I don't own Inuyasha.

Hi everybody! Ok this is my second fan fiction story. I am rating R for later chapters.

Chapter one

"When is Kagome coming back?" Shippo wined.

"She'll become back in an hour or so and if you ask one more time I'll pound you into the ground!" Inuyasha screamed.

"Calm down both of you" Sango said as she sipped her tea.

"I am sure glad she is coming back today. I don't think I could take the way Inuyasha acts when Kagome isn't here much longer" Miroku said as he sipped his tea.

"What?! I don't act any different!" Inuyasha said with a light tint of pink on his face.

"We all know you like her so why don't you just go and tell her how you feel" Sango said.

"I have no idea what you are talking about so if you don't mind I am going to go and wait for her somewhere where I won't get asked 20 questions" Inuyasha as and he headed out to door and towards the well.

Kagome's Time

"I can't wear this" Kagome said as she looked at herself in the mirror. She was wearing her school uniform (we all know what it looks like so I am not going to go into detail). She looked at her legs and saw the bruises that her father had left.

Kagome's father came home after being gone most of her left. He had used to use her mother as a punching bag but now he had turned his anger towards Kagome. Her mother tried to stop him but was now in the ER.

"I guess I'll just wear these" Kagome said as she put on some jeans. She packed a couple of jeans and some long sleeved shirts. She put on a long sleeved shirt that said 'not to be messed with.' Then she grabbed her yellow backpack and headed out the door t the well house.

"KAGOME!" a loud male voice screamed out, "COME HERE NOW!" Kagome ran for the well not looking back for fear that he would be right there. She jumped into the well.

In Inuyasha's Time

Inuyasha was sitting in a near by tree when Kagome's scent came to him.

"She here!" He said that when he smelt something in her scent. Fear?

"What can she be afraid of unless . . ." Inuyasha jumped out of the tree and ran to Kagome.

Kagome had just climbed out of the well and was sitting on its side when Inuyasha appeared.

"Where is it?" Inuyasha asked to her.

"Where is what?" Kagome said as she stood up.

"The demon" Inuyasha looked around.

"What demon?" Kagome said as she picked up her back pack.

"You mean there is no demon?"

"Inuyasha I have no idea what you are talking about. If there was a demon here do you think I would just be sitting there" Kagome said as she started to walk to Kaede's village.

"I guess you are right. Why did I smell fear in you when you first came?" Inuyasha asked. Kagome stopped dead in her tracks remembering how scared she was about her father beating her again.

"I don't know what your talking about" Kagome said and then she started walking again.

"Kagome is something wrong?" Inuyasha said as he fallowed her.

"No. why do you ask?"

"No real reason" Inuyasha could sense that something was different but he couldn't place it. All the way to Kaede's village Kagome was shifting her backpack round on her back trying to find a spot that didn't hurt. She was happy to finally get to the village so she could put it down.

"Kagome!" Shippo yelled as he ran up to her.

"Hi Shippo"

"Welcome back, Kagome. Would you like some tea?" Sango said as she left the hut to greet her friend.

"Tea would be very nice" Kagome said as she and Sango walked into the hut. Inuyasha fallowed them.

When she got into the hut she saw Miroku pouring tea into three tea cups.

"Why hello, Lady Kagome. I see you are not wearing your cute little school outfit"

"Pervert!" Sango yelled as she hit him on the back of his head. As he fell he spilled the tea getting Kagome all wet.

"OH!" Kagome screamed. She grabbed a towel and started to wipe herself off.

"I'm so sorry Kagome" Sango said. As Kagome was wiping herself off that is when Inuyasha saw it. A small bruise on her neck. He only saw it for a second then her hair covered it back up.

"Kagome can I talk to you outside alone of a minute" Inuyasha said.

"Umm . . . sure" Kagome said and she fallowed Inuyasha outside.

"Kagome where are you going?" Shippo how had been playing with some kids asked.

"Inuyasha wanted to talk to me so I'll be right back" Kagome said as her and Inuyasha walked.

After a few moments of walking in silence Kagome got tired of it

"Inuyasha, what did you want to talk about?" Kagome said as she sat on a log.

"When are you going to tell me what really happened?" Inuyasha said with a sad look on his face.

"What are you talking about?" Kagome said looking at her feet.

"First when you got her I could smell fear on you and then now I saw . . ." Inuyasha wasn't sure how to say what he wanted to say.

"Saw what?"

"I saw the bruise on your neck. Is someone hurting you?" Inuyasha said as he sat down next to Kagome.

"It was an accident . . . my father was falling . . . I tried to help him but got pushed out of the way and hit a chair" Kagome said as she tried to think of a lie.

"Are you sure?" Inuyasha said looking at her.

"Yeah" she said as she looked at Inuyasha.

"Ok, if you ever have to talk to someone you know you can talk to me right?"

"Yeah I know" Kagome said and they headed back to Kaede's hut.

"Inuyasha?" Kagome asked as they entered the village.

"What?" Inuyasha said looking at Kagome hoping that she would tell him what had happened.

"Why are you being so nice to me? I mean you seemed to be worried over me when all I am is shard detector to you."

"Kagome how could you think that?" Inuyasha said as he stopped Kagome by her arm. Kagome flinched in pain but was hoping that Inuyasha didn't see her flinch. Inuyasha did however see her flinch.

"You say it all the time"

"Kagome, I . . ." Inuyasha started to say something but lost his words. He started to walk away still holding Kagome arm when she screamed out in pain. Inuyasha picked her up quickly and ran to a hot spring.

"Kagome, what's wrong?'

"Nothing"

"Oh yeah then how come when I touched you, you flinched"

"Umm . . ."

"Or when I pulled you, you screamed in pain"

"I. . . I . . . I" Kagome could only manger to get out.

"Take off your shirt" Inuyasha demanded.

"What?!" Kagome protected.

"I want to see what you're not telling me so you can take it off or I'll rip it off"

"Fine" Kagome said as she slowly pulled off her shirt revealing the bruises all over her body.
