I DO NOT OWN INUYASHA OR ANY OF INUYASHA'S CHARACTERS:

InuYasha held up a wrench to the 1999 BMW in his garage that he was fixing. Kikyo came up behind him and kissed his on the lips lustfully. Her eyes wondered around him to the guy that was standing and watching InuYasha and Kikyo. Kikyo smirked and walked off, InuYasha looked around as the guy exited the building. Something was off and he knew it was going to cause trouble. Kikyo was acting up, and now there was a man that was eyeing her up. His marriage wasn't working anymore, she was heading a different direction. He knew this time was about to come, he needed a divorce and a soon one. He set down his tools and wiped his hands on an oil slick cloth. Kikyo stuck his head inside the garage and smiled.

"Honey, I'm heading out, do you want something," she said as she checked her purse and wallet.

"Nay," he said.

"Ok," she said smiling as she walked out of the garage.

"What I need is a fateful wife that loves and respects me," he said muttering.

An hour went by and few people stopped by to get their cars fixed. InuYasha was about to close up when a horn sounded outside the garage. He walked over to the door and looked out. A woman was getting out of her car, her face was set with anguish and grief. InuYasha opened the door, his eyes settling on the woman. She looked just like Kikyo, yet she seemed different, like her personality was different. She looked up and noticed InuYasha standing at the door.

"Hello, ma'm, you need something," InuYasha said.

She looked up, "Yes, my car has been making some odd noises, can you see what it is."

"Yes," he said smiling and noticed that she was shivering, "you may go into the garage there is an office that u can sit in, its warm in there."

"Thanks," she said looking down.

She turned and walked into the garage. InuYasha watched her go into the garage, then turning towards the woman's car. Starting it up the rumbling started out soft then got louder. With shock he shut off the car, grabbing the keys and walking into the back into the garage. The woman was sitting in the chair next to the door, clenching her purse to her chest. He saw marks on the woman's arms, the cowering away from men, and here eyes never looking into his. She was a woman of a man whom liked to beat women. She look to him, but not at his face.

"Did you find the problem?" She asked in a low voice.

"Yes I know what the problem, but I don't have the part to fix it, and I wont have it until next week," he said in a lower voice, to settle the frightened woman down.

"I-I need to get home, b-before my boyfriend gets home," she still wouldn't look him in the eyes.

"Is he the one whom is giving you the burses?" He asked a question that he already knew the answer.

"H-He does it because I-I'm not g-good e-enough," she whispered.

"A man should see you as a wonderful woman, he just isn't a man if he does that to you," InuYasha said to her, then turned around asking, "Miss, what is your name?"

"K-Kagome," she said.

"Well Kagome lets get you home then, I will keep you car here so that just in case I get a part sooner I can get it fixed."
