To update again or not to update again. That is the question. At stake is my pride and dignity, while my happiness is the prize for some select wonderful reviewers. In which I mean what's it's name that said I suck and that I need to die. Not very sportsmanlike. Let me tell you now, if you don't like my story, please refrain from telling me to die and that I suck. Remember that it is my story you are reviewing, not me personally. Dfdf is a lucky person. I might have been obliged to publicly humiliate this insolence had I been the type to hold… grudges. Now, for the kind reviewers that told me to update, her is my faulty chapter. sorry couldn't resist

Thanx to Cherry Dragon aka: To lazy to sign in.

Kagome had taken to doing her homework in the den. She laid on her stomach with her legs swinging in the air. Her cat Boyou was laying lazily on the couch while staring at the TV. A/N: Just like my dad./ "So Boyou, do you know how to explain Archimedes Principle? Or how to tell the difference between the different particles on a dish rag?" Kagome turned her head to Boyou who looked on dumbfound. "Me neither. I bet Sesshomaru does though." She reached for the phone but as she put her hand on it, it rang. "I got it.", called Mrs. Higurashi down the stairways.

Kagome sat there listening to her mother on the phone and decided it was probably a telemarketer because of the way she kept saying no. "Kagome dear, it's for you." Kagome picked up the phone to hear Sesshomaru's silky voice. 'Speak of the devil…' "Yes Sesshomaru?" There was a pause. "I thought I could tell you this but I guess I can't. Not over the phone. Can I come over? There's something I need to tell you but not like this." Kagome looked at the receiver. "Mom? Can Shessomaru come over?" Her mom nodded in the doorway. "She said you can." "Great. I'll be there in 5 minutes." They both hung up as Kagome wondered what was wrong.

Kagome was still biting her nails as he pulled up in his car. She welcomed him in as he sat in his normal spot on the couch. "Could I speak with you alone Kagome?" Kagome nodded. "But we have to talk in the den. Mother is out here making dinner." They both trudged to the den and sat beside each other.

"Kagome, you really liked Sango didn't you?" Kagome nodded. "Why are you asking?" "You'll see." He stopped and looked toward her. She looked normal as ever, but he knew she wouldn't after he told her what had happened. "Kagome umm, I want to tell yo.." "Kagome! Dinners ready. Sesshomaru can eat to." Kagome turned to him again. "You hungry?" He nodded his head as he could never pass down Mrs. Higurashi's meals. "You can tell me the rest later." He nodded again and followed her to the kitchen.

"So, how's school?" Kagome grinned. "We're all working on long term projects in Social Studies on Ancient Greece." Her mom picked up the plates and walked to the kitchen. "That's good honey." She saw how bored yet eager Sesshomaru looked through the kitchen doorway and decided he should tell Kagome what he had originally planned.

"So what is so important?" Sesshomaru draped his arm around her shoulders. "You know the unknown thugs that have been terrorizing us for a while here?" He watched her nod. "Sango was walking home from school today when, one of the thugs,… one of the thugs started to punch at her. But then he realized she could handle one on one combat. So he called the others to help." Kagome listened in horror. She knew what was coming next. "They beat her real bad, and unfairly. 8 to 1. The odds were against her." Kagome bowed her head down. "And she is now in the hospital. I want to take you to see her. She keeps telling the doctors that she needs you by her side. Her best friend. My best friend." Kagome looked up. Not one weak tear was on her cheek. She looked determined and ready. "Let's go. I can't stand around when a friend needs me. Through thick and thin."

The ride was a silent one with the air of sympathy floating around. Kagome refused to allow her tears to pass through her dam she had built. Immune to tears. That's what she was. Sango was hurt badly, and she might die. It was on the news. That was how Sesshomaru found out. And now, he had to help Kagome by getting her to her friend.

They arrived at about 8:oo P.M and went straight to the room. The doctors allowed them to pass even though visiting hours were over. They had also allowed her parents to stay as they noticed upon entering. They looked up, tears on their faces. "Are you Kagome?" Kagome nodded her head and then looked to Sango. "Sango had been speaking a lot about a girl with beautiful black hair and dignified chestnut eyes. She said you were a fair match in soccer." Kagome listened and felt her heart get heavy. Sangos eyes were swollen and she had bruises all over. Dried blood rested in her hair like rubber cement. It was a sad site. But Kagome would never forget it.

They stayed with Sango a little longer and watched over her. But they did have to go to school tomorrow so they had to say their goodbyes.

"Sessomaru, that was very sad. Why did it happen to her of all people? I would have gladly taken the beating for her." Kagome still did not cry as she would never allow herself to. She was strong. She would make it. "I'm going to get revenge.", she whispered. Sesshomaru watched her, and if he had felt worry before, it was worse now as Kagome walked up the shrine steps. Kagome might die because of Sango, who might die because of the thugs.

So, I tried to be dramatic. Did it work? She will cry for Sango, just not now. Ummm, Miroku and Sango we'll get together this way. YAY for Sango and Miroku fans! Bye!
