Hey everybody. Sorry for the cliffy last chapter. I just had to leave it off, lol. I think that this chapter should be fairly good. I can't promise it will be up to everybody's standards, but oh well. Thank you everybody that has reviewed. If you guys hadn't I would have stopped a long time ago. Well onto the chapter.

Chapter 7: Believe

Kagome had no clue what to do. All she knew was that she needed to get help. She ran home, knowing that she could tell her mom anything. She ran through the door and yelled mom. Nobody answered. Kagome ran through the house looking for her. She wasn't anywhere to be found. She then saw a note in the kitchen. Kagome already knew what it was about. It was telling her how sorry that she was gone and that she would be back soon.

Kagome ran out of the house, still confused. She wanted to tell the cops. But what would happen if the cops showed up and Kikyo was alright. So she did the next best thing she started to run towards Kikyo's house. Kagome saw Inuyasha while she ran, and he just looked at her. So she stopped.

"Inuyasha please come with me, don't ask, just come," Kagome said while signaling him to run with her. Inuyasha ran with her. Confused on why they were running, he wanted to know where they were running to.

'I hope I get there in time,' Kagome thought while she ran to Kikyo's house.

Inuyasha then noticed that they were going to Kikyo's house. 'But why would we be going to Kikyo's house. Why are we running to Kikyo's house is more like the question. I thought that they were rivals. Or are they?"

They had finally gotten there. Kagome just stood there for a second trying to catch her breath. Just looking at the house. Until they both heard a high pitched scream that they knew came from Kikyo. Kagome went up to the door and banged the door and ringing the door yelling, "Kikyo try to open the door! Somebody, anybody please open the door," Kagome tried to twist the doorknob but it was locked. Inuyasha told Kagome to move and Inuyasha ran the door down. It was silent inside. Then they heard a huge 'BANG' above their heads.

Kagome and Inuyasha ran up the stairs and went into the bedroom that they heard the bang. There was Naraku with Kikyo halfly dressed, with bruises all over her body. Scratches on her face, crying.

"Get away from her now!" Kagome commanded

"What are you going to do about it little girl," Naraku said while letting go of Kikyo and started to come towards Kagome. All Kagome managed to do was scream and Inuyasha punched him in the face. Naraku fell down backwards; he wasn't expecting it from the boy.

"Get up, and I'll kill you, understand me you bastard?" Inuyasha said. Naraku just snickered at the boy. Naraku got up and walked passed the boy. Kagome jumped behind Inuyasha terrified. Naraku gave the three a quick smile and left. Kagome went to the window and saw him leave in his car. Then she went to Kikyo.

"Did he do anything to you?" Kagome asked.

"He had hit me, and he was trying to rape me, but you guys got here in time," Kikyo said while looking for her shirt.

"Can somebody please tell me how you knew that she needed help?" Inuyasha said while looking away from the undressed Kikyo.

"I'll explain all of this when Kikyo comes over to my house and we call the police." Kagome said.

"No, I can't do that. Then he'll do something worse then I could ever imagine." Kikyo stated with tears starting to pour out of her eyes once again.

"Kikyo, nothing is going to get solved if we don't do something about this. So hurry up so we can leave before your dad gets back."

Kagome had once been to Kikyo's house. When they were friends. That was back in Elementary School. You would never see one of them without the other. But then in middle school they went there own ways. Kagome missed the old days, but then at the same time when kikyo and her were fighting it was fun. Kagome went downstairs and used the phone. She called her mother.

"Mom, please come pick me up at Kikyo's house right now please."

"What's going on honey?"

"I'll tell you after you pick us up."

"Okay I'll be there right away."

Kagome walked back upstairs to tell Inuyasha and Kikyo that her mom would be right there. Inuyasha was just looking at Kagome while she walked up. He didn't want to invade Kikyo's privacy, and if he did that he would piss off Kagome as well. That was the last two things that he wanted to do in this moment of time. He knew that something serious was going on. Something highly bad, but him and his baka self just couldn't understand.

There was a beeping sound coming from outside. Both Kikyo and Kagome looked outside. It was her mother.

"Lets go guys," Kagome said while holding onto Kikyo. She was unstable. They walked outside and her mother just stared. She couldn't believe her eyes, and she knew what ever happened was something that needed to be involved with the police.

"Kikyo, what is going on?" Mrs. Higurashi asked.

"Mom, well," Kagome started to say

"Mom nothing. Your name isn't Kikyo is it? I asked her not you,"

Kikyo bit her bottom lip. Tears started to come out of her eyes. They become a puffy red. While her mother drove, Kikyo explained what had been going on for the previous year.

Kagome's mother and Inuyasha couldn't believe there eyes, nor there eyes. That something was going on and that they never had a clue.

They had gotten the Kagome's house.

"Inuyasha you call the police right now. Kikyo you go inside and make yourself feel like home. You might be here for the next couple of days. Kagome stay in the car I need to have a word with you." Kagome's mom said.

Inuyasha and Kikyo got out of the car and did what her mother had asked of them. Kagome stayed in the car. Ashamed of what ever her mother was going to say. She knew it wasn't going to be anything pleasant.

"Kagome why hadn't you told somebody. I know you knew about it. Why didn't you tell me?" Her mother said while a single tear rolled down her face.

"She told me not to. She knew if I told somebody that they would surely call the police. And her father said if that would ever to happen that he would get out of jail and kill her. I'm so sorry that I didn't tell you. I was afraid for her. I was also afraid if I told then he would find out that I told and kill me as well. I'm so naïve for believing these stupid things."

"You're not stupid honey. You just jump to conclusions. Well we better get inside. The cops will be here soon"

Kagome just stayed in the car. She had started to cry. It was her fault that Kikyo gotten hurt this time. She curled into a ball in the back seat and cried her eyes out until she fell asleep. She had a rude awakening and that was by somebody knocking on the window. Kagome looked at the figure but she couldn't see who it was.

Okay well there is the chapter. Please review. It seems that I get my best writings when it late at night. Lol till next time sango
