My failed Escape and the Two Brothers

 

“Letting go doesn't mean giving up, but rather accepting that there are things that cannot be~ unknown

 

I walked down the street not really paying attention to anything, not that I needed to, I already knew the way to school by heart. I put on my sunglasses not just to block out the bright sun, but also to cover my black and blue eye. I stuffed my hand in my pocket pulling out my old beat up wallet. Opening it, I realized I was on my last twenty until I get paid on Friday. It was only Monday. Looks like I had to wait to get to school to eat, damn.

 

Ignoring my growling stomach, like always, I pulled my hood over my head. I kept walking the twenty minute walk to school. Walking while lost in thought.

 

Nothing was really on my mine. Not the hope of getting away from my parents, not of what my life would have been if I had different parents. Not of wondering if I would survive making it to my eighteenth birthday. I let go of those thought long ago. I learn that letting go doesn't mean giving up, but accepting that there are things that cannot be, such things as my freedom. I knew that it was hopeless after my first attempt to run away.

 

~~**Flashback**~~

Normal POV

 

“And you say he never came home from school?” The policeman asked the couple sitting in front of him at his desk.

 

“No Officer Cage.” The man said holding his crying wife. “We know were suppose to wait 24 hours until we make a missing persons report, but he's young and the world isn't a place for an eleven year old boy to be out at nine o'clock at night.”

 

“I understand I got a son round that age myself. I probably would be doing the same thing. Just a couple of routine questions, okay?” The other man nodded. Cage took out a small form, from his many files on his desk. On top of the sheet read the words, `Missing Person's Report.'

 

“Okay first question; what are your son's name, age, birthday address and address?”

 

“Inuyasha Taisho, age 11, his birthday is March 9, 1988. Our address is 4234 Dellin Ave.” The man answered.

 

“Okay,” Office Cage said writing everything down. “Parents I assume.” The two nodded, “Can I have your names again, just for record.”

 

“My name is Toga Taisho; this is my wife Izayoi Taisho.” Toga answered, he then spelled out the names when the officer seemed to be having trouble spelling it.

 

“Thanks, and what school does Inuyasha attend?”

 

“He goes to Tama Middle School.”

 

“Okay. Can you give me a description of him?”

 

“We have a picture.” Izayoi sniffled going through her purse pulling out a picture or a scowling Inuyasha taking for his last school pictures day.

 

“That's good, but we're going to need a body description for when we send a message through our radios for our patrolling officers to keep a look out for him.”

 

“I understand.” Izayoi answered putting the picture on the officer's desk. “Well, he's about 5'5'' maybe 105 pounds, a real lightweight right now. Amber eyes just like his father, hard to miss. He got beautiful long raven black hair, unbelievable long, past his waist, also hard to miss. He's my Puppy, and I want him home.” She finished crying.

 

“We'll find him Mrs. Taisho.” The officer sincerely said. “Okay, now you say you think he ran away right?”

 

“Yes.” Toga answered since his wife was silently crying. “You see just recently my eldest son turned 18 and moved out. Inu wanted to go with him, but we wouldn't let him. So he grew a tantrum and we yelled at him and grounded him. He was to come straight home after school, no where else. We think he was really mad at us and decided to run away. It's just that today he never came home.”

 

“I-I called the school, but they said he was at school, and left when it ended. And you see, Puppy, I mean Inu is a loner, so he doesn't have any friends at school.” Izayoi finished, wiping her tears away with the tissue the officer gave her.

 

“Do you think he ran to his brothers?”

 

“No, he doesn't live in this town. In fact we have yet to get a call from him informing us where he lives now.” Toga answered.

 

“He hasn't called you?” Cage asked confused at this.

 

“He was angry with us when he left, we didn't want him to go because he was still a kid even if he is 18. So he left, but he's strong. He can handle himself.” Izayoi answered softly. “But my Inuyasha can't take care of himself. Please go find him.” She said on the verge of tears again.

 

“Don't worry Mrs. Taisho, Mr. Taisho, well find him in due time. Just trust us.”

 

“Of course,” Toga answered. “Are there any more questions? We want to be home in case he returns.”

 

“No, this will be good for now. The second we find him, I myself will personally bring him to you.” Cage said standing up, he walked the two to the door of the police officer and even escorted them to their car. “If he does return home to you give me a call.” He gave them a card that had his own work phone.

 

“Thank you so much Officer Cage.” Izayoi said giving the policeman a hug. She pulled away from him and slid into the passenger seat after her husband opened the door for her, he closed it behind her. Toga turned to the officer and shook his hands thanking him. Then got in his car and drove home.

 

For two nights they heard nothing from the police or their son, Izayoi cried all the time blaming her for her son's disappearance. Toga worry turned to anger.

 

Second Night 1:15 am

 

A police car that was suddenly cruising around a park on duty suddenly came to a stop. A policewoman and man stepped out the car holding their flashlights. They were walking toward the benches, one bench in particular. They came to a stop in front of the bench and the woman looked at a copy of a photograph in her hand with the flashlight, and then turned the light on the bench, really on the sleeping figure on the bench.

 

“This is him.” The policewoman said looking at the eleven year old boy who had a sheet wrapping around his body and using a backpack at pillow.

 

“He got a sheet, he probably planned it.” The male officer said next to her.

 

“Yeah, I was thinking the same thing too. Might as well take him home,” The woman kneeled down and started to nudge the boy away. “Inuyasha,” She said in a soft gentle voice. When he didn't wake she shook him a little harder until the boys eyes fluttered open.

 

Young Inuyasha opened his eyes looking up into the eyes of a woman. He looked around wondering where he was. Oh yeah, those boys chased me to this park, he thought to himself. He slowly sat up, rubbing his eyes. He looked at the woman and then at the man behind her. He noticed his badge first. His eyes widened in fear, and his breathing became labored.

 

“You-your cops?” he asked pleading he was wrong. The woman smiled and moved to sit next to him, putting his bag in her lap.

 

“Yes Inuyasha. We've come to take you home.” She said pushing the boy's long hair back off his shoulder thinking that his hair was unbelievable long. She spoke gentle to the boy not wanting to scare him. “We've been looking for you for some time. You parents are worried to death and your mother I believe has yet to stop crying.”

 

“Oh,” The woman looked up at her partner and nodded. She stood up handing her partner the bag and then the blanket. The officer headed back to their patrol car to radio in the department of their found. The woman looked at the boy and saw how sad he was. He said something in a low voice but she didn't hear it.

“What was that?” she asked.

 

“Please don't take me back.” Inuyasha said looking up at her with pleading eyes.

 

“Don't you miss your parents? I know they miss you?” She said with a soft smile.

 

“No.” The boy said grabbing hold of her arm hoping to reason with her. “If you take me home they're going to kill me.” He was scared, she knew it. She then thought it was about the punishment he would get for running away, probably something like being scolded and grounded.

 

She chuckled, “Oh Inuyasha, I'm sure your parent's aren't going to kill you. You'll probably get punished, but that's only because they love you and worried.

 

“Yes they are, you don't know them like I do. They hurt me. They'll-” Inuyasha just stopped and sighed. He knew she wasn't going to listen to him. No one ever listened to him when he tried to inform them about how they treat him. In the end they would just hurt him more. No he would hurt, she would just watch. “You going to take me back there aren't you?” he asked, defeated.

 

“Yes, you're parents are really worried.” She said trying to figure out why he was so intent on not going home. She had a feeling this was more than him being grounded and running away from that. “How about this, we go get some warm food in you and go back to the department? How does that sound?”

 

Inuyasha was quiet, his gaze fell down and soon his eyes were covered by his thick unruly bangs. After a minute he stood up, but his gaze never lifted.

 

“No, just take me home.” Inuyasha finally looked up and the policewoman gasped at how emotionless his eyes were, were a minute ago they were showed emotion even if it was fear. “This conversation never happened.” The boy turned around and started walking away. He said something else low that got lost on the wind, but she was sure he said, “I am so fucked up, God kill me now.”

 

She stood up covering her mouth with one hand, tears threatened to spill out her eyes. She wondered if they were doing the right thing bringing that boy home. Her thoughts then went to his parents; she was there when they came in asking for help finding him. They seemed really worried, like good parents should be, she then smiled.

 

“I'm just over thinking this.” She said to herself and the followed the boy. But that worry nagged at the back of her mind, even though she ignored it.

 

They took the boy home after making a stop to the police department. There they had an on staff medical team who checked the boy over. Beside a few bruises, that the boy claimed to get in a fight, they dubbed him well. The two officers that found him accompanied by Officer Cage took the boy home.

 

His parents made a big deal about him being home, Inuyasha actually smiled. Though to the policewoman, the smile looked fake and forced. After that the three officers then left. Izayoi ushered her son in the kitchen and fed him a sandwich that Inuyasha just picked at. After he said he was done, she took him to bed and tucked him in. Then she went to bed happy.

 

Inuyasha laid in bed waiting for what he knew what was to come. Soon enough he heard the door open, and his covers pulled off him. Inuyasha sighed and sat up, bracing himself for the pain as he looked in his fathers angry eyes. He slid off the bed and was instantly grabbed, by his father.

 

Toga led his son tightly by the arm downstairs to the basement. He yelled at his son for running away, for making them worry (Inuyasha chuckled at this and was slapped), and then for making his mother cry. Toga promised Inuyasha a world of pain, and he kept that promise.

 

Toga beat Inuyasha so bad that Inuyasha was unconscious for half of it. Toga then poured cold water on his son to wake him up, and beat him again. He did this for three nights, each night Inuyasha was away. He didn't even go to school for the next two weeks because he was beat so badly.

After that he never ran away again, but that wasn't the last time he tried to get away from him.

 

~~**End Flashback**~~

 

I was pulled out of my thoughts when a car horn blasted right in my ear. I looked at the black Saturn car ready to curse someone out, saw who it was and smiled. I walked to the car and leaned over the passenger seat.

 

“Sup, Bankotsu, Jakotsu.” I said to two brothers and friends of mine.

 

We've been friends since last year, when I was getting into some drugs and stuff. They were the ones I went to but they kept me from really over doing it and killing myself. They were the only ones, who knew about my home life.

 

“Hey Yash,” Bankotsu said, he was driving. He reached over and we pounded fist.

 

“Hey Inu-baby,” Said the passenger, Jakotsu, I just rolled my eyes at him. Jakotsu was gay, not that I had a problem with that, it's just that he liked me and wasn't afraid of showing it. “Ah Inu, why you have your beautiful hair in your shirt, I can't feel it from there.” He was obsessed with my hair.

 

“Sorry.” I said shaking my head laughing. I turned to Bank. “Where you guys off to?”

 

They were out of school being the age of nineteen and eighteen, more like dropped out, but whatever. They were living by themselves long moved out of their parent's home. Their father didn't approve of Jake's sexual preference and kicked him out, Bank wasn't about to leave his one year younger brother to fend for himself and left too. They were doing pretty good for themselves, kept offering me to move in with them to get away from my own folks, but that wasn't a safe decision of me to make yet. But most likely I would move with in them when I turned eighteen.

 

“To get something to eat, want to come?” Bank asked, frowning, he saw my bruised up face.

 

“Can't no money till Friday.” I said looking out the windshield.

 

“Get in.” was all he said.

 

I knew that he was going to pay for my food but also rag on me for getting into a fight with the bastard. I looked at my watch; 7:50, school didn't start till 8:30. I knew I was going to hear a lot. I got in the back seat behind Jake, without a word he zoomed off. He was mad.

 

“Yash-” Here it comes, I sighed.

 

“Bank not today please, I don't want to hear it.” I growled and looked out the window.

 

“What happened?” He asked after a long pause. I looked at him in the rearview mirror and sighed. I should at least tell him what happened.

 

“He got drunk again and thought I stole some of his E pills.” I said looking out the window again.

 

“Did you?” Bank asked. He knew that I was off of the ecstasy pills but from time and time would use some when I break down. Sometimes I would use it without them being around me and that's what Bank hated the most. He was like a big brother to me, something I lost along time ago. I shook my head.

 

“Nah, I haven't touched any since me and you guys got off.” I said indicating that one time last month when I broke. I got in a fight with my dad but midway I pushed him over the couch and ran out the house. I ran all the way to their house banging on the door, they let me in. I was out of control, yelling punching walls, jumping around, they got out a stash of their shit and we got high. It calmed me down for the night.

 

“So what he blamed you and fucked you up?” Jake asked turning to me in the back seat.

 

“Basically,” I said, I then told them about what happened this morning. By then we were pulling up to Dunkin' Donuts. I finished when we got inside. I grabbed us a table while they went to get some food. I didn't care what they got me. Five minutes later they came back three coffees and three egg sausage and cheese sandwiches. We started eating in silence.

 

“Are you sure you don't want to come live with us Inu-baby.” Jake said breaking the silence.

 

“I told you guys what happened the last time I ran away from them. I still got some bruises from that shit.”

 

“How can he find you?”

 

“I'm going to finish school,” I said stubbornly, “They'll find me there, and they can pull me out in the middle of the day and then fuck me up again. I rather not go through with that again.” I wasn't about to them that I was terrified of them man who called himself my father to try that shit again. I looked down at my food, half of it gone, thinking about saving the other half for later.

 

“Come on Yash-”

 

“You guys don't get it.” I said slamming my bruised fist in table, but ignoring the pain. “I'm not leaving till I turn eighteen; then they can't do anything to bring me back.” I wrapped up the rest of my sandwich and stuffed it in my pocket. “I'm going to school.” I began to stand up but Bank grabbed my right arm. I winced at the pain and he softened his grip but didn't let go.

 

“We'll take you to school, just chill. We'll drop it, okay?” he said. I sighed and nodded, the two stood up and we left the place.

 

They drove me to school and then said they'll pick me up after school, so we can go back to their house and chill a few before I had to get to work at five.

 

I looked at my school, not really wanting to go in. Not that I really have much of a choice. Shikon High, here I come.

A/N::: I know I said I was going to put chapter 2 as him in school but that' s chap 3 and I'm working on that right now. I was going to put him having no friends but a friend of mine convinced me to give him someone to at least talk to. But he still doesn't trust them enough to move in with them, along with being afraid of his father.

Hopefully chap 3 will be up today or morrow…

 

** Much Love ~ Story**
