for him and herself hoping she could change things, but it didn't go that well. He was amazed, he wished he could pull himself to save her but not with the condition he was in. Blood painted his face, and pain severed through his body that made him moan as loud as he did. “ She's sticking up..for me? After what I did to her…” He thought, as she let out one last scream as then….

 

She thought she'd feel her fist flying into her face, but instead nothing touched her face at all. She stopped praying and hear a smack of someone's hand against the flesh as it opened her scared eyes to witness what was going on around her. She felt something bind around her that made her scared, until she noticed his arms were wrapped around securely around her body, so she couldn't get hurt. The unexpected touch made her heart beat faster, she couldn't believe he had enough strength with the condition and the hits he endured. Her fist instead hit his body instead of hers as he gave a smile she never saw him use in her life. Slowly he placed his fist to her face, as she flew from the cell as Kagome sighed as tears of relief flowed. His arms were still wrapped around her, as her head was buried into his chest feeling so safe with the stranger she just meet. His eyes met with hers as he gave a grin of delight, catching the remaining tears that flew down her cheek.

 

“ Your alright Kagome.. You really had some guts to stand up to her…” He told her proudly, that made her blink wondering if this was really true what was happening to her. She thought he was injured and couldn't get up if he tried, but he proved her wrong once again. She quietly nodded as he still held her in his arms for a moment and pulled away. She could see a softer side of him in the myths of everything, despite how he treated her early on. His hands held hers assuring her she was safe now and she didn't have to waste her tears any longer. He ripped apart of his shirt, as she began to blink at him. “ What are you doing??” Kagome wondered as he laid out the piece of ripped cloth from his back, pulling her injured leg in front of him so he could heal it for her. “ God damn Kagome relax. I'm wending your wounds..if that's alright..or I could have you walk on one leg if you'd like!” He said bitterly, that made Kagome laugh inside. She knew there was some good and him and he just exposed it to her whether he wanted to or not.

 

Kagome kept quiet for a moment, as he gently lifted her broken leg to his knee, ripping another piece of his shirt in his mouth and wrapping layers over her leg, unto where her skirt rested. Lastly, he grabbed a safety pin from his tore jeans holding it steadily in his mouth as he pinned it together perfectly. “ There, that should shut you up for abit.” He said bitterly and hid back in his corner as Kagome grinned with delight what he just did for her. She could see he was going back to his bitter, ignorant self that she seemed pretty much use to. But for the heat of the moment, he managed to bring himself back up in order to save her from getting beaten that felt like his fault. Kagome glanced at the cast he had made from his shirt, as he stared at the dripping ceiling again. Her eyes glanced over him noticing the cuts and the blood that poured through. “ Your hurt!!”

 

Kagome cried out pointing to the cuts as his eyes tore away from the wet ceiling and back to his leg. “ I'm not hurt you wench!! I never was!!” Kagome rose an eyebrow to his comment, fixing her tangled hair from when the women ripped it almost from her head. “ What do you mean you weren't?!” He began to snicker amusing himself with his trusted penny that flew into the air. “ I never was Kagome..I wanted to see you be tough for once!!”

 

He lied straight through his teeth. He didn't want to seem like he cared for her at all, that's how he was. He didn't want her to know some much about him and he didn't feel like he needed help from others accept himself. He hid his real feelings underneath and she almost believed there was good in him, but for that comment it faded. “ What!? You wanted me to stick my neck out for no reason!!” He began to laugh at how amusing her anger to be to him. Underneath, he didn't mind her and he didn't hate after what she had done. He knew she had some guts, and he was glad he helped her and that was his odd way of sayin, Thanks.
