Koji looked at the waiter, scowling. "No, there's no problem. My girlfriend and I were just leaving. There's some rotten company in the room. Let go of her, Naraku."

"I'll bring her home later, Koji. After all, I am her father."

"Back off, mutt. We have things to discuss with her," Bankotsu shoved Koji back at the waiter before Naraku hoisted Sarah over his shoulder and ran.

"Call the police!" Koji called, running after them as soon as he caught his balance.

"Koji!" Sarah called, panic jumping at her throat. She grabbed Naraku's hair and pulled it as she sent little shocks up his skull. He hissed and growled at her as he set her in the car.

"Stop, Naraku!" Koji yelled, running right up to the car. Naraku went to smirk but felt a hand wrap around his neck.

"Don't you dare touch Koji." Her hand started to burn his neck so he grasped her wrist and roughly yanked it foreward. She yelped as she felt her should pop and what felt like muscles tearing. Dazed from the pain, she wasn't able to defend herself when he brought the side of his hand down hard on the juncture of her neck. Her eyes widened before they glazed and she passed out.

Koji growled and lunged at Naraku, only to have Bankotsu block him, sending them both sprawling. Naraku eased himself into the car and started pulling out, waiting for Bankotsu to join him.

Koji had Bankotsu in a reverse pin hold and was working on trying to knock him out. Bankotsu was able to squirm out of the hold, only to dash into the car. Koji jumped up but was too late to see where the car went. He could have used his sense of smell if the exhaust of cars didn't immediately dilute the scent of that bastard, Naraku.

He growled and ran back to the restaurant to make sure they called the police. All he could do was wait and pray she was safe. He called his parents and refused their offer to tell Sarah's. She was his responsibility that night and he'd let them down. It was a hard phone call, but he made it and waited for them and the police.


"It's just like before, Sesshomaru," Kagome said, hugging herself. "We should have sent for a body guard."

"She'll be alright. She's strong. We have to believe she's better than Naraku," Sesshomaru comforted, although the same thoughts clouded his mind.

"I'm sorry I couldn't stop them. I panicked and-" Koga placed a hand on his son's shoulder and stopped him.

"It's not your fault. Don't put that kind of blame on yourself."

"I should have been able to stop him, Dad. There's no excuse!" he said and stomped his foot before pacing.

"He's terrified for her," Ayame said, stepping over from talking to the police. "He'll be fine as soon as we get Sarah back. The police have called in the special forces."

"Special forces?" Koji asked.

"Police demons that can figure out some of the odder cases. In this case, considering all possible outcomes, a demon is in the equation, which means the special forces are called in."

Koji nodded and watched as Kagome looked over at the police, hopeful of some sort of clue to Sarah's whereabouts. Her daughter was in serious trouble, being with the two most stressful and feared people in her life, both at once. She held tightly to Sesshomaru's hand and allowed herself to imagine all the cruel things the two men would be doing to her baby. She automatically placed a hand on her stomach to protect the child inside.


Sarah woke up in in a daze. Her arm screamed, head spun, and she had no clue or remembrance as to where she was. She sat up, her red dress wrinkled and a mess, and looked around before she felt the weight on her neck. Bringing a hand up, she gasped. It was a metal neck brace with a chain that connected her to the wall behind her.

"What the hell?" she recalled what happened, letting the fury take over her fears for now. She looked around her and stiffened when she realized this was the nook she was kept in in her dreams.

It was a small room, with nothing but the bed and chain, and a small table-side bed. She didn't want to know why they took her here. She just wanted to get out and make sure Koji was okay.

"So, you've awakened."

Sarah's head whipped over to Naraku as he stood in the now open doorway. He wore a simple purple dress shirt, no tie, and black slacks, along with a pair of slippers. She must have been there a while if he was dressed so comfortably.

"What do you want, you son of a-" she growled when he was suddenly in front of her and holding her up on her knees by the chain.

"Temper, temper, dear daughter. You'll find out soon enough what we have planned for you, but for now, be a good girl, and don't try to escape," he reached behind her with his opposite hand and was soon holding the end of her chain. "Follow me."

Sarah snarled, but did as told. It was all she could do for now. As she held her sore arm, Naraku lead her into his sitting room and made her sit beside him, much like a good dog would. They were soon joined by Bankotsu who grinned maniacally at her.

"Finally, Sarah, you're being treated like the bitch you are."

"Shut up, Bankotsu! At least I come from good breeding, you lousy-" she choked when Naraku tugged on the chain.

"Be quiet, whelp. We are the ones with authority here."

Sarah growled again and struggled to break the neck clasp. When that didn't work, she tried to purify it, only to find her powers were neutralized. Her eyes widened.

"Your abilities won't work as long as I have you in that collar. It neutralizes any special abilities." Naraku smirked when he saw the flicker of fear cross her eyes before the anger took over again.

"As soon as I get out of this, you're dead."

"You wouldn't have the guts to kill us," Bankotsu said, throwing his legs over the side of the chair and leaning back.

"Take this off and try me," her eyes were tinted red.

Naraku smirked. "She's more like me than I could ever imagine." He watched as she paled and became sickened.

"What do you guys want from me?"

Bankotsu smirked and moved to kneal before her. Cupping her chin in his hand, he leaned in so their mouths were a breath apart. She was shaking, but she held his gaze.

"We want to make your parents pay. The best way to do that, is with you," he closed his lips over hers and grasped her wrist as she went to slap him. "Tsk, tsk. You're my toy now, Sarah, and I demand respe-ack!" he exclaimed as she spit between his eyes.

"You were saying?" she was suddenly dangling in the air by her new metal collar. Bakotsu was obviously annoyed but he continued to smirk as she struggled and gasped.

"You're disposable, Sarah. Be good and be useful if you want to live. And don't ever try that again, or I'll rip your tongue out."

Sarah sucked in air as soon as she hit the ground again. Glaring, she watched both men chuckle as she caught her breath. Her arm screamed again.

"And tonight, you're going to be a special servant for a few guests tonight. If you don't behave, we'll have to go find Koji and-"

"Don't! Whatever you do, don't hurt him, or my family... please, I'll listen to you!" she begged, panic flooding her systems.

"Excellent," Naraku chuckled and couldn't wait to see her face when she realized what she'd be serving the guests in.


Kagome's morning sickness was nothing compared to how ill she'd gotten from worrying about her daughter. The doctor had ended up giving her a mild sedative to make sure she didn't stress the pup within her womb.

Sesshomaru let Ayame stay with Kagome as he ventured downstairs to talk to Koga and their sons. It was time to figure out a plan to find Sarah. The cops would make a move, but not soon enough and not without following procedure. That was just too long a wait. Walking into the parlor, he watched Koji growling at nothing and Koga pacing. Before he had a chance to start the planning, a loud and enraged half-demon barged in.

"What the hell were you thinking, letting her go out with that wolf's son!"

"There's nothing wrong with my son, you mangy mutt! Take it back!" Koga growled at Inuyasha.

"Cut it out, both of you! Arguing won't help Sarah, Dad. And I was up against Naraku. I was somewhat disorientated by him and that Bankotsu bastard, so it wasn't entirely my fault. Now stop acting like children and start thinking like adults. I want Sarah back, now," Koji fumed standing up, his fists clenched at his sides.

Inuyasha growled and snorted before looking over at his brother. "So, what are we going to do, Sesshomaru?"

"We won't catch her scent in the city, and it's unlikely that Naraku will keep her at his place. We should check out wherever Bankotsu lives. The police have probably thought of the same, but we have to start somewhere. We'll see if we can pick up a scent."

"That's pathetic, Sesshomaru! She's your daughter!" Inuyasha yelled before he was held up against the wall by his neck.

"Yes, she is, brother. And as her father, there's only one person who could love her as much as I do, and that's her mother. Unfortunately, Kagome isn't able to help us right now as she's fallen ill with worry, but I assure you that I'm going to do everything in my power to get her back. Do you understand, Inuyasha?" Sesshomaru's eyes were tinted red with fury. Inuyasha nodded, or tried to in his current position and growled at his brother when he was dropped.

"That's what you get, mutt."

"Shut up, wolf."


Sarah growled at the attire that was set on the bed of her new room. She'd been brought to an unfamiliar place soon after her last argument with her kidnappers. They blindfolded her and put on loud music that hurt all of their ears, but she was brought to a place at least an hour away, maybe even more. But she was now in her new room, wearing nothing more than her bra, panties, and the now chain-less collar, staring down at one very provocative outfit.

It was a skin tight, red leather jumpsuit, only most of the leather was replaced with red fishnet, or lace. The sleeves and the breast cups were all leather, but would stop just below her breasts when she put it on. From there to the tight red short-shorts, was loose matching fishnet. The shorts barely covered her ass and wer almost met by the thigh-high stilettos, which she wasn't sure if she could walk in, with garters next to them. She continued to glare down at the clothes until her "father" walked in. She quickly covered herself and shifted to glare at him.

"Now, now, my dear. I just came to see if you needed help. I have no intention of hurting you... at least not now. Is there something wrong with the outfit?"

"A lot. I'm not wearing that."

"It's that or go naked," he said and quickly snapped the straps on both her bra and panties. She gasped and used the costume to temporarily cover herself as best as she could with one arm. With the collar restraining her abilities, she wasn't healing as fast as she normally would and it made her sudenly very thankful for her yokai blood. "Your choice," he said and started out. She bit her lip and sighed. She would have to go along with what they said for now...

"I don't know if I can walk in those shoes. I'm not used to wearing heels, Naraku." She swallowed her pride and looked up at him. He was smirking at her.

"Try, and if in the end you can't, we'll figure something out." He shut the door behind him and chuckled when he heard the soft sound of her crying.

Sarah was able to compose herself quickly and hurried to put on the outfit, as much as it disgusted her to do so... and as much as it bugged her shoulder to do so. She wanted to gag when she looked herself over in the mirror. She looked like a whore... just like Bankotsu said she was. A whore. With her spirits down, she sat down on the bed to pull on the boots.

Just to add to her luck, Bankotsu barged in and looked her over, grinning when she attempted to ignore his presence. As soon as she secured the second boot, he hauled her up and wrapped his arms around her. She refused to yelp as he ebmraced her bad shoulder and arm.

"You're looking beautiful. I think I want you in my room tonight, pet."

"I'm not your pet, you sick bastard!" she gasped when his eyes seemed to swirl and there was a prick in her back.

A needle! All her thoughts and emotions were scrambling and she would have lost balance if not for his hold.

"Are you feeling well? Maybe you should lay down, love."

"Yeah... I feel... faint," she looked up at him as he laid her on the bed. He smiled down at her and she returned it before falling unconscious. He pet back her hair and took her ripped clothing from off the floor to toss them. She didn't need them, and he didn't want anything to trigger the memories he just tampered with.

He walked down the hall and gasped when he was thrown against the wall.

"You were not told to use the drug, boy. I suggest you start paying attention to my orders you'll be as trapped as she is."

Bankotsu scoffed and stood up. "She just needed the little extra kick to start behaving. I won't give her any more. I swear."

"You'd better not, if you value the freedom you have." And with that, Naraku started for the door, ready to greet his guests.

Sarah woke up later, her mind foggy and messy. She couldn't recall where she was, who she was with, why she was there, or why she wore such an outfit... nor what happened to her shoulder. When the door opened she looked up at a dark haired man.

"Excuse me, but who are you?"

"I'm your father, Lord Naraku. Your injuries must have been worse then I thought," he said with a frown and sat beside her. "You don't remember anything?"

"No, I don't. Who am I, and why am I dressed like this?" Naraku smiled.

"Fujji, Sarah, and you're in costume to serve the men that are waiting. You'll serve saki, show off your curves a bit, and take in some cash. It's not a big deal. And don't worry if the men pinch or grab you a bit. I won't let them go any farther, okay?" she nodded. "Follow me." He lead her away, not letting her see his smirk. She quickly ran her fingers through her hair and tried to remember what happened to make her lose her memories... and why she was wearing a collar.


Sesshomaru, Inuyasha, and Koji were asking around Bankotsu's neighbor's houses. Koga was at home protecting the women, just in case. They'd gotten nothing from the neighbors until Sesshomaru asked the people across the street.

"Look, man, for the last time, I don't even know Ban- the guy that lives there. I hate neighbors."

Sesshomaru caught the lie and immediately shoved the guy into the wall next to the door. His eyes narrowed and he ignored the pleas for his release.

"You will tell this Sesshomaru what you know."

"He left town! He packed up some of his stuff and said he'd be back by the end of the weekend. He was going to some estate of his friends and was going to spend the weekend in bed with some hot half-breed. That's all I know!" he said when Inuyasha growled at him.

"Let him go Uncle Sesshomaru. We know what we need to to get a start," Koji said and started back to the car. Sesshomaru scowled at the peasant and dropped him before dragging his brother off.

"I oughta kill the bastard!" Inuyasha growled.

"Which one?"

"All of them."


Sarah was annoyed and in pain but kept that well hidden from her father. The men were completely wasted and her ass had been pinched too many times to count. Plus, she'd been continuously hauled into peoples laps with her bad arm. She was ready to scream at the next one who touched her, and was quickly pulled aside by Bankotsu. As soon as they left the room, she dropped the smile and sat graciously on the chair Bankotsu pointed to.

"Man, my body hurts. Thanks... Bankotsu, right?" he nodded and she sighed. "Good. I've heard too many names flying across the room tonight to know who's who."

"You'll get used to it. Your father wanted me to get you out of there for a while. It's already been three hours and anyone who hasn't passed out yet will be going home soon."

"Good. My ass is so sore from those jerk-wads. No one could just grope. They had to pinch," she growled and tossed her hair back before seeing Bankotsu lower himself in front of her to peel off the heels. She leaned back, cupped her shoulder, and let him do his thing as he rid her of the awful footwear. "Thanks Bankotsu."

"No problem," he grasped her right foot and started to gently massage it, starting at the lower arch.

Sarah moaned and sighed with relief, but the noises sounded like sex noises and made him hard. Bankotsu smirked and kissed her calf before his hands traveled upward on her feet, roughly molding the skin, not that she was complaining. She could already feel the tension draining out of her. She'd never understood why girls liked foot massages. Probably all of those girls wore heels.

"Oh, Kami! That feels great, Bankotsu."

Everything she said just had to sound sexy.

"You say that every time," he smirked and started smoothing over the bottom of her legs.

"Do I do this stuff a lot?"

"Not really, but I was talking about every foot massage I've given you. They've always been a turn on for you, love."

"Turn on? Love?" she was confused and looked down to see him smiling at her.

"I'm your boyfriend, baby. I'm hoping if I can seduce you, again, that maybe you'll remember me. Any luck so far?" he asked when he noticed her breathing get heavy. She shook her head with a blush. He feigned disappointment.

"I-I guess you'll have to try harder, won't you?" Bankotsu held back a groan as her words went straight to his loins. He couldn't wait to see how she'd do in bed when willing. Kami knows she was a pleasure to rape...


Sesshomaru drove the other two men back to his house and immediately went to check on Kagome. It seemed she was still under the effect of the sedative, which was good. He wanted to have something to tell her when she woke up that could help reassure her and only knowing Bankotsu and Naraku had left the area only made it worse.

He went into the parlor and joined with the men and Ayame. The twins were now there as Ayame had called them to explain the situation before they read it in the paper or saw it on the news. Both were furious and worried, much like their father.

"Why don't we try to figure out a list of the estates Naraku owns and check from there? Or, check city hall and get the main list. Any neighborhood he goes to has to be notified because of his assault charges-"

"That won't work, Raiden, because we don't have that sort of authority," Taro snarled.

"No, we don't. And there lies another problem," Sesshomaru took a seat in the large recliner and crossed his legs.

"What we need to do is track him down. Can't you sick your wolves after the bastard's scent, you mangy wolf?"

"Who you calling mangy, you mutt?!"

"Cut it out!" Koji yelled and stormed out of the room.

Sesshomaru stood and followed him, ignoring his brother and friend as they continued to argue. He followed Koji's scent out to the garden and saw him sitting on the bench, rubbing his hands over his face. He said nothing and sat beside him, staring up at the sky. Tonight would be the perfect night to take Sarah for a ride in the woods, Sesshomaru thought. It's too dark for the paparazzi.

"I'm going to rip them apart when we find him, Uncle Sesshomaru. They have to right to touch-"

"Your woman?" Sesshomaru watched the boy's face fill with blood. "I was just as angry with Naraku when he kidnapped Kagome."

"Why not now?"

"I am. I'm just controlling myself better. Under normal circumstances, I'd let you rip out their throats, Koji, but these men have done my family a great many wrongs, and deserve to pay for it dearly. As angry as you are, you won't win. Anger only weakens the body, unless properly tamed."

Koji growled and grabbed a rock off the ground before upending it into the woods far back from the house at an amazing speed.

"Now, as for your feelings toward my daughter-"

"Let me guess. You're going to give me the 'No one is good enough for my baby' speech?"

"We both know I don't need to, and we both know you've been in love with her since you were both just little children of four and five years of age. Knowing that, I'm not opposed to your courting her, however, I will not let you hurt her. She needs a friend no matter what happens between you two, and to tell you the truth, I believe you're the only friend she's got right now."

Koji was about to object but he thought about it first. She never did say anything about other friends. Maybe a lab partner or such but nothing about another companion. He frowned. It was so obvious, but he'd missed it.

"I won't hurt her like that, even if we did... part ways. I've been there for her since we met and I'll continue to be... assuming we get her back," he scrubbed his hands over his face and leaned into Sesshomaru when he placed a hand on his shoulder.

"We will get her back. I swear it."

"Hey! Sesshomaru, get in here. It's the police and they sound pretty sure of themselves!" Inuyasha called and watched both of the demons hurry up and over to the house. Sesshomaru follow Koji into the parlor once more and shook hands with the head officer, watching his partner glare at the ground as if annoyed.

"I'm Tsukuyomaru, the Cheif of the special forces. I took a keen interest in this case considering it concerned both Naraku and a half demon victim."

"What does her being a half-demon half to do with anything?" Inuyasha growled.

"Quiet, Uncle."

"Let him speak." Raiden and Taro spoke as one.

"No, it's alright. I have a half-demon daughter of my own, and I can't imagine what I'd do without her. I also know that even in this day and age, half demons arn't always accepted, especially by the elder demons in society," He watched Sesshomaru's expression soften somewhat with the sympathy. "Now, we have an idea where your daughter might be. There's a resort a bit out of town that until now hadn't been used for quite a while, or so says the power company. I want you to come with us and use your nose to make sure before we can barge in. There are certain stipulations-"

"There's a girl that needs your help and you're saying there are rules that need to be followed or you won't help her?" Koga snarled, his temper up with Inuyasha's.

"'Can't' help her, is more like it. If we don't follow those rules, then there's no way to promise it won't happen again. Now, are you ready to hear those rules, Taisho-san?" Tsukuyomaru asked. He nodded, holding up a hand to silence his friends and family.

"We want to find her and make sure she's safe. If following the rules gets her back, then so be it."

Tsukuyomaru nodded. "You must listen to every order I give. I need your total cooperation." He nodded. "You can't go inside with us, at least not until we've got him in custody. Maybe." Sesshomaru clenched his fists and nodded once more. "You may not talk to the suspect, nor make any sort of gestures that may be considered harrassment. We need your nose, not your wit. Got that?"

"Yes."

"Then come with me. I'll explain what I can on the way. C'mon rookie," he said to his partner who waited by the door. Wth a scowl, they started out of the room.

"Whoa, wait!" Koji ran out with them. "What are we supposed to do? Just sit here and wait? That's not fair!" Tsukuyomaru stepped over and placed a comforting hand on his shoulder.

"I promise I'll do my best to get your friend back. I won't say I understand what it's like to wait, but I hope you won't have to wait long." He turned and started out once more, Sesshomaru on his heels.


Sarah was pulled to her feet and her mouth was fully assaulted by his. Not that she didn't enjoy it, but there was no spark. She'd always thought there was supposed to be something... but maybe that was because of her memory loss.

She wrapped her good arm around his neck and giggled as he lifted her into his arms. He started for his bedroom and ignored the warnings his head gave about what Naraku would do when he found out. He wanted her, and he wanted her now. Though she was in an awkward position, her good arm reaching across to his far shoulder, she wouldn't call it unpleasant. But something didn't feel right. Something told her she shouldn't be going anywhere with Bankotsu, as nice as he was and regardless of there possible relationship.

"Bankotsu-kun, we can't do this. What if my father finds out?" she felt his mouth slobbering over her neck.

"He won't care," his eyes tinted red as he slammed the door behind them. As he went to throw her on the bed, a strange scent caught his nose. She could see his nose twitch a bit as he tried to uncover what it was and where is came from.

He dropped her on the ground and started searching the room. He checked all corners and small spaces, but the smell had dulled... at least until he stood next to Sarah once more.

"You're with child! Did that wolf put his seed in you? Or is it mine?" he wondered allowed and growled. "Either way, this is not acceptable. I'll give you a hand with that!" he laughed maniacally as his hand became clawed and he took a swipe at her chest. He only suceeded in tearing the fishnet along her stomach, leaving her flesh unmarred.

She took her chance and hurried out the door, trying her best to not panic and find the dining room again. She'd rather be pinched then sliced.


Sesshomaru and Tsukuyomaru appearantly had the same track of mind when they shared information. Both had done the same, only to the different suspects houses. When they pulled up to the villa outside of town, Sesshomaru stepped out of the car and sniffed the air. He wasn't quite relieved when he smelt her scent, and Naraku's, both inside and on the ground.

"I can sense my daughter inside."

"I know it's hard, but I have to ask you to stay here with the car. It's for your daughter's own good," Tsukuyomaru said and saw how difficult it was to nod. "We have a warrant, so there's nothing he can do. We'll be back, hopfully with your daughter." He had his partner radio for back-up before moving in.

He knocked on the door, his badge and warrent out and ready to show. His partner held up his own badge and scowled as a butler opened the door.

"May I help you?"

"We're Detectives Eto and Hiro. We have a warrent to search the place. Would do lead us to the head guy?" Tsukuyomaru said, stepping in.

"Of course." And he did. He slid open a door to the side of Naraku and ushered the detectives in just before Sarah ran in and was tackled by Bankotsu.

"Get off! Father!" she screamed as he raised his clawed hand again. Tsukuyomaru jumped over the table and hoisted Bankotsu up... just seconds too late. Sarah lay on the ground, her stomach bleeding and torn open. His partner took hold of Bankotsu and cuffed him before Tsukuyomaru moved and cuffed Naraku.

"You know your rights, don't you?" he asked before quickly moving him outside, ignoring his protests and quickly reading off his rights before shoving him into the car. As soon as he was secured, Tsukuyomaru put on a collar similar to the one Sarah wore and quickly moved to the radio. "I need an ambulance right away. There's a girl, mid-teens, with claw marks slashed into the stomach. She's bleeding heavily and needs imediat attention."

Sesshomaru's eyes widened fractionally before he ran inside. He growled at all of Naraku's guests, who were still laughing and goofing off, and knealt beside his daughter. He bent down and kissed her head for his own comfort.

"Hey, baby girl. It's alright. I'm right here..."

Sarah looked up at him, her eyes glazed over with pain. He grasped her hand and pet back her hair gently before removing his coat and laying it over her.

"Thank you, sir," she attempted to smile up at him but cringed in pain.

Sir? That's strange. What he hell did he do to her? Sesshomaru asked himself, scowling.

"No need. Thank Kami you're alright. I don't know what your mother and I might have done-"

"My mother? Who is she? And who are you, kind stranger?"


Those words ate at him. What could those bastards have done to his baby to make her forget everything? He was in the waiting room with the rest of his family and friends as they waited for Sarah to come out of surgery. Kagome sat on his lap, her face buried in his neck for comfort. She knew her daughter would be alright, and that made her so much better. They'd all been there since Sesshomaru called and had them all meet him at the hospital several hours ago. It was now roughly six o'clock in the morning and they hadn't received any word, good or bad, on Sarah's condition.

"Damn it. I'm going for a walk," Koji said and hurried down the hall to the elevators. Taro and Raiden followed, signaling to Koga to stay with his wife. Inuyasha followed, needing some air to cool down as well.

Koji knew they were behind him and ignored them until Taro and Raiden slapped a hand on each shoulder and pushed him onto one of the benches.

"Waiting sucks."

"But the fact is-"

"The longer it takes-"

"The better the job they're doing."

Koji growled and stood up. "Or the worse shape she's in. This shouldn't have happened in the first place, you guys. I'm supposed to be there for her and I failed. How the hell is she going to trust me again, assuming she makes it-" he was lifted to his feet by both twins grabbing his shirt and hauling him up.

"She's strong-" Raiden started.

"She's young-" Taro added.

"She's your sister." Inuyasha put in. "She's what both of you guys said, and more, she has her mother's blood and her father's will. She'll be fine. What she doesn't need is some sniveling kid to go up and say they're sorry for what wasn't there fault. If you really know her then you'd know she'll take on any guilt that someone else carries, and more, because of her low self-esteem. Don't hurt her like that. You want to be there for her, then do it, but stop being a whine-ass."

Koji was put down and saw the twins nod in agreement to their Uncle's words. He sighed and felt two fists dig into his head before being knocked back onto the bench.

"Damn it, you ruined my hair!" he growled before chasing after them. Inuyasha smirked, ran a hand through his own hair, and started calmly walking back. They'd been outside a few minutes. Maybe something had happened.

Sesshomaru looked over Kagome's head and watched them file in again. Koji looked hopefully toward Koga but he shook his head and pulled Ayame down onto his lap. Sesshomaru figured he'd better warn them before the doctor got in about her memory.

"Sarah may not have her memory. I don't know what happened, but before she passed out she hadn't the faintest idea who I was or who her mother was. I can only assume Naraku or Bankotsu did something to make her more submissive, not to mention they'd put on the restrictive collar."

"I hate them. I hope they both go to hell. Sarah doesn't need anymore problems!" Kagome said angrily.

"Gee... love you too, Momma."

"Sarah!" Kagome jumped up and embraced Sarah as she laid in the wheelable bed. "Are you all right? How do you feel?" she cupped her cheeks and kissed her forehead.

"I'm okay Momma. I'm sorry I worried you guys. Can I go home now?" she asked, holding a hand over her sewn up stomach.

"I don't think that's a good idea, Sarah. I believe you should stay in observation until tonight," the doctor said, frowning down at her.

"Then she's alright if it's just observation?" Koji asked, stepping up beside his aunt and uncle. The doctor nodded. Koji grasped her hand and kissed it.

"We need to get her into the room, but she insisted she see you all first. I'll lead you into her room in a few minutes." And he wheeled her away once more.

Kagome and Ayame hugged eachother before launching into their own husband's arms. "Did you thank that officer, Sesshomaru?"

"No need. It's my job. I take it she's doing well?" Tsukuyomaru said from the doorway, a small bouquet of wild flowers in hand. Kagome moved swiftly over to him and hugged him tightly. Then she spotted the little hand he held in his own.

Knealing down, she smiled at the litle girl with hair as silver as her father's. "And what's your name?"

"Shiori."

"I wanted to check on your daughter and make sure she was okay. Shiori suggested we bring some flowers," he hoisted her onto her hip and made her giggle shyly.

"Daddy let me chose'em and pay for'em!" she said happily.

"And how old are you, Shiori?"

"Five and a half." She held out her fingers to prove it. Kagome laughed and listened as the girl began to ramble on as all five year olds were prone to do. Shiori reached out and was easily transferred from her father to Kagome as she bragged and continued to speak of her little adventures. Tsukuyomaru took the oportunity to speak with Sesshomaru.

"We'll need to talk to your daughter, soon, and to the boy again. It's more procedure than necessity right now. There's no way he can get out of jail this time. He violated too many probationary rules."

"We're in your debt, Tsukuyomaru."

"No, you're not. As I said, I have Shiori. It's more than enough comfort to know I'm putting creeps like that away. Shiori, wrap it up. We have to get going or we'll be late to see Mommy."

"No! We can't be late, now. Mommy doesn't like us to be late. She worries and stuff, like mommies do," she said and smiled up at Kagome as she was set down. "I hope your daughter gets better miss. I know I'd be sad if Mommy or Daddy got any boo-boo's so I hope the flowers make her feel all better. Bye!" she said and skipped over to her father. Kagome looked over at Ayame and smiled. They shared a laugh and turned to see the doctor come in.

"She's all set and very anxious to see you. I ask that you only go in a few at a time, for noise purposes, but I suspect after what happened you'd all want to see her as soon as possible." He gestured for whomever to follow and they all decided to go. Tsukuyomaru handed Koji the flowers and winked before leading his daughter away.


Sarah was fidgeting with the blanket they'd thrown over her and waiting to see her family. She watched the door open and saw everyone flood in, words of relief falling from their lips. She smiled and scanned them all until she found Koji.

"Guess I ruined our dinner date, huh? But I have a good excuse, Koji-kun. I was abducted! I hope you'll pardon my abduction," she said lightly.

"I guess I can dismiss it then," he said and moved to side beside her, holding her hand in his. She blushed and everyone but Inuyasha and Koga chuckled, the two men too dense to get it.

"At that villa, you didn't have a clue who I was. I'm glad you recovered your memory, baby," Sesshomaru said and sat in the chair beside her. Sarah looked over and smiled.

"I knew who you were, but... it was weird. I didn't know it was you, exactly. It's hard to explain," she frowned in thought. "I guess what I should say it that it was a subconcious thing, or more like being in a dream."

"I understand. Any idea what they did to make you lose your memory?" he asked, brushing back her bangs as they fell into her eyes.

"I don't know. Bankotsu had grabbed me again and then... I don't know. I just woke up in that weird half-concious state."

Kagome frowned but then cupped her daughter's face once more. "I'm just glad you're okay, now."

"I was pregnant, Momma." The room fell silent. "Bankotsu smelt the child and sliced me open. Now I don't know if I'll ever be able to have kids. Probably not with the angle he sliced me from, and that's from a doctor's point of view." She was smiling, but it didn't reach her eyes.

"I'm sorry, Sarah. I wish there was something I could do to ease that sort of pain, but for now, don't think about it. Let the doctors do the worrying and wait to hear what they have to say first, okay?" Sarah nodded and looked around again to see her brothers.

"I hope you kept Koji in line," she said and saw them grin.

"Of course. That pest wouldn't be able to control himself without being babysat," Raiden said and high-fived Taro. Koji snorted and lifted her hand to his lips.

"I'm not five. I'm way more than five. I don't need a sitter, thank you."

"Stop whining, Koji-kun. Hey, are those for me?" she noticed the flowers in his other hand.

"Yeah. They're from the officer that helped you. He and his daughter came in while you were being set up in here." He saw her eyes starting to close as she nodded. "I think we should get out and let you rest. You're gonna fall asleep on us." She pouted and shook her head.

"Will not. So, Momma, how are you feeling? You didn't stress out, did you?" Kagome just smiled at Sesshomaru. "Momma! Geez... You'd think abduction was uncommon or something," she said lightly. Then she gasped and shot up, ignoring her body's protest. "What about my party? And the company party? Is everything ready?"

"Yes, it is, now lay down, Sarah." Taro ordered from the foot of the bed.

"But, my debut-"

"Will wait until you're better! Lay down," Raiden said.

"I can't-"

"Sarah, lay down and shut up already. The only chance you've got of going to either is if you lay still and let your body heal, got it?" Inuyasha roared. Sesshomaru snarled at him but remained quiet as she'd complied to the demand.

"Hai, Uncle Inuyasha. Uncle Koga, Aunt Ayame, take care of Koji, Momma, and Papa and make sure they rest today, please."

"I'm staying here, Sarah. No buts. I'm not leaving you alone here," Koji said when she frowned and rubbed her eyes.

"You have to go to school." He cursed under his breath and heard his mother's imediate scolding. "I'm going to need your help to get everything straight and caught up. I probably won't be able to go to school until Friday. I'm not that fast a healer, plus there's going to be the media to deal with," she sighed and looked over at Raiden. "I'm sorry. That's more work for you."

"Don't worry, Sarah. I've got it covered. Everything will be organized and dealt with when you come home. I'm thinking we can do a press conference to get everything straightened out so the tabloids won't be so bad, plus we can announce Sarah's coming out at the same time."

Sesshomaru nodded and stood up. "Kagome, I think you should stay here today and keep her company. The paparazzi won't be allowed to enter the hospital and you can rest with her for the day. I have to get some things from the company and I can work here. Koji, I suspect you'll get here right out of school?" he nodded. "Taro, Raiden, I'm going to ask you to look over the company for today, and have the sound department look through some of the pre-recorded music for Sarah to listen to when she's better."

They nodded and waved to Sarah before stepping out. Koga and Ayame also said their fairwells and left, only after Koji promised to go to school, and on time. Sesshomaru kissed Sarah's forehead, gave Kagome a more passionate kiss, ignored Sarah's childish noises of disgust, and stepped out to meet Koga.

"I want the braclets, Koga. I refuse to let this happen again."

Koga nodded. He didn't want to lose Sarah, but he was more concerned about his son's heart.
