Disclaimer: I don't own InuYasha.

I looked around at the broom closet with wide eyes. Cleaning products lined the walls and toilet paper decorated the tall shelving units. I chanced a look at my boyfriend. He was looking at my slightly open chest with vivid joy.

"Hey, why don't we get back to the party?" I muttered and I cursed myself when my voice stuttered. He just shook his head and twirled a curled piece of hair around his finger. I shuttered with fear when he started kissing my neck. I made a startled noise and shot backwards into the wall of bleach. He let out sigh and walked closer. I shied away like a startled animal.

"We have been dating for six month, don't you think it's time that we-" I didn't give him time to continue and instead shifted to the side and shook my head violently. "Oh don't be like that!"

He grabbed my waist in a strong grip and tilted my head back to an uncomfortable angle. I pushed at his broad chest and he grunted in pain when I pinched him. He looked down at me in disbelief.

"What?" He muttered angrily. I had just come to a shocking realization. He was very close to raping me. He had asked to speak to me privately them practically started growing me in the hall.

"I said no!" I said, my voice held a little more conviction. He took a step closer so our body's were flush with each other. I pushed harder. His hand snuck under my skirt before I swatted it away.

"Kagome, stop being like is!" He shoved me a little bit and I wanted to scream. Coming to this Halloween party was a big mistake. Wearing an outfit that showed a little more skin for the man that was now abusing me was a bad idea. This whole night was a big, huge, mess.

"Get off you you jerk!" I dug my heels into the concrete floor and brought my knee upwards to his groin. He curled over on himself and I sprinted out of the closet. I could feel tears slipping down face and I wiped at them with the back of my hand, not caring about my Red Riding Hood makeup.

One of the perky student council members shoved a bag of candy into my hands as I walked form the gym. I grabbed it and stomped out.

The wind was cold and I wrapped my hood around my chest to keep out the biting October air. I started walking in a random direction, hoping to see a friend that might be able to drive me home. I fingered the rip in the bottom of my dress, showing off even more of my legs than was such a shame, i really liked that costume.

When I turned down a street a Power Ranger shot strait between my legs to grab his litter sisters Cinderella wig. The little princess hid behind my leg and stuck her tongue out at him from behind the safety of my body.

"What's wrong?" I asked the small like boy. He just crossed his arms over his padded suit and returned the glare his sister was giving him.

"She won't give me my sword back!" He yelled, waving around a wand that must have belonged to the little girl.

She smiled and held out the red plastic sword that matched the boys costume. I held out my hand and she slyly handed it over to me.

"But why can't a girl have a sword?" She asked, her big blue eyes started to tear up. I quickly shook my head and handed her, her wand and my bag of candy.

"Girls can be powerful, like take this wand for example." I pointed to the piece of plastic in her hand. "It could be used to turn your brother to stone or to just plain smack him over his head!" I said while gesturing to her scared sibling.

"I...guess your right." She said and looked down to the decoration with a new light. "Yeah! Your right!" She ran over and smacked her brother. He held up his flimsy sword and they started fighting, but laughing as well.

When the two finally stopped, the little girl smiled up at me and pulled on my cape to get my full attention.

"My mom is going to be waiting for us. Thank you Miss. Princess!" She sprinted to the porch of a pink duplex. The window showed a small woman handing out candy and welcoming her kids home, dragging their haul of candy into the house.

I smiled and looked around at the young kids all shuffling to get inside before the sun completely set. I had only walked a short distance and so I was only slightly surprised when his car pulled up beside me.

"Come on babe! Don't be mad!" He yelled out the sun roof. All of his friends laughed from behind their bottles of illegally obtained liquor. Many of them made cat calls.

"Get away from me." I crossed my arms and threw my hair over my shoulder. The boys made dissing noises. Even from the street I could smell the booze that seemed to radiate from him.

"Kagome, get in the car." He said and kicked the back door open. I slowed down and plucked my high heels off before swinging them over my shoulder and flipping him off.

If he wanted to be a jerk, than two can play that game.

"Get in the fucking car Kagome!" He yelled at me and I just kept my face forward and my back strait. He yelled at me for a while before I got a few feet away. "Put it into drive you dumb asses!"

I took off at a sprint. If he caught me it would be back to the party to be groped in a closet. I couldn't go home now, the doors would be locked and my mother would be out to work, most likely thinking I was staying over at Sango's.

I put a few blocks distance between us before I came to a dead end. A huge gate blocked my path and the huge brass padlock was covered with green ivy. I pulled at the bars before looking around and seeing headlights steadily making their way closer and closer to me. I whispered to the huge wrought iron fence.

"Please open!" I shook one more time before noticing a small gap in one of the posts. It had partly molded away and could fit someone of my size. I kicked the green wood holding the gate up and slipped in just in time.

My feet made loud crunching sounds on the gravel so I stepped into the safety of the trees lining the drive. I felt hidden and protected under their brambles and branches. I kept one hand on the bark and leaned out to watch the boys demolish the post.

"Dude you sure you saw her go in here?" He muttered and looked around in confusion. Even in the dark I could see his handsome face, square jaw, and bright green eyes.

My mother had been friends with his since my birth. It was only natural we'd grow up together. My mother agreed when he asked me out on our first date, then everything started to spiral downward because of the stupid coach. They started him on some new medication. When I told him they might be steroids he accused me of trying to sabotage all the things the team had worked to build. My mother was so happy to see me in a relationship that I couldn't let her down. God why couldn't I just have dump him!?

I creeped backwards and raced deeper into the estate. When the house came into view I was prompted to stop and admire.

The thing was three stories, with rooms with balconies and huge manor doors. I could see a sitting room in one window and a small olden era parlor. The deep purple shutters clanked and I jumped when I tried knocking on the door. I rubbed my arms and peeked into the closest window. No light was seen and nothing moved besides something that flashed at the corner of my vision, I pushed that thought away and pulled on the door.

The old mahogany gave easily enough and I slipped inside on the well oiled hinges. I slowly backed away from the door and hid behind the granite side table. I tossed my shoes into the corner and watched as a shadow passed over the door. I could hear their drunken cursing and mindless babble.

"I see something moving inside." One shouted and clomping sounded, alerting me to the fact that his gang had come up the front walk. When the boy looked over his shoulder to tell the others about what he saw, I crawled on my hands and knees to the parlor and to the side of the windows ledge.

My breath came in deep gasps, far to loud in the absolute silence of the unyielding house. I gripped my dress with a tight hold before steadying my resolve. I was not going to be some jocks plaything, to abuse and throw around, even if it meant hiding in an abandoned house for a few hours. I sucked in a shocked breath when a hand rubbed the grime from the window to peek inside, just like I had done. His eyes scanned inside and wandered over the old era furnishings but never once looked my way.

Gone, was the sweet child with the green eyes, who would hold my hand when I got in the pool and baked my cookies for my birthday. Who kissed me good night after having nightmares while spending the night, who would buy me hello kitty bandages when I got hurt just because I liked them. Instead was a man with a tight jaw and a hard stare. That of an abuser.

And I should know what that looks like.

I pushed thoughts of my father from my mind and replaced them with all the happy memories of my mother as I could, happy, joyful memories, full of sunshine and smiles. It would do till I got home.

When he finally pried his eyes from the pane of glass I listened with keen interest to their conversation.

"Dude, you sure you saw her come in here?" One asked, rubbing his hands over his bare shoulders. Another nodded.

"I'm sure dude, red cape, black hair, no shoes. It was her." He made wild hand gestured while he told his story.

"You don't think she went inside, do you?" He asked suddenly, looking right back into the window. I flipped backwards to avoid him catching a glance at me.

I hesitantly looked back out. I let out a startled gasp when one of the boys caught me eye. I let the breath out as soon as I had caught it.

Miroku nodded once, a jerky motion, before pointing at the trees that lined the driveway. He brought up my love for nature and how I might have hidden in there. I thanked the lord that Sango and him were dating.

After a half hour of fruitless searching, his gang got tired and his gas guzzling car pulled away from the gate and down the now abandoned roads.

I let out a sigh and stood up, rubbing my back. I looked out the spot on the window and made sure the coast was clear before picking my way through the sitting room I had crawled into.

I pulled my phone from my cleavage. It was the only place I could fit it. The little tower sign was missing and all the bars were empty. I reached for the door handle and as I was about to turn it a voice sounded behind me.

"I do hope your not leaving..." I screamed and spun around, branding my phone out in front of me like it could stop whatever evil thing that had presented itself. I lowered my cell and looked at the small child in front of me.

"Who are you?" I patted myself on the back for being able to get the sentence out without shuddering.

The little girl smiled at me and showed her front two teeth were missing. Her bright orange dress had become tarnished, rips decorated the ends and the sleeves that at one time must have flared upward but now just hung limply around her skinny arms. Her halloween costume was in shambles, or maybe that was how she was suppose to look. She was deathly pale.

"My name is Rin." She said and giggled before racing deeper into the bowels of the house. I gave chase behind her. I need to make sure she got home, her mother must be worried sick. She turned around every so often to make sure I was still following her.

"Where are you taking me?" I called and she responded by giggling again and racing into a room. I sprinted in after her and found the small study empty. A small lantern hung, unlit, on the desk, surrounded by letters and crumpled up paper.

"Rin?" I looked around carefully, always alert. My eyes adjusted to the darkness of the room and I spotted the heavy drapes hanging over what I hoped to be windows.

I padded over and gave one huge pull to the blood red curtains and watched as the expensive fabric pooled around my feet in a one great whooshing sound. Moon light flooded into the room, illuminating the abandoned fireplace and an untouched armchair. It's color matching the drapes vivid hue.

I was about to sit down when the floor boards above me creaked. I watched the small dirt particles rain down from the ceiling, illuminated by the moon lights rays. I whispered to the walls.

"Someone else is in the house." I couldn't be Rin, she was so small and when she ran she practically floated. I creeped backwards and cringed when my foot hit a metal tin full of umbrellas. I clanked and the foot steps above suddenly stopped. I grabbed one of the handles and branded it like a baseball bat.

No one else should be in this house besides me. Especially not little children and whoever was upstairs. The woman who had owned this house had died over ten years ago, she left the estate to her son. I had seen him around town, paying the gardening men to come and cut the hedges and mow the lawn.

He was a toad of a man, short and round with a pointed noise and a pitchy voice. He would often stop by to see my brother. the two had gotten close after he job shadowed him for a day.

And another thing, Mr. Toad was out of town this week.

I tightened my grip around the umbrella and slowly made my way to the door. I opened it with the tip of my weapon and peeked our to the empty corridor. I was wound up tight, my every sense on high alert.

My ears tuned into every sound, my eyes, every crack. I flexed my fingers and looked back over my shoulder and jumped before realizing I spooked at my own shadow.

A cold breath slipped over my shoulders and I spun around and smacked at whatever sounded my alarms. My blood was pounding in my ears and adrenaline pumped through my veins.

The umbrella was caught by a man.

His shocking golden eyes met mine and he muttered a single word in a strange accent.

"Interesting." My muscles started contracting because under his delicate lips sat a pair of equally delicate fangs. They shined in the darkness.

I let out a blood curdling scream and took off sprinting to the study. I had saw another drape next to the tin of umbrellas, maybe it hid a door.

I couldn't hear any form of pursuit but didn't hesitate to lock the door when I reached my desired room. My whole body hummed with anticipation. What I was waiting for was still a mystery. The lock slid into the bolt and I slowly backed away.

I waited for the crash of the white haired man when he rammed to the door, but it never came. I continued to back up to the exit while watching the door as well.

I backed into a wall. And let out a scream when they grew arms and wrapped themselves around my waist. I tugged and screamed but they just got tighter.

I kicked my heel at his shin but with out my heels I was rendered helpless. I finally stopped squirming, I waited for him to loosen his arms slightly before throwing all my weigh into a single thrust forward.

Before I could get anywhere the world blurred and my back slammed painfully against the hardwood paneling. I got the air knocked out of me and the world swayed.

Once everything came back into prospective I slowly watched the man watch me. His golden irises had tinged a shocking crimson and it contrasted sharply with his light skin and fair hair.

"Rin was correct, you are quite a beauty." He said and my heart sped up when his pointed fangs peeked out from under his lips. "Your heart hammers within the confines of your chest. Why? Do I frighten you?" He had picked up a strand of my hair and started to play with it, but dropped it and now in place of that, brought his hands up to rest on each side of my head. "If I do, I apologize. But you must understand I could not help myself." He stated, like he was talking to an old friend. "You smell is addictive."

I forgot I had this Drabble from my Halloween night of handing out candy. Happy late Halloween to all my loyal readers!
