"Souta? Where are you taking me?" a ten year old Kagome Higurashi asked her 18 year old brother Souta Higurashi.

"I have to take care of something but I need you to hide here. Don't make a sound. If anything happens to me, run home as fast as you can and don't look back. Lock the doors and go into my room. There is a room under my bed. Go in there and don't come out. Someone will contact you with the phone that is in there. Once they call, go through the door on the right. It's full of money. Be sure to take it all. Then wait in there until the people come. They will help you pack your things. Go with them if they say that they love butterflies… but only if they say that. Do you understand me Kagome?" Souta had tears in his eyes as he gave his only family the instructions he hoped would save her life. Sure she wasn't his real sister but his half sister. They had different fathers. His was human and Kagome's was a dog demon making her half dog demon half human. "And please be sure not to take your necklace off around the old people okay? They don't like hanyous much but I used to work for them and they haven't got any records so no one will suspect them." Souta said referring to the tiara pendent that he had given Kagome one year to hide her true form from the children at school and also to keep her demon blood from gaining control of her if ever she got too angry. He then glanced at his watch. "I have to go. Just promise you'll do as I say."

"I promise Souta. What's happening? Are you in trouble?" Kagome asked as she was pulled into one last hug from her brother. She could sense something bad was going to happen.

"I love you Kagome. I want you to finish school and get a good job as a model like you always wanted. Be sure to find yourself a good mate too, okay? Someone like me. Strong, handsome, and who'll do anything for you. And remember me and that I love you." He gave her a quick kiss on the cheek and left her standing behind a pillar.

"I love you too Souta and I will do as you say." Kagome said to her brother's retreating form.

Kagome watched as her older brother and last family member walked into the room just below where she stood. Luckily for her, the floor on which she stood had no floor in the middle, just glass, so she was able to see what was happening below and with her hanyou hearing she could hear them perfectly. Souta stood in the middle of the room as two more men walked in. They wore similar head bands as she had seen Souta wear from time to time when he went out. They were also wearing black leather jackets and dark blue, possibly black jeans and a white tea shirt underneath the jacket. Kagome knew they were bad just by looking at them. But how did Souta know them? Kagome wanted to scream for Souta to run but he had told her to be quiet. She listened as the men started talking to Souta.

"Souta my friend! Where have you been? Boss's been wondering if you dropped off the face of the Earth or something." Said the man with long blonde hair.

"I've been taking care of things." Said Souta.

"What kind of things? It's not like you have a family member left. I mean… you killed them all." Said the man with spiky green hair.

"I was being controlled when that happened. But yes I did kill them all and I have lived every day since with a pain in my heart. You of all people know this to be true Coremag."

"Souta…… we don't have hearts. We kill and we enjoy." Coremag said with a small toothy grin and a chuckle.

"But you didn't ask me here to wonder what happened to me, did you. Why did you really ask me here, Dozla?"

"Fine… We get down to business here. Where's the money you took from the Boss?" Dozla said.

"I spent it."

"All Thirty Million dollars cash? In only 3 days? How is that possible?" Dozla said as he crossed his arms impatiently.

"It isn't that impossible if you really think about it Dozla. Of course, I wouldn't think too hard if I were you…. Wouldn't want your head to explode or anything. That would be too messy and I don't really want to explain to Boss about how you died…." Souta said with a small grin. Just then Dozla pulled a handgun out of his jacket pocket and pointed it at Souta's head.

"WHY YOU…. YOU'RE GONNA PAY FOR THAT SOUTA."

"Dozla calm down… we have to get him to say where the money is before we kill him. Now Souta, tell us where the money is and MAYBE we will let you live." Coremag said and he pushed Dozla's gun hand down.

"I told you, I spent all the money. There is nothing left." Souta said.

"Dozla, hold him there. I'm gonna call Boss and get his orders." Coremag said to Dozla has he pulled out his cell phone and walked a few steps away.

"You're lucky we're calling Boss. He's a very generous man and normally we kill when we don't get the answer we want." Just then Coremag came back stuffing the phone back into his pocket. "So what did Boss say?"

"Kill him."

"What? Just like that?" Dozla said with a shocked expression.

"Boss gave his orders. He said that we did get an answer and it was the wrong one and Souta or not, we were ordered to kill him." Coremag said as he walked away and out the door he had come through.

"Any last words before I kill you?"

"I just want to tell my little Teddy Bear that I love her and I'll miss her."

"Who's this little Teddy Bear?"

"A little Teddy Bear. Won it from a carnival when I was little and have cherished it always." Unbeknown to Dozla, the little Teddy Bear was Souta's nickname for Kagome. Kagome started to cry silent but she never missed the sounds of the gun cocking and her older brother and only family member whisper "RUN" under his breathe.

She did as he said and ran home. The sound of the gun fire was behind her but she heard as any human would have if they were in the building still. She could see in her head, her brother's body falling to the floor in a pool of blood coming from his head. Before she knew it, she was in her house and locking the front door.

Kagome ran to her brother's room and slammed the door behind her. She then crawled under the bed and found the door and opened it. The room was roomy enough for her and her brother to fit in there and still have room to move around and stand. It was like a hole other room under there. The lights gave off a blue color and the room was full of computers and gadgets.

"Souta never said I could touch any of his things in here…. With the exception of the phone when it rings and the money in the door to the right." Just then, the black phone on the table started to ring. Kagome went to it and picked it up. "Hello?"
