"Now that we are all here, I will ask...wait a minute. Who are all of you? And why do you have popcorn?" The detective asked.

"Oh, we are Kagome's support group."

"Yeah, and the popcorn in for the video's I'm sure we are going to watch."

Kagome put her hand over her mouth to stop herself from laughing. Leave it to her friends to show up at a police station with popcorn.

"Ms. Higurashi, I will ask you now, where did you get these tapes and why did you not present them before?"

"That was me, sir. I'm the one the got the tapes." Inuyasha said. Kagome squeezed his hand.

"And how did you get them?"

"I gave them to him."

Every eye in the room went to the girl sitting beside Hojo's mother.

"And you are?"

"Hojo's sister, April."

Hojo glared at her and then looked at Kagome. Kagome shuddered and looked away.

"April, where did you get the tapes?"

"From my brother's room. I knew where he had them hidden. I didn't want him to do this to anyone else."

"You'll regret this." Hojo whispered to his sister, who merely rolled her eyes.

"Fine, we will watch these tapes, but I'm afraid Ms. Higurashi's 'support group' will have to leave the room."

"Please, it means a lot to my daughter that they stay."

Kagome smiled and hugged her mother.

"Fine, I understand which one is the tape of that day, but what are these others?"

"Some of them are before that day and we don't know what the other's are, we didn't watch them."

The detective looked at the other tapes ans picked one out. "This one is dated for a month ago. Did you watch this?"

"No."

"We will watch it now then. Do you have anything to say Hojo?"

Hojo shook his head and the detective put the tape in.

Video

"Look Kikyo, I told you I would get her and I will."

Kikyo smiled and kissed Hojo passionatley on the lips. "Thanks, I won't forget it. After we get rid of Kagome, we'll be free to move on to Inuyasha."

"Of course. Now come here, and remind me why we love each other so much."

End Video

Every jaw on Kagome's side of the room was on the floor.

"Wait a minute, Hojo is sleeping with Kikyo?" Miroku asked to the quiet room.

"Who is this Kikyo person?"

"A girl from our school."

"We will get her in here later, but for now let's get back to what we came here for."

"Fine, let's do that." Hojo said looking at Kagome again. Only this time he was met with a glare from Inuyasha.

Hojo turned back to the video. Now getting Kagome on his side would be even more important.

"I can't believe that it is over." Kagome said as she and Inuyasha sat in his room.

"It's not. You still have to testify against him."

"I know. Did you see the way he looked at me? He has something else planned."

"Even if he did, he's in jail now. There's no way for him to persue it."

"Guess you're right."

"I am right. Sango said we are to meet them at the theatre at seven tonight."

"I'm not sure I'm up for it. Maybe you should go without me."

"Are you sure? I'll stay with you if you want."

"No, you go ahead. Anyway, I should get home now. My mom is probably already worrying about me."

Inuyasha kissed her softly on the lips. "I will see you later."

"Alright."

Kagome walked out into the cool night air. All her friends were at the movies and she decided some alone time would be nice. She remembered when she first came here, how alone she had felt. How she had missed her old shrine. The first time she laid eyes on Inuyasha. All of that seemed so far away now and she wished things could go back to those easier times.

She heard someone walking behind her and turned around.

"What do you want?"

"I talked to the police today."

"Oh, yeah about your little 'relationship' with Hojo? If you really want to get back at someone framing them for murder is not the way, Kikyo."

Kikyo smirked. "I never accused anyone of anything. I needed dirt and I got it."

"Yeah, all you had to do was show a litle skin to a killer."

Kikyo walked until her face was inches from Kagome's.

"I love Hojo. I didn't expect to love him, but I do."

"What about Naraku?"

"Naraku is nothing compared to Hojo."

"Well, hopefully they will allow daily visits."

"Hojo won't go to prison. But don't worry your pretty little head about it. There are more important things for Hojo to deal with besides you."

"Then why does he keep trying to convince me I should be with him? If he loves you so much I mean."

"He just needed to clear his name. And he will. You and Inuyasha can live happily ever after."

"Thanks for the permission." Kagome turned around and began walking back towards her house.

"You didn't let me finish."

"I think we are done here."

"If you don't show up at the trial, I'll make sure you are left alone. If you do, Hojo will be very happy to see you."

"I wish Kagome would have come." Sango said as they left the theatre.

"Yeah, but after all that's happened the last couple of days, I can't blame her for wanting to stay home."

"This has been the weirdest few days of my life."

"That's only because you don't get out enough Shippou."

"And you do? Your days are spent chasing after girls asking them to bear your children and your nights are spent dreaming about chasing girls and asking them to bear your children."

The group laughed and crossed the street to their cars.

"Hey Inu, you should come back to my place with me and Miroku. I got this new game that is awesome." Bankotsu said.

"Yeah, alright."

"Be prepared to lose." Miroku said grinning.

"Don't let him fool you. He never wins. He just thinks because he's never played you, he can flake you out."

"Thanks Ban, as always you wear your poker face."

A few weeks later Kagome sat with her friends in the crowded court room. Inuyasha held her left hand, while Sango held her right.

In front of them, was the police and their lawyer. The other side was Hojo and his own attorney.

All testimonies had been heard and now they were waiting on the verdict.

The jury stood.

"Has the jury reached a verdict?"

"Yes, we have."

"And how do you find?"

"We find the defendant, guilty."

Kagome let out a long sigh, just as the court doors burst open. Inuyasha got to his feet and gasped in surprise.

"Sesshomaru."

Sesshomaru approached the judged and whispered something in his ear. He then went over to Hojo and gripped him on the shoulder. Hojo stood and was escorted from the room by Sesshomaru.

"Excuse me, but where is he going?"

"I'm sorry, Mrs. Higurashi, but that is not your matter. All you need to know is that Hojo will not be coming near your daughter again."
