"Let me see Kagome" Sango pushed some of my hair of my face to my bruised cheek, "Inuyasha we need to take her to the hospital, it's getting bad." She said not taking her eyes off me. "I'm fine. It's just a bruise." I said as Inuyasha reached for my chin to make me face him. "Wait until you look yourself fin the mirror, you will think otherwise. Do you want to go get it checked?" he asked calmly. I shook my head, the last thing I needed right now was paparazzi's questioning me at the ER. He let go of my chin, I couldn't make eye contact with anyone, I felt so stupid.

Arriving to Inuyasha's house Miroku stepped out, then Sango finally Inuyasha. Once we was only he was ready to carry me, "I can walk" I said looking down and walking towards the door. I walked straight to his living room without saying a word. I sat down, brought my knees to my chest. I look down at my shaking hands, and felt how tears began to roll down my cheeks.

"Inuyasha we need to get her out of here, she needs an escape" Sango told Inuyasha who was sitting on a stool, as she pour Miroku so wine. "I know" Inuyasha said plainly as we stared into his class of wine, "Go gather some stuff, let's take her my penthouse in Hawaii." "When do we leave?" MIroku asked. Inuyasha looked at his watch, "its 2am, 5am good?" both Sango and Miroku nodded. "I'll call Sesshomaru to send over a car and prepare the jet. We can't afford to call attention" Inuyasha said getting up and reaching for his phone on the countertable. "Ok, we'll be back shortly" Miroku said as he grabbed Sango's hand and walked to the door. Inuyasha walked team to the door and went to the living room.

I was still blankly looking at my hands with my knee up, I felt Inuyasha sit next to me. I couldn't help but put my head on his shoulder, "Was I wrong Inuyasha? To break up with Koga without thinking about what everyone else thought. I feel selfish for doing it, look what it caused." I started to feel tears again. "No, it was just you finally made a decision of your own. Obviously there is individuals that disagreed with it, but I'm proud of you. I though it was brave and about time you did." He said smiling at me on the last sentence. We stood in silence for a while until I broke it, "I don't want to go home, I don't want be in front of cameras or people. I just want to sleep" I said covering my face. "How about Hawaii?" he asked playing with my fingers, I gave him confused look. "Let's get away for alittle, just until things calm down with the press, Koga, your father and give that bruise time to heal. What do you say?" he said leaning his head on mine, which was on his shoulder. "It would be nice, but I can't leave like that. My father would be furious, I have shoots and how are we do go without being surrounded by paparazzi" "Let me handle our transportation, I promise you, you won't be ambushed my camera. As for you father, let me handle him AFTER our trip ok?" Inuyasha made me feel safe and secure about it. I knew I could trust him. "Ok"

Just before 5am Sango and Miroku arrived, shortly Sesshomaru arrived also. He walked in and went straight to me. He stroked my bruised cheek, "Your even more beautiful for standing for yourself, I saw what happen. Only a bittered man hits a woman." I smiled at him "Thank you for helping us right now, for helping me hide alittle" "If it mean you being away from you father, anything. Now hurry up the plane is set to leave at 5:30" I was still scared of leaving things unsettled but I needed this for to think, and for me.
