Chapter 37

It hadn't taken her long to get to Kikiyo. She was also not surprised when she had found Kikiyo sitting with Bank and two of the members and with a male hanyou she had no idea who he was. With a smile on her face, Kagome faced the five before she turned to Bank and his two friends and said, "Bank it's nice to see you but it would seem that you were not careful."

"Sorry Kagome. I've had a lot more on my mind lately." Bank answered.

"I suppose that's right, just get yourself and these two out of here, leave the rest to me, but you can be sure that I'll be seeing you later today, the three of you." Kagome stated in a sweet yet deadly voice as she took a seat in front of Kikiyo and her boyfriend.

"Are you sure that's a wise thing to do?" Kikiyo was heard. "I wouldn't trust them that much if I were you."

"You aren't me and yes I do trust them, besides, I know just where to find them." Kagome answered as she turned to look over her boyfriend before locking eyes with Kikiyo for a moment before she asked, "Now, who exactly is this boyfriend of yours that I helped him stay with you."

"This is Nick, he just moved back from the states." Kikiyo answered before adding, "But I do believe we have more important matters to talk about."

"I believe we do, but I would feel a lot better if Nick wasn't here. I don't know him and I don't trust him enough to explain things since this is somewhat of a personal matter to me." Kagome stated as she took a seat.

"He is not going anywhere." Kikiyo hissed. "If you make him leave I will go straight to the school."

"Are you sure you want to play that card? You still owe me." Kagome hissed out in her own anger.

"Ladies, why don't I just go and get us something to eat since it is around lunch time." Nick offered as he tried to prevent them from fighting.

"Alright, thank you but I've already eaten." Kagome stated.

"You know what I like baby, and don't take long." Kikiyo answered with a smile on her face.

Once Nick was out of hearing range, Kagome turned to Kikiyo and said, "First of all nice pick, he's hot, secondly you are not going to say a word."

"What are you talking about, I need to report this; it is our job." Kikiyo hissed out before adding, "And I would also like to note that you're right, I did get a nice pick."

"I will handle it, you have my word, whatever they were doing is not going to affect the safety of this kingdom." Kagome stated in a confidant voice. "If it turns out to be the case then I'll report them myself. That is one thing you don't have to worry about." Kagome stated.

"How can I be so sure?" Kikiyo asked.

"To think that I would have earned your trust by now," Kagome stated as she leaned back into her seat. "After taking over the kings advisor job for a week, I want to protect this place as much as you do, that you can believe."

"Uh…you have until the end of the week and you will have to report to me." Kikiyo hissed.

"I'm the president and I report to no one. Now is that all?" Kagome asked as she stood up.

"Yeah, but there is one more thing I have got to know…why aren't you at school? I got my parents to get me out since I told them that I wanted to get to know my future mate a lot more." Kikiyo answered.

"I got in a fight with Inuyasha, didn't really feel like being at school for his drama queen shit…but there is something I would like for you to answer and I won't let it go if you try to avoid the question." Kagome explained.

"Oh, and what is that?" Kikiyo asked as she couldn't help but grin while keeping her eyes locked with those of her cousins.

"How did you know that I was at Rin's house and how the hell did you get her number when not that many people know it?" Kagome growled out.

"It was easy to guess that you were there since Sango's parents would have not allowed you to stay there and miss out on school. Secondly I got a hold of her house number through the school." Kikiyo answered.

"Well I guess that's it, we'll talk tomorrow." Kagome stated as she stood up to leave.

"Thanks, if it weren't for your help I'd still be engaged to Inuyasha while cheating on him. That would have not gone well with my parents or with his for that matter." Kikiyo whispered.

"And I would have had to fight for Inuyasha rather then you just handing him over." Kagome stated with a grin on her face.

"True…but I'm glad we didn't have to fight cousin." Kikiyo stated with a true smile on her face.

Having nothing more to say, Kagome nodded and took her leave knowing that she would have to go and meet with her friends. She wasn't going back to school, she was not ready to face him, especially when it seemed like she would be kissing her regular life goodbye. 'That asswhole is not going to get away with it so easily.' Kagome thought as she began to make her way back to Rin's house. After all she did have a copy of her house key and she would be damned if she was going to go see the jerk now.

Rin had just gotten to school just as they had let out of lunch. As she made her way to go and meet with her friends, she was not surprised when she noticed a pissed off Inuyasha sitting under the tree with Miroku and Sesshomaru. With a smile on her face, Rin walked up to Sesshomaru and said, "Hey baby, waiting for someone?"

"Where were you?" Sesshomaru growled.

"Sorry, had to go and take care of something with Kagome." Rin answered as she took a seat in his lap.

"Where is the wench?" Inuyasha growled out in anger.

"She was called by Kikiyo, student council business and all that." Rin answered as she turned to lock eyes with her two other friends.

"Oh, and are we going to see her later on?" Sango asked as she noticed the look that was well hidden deep in her friends eyes.

"Yeah, she said she needed us to go with her to the place for one last time, Bank and the boys got caught and she needs to go and see what that is all about." Rin answered.

"Are you going to be going with her?" Sesshomaru growled out in anger.

"You can't keep me from going, I told her I would go with her." Rin hissed out in anger. "Besides we've talked about this before."

"Doesn't mean that I like it, why don't I just go with you." Sesshomaru offered.

"I've already told you the risk and I'm not going to go to let you do it so just fucking drop it!" Rin yelled out in anger. "Come on girls, there's more to the story."

"Later baby." Ayame growled out in a sweet voice that held promise if he dared try to follow them.

"Miroku, I'll see you tomorrow, looks like we can't go out for dinner as planned." Was all Sango had to say before she went after her friends.

Once the girls were out of hearing range, Miroku turned to his best friend/cousin and growled out, "Way to fuck us all over man."

"What the hell did you do this time mutt?" Koga growled.

"Feh I didn't do anything but I'm sure as hell not letting her get away with anything." Inuyasha growled out.

"And how exactly are you going to follow them without their knowing?" Sesshomaru asked in an annoyed voice. "You don't even know where the hell they are going."

"Well I don't know about you dogs but I trust my girl. I'll check you alls later." Koga stated before he took his leave.

"I'm not doing it." Miroku stated once Koga was out of hearing range. "I am not risking Sango's fury for your own selfish needs."

"Feh, it wasn't a request monk, think out it this way, she's still going to see her ex too…do you want her to see him without you being there?" Inuyasha shot back with a grin on his face.

"Sorry monk you have no choice in the matter, you will be helping us." Sesshomaru growled.

"Uh…I really hope that you guys don't fuck me over." Miroku stated in a tired voice. "And you better not be late, we'll meet at four thirty so that we can find a place to hide before we follow after them."

"Feh knew you would see it my way." Inuyasha growled before he took his leave.

Soon the rest of the day flew by and the guys and the girls were all getting ready. Just as the girls had arrived, Kagome turned to her friends with a smile on her face. Before she could even say a word, Rin turned to look around as she tried to figure out why she was so on guard. Brushing it off as guilt, Rin turned to Kagome and nodded her head before she said, "We're good."

"Good, now let's get this over with, he has his intended and I have mine to get back to. I don't want to stick around that long." Kagome stated.

"What did Kikiyo say?" Ayame growled out, "Is she going to keep her mouth shut?"

"Yeah, I got her to let me take care of it." Kagome answered, "Just remember girls, no one makes a move till I give the word, I need to make sure that they answer all of my questions."

"And for their sake I hope that they don't try anything and that they answer all of your questions." Sango stated.

"Alright, let's just get this over with; I want to call Sesshomaru as soon as we're done here so that I can let him know that I'm fine." Rin was heard before she turned to Kagome to add, "Did you at least try the test tube while we were at school?"

"Test tube? What is that supposed to mean?" Ayame was heard.

"The test to see that if she really is the missing heir you really need to learn to keep up girl, I'm starting to wonder. But mostly I'm starting to worry about you." Sango teased her with a grin on her face.

"Yeah, and I hate to say it but the monk was right." Kagome stated in a calm and serious voice before adding, "Alright girls, you know the drill."

After hiding their aura and making sure that they weren't being followed, Kagome led the way never knowing that she and her friends would have to fight in order to keep their boyfriends safe. Just as they had arrived, Kagome was not surprised when she found everyone waiting for them and was not surprised when she found her ex with his intended by his side waiting for her. After taking in a calming breath, Kagome locked eyes with demon before her and asked, "You're not going to make this easy for me are you?"

"No chance in hell." His girl was heard.

"This has nothing to do with you so why don't you go wait for him in the bed room like a good little fuck you are." Sango hissed out in a tainted voice and with a grin on her face.

"She's my second in command and her place is at my side." Haku was heard.

"Have you forgotten Haku?" Kagome asked as she removed the seals so that her tattoo came to a life. "You had me marked as the second and made sure that this mark would not go away until the two of us had mates."

"Now where are Bank and the two goons that got themselves caught?" Ayame growled as she backed up her friend.

"Come on baby, you got to remember the fun times we had, just come with me and let's leave this for the higher ups." Ayame's ex boyfriend was heard.

"I have an intended now so you can go fuck yourself." Ayame growled in anger and promise filled voice.

"That goes for you too Kei." Sango was heard.

"Sorry about being caught Kagome. We were just in a rush." Bank was heard as he and his two friends came from the back of the rooms.

"We told you to go hide." Yuka was heard. "She's not on our side anymore."

"Says you, if I would have not given a damn I would have let Kikiyo handle things so shut the fuck up and stick to laying on your back bitch." Kagome hissed out in anger as she took a step forward.

"Kagome, you don't want to do this." Haku was heard as he got in front of his intended. "I love her more then what I loved you and I will protect her, I will protect her the way I should have protected you long ago."

But just as Kagome was going to add to his comment, Kagome froze in shock and in fury when Inuyasha appeared next to her growling at the demons that surrounded them. Just as she was about to tell him to back off, Kagome watched as Inuyasha charged at Haku without uttering a word. As she watched the girl go for Inuyasha, Kagome quickly jumped in and threw her against the wall. Just as Haku was about to shoot Inuyasha, Kagome let out her true aura as she called out, "Shot my lover, my mate, and I'll kill this bitch where I hold her."

"You wouldn't dare." Haku growled. "That would go pass our promise, our blood oath."

"Blood oath or not…if you even make him bleed I'll cut this bitch up to the point you'd never had a mate…now let him go before I let my blood lust get to me." Kagome growled out as she pushed her dagger into the girl's neck to cause her to bleed just a bit.

"An eye for an eye baby." Haku growled as he loaded the gun.

"Do you really want to play that game with her?" Rin was heard just as all his members fell to the floor in pain.

"Chose wisely." Sesshomaru growled as he drew his sword.

As Haku lowered his gun he growled out, "Let her go."

"First I need my fucking answers." Kagome stated as she let his now passed out intended go.

"Bank, don't keep us waiting." Ayame growled.

"We heard that there is a spider demon trying to take over our turf, we were only getting ready and got careless." Bank answered.

"I swear that's it." One of his friends was heard.

"Are you going to need us to take care of it?" Ayame asked in a slightly worried voice.

"No we got it, you can just stay out of it…Kagome if you come with me now I'll remove that mark and we'll both be free of our past mistakes." Haku was heard.

"Fine…girls we're done here, just keep this up and we'll leave in a bit." Kagome answered.

"You're not going anywhere with the bastard." Inuyasha growled out in anger as his eyes began to bleed into red.

"I'm still pissed at you, and I need to get this done some time and I can't present myself with this damn thing on." Kagome pointed out. "Rin hold him back."

"Will do." Rin was heard.

"I promise to take good, care of her." Haku was heard with a grin on his face.

"We're not going anywhere; you are doing it right here and now." Kagome stated in a stern voice.

Realizing that he was not going to get a chance to anger the hanyou, Haku came up to Kagome and began to remove the mark he had left on her so long ago. They watched as he dug his blood and poison filled claws into the tattoo of the louts flower into her wrist. They watched as she stood still as if she was unaffected by it. Once he had finished and once the tattoo had disappeared from sight, Kagome smiled as she threw Haku away from her while saying, "As of now I no longer have any ties with you. Bank is still my friends so you can't and won't be able to keep me from protecting my friends. And if I ever find out that you are planning some short of way to get back at me you can bet your sorry ass that I'll come looking for you and kill you where you stand. I've killed before because of you so don't think for a moment that I won't do it again for the people that I love."

As they watched them all leave, Haku couldn't help but grin. He knew that she could and would take care of herself just fine. He had always known that she would go against him in everything, it was one of the many reasons he had been glad that she had left him, and it meant that he wouldn't have to put her in her place in front of his gang. The only thing he could do for her now was hope that she would be able to stay safe so that he would never have to see her again.

Once they had reached the outside of the ruins, Ayame took in a deep breath to make sure that her mate had not been stupid enough to follow these idiots that were about to have their ass handed to them by her angry friends. Just as she had finished sniffing the air, Ayame turned around just in time to find Kagome, Sango, and Rin all kick the guys in the balls. As she watched them fall to the floor she couldn't help but smile as she said, "I'm glad my love wasn't stupid enough to follow you idiots."

"What the hell were you even thinking? You could have been killed!" an angry Kagome was heard as she allowed her anger and worried tears to fall. "What would I do if you would have been killed…what would I do…how would I move on?"

"You idiot, I told you that I would be fine."Rin roared. "If you don't fucking trust me then we have no business being together you idiot, relationships are based on trust!"

"Miroku you ass whole, how can you datary me like that…you knew that you were never to come here without us…and yet here you are, leading these idiots into danger…tell me…how the hell am I supposed to trust you now?" a very sad and hurt Sango was heard.

"Don't blame him." Inuyasha was heard as he began to get over the pain from being kicked.

"We…blackmailed him into bringing us here…he didn't do anything wrong." Sesshomaru added.

"Well, I am going home, see you girls tomorrow." Ayame was heard before she took off like a bat out of hell.

"Why would you do that?" Rin asked. "Do you really not trust me that much?"

"I trust you…I just wanted to make sure that you were safe." Sesshomaru answered.

"I was still angry about how you snapped at me and then when I realized what you were going to do, the danger you were going to put yourself in I couldn't take it." Inuyasha explained as he looked up to lock eyes with Kagome. "I didn't want to be the reason you got hurt."

As the three of them took in a calming breath, they all tried to get their heart beats under control. They didn't care if they had been followed; they were still getting over the fact that they could have been killed. That the men they were in love with were so close to death and yet they didn't know it, they were just worried about protecting them. As she let herself fall to the floor, Kagome locked eyes with Inuyasha and said, "You idiot…you fucking idiot."

"Feh, I'm your idiot wench." Inuyasha growled out as he reached out to hold her.

"Don't think that you're off the hook." Rin hissed as she jumped into Sesshomaru's arms.

"And you…" Sango was heard as she locked eyes with Miroku. "You need to grow a bigger pair so that they don't push you around anymore," as she smiled at him while falling in front of him so that she could be held by him.

A/N: Didn't really know how to end this chapter and figured that would be the best place, since I couldn't come up with anything else. Please let me know what you all thing and….REIVEW!
