Chapter 1
It had been three years since she had left home. Three long years since she had left the life she had been raised in since birth and she missed it so much more then she would have liked to. But she would not go back; she would not go and become a mindless doll for her father to control. Just as she had finished up with the last of her work, the averaged height girl walked out only to be greeted by her two best friends. After smiling at the two and walking over to the car they were standing by, she smiled and asked, "What are you guys doing here? I thought you guys had plans."
"We did, but when Sango realized you were pulling a double shift again she didn't want you walking so we cut our plans early and came to get you sweetheart." Her friend with the violet eyes and small pony tail answered with a smile on his face.
"Sango, you know I can take care of myself. You've taught me how to fight like a demon slayer and Miroku here is helping me learn how to control my miko powers." The girl stated.
"Oh come on Kagome, you can't blame me for worrying. I mean if you would just use my car none of this would be happening." Sango replied.
"Whatever, so what are you going to do now?" Kagome asked as she jumped into the black convertible.
"Well we were thinking of hitting a bar." Miroku stated.
"Well you guys know I don't drink much." Kagome answered.
"Oh, come on, you don't work tomorrow and you need to relax a bit more." Miroku stated.
"Miroku is right Kagome. Ever since school let out for winter vacation you have been doing nothing but work." Sango stated in a worried voice. "I'm starting to get worried."
"Sorry but I just can't help it. I need to start saving up money now since I have to pay for my book and a class next semester." Kagome explained.
"Once again, if you would just let me help you with that then you wouldn't have to worry so much." Miroku stated. "You must be the most stressed eighteen-year old I know."
"Whatever, I'll go to the bar with you but I'm going to need to change first, so take me home." Kagome stated.
"Trust me you won't regret it." Sango stated with a grin on his face.
Having nothing more to say, Kagome enjoyed the car ride as she paid close attention to the music that was being played while her two friends talked amongst themselves. Once they had reached her place, Sango looked around and turned to Miroku before saying, "This is really not a good place for her to be leaving at. I mean look at the all this mess."
"Hey, I'm right here first of all and secondly I can take care of myself. How many times to I have to tell you two." Kagome hissed as she got out of the car.
"I'll go with you. You leave on the third floor and I don't like the stairs and the dark corners on the stair case." Sango stated.
"Like I'm going to let my sister and my baby go in alone, I'll be joining you girls." Miroku stated as he turned off the car to get out of the car.
Once they were all out of the car they made their way to the third floor and to Kagome's apartment. Once they were in, Sango and Miroku looked around only to find that she had some books lying on the floor in the living room while others were on the table. Before they could say a word, Kagome took in a deep breath and said, "don't even say a word, I was looking up on something that I was taught by my miko teacher and I needed to better understand it."
"You should have just asked." Miroku stated. "I would have helped you if you would have just asked."
"Yeah, well I don't like asking for help, you should know that by now." Kagome replied.
"Really Kagome, there is nothing wrong with asking for help." Sango stated.
"It's just not my style, you guys know that." Kagome stated as she walked into her room and closed the door so that she could change.
"I take it we're spending the night with Kagome." Miroku stated as he turned to face his girlfriend.
"Yeah I don't want to leave her alone." Sango answered.
With a grin on his face, Miroku took a step toward his girl and said, "Well how about you and I continue our night after we've tucked our sweetheart into bed?" in low and husky voice.
"Don't even think about it." Sango hissed out as she slightly pushed him away from her.
"Oh come on baby, it's not like she'll hear anything. I'll cover your mouth." Miroku stated as he pressed her against the wall before kissing her neck.
"Miroku." Sango whispered as she couldn't help but be overwhelmed at by his kisses.
Just as Miroku was about to move his hand up her skirt, he froze as Sango let out some colorful curses when they both heard their friend angry voice say, "If you guys are planning on doing it then you can go to your own place and do it there."
"Told you." Sango hissed as she really pushed him off of her.
"It was worth a try." Miroku mumbled.
"Are you going to at least try to find a guy tonight?" Sango asked in a hopeful voice.
"We'll see, for now let's get going before I deiced to stay home." Kagome answered as she began to lead the way back to the car.
Once they had reached the club, Miroku got them a table and ordered some drinks. As they all talked, laughed and had a great time, Kagome couldn't help but smile. She knew she would be happy if she could keep this life forever, she knew that there was nothing that could take her back to her old life. Just as Sango and Miroku had gotten back from dancing, Kagome looked at the two with a happy face and said, "I'm glad that you guys are having fun."
"What happened to that guy you were dancing with?" Sango asked as she took a seat next to Kagome.
"Well, he got a bit to hand on if you know what I mean." Kagome answered as he took the fifth shot she had ordered.
"You're going to get wasted if you keep drinking like that." Sango warned.
"I have a high alcohol tolerance if you must know." Kagome shot back.
"So you've said. So what now?" Sango asked.
"Now, I will go and get you two lovely ladies some more drinks and some food. What would you guys like?" Miroku stated as she took note of what Kagome had to drink besides her shots.
"I'll have some Jack and coke with some hot wings." Sango stated.
"I'll share the hot wings with Sango and I'll have a sun raise with two more shots." Kagome answered as she reached for her purse.
"Don't worry about it, I got it." Miroku stated.
Once he was gone, Kagome looked at Sango and said, "I really need to thank you for looking after me when you guys met me in high school."
"You really shouldn't worry about that, you're like a little sister to me, I'll always be there for you…after all we have gone through similar things." Sango replied.
"Yeah…we have." Kagome stated before taking the last shot she had set on the table.
"So have you found any guys?" Sango asked as she changed the subject.
Miroku made his way to the bar area as he tried to keep a calm look. He knew that they knew who he was; he knew that they would not dare to try and acknowledge him for who he was while he was here with two girls that had nothing to do with the yakuza world. Just as he had reached the bar his phone began to ring. After ordering what the girls wanted, and knowing that he would not be charged, Miroku pulled out his phone and said, "Hello?"
"Some things come up. I need you to come here we're moving out."
"This is one hell of a time do you know that. I'm with my girl and her friend….you know the one's I've told you about." Miroku stated in a cold voice as he moved to get out of the club and into the office that was at the side of the bar.
"Like I give a damn, take them home and get your ass over here, we're leaving by midnight so you better be here before then."
Before Miroku could even say a word against it, he was forced to hang up his phone when the line went dead. Knowing that there would be hell to pay if he took off and didn't come back for them, or if he was to leave the car with them and not come back until he would go back to meet them the next day. After taking a calming breath and actually paying the guy for the order, Miroku took the order and made his way to go and get the girls so that he could go and drop them off. Once he had reached them, he had found Sango by herself while Kagome was nowhere to be found. Miroku placed the things down and asked, "Where did Kagome go?"
"Well she was asked to dance I glared at her so she went." Sango answered with a grin on her face.
"How nice, but I'm sorry to say that I just called into work." Miroku stated.
"Damn it, why is it that every time you get a chance to spend the night with me you have to get called into work. I swear I'm going to end up getting that number of yours and yelling at that bastard of a boss of yours." Sango stated as she quickly drank her coke and jack.
"I'm sorry baby but there's nothing I can do, I have to go." Miroku stated.
"I say you should have just said no." Sango said.
'If only I could say no…if I say no to the boss I'd be killed.' Miroku thought.
"I take it we're leaving?" Kagome was heard as she walked over to them with a guy holding on to her.
"Yeah, Miroku has to get to work." Sango stated.
"I can take you home baby." The guy that held on to Kagome was heard.
"Thanks but no thanks, I'll leave with them." Kagome answered as she pulled away, drank her shots and drink and stood next to Sango.
"How about a number?" the guy asked as he took a step toward her.
"I believe she ended the dance already so take a hike jerk." Sango hissed as she began to get protective of her friend. 'He looks like yakuza.'
"I wasn't talking to you bitch." He growled.
"What did you just call my girl?" Miroku stated in a cold voice as he stood in front of the two girls so that they wouldn't the shocked face of the underling that was in the same yakuza he was in.
Having nothing else to say, the guy took off like a bat out of hell while the girls got ready to leave. After dropping them off and making sure that all of the windows and all of the doors were locked, Miroku took his leave so that he would be able to reach the main house on time. Once he had arrived, one of the younger members moved his car while he went to go and stand next to his boss. He was the bodyguard of the second son of the leader of the yakuza. Just as he had entered the room, he looked at his friend and said, "Sorry I'm late, I had to get my girls home."
"I knew you were a player." A voice was heard.
"Nice to see that you are feeling better Rin-sama." Miroku replied, "But it's not what you think."
"If only we could believe that." A cold and emotionless voice was heard.
"Feh, enough of that do you all know why we're here?" a low growl was heard.
"No, but I can take a guess." Miroku stated in an annoyed voice.
"Oh really, and what would your guess be?" Rin replied. "Sesshomaru and Inuyasha must know the truth so what makes you think that you can guess such a thing."
"Rin." Her mate growled out.
"Sorry Sesshomaru." Rin was heard.
"Anyway, my father is with a friend, we're to make sure that nothing happens tonight while he is gone." Inuyasha growled.
"What are you thinking?" Sesshomaru asked.
"The only one that is most likely to give us any problem would be the spiders or the wolf clan since they are the only ones we don't have a trace with." Miroku stated. "Even then it's not like they would actually try anything now since last week's fight."
"Well it's a good thing you're here, my brother-in-law has just found a good candidate and we don't need him being targeted." Rin stated.
"Feh, I can take care of myself." Inuyasha growled at her.
"Then why the hell did you call me here?" Miroku asked in a cold voice.
"Because I just found out that your girl is a lawyer and I want to know what kind of lawyer she is. I'm worried about you and for this family." Rin stated in a much colder voice.
"She's not the one that would take our side if that is what you're asking." Miroku answered in a truthful voice.
"This is not wise, you are my brother right had man, you are his bodyguard and his friend…you have no right to be sleeping with a lawyer that will want to put you or my brother away in jail for a long time." Sesshomaru growled.
"She won't, I love her and she loves me just as much, I know if I explain things to her she will be able to accept it." Miroku stated.
"You better hope so; otherwise I'll kill the bitch myself." Rin warned as she allowed her mate to wrap his tail around her to calm her.
"Feh, let's just get going, we're only going to go and look around and make sure that nothing is going on before heading back, it won't take more than a few hours." Inuyasha growled as he turned to leave.
"Then we'll meet here once we've each covered our own area." Rin was heard.
Once they were out of ear shot, Inuyasha turned to his best friend and said, "I know that you love her man, so don't worry, I got your back."
"Sorry but I'm the one that is suppose to have your back." Miroku half joked as he tried not to let what they had said get to him.
"Feh, just be with her if you love her. At least you get a choice as to who you get to be with." Inuyasha growled out in anger.
"So I take it the reason your dad went out is to get you a good girl that can protect you and care for you like Rin can do for Sesshomaru." Miroku replied with a grin on his face.
"If he even tries to get me anyone that is remotely similar to Rin I'm going to have to say hell no to that one." Inuyasha growled.
"Come on man your twenty and you still don't have a girl. Your bro met Rin when they were still in high school." Miroku pointed out. "You need to find someone."
"Just drop it and get ready…you got our guns read right?" Inuyasha asked.
"Dude I just got here, I don't got anything ready for tonight." Miroku answered.
"Well let's just take some from the younger members, not like they need to be carrying that shit anyway." Inuyasha stated.
"Well you get your guns, I feel like using my staff tonight." Miroku answered.
"Who pissed you off?" Inuyasha asked. "The only time you use that thing is when you're mad and couldn't do anything to the person that pissed you off."
"Let's just say that one of our younger members is going to regret calling my babe a bitch." Miroku answered.
Once they had gotten the weapons of their choice the two jumped into the car that had been waiting for them and began to make their way to the area they were in charge of looking out for most of the night. While Miroku tried to get a some idea of how he was going to talk to his girlfriend about all of this, he also had to make sure that nothing life threatening get close to his boss, to his best friend. "Sango…would you stay with me if I was hurt today and you were told why? What would you do if they told you I was hurt for protecting my best friend who is the second son to the Taisho family?' Miroku couldn't help to think as he kept his eyes out for ay enemies.
