He sat on the floor staring at the TV on mute. He didn't know what time it was, but he knew it was late. A few inches away, lay a girl who just cried her eyes out to him. He couldn't get her screams out his head, she didn't tell him everything but she told him enough. He knew mostly everything as why she had a break down in the middle of the sidewalk.

She was forced out her own home by a monster and forced into the home of a monster. She regrets not jumping off the bridge the night she left her home. She screamed about how Koga abused her, how she cried every night for a long time, how she slept with men for money a couple of times, how Koga would come home drunk and have his way with her- He was knocked out of his thoughts as his phone started to buzz. He quickly answered it, not wanting to wake up Kagome and for her to start crying again.

"Hello?" He whispered.

"Hey man, why are you whispering?"

"Because, it's a long story."

"I'm not doing anything."

"I bumped into Kagome today and I mean like I actually bumped into her so she fell. But then she started crying, and she just wouldn't stop so I took her back to my place and-"

"Woah, woah, woah, so she's there right now?"

"Yeah, she just fell asleep since she's been crying this whole time about some crazy shit man. I don't even know how to explain what's going on with her."

"Ya know she had the nerve to throw a drink on Kikyo today?"

"Dude, if you knew some of things she's been through you'd-"

"I mean like what type of person does that? Kikyo didn't even do anything."

"If your not going to listen to me then-"

"She thinks its ok to be crazy just because she got raped and its not. You have to take responsibility for your actions."

"DUDE! She's been raped more than once! She regrets not killing herself a long time ago man, do you know how that feels?"

"Oh and I suppose you do."

"That's not even funny Miroku. Kagome's got some serious stuff she's dealing with and I don't think that now is the best time to be turning against her."

"SHE CALLED MY DAD A RAPIST! Do you know how that feels? He's my FATHER!"

"And have you even given her a chance to apologize?"

Miroku remained silent as InuYasha felt the urge to hang up on him.

"You supposedly know her better than me and you know she doesn't usually do crazy stuff like this. If you would have taken one minute to think about what caused Kagome to do something like this maybe you would have realized that she's HURTING! I'm so happy that I bumped into her because I don't know what she might have done if she had to cry like this by herself."

"Are you and Kikyo getting back together anytime soon?"

InuYasha threw his phone against the wall and glared at the phone that wasn't even broken. "I'm sorry InuYasha." A weak voice said behind him and his head snapped around.

"Don't apologize, I'm glad you ended up here." He replied as she opened her bloodshot and puffy eyes.

"No really, I'm sorry. I should have just kept walking and then you wouldn't have to deal with me and all that stuff." Kagome replied and he chuckled.

"But I want to deal with you and all that stuff." InuYasha stated and she smiled a little.

"Aw, that's really nice of you but I can't let you do that." She said as she sat up.

"Kagome, have you told anyone this?" InuYasha asked and she shrugged.

"Not really, Koga knows all about my family issues, this old lady knows more than Sango about Koga. Then there's you who knows mostly everything." Kagome said as she pulled her knees up to her chest.

"Mostly everything?" He repeated. Kagome didn't reply as she put her head down.

"Please don't shut me out Kagome." He pleaded as he sat down on the couch next to her. She still didn't reply.

"I can't InuYasha." She sobbed and InuYasha realized she was crying again.

"You can't what?" He asked.

"I can't let you in here InuYasha." She said and he smiled.

"Yes you can Kagome. Just take a deep breath and let it all out." He said and she looked up at him. 'Just let it all out.'

"I went back to my family shrine, gosh I don't remember when I did but he was there. He was mad I was there so I ran but he got me. I hoped he would just kill me but he just stabbed me instead. It hurt so bad and I just wouldn't die already. I made it all the way to Koga's and he took me to the hospital, but he just left me there.

Like, he just dropped me off at the emergency room door and he didn't even help me in the place. As soon as I got out the car, he drove away. The doctors asked so many questions and saying I feel down a hill and landed on a stick, they didn't buy it. I was scared they were going to find Naraku's fingerprints somewhere and he'd go to jail but when he got out he'll torture me because he knows I want to die." Kagome stopped talking, her face pale and tears forming in her eyes.

"Keep going." She looked at him and shook her head.

"No more InuYasha please, I can't." She pleaded and he didn't know what to do. He heard it's the first step of the healing process to talk about it, but you can't force them into talking about it. But what if they had been hiding it for years? He took her into his arms and hugged her. She's been through enough he figured, she's talked enough for today.

"It's ok." He said as he stroked her hair. Kagome sobbed into his shoulder and she actually, just for a second, felt like everything was going to be ok now.

Meanwhile .

A woman paced through her home, recalling all the events in her marriage over the years. Unbeknownst to their family and friends, her and her husband went through a rough time and decided it was better if they were separated for a while. He had never told her where he went and it worried her. What if this Kagome girl was right? Her husband was a monster who ruined this poor little girl's life. Mrs. Hoshima quickly shook her head of such things.

"That can't be true, he wouldn't." She said as Kikyo entered the kitchen.

"Hello mother, InuYasha still hasn't called to apologize." Kikyo whined as she hopped up on the counter.

"I'm sure he'll come around." Mrs. Hoshima assured as she washed her vegetables.

"I don't even think I want him back though! I just got a text from Miroku and he said that Kagome chick is over at InuYasha's place!" Kikyo exclaimed as she read her phone.

"Oh well sweetie, you shouldn't jump to conclusions." Her mother replied as Kikyo huffed.

"Don't jump to conclusions!? MY so called boyfriend is messing around with the chick that called my father and YOUR husband a rapist!" Kikyo yelled angrily and her mother sighed.

"You'll understand when you have kids of your own that as a mother, you can't just see a child in pain and look the other way. That Kagome girl has some real issues with herself, her family and her friends." She replied as Kikyo rolled her eyes.

"Ha, I'm never having kids." Kikyo stated.

"Doesn't InuYasha want kids?"

"I don't care, at this rate there won't be an InuYasha."

"Don't be that way sweetie, he loves you and hasn't done anything wrong."

"He hasn't called me and he's messing around with Kagome."

"You don't know that he's 'messing around' with her."

"Ugh, mom! I'm going to go talk to Miroku!" She stated as she stomped out. "Spoiled brat." She murmured as she noticed Kikyo left her phone.

'I suppose InuYasha knows more about Kagome's story.' She thought to herself as she picked it up and dialed InuYasha's number.

Meanwhile .

Kagome sighed as she flopped on the couch. She buried her head into the pillow and screamed. She stopped as the phone rang.

"Wonder who it is, probably Koga to say he left some important money somewhere." Kagome muttered as she picked the phone up.

"Hello?"

"Thank God you picked up the phone Kagome. Listen, you gotta get out the of there, now."

"What? Why? Oh God no Koga. This better not be what I think it is."

"I'm so sorry ok? But you gotta get out of there NOW!"

"Damnit Koga!" Kagome yelled as she threw the phone without hanging up.

She ran towards the door and froze when she opened the door.

"Going somewhere?"

Next Day .

InuYasha nervously knocked on the door of the Hoshima household. Kikyo's mom had called him yesterday and asked him if he could come over today so they could have a 'talk'. But that didn't really bother him as much as when Kagome never called him. The only reason he let her leave his apartment was because she promised she'd call him as soon as she got home.

She promised she would since she didn't want him to worry about her, and now because she didn't call, he was worried. So worried he didn't even notice Ms. Hoshima open the door and say 'Come in.' His train of thought crashed as Mrs. Hoshima cleared her throat loudly.

"Oh um, sorry. Hey Mrs. Hoshima." He stated as he walked in the house.

"Come, sit in the living room." She said as she lead him there. He slowly sat down in one the chairs and Mrs. Hoshima sat across.

"Everyone has left and won't be back for a few hours so please, don't be scared to say anything. And I trust that as long as I don't say anything to anyone, you will do the same." She stated and he was completely confused.

"Ok, what did you want to talk about?"

Meanwhile .

Sango paced back and forth in her apartment. Her and Miroku were no longer on speaker terms and it didn't bother her as much Kagome disappearing again. InuYasha told her that Kagome left his apartment and she didn't call him to let him know she got home ok.

'She always disappears but, I would think that she wouldn't disappear this time.' She thought to herself as she looked up when someone knocked on her door. She opened the door and frowned.

"Long time no see." She stated as she crossed her arms.

"Out the way." A man ordered as he sidestepped her and looked around her apartment. She growled as he searched her apartment.

"She's not here is she?" He asked and she rolled her eyes.

"Why would she be here? She always goes to you." Sango replied. "So she hasn't been here?" He asked and Sango groaned.

"Why are you here Koga?" She asked and as he slumped on her couch. "You know I wouldn't be here without good reason….." He said trailing off.

"So you don't know where Kagome is." She stated. "That's normal, nobody ever knows where she is."

Koga sighed.

"I don't even know how to say this." He replied as he put his face in his hands. Sango sat down next to him.

"Just say it dude." She replied and Koga chuckled.

"It's my fault so don't even blame me, I know."

"Get on with it already."

"I swear, everybody's gonna kill me. You're gonna be mad, everyone's gonna be so mad."

"What is it?"

"Gosh, I feel bad, I actually promised her it wouldn't happen again."

"Let what happen again? Her as in Kagome right?"

"Kagome got kidnapped again."
