Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha

Kagome sighed and bowed her head.

"Kagome, tell me! Who did this to you?"

"Errrg!" she sighed and jumped up. "Why do you care!?" She cried angrily.

"Because," he replied.

"Because is not an answer."

"It doesn't matter. What matters is the bastard that hurt you. Now just tell me who did it."

"I…it's none of your concern."

"The hell it isn't." he yelled.

"Inuyasha please, just let it go." Kagome raked a hand through her hair and looked at the clock. She then fixed her eyes on Inuyasha's.

"I know you want to tell me. I can see it in your eyes. Please, I can help you."

Kagome lowered her gaze. "You can't help me."

"Kagome, I can help you! My brother, he's the chief of the police unit in town. If you just tell me who did this to you."

Kagome's eyes turned cold. "What!" her hands balled into fists. "You brother is the police chief! Chief Sesshoumaru?"

"Yes, why." he could see the hate in her eyes.

Kagome formed a scowl and began to pace back and forth. "Oh my god, this must be a set up! He knew about my plans, he knew I was going to get a defense trainer. But how!" she asked herself.

"Kagome?" Inuyasha asked.

Kagome continued to pace, unaware that he said anything. "He must have installed cameras and voice recorders in the house. Oh, that son of a bitch!" she screamed.

"Kagome! Calm down." he reached for her.

She jumped away and drew up her fists. "You, stay the hell away from me. You can tell Naraku to go to hell! He'll never touch me again!"
"What are you talking about? Is that the guy's name? Naraku?"

"Like you don't know!"

"I don't. I have no idea what you're talking about, Kagome."

"Yeah sure. Just like you don't know that Naraku paid off your brother, just so he wouldn't get arrested for braking my jaw last year."

"…what?" Anger began to rise in Inuyasha. "Sesshoumaru did what!?"

"He took a bribe from my disgusting husband, so Naraku wouldn't be charged with assault."

"My brother…he would, he could never do something like that!" Inuyasha cried.

"Oh well, he did." Kagome laughed. "Don't pretend like you didn't know. This whole thing must be a setup." Kagome slowly sank into the chair and closed her eyes. "But I will never go back to that house again. As long as I have breath in my body, I will never step foot in there."

"Kagome…" Inuyasha knelt in front of her. "Listen, I honestly did not know that my brother took money from your husband, and I can assure you that this is not a setup. I would never do anything to hurt you."

Kagome shook her head. "It's happened before. I don't know if I can trust you."

"Please, let me help you." He stood up and walked into a room. When he came out, he carried a pillow and a blanket.

"What are you doing?"

He threw them onto the couch. "I'll sleep in here for tonight, and you can take the bed."

"Inuyasha, please. I couldn't."

"Well you are, and you will." He pushed her into the bedroom and gestured to the bed. "I put clean sheets on it, and there's a ceiling fan if you want to use it. He turned to walk out.

"Inuyasha?" she said.

"Yeah?" he turned around to face her, and for an instant he felt the need to hold her in his arms.

"Thank you…" she looked towards the floor and he left the room.

Miroku looked longingly at the telephone. "Call please. Come on, call!" he said angrily.

When the phone did not do as he asked, he threw it at the wall. "Kagome, where are you?"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was a quarter to twelve and Naraku paced in the living room. 'She isn't foolish enough to stay away from home. If she's jumped states, I'll find her. Just like last time.' Just then memories of Kagome's brother Kouga, flashed into his mind. 'Whoever you're with Kagome, I'll kill him just as I killed your brother.' he thought to himself, smiling mischievously.
