As long as I have too much time on my hands this boring Saturday, I decided to write this chap.

An earlier reviewer gave me a good idea because I was stuck with the concept of what would happen to Kagome. Thanx to Sophie-chan you'll see what happens in this chap!

To my only reviewer: Anubaka - Thank you very much for the information J

Chapter Twelve

Krakow, February 2, 1945

He walked eastward along the river, knowing that the Russians have swept through and freed most of the region. There were no Gestapo to worry about here, but Inuyasha still could not trust his liberators. He couldn't trust anyone or care for anyone for that matter.

Inuyasha knew he came to the ruins of a large city. Half of the buildings were crumbled and there were still soldiers patrolling the areas. Even some gunshots could be heard in the distance. Smoke and fog blended with each other to make an unwelcoming atmosphere. To his surprise though, he came upon an Allie soldier who gave him an old coat so Inuyasha wouldn't freeze in his old prisoner uniform.

He came upon the center of town full of garbage and torn gates. His memories were returning to him. He had come upon the same ghetto he was dragged to five years ago. His mysterious brother had spared him of the misery that everyone suffered. But Inuyasha still couldn't bare the fact that he had friends here. Now most of the former occupants of this place would never live to look back on it. Maybe it was better that way.

Inuyasha decided to make the most of his time going into the houses and stealing everything that was both valuable and edible. Most of these things were gone or left to spoil. He found some new clothes that he could wear as well.

As the night began to fall, so did the temperatures. Inuyasha knew where he wanted to sleep though. He finally came upon the tiny house which Kagome and her family stayed in. The kitchen still had its faded green paint. Inuyasha grabbed an old broom to sweep away the debris of glass and ceramic.

Then he fell asleep on the kitchen floor.

Unknown, February 3, 1945

Kagome never had a better rest nor did she ever eat so well than she did in that car. Her butt was hurting because the car ride was so long. It was long because they were constantly being stopped by guards from both sides.

Her kidnapper's name was pronounced best as "Koga". If they were stop by a Nazi he had the papers to prove his true identity and that Kagome was his whore, which made Kagome feel very offended. He could fool the Allies with fake papers (which he probably stole) and claim that he was 'rescuing' Kagome.

They only made a few other stops as well, to get food, or to take a piss. Still Kagome never questioned why it was taking so long for him to just rape her or why she was being treated to so much food.

They were near the sea. That was the only way for Kagome to realize that they have been heading north for days. So today she decided to ask the only question that wouldn't get her in trouble.

"Can I ask why you want me to eat all of this food?" Kagome asked. She decide the question made her more hungry as she dug through the bag for that chunk of cheese she had earlier.

Koga laughed for a bit. "You wouldn't be good in the sack. I'm afraid I might break a bone or a dozen."

Kagome felt insulted again and decide to get defensive.

"You know you're gonna get caught either way. I wouldn't be surprised if your friends turned you in or killed you without giving you a chance to explain yourself."

There was a moment of silence until… "My friends have more important things to worry about than me, smart-mouth. Everyone I know is running their hides away from this war."

Kagome looked at him curiously. "Are you a deserter?"

"Shut up!" he growled. "The last thing I wanna do is fuck a girl who doesn't know how to keep quiet."

"Why don't just drop me off to die then? I need to throw up."

"Again?" said Koga. "You can't handle any food? I thought that you guys would be all over it since you probably forgotten what bread tastes like."

"My stomach can't stand this," Kagome whined.

"We're almost there, just wait another half hour."

"There? Where's there?"

In half an hour's time, Kagome knew they were as close to the sea as they could get. Kagome watched the many seagulls scavenging the debris. Once again there was more sounds of war and violence. Even across the waters it could be heard.

Koga parked infront of a dark gray inn, which was no doubt abandoned. As soon as Kagome, opened the door she finally threw up completely grossing out Koga.

"Get everything out of the car," he said. "We don't want anyone to know we were here."

Kagome, as sick as she was, helped Koga and they carried their things to a barn around the back. Kagome collapsed on the hay.

"Oh, so you're ready to go huh?" said Koga jokingly. "Me too."

Kagome whirled around and saw Koga closing the door to the barn, the only light being what came through the cracks of the walls. Then he jumped into the hay splashing Kagome. 'Very funny,' she thought. Then Koga arched over her smelling her hair again.

"Hmm…' he said to himself. "Maybe I can convince you to go faster once you see how good I am."

"Oh, disgusting," Kagome could only say. She noticed Koga trying to make an advance on him.

"Um…do you mind explaining to me why we had to come all the way here to do this?"

"Because I like the water," he said kissing her neck. "I come around here on occasion to forget my problems."

Kagome managed to roll away from Koga. "Look, Koga. There are other ways to get through this, but I don't have to be involved."

"Don't worry, hun," he said. "It won't take long. We just get this over with and I can die in peace."

"You're messed up," Kagome said quietly.

The two did not expect for the barn door to open suddenly and have a dozen men pointing guns at them.

"Scheiße!" said Koga. (German translation: shit!)

The men grabbed Koga. "You were the Nazi running around impersonating an Allie, that's a major criminal offense, seeing that you are already wanted for slaughtering hundreds of innocent people." The men dragged Koga out of the barn. Kagome became confused at what was going on, that is, until one of the soldiers helped her off of the hay.

"This area belongs to us. You're free now," he told her. Then the man quickly went over to the group taking Koga away.

'I'm free?' Kagome said confused. On her way out of the barn she quickly grabbed the bag of food.

The soldiers seemed to have ignored Kagome's presence and instead focus on trying to stuff Koga in the back of a large van. The two got one last glimpse of each other before the door was shut on Koga. The soldiers seemed to be going their separate ways.

"Hmm…" said Kagome. "He wasn't so bad a guy."

No matter where she walked, she seemed to be greeted by silence. For the past several hours, Kagome had been wandering around, not knowing exactly where to go. She wasn't so sure about being free. A part of her felt like she was on the run and that a Gestapo was sure to have spot her sometime soon and kill her. Still she kept walking around the only thing on her mind being how tired and sick she was.

As the day turned into the late afternoon, a part of Kagome was suddenly attracted to getting closer to the sea. She walked through the destruction of the streets towards the harbors. Soon, she felt weak again like she did on the death march. Her head was becoming dizzy. Looking at her hands, she realized that she must've dropped the bag of food a few miles back. Her feet were sore as she stepped onto one of the wooden harbors for the first time.

But she had past out before the sun had set, her body collapsed to the ground scaring off hundreds of seagulls into the sky.

Next Chap: the preview I had for this chap was kinda meant for Chap 13 now that I kinda think about. Anyway, people meet up with a other, new friends and old reunions that's all I can say
