Thank you so much for the reviews! This one's longer, but not quite enough,
still. Once I get into it a bit more, the chapters will get much longer.

Chapter 2: I'll Break Your Face
~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~
"Miss Higurashi, this way please."
A stern-looking man led a horror-stricken girl down the numerous rows of cells to a larger one near the end.
The inhabitants consisted of one tough-looking young man with long black hair and violet eyes, a tall, passive seeming man with white blonde hair and amber eyes, and a rugged individual with rich blue eyes and black hair raised in a high ponytail. They were all spread out as far as possible, sending angry glares at each other occasionally.
As Kagome approached the cell, they all turned and stared. The man with the violet eyes looked shocked. His jaw slacked and he mouthed a word Kagome could not make out. The man with the light hair looked on, unamused. The one in the ponytail ogled at her a moment, then grinned smugly.
She, on the other hand, was scared to death.
"Kagome Higurashi, meet your new inmates, Inuyasha, his brother.."
"Ahem."
"Half brother, Sesshoumaru, and, last, but certainly not the least amount of trouble, Kouga. Sorry to stick you with this bunch, but you don't exactly get first choice in prison. My assistant.."
At this, he coughed, at which an all-too-innocent looking man entered, smiling as if there was no thought in his head other than cotton candy and rainbows.
"Hojou will keep an eye out to make sure they won't be too hard on you."
Hojou grinned sheepishly at Kagome, while her new cellmates gained some self-control. As she was let into the cell, the door closed solidly behind her, and the two left her. Alone. With three strange, yet utterly gorgeous, men.
"..K-Kikyou?" Inuyasha whispered weakly.
"Kikyou? KIKYOU?! What the heck is the matter with you?!"
Kagome was frustrated to tears by now. She was in jail. And this man was calling her by some name. For no apparent reason. There was no way she was going to take this from this guy.
He seemed shocked, and rather hurt, but eventually a look of realization crossed his face.
"My name is Kagome. Get it right. Ka-GO-me."
Sighing, she glanced at the smugly grinning man.
"What at YOU looking at?"
"Don't you see? Its fate. You're going to be my woman." He raised one cocky eyebrow, but her retort was drowned out by Inuyasha's taunt.
"You're right, wench. Kikyou was much prettier. And there's no way she'd be here.."
He had seemed ready to add to that, but stopped, and Kagome totally missed the sadness that flashed through his eyes as she fumed.
Seething quite fully now, Kagome proceeded to slap both of the men hard across the face.
"ONE, I am NO ONE'S woman! And, TWO, I don't know nor care who you're talking about, but I DON'T want to hear about it. Understood?"
Though at first shocked at the effrontery of this woman, they soon recovered their cocky smirks, so she turned on the third man.
"So, you have anything to add?" She questioned all too calmly.
"Yes. While this foolish half-breed and the animalistic barbarian may take your attitude, I, Sesshoumaru, will not tolerate it."
To this, she merely rolled her eyes.
"Oh, please. Get over yourself."
~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~
"Listen, Kouga, I don't even know you. I am not your woman."
Kagome sighed. She was too tired to deal with this today. Due to the fact that the arguing had continued on much too late for her tastes, she was dead tired.
And on top of that, Hojou had told her a monk that regularly visited to preach to the prisoners was arriving today. What he had left out, though Inuyasha had not, was that the monk was a total lecher.
He hit on every attractive female in the vicinity. Whether she be worker or prisoner, she had a good chance of being groped within his visiting hours.
When the notorious monk had arrived, he had passed by her cell and stopped, grinning in a way that could only be described as perverted.
"Well, hello, Miss. What's a lovely lady like you doing sitting in there with those ruffians?"
At first she had been shocked, but then she had shrugged as if indifferent- an expression she had quickly picked up from Sesshomauru.
"I take it you're Miroku. Well, you know, they're not so bad. And you know what else?"
She motioned him closer, as if to tell him a secret. He leaned forward much to eagerly. Kagome leaned over and whispered seductively.
"If you so much as look at me that way again, I'll break your face."
As she said this, she grabbed the collar of his robes and pulled him to her, knocking his face hard into the bars of her cell.
That she learned from Inuyasha.
"Owww.. What was that for? I was only trying to be nice."
He looked so innocent, and she realized she was probably being too hard on him. Its not like she could really trust Inuyasha's word on anything.
"I'm sorry, Miroku. I'm just stressed."
His pitiful expression turned to one of hope a bit too quickly.
"Then I must ask you, fair lady," he said excitedly, grabbing her hand and kneeling, "would you bear my child?"
Kagome seemed merely shocked at first. But Inuyasha's snickering brought her senses back enough to yank Miroku's arm back behind her, slamming him once again into the cell bars. Kouga looked furious that this monk would dare touch what was rightfully his, and Sessomauru completely ignored the situation.
"Hentai! And you really call yourself a monk?!"
"I don't know what you're talking about. Of course I'm a monk."
His feigned innocence did not fool her this time and she turned away from him, only to have Kouga wrap his arms tightly around her.
"Do not worry, I won't let this lecher touch you again, Kagome."
She seemed rather shocked, and quirked an eyebrow at him. She didn't even notice the monk slip uneasily away.
"Ah, ..thanks, Kouga, but I think I can take care of myself."
"Nonsense! A man should protect his woman from adulterous monks."
With a frustrated growl, she pulled away from his embrace and flopped onto her bunk.
"Hey, wench. Don't say I didn't warn you," Inuyasha yelled haughtily over to the girl in the bunk.
Jerking her head up, she was suddenly grateful she had a top bunk-no head injuries resulted. She stormed up to Inuyasha and threw a hard punch to his face, knocking the surprised convict to the ground.
"That's it, dog. Sit."
With a smirk, she turned back and lay once again on her bunk, fully missing the respective look given her by the more calm of her cellmates. She did not, however, miss the wild laughing coming from Kouga.
"HA! You deserved that one, dog breath!"
At that, Inuyasha leapt up and then dropped into a fighting stance.
His anger was an obvious mix of embarrassment that he was just knocked down by a woman, and the fact that Kouga, the only person who could get on his nerves as much as his half-brother, was mocking him.
"Come over here and say that, Kouga."
They didn't, however, get the chance to throw any punches, because Hojou had witnessed the entire thing, had ran to find his employer to break it up.
~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~
When all the prisoners were gathered in a slightly filthy auditorium, the inmates were forced to sit together. In the front.
Inuyasha sat to the left of Kouga, who was next to Kagome. On Kagome's right was Sesshomaru.
The girl was noticeably uncomfortable sitting in Miroku's direct line of perverted vision. On top of that, she was sitting between Kouga and Sesshomaru.
Kouga continued to warn Sesshomaru to keep his hands off his woman, something to which Sesshomaru easily ignored. It wasn't like he was planning on touching her anyway.
After the sermon was over, Kagome noticed Miroku flirting shamelessly with the woman who cooked for the prisoners. She thought she had heard her called Sango, and wondered why such a normal looking girl wanted to work in a prison.
But she could help but laugh when Sango whacked Miroku with her serving spoon, cracking the wooden utensil and knocking the monk out cold, knowing all too well he had said or touched something clearly off limits.
As they were being herded back to their cells, she felt a hand tap her shoulder and then grab her sleeve, tugging her back, away from Kouga and Inuyasha, who were trading insults.
Turning around curiously, she looked into the amber eyes of her quietest cellmate.
"What is it, Sesshomaru?"
She quirked a brow, confusion written all over her face. After all, this man rarely ever said a word to her, and when he did speak, it was to insult someone.
"I just wanted to..to say that..you're not too horrible for a cellmate. You seem to be able to handle those two fools rather well.."
Kagome was shocked. Sesshomaru, complementing her? That can't be right..
He noticed her surprise, and attempted to save at least a shred of his cold attitude.
"..For a girl, anyway."
She blinked, then rolled her eyes. She knew it was too good to be true. Oh well. It was better that him totally ignoring her.
With a smile and a shrug, Kagome decided she wouldn't let him think he got away with switching back to his cold demeanor.
"Well, thanks, Sess. I appreciate the almost-complement."
With that, she hurried back to her cell, leaving Sesshomaru to stand, blink and just stare at her retreating back.
He didn't even try to stop the corners of his mouth from twitching upwards.
~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~
Hey, thanks for reading. What'd you think?
I know I haven't gotten far enough to really give you much of an idea of the couples, but ya'll can tell me who you want Kagome paired up with, and I'll probably use it.
So, who's it going to be? Kag/Sess, Kag/Koug, Kag/Mir, or Kag/Inu?
A note, though. I don't really want to pair Kagome with Inuyasha on this one. I might, if enough people review and say they want that pairing, but otherwise, I'd prefer a different pairing. And if you want to see Sango with Miroku in this story, you can tell me that, too.
