[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

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...

He watched her getting gruesomely with his own eyes seeing tears rolling down her cheek, as the lady's manly hands slammed the door shut the door. Only the echoed sound of the door slamming could be heard, as well as her scream dieing in the distance fading away. He felt so hopeless and drained, his stomach held him back from proceeding to run to her rescue hoping he could be able to pick lock the cell door and save her from the hell she was about to endure. His hands tightly grasped the cold walls with his finger tips his head bowing towards the floor in pain and frustration.

“Kagome, I wish I could help you..but I...I can't...I've seen too many people gone through that door and never returned and I'm not letting you die off like that. You don't deserve it, and sure as hell no body else does...”

His voice drifted listening to hear continuous screams from her mouth, but nothing just dead shuttering silence. His eyes opened wide imaging what was happening behind the door, and it was thoughts he wished he never even dreamt up. He began to shutter, seeing Kagome screaming and flailing her arms and legs in the arm and the women laughing and the end result with blood smudged on her fingertips. He shutter at the thought, hoping it wasn't anything like that. To him, there was no explanation as to why, they would just disappear like that. Only, that nasty thought intoxicated his mind.

He couldn't see any logical way he could run through and save her, nothing at all. The cell door was enclosed, and he was basically injured badly enough he couldn't even turn or change the direction of how his body was laying. He slowly began to give up hope to save her, as his head laid against the bars his head feeling heavy thinking of so many ideas how to work around the problems he was in.

“Kagome...you gotta fight this on your own...But how can I even say that?! You'll disappear just like the rest I've seen. Kagome believe me, find I could find a way to get you out of this I would.. but.. it's too late now..”

Kagome's eyes were fogging because of the on going tears, and the bruises slowly began to form on her tanned looking skin, received from the beast herself. Kagome's heart was pounding through her chest when she heard the door slam behind her, and the vision of the cells all down the hallway she realized now she was all on her own without him there. She knew it was impossible for him to play the hero now, that he was locked behind bars and herself hidden by the doors. She sat there in a small tight room, that had light blue paint on the wall and a single chair she was threw upon and a single clock and a window. The women threw her down on the old wooden chair, like a wrester on a mat feeling the intense force and her weight ended up breaking that chair into pieces. Her left hand laid I juried in front of her, and her body completely limp on the floor feeling the slivers in her skin, and the broken legs digging into her mid-drift. Her loud scream escaped her lips feeling the blow against her feeling a titled floor, instead of a concrete floor underneath her. The women had her hands adjusted on her hips sneering with delight, placing her foot in mid air feeling she was in the same position he was exactly in. Her mind refreshed how orgly women had her combat boots on his skull grinding into the ground until his skull snapped. Her eyes tightened afraid this was the end for her, “No it can't!” She screamed in her mind, but no weight was upon her head digging into her or anywhere on her. The women placed her death black boots down to the ground, mocking her for cowering and flinching already when she didn't even make an attempt to hurt her..or maybe just yet.

“Your pathetic just like him. Your weak like him, you have an attitude exactly the same.. You wonder why he's been such ass and you can blame me missy all you want. I'll put you in your place exactly the same I've been doing for years. That little heroic escape was the same shit he pulled on me and he got caught just like have. But your life is going to be hell no matter what, you bitch. Your not hero, so don't try to be. Your caring for a piece of shit that's rotting in the ground... and that's exactly what your turning into...But you'll see how far you'll get until some gets through to you...”

She began cracking her manly hands hearing each and every bone crack through her fingers, to Kagome she looked ready to pound her face in and she was damn sure that's what the reason was to being dragging into the small room. She just faced the other direction grabbing her arm viciously from off the floor seeing another door and afraid what was behind it. Kagome tried holding back her tears, her fingers grasping the corner of the wall hoping she'd be free of her grip and run as fast as she could anywhere but here. Her heels began digging into the floor hoping this would be good enough until she could gather the strength and courage and run towards the freedom door and without him was her only option.

“You disrespecting bitch. I guess he has rubbed off on you but we'll see how things go and how your life is already changing in the wrong direction. You stupid bitch!”

She screamed in her ear as her hands scrapped against her slender fingers pulling back each finger indivually until she was at the end of her rope. Her strength in her fingers were fading as she felt them latch away finding herself slowly dragging to the next unknown door.

“No I'm not leaving!! Not without him!!” She cried but her tears were no use to herself or anyone. She knew he couldn't play the hero, and she was going to have to endure whatever it was, and his thoughts were her enduring death. Her eyes slowly tightened screaming her lungs out until she had finally given up, silently tears running down her cheeks.

His head flew up into the air, as though he was brought back to life when he heard her screaming the words clearly almost like she was yelling directly into his ear. His long black strands of hair flew away from his eyes and his heart began to beat strongly faster than ever before. He could just see the blood all over the floor and Kagome's body lifelessly laying there that's all he could believe but he was trying so hard not to. He thought maybe he was letting his imagination soar alittle too much and that he was over reacting. But how could he? If it was possible to be locked in a dysfunctional orphanage, than it was likely anything else could happen there behind closed doors. He felt himself panicking within himself, feeling his head turn left to right in a spilt second not knowing what he could do. He didn't want to believe he had to sit there and just hear her screams until silence made him shake with fear. He believed if there was in of something, than they're had to be a way out.

“No she can't.. there's gotta be away out there's gotta be...Damn it don't make me believe there isn't!!!!”

He yelled fighting with himself, feeling his air rushing to his lungs and almost forgetting to breathe. But he had suddenly stopped, as though his heart did. He stood completely still staring at the floor as tears were ready to fall to his cheek. Maybe he realized it was useless. He was locked behind bars and her behind doors, and he couldn't rescue her and maybe he had come to realize it. That he couldn't help her only her could save herself now.

Her eyes were still tightened together, her eyes suddenly opened to find herself in another room. She could the ogrely women grinning with delight something hidden behind her back, that made Kagome's heart crawl up her throat.

“ You know after you little attempt to hurt me didn't help your situation. Your forgetting who is runs this place. I set all the rules, and don't think your allowed to break them. Your status missy has just ranked to something lower than anything. From dead to alive.....” Her hands clutched a huge knife in her hands raising it as high as she possibility could, as Kagome found herself tied to a small bed and the sunlight reflecting against the blade. “ Now you'll understand...and don't worry he'll join you soon after I'm down cutting your status down...and you limb from limb....” Kagome tightened her eyes and let out a bloody scream when she felt the air fly past her and ready to endure to knife to her throat.

Kagome felt herself being shakening continuously, as her hands reached to her throat feeling no blood seeping or gashes that created a hole in her neck. She gathered her breath and slowly exhaled when she realized she was only have an anxiety attack and nothing more than that. She thought if she was in that state any longer, she would have likely died of a heart attack instead. Her hazel glanced around it's surroundings and noticed a rather friendly looking place that wasn't dreaded with paint peeling off the walls, or bars covering every window. Instead, it had beautiful color of a light red and a beautiful lush carpet underneath her feet. She was astonished what her own eyes had seen, another part of the orphanage some would never in they're lives see. Tons of young parents were traveling around seeing other orphans her age shaking hands and greetsing these new strangers who were interested adopting a child. She placed her hand against her heart feeling glad she was alive, but worried because she knew he was probably scared of what had happened to her. The manly women pushed Kagome forward towards the two strangers that she didn't realize was in her midst. Kagome stood very silent, listening to they're conversation and the happy faces beaming. She couldn't believe how they tricked strangers to believe the place was all happy like, and not realize the truth was behind the doors. Kagome stared aimlessly at the new strangers that laid in front of her hazel eyes hardly believing it.

“So this was the young girl Kagome we saw from her picture. She looks very much more beautiful in person than I realized.”

The blonde lady gave a delighted grin. She was a much older women who was maybe about in her mid-forties with heavy blue eye shadow as though she was still believing she was a teenager. She was dressed in tight black shirt with tie ups and a revealing skirt only teens in they're right minds would wear. Beside her was at least a young man like in his twenties. His hair was brown and was flipped in the front and not bad looking man. He was dressed in casual kick back clothes. Plain and simple. Kagome was quite shaken that this was a couple together, more than a mother and son. Kagome felt disgusted and couldn't think how people in they're rights minds could be together and be like thirty years apart. He was defiantly too young for her, and she was surpass too old for him! Kagome gave a lighten grin flattered by the compliment she had received from the blonde lady that made Kagome alittle bit happy.

“We've always wanted a young daughter ourselves but of course we couldn't. We wanted to adopt such a radiant young women who seemed happy and tried her hardest. Kagome seemed just like the type of girl we both dreamed of. She'd be perfect to be apart of the family. Wouldn't you say Mark?” The blonde women leaned towards the younger looking man who had a seductive smile beaming on his face, and nodded with delight. “Kagome you're the type of girl we've been looking for we want to be your parents.”

Kagome felt his warm hands touching her cheek looking into his ice blue eyes and the gracious smile he wore. Kagome's eyes widened and her heart felt like it was going to stop right then when she heard the last line spoken to her. She was thrilled in a way she would be with a real family and out of the hellhole, but she shook her head and thought, “ What about him?! I'll leave him behind and forget him! I don't wanna leave I want to stay with him. He'll be so worried if I just leave and he notices I haven't returned. I owe him a lot and I can't just do this to him!! I just can't!!”

Her voice began to scream in her head as the thought of him dawned on her. She didn't want to feel alone, and he had done already too much for her and she couldn't torment him. She could see that she was turning his life gradually around for the better, and knowing her out of the picture he'd be the same arrogant ass he was before. She thought it was unfair she was getting adopted already, when he had been they're practically his whole life and hadn't been with a real family forever. If anyone deserved that adoption she thought he did, not her. He had been pulled away so long he was practically forgetting the real world outside the orphanage. She felt completely guilty of this happening when she knew who deserved it more than ever.

“ My, Parents!?” Kagome yelled as though to them that was insult to her becoming her parents.

She bent down towards her with a tainted smile, her pink necklace dangled from her neck.

“ Aww you poor thing. I guess it's taken you awhile to accept the fact about your parents. We just want to be there and care for you like real parents. You don't have a problem with that? Do you hun?” Her southern accent flowed smoothly into her ears, as she blinked continuously. She wanted to be adopted so badly, but it didn't feel right to do that to him like she felt like she was going to betray him. Her hands stuck out to the side as the orge stood to the side watching and listening to everything that was between the new parents and Kagome.

“But what about...” Her voice drifted when the women bumped her warning her to shut her mouth about him, as the women was thrown off alittle from her unfinished sentence.

“What were you saying sweetie? We wanna hear what you were saying..” She softly spoke towards her that made Kagome feel so uncomfortable that these people she didn't even know we were already calling her “ sweetie” when they didn't even know who she really was inside and out. Only a true mother would know that, and she knew no matter how they tried to be they couldn't. Her hair swayed to the side in the wind, already missing her mother because of hearing the word parents and everybody else that mattered in her life.

“I refuse to leave without him! I refuse to!!”

Kagome screamed as loud as she could possibly hoping the parents would be scared off by her actions and her demands, as she glared at the ogrely women telling her she refused to leave without him by her side. She had no body else by her side as a friend except him and that's all she wanted. She couldn't even imagine the devastated look on his face when she didn't return, thinking of all these ideas of what could have happened to her but never know. She felt they're arms latch around her wrists dragging her away with tears fleeing from her eyes, knowing she'd never see him again.

“No I can't leave him!! I can't!!”
