It was him.

It suddenly dawned on her when she remembered him staring aimlessly with his saddened eyes filled with hidden tears wishing he could escape and she felt selfish enough to run away when she shared the same hurt and pain together with him. The saddened look in his eyes knowing herself he wanted to soar freely like a bird in flight, and she couldn't take all the glory and leave him behind, she just couldn't. He stuck his neck out for her and protected her that made her realize he should have a fair chance to be free, just like he once hoped for.

“ I can't go right now. I can't leave him behind, not after the way he cared about me and put his own life on the line. He's been here almost all his life, and I'm not letting him die here either. I can't..I'll feel too guilty..He's helped me, and it's only fair if I free him from the bars.”

She slowly pushed away from the door, as her eyes directed in his direction seeing him grasping his stomach and ready to shed tears. Kagome gave a lightened smile noticing the cell door wasn't lock that brought a smile to her face. His eyes met with hers and realized why the reason she wouldn't run away, and he didn't understand why some beautiful girl like her would give a damn about him who had treated her lower than dirt. Her slender hands pulled back the bars and knelt down seeing his hands grasping his stomach and knowing it would be much harder to take him with her.

“Kagome, why are you helping me? Why don't you leave!? God damn it don't be so damn stubborn just go!!”

He yelled in her ears as he could hear the groans from underneath his breath seeing how his body shook uncontrollably. His eyes winced in pain feeling like his insides were going to become his outsides. She refused to leave with out, all her thoughts was that he would gaze upon the outside surroundings and would be so happy than he ever did in his life. Kagome gave a reassuring smile and shook her head, disobeying him.

“I can't leave you here after all you've done for me. You deserve to be in the world again, more than I do. You've been here all your life, would you prefer to die happily or to die as a prisioner!?”

He began to snicker seeing how eager she wanted to free him. His chocolate eyes stared through hers and was able to laugh with the moans and groans that he felt of severe pain. “Kagome who cares about me alright!? Don't waste your god damn chance for me alright!? You knows when that bitch will come back, so you might as well seize your chance well you still have one.”

He began to said harshly, like he actually didn't care about his own life. He was afraid even if he made it back into the real world, would he change for the better or still be the same as he was in the orphanage? He was worried about his life, scared beyond the door wasn't all happiness waiting for him. Kagome slowly grabbed his hand towards her chest as she felt the coldness as her warm hands made him relax.

“Don't lie to yourself. You know you deserve this. You could be free again...” He quickly cut her off with a saddened smile wiping the angered away into nothing. He felt the tingling sensation running through his finger tips and through his entire body, feeling like he was truly cared about and the first time he felt a women's touch. His eyes glanced away from her radiant caring face, as a soft sigh came from his lips.

“Even if I do Kagome who the hell am I going to be with?”

He asked with his one hand turning into fists ready to hit something out of frustration and anger. He wouldn't dare believe this was possible, or even his dream come true. He had already lost all hope, and she was trying to give him a fighting chance to live life normally like it was suppose to be. Her hands softly rubbed his for comfort, as he softly stared at the affection and back towards her beaming face as though she knew life wouldn't be like that.

“You can be with me. We can run away and you could get enrolled into my high school and meet all my friends there. We could get an apartment somehow and live together. It's better than being alone the rest of your life is that what you truly want? You can lie to me all you want but you need somebody by your side, and that's me. You think no body cares about you, but I do and you don't deserve this. So come on it's your chance to get out of this hellhole with me.”

His eyes began to glisten with a hidden sign of happiness, but he thought he would be a waste of time to her and they'd never escape not in the condition he was in. He could hardly move himself or stand on his feet, his was too buried and no matter which way he turned he would moan and groan horribly. His head bowed down to the hard concrete floor underneath him. He had his own fears, he was afraid he was going to slow her down in the process and never proceed through the doors. His hand pulled away from hers and just looked at her dazed,

“Kagome haven't you noticed the condition I'm in??! It's going to be impossible to get each other through the door and before that bitch comes back! Don't waste your time Kagome, it isn't worth it.

He muttered towards her, continuously grasping his stomach and bending over wincing in further pain. He couldn't take this abuse anymore from her, and he couldn't take living trapped behind bars. She was going to help him, whether he wanted her to or not. She slowly bent over and grabbed his arms softly, and threw his arm over her shoulder as though it was limp. He began to complain, demanding her to let go but she refused and she was going to carry him and run as fast as she could.

“Kagome your not gonna be able to support my weight!” Kagome ignored his fiery comment towards her, and slowly was ready to gently grab his legs. His body was tender like meat, as she carefully did the best job she could to place him on her back without hurting him even more. His arms embraced her neck holding on as tight as possible, as Kagome shifted herself in the right position as he continued yelling at her as though she did something wrong.

“Kagome you won't be able to DO IT!!!”

His voice raised higher, as a huge silhouette over shadowed her own like a huge gray cloud covering the whole sky leaving her dwelling in the shadows. She could feel the cold breath upon her shoulders and traveling up her neck that brought chills severing up her spine. She quickly gulped ready to nervously confront what was behind her but in a blink of an eye, she felt cold massive hands cover her mouth throwing her neck backwards as he flew right off her back and slide injured back into the corner. The ogrely women had a satisfied grin on her face like she enjoyed other people's pain and suffering. She was a sick twisted individual, and that said a lot for the orphanage she was running for so many gruesome years. She titled Kagome's head further back until her crying eyes met with the ceiling that had the paint peeling directly off of it. Her deadly screams were smothered by her thick hands, and only a small scream could be heard from her. Her ivory eyes glared fiercely into hers Kagome fearing now what would happen to her. Kagome was damn sure she had come back to beat her for the marks she left on her, and finish the job she had left unfinished.

“Nice try missy. You knew the rules and you decided to break them. Too bad he didn't tell you how things work around here with me. You break a rule, and except me to break something of yours you bitch!” She yelled tossing Kagome back like a sac of potatoes grasping her legs tightly screaming at the top of her lungs wishing someone could save her. Her arms failed desperately staring sadly at the door, thinking maybe now he was right, she blew her final chance to escape and it was foolish of her to save him.

She missed her greatest opportunity to escape and be free, but she held herself back to try to save his very life that was slowly rotting away through out the years. Her massive hands slide back the bars leaving him behind and enclosed cell, as tears began to heavily fall to the ground like rain drops. She just stared aimlessly and hopelessly and the red rusted color door, knowing how damn close she was and how far she had made it. But she realized her mistake, was going back and believing she had enough time to run back with him by her side.

“ Help me!!!” She screamed higher until her throat got sore, and felt the women viciously hit her almost to the point she was could of drawn blood. “You learn a lot from him down you? We'll fix that you bitch.. Let's see how you can handle things without him...”

Her voice eerily whispered as Kagome hands stretched out knowing she had failed her final and maybe her last chance to escape. His eyes watched her sadly pass by the other prisoners who's mouths were open in shock, her heading in the direction of the blue tinted doors that everyone had feared. They had seen some many people get dragged down there, but not once they didn't return and they didn't want to know why. Her screams and sobs echoed through out the hall making it sound like three crying girls were getting tortured to death. Kagome knew she had failed, and she'd find herself in a world of hurt just like the women promised...
