Earlier that day...~

I woke up the next morning with a groan realizing I hadn't set my alarm. Rushing through my morning routine I grabbed my sneakers and keys, hoping into the shoes while bouncing down the stairs.

Making it to the office on time with the exact same set up as before practically, and then set out for the rounds. I missed a couple of turns because I couldn't help thinking about Kagome and yesterday afternoon. She was nice but I felt so guilty and dumb for being there...I hoped I wasn't too mean...I could be a real asshole sometimes and I knew that.

What did she mean by there was no one to call, and she said she wasn't from around here either...where was she from? I would have liked to know more about it her but...she just didn't seem like she wanted me there. And that last comment “I don't need anyone.” I wondered if she was lying...

Reaching Kagome's office I nervously stepped in, a girl with short black hair greeted me.

“Hi, I'm here for the deposit bag please.” She reached under the desk and pulled out the white bag handing it to me.

“Hey how is Kagome doing?”

“Oh...um she's ok, she woke up yesterday around three and the doctor said she'll be released today probably. I'm so sorry about what happened...”

“It wasn't your fault don't worry, no one blames you. Accidents happen, I'm just glad to hear she's ok, I'll tell the rest of the office. Hey could you do me a favor?”

“Yea sure...” I hesitated wondering what I had just agreed to, why did I take orders so much when it came to this girl?

“Could you go by the hospital today and give Kagome her car keys and this note? Two of us drove her car over and parked it at the hospital yesterday so she could have a way home when she was released. I would go today but things here have been just insane without Kagome around. I simply don't have time.”

“Oh...well I couldn't go till four when I get off, is that ok?”

“Yes that would be wonderful! That's way earlier than when I would be able to make it. You're sure its ok? It would help me so much.” She gave me a big hopeful smile how could I say no?

“Yea, its fine, no problem.”

“Oh thank you, thank you!” She jumped up giving me a quick hug; I stiffed awkwardly at the touchy happy girl. `What's with the perky people in this town?' I thought, but I didn't say that, I just gave a nervous laugh. “...yea it's fine...really...” I backed away from the girls grip with a fake smile.

I got back in the car heading for the bank before I realized...this means I have to see Kagome again...I gulped.

I went through the duties at work trying to focus but Kagome was always at the edge of my thoughts. Her car keys jingled in my pocket thumping lightly against my leg when I walked, serving as a constant reminder of the visit I had to make to her. Did the girl at the office call and tell her I was coming? Would she even want to see me...my nerves only got worse as the end of the day approached.

At four I said bye to everyone, Miroku made a joke or two about me having no accidents that day. I gave him a quick glare then headed for the elevator. It crawled down the floors as I tapped my foot impatiently. I had no idea what I would find at the hospital but I was strangely thankful to have an excuse to see this mystery girl again. Pulling her keys out I ran my fingers over them for the tenth time that day examining a small key chain that seemed to be some sort of Japanese charm. I recognized the symbols but gave up putting together what they could have meant seeing as I tried reading Japanese since my mother had died…

Present time…~

I felt ill. My stomach lurched and my heart heaved up into the top of my throat, ricocheted off it slamming into the bottom of my stomach, before snapping back into my pounding rib cage. I would have given anything to be able to run, to flee and not stop until I knew I was safe. But I was trapped in the small room, my only escape blocked by his body, and I was too weak to run.

“What are you doing here...?” I repeated the question my voice low but edging on hysterical.

“I heard you were hurt, am I not allowed to check up on you?” His voice was soft like silk but it made my skin crawl. A flashback of his lips pressed against my ear made me shudder. He advanced toward the end of my bed with me sinking further into the mattress. Compelling it to eat me somehow...save me from this.

“You know I don't want anything to do with you.” I was growling more than talking at this point.

“And you haven't returned any of my calls; you're such a naughty girl Kagome. Changing your number on me...warning your roommates about me. That's not right, that's not how you treat someone you love.” Sarcasm dripping off his every word. He was sucking all the air up in the room, suffocating me with his presence.

“Get away from me...I don't love you anymore…I don't want to see you!”

“But you did, and you didn't even give me a chance. I deserved a chance! But no you left me then I find out what you did and you won't even talk to me. How is that fair! Me never having been able to tell you exactly what I think of you.” He was keeping his voice low to not alert the staff but the threats were still all there in his menacing connotation on each word.

“You told me plenty of times...you harassed me non stop! I had to change my phone number and everything else I could to get you away from me! You're lucky I didn't file a restraining order! I would have if I could have proved what you did to me!” I hissed.

He had been stalking towards me and lashed out grabbing hold of my arm.

“You can't prove shit; I didn't do anything compared to the humiliation you caused me. Fucking another man when I was still banging on your door, lying to me, slandering my name, who the fuck do you think you are to get away with that?!”

“I didn't fuck anyone! This is why I broke up with you! You're paranoid and delusional! You have no concept of reality and anger issues I can't even begin to describe. You don't love me you never did! You don't abuse someone you love the way you did me. And you want to talk about humiliation? Your deranged friends attacked me, you stalked me!” My anger was boiling up to the surface uncontainable and I was sitting straighter up yelling into his face. “I couldn't even date anyone else because of the shit you said about me or you threatened to attack them too!”

“You fucking whore...you don't know anything about me and you've just begun to know what threats are. As long as your around I will do everything in my power to make your life hell because that is what you deserve...you didn't really think I would just give up did you? Let you get away with it? Leave you alone? You're even dumber than I thought if that's the case. You can't run anymore...because I've found you honey...and I won't let you escape again...” I winced as he squeezed my arm tightly. More flashbacks of him holding me down pierced my eyes.

“Let me go” I snarled glaring at him as fiercely as I could.

“Not until you drop that bitchy little attitude, and admit everything.” He twisted my wrist painfully and I cried out softly trying to squirm away from him. “That's a little better...just seeing your face like that, the fear in your eyes...it's perfect.”

I breathed heavily recognizing what was happening, panicking instantly, my body telling me to scream at the top of my lungs but paralyzed staring at his eyes with sheer terror.

“What the fuck do you think you're doing?” …. his voice. He had come to wake me from the nightmare.
