Eh heh....please don't kill me.... I KNOW it was a while since I last updated.... dodges bananaz and rotten tomatoes thrown by angry rreaders I can explain!

This year I just entered high school. Three things happened. First my best friend moved away, and I had to deal with trying to fit in in a school where I was but an outcast.

My grandmother's cancer had already begun to slowly taking over her body, and she was subjected to consuming large amounts of morphine in order to not go insamne from the pain that the tuor was beginning to cause her. Unfortunately Morphine also has several side effects. One of them is that he user temporatily loses their memory-even to the point that they forget thir won family. My father called her, and she didn't know that he was her son.

She passed away this December, a week after my father left china when h went to visit her. At the air port, his older sistor told him to go and never look back, vfor this would be the last time he would ever wee his mother. Her health dropped rapidly after he left, until as I said earlier, she passed away on wedsday, and 9:00.

After this my dad kinda went alittle insane. He was kinda very moody, up to the point tsat he moved out to live in an apartment for a week, because apparently h couldn't stand the sight of both my mother and I. Since then, my father and I have been constantly fighting, up to the point that he decided to sell my PS2, and take apart my piano.

Because of these events I haven't ben able to concentrat4e on my writing, so as a result I wasn't able to update. That added with the increased workload of high school, it was almost virtually impossible for m to concentrate on much ofanything. (also he took away my computer). I know this wounds like im just making a bunch of excuses for not updating on time, but it's pretty much true. This is the first time I have been online in months.

I will post my thank-you list in the nest chapter! (Glomps every one who reviwed) Thank youso much! I wouldn't have been able to writ this if it wasn't for all your support! (wipes tear from eye) Now! onto the story!

"Miroku.... We have to talk."

Miroku turned around and winced as he pried his arm from inu Yasha's iron grip.

"Dude, you try'n to break my arm or something?" he sighed as he gingerly pulled up his sleeve.

"Shut up you dumbass! I'm trying to talk!" Inu yasha snarled as he pulledmiroku around to face him. Miroku's green eyes narrowed as he surveyed the little specks of blood that stained inu yasha's shirt.

"hey... Man... did you get into a fight6 or something?" Miroku asked quizzically as he looked up at Inu Yasha's face. His eyes widened in horror as he caught a glimpse of the long-haired boy's face. The long haired boy's normally violet eyes had begun to turn yellow, and his face had been twisted into a masque of hatred.

"Stay away from Higuchi,' Inu yasha growled as he caught a hold of Miroku's shirt." You hear me? Stay away from that bitch."

"What are you try'n to pull?" Miroku snapped as he threw away Inu Yasha's hand. "Don't be a dick just because you got the hot's for her, and she's with me."

"Dumbass!" Inu Yasha roared as he threw the pony-tailed boy to the floor. "Don't you understand? Kagome's the one who suffers the most for every little thing you do!" Miroku winced as he grimly picked himself back up.

"Kagome?" He stared up at Inu yasha in confusion. 'What does Kagome have to do with anything?" he looked up at Inu Yasha's face quizzically.

"What happened to kagome?'he asked slowly. Inu yasha turned his face around, and stared at the ground.

"TELL ME, DAMMIT!" Miroku roared as he sprung to his feet and lifted Inu yasha by the collar. "What happened to her? Why won't you answer me??"

"She was raped." Inu Yasha whispered as he stared at the floor. When the long haired boy turned his face around, Miroku saw that his eyes were brimming with tears. "Don't you see? Kagome is defenseless. She wouldn't harm a soul, and she's too kind of a person to take anything out on anyone."

He whipped around and glared at Miroku. "But thank to you and your stupid girlfriends, now she has to suffer."

Miroku stared at Inu Yasha, his eyes widened with shock as he slowly let go of inu Yasha's collar.

"Stop chasing after Higuchi,' Inu Yasha snarled as he stomped past Miroku. "or else you will have me to answer to."

Miroku smiled bitterly as he slowly slumped against the brick wall. "When I have finally found the one that I care for mose..." he whispered as he brushed his black bangs from his face. "it seems... that perhaps I am paying for my past mistakes.."

"What??" Sango screamed, staring at the cordlss phone in her hand in disbelief. "Are you sure you're okay Kagome?"

"I'm fine.." came Kagome's thin voice. "Just a little bruised up.... They didn't really do anything serious..."

"Thank god Inu Yashacame..." Sango whispered as she sat down hard on her bed. "or else.. .i don't know what would have happened. Who were those guys anyways?"

"some guys that go to our school...." Kagome replied. "I've passed them in the halls a couple of times, but I don't know anything I could have done to make them do that to me...

"Then why would they attack you?' Sango demanded. "This dosen't make sense!" "of course it doesn't." Kagome replied. "But it's strange isn't it? We were both attacked on the same day, atrelatively the same times. You by Asuka and Junko and

me..." "Sango dropped the phone as she suddenly stared at her books in shock.

"sango? Sango? Are you still there?" Came Kagome's voice from the phone.

"It..It couldn't be.." Sango whispered as she sgared down at her hand. 'No..."
