It was 3:30 in the morning, in the quite neighborhood of Deer Run. Everyone was still sound asleep, well almost everyone. Kagome was sitting at the breakfast table with her favorite mug filled to the brim with fresh, steaming hot coffee. She was slowly sipping at her coffee, while she began to write in her leather journal that she had been keeping since she was nine. Every once in a while you could her sniffle as she tried to scribble her thoughts onto the abused sheets of her journal.

Well I found out that I passed my state licensure exam, so I am officially a registered nurse here. But as they say all good things must come to an end. I went to bed almost immediately after I received the news. I hadn’t gotten much sleep since I took the damn test; that’s when my happiness came to a halt. I had the horrible, fucked up dream yet again…
“Please daddy stop.” cried a little nine year old Kagome, as her father reached back and swung his fist at her again, this time successfully connecting with his young daughter’s jaw. “NO! You have to learn your lesson, you little, good for nothing brat!” Her father’s deep voice boomed as he started to take off his belt. “Please tell me what I did, daddy I don’t know what I did, please tell me,” Kagome pleaded between sobs. “WHAT DID YOU DO?! What haven’t you done?” her father ask as though it should be obvious. Then her father swung the belt swiftly through the air landing it on his target, her back. While he continued his assault on her back she curled into a ball with her forearms shielding her already bruised face from further punishment. Then her father explained the reason she was getting the beating. “You want to know what you’ve done to deserve this? Huh bitch do you?” Her father questioned again while he swiftly kicked her in the ribs. “Y-Yes.” Kagome managed to choke out. “ You’ve ruined my fucking life! You and that whore you call a mother, have ruined my life.” he screamed as he pulled Kagome up by her hair. While she was trying to pry his hand from her hair he hit her face with the belt. “Bu-But daddy, I don’t understand.” Kagome cried. “ Your mother left. You’re such an idiot! Now I’m stuck with you, because your mother is a little slut and ran off with some other man.” her father yelled as he continued to beat her. He beat her until she was covered in bruises and welts from head to toe. “ Get up and take a shower, you ungrateful brat.” he father said as he sat on the couch and cracked open a cold beer. “Ye-yes sir.” Kagome slurred as she obediently got up from the floor and began to wlk to the bathroom…
This was the first beating Kagome received from her father, and it was the least severe. Her father continued to beat her for the remaining eight years that she was under her father’s care. Her beatings all ended in the same way a shower and a warning. The same warning that kept her from telling on him all of those years, and the same warning that continues to wake her up at night. “... Don’t you dare tell a soul Kagome, or I swear I’ll kill you.”
I just don’t understand why I’m still haunted by these dreams. I’m 24 years old, and it has been seven long since I’ve seen my father’s wicked face, but I still can’t seem to escape the horrible memories of my father. Maybe someday my dreams of him will cease to exist. I hate being tormented in my dreams. Maybe someday both of their faces will disappear and I can sleep a dreamless sleep. - Kagome
Kagome wiped her eyes and closed her journal, and with a sigh got up from the kitchen table and walked over to the counter to sit her mug into the sink. She grabbed her journal and walked down the short hallway to her room, and placed her journal under her mattress. Kagome then wandered to her closet and snatched a pair of cream colored clam diggers and a white three quarter sleeved shirt, and laid them on her bed along with her panties and bra. She shortly left her room and headed for the bathroom. As she entered the bathroom she stopped to look in the mirror and frowned slightly as she saw her haggard appearance. Kagome yawned and turned on the shower, before stripping out of her clothes that she had neglected to change out of the night before. She tested the water before stepping into the welcoming shower. After about ten minutes Kagome was finished, and she stepped out of the shower and toweled herself off. She sighed again for what seemed like the hundredth time that morning, and walked down the hall again to her room. She got dressed and fixed her hair, and walked into the living room and flopped down onto the couch. After an hour of watching T.V. Kagome glanced at the clock hanging above the T.V. and noticed that it was only 8:15. Kagome groaned and decided to walk down to the diner six blocks away.
On Kagome’s way to the diner she stopped and got a newspaper from the vending machine. “ I can look for a new job , now that I have my nursing license, “ she muttered to herself. After a few more minutes of walking she arrived at Keade’s All Night Diner. As she stepped into the diner a cheery bell rang to alert the diner staff that they had a customer. Kagome was instantly greeted with the kind voice of an elderly woman. “ Hello child, welcome to my diner, I’m Keade.” she greeted with a soft smile. “ Hello, I’m Kagome.” Kagome answered as she smiled back. ‘This place is so cute’ Kagome thought as she was seated at the marbled top bar. She glanced around the diner and smiled. This place was so nice, it was done in red and white the bar stools where cherry red with stainless steel trim. The booth seats as well as the chairs were the same cherry red. The table tops were all adorned with a red and white checkered vinyl table cloth. The floors were just plain white tile, but all around the diner were charming 50’s memorabilia. ‘ I love this place’ Kagome thought before her thoughts were interrupted by another lady. “ Hi I’m Ayame, and I’ll be taking your order so when ever you’re ready just let me know,” she said while handing her a menu. “ Thank you,” Kagome replied. Kagome decided on the Tuesday early bird special which consisted of two eggs, three strips of bacon, two slices of toast, and a glass of orange juice. While Kagome was waiting on her meal she skimmed through the job listings, one caught her eye it read : Come join our team at Shikon General Hospital. We provide great benefits and flexible hours. We are looking for RN’s, LPN’s, and CNA’s. To apply for a position please stop by our hospital’s personnel department located at 1101 Feudal Drive in Cloverdale. Please be prepared and have a resume with you. If you have any questions please feel free to call at 555-0213 ext. 321 ask for Sango.
Kagome ate her breakfast and paid. She then dashed home to prepare her resume. After an hour she was finished and started out to her car.
