InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Hidden Past ❯ Chapter 6 ( Chapter 6 )

Kagome ran towards the well, frantically looking over her shoulder to make sure that no one was following her, mainly her father. She replayed what had just happened in her head as she stopped to catch her breath near Goshinboku. Her father…he…he hit her. It wasn't the first time either. He had hit her before, the same day she had written her essay for English. She let it off the hook though, it was just one time. But this time, this time was different. He did more then just hit her this time. She didn't want to think about it though. She shivered again, and turned her head just in time to see her father running towards her. Mama and Souta had gone grocery shopping while Jichan was out at bingo night with one of his old college friends. She knew this because he kept saying how he was going to win the shrine lots of money, not that she really believed him. She started running again, and was grateful for the fact that she had been fighting demons for two years; otherwise she would have never been able to make it to the well while outrunning her father.

 

“Come back here you bitch!” She heard him shouting at her. It was loud enough for her to hear, but not loud enough that people would here from below the steps. Picking up her speed, she continued to run. (I know, I make it sound like its so far away!)

 

When she reached the well house, she was out of breath. She realized she had forgotten her bag, but quickly brushed that away when she heard her father coming closer. She went inside the well house and stared down the well. She never got to say bye to anyone, if she left she would need to return soon, since she didn't have any of her supplies. She couldn't tell anyone about her father though; her mother seemed to be so in love again. Souta was looking at him like a true father, only Jichan seemed to actually remember what had happened. She knew if she told on him, her mother would agree with her, but still be upset, and Souta would be extremely upset. They would be a broken family. She was snapped out of her thoughts when she heard the door start to open. Without another thought she jumped into the well just as Kori (remember, that's her dad!) walked in. He thought he saw her jump into the well. Smirking he walked up to the brim and looked down.

 

There was Kagome, looking shocked, almost like she thought jumping down an old abandoned well would save her. He smirked even more when she looked up and gasped.

 

“Hello Kagome.”

 

(I'm so evil!)

VVVV

 

“Damn it! Why isn't she back yet!” Inuyasha yelled.

 

“Calm down Inuyasha, Kagome said she would be gone longer then usual.” Sango said; a weak attempt to calm him down.

 

“That was then! It's been more then 5 days! If she doesn't get her ass her, then I'll go bring her back myself!”

Suddenly Miroku brought his staff down on Inuyasha's head. “You will do no such thing. Do you not remember the state that Lady Kagome was in before she left? I think she needs to spend more time with her family. At least there she can try and be happy and be what she calls a normal girl.”

 

Inuyasha growled. Of course he remembered how Kagome was before she left, and he hoped he never had to see her like that again. He thought that by now Kagome would be fine, and if not then he could cheer her up, as long as he didn't screw up like he usually did. “Are you saying that she isn't happy here, monk?”

 

Miroku quickly shook his head, not wanting to anger the hanyou more. “Of course not, I meant that when Kagome is upset and leaves to her time, she usually returns happier.”

 

The rest of the group pondered this and agreed with Miroku. They decided it wasn't a big deal, Kagome probably just missed her dad. She was the only one in their group that still had one. Sango sighed as she dished out dinner for everyone. They needed their strength, something told her the next day would be troublesome. Maybe it was woman's intuition?

 

Ok, its still short, but on word it takes up a page and a half. Im really tired now and have a high school exam coming up, so my next update will take a while, now that I need to actually study. I will definitely have an update on December 2, and I will try my best to update before then. So why cant kagome get through the well? The horror! Youll find out next chapter though, whenever that is. Review!
