Chapter 9:

Sesshomaru's fist tightened around Inu yasha's neck. He wasn't going to get off easy. He didn't know why Kagome would sink as low either.

"Sesshomaru, are you jealous?", choked Inu Yasha.

"For the fact that you both betrayed me, yes. For what is going to happen to you in 1 minute, no."

Inu Yasha frowned at his words and finally had to come to a decision. It was obvious which one was better though. 'Show him Kagome, get his grip from my neck, and make Kagome happy, or continue this show and die at his hands and leave Kagome alone in that room.'

"Okay, Sesshomaru. She's in the spare room. You saw me kissing Kikyou. Not Kagome." Seshomaru dropped him in a heap on the floor.

"You better be telling the truth little brother or…", Sesshomaru cracked his knuckles.

He ran out of the room and across the hall. –what do you think will happen?- He opened the door to find… Kagome standing there in a bath towel?! He slowly stepped toward her because he had missed her for to long to let this stop him.

She turned as she heard him approach and smiled up at him.

"I missed you so much today.", she started. All he could do was stare into her eyes even if she was standing there half naked. Sesshomaru was no Miroku. Not at all.

-meanwhile-

"Sango, is it just me, or do Kagome and Sesshomaru seem to be in love?"

"Both have to much pride to admit it, but they are going out. Do you not listen to the gossip at your school?"

Miroku gave her a blank look. "I'll take that as a no." Sango shook her head but jumped just as quickly as a hand grasped hers.

"Sango, my dear. We have gone through so much together. Can we forget about the past when I made a mistake and focus on a future, together?"

Inu Yasha-

'What am I going to do. Now he knows that I hid her, and I can't make him jealous. The plan is ruined because of my overprotective brother. I have to tell the leader though.' Inu yasha walked outside toward the thugs meeting place. The leader wasn't going to be to happy about this.

A/N: Kagome is going to kick butt here soon!!!

Sesshomaru and Kagome-

"I guess Inu yasha just left. Probably scared I would come back to beat him up."

Sesshomaru was taken aback at the shocked look on Kagomes face. Inu yasha was going to meet his leader, and his life was on the line this time. Kagome ran past Sesshomaru not uttering one word of where she was going. She was to intent on catching Inu yasha before something bad happened. Today was her revenge day. Today was her day to recover her happiness. Nothing would stop her. Not even death.

She didn't know how long it took her to get to the park that the thugs meet at, but she knew what to expect. By the slides were to kids in black attire hitting two younger kids and along the mural was spray paint of Nazi signs and just about all the profanity you could conjure. Kagome didn't falter as she approached the bullies and the innocent. She kept a straight face and dove in.

"Leave them alone.", she said sternly.

The bullies looked at each other and laughed. "Wha' ya gonna do bout' it momma's girl?" Kagome scowled and pulled on his shirt. They were eye level to each other as she directed her words to both bullies.

"I can beat the living daylights out of both of you if you don't drop the kids and run. I don't control my friend, The Fist. So scat." The boys laughed yet again and replied, "A city girl think she can tell us wha' ta do. She need's ta lean' a lessen'. –I would be in trouble if I spoke with that grammar.-

Kagome eyed them. "I got a deal. If one of you has the guts to take on my fist, I'll drop the case. If you aren't as bold as you seem to think you are, I get to take the children off you hands. Any volunteers?" The bullies backed away in unison, pushing each other as they ran.

"Are you two okay?" Kagome lent the scared kids her utmost genuine smile. "Yeah. Thanks for helping us."

The two kids walked away jabbering with each other carelessly. 'Now to find Inu yasha and to help him.' Kagome took off once again to the place where she knew they hid. The dark alley.

"NA, I'm sorry but Sesshoamru has declared his life to protect Kagome. I tried to get her for you.", whispered Inu yasha solemnly to the leader.

"So you failed me. Inu yasha you know how I don't like failures."

"How do you know my name?"

"You mean I shouldn't know the names of my followers? Hmm, funny."

Inu yasha looked at his feet. "That's not what I meant. I just didn't think you would bother remembering."

"Of course I have to remember. You failed your last pop quiz and I had to send you to the office for being tardy."

Inu yasha then realized whom the leader was. "Naraku. I didn't think you would be the type to lead a group of thugs. Much less, I wonder why you want Kagome. She's one of your students. Not someone you pick up on the road."

"Ah, but you are wrong. I don't want her out of love interest. More for money that she is heir too. But she is quite the gorgeous teenager. I can see why you and Sesshoamru had fought over her."

Inu yasha hated his tone and was patiently waiting for the first blow, until of course it came.

Inu yasha had been whacked across the head. He felt like he was about to pass out. But then he saw Kagome in opened mouth aw, horrorstricken waiting. As Naraku turned he saw her and starting to advance. Inu yasha knocked away the pain. It was a personal fight now. No one would hurt Kagome. –didn't expect him to be knight in shining armor did you?- He rammed into Naraku and heard a loud crack. He had injured himself bad.

What was he to do? The woman he loved was in harms way with no protector. Then a man in all black came from behind Naraku. He slowly moved toward him and without warning, -no duh- he jumped on his back and knocked him down. Naraku went unconscious but Inu yasha didn't know what happened after as he fazed out.

"You are coming with me." The man in black grabbed Kagome's wrist and tugged hard. Of course she resisted, but his pull was to strong. She soon toppled over and was taken into his arms as he ran with her. She fell asleep because of all the exhaustion though, so their destination was a mystery to her. All she dreamt about though, was this strange man in black whom held her in his arms, as if they were lovers. But she didn't know him, and he didn't know her.

-Inu yasha-

It was an hour later when he came to, and he only remembered the man in black, and Kagome verses Naraku's charging form. It was an odd memory that he wished to erase. He felt like something had happened to her though, as she was no where near. His gaze landed on Naraku's sleeping form. The site before him was as if he was recharging or something. Weeds and worms were collecting by his body and then disappearing inside. It was strange, and Inu yasha would never trust 'Mr. Naraku' again.

-Kagome-

'I fell asleep, and awake to find myself in an old hotel room. I wonder where the man in black went. He wore a mask as if hiding something. I'm positive I don't know him, but then again, there is something vaguely familiar about his presence. It makes me calm and nervous at the same time.' He walked into the room from the main door.

"Awake I see. Have a nice nap?"

'His voice is familiar as well.' "Yes indeed. But you are putting a damper on our relationship as I know not of your identity." He jumped to her. 'Chipper young fellow I see.'

"My identity is none of your concern as you will soon find that you are safe in my presence. So no fear no harm."

"But how do I know you are not Naraku?"

"And how do you know that I am not your lover?"

Kagome had to say she was stumped. He had her there. He could easily be Sesshomaru that came to her rescue.

"Though I assure you I am not, so do not contemplate it. I could be if you allowed me to though. You are quite beautiful."

"I would say you don't look bad yourself but I do not see your face therefore, I know not. But your eyes look familiar,"

"As do yours. But please, do not gaze intently at them, as I do not feel comfortable under your gaze. A beauty such as yourself can not look into ones eyes if they are as lowly as me. You will want this bed I assume. I will be in the lobby for the time being if you need me. Again as I said, do not contemplate on who I am, as you will only cause more confusion to yourself. Good day."

Kagome had to give him props. He could leave you thinking your life away. Certainly confusing. Most indeed worth the time. So Kagome thought more and more on his identity, and the farther she got from the start, the more confusing it got. Some things just took more than one could wish. But her biggest clue, was the eyes.

YAY! I feel completed! I know this is longer then before as I have never made it past 3 pages!!!!! I feel good once again!!!!! PLEASE REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!
