DISCLAIMER I DO NOT OWN

at kagomes house

kagome was waking up like usual after a amazing nap hmm how the hell am I gonna stop him from going home but kagome wasn't able to finish that thought because inuyasha just walked in the room from playing a video game with souta he came in an sat right next to her so she said

"hey when do you have to go home?"

whenever

"oh so what do you want to do today"

then kagome got an idea "hey do you wanna call up miroku an sango an see if they wanna hang out?"

uhh sure

"ok u wait here an I'll go call miroku an sango"so kagome went into the other room

when sango an miroku showed up

kagome came outside to greet them with inuyasha

"hey guys whats up?"kagome asked

"ahh nothing so what do you guys wanna do today"said sango

"lets go to the mall, I can't wait to see what all the girls are wearing"said miroku an after he said that sango gave him a dirty look so he shut up

"well miroku has a point an besides inuyasha has only been to the mall once, right inuyasha"

everybody was focused on him again an he hated it so he just shook his head 'no' very quickly an was looking straight down at the ground and thats what worried kagome usually he would have his head up an would have his hand in hers and was so open but now he was all closed an disturbed so she grabbed his hand and leaned on him and said

"ya see so lets go ask my mom if she can give us a ride and I'll be right back"


at the entry way at the mall

were Mrs. H had just left them off an kagome could tell that inuyasha was really nervous so she tried to comfort him but I didn't really work because when they entered the mall inuyasha just became more nervous so she squeezed his hand tighter to let him know that she was still there and that seamed to do it because he snapped out of his trance and looked up at her an smiled a little then it went away at the huge site of people walking around so kagome just coasted him through all the people an to their first store.

"ooo sango this would look fabulous on you"kagome said to sango

"ditto so would this"

the girls were looking through all the cloths were miroku and inuyasha were standing up against the wall so miroku thought it would be good to try an talk

"ya know how girls are at the mall"

at that inuyasha looked up an just looked at him

"you know how they are"

again inuyasha just looked at him

"so I wounder when the girls are gonna be done"

at that inuyasha just shrugged his shoulders

"so umm-"but thankfully miroku didn't get to finish his sentence because kagome and sango had finished with themselves so they both came over with bags in there hands and when they came over they greeted there boyfriends with kisses on the cheek and thats when kagome an sango grabbed both inuyasha an miroku an started to shop for them an they both soon found out that it was impossible to get away so they gave in

after the shopping spree at the food court

"so inuyasha do you want anything?" kagome asked

no im fine but really he had been acting all day as if nothing has been wrong but really he was starting to get dizzy every once an awhile he was thankful that nobody has really noticed shit I've been with out food for to long, but if I eat anything an my freaking father finds out which he always does than I'll be sure to get another beating an I don't think I can take them anymore im so weak now an I hate having to puck up everything I eat (sigh) an thats when he noticed that he'd been thinking too long because kagome was looking at him an said

"hey are you alright?"kagome asked him while touching his fourhead

ya im fine

so kagome gave inuyasha one last look be four she turned back to ordering some food and asked inuyasha an miroku to go find a table

at the table

you find miroku an inuyasha sitting down

"so do you ever eat"miroku asked

yeah why do you care

"whoa sorry I asked dude"

and thats when inuyasha realized he had to apologize

look im sry im only uset to kagome talkin to me

"ahh it's ok no sweat"

and thats about when the girls came back with the pizza

"so did you guys talk about anything while we were gone?"kagome asked while taking her seat along with sango

"no"

no

they both said

"ok well everybody dig in while its still hot"kagome said

an thats what everyone did except inuyasha he was trying to control his hunger

with everybody

inuyasha and miroku were once again standing against the stores walls waiting for kagome and sango to get done shopping

and that was about the time when kagome called over inuyasha to see what he thought about this out fit but when he went to go over a wave of dizziness came over him and he couldn't see straight for a min then regained his composure and walked over as if nothing happened. But kagome saw an so did sango an miroku .

At kagomes house

they were all sittin up in kagomes room just talking

"ugh i'm so tired and we have school tomorrow"kagome said

"yeah I know I can;t wait until summer"said sango

"yeah me either, summer means hot weather an that means that girls will be going to the lake"miroku said and that got him a dirty look from both of the women

and inuyasha was just thinking about how he was gonna hide from kagome how he wasn't eating I hope nobody saw that I almost fainted twice today and I don't know how the fuck im gonna get through school tomorrow .. now inuyasha has been faced with this problem before but back then he didn't have anybody that talked to him an nobody that cared but now he had people that noticed freaking everything he did ahhh maybe I just shouldn't show up tomorrow I mean just so I can get my strength up but if I do kagome will ask me a hundred questions the next day I'll just have to grin an bear It but I don't know how I can barley do anything now and thats about when inuyasha said he had to go so they all said goodbye to him

back at kagomes house

"ok now theres something up with inuyasha you all saw it today" said kagome

"yeah kagomes right he nearly fainted at least twice today"sango said

" well maybe he just got up to fast " miroku said

and that just got his dry looks from the girls

" ok ok so I admit that he did seem different today"mirkou said with his hands raised up in defense

"well now that we got that settled, what are we gonna do about inuyasha I hate to see him go home but if I didn't let him he would think so thing is up"

" yeah so miroku what do you think we should do about this"said sango worridly

"i don't know and I dout that inuyashas father abuses him you guys just have over active imaginatives"said miroku

thats when kagome looked at sango and they both nodded so they decided to tell him what kagome saw that day when they left inuyasha off at his house ( I don't fell like righting the whole convo again its 3:30 in the mornin)

"well are you sure you saw that" miroku said

and that got him angry looks from both of em

"alright alright I believe you but if inuyashas dad abuses him then why doesn't he just go to the police or call one of those hot lines" mirkou said

"guys when did you say inuyasha first got bruises and stopped talking"

"well about 1 and the middle of second grade" said miroku

"well imagine If you were abused ever since first grade right after losing your mother and having no one to talk to, I mean hell his dad probably scared him so much when he was child he stopped talking completely" said kagome

"ya but that was first grade how was I sapost to know he was being abused when ever I asked him he would always say I fell or I ran into a door knob and I was six so I believed it then he never wanted to play anymore so I went over an started to play with the others boys until sango transferred over than me an her became friends and inuyasha just stopped acting normal and I didn't know what was wrong with him I was six I didn't think anything bad could ever hurt us" said miroku

"miroku its alright nobody is blaming you"sango said while trying to comfort him

"ya miroku we understand but when I first came to this school he was so wrapped with in himself it took me awhile to get him to open up and im still trying to get him to do that but what gets me is that once I took the time to get to know him I found that that hes an amazing artist and that he such a wonderful person and that it was so easy to find out everything I know all anybody had to do was just look and they'd know" kagome said

"we know kagome but we can't help that now we have to start making a plain to help inuyasha

so the rest of the night they concocked a plain to save inuyasha

at inuyashas house

inuyasha was just getting in when he saw that he was all alone in the house and that was really really weird so he walked up stairs and saw the attic was open so he decied to go up and see why and saw his moms old things all stuffed in boxes and opened up her jewelry box and saw her old necklace witch she wore everyday and all he could think is how beautiful it would look on kagome so he put it in his pocet an thats when the front door closed so he hurried up an try to get out of there before his dad saw him up here but was too late and went to bed again with bruises

at school the next day

inuyasha walked in even more weaker than he was yesterday

and when kagome saw him he looked even worse than yesterday and she saw the looks that keada gave him when he came into class with a new bruise

so when he sat down she said

"ok your deffently not good today are you" kagome said acting all concerned

ya im fine

"ok"

and they had a brief talk then class started but most of the class kagome kept checking on inuyasha even though he was right beside her

at lucnch

kagome had just got her lunch an was walking over o the table when sango and mirok came up to her and stared yelling

"KAGOME YOU HAVE TO COME NOW INUYASHA FAINTED"they both yelled at the same

and when kagome heard that she threw her lunch and started to run towards the big crowd of people and when she got to the front of it she saw inuyasha passed out on the floor so she intently went to him an tried to wake him

"inuyasha wake up" kagome said while tapping his cheek and after a couple of minutes of doing that he finally came to

"oh thank god your alright" she said hugging him and then helped him up and after a while all the people disapeared he was sitting on a bench with kagome

"ok inuyasha tell me why you passed out"

I passed out because I havnet eaten anything for a week an a half" I can't

"ok why can't you tell me"

I just can't

"inuyasha you passed out and all your telling is why is you can't"

and all inuyasha could do it look down

kagome the reason I can't tell you is because- inuyasha wasn't able to finish his sentence because miroku and sango came up to them with new from the nurse

"well inuyasha since you passed out the school the nurse said you have to go home"miroku said

so inuyasha shook his head saying 'yes'

and got his stuff and hugged kagome goodbye and walked home

when kagome got home

she noticed that inuyasha forgot his stuff that they bought him at the mall so she went downstairs with the bag in hand and told her mom that she was going to walk down to inuyashas house and give him the cloths that he forgot

with miroku and sango

they were both out on a date

"so I wonder whats gonna happen with inuyasha"sango said

"yea I know I can't imagine what it most be like for him to even be afraid enough not to talk for god knows how many years"

"ya I know I don't know what kind of father would do that to there own son"

"i don't know, my father was a good man an he never hurt a fly I just don't know how a person to even do that to another person let alone there son"

"Yea"

thats when miroku got a smile on his face "i remember when I first met inuyasha he was very scrappy and all the girls liked him because of his dogs ears well anyway I was getting picked on by a group of bullies and the next thing I know inuyahsa was in front of me holding them back and was defending ohh and his father back then was the best father a person could be an everybody just adored his mother she was so beautiful but then one day inuyasha came in crying and when I asked him he said his mother died and that his dad hurt him back then I just thought that his dad must be hruting to and then the next thing I know inuyasha moved an I didn't know where"

"well when I came I hardly saw him at all"

" ya you probably wouldn't"

with kagome

she just arrived at inuyashas house and heard a lot of yelling coming from inside so at first she was a little scared to open it then she heard something or someone crash into something so when she managed to gather up enough courage she opened the door up and what she saw will shock her for the rest of her life

"oh no...INUYASHA!!"
