I am trying to update all my stories in FF and FP! Also, in some other boards! Madness. I have 14 reviews now. This story is doing well …

Italics are thoughts.

"Well, don't you have something to say?" Inu Yasha demanded when he saw the woman come close.

"I was wrong boy. Go now. Your father said that he wants you home by the afternoon." She merely looked at Inu.

"I am taking Kagome with me." Inu Yasha stated before turning his back on the woman.

"What?"

"You heard me. I am taking her with me. She will be in good care." Inu repeated. The woman looked over at the girl whose body was practically shattering due to her weakness.

"Take her than. I have no use for such weak people." She forced. I can't disagree, or he might get me fired. "What are you waiting for? I said, go!"

"Kagome, come on." Inu Yasha took Kagome by her arm, while keeping his eyes still on the stepmother.

"Alright …" Kagome stood up and walked away uncertainly with Inu Yasha by her side. Together, they left the horror house, leaving behind the woman without a servant. "Inu Yasha, I don't think I should have left."

"Why not?"

"Because … they are my family." Kagome said in almost a whisper.

"Family? You call that family?" Inu Yasha stopped walking.

"Well …"

"Kagome, listen. They may be your family because you're related by blood. But, Kagome, they don't care about you! They don't give a damn about what happens to you. Do you call that family?" Inu Yasha demanded.

"I guess not …" Kagome answered.

"They aren't Kagome. They don't care! Understand it!" he looked at the saddened face of Kagome. "Come on."

"I think you're right Inu Yasha. They don't care do they?" Kagome started to tear. "They don't care at all!"

"I didn't …" Inu couldn't finish. Oh great Inu Yasha. You just made her cry! Aren't you smooth? "Here, we're near my house, so let's just forget about this and go."

"Uh huh." Kagome dried her tears as best as she could.

"Oh wow! This room is so big!" Kagome stated looking around Inu Yasha's room. It was as big as her whole house. The ceilings were two stories high, and his room was filled with expensive furniture and treasures. "Look at this bed!" Kagome reached for the bed.

"Yea. You can go on it if you want, I don't' care." Inu was relieved that Kagome wasn't crying anymore.

"Really?" Kagome climbed onto the gigantic bed. "It's so comfy!" she said laughing.

"I'll go get one of the maids to fix you a guest room just next door." Inu Yasha suggested.

"Oh, you don't' have to do that." She informed.

"It's fine. You need a place to sleep don't you?" Inu Yasha pointed out.

"Oh yea!"

"I'll be right back." He left, leaving Kagome on the bed on her own. After Inu Yasha had gone, Kagome suddenly realized how quiet it was.

It sure is quiet without Inu Yasha. I wonder when he will come back. Kagome jumped off the bed to take a look around. She started to play around with a bunch of items when something caught her eye. It was sticking out of a drawer. She strolled over to the unknown object. She slowly peered in when she realized what it was.

A Gun!

Thoughts started to flow into Kagome's head like crazy. What is a Gun doing in here? She would ask. Inu Yasha wouldn't actually kill someone would he? It was then when the door creaked open. In the door way, Inu Yasha trudged in.

"It's all done. You're room's next door." He said with a smile.

"Oh, thank you." Kagome answered absent mindedly.

"Something bothering you? I bet it's because of that whole family thing, right?"

"Huh? It's nothing. I was just surprised by .. uh … how many amazing stuff you had." Kagome lied.

"Oh. Well, if you want you can get some stuff. It doesn't matter." Inu Yasha offered.

"Oh, I wouldn't feel right doing that. You've done enough for me already!" she hesitated. "If you don't' mind, I think I'll go check out my new room!"

"It's the room on your right!" Inu called after her. Soemthing's wrong with her. I wonder what exactly …

Hope you enjoyed this chapter. I think it's shorter than the other chapters for some reason. You read it ... now you review it.
