Authors Note: Sorry for the long wait. Between the months of October through December and a little bit of January are really busy months for me. I'm trying to update but it will be a little bit slower if it's not I'll tell you guys and gals otherwise. Thanks to everyone one that reviewed which includes my friend Chloe; let's see and Caroline, avi, inufan, and Midnightflame, thanks a lot all of your reviews brought a smile to my face. Here's the next chapter and I hope you like it. Review.

Recap: "It's been about eight minutes already. What's taking Kagome so long?" Sango and Miroku were beginning to get worried

"Maybe a teacher asked her to do something." Miroku said. Sango doubted that

"Or maybe she's in trouble," she looked around for Hojo but there was no sign of him. Realization hit her like a bullet to the head. "Hojo, Hobo's inside the building!" Miroku and Inuyasha's eyes widened. How could they not have noticed? Miroku announced

"Maybe he's in the cafeteria today." Sango gave him a glare

"He's always outside on the benches Miroku. You and I both know that!"

"Well maybe he decided to eat in the cafeteria today Sango that could be a possibility!" Inuyasha listened to them go back and forth for a minute then he heard something with his ears. It was very faint. He listened again… Inuyasha's ears swiveled as his sharp hearing picked up a faint scream from inside the school building…


Inuyasha stood up sharply. Sango gasped out of shock

"Inuyasha are you okay?" Inuyasha put on a fake smile and stated

"Yea, I'm just going to go look for Kagome okay? And don't worry… there's no need to follow me. I'm sure she's fine… I'll … just go look for her." With that he was off walking calmly. When he out of sight he bolted for the schools entrance. 'Kagome! Please be okay, don't you dare give up on me. Stupid Homo!'


Kagome awoke. Hojo was walking towards her collapsed form. She was in not in the condition to fight back. Hono smiled with satisfaction

"What's the matter Kagome?" he picked her up

"H-hojo stop…" Kagome said weakly. Hojo snickered

"Hmm… maybe to knock some sense into that dull head of yours I'll make you mine," Kagome's eyes widened "And yes it's what your thinking." He gave a smug smile. Kagome gritted her teeth

"Why you sick piece of sh-"

"Now, now Kagome keep your temper in check otherwise after I'm done I'll make your death painful and slow." Kagome began to struggle in his arms

"There's no need to keep my temper in check you sick rapist! Cuz you won't lay a finger on me."

"We'll see about that." He began walking towards the storage room in the gym (I was going to put boiler room in the gym lol) Kagome struggled until Hojo couldn't take it any more and knocked her out cold, but just before he could reach the gym the school doors entrance burst open and Homo was met with a punch to the face sending him flying to the wall. Kagome was left uninjured for her sliver haired hero pulled her from the evil monster's grasp. Homo opened his eyes to see none other than Inuyasha. Feeling rage overcome him he yelled

"Just what do you think you're doing half breed?" Inuyasha locked eyes with Hojo in a heated gaze

"What I feel like doing." Inuyasha ignored any other word Howo had to say. He took in Kagome's appearance, she was pale; she looked really out it, and her blood stained cheek made her appearance look critical. This made Inuyasha furious. He looked up at Hojo and snarled

"You sick beast, what's wrong with you?" Hojo snickered

"I'm not the beast here. The beast is standing right in front of me. No one notices and cares about you, you are the beast." Inuyasha showed no emotion. Instead blinked and began

"You and Kagome are so different. Everyone here is different. That's a good thing." Hojo interrupted

"Well what does that have to do with anything?" Inuyasha glared at Hojo and then looked down at Kagome

"No matter how I see it, no matter how many times I try to change what people think of me it never works. They say 'you're a big nobody' and 'no one cares for you just die' but the thing is I won't. I've been created by God for a purpose and I plan to serve that purpose whether I have to die doing it or die trying to serve it." Hojo looked on with a heated glare. He was ready to lunge at the abomination but what Inuyasha was saying was so interesting he just couldn't seem to do so. Hojo questioned

"Well, what does that have to do with me or Kagome?" Inuyasha smirked revealing a fang which sent shivers down Hojo's spine. Inuyasha countered in a low deadly voice

"It has a lot to do with Kagome and so little to do with you. Kagome's shown me something only my mother ever showed me which was compassion and kindness. You are just like the rest, they don't give a damn on what's the inside, and it's the outside that they look at. They called me a monster; but it can't be helped because to Kagome I deserve to be treated like every other person, like a friend, but people like you don't see it that way; they only see me as one thing. I truly believe that I'm like everyone else. I'm just different in my appearance and race. But who am I kidding I'm only seen as and will always been seen by people like you as a…" Kagome stirred in Inuyasha's arms. She looked up to see gold eyes looking in front of her at someone

"Inuyasha…" she closed her eyes. Inuyasha continued

"Demon in disguise." Kagome heard that statement and it repeated itself in her mind until she drifted out of consciousness again

'Demon in disguse…'

Authors Note: Now that was a lot of work. Again thanks for reading. I'm sorry for the long wait and this short chapter i thought it would be longer, but things don't always go as planned. I'm satisfied that I was able to get this chapter up. It's a little off schedule but it's better late than never right? It might be a while until I update any of my stories but I'll give you guys, who are interested, more news for my updates on my profile. The news will probably be up no later than Saturday. Thanks again and review.
