*~*~*~*Chapter Dos*~*~*~*~*

Class started out ok, Kagome ended up sitting a couple of tables away from Koga, so she was happy.

"Ok class, I have decided that we are going to start our first project today, you will all get a partner to work with. I have already chosen who will work with each other, so you can look at the list posted on the door when class is over."

The rest of that class went smoothly, except for when Kagome fell off of her seat trying to see who she was working with. She really didn't want to work with Koga, but she was scared that whoever she was working with wouldn't want her as a partner. They might think that I can't do anything, and make fun of me, she thought. But Koga, I know that he already accepted me. It's too bad that Miroku says he is a bad person. Her thoughts were interrupted when the bell rang. She gathered her things and rushed to the door to see who she was working with. She found her name and looked across the paper to see whom she was working with. Hojo, she thought, I wonder who that is.

"Hi!" she heard a male voice say in such a happy tone it should be illegal. "I'm Hojo, you must be Kagome." He extended his hand. She took it and nodded. "Great, so we will be working together for the next two weeks." He said for lack of a better thing to say. "You want to give me your number so we can get together?" he asked. She nodded, got out a piece of paper and wrote it down. He took it from her. "Yeah so I guess I'll see you later!" he said, and with that, he walked away.

Wait a second; I don't think he knows that I can't talk! She thought. This is going to be interesting.

She walked to the cafeteria and met Sango there. She was going on about how big a pervert Miroku was, and how he should die a horrible death. Kagome only giggled.

Lunch went by all too fast, and Kagome found out that her and Sango had a lot in common. Her next class was PE, and she had that with Sango, Miroku, and Inuyasha. Thankfully, Koga was nowhere to be seen. The rest of the day went by fast, and it came time to go home.

Inuyasha and Miroku were talking about some video game, and she was just walking quietly a couple of yards behind them. They were still a while away from his car when someone sneaked their hands around Kagome's waist. Before she had time to clap or get Miroku's attention somehow, she was pulled into an unfamiliar car, and got her hands tied together by one of those zip-tie thingy's, (those annoying plastic bands that tighten, but wont loosen). She turned her head to take a look at her captor, and almost had a heart attack when she saw who it was.

"So, it's been a long time hasn't it Kagome?" Koga! Kagome thought, how stupid does he get? I just saw him like an hour ago. Not even thinking that he was kidnapping her.

"I bet your wondering why I kidnapped you." He paused. "Well, this really is not the way I wanted to do it, I mean, I tried being nice and getting you to trust me so you would come with me at your own will at lunch, but those stupid friends of yours ruined all hope of that."

What is he talking about? What is he going to do to me? She thought, she was taken out of her trance like state when he spoke again. He looked into her eyes. "You don't know who I am do you?"

"..." She shook her head no.

"*Sigh* do you remember a man named Naraku?" he asked. He saw how she paled at the name. "I am his son." Her eyes went wide. "I heard he knew your mother." He said evilly, she tried to kick him, but he easily dodged. "Anyway, he has just been diagnosed with an incurable disease." He said as if it were a boring subject for him. "He will only put me in his will if I do him a favor." He put a hand under her chin and violently jerked her head up so she was facing him. "And that is to get you to say something on tape. Not just anything, but to say that he killed your mother. Now, I don't know why he wants this, but I'm not one to ask questions. So Kagome, this is the part where I say, we can do this the easy way, or we can do this the hard way. So would you like to just get it over with right now?" he asked. She violently shook her head no. "fine then, if that is what you want."

*******MEANWHILE*****

"Miroku." Inuyasha half said, half asked.

"What is it!" he asked, annoyed for some unknown reason.

"Where is Kagome?"

"Uh, oh." He said, suddenly extremely scared.

They both started running back to the school, and on their way they noticed Koga's car speeding away. Inuyasha stopped. "I can smell her." He stated. "She is in that car, and she's scared. Come on Miroku!" he said running back to Miroku's car. He got in the driver's seat and waited for Miroku to get in the passenger side. He threw Inuyasha the keys and they were off. They managed to catch up with he car, and follow it without them noticing, and if they did notice, they showed no sign of it.

****Back with Kagome****

Koga was in the backseat with Kagome, he had is personal driver guy driving.

"Come on Kagome," he said reaching out to touch her cheek. She jerked away. "Why do you have to make this so hard?" he asked, scooting closer to her. He put his hand out to touch her again, but she flinched away from him. "I've had it!" he yelled and smacked her across the face. "Say something!" he yelled in her face.

She couldn't hold it in any longer. She started to cry. She didn't want to talk for him, that was meant for her father. If someone she loved couldn't hear her voice, then he sure as hell couldn't.

She shook her head. "Damn it!" he yelled, grabbing her hair and yanking her head up so she was looking at him. "If you don't talk, you don't even want o know what is going to happen." He said in a deadly low ton. She simply looked at him, and said nothing. The car pulled to a stop, so Koga got out and opened his door; he dragged Kagome out and led her to his room.

*****Meanwhile with Inuyasha*****

"Look, they stopped at hat house, that must be where Koga lives." Miroku said.

"Yeah, come on, let's ditch this car and go in on foot." He parked the car and they both got out, running to the shrubs around the house.

"Can you smell her?" Miroku asked.

Inuyasha sniffed the air, "yeah, it seems like she is in one of the rooms on the second story, over there to your right." He pointed to an open window.

*****Back with Kagome*****

He pushed he onto the bed and tied her hands to the post at the bottom with a number lock, lock, (her hands were still behind her back), "6, 25, 12, I'll be back in an hour or so, I have to take care of some business." And with that, he left the room. Kagome broke down crying. There was no way out of this, he would never let her go until she said it, and there was no way that she was going to say anything to him.

"Hello Kagome." She turned around to see Inuyasha perched on the windowsill. She immediately brightened up. He ran up to her and looked at the lock that connected her hands to the steel bedpost. "It's a number lock, do you know the combination?" he asked her. She hesitantly nodded. 6, 25, 12, she remembered. But how would she tell him?

"Come on Kagome what is it?" he asked, looking her in the eyes she looked at him and shook her head. No, she thought, I can't talk to him, I won't talk to him. She decided.

"Kagome, he is going to be back soon, now what is the combination? You have to talk to me." He kneeled in front of her, and put his hands on her shoulders. "Please. I won't tell anyone you said anything, you can pretend that it never happened." She nodded.

"I.It.. Is s..six, twent..ty five, twe..Twelve." she stuttered, and broke down in tears, he gave her a quick hug knowing she need support, but also knowing that he needed to get her out of there.

"Its ok, good job Kag, I'm going to get you out of here." He said as he put in the numbers she gave him and opened it. He didn't have time to break the zip tie that tied her hands together, so he simply picked her up and jumped out the window. Kagome fought back the urge to scream as the fell from the window. But to her surprise, they landed just fine, and Inuyasha didn't bother to set her down, and ran with her in his arms to Miroku's car waiting a couple of blocks away. He got into the passenger seat with her still in his arms. Miroku drove away as soon as the door shut.

"*Sigh* Kagome bring your hands up to my mouth." Inuyasha said. She gave him a weird look, but did it anyway. He bit the little plastic band that tied her hands, setting them free. She rubbed her wrists and looked to the blushing Inuyasha she was sitting on. She wrapped her arms around his neck and cried into his chest. Thank you. She mouthed out the words.

"Your welcome." He stated.

The rest of the car ride to Miroku's house was silent. Kagome fell asleep on Inuyasha, and everything was ok.

"Inuyasha, do you want to spend the night tonight? My mom is gone on a business trip for the next week or so, so it won't be a problem." He said as he pulled into his driveway.

"Sure, Sess won't care, I'll just call him and let him know just in case." He said as he opened his door and got out all the while carrying Kagome. Miroku ran in front of Inuyasha to open the door for him.

"Her room is right up here." He said leading Inuyasha up the stairs and into Kagome's room. Inuyasha set her down on her bed. "Yeah, she got the room connected to mine because of her night-terrors." He stated.

"Oh, what kind of night terrors?" he asked, sounding interested.

"Well, she doesn't exactly tell us, but she usually ends up sleeping in my room before the night is over." Inuyasha nodded.

"Hey, I was also meaning to ask why she moved in with you, but I didn't want to ask while she was around." He stated, feeling slightly awkward for asking him that.

"Oh, her mom was murdered when she was young, that is when she stopped talking, and her dad died just about a month ago. So her and her little brother moved in with us. My mom and her mom used to be best friends, so were me and Kagome, she is like a sister to me." He told him. He nodded.

"What do you want to do?" he asked, he was starting to get bored, and he had only been there for a half hour or so.

"I don't know, we cold go get a movie from down stairs and bring it up to my room." He suggested.

"I do not think so." Miroku looked at him puzzled. "The big screen is downstairs." He said, running out of a Miroku's room and to the living room. They decided to watch The Matrix, and about half way through the movie Kagome came down and watched the rest of it with them. When it was over, they decided go to the store and get stuff to make dinner. They came back with all the makings of pizza. Let me just say this: it was a huge mess. They ended up having to make more dough after Inuyasha tried to spin it like the professionals do and it landed in the bubbly sink. They all knew they would be laughing at that for years to come. Before they knew it, it was time for bed. They couldn't stay up all night like Inuyasha and Miroku usually did when spending the night at each other's houses because they had school in the morning. So they decided to go to bed at 11:30 PM.

**11:00 PM**

"Hey guys, I think that we should get ready for bed if we are going to be asleep by 11:30." Miroku stated. Kagome nodded and Inuyasha said yeah. Kagome went off to her room and changed into her pajamas, thinking about how happy she was that she got a break from having to watch her little brother. He went of on a school camping trip for 3 days. She climbed into bed, with the light still on, and waited for Miroku to come in, they had a tradition. Every night, she would wait for him to come in and say goodnight, and he would turn the light off for her. She would listen to him walk into his room and get into bed.

"Hey Kag." Miroku said as he and Inuyasha walked into her room. She smiled at him. He walked up o her and kissed her on the forehead. "Goodnight." He said and turned off the light. He started to walk through to the bathroom to his room. Kagome immediately sat up. He forgot to turn on my nightlight! Suddenly Inuyasha came running back into her room and red the light on. He could smell her sudden fear.

"Are you ok?" he asked. She shook her head and pointed to he nightlight, extremely embarrassed. He didn't seem to care that she was scared of being alone in the dark, so he simply walked over to the out let and flipped the switch that turned the light on. "Goodnight Kag." And with that, he walked back into Miroku's room. Kagome fell asleep almost instantly, as did the two guys.

1:00 AM

Kagome got up from her bed, breathing heavily. She had had another nightmare. She got out of bed and ran into Miroku's room. Little did she know she woke Inuyasha up, (who was sleeping on the trundle bed), in doing so. She climbed into bed with Miroku und fell back asleep.

Wow, I guess her sleeping in here really helps a lot, Inuyasha thought. I could smell her fear slowly disappear as she got into his bed. I wish I could be in Miroku's place. And with that final thought, he drifted off to sleep as well.
