InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Hidden Past ❯ Chapter 4 ( Chapter 4 )

“You BITCH!” Kori shouted at her.

 

Kagome winced as she fell against the wall.

 

“You thought you could keep it a secret didn't you?”

 

Another slap

 

“I'm sorry, daddy! I really am! I was just lending him a pencil!”

 

Another slap to the face. That one would definitely bruise.

 

“You liar! You were flirting with him! Don't you remember what I told you! NO friends and no boyfriend!”

 

“I remember! He isn't my boyfriend!”

 

Another slap, this time it was on her arm.

 

“Don't talk back to me!”

 

A slap.

 

Kagome welcomed the darkness.

 

Kagome shivered at the memory. That was when her father beat her, three days before he was arrested. Kagome wrapped her jacket tightly around her. She was so late, she was almost there now. Another five minutes and she'd be there. She mostly just had to climb the stairs. It should be illegal to have so many stairs! Kagome winced as she heard a familiar voice calling her name. (she's halfway up the stairs now….. lets just say that she ran very quickly…..)

 

“KAGOME!!”

 

It was her father.

 

But this time his voice sounded different. It sounded sincere, like he actually cared for Kagome. She was only 15 minutes late, she couldn't be in that much trouble though, right?

 

“Dad, is that you?” Kagome asked, slightly uncertain.

 

“Of course it is! Who did you think I was?” He replied.

 

“Oh, no one really, I guess it's just a surprise, since you were gone because of…..” Kagome trailed off. How do tell your dad that he was gone because he abused her? It was a bit awkward……..

 

Kori's face softened. “Kagome dear, you know that I'm really sorry about…..the past…. I was just upset I suppose. It'll never happen again. I promise.”

 

Kagome looked up at him. “Never again?” She whispered.

 

“Never again.”

 

“Oh! Kagome! There you are! I see you've met your father, again.” Mama shouted across the courtyard. Kagome and Kori turned around.

 

“Hey Mama! I'm sorry I was late, I ran into Eri, Yuka, and Ayumi.

 

“That's ok dear. There'll be some cake and tea inside if you want any.” Mama replied.

 

“Arigato Mama.” Kagome responded. She was about to turn and go inside when she felt a hand on her shoulder.

 

“Who are they?” Kori asked his daughter.

 

“Who? Eri, Yuka, and Ayumi? They're my friends.” Kagome said.

 

And Kagome saw it.

 

Anger flashed across her father's eyes.

 

And she knew that his abusive side would return.

 

And that she would never be able to escape it.

 

OK! I know it's still short, but I have serious writers block (just ask my friend! I keep complaining to her about it….. =D) yea, her dad is still gonna be abusive, but mama, Souta, and Jiisan won't know about it. Umm…… don't forget to review! Im SO SORRY FOR THE LONG UPDATE!!!! Its just with school and all I got so busy! Heres the thing though. Im gonna try and have an update day where I write and update a chapter for each of my fics (except for betrayed trust on MM.org……….. I sorta gave up on that one. I guess ill work on that when the others are all finished) I still need to decide on a day though. Not Monday, Sunday, Wednesday, or Thursday. So on any other day, expect and update for all my fics! Hope you liked the chapter!
