"How did you get all those cuts?" Kira's dad asked worriedly.
"There was a big fight." Answered Kira weakly.
Supporting Kira, her father stood up. "Kyle, go call your parents and have them come over. We'll have you all explain what happened to the police."
"And I'll call an ambulance." Added her mother.
"Don't involve the police," pleaded Kira. "They won't believe you. And I don't need an ambulance." Hesitantly her father agreed and they all went inside, including Sesshoumaru who Kira's parents regarded with fear.
"Who's that?" whispered Kira's mother.
"That's my eldest brother and don't bother whispering. He can hear you."
Startled, Kira's mother looked up at Sesshoumaru and he glared back, and then gave a slight nod. Kira was gently laid on the couch as Kyle went to call his parents. He came back five minutes later saying they were on their way. As they waited, they all sat around the family room, except Sesshoumaru. He stood against a wall, away from everyone else feeling uncomfortable in this new place, which was so strange to him. Finally there was a knock at the door and Kira's mother went to answer it. Kyle's parents came running in, hugging Kyle and asking if he was ok over and over again. "I'm fine!" he kept muttering, but they wouldn't leave him alone.
Finally, Kyle's mom looked up and said, "I demand to know who took my little boy!" her eyes fell on Kira lying still on the couch with bandages everywhere and then on Sesshoumaru, leaning against the wall and she gave a small shriek and sat down. Kira looked away, sad that someone she knew since she was a child would be so afraid of her, while Sesshoumaru just glared.
Kira's father broke the silence. "Now, would someone like to tell us exactly what happened?" He looked from Kira, to Kyle to Laura.
Kyle was the one who spoke up. "It was a man with long black hair-"
"Naraku..." muttered Kira.
"-He came through my window late at night and tied me up. Then he gagged me and carried me here, to your house. He placed me in some bushes outside and when he came back he had Laura bound and gagged too-" Laura shivered. "-He took us both deep into this forest and jumped into an old well with us. When we came out, we were in some weird place. Apparently, it's where Kate came from. We were put down and forced to walk in front of him until we came to another thick forest. Inside was a clearing where a woman and a young boy were waiting for him. We were sat down on the edge while they all sat and talked. I heard the name 'Inuyasha' a lot and they also mentioned 'his sister', but I couldn't hear what they said about them. We stayed there for a couple of days before anything happened. One time I tried to crawl away, but that's how I got this cut on my arm." Kyle paused to rub it. "Anyway, one day Kate showed up with Inuyasha, another three demons, a man, and two girls. They all started fighting and Kira got me and Laura and brought us far away and hid us in some bushes while she went back to help. From where we were we could just hear yells and screams and saw an occasional flash of light. After it was done, Kate came and brought us back. On the way she collapsed and that one," he pointed to Sesshoumaru and then continued. "Brought us to a new place where Kate could rest and get away from the smell of blood. After two days she finally woke up and then brought us home and here we are."
He finished. Kira then proceeded in clearing up any questions and went into a detailed explanation about how she was having dreams so she came to check on them. When they weren't home she went back through the well and searched until she picked up their scent. Then she told how she found them and brought them away from the fight and then went back. She also talked about how Sesshoumaru saved her life and how she had saved Kouga's with her sword, which she was now wearing again. When all was finally told and every question answered, there was a long silence as everyone stared from Kira to Sesshoumaru to Kyle. Laura still hadn't spoken but nodded that it was true after all was told.
The silence was broken by Sesshoumaru who coldly asked for bandages and was directed to the bathroom. When he returned he redressed Kira's wounds and reluctantly did the same for Kyle under Kira's pleading. When all was said and done Kira was helped up to her old room and laid down in her bed where she quickly fell asleep. There she remained for three whole days. When she finally awoke, Sesshoumaru was sitting quietly in a chair beside her bed.
"There was a big fight." Answered Kira weakly.
Supporting Kira, her father stood up. "Kyle, go call your parents and have them come over. We'll have you all explain what happened to the police."
"And I'll call an ambulance." Added her mother.
