"You went over board mother. I didn't notice the bruises last night but her face it-"

"That's what I forgot to bring up when you came back son. I'm rather disappointed on how you took hold of the situation when Kagome had escape. You lied to me by saying that everything was okay and you kept it from me." Wataru sat across from her mother as shock swept his face.

"You knew about-"

"Why would you think I hit her? She clearly disobeyed one simple rule and that's staying locked up in that room but you. Did you Wataru, have anything to do with her escape."

"Of course not. I wouldn't even want her to escape. I came home and she was gone, that's it I didn't help her." His mother as always sipped her tea quite slowly. The silence that brewed around them was unnerving, his mother's calm expression was more nerve wracking but he kept his composure as she looked up at her son.

"Did something happen today with the tutor? Did he notice anything or asked any questions about the current circumstances with the lock doors and her face. It seems that something's bothering you son."

"We don't need to worry about the tutor. I fired him." His mother's eyes flinched as she departed the cup away from her lips and onto the table. He didn't know why such an expression showed so suddenly but as she searched her pocket and took out a phone, she soon shook her head.

"You can't do that Wataru. I'm calling Sesshomaru right now, you shouldn't have just acted so rationally without my consent."

"But mother! You can't-"

"Wataru. Don't you raise your voice at me. You wanted Kagome to have a tutor and now that I got her one and you fired him I don't think so…. I've made a deal with the college he goes to that he teaches that child for the course of 2 months and if I just fire him, how do you think that makes me look. Sesshomaru is the top of his class and he's a well-known and liked student toward all the teachers at his university. If I just fire him just like that it will look bad for me as well as your chances in getting in the university of my choosing. So what ever happened that cause you to fire him, you just better get use to it because he's going to come back tomorrow." It took so much to stay quiet through his mother's reasoning but biting his bottom lip wasn't enough to keep his mouth shut. He stood up abruptly and slammed his hands on the table to protest.

"Mother! I won't stand for this! I want him out and-"

"I got what you wanted. Now be happy with it or I'm taking Kagome out of this house and-"

"Out of this house?"

"Seeing that I can't send her to jail. I'll just send her to somewhere worse like your uncle Naraku for instance."

"Naraku?"

"Yes. He lives close by so you can visit Kagome all you want but I'm giving you a chance to let her stay here safe and sound. You know how your uncle can get when a disobedient child like her is around a person like him. He is impatient and the way she acts towards me, with her loud mouth and her wants and needs, she'll defiantly find more bruises coming to her. So Wataru. It's your choice, let the tutor do his job or let my reputation be smudge and send Kagome to her dear Uncle." There was nothing to say to this, as Wataru calmly sat down, his mother immediately smiled.

His uncle had anger issues ever since his wife ran out on him. He was left with two sons, Bankotsu and Hiten, both near the age of 17. Wataru visited his uncle once and he first noticed that his uncle always glared at him. But he ignored it and as he met his two sons he was even more disappointed when they to held a scowl. The house was depressing and imagining Kagome in that house just made all his anger disappear in a puff of smoke.

"Fine but can you at least let Ryo watch over them."

"Of course. Anything for you my dear son."

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Lying on her stomach with her face flat into the pillow she sighed as it soon muffled. She was bored as hell with the chains just weighing her down. It was the most depressing day of her whole life as the only person that was there for her was now gone. She just couldn't believe that he wasn't coming back and with that thought she sighed once again.

"Stupid Wata-" Her words were immediately swallowed as the click of a door was heard. Her muscles tensed for a moment, footsteps were heard and she just placed her face in the pillow.

"Lady Kagome. You must eat." Ryo's voice quickly shot her head up and a glare met with his worried eyes. She could admit that this butler cared for her more than her lame cousin but she was too sad to eat. She was too mad to even put on a smile for him and that's when she slammed her face back into the pillow.

"Leave me alone Ryo. I don't want to eat."

"But my lady you must. You'll starve if you don't eat now. Lady Kagura say if you don't eat now, you'll never have a chance to eat until tomorrow in the afternoon." It was a good threat seeing that it was still early in the afternoon but that wasn't a good enough warning to ease her pain. Food was always a comfort to her when she was sad but now, it wasn't enough.

"Who cares? Kagura can just go to hell as well as Wataru. I hate them both and I won't eat that food."

"Wataru loves cooking for you Kagome. He cares about you and he protects you."

"That's a lie. He hurts me by chaining me up and he doesn't understand me at all." The pillow in her face muffled her words but it was still understandable. The bed creaked as Ryo sat beside her and placed his hand on her shoulder. She didn't budge but just listened as he continued to explain.

"It was either that or go to an orphanage. He fought so hard with his mother to bring you here and this was the only way. Even though it maybe cruel that you're chained up but I'm chained up as well."

"You could have just abandoned this stupid job. You're not like me. I don't have a choice but to stay here. I hate it and you can just go with your life if you wanted to but you chose to stay here with them."

"It does seem that way but I owe Kagura my life. As much as I think I want to be free, something inside just chains me to that woman. The regret of leaving would take me in as well as the money I owe. She keeps me by her side because of the large amounts of money I owe; in truth I was a criminal. As a child I stole jewelry and money to try and live my life. My parents had abandoned me on the streets so I had to take my life into my own hands by stealing. I was ultimately caught one day but lady Kagura took me in and paid for the large amounts of jewelry and money I had stolen. So to work that off I had to be her servant but you. You're lucky because even though you're chained up, you have master Wataru to look after you. He sacrificed a lot, with his constant studying to make his mother happy and his after school cooking classes."

"Cooking classes? What are you talking about?"

"The food and the desserts you've eaten ever since you came here. He prepared it all for you. He's been taking cooking lessons on the side behind his mother's back and I've been teaching him as well. So please make him happy and eat the shrimp he's prepared for you." Kagome turned over on her back and sat up to look at the beautiful decorated plate that now laid on her lap. Tempura shrimp was her favorite dish as well as the oh so famous oden. She didn't imagine that the heart-cold Wataru could have made all of her delectable dishes but still. As much as Wataru had sacrificed for her, she couldn't just forgive him.

"Fine. I'll eat it but tell him it taste disgusting and I'm forcing myself to shove it down my throat." Ryo smiled as she took a bite out of the shrimp. He could have sworn a slight 'yum' had escape her lips but the glare on her face soon made that word evaporate. She was a childish girl that seemed to always stand strong to what ever was thrown at her but with a sigh Ryo spoke once again.

"I have good news for you Kagome."

"Good news?" She inquired.

"You're tutor, Sesshomaru. He' s coming back tomorrow afternoon."

"To-Tomorrow." She stuttered. She dropped her fork with a clatter following through as it hit the plate. How could he be coming back? She thought but she just quickly shrugged the thought away as her ears perched up to listen.

"Yes. It seems that Wataru doesn't want the tutor back but Kagura took care of that. With some kind of negotiation, Kagura had decided to bring him back but I'll be there to watch over you two."

The word 'watch' seemed to faze her a bit but she paid no mind to it. As long as she could see him again it wasn't the time to be complaining. Yeah she'll have a watchdog keeping an eye on them but the happiest thing that stuck to her mind was that he was coming back.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

"I see your bruises had lightened." Sesshomaru took his seat as his gaze fell upon Kagome who had a smile plastered on her face. It was kind of awkward stepping into this room again but he got use to it as he took out 2 textbooks, placing it in front of her.

"Yeah."

"So I'll be teaching you about Biology. Before I start what does Biology mean?" Sesshomaru flipped through the textbook, looking for the right page to the lesson he was going to lecture on about. Kagome how ever just cocked an eyebrow. He was acting like the first time she had met him, composed, closed up and boring.

"Why don't you tell me?" He shot a glare at the smart aleck remark and a growl slipped out.

"Smart ass. If you don't-"

"I hate this place." The sharp words that came out of her mouth took his full attention. As loud of a person she was, he didn't expect her to say that. It lost him for a moment as he folded his hands under his chin and smirked.

"Are you suggesting that we run away together?"

"N-No I didn't s-say that."

"You're not saying it but you are suggesting it. Am I right? Admit it. You were hopelessly lost without me." His cocky attitude bit Kagome in the butt as her whole depressing mood flipped. She was certain that he was making fun of her but why not have that same fun with a little argument. He hated the sound of her voice so why not amplify it.

"Yeah right. I wasn't lost at all. I was completely happy when you left so there. Did it sting your pride? Sessho-Kun."

"Sessho-kun. Didn't I tell you to stop calling me that slave?"

"Oh I'm sorry but I thought I told you to stop calling me that as well. What am I supposed to call you than Sessho-Kun?" She smirked and felt a sigh of relief burst out of her. It has been a while since they argued and it brang her back for a moment. Though as she was expecting a furrowed brow from him, he remained smiling.

"I expect you to call me master…slave."

"Master my butt. You're full of it and stop smiling at me it's creeping me out." She pouted and turned her head away from him. She crossed her arms and heaved out an irritable sigh. There goes that childish behavior and that made Sesshomaru shook his head with a smile still on his face.

"Biology is the study of life so do you want to learn about Biology or Math you idiot."

"How about Sesshology?" Kagome almost let out a burst of laughter but quickly caught herself as he raised a brow. He knew the girl was slow and can act like a child but that was just going to far and with a sigh. He stooped so low as to ask:

"What the hell is Sesshology?"

"Well Bio means life and logy means study of, right? So for a college guy you are as slow as I am. But Sesshology is the study of Sesshomaru." Kagome giggled as his brows furrowed into a fire of hells glare. It was absolutely ridiculous but the smile on her face was uplifting in a way.

"So you want to know something about me?"

"Y-Yeah. I would want to learn more about you than biology." She leaned forward eager to listen to his life story but as he leaned back and smiled again, she was wary to what he was about to say. His whole mood of just opening up to her just like that was out there but she just eagerly listened.

"My mother's a hor, my father's stupid enough to stay with her and my so called brother is the eye of death. My families crap, the people in my school are worthless for looking up to me and I killed someone. Is that what you wanted to hear?" He said it so smoothly that it was hard to believe that it was a lie. He held a smile as he looked at the smile on her face fading slowly. He was absolutely wrong about her and with that expression he hung his arm freely to the side.

"You're so quiet. What happen? Did the news just took hold of you and prevented you to talk or are you afraid of me? Are you afraid that if you get close to me you'll just hear more terrible news? I killed someone and now that I told you, you become this enclosed doll, not wanting to hear any of it. Sesshology to much for you Kagome?" Her eyes that were unnoticeable wide with shock soon softened as she reached for his hand. His eyes just followed her arm that was moving closer to his dangling arm but as she was about to take hold of it. Her wrist was immediately clasped and she was pulled into a kiss. It was unexpected but he quickly pulled away and looked at her.

"Sesshomaru. I don't care what you did in the past. You must have a good explanation to kill someone but-"

"I didn't have a good explanation I just did it. So why are you still attached to me?"

"What are you saying-"

"Why can't I possible let you go?" His hand that tangled in her hair, pulled her closer for a kiss but as there lips were about to attach a disruption came from the door way.

"So this is why my son wanted you to leave." Sesshomaru who just smiled at the voice as if he was expecting it, looked at her. With the old hag holding a pleasing smile as well, Kagome felt Sesshomaru's hand on her thigh, she looked down and than looked back at him.

"Take it." He whispered. Kagome placed her hand on top of the cell phone that he held in his hand and stealthily put it in her own pocket. Her mind was lost for a minute, she didn't know what he was thinking but as he stood up and put the books away, he slung his bag over his shoulder.

"Sesshomaru Taisho, the renowned student at Tokyo University is in love with my idiot of niece. How awkward but you know what it means right? Not only that you're fired but I'm also informing the head chairmen of the university, that you were screwing around with your student."

"Aunty-"

"Shut up Kagome! Leave Mr.Taisho and never come back again." He nodded his head and smiled at Kagome as if saying 'don't worry everything's going to be okay.' Sesshomaru put a hand on her shoulder and with that he left the room. The phone in her pocket was the only thing that connected them now. There was no way that he was ever coming back to see her and now her heart depended on this phone.

Her mind trailed off and she immediately took her hand out of her pocket and stared up at her aunt. She still held a malicious smile on her face; she gripped a hand full of her hair and led her out of the study room, dragging her behind like a doll. She wasn't going up the stairs like she thought she was going to go but they passed it and went into the kitchen.

As she continued to grip her hair and drag her along, Kagura went to the phone on the kitchen counter and put it up to her ear. With Kagome's hair still tangled in her aunt's hand, she stood beside her as she punched in some numbers. Kagura forced Kagome to get on her knees and as the phone continued to ring she looked down at the girl.

"I don't want you in my house anymore. You need to be controlled and I'm not the right person to handle such a burden. My son will hate me now for doing this but he'll get over it."

As she finished a 'hello' turned her attention to the phone. "It's Kagura. I can't keep this child anymore. I'm sick of it and I want you to take care of the child."

"I hope you're talking about Kagome and not that son of yours."

"Of course brother. I'm talking about Kagome so are you coming or what?" There was hesitance for a while but with a sigh he finally reply.

"Of course I'll take her in. I'll treat her like she was my own daughter."

"Pick her up as soon as possible. I don't want Wataru to find out but thanks a lot Naraku."

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Okay there you go. Hoped you like it. Well I'll see ya'll later got to do some home work.
