Kagome was on her computer looking up several types of lawyers she could get with this case on Azami's father. The only problem was the child had to be willing to testify and that wasn't going to happen. Kagome yawned from her lack of sleep.

She then heard steps coming down the stairs as she quickly minimized everything making sure neither kid knew about this yet. She looked over to see Shiho coming down the stairs with her tail hung low and looking very tired. "Oh it's just you Shiho." Kagome laughed at the dog as it yawned.

The dog let out a low 'gruph' as she tried to get Kagome to go to bed.

Kagome smiled as she pet the dog on the head, "Go back to bed."

Shiho disobeyed her as she sat there whimpering.

"Don't make me have to put you out." Kagome warned.

Shiho then looked to see a picture of Kagome and Inuyasha up on her computer desk along with a picture of her and Yasha and another with Shiho and Yasha. In one quick motion, the picture of Kagome and Inuyasha was on the ground.

"Stop what are you doing?" Kagome screamed.

Shiho wagged her tail putting her paw over the picture. The only problem was she couldn't point. She chose to make whimpering noises instead.

"No, leave that alone. You are going to break it." Kagome fought her to get off the picture. Once the dog was off she put it on the desk. "You are going out before you wake the kids." She said grabbing the collar of the dog and walking to the door.

Shiho tried to fight her for the first time since they got her. Shiho struggled to stay in and Kagome struggled to put her out.

Kagome finally won as she tied Shiho to the Sacred Tree. "Now you are going to stay out here tonight." Kagome said as she walked into the house and closed the door.

Shiho whimpered until Kagome closed the door then she jumped over the small fence around the sacred tree and slept inside of it. Her first plan failed.

Kagome went back onto the computer and quickly put up a new tab as she looked up that book she saw the child read earlier, "The puppy sister." Kagome whispered typing it in. She looked through the summary of it. It turned out the book was about a dog who wanted to become human. It started to act more and more human and finally the family started to see it change in appearance. It started to look human until finally it learned to talk and became one of the family not as a dog but as a human. Kagome looked at the picture of Shiho and Yasha that was sitting on her desk. Shiho acted a lot like a human…this couldn't happen; if she didn't know better she would have thought Shiho was going through the same thing. Kagome laughed at her thought, "Girl you spent way to much time in the feudal era." She whispered as she closed out the tab to continue what she was searching for. Kagome jumped as she heard thunder outside, then the rain pelted down.

Later in the night Kagome heard someone outside in the thunderstorm. She figured it was just a cat so she went back to her computer looking up different lawyers to use so she could help young Azami out. She looked out side when she heard another scratching on the window then she quickly grabbed the phone to call Hai to help her out with this one. "Hey, its Kagome, I think there is someone outside."

"Hold on I will be right there. Don't go outside." He whispered as he hung the phone up to grab his keys.

Kagome hung the phone up to hear a knocking at the door. She was trying to think of whom it could be but when she got to the door she saw who it was through her window. It was Azami's father. "Go away." She yelled.

"I want my daughter back, Kyubi said she was here." He yelled drunkenly.

"You hurt her, she isn't going to see you again if I have any say in it." she said as she kept the door between them locked. Then she heard a dog outside, dang it, Yasha's dog was still out in the rain.

"What a lovely dog." The man said laughing manically as she heard him walk off the porch. Kagome heard the dog whimper. She knew she had to go outside to help the dog. She only hoped that Yasha and Azami would stay inside. So far they didn't wake up.

Kagome slowly opened the door to find the man holding the dog down. "Stop, Leave her alone." She yelled.

"So you do have a heart." He whispered coming over to her drunkenly.

Kagome ran past him to get to the dog. He put his arm out to grab her arm. "Leave me alone." She yelled pulling her arm away. Shiho kept barking at the man.

He just held her tighter. "Now why don't we go over to the extra shed like building over there? We both aren't married." He whispered in her ear.

"Don't you dare." She yelled trying to wake anyone from her house up, she tried to scream until her mouth was covered by his hand.

"Bring me to my daughter then."

"I wont, she doesn't deserve to have you as a father." She heard the dog barking louder as it tried to snap the leash. It was snarling and snapping its jaws at the man but he just laughed. Shiho was struggling so much to break the leash that she was starting to choke herself. Kagome was now mentally kicking herself for getting the metal chained leash.

"That dog is trying so hard to help you, how cute." He whispered as he pulled out a gun.

"Don't you dare hurt her." she yelled as she attempted to grab the gun from his hand.

"Then we shall have a little fun." He whispered dragging her to the well house. Kagome started to cry as she saw the well that she once had Inuyasha go through to help her out. He closed the door as he held her down.

"Mom." Yasha yelled as he stood up.

He ran into his mother's room where Azami was lying asleep. "Have you seen my mom?" he asked.

"She was on the computer last time I knew." Azami whispered yawning getting up to see Yasha at the door.

"I had a bad dream that she was screaming outside for help." Yasha whispered.

They then heard the dog snarling and snapping outside. "Mom." Yasha yelled with tears in his eyes as he ran to the front door. "Mom." He yelled into the storm. The rain was too loud to hear a response. He couldn't smell anything, the rain washed everything away.

"Mrs. Higrashi." Azami yelled from the house.

"Stay here Azami." Yasha whispered as he ran over to his dog. On his way there he ran into a dark figure. "Who are you?" Yasha yelled standing up quickly.

"It is me Hai, where is your mom?"

"That is what I am trying to figure out." He yelled as he got up. "Shiho knows something though."

"Your dog?" he asked.

"Yeah, Shiho is snarling too much, something is wrong."

"Now you can talk to your dog?" he whispered as he ran with Yasha.

Yasha came up to the dog and undid the chain. "Take me to mom Shiho." He said as he watched his dog run off toward the well house. He ran along with his dog as Hai tried to keep up while running in the mud. "She is in here?" he asked the dog as it started to scratch at the door.

"Hold on Yasha, don't open the door yet." Hai yelled as he came up next to the child. Hai slowly opened the door as the dog ran in with Yasha and Hai close behind. They heard Kagome screaming for help somewhere in the dark shadows.

"Mom." Yasha yelled with tears when he saw Azami's father hold a gun to her head. They were off in a corner as Azami's father held her up waiting for whoever was at the door to come in. Her clothes were torn, while Yasha couldn't figure out why, he wasn't happy to see his mother being held with a gun to her head.

"Where is she?" Hai yelled as he stood behind Yasha.

Yasha remembered then about his better seeing abilities. "Get out of my way kid or your mother will die right here because of you." The man said pointing the gun even more into Kagome's temple. Her mouth was being held by his hand not allowing her to talk at all.

"Let my mom go." He yelled.

"Get out of the way kid." He yelled again.

Yasha obeyed and stood away from the entrance pulling Hai with him as he did so. Hai finally caught sight of Kagome when the man came out of the shadows. "Let her go." Hai yelled stepping forward only to be pulled back by Yasha.

"No, I don't want to loose my mom too." He whispered.

"But kid you don't know if that gun is loaded, you can smell the alcohol on him, he probably doesn't know how to load a gun right now." Hai whispered.

"No the gun is loaded please don't do anything." He whispered, he could smell the gun powder.

"Smart kid." The man said as he came up to the top of the stairs. "Now get this, if I don't have what I want by tomorrow, next time we meet it will be fatal. And if you guys know what's good for you then you won't tell anyone who came here." He said shooting Kagome in her right shoulder blade making her yell out in pain. The man ran away from the place as the other two males went to make sure Kagome was fine. Shiho ran after the man with the gun. She had to catch the man.

"Shiho." Yasha yelled.

"Don't worry about the dog just call an ambulance." Hai told Yasha as he tried to stop the bleeding. "Go now."

Yasha got up to run inside. "What happened?" Azami asked as Yasha ran inside.

"My mom got shot." He yelled as he ran to the phone dialing the emergency number right away. Shiho ran inside, Yasha saw blood around her face and all in her fur. She held a bit of clothe in her mouth as well but Yasha couldn't find time to check her out.

"Who shot your mom?"

"Hello, yes, my mom just got shot…in the right shoulder…she is bleeding a lot…we are at Higarashi shrines…I have to get back to my mom…alright." Yasha hung up. "They will be here in ten minutes."

"Who shot your mother?" she yelled.

"No one."

"Who?"

"Your father." He finally said. "Your father tried to kill my mom." Yasha yelled with anger now in his voice. Realization hit him and frustration took over his thoughts, "If it weren't for you, my mom would be fine right now." He yelled.

Azami looked shocked, "You can't tell the cops, please. Don't tell them who did it. If they find out then he will go away and who knows what will happen to me."

"You make that sound so easy." He whispered as he ran outside.

Azami looked down at Shiho then at the door. "It isn't my fault." She whispered. The dog came up to her and started to nudge into her hand. "You believe me right? It isn't my fault." She asked through tears while petting the wet dog before she decided to go outside to try and help them. She wasn't supposed to get the cast wet but it was the least she could do.

Yasha ran up to Hai, "Who was that?" Hai asked Yasha. "What did he want?"

"No one I know. I don't know what he wants." Yasha said feeling horrible that he had to lie like this. Kagome heard Yasha say this, she knew Azami asked him not to say.

A few minutes later an ambulance pulled up and Yasha and Hai carried Kagome about half way down the stairs before the paramedics put her into a stretcher for the rest of the way down the stairs. "Let her son go with her." Hai yelled to the paramedics, "I am going to wake up her parents and then we will drive over."

"We can't do that." The paramedics told him.

"Please, I don't have enough room in my car for everyone and I am the only one who can drive."

"Fine but just letting you know we aren't supposed to do this." The paramedic said as they ran to the ambulance. Hai ran back up to make Azami come in with him to wake everyone else up.

Yasha sat in the corner of the ambulance watching as the paramedics quickly worked at fixing up his mother before they even got to the hospital. Tears fell down his face when he saw them running around trying to save her life. Kagome seemed to be in pain as well, she was trying to hold back any screams from escaping her mouth.

Once the ambulance stopped the paramedics rushed Kagome into the hospital with Yasha close behind. The doctor came out right away and started asking the nurses several questions. "Why is this child here?" he finally asked when he noticed Yasha. "You know no children are allowed to be in the ER."

"Sorry the child was distraught and the person he was with had no room in the car." One of the nurses said.

"Take the child into the waiting room. Give him something to do." The doctor said before vanishing into a few doors with Kagome.

"So what is your name?" the nurse asked bending down to Yasha's level.

"I am Yasha." He said.

"well my name is Kiara, I am going to show you were to go. You hungry?"

"No, not really."

"You like games?"

"I guess."

The nurse pulled out a video game out of her pocket, "I just got back from my break, and I play video games while I am on break." She said handing him the system. "Now why don't you sit over there and play it, I will come out to check on you and tell you about your mother."

"Aright" Yasha agreed.

Yasha just stared at the system; he didn't even turn it on. How could he play a game when his mom was in the hospital? His mother was like his best friend if she didn't make it he would have no one like her again.

Hai walked in with everyone with him. They saw Yasha right away and sat down with him. "It isn't your fault Yasha." Hai said as he sat down next to the kid.

"Yeah I know." He whispered.

"She will be fine."

"Mhm."

A police officer came in and walked over to the group, "Hello, I know you guys are going through a lot right now but I need to know who it was who shot the woman."

Yasha looked away not saying anything. Hai could only give a description, not knowing who the man was. Yasha and Azami said nothing afraid of what might happen to her father and then what would happen to Azami.

Once the cop left Azami walked over to Yasha when no one was around him, "Thank you for not saying anything she whispered."

"I just want my mom to be well."

"She will be." Azami said hugging Yasha.

Yasha smiled, "Thank you."
