DISCLAIMER: I do not own Inuyasha!

Kagome's POV

The ride to Songo's house was the longest and most uncomfortable rides ever. After riding in silence for a while Songo tries to start a conversation. She starts telling me all about her friend Miroku. I start to relax a little listening to her stories and start to wonder what it would be like if I grew up like normal with her.

I start to daydream and end up tuning Songo's stories out. I start to remember hazy memories from my childhood. I remember my first day in kindergarten when my mom was dropping me off. I begged her to stay with me but she left anyway. After she left I sat in a corner by myself while watching the other children play and laugh. Suddenly this little girl runs over to me and starts dragging me off to play.

FLASHBACK

"Hi, my name is Songo! What's yous?" The little girl asked excitedly.

"My name's Kagome," I whisper quietly while looking down shyly.

"That's a pretty name! Want to be friends?" she said happily while giggling.

Her happiness started to rub off on me and I giggled too. "sure we'll be best friends!" I agreed. After that we played together all day and we cried when it was time to go home.

FLASHBACK OVER

After that day we was best friends. I would always stay over night at her house as often as I could but after a year she started questioning me about my bruises. Even though she was my best friend I was too scared to tell her where I really got them. And soon her mom started asking about them as well. It made me sad to lie to her so I just decided to stop staying the night. That was the hardest decision in my life because after I started staying home more he would beat me. Not long before entering the 2nd grade my mom found out she was pregnant again.

I was both thrilled and saddened with the news. My father stopped full out beating my mom but he would still hit her occasionally. So to take out his frustration and anger he began beating on me more. During the time of my mothers pregnancy I vowed not to let him hurt a hair on my little brother or sisters head. It was getting close to time for my brother to be born when it was two weeks before my moms due date she filed for divorce. I was happy with the thought of leaving that house of horrors and living with my mom and brother. But then it happened.

My father had went crazy with anger when he discovered my mother packing bags to leave. That very night was the night that changed my life. It was the night I committed murder. Before I could recall the horrific scene Songo, who I just realized had asked me a question, was waiting patiently for an answer.

"Um, sorry I was lost in my thoughts could you please repeat that?" I asked uncertainly. I glanced at her out of the corner of my eye I saw her smile slightly before repeating her question.

"So what is your name?"my breath caught in surprise at the sudden question that I was unwilling to answer.

"...."

"Well do I need to ask again?" she questioned. I could hear some of the frustration leaking into her voice. I heisted a little before answering very quietly.

"K-Kagome," she shot a glance at me and tilted her head in my direction slightly. It was a clear sign that she didn't hear me and was waiting for me to repeat it.

"My n-name is Ka-Kagome," I repeated slightly louder. She gasped slightly and I saw her eyes widen. She shot a quick look at me and quickly looked away when I caught her looking.
