Hey there anari01 here so I'm thinking a little angst. Well not right now but later. If you think this is dark than wait until the chapters go on. It's going to be pitch black lol. Enjoy


"Why did you walk her to school and why the hell were you like um-fuck you know-" Hiten hesitated, trying to find the right words to say to his older brother's actions he displayed that morning. "It was like you were- you were like-" He sat beside Bankotsu as he leaned back and smirked at his naïve little brother.

"You mean it was like I was flirting with my sweet, adorable sister."

"Yeah. What the fuck was that about just now. Sweet? Adorable!"

"Keep your voice down. You have to put on a show for your little fan girls." Hiten looked toward the classroom door, laying his eyes at the girls who whispered and squealed as Bankotsu waved with a bright smile on his face.

"I don't care about them right now. What the hell was this morning about? Usually you would be hitting her and taunting her and now your calling her adorable and fucking laying your hands on her hips." His blood was boiling at this point as he stared at his smile. He clearly showed that he didn't care about anything he said.

His grin widened as he leaned back in his chair. "Why are you jealous?"

"Jealous? What the fuck does that mean?"

"Her make-up she chose suite her well and what if I was flirting with her. I was fooling around, taunting her and showing her that I'm in control of her life and she doesn't have a saying on it and you're not in the position to question me or use that language towards me. You got it little brother." His dark eyes seemed to pierce through him as his smile faded into a frown.

"I didn't mean to but… but it's just weird."

"Well I have my reasons and we were close when we were little. It's not like that kind of relationship between Kagome and I is ever coming back."

"Relationship?"

"You know. Where I play the role of the ideal big brother, being nice, protecting her, and laughing with her. That little relationship will never come back so why are you worried? Did Kikyo order you to get information out of me?"

"She was just worried that you were going to be spend your time with Kagome like before." A chuckle escaped Bankotsu's lips as he looked out the window.

"Since you're playing a the messenger boy than tell Kikyo to mind her own damn business." Hiten rested his chin on the palm of his hand as the thought of Bankotsu being nice to his foolish sister popped into his mind. It was something that would anger Kikyo and even himself. They both hated Kagome and they would do anything to make her suffer as much as Kagome made them suffer.

"Hey Bankotsu." Hojo walked passed the squealing girls rooted by the door and walked toward them. "You know that girl you were walking with?"

"You mean Kagome, my little sister." Bankotsu corrected as Hiten cocked an eyebrow.

"Yeah. There's been an accident in one of the classes. Your sister's in the infirmary."

"The infirmary? What is she doing in there?" He immediately stood up at the news. It was unlike him to react like that and Hiten didn't fail to notice the sudden interest. So what if she was hurt? So what if she was dead? It really didn't make any difference to Hiten and the news shouldn't have made Bankotsu react in such a way.


Inuyasha sat on the chair placed beside the bed as the nurse crossed examined the shelves filled with various bottles of pills. She was shuffling through the shelves for quite a while and he was getting impatient.

Medicine bottles dropped on the floor as the nurse knelt down and fumbled to pick them up. Twitching his brows furiously at the clumsy nurse his patience blew up in smokes.

"What the hell is wrong with her?" The woman dropped the bottles at the sudden reaction and continued to pick them up again.

"You should calm down Mr. Yoshima."

"I was clam for almost 15 minutes and you haven't said a word. All you did was put your hand on her forehead and went to the shelf. What's wrong with her?"

The woman stood up and placed the bottles of medicine back in the shelf. "Exhaustion and lack of proper nutrition. She's not eating well or not eating at all. So I'm going to get her something from the cafeteria and locate some aspirin. Please watch over her while I'm away." She exited the room as Inuyasha's eyes followed her out.

"You're hungry?" He shook his head and gently placed a hand on her forehead, making sure not to wake her. "Idiot. Known you for a year now and your already causing me trouble." His hand streamed through her hair and he smiled. "But I don't mind taking care of an idiot because I'll protect you."

"Pathetic." Inuyasha turned toward the doorway and he glared instantly as his older brother walked into the room.

"What the hell are you doing here?"

He ignored him and walked toward Kagome with a monotone expression on his face. As he stood beside his younger brother, he tilted his head to the side and sighed. "Pathetic."

Inuyasha curled his hand into a fist as Sesshomaru continuously stared at the sleeping girl on the bed. "Get out. If she's so pathetic to look at than get out."

"I didn't mean her. I meant you." He moved his hand toward Kagome but was stopped mid-way by Inuyasha who gripped his wrist into a halt.

"Don't touch her Sesshomaru." They faced each other straight on as they glared at each other. Inuyasha wasn't fazed by the stern look on his face as he tightened his hold on Sesshomaru's wrist. "You're not going to touch her."

"You say you're going to protect her but you don't even know that she's already hurt." He was dumbstruck as Inuyasha raised a brow.

"What are you-" He whipped his hand out of his younger brother's grasp and smirked as he placed his hand on Kagome's stomach. Before Inuyasha could react to his action Sesshomaru revealed her bare stomach.

"I only met her yesterday and I found out. You've been with her for a year. Pathetic." Inuyasha stared wide-eyed at the many scars which some were fairly fresh. How could such a thing get passed him? Why didn't he ask more questions when he discovered bruises on her face? These questions were running through his thoughts and it soon averted as someone entered the room.

"There's my precious little sister." Bankotsu walked toward the two boys and immediately stopped in place as the scars laid on his sister stomach was exposed. "Well I'm here to get my sister. So move aside." His worries deepened as the nurse entered the room and Bankotsu pushed passed Inuyasha and Sesshomaru and pulled Kagome's shirt down, covering the scars completely.

"You must be Bankotsu." The woman that held a bottle of aspirin in one hand and a wrapped sandwich in the other said as she set the items down on the counter near by. She took the clipboard on the desk and started to write and a few seconds later she handed it to Hiten. "This is to excuse you two to take your sister home. Take the sandwich and medicine and make sure she eats." Hiten compiled as he grabbed the two items and nodded.

"Of course. We'll take care of her now." Bankotsu smiled as he turned and tucked his arm under Kagome's legs and cradled her shoulders with the other.

"Wait. You can't take her, she has cu-" Inuyasha was stopped by Sesshomaru who shot him a glare that told him to 'shut up and keep quiet if you know what's good for you'.

"Thank you for everything." With a polite bow, Bankotsu exited the room followed by Hiten seconds later.

Inuyasha stood there waiting for Sesshomaru to explain why he suddenly glared but he just walked out of the room. He new Sesshomaru to well that he wasn't going to say nothing to his actions and he just bit his bottom lip as he left. "Who the hell did that to you Kagome?"


"Kotsu-Kun? Can you make me slice apples when we get home?" Kagome held Bankotsu's neck tightly as they continued to walk through there neighborhood.

"You're a smart girl when you're around the adults but you let your guard down when it comes to me. It is 'Can you prepare slice apples when we arrive at our destination'." He said in a sarcastic tone. Kagome quickly caught the joke and giggled heartily.

"That's funny big brother." Her laughter dissipated slowly and evenly as she rested his cheek against his shoulder. It was hard to think that this same hilarious Bankotsu could quickly snap into a monster. One second he was nice and once she said something wrong he would quickly change into someone else. Someone that was scary, controlling and angry. "Big brother?"

"What is it?"

"Do you hate me?"

"Of course not. You're my precious little sister. I would never hate you or hurt you."

Kagome smiled as she tightened his hold around his neck. "Really? You would never hurt me?"

"I love you Kagome. I would never hurt you."

"I love you Kotsu-kun."


It was strange that for the first time she didn't jerk up in bed from a nightmare. She smoothly opened her eyes from the light that cracked through the curtains and slowly sat up. I love you Kotsu-kun.

It was a sweet dream and yet that dream was just a memory. A memory that seemed to unbelievable to think it was a memory but it was. Those sweet and peaceful days always flooded into her mind when she was alone. How her childhood and memories were much calmer back than, than now.

"You're finally awake." Bankotsu entered her room and sat on a chair that was perched beside her bed.

"What happened?"

"You fainted. I picked you up from the infirmary and I carried you home."

"Inuyasha." She muttered.

"Inuyasha? Is that a friend of yours?"

"Not really." It was stupid how she could say a boys name in the house, right in front of her brother. That would be one of the biggest mistakes she could make and that mistake would have left her on the floor right about now but he just sat there.

"He better not be your boyfriend." He said after a long silence.

"No! Of course not! It's one of your rules. I would never break any one of them." She winced as his hand laid upon her cheek. His thumb stroked her cheek and the corner of her mouth raised in delight.

"That's right. That is one of my rules but what is rule number one." He reached into his pocket with his free hand and took out a jagged object. She didn't really make out the object because her eyes were too focused on his malicious smirk plastered on his face. As the object was placed lightly on her cheek, her heart sped rapidly.

"To never reveal the scars and bruises to anyone." The pocketknife gently slid down to her neck. It was terrifying to feel the cold metal placed on her neck and tears started to gather in her eyes.

"That's right. You must know why this knife is placed on your neck right?"

"Did someone see-"

"Bingo. You are a smart girl. So you know what that leads up to right?" Tears streamed down her chin as he took his hand off of her damped cheek and slightly lifted her shirt.

"But I didn't know. I was asleep. Please Bankotsu it wasn't my fault. Please." He lunged toward him and gripped the front of his shirt as if she was holding on for dear life.

"Kagome. There's no use on attaching yourself to me like that. Now let go."

"Please! Don't hurt me anymore Kotsu-kun! You're not him, You're not my Kotsu-kun. You were never him! My Kotsu-kun disappeared along time ago and I want him back. Please come back." Her tears couldn't stop falling. It was to hard to stop, her heart and her words prevented her from doing so. She clutched his shirt tighter as he placed his hand on her shoulders and nudged her off of him.

"He never disappeared Kagome. That little Kotsu-kun play was an act. I just wanted to be your ideal brother so when we got older I could hurt you." Her hands loosened and she dropped them to the side.

"Ideal brother?" She muttered. "An act? No! You've been so nice to me when Kyo left. I want Kyo back. I want big brother back home." He laughed at her plead and sighed.

"Kyo is never coming back. Your big brother Kyo is to busy with work to think about the family. That is why he left you with out telling you anything. Kyo was disowned from the family when he decided to ignore the family business and follow his own dreams. He left home to become a photographer; he chose his camera over you because he didn't want you."

"That's not true. Kyo…He loved me and protected me and-"

"He was just like me. I took care of you before and look how I turned out. Kyo will never come back. He'll never save you from this nightmare."


"Kyo." Kagome whispered. She looked out the window, tuning out her teacher who yelled at the class because of there obscene behaviors. It didn't involved her so she didn't bother to hear the verbal abuse she gave to the class. She received enough abuse yesterday and she didn't need to hear that. She added 5 more scars to her many collections on her stomach and she placed he r hand on her wounds and sighed. She didn't want to think about the pass but if it involved Kyo, she would immediately jump into the past without any hesitation.

Kyo Higurashi, up and left when he turned 15. Kagome was 8-years-old at the time and when her mother died she knew she would see her older brother at the funeral but he never did show up. Naraku and Kyo never got along. Kyo was the cocky type of person who wanted things done his way and Naraku was just there to glare at him. Kyo was the oldest out of the 5 and he managed to control the siblings and put them in order when they got out of hand. He was a blessing to have because he was always there for Kagome.

He was smart, kind, and loved spending time with his younger sister. It was hard when he left in a flash with out saying a word. No one told Kagome what was happening and never wanted to tell her anything about Kyo's sudden disappearance. He was just out of the picture.

A tap on her shoulder was felt and she turned her head. "Um- Hi?" She said with an awkward tone.

"Everyone left." The girl said as she stared at Kagome with a confused look on her face. She darted her head around the empty classroom and smiled sheepishly.

"Oh. I was kind of daydreaming. Well thanks for snapping me back into reality. I better leave."

"My names Sango Kishito. Nice to meet you Kagome." She smiled.

"You know me?"

"I figured as much. I've been in your class ever since school started." Honestly Kagome didn't even notice anyone instead of Inuyasha and her annoying siblings who caught everyone's attention. She didn't bother to learn any names or even remembered faces.

"Nice to meet you but I have to go." She packed up her stuff and headed toward the door.

"But wait. Do you mind if I come alo-" A sudden shriek went through the halls and Kagome rushed toward the door and looked out the door. She rolled her eyes at the scene of girls gathering in the corridor and sighed.

"I bet it must be Hiten or Bankotsu." She said as she went back into the classroom, not interested in the riot.

"It's not them." Sango stated with a smile.

"It's a new hottie. He transferred yesterday. He has this stern look on his face and he's really hot. If Miroku wasn't my boyfriend I would have been a part of that squealing and screaming crowd of girls." She giggled and walked toward Kagome.

"Really?"

"Yeah. I would have been screaming out his name and begging for a date." She sarcastically said with a laugh.

"I never meant that. I meant, is there really a new transfer?"

"Yeah. His name is Sesshomaru. The totally new hottie of Ryokishiba High. Every girls dream man."


There you go. Now the next chapter is about Kagome and Sesshomaru and Inuyasha..lol. Well I hope you like it and about kyo. I had to put an OC in here because I was thinking about putting Koga as the older brother but it didn't really work out because I needed him for another situation in the fic. So please bare with me. I hope you don't get mad. Don't flame me for putting a OC but thanks for the reviews. Feel free to review if you liked the chapter… Thankies.
