K, like lots of ppl are telling me to write more and space out my words. K, ill do that.

Kagome slowly put her supplies in her bag and walked out the door.

Inuyasha was already waiting for her outside.

He had a scowl on his face that said

'im only doing this because I have to'.

Kagome didn't give him a second look but drifted along the sidewalk.

Suddenly, seemingly out of nowhere, a figure blocked her path. Kagome opened her mouth to scream but it picked up a stone and knocked her out cold.

Inuyasha saw her fall and rushed to Kagome's side.

He checked her pulse and shook her.

Then, he sat back on his heels and thought hard.

Who knocked her out, why did they knock her out?

These questions buzzed in his head the last one almost made him laugh.

Why did he care for her anyways?

Slowly, he lifted her to his back and ran back to his house.

Inuyasha pounded on the door.

It opened to reveal his older brother, Sesshamarou.

'What are you doing here, twerp?' he asked.

Inuyasha couldn't scowl at his brother, no matter how hard he tried, there was always something endearing about his bossy brother.

Inuyasha said what happened all in a hurry.

Sesshamarrau allowed his younger half-brother to enter the mansion and help him carry Kagome to his room.

'Who did this? Do you know?' Sesshamarou asked.

Inuyasha shook his head.

'I don't know,' he shrugged.

'And I don't care,' he added for a good measure.

Sesshamarou shrugged, he knew that his younger brother would do that.

After a while's thought, Sesshamarou was the first to speak.

'I don't think she would be safe here,' he added.

Inuyasha shrugged.

'Well, I guess you're right,' he said,

'But the only other place for youkai is the human slavery zone, you know, where all humans are slaves to youkai,' Inuyasha added. 'Here, humans and youkai are equal.'

Sesshamarou knew what his brother was trying to say, although it went around silently.

'I know you don't like it there, but it would be the only place, unless if you want her dead like Kikyou,' Sesshamarou paused for effect.

He knew that his brother adored Kikyou like his own self.

Just as he had expected, Inuyasha's eyes darkened.

'Fine, but you had better pop by,' he said grudgingly, knowing Sesshamarou never broke his promises.

Sesshamarou shrugged.

'You can stay at my house there if you would like.'

Inuyasha's eyes widened.

'House? You bought a house already?'

Inuyasha already knew that his brother was very successful in his business, but buying a house at his age was a wonder.

'Well, not really, a mansion.' Sesshamarou snorted slightly at his brother's slack behaviour.

'With lots of human slaves,' he added for a good measure.

Inuyasha's face fell.

'I hate human being slaves,' he thought.

'Especially when those humans are mikos,' he remembered Kikyou.

Flashback

Kikyou was scrubbing the floor in the mansion when Inuyasha walked to her.

He slightly smiled and took the rag in his own hands, scrubbing the floor for her.

Kikyou raised an eyebrow.

'At least you're alright,' she said.

'I am, I'm a hanyou.' Kikyou frowned.

'Too bad, I cant kill you then,' she said.

Inuyasha leaned back against the wall, standing up.

'Why?'

'Because I am a miko, and mikos can kill youkai,' she said.

Inuyasha looked at her, shocked.

'But why didn't you kill my family?' he asked.

Kikyou shrugged nonchalantly.

'I like it here, I'm an orphan you know,'

and it was because of that she became his playmate,

end flashback

Sesshamarou impatiently tapped his foot.

'Are you going or what?' he asked.

Inuyasha nodded.

'Yes, fine,' he said, lifting the unconscious Kagome onto his back again.

Sesshamarou snorted when he saw his younger brother's dishevelled form.

'I think it would be best if you get on the limousine,' he said, pointing towards the car.

Inuyasha shrugged. 'Don't expect me to board it,' he said, putting Kagome down and leapt on a tree.

Sesshamarou sighed heavily and jammed Kagome into the limousine.
