Thanks for the reviews you guys! I love 'em.
Sorry for the long wait, I had a major case of writers block. Please review at the end of the chapter, and I'll try my best t update faster. It definitely will be out by next week.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*chapter seis*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Look, you guys, I said I was sorry! It's not like I 'meant' to miss the exit!" Inuyasha put emphasis on the word 'meant'.
"Yea, yea, what ever, lets just get out of this stupid car!" Sango yelled.
They had spent forty-five minutes looking for a way to get back on track, so everyone was complaining. Inuyasha's car had no airconditioning, and it was starting to get really hot in there.
"Hey! My car is not stupid!" Inuyasha protested, Sango rolled her eyes and got out.
"*Sigh* fresh air!" Kagome took a big breath as she got out of the stuffy car. The others did the same, even Inuyasha.
"Come on you guys! I want to get in the water!" Miroku whined.
"Fine, were coming." They said all at the same time. They walked onto the hot sand and found a nice spot near the water. The boys immediately ran to the water, ripping of their shirts and throwing them on the ground as they did so. With in seconds they were seeing who could swim out the farthest. Kagome and Sango soon joined in. Kagome was the first one to turn back, she was too afraid the waves would swallow her up. (Much like me) Miroku was next; he said something about killer seals. Next, believe it or not was Inuyasha, of course he denied it, but we all know the truth. Sango won, and almost drown in doing so. She barely made it back to shore before she collapsed. They spent the next hour or so just splashing around and dunking each other.
They also had some men against women sand castle building contest. The guy's ended up looking like a girl in a bikini, so they lost. It was not a 'castle' the girls argued. They finally decided to lie down and tan, well, the girls did, the guys said they were 'taking a rest' closer to the shore.
"Owww!" Kagome yelped when she lay down. She cut her hand on a pointy shell that was in the ground
"Oh my gosh are you ok Kagome?" Sango asked worriedly as she reached out her hand to try and take a look at it. Kagome flinched away from her, it hurt when she put pressure on it. It looked to be pretty deep too.
"No, I'm fine, let me just go wash it out in the bathrooms over there." Kagome nodded her head in the direction of the bathrooms. They were far considering you had to walk in sand to get there.
"Well, do you want me to come with you?"
"No, no, it's ok, I'll go by myself." And with that she got up and walked away, holding her hand as she did so.
Sango walked over o the boys. "You guys, I am going to go get something from the lifeguard, 'you' watch our stuff ok?" they nodded, not really paying attention. She shook her head and walked away in search of the lifeguard.
***With Kagome****
She waked into the bathroom silently and took a whole bunch of paper towels out of the dispenser. Then, she wetted them down and put a little soap on it. Wincing slightly, she cleaned her cut and tightly wrapped some more around it.
Just as she turned around to go, she bumped into someone, almost making her fall if it wasn't for them catching her. She gasped and looked up expecting to see Inuyasha or Miroku, but instead she saw someone else. He looked familiar, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. That is when she remembered this was a girl's bathroom, and saw that there were some other people with him.
"Hey guys, look what we have here. It's that mute girl from school." Kagome's eyes widened and she jerked out of is grip. She tried to run to the door but he grabbed onto her arm. "Don't even try. You're outnumbered. Besides, you can't even call for help." Kagome tried to speak but nothing came out of her mouth.
"Look boys, she's trying to talk." The man holding onto her said mockingly. The other guys laughed.
"Hey Hojo, can we see her for a second?" one of the guys in the crowd asked. He was licking his lips, and staring at her up and down, making her get the chills.
"Maybe later, I want to see her first." He brought out his pocketknife. "Now, Kagome, you aren't going to draw any attention to us are you?" he asked, digging the blade into her leg. She whimpered slightly and violently shook her head no. "Now that's a good girl." He put his knife away and look down at Kagome. He put an arm around her waist and pulled her closer to him, he leaned down so their fasces were almost touching. He used is other hand to stroke her cheek. She tried to get out of his grip, but it just made him hold on tighter.
"Come on Hojo, you can see her when ever you want tonight! We have somewhere to be!" one of his followers yelled out. 'What!' Kagome thought. 'He is planning on taking me home with him! I do NOT think so!'
As Hojo was about to answer him, the door burst open. Everyone turned to see who it was. Sango walked in, looking down at something in her hands.
"Hey Kagome, I got you some band..." she stopped talking when she saw the situation.
"Hello Sango." one of them said.
"Hello yourself! What do you think your doing!!??" she yelled out at them. "Let go of her right now!" she started to walk over to him, and just as she was about to hit him he snapped his fingers. Immediately, one of his stronger friends came up from behind Sango and wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her away from Kagome.
"Be careful to cover her mouth James, she's a loud one." He said with a smirk, the man holding her back did as he said.
"So Sango is it." She man breathed down her neck, making her shiver. His breath smelled of alcohol and cigarette smoke. His large rough hand still covered her mouth. Sango looked to Kagome, their eyes locked. Sango sent her a look that clearly said yell-for-help.
Kagome took a deep breath. This Hojo guy was pretty intimidating, (I know, ooc, I just couldn't think of any names.) he now had his hands around her waist and was whispering things into her ear that she tuned out. She had to get herself to talk. For Sango.
"Hey, I don't want to stay here. Someone could walk in any time." Hojo told the others in the room. "Do you think you could get her out without making a big deal?" the man nodded and gave Sango a look. She gulped, resulting in a huge smile on his face.
"Lets go." James commanded. He took his hand off Sango's mouth and took a pocketknife out of his pocket. He draped a towel over her and snaked an arm around her, holding the knife sharply against her side. The towel was covering his hand so know one would ever be able to see the knife. Sango was trebling. He put his lips to her ear, "Say a word, and your friends a goner." He whispered.
Kagome was not any better off. Hojo leaned down, his lips brushed her ear.
"Bring any attention to us and I'll give the single." He nodded towards Sango. "And your friends a goner." He kissed her cheek and pushed her towards Sango.
Kagome looked to Sango, who looked straight back at her with pleading eyes. 'Come on Kagome, you have to yell out!' Sango thought. Kagome shook her head. She couldn't do that to Sango.
They walked out of the Bathroom with Kagome and Hojo behind everyone.
*****MEANWHILE, with Inuyasha and Miroku*****
"Hey, Inuyasha." Miroku said looking up to the clouds.
"What is it?" he asked.
"There's sand in my pants." He said as if he were saying something completely normal.
"Oh," he said as if it ere normal also. "Go to the bathroom and shake it out."
"Ok" and with that, he got up and started walking. That's when he saw the guys walking away with his 'wanna be girlfriend' and 'little sister'. He immediately ran back to Inuyasha for help.
"Inuyasha! Get up! The girls are in trouble!!!" Inuyasha immediately shot up.
"Where." He said/asked in a deathly low tone. Miroku backed up and answered him.
"Over there, in between the parking lot and the bathrooms." Miroku started running, as did Inuyasha. When they finally were within yards of them Inuyasha called out.
"Hey Kagome and Sango, where are you going with out us?" he sounded pretty calm for the way he was feeling. Everyone turned around to see Inuyasha and Miroku.
"Aww, shut up Inuyasha, they want to come with us isn't that right?" Hojo asked. He got no reply.
"Sango, do you want to go with them?" she was about to say no when the man with his arm around her pressed the knife to her side harder, causing it to bleed.
"Well, do ya?" James asked her evilly. She was almost to the point of crying. "Do ya!?" he shook her roughly.
"Yes." She cried out. "I want to go with them." She was now completely crying. Miroku looked stunned, but he still knew they were forcing her to say that somehow.
"What about you Kagome?" Inuyasha asked. "Do you want to go with these losers?" she tried to talk, she really did, but all that came out were a few stutters. She couldn't even say a whole word. A couple minutes later a policeman that was walking by decided to check to see that everything was ok.
"What's going on here?" he asked in a deep voice.
"Oh, we were just heading home when these two fellows came along. They said something about wanting to take our girls." Hojo answered quickly.
"Is this true?" he asked, looking to Inuyasha and Miroku. They shook their heads no. "in that case, I'm just going to have to ask the ladies." He turned to Sango. "Do you want to go with him?" he pointed to James. He dug the knife deeper into her skin.
"Yes." She cried out. James smirked and loosened his grip on the knife.
"Alright then, haw bout you young lady?" he asked Kagome. "Do you want to go with this man?" she looked to Sango and nodded. There was no way she would put Sango in danger. The policemen gave Inuyasha and Miroku meaningful looks and walked away without another word.
Hojo raised his eyebrows twice at Inuyasha and Miroku and dragged Kagome into his car. Inuyasha and Miroku stood there helplessly. Well, more like Miroku held
"NOOOO!!!!!!" Kagome suddenly yelled. "H....H....Help!" Inuyasha came running to her side, he pulled her out of Hojo's grasp.
She buried her face in his chest and cried. "Come on Sango, lets go." Inuyasha called out. She stood in front of he car petrified. The man still had the knife. 'What do I do? What do I do?' she kept repeating in her head over and over again. Finally, she made her decision.
"Miroku!!!" she pulled the towel off of her, revealing her deep cut and the man's knife. For a second everyone stood there shocked, that is until Miroku kicked the guy in the head and ran with Sango in his arms. Inuyasha somehow knocked Hojo out. His other little followers were too afraid to do anything. They finally reached his car. Inuyasha got in the front seat and Kagome the passenger side. Miroku sat with Sango in the back, examining her wound. Within seconds they were off, not leaving them any time to come after them.
"You ok?" Inuyasha asked breathless. Kagome was looking out the window. She nodded. "You gonna say something?" she shook her head no. Inuyasha sighed. "Look, Kagome, please just tell me what is wrong." She was holding back tears now. "Please." He said softer. "Everything's ok now, they won't touch you ever again. I promise." She looked at him, "Now please tell me what's wrong." She opened her mouth as if she was going to say something, but no words came out of her mouth. A couple of second later she tried again.
"I. I ...Was so scared." She started crying quietly. "I thought he was gonna take me away." She completely broke down.
"Shhhh, its ok. We're almost home." She quieted down a bit, but she was still whimpering softly. There was silence for the next five minutes or so until Inuyasha finally spoke up.
"What's that smell?" he asked, sticking his nose in the air. They had finally got home, so Inuyasha parked the car and went around the other side to help Kagome out. He ran around and opened the door for Sango and Miroku on his way. He got a quiet/meek thank you from Sango. 'That's weird,' Inuyasha thought, 'When has Sango ever acted meek?' that's when he remembered the smell. "It smells like blood, and not Sango's either." Inuyasha Said out loud as he opened Kagome's door.
She looked away from him as she got out of the car. He gave her a weird look. As she tried to take a step she stumbled and fell into Inuyasha's arms. He immediately scoped her up bridal style and carried her inside. "What's wrong? Where are you bleeding?" he asked, obviously really concerned. She looked dawn at her leg. The deep cut was towards the top of her leg. (AN, sorry, I can't really explain, I'm not thinking straight right now) his eyes widened and he quickened his pace. There was a lot of blood around were she was stabbed.
He finally reached her room and laid her down on her bed. He looked at Kagome who was now sitting up on her bed wincing.
"Kagome, "Inuyasha said nervously. "You're going to have to take off your pants so I can see the wound better." She nodded; it was no big deal right? She was still wearing her bathing suit after all. She tried to stand up but ended up falling onto Inuyasha again. He walked behind her so he could help hold her up; she had her elbows hooked onto his arms.
He slowly reached down and unbuttoned her pants. He pulled the two ends apart so the zipper came undone. They were both blushing like crazy. He carefully slid them off her so as not to slid the rough fabric over her cut. Then he carried her back to her bed and set her down, (she was sitting.) he examined her cut only to find that it was as bad as he thought it was. It had to be at least 3 inches long and ¾ of an inch deep. (It doesn't sound that deep, but if you look at a ruler, and think about it, it's pretty bad.) Inuyasha cringed at the sight and the strong smell of blood.
"Look, Kagome, you have two choices." She nodded. "You can either go to the doctors," she visibly paled. "Or you can take a quick shower and let me clean a dress your wound." She nodded when he said the second choice. "Are you sure? It would be a lot better if you went to the doctors, of course you would have to get stitches...."
"I don't want to go to the doctors!!!" she shouted out. For some reason she always hated going to the doctors. Shots and stitches were the worst.
"Ok then, let me help you." He picked her up and carried her to the bathroom. He set her down on the counter and turned the water on warm. He put the plug in and let the tub fill. As he started to leave the room she spoke.
"Wait!" he turned around.
"What is it?"
"Thanks." She said shyly. He nodded and started to leave again.
"Wait, one more thing." He stopped and turned around.
"Yeah?" he asked.
"I still need help." He smirked and walked back into the bathroom, shutting and locking the door behind him.................
*****With Sango and Miroku, (rewinded to when they got into the car at the beach.) **********
Inuyasha sped of the second everyone was in the car. Sango was trembling in the corner of the backseat. Miroku scooted over so he was next to her. He put an arm around her shoulder. She was crying. Strong, loud, unbeatable Sango was crying. Miroku was now officially worried.
"Shhhhhh. Tell me everything." He whispered. The two tuned out the other people in the car. She leaned away from him and looked out the window, still crying. "Come on, you know you can tell me anything." She hesitantly nodded.
"I know." She sniffled.
"Please?" he asked. She sighed.
"Well, I was going to give Kagome the bandage that I got her for her hand." She paused for a sniffle. "And when I walked in, Hojo had his arms around Kagome, and she looked really scared so I told him to leave her alone. And....and....then" Miroku gave her a reassuring squeeze on her shoulders. "And then James he came up from behind me and he.... He...and then he held on to me...and he wouldn't let go." She started to cry again. "He put his hand over my mouth, and I couldn't breath for a while, and I thought I was going to die....then he got out the knife." She paused and looked at Miroku. He gave her the most sympathetic look he could muster. She continued, "He said if I said anything that he would kill Kagome. I guess Hojo said the same thing to her. Anyway, after her put the towel around me, he kissed me," Miroku's eyes got wide. "And he cut me, and pushed me out the door." She said the last part quickly, happy to be over with the worst of it. "And then you came." She said looking down.
Miroku smiled, a fake one, but it still counts. He brought her into a hug and held her the rest of the ride home.

"Look, you guys, I said I was sorry! It's not like I 'meant' to miss the exit!" Inuyasha put emphasis on the word 'meant'.
"Yea, yea, what ever, lets just get out of this stupid car!" Sango yelled.
They had spent forty-five minutes looking for a way to get back on track, so everyone was complaining. Inuyasha's car had no airconditioning, and it was starting to get really hot in there.
"Hey! My car is not stupid!" Inuyasha protested, Sango rolled her eyes and got out.
"*Sigh* fresh air!" Kagome took a big breath as she got out of the stuffy car. The others did the same, even Inuyasha.
"Come on you guys! I want to get in the water!" Miroku whined.
"Fine, were coming." They said all at the same time. They walked onto the hot sand and found a nice spot near the water. The boys immediately ran to the water, ripping of their shirts and throwing them on the ground as they did so. With in seconds they were seeing who could swim out the farthest. Kagome and Sango soon joined in. Kagome was the first one to turn back, she was too afraid the waves would swallow her up. (Much like me) Miroku was next; he said something about killer seals. Next, believe it or not was Inuyasha, of course he denied it, but we all know the truth. Sango won, and almost drown in doing so. She barely made it back to shore before she collapsed. They spent the next hour or so just splashing around and dunking each other.
They also had some men against women sand castle building contest. The guy's ended up looking like a girl in a bikini, so they lost. It was not a 'castle' the girls argued. They finally decided to lie down and tan, well, the girls did, the guys said they were 'taking a rest' closer to the shore.
"Owww!" Kagome yelped when she lay down. She cut her hand on a pointy shell that was in the ground
"Oh my gosh are you ok Kagome?" Sango asked worriedly as she reached out her hand to try and take a look at it. Kagome flinched away from her, it hurt when she put pressure on it. It looked to be pretty deep too.

"What's going on here?" he asked in a deep voice.
"Oh, we were just heading home when these two fellows came along. They said something about wanting to take our girls." Hojo answered quickly.

"Ok then, let me help you." He picked her up and carried her to the bathroom. He set her down on the counter and turned the water on warm. He put the plug in and let the tub fill. As he started to leave the room she spoke.
"Wait!" he turned around.
"What is it?"
"Thanks." She said shyly. He nodded and started to leave again.
"Wait, one more thing." He stopped and turned around.
"Yeah?" he asked.
"I still need help." He smirked and walked back into the bathroom, shutting and locking the door behind him.................
*****With Sango and Miroku, (rewinded to when they got into the car at the beach.) **********
Inuyasha sped of the second everyone was in the car. Sango was trembling in the corner of the backseat. Miroku scooted over so he was next to her. He put an arm around her shoulder. She was crying. Strong, loud, unbeatable Sango was crying. Miroku was now officially worried.
"Shhhhhh. Tell me everything." He whispered. The two tuned out the other people in the car. She leaned away from him and looked out the window, still crying. "Come on, you know you can tell me anything." She hesitantly nodded.
"I know." She sniffled.
"Please?" he asked. She sighed.
"Well, I was going to give Kagome the bandage that I got her for her hand." She paused for a sniffle. "And when I walked in, Hojo had his arms around Kagome, and she looked really scared so I told him to leave her alone. And....and....then" Miroku gave her a reassuring squeeze on her shoulders. "And then James he came up from behind me and he.... He...and then he held on to me...and he wouldn't let go." She started to cry again. "He put his hand over my mouth, and I couldn't breath for a while, and I thought I was going to die....then he got out the knife." She paused and looked at Miroku. He gave her the most sympathetic look he could muster. She continued, "He said if I said anything that he would kill Kagome. I guess Hojo said the same thing to her. Anyway, after her put the towel around me, he kissed me," Miroku's eyes got wide. "And he cut me, and pushed me out the door." She said the last part quickly, happy to be over with the worst of it. "And then you came." She said looking down.
Miroku smiled, a fake one, but it still counts. He brought her into a hug and held her the rest of the ride home.
