Not Again

It was 9:00 pm and Kagome sat in Myelin's Dora themed bedroom. She was feeling much better after telling everyone what had been happening for the past three years. She showered, washed her hair, put on Kikyo's pink cotton nightgown, and reapplied the makeup so Myelin wouldn't be terrified of her. She sat on Myelin's carpet and was putting ponytails in her hair.

"Ka-mo-ge, I no want my hair done," Myelin said trying to pull away from her.

"Come on Myelin," Kagome said sitting her down, and pulling another colorful bow out of the container. "Don't you want to look pretty?"

"Nooo, I no want," she replied whining.

"Auntie will give you ice cream," Kagome said sweetly while putting the bow in her hair.

Myelin stopped fighting and sat politely with a smile. "Ok Ka-mo-ge."

"Can u say Ka-go-me honey?"

"Kamoge!"

Kagome laughed, "That's close enough."

Kikyo walked into the room and smiled at the scene. "She really missed you Kags."

Kagome turned around and smiled at Kikyo, who was in her blue cotton nightgown. "I missed her too."

"Ka-mo-ge I want ice cream," Myelin whined.

"Ok honey," Kagome said putting the last bow in. "You can get ice cream."

"Yay!" Myelin jumped up, ran to Kikyo, and hugged her legs.

Kikyo laughed, "Sweetie, daddy is in the kitchen down the hall, ask him to get you a little bit of ice cream."

"Yay! Daddy get ice cream!" Myelin yelled while running down the hallway.

Kikyo looked at Kagome who was putting the hair bows away. "Are you okay Kags?"

Kagome released a breath and placed the container on Myelin's bed. "I do feel much better than I have in the past three years."

Kikyo leaned against the door frame and folded her arms. "I think it's because now you don't have to go through this alone. We are all here for you Kags."

Kagome looked at her sister and smiled. "I know. However, I was thinking, and I think that I'm going to give up on love for good."

"No Kags, you just were in relationships with the wrong guys."

Kagome shook her head. "No, Miroku just made a mistake, he really loved me and still loves me. I just don't feel that I am cut out for a relationship. I was cheated on and I have been getting abused. I'm not going to allow another guy to enter my heart. I loved and trusted Ko so much, and Miroku too. I just hate trusting someone and being faithful to someone and I keep on being hurt and disrespected."

Kikyo frowned slightly. "I'm sorry that you feel that way Kags. There are so many other guys in this world, and you met two indecent ones. Love is not easy, some take all their lives to find the right one. You will find someone for you."

"But I don't want to keep going through this. I don't want to go through years and trials of heartbreak to find true love. I'm tired already and I'm only twenty-five Kiks." Kagome released a frustrated breath. "I just wish mom, dad, and grandma were here, I'm pretty sure that I would not have gone through this."

Kikyo nodded. "I understand Kags. I wish they were here too, and I miss grandma so much. But we are all we have. I'm pretty sure that none of them want you to give up though."

Kikyo turned and started to walk away, until Kagome talked.

"Thanks Kiks for helping me through this much, I think I'm going to go outside for a little while. I want to enjoy the air while it's slightly cool."

Kikyo nodded and walked to the kitchen. Kagome went out of Myelin's room and walked through Kikyo's cream colored living room, which was beautifully decorated with a black huge flat screened television, and comfortable white plush couches. She walked out of the front door and felt the slightly chilly air hit her skin. Kagome titled her head back and smiled. She walked down the path to the sidewalk and stood there enjoying the air. The night was dark but Kagome felt calm and at peace.

After about five minutes of being outside, Kagome turned and started to walk towards Kikyo and Kouga's house, until a dark voice stopped her.

"So, this is where you are tonight."

Kagome froze and began to shake slightly. She didn't have to turn to around to see who it was. Before she could react, he put his hand over her mouth and began to drag her away from the house.

~Sesshomaru~

Sesshomaru drove around Kagura's area, on the Upper Side, but he couldn't bring himself to even satisfy himself with the woman. She was annoying. Plain and simple. It was already 9:15pm and he continued to circle the block. The cool night air came through the windows blowing Sesshomaru's long mane of silvery-white hair.

Sesshomaru turned right onto a street, when he smelled a displeasing scent.

Blood? Why the hell do I smell blood?

Sesshomaru proceeded slowly down the street to find the source.

~Kagome~

Ko dropped Kagome to the floor a little ways from Kikyo and Kouga's house. She crawled to her knees and was about to stand up until she felt a blow to her stomach, making her crash back onto the ground.

"Ahh!" she screamed while holding her stomach.

"So, you ditched me and our date to come to your sister's house?" Ko questioned fiercely. "I knew that you would either be here or one of your pathetic friends houses. Not that hard to track you down, you only have less than a handful."

Kagome coughed and tried to steady herself again, but she felt another blow to her stomach and she fell harder. She began to cry and hold her stomach tighter. She felt liquid soaking through the nightgown and knew it was blood.

"Don't try to get up, I'll just keep hitting you harder, and if you pass out or worse, it won't be my problem," he said harshly while slowly circling her like a vulture.

Kagome glared at him until saw his eyes flickering between black and red, and widened her eyes in fright. "What's wrong with y…your eyes?"

Ko froze slightly and his eyes went back to normal. "None of your business." Kagome frowned in response.

"Aw," Ko said pulling her hair roughly, causing Kagome to cry harder. "What's with the looks 'love'? You left me, you deserve this."

"I didn't show up because you did this to me this morning!" she choked out.

Ko shoved her face into the grass and Kagome tried to fight back, but he was too strong.

"You will listen and obey me! You will!"

Kagome felt like she was on her last breath until she heard a familiar voice.

"Kags, where are you?" Kikyo yelled. "Babe I don't see her, I think she might be hurt!" Kikyo panicked.

Ko released Kagome's head and she began to cough uncontrollably.

"Hold on, I hear something."

Kagome coughed harder and Kouga rushed to where he heard the coughing.

"Find her quickly babe! I can't leave Myelin alone if this creep is here!" she yelled looking after him.

Ko picked Kagome up and threw her over his shoulder and began running towards the street. Kouga saw the two and began running faster.

"Let her go Ko!" Kouga yelled.

Kouga ran into the street and turned to see lights coming for him. He smirked and dropped Kagome roughly into the street and tackled Kouga to the ground. Kagome tried to move but couldn't get passed the excruciating pain. Kagome's eyes widened as the lights came closer and she did all she could do, scream.
