Kagome had had enough of the abuse. Inuyasha had hit her for the last time. The fight was over the dinner she had slaved over only to have him hit her because it was not what he wanted. She has been married to him for five years now and they lived in a run down apartment on the bad side of town. Inuyasha spent most of his time down at the strip club as she worked at her brother-in-laws company. She woke early every morning to ride a bus to work that took two hours to get to. She always piled on makeup to hide the cuts and bruises on her face and wore long sleeved pant suits to hide the marks on the rest of her body. She feared that Sesshomaru would find out as they spent all day together since she worked as his assistant. He never said anything but she always felt his eyes on her as if searching for something.
She sat crying at the table as Inuyasha continued his rant about how she never listened and that he was tired of her and that she was disgusting and a prude all while comparing her to his whore Kikyo. She flinched at every insult he sent her way. Soon she stopped crying and just sat silently staring at the peeling paint on the wall. She heard the door slam as Inuyasha left and she waited a few minutes to make sure he wasn't coming back and ran to her room and packed all she could into a suitcase making sure to pack essentials. She pulled a lock box out from under a loose floor board and pulled out a six shooter that her mother had given to her when they had moved so she would have something to protect herself from intruders. She made sure it was loaded and pushed it into her purse leaving it where she had easy access to it and grabbed her suitcase and left the apartment.
She made it outside and looked around to see if Inuyasha was around. Seeing that he was nowhere to be found she ran to the subway knowing that she had a better chance there than at the bus stop. She made it just in time for the train to pull up and hopped on as the doors closed. Her heart was beating rapidly scared that he would catch her. She kept glancing around in fear that he was on the train. She didn't realize she was holding her breath until everything was beginning to become hazy. She exhaled and inhaled quickly so as to compose herself. She made it to her stop and ran from the station and stopped in front of the company she worked at.
She looked up at the large structure and saw Sesshomarus office light still on. Her heart lept and she ran into the building and dashed for the elevator. Once inside she pushed the button to the floor he was on and her eyes darted around the lobby as the doors closed. Once the doors closed she leaned against the wall in relief. Once she made it to her destination she ran to Sesshomarus office and found him leaning over papers. She walked over to him and sat silently in front of him.
Sesshomaru looked up as he heard someone sit in front of him and saw Kagome. His eyes widened at the site of her. She was covered in bruises and cuts. He saw blood on her shirt and some crusted in her hair. He jumped up and ran to her side and grabbed his handkerchief and a glass of water and began cleaning her up.
"What happened to you?" He asked angrily.
Kagome clench her fists in her lap and lowered her head. "Inuyasha." Was all she said.
Sesshomaru growled angrily but stayed calm for her. He finished cleaning her up and wrapped his arms around her. "Don't worry you will never be hurt again." He said as he patted her head. She began to cry into his chest but this time in happiness instead of sadness. He could feel waves of relief roll off of her as she cried. His anger doubled as he thought about what his pathetic brother did to her. He wanted to know everything but left it alone. Kagome needed to be taken care of first. He picked her up clutching her to him and grabbed her suitcase and purse and left the building.
He placed her in the passenger seat of his car and put her stuff in the back. He got in and drove to his mansion. He got out and picked her up again she had fallen asleep sometime during the drive and walked into his massive home and walked up the long staircase heading to his room he placed her on his bed. He covered her and patted her head again in a comforting manner when she stirred. She calmed down and fell back into slumber. He stood there looking at her and saw the fresh injuries mixed with old injuries he never noticed before. He growled low and chastised himself for never noticing before.
He left the room silently and pulled out his phone and made a call to the police alerting them of his brother and what he had done. They exclaimed that they were right on it. Sesshomaru nodded appreciatively knowing that Inuyasha would be in their custody within the hour. It felt good to have connections. He heard a small cry coming from his room and rushed back in and sat next to her and began lightly running his fingers through her hair to calm her. She calmed down once more and he leaned back against the headboard and sighed. How could he have let this happen? Especially to the one he loved.
