Chapter 4: Leaving

 

Kagome felt dirty. Completely tainted. She stood in the shower scrubbing at her skin. Why doesn't she feel clean? Her skin was red and raw from the entire rubbing she did.

 

She dropped the soap and let out a sob. She wrapped her arms around herself fell to her knees. Why was this happening to her? Was her luck that bad? Did she do something horrible in a past life and now she was getting punished for it?

 

She leaned against the side of the tub and cried. The shower water was hitting her face blending in with her tears.

 

“Kagome! What are you doing in there?! You've been in there for three hours!” Nameo called from the other side of the door.

 

Kagome flinched and turned off the shower. She sat there for a couple minutes trying to put herself back together again. She had to be strong for Souta. She would be strong for him until they were able to get away from these horrible people.

 

She stood up and grabbed a clean towel. She wiped off the foggy mirror to see herself. All she saw was that man smirking back at her. She looked away and began to dry herself off. She put on her clothes and left the bathroom.

 

“Are you a fish because you seemed to be soaking up all the hot water,” Nameo commented.

 

Kagome just ignored her and went to her room. Souta sat on her bed with a worried expression on his face. He saw Kagome enter the room and he ran to hug her.

 

“Are you alright sis? I heard a scream and I thought it was you,” Souta said.

 

“I'm fine Souta. Don't worry about me okay? Just don't let Kenji or Nameo get to you. They aren't good people,” Kagome said.

 

Seiji entered the room and saw how Kagome visibly flinched at the sight of him. Seiji was about a year younger than Kagome and felt really bad for what his parents did to her.

 

“Listen Kagome. I'm really sorry about everything. I tried to get them to stop but they are desperate for money,” Seiji said.

 

“It's alright. It was my choice,” Kagome said.

 

“No it wasn't! It was either do that or Souta would get hurt! That's not a choice!” Seiji said.

 

“What's done is done! We can't change time and even if I could I wouldn't change it. My brother's life is more important than mine,” Kagome said.

 

“Let me help you,” Seiji said.

 

“What can you do to help?” Kagome asked.

 

“You are going to have another costumer in two days. I can help you escape. I have a plan,” Seiji said.

 

“What's going on sis? What did you do to protect me?” Souta asked.

 

“I'll tell you later, right now I want to hear this plan,” Kagome said.

 

“Well I know where my parents keep all there money that they got from that man. I can get it for you and then you two can run away, but it's going to have to be when your next costumer comes over,” Seiji explained.

 

“How do I know I can trust you?” Kagome asked.

 

“I trust him sis. He's always looked out for me since we got here,” Souta stated.

 

Kagome looked down at her little brother and smiled. “Tell me the plan,” she said to Seiji.

 

“Okay well first you gotta…” Seiji began to tell Kagome the plan for her and her brother's escape.

 

~*~*~

 

The next morning Kagome got up and pretended to be in a better mood. She ran down stairs and smiled at her foster parents.

 

“Good morning! Mom, Dad,” she smiled sweetly grabbing an apple to start off the day.

 

“Good morning Kagome!” Nameo smiled back.

 

“Last night that man had nothing, but good things to say about you. I'm glad you're so happy this morning, my little money maker,” Kenji said.

 

“Well I am a curious teenage girl!” Kagome said through clenched teeth.

 

“Well tonight you have another costumer!” Nameo said.

 

“I thought I was going to have it tomorrow night,” Kagome said.

 

“Change of plans, I'm afraid. But now we get the money sooner,” Kenji said.

 

Seiji entered the room after hearing everything. “So we'll do it tonight then Kagome?” Seiji asked.

 

Kagome knew what he was talking about and nodded.

 

“Do what honey?” Nameo asked.

 

“Kagome is going to help me in math. I'm having a little trouble with my homework lately,” Seiji said.

 

“Make sure to be done by ten tonight, okay Kagome?” Kenji asked.

 

“Of course Dad. I wouldn't want to disappoint you,” Kagome smiled.

 

“You're our little angel!” Nameo squealed and hugged Kagome's head.

 

“You have no idea,” Kagome whispered.

 

“Hey Kagome! Can I go to the park?” Souta asked.

 

“Sure Souta, what to come Seiji?” Kagome asked.

 

“Sure! Let's go!” Seiji smiled and the three kids left.

 

“Does everyone remember the plan?” Kagome whispered.

 

“Yup, you distract the sales clerk while we sneak out with a box of the strongest sleeping pills,” Souta said.

 

“Now Souta I want you to know that stealing is bad and this better be the only time you steal something from anywhere,” Kagome said.

 

“Okay sis!” Souta smiled.

 

“Let's do this!” Seiji said and they walked into the convenient store. Kagome thanked her luck that a teenage boy was working at the register.

 

She walked over to him and asked, “Hi there, how are you?”

 

The boy looked up from his magazine and almost choked. A beautiful girl was talking to him! He was always the nerd in school, but not anymore! “I'm good,” he whispered still slightly shocked.

 

“My name is Kagome. What's yours?” Kagome asked bending over the counter to show some cleavage.

 

“I…I…I'm Y…Yuki,” the boy stuttered staring at her breasts.

 

“That's a cute name Yuki. You're kinda cute yourself,” Kagome smirked sensually at the boy. In the corner of her eye she saw Seiji and Souta head for the door. The sirens by the door went off and the boy was about to look, but Kagome pulled him into a lip lock. Souta stopped dead at seeing his older sister kiss a boy. She waved at him to move and Seiji pulled Souta out of the store.

 

Kagome pulled away from the boy and smiled, “Thanks Yuki. See you later.”

 

Kagome walked out of the store and ran to where Souta and Seiji stood. “Did you get it?” Kagome asked.

 

“Yeah, here you go,” Seiji said. Kagome smiled and then noticed the scowl on Souta's face.

 

“What's wrong Souta?” Kagome asked.

 

“You kissed that guy,” Souta said.

 

“I had to or you would've been caught. Now let's go to the park,” Kagome smiled.

 

“But that was gross!” Souta said.

 

“Well one day you'll be doing that with your girlfriend,” Kagome said and ruffled his hair.

 

“Listen to her, its true,” Seiji said.

 

“You mean you kissed someone too?” Souta asked.

 

“Of course! I'm 15,” Seiji said.

 

“Just give it a couple of years Souta,” Kagome laughed.

 

“You guys are gross!” Souta said.

 

~*~*~

 

“Are you seriously going to wear that?” Nameo asked Kagome.

 

“Why not? You picked it out for me,” Kagome stated.

 

“True, I guess the guy will like it,” Nameo said.

 

“Would you two like a drink?” Kagome asked her foster parents.

 

“Sure! Why thank you dear!” Nameo said.

 

“I'd like one too,” Kenji said.

 

Kagome stood and went to the kitchen. She got two drinks out and then pulled out the box of sleeping pills from her sleeves. She popped out two and put the powder in the drinks. She stirred them a little before she took they for her foster parents.

 

“There you go,” Kagome smiled as they took big drinks of the juice. The doorbell rang and her costumer was here.

 

“I'll get that!” Kagome smiled as Nameo's head hit the table, followed by Kenji's.

 

“Paybacks a bitch ain't it?” she asked to the knocked out forms. She walked to the front door and opened it.

 

“Hi! We are temporarily out of business at the moment. Come back tomorrow,” Kagome smiled sweetly than slammed the door in the guy's face.

 

Kagome ran upstairs and changed into a more comfortable outfit. She went up to Souta's room and said, “Let's go.”

 

Souta grabbed all his stuff and Seiji lead them to the back door. “Be careful out there,” Seiji said.

 

“Thank you Seiji. I'm sure you would've been a great brother if things didn't turn out this way,” Kagome smiled and hugged Seiji.

 

“Thanks, now go before it's too late,” Seiji said.

 

And without looking back Kagome and Souta ran out into the night, hoping to find some other kind people out there.
