Chapter 7

No one was in the room with her, but Kagome continued to feel watched. Her hands weren't tied, but they might as well have been. She was in the basement, a dreary windowless room with only a bed and a chair for furniture. The only exit was a door leading to the main house, which was currently locked.

Kagome let out a frustrated sigh and turned her tear filled eyes back to the book in her lap. She still hadn't built up the courage to open it; all she could do was stare down at the cover and reread the author over and over again. Her heart was racing; staring at the name was just continuing to get her hopes up.

With a deep breath she turned to the first page and dears stained and wrinkled the paper.

"The past could of months had been hell. My girlfriend had cheated on me, my books were getting worse, and I was depressed. So what would it take to get me out of it? Well to put it simply, Kagome...my Guardian Angel..."

A sob escaped her as Kagome read the first few sentences. 'He's real...ok god he's not a part of my imagination!' she thought as another sob racked her body. She couldn't believe that she had wasted so much time just thinking he was a dream.

A loud bang brought her back to reality. Houjou had thrown the basement door open and was stomping down the stairs. "How dare they? I didn't kidnap you! You love me and wanted to stay with me, I know it!" he snarled

Kagome shrank back and backed up against the wall, trying not to turn his rage towards her.

"Do you know what those assholes accused me of? Do you?" he yelled, a growl escaping his throat.

Kagome just shook her head no, afraid to speak. "Those asshole cops came by today accusing me of kidnapping you! I did no such thing, you wanted to come! But I couldn't let them find you, they would take you away and lie to you, making you hate me again." He yelled louder.

Kagome's eyes widened and she thought, 'The cops came by? Why the hell didn't they check the basement?' she looked at the ground, not wanting to further anger the lunatic pacing around by letting him see the disgust she held for him in her eyes.

"I know what you're thinking," he continued, "Thank god they didn't find the basement, right? Well you were unconscious when I brought you home, but this room is hidden, so they couldn't ever find you! It's perfect, we can live together forever!"

Kagome's heart dropped to the floor and her world turned black. She was so zoned out that she didn't even notice Houjou leave until she heard the lock slide into place on the door.

'I finally find him,' she thought, 'and now I'll never be able to see him...why now? Why can't Houjou fucking die?'

With that thought Kagome lay down on the bed and cried herself to sleep...

A yelp escaped Detective Miroku's mouth as he was pinned by the throat to a will by a very angry Inuyasha.

"Where is she?" he snarled.

"Well I can't tell you where unless you tell me who your talking about!" Miroku snapped, lying about not knowing who 'she' was.

"Kagome Higurashi, you bastard. You were supposed to catch that Hoho ass, not let him get her!" Inuyasha yelled, pushing him even harder to the wall.

After Inuyasha had heard the news report he had done a little hacking until he found the file on Kagome. When he read the police had already searched Hobo's house and found nothing, and that he'd not been able to be held on charges for stabbing Kagome because of some technicality, he had gone ballistic. He knew she was in that house, and would stop at nothing until her found her.

"We looked, but we couldn't find her anywhere in the house. He must be hiding her somewhere else, but I have no idea where that could be!" Miroku answered, than sucked air into his poor abused lungs when Inuyasha let him drop.

"She's in that house, I know it. Get a warrant or whatever you need and let me have a look around. I'll be back tomorrow afternoon." And he just turned and left.

Kagome was laying down on the bed when she heard shouting coming from upstairs, along with a lot of crashing noises. Thinking Houjou was in another crazy rage she quickly hid behind the chair, ready to throw it at him should he come at her.

She squatted there for a few more minutes before realizing that the shouting from more than one person. Quickly running up the stairs she reached the top just in time for the door to be thrown open and light blind her. When her eyes finally cleared she looked up to see a body blocking the door, but shadowing his face.

"Kagome?" a voice she had waited for so long to hear whispered.

"Inu...yasha?" Kagome chocked out, right before the world went dark and she started to fall downward.

---

"Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled, rushing forward to catch her. He picked her up and carried her bridal style up the stairs. "Miroku!" he yelled, panic evident in his voice.

"What?" Miroku answered, walking into the room dragging a handcuffed Houjou behind him.

"She fainted! What do we do?" Inuyasha asked.

"Relax, she's probably just unable to handle being kidnapped, probably starved by this bozo, and then rescued all at once." Miroku said.

Inuyasha just nodded and shoved past Houjou to get to the front door. He placed Kagome in the passenger seat and buckled her in.

Miroku ran out after him and grabbed his arm, "Where are you taking her?"

Inuyasha just turned and looked him in the eyes. "Home..." he whispered, than yanked his arm away and got into the drivers seat.

As Inuyasha pulled away Miroku let a little smile cross his lips and he turned around to face his partner. "That went well."

"Thank god..." Sango replied.

---

Kagome woke to the feeling of de ja vu. She lay in Inuyasha's room, and could feel him holding her. 'Oh god, what was real, and what was a dream? I'm so lost...' she thought.

"You awake?" she heard him whisper.

"I don't know, are you real? Am I real? What happened?" She asked, turning around to look him in the eyes.

"I'm not sure exactly. You were real, and were my Guardian Angel, but I don't know why you didn't stay in your body during your coma, or why you came to me. What I do know is that even if Hobo couldn't be convicted for stabbing you, he sure as hell will be rotting in jail for kidnapping!" Inuyasha answered with a note of satisfaction.

"I'm so confused..." Kagome muttered, laying her head on his chest.

"I can explain." Said a voice to their left.

Kagome and Inuyasha's heads snapped up to see Miroku and Sango standing near the wall.

"What the fuck?" Inuyasha yelled, throwing a pillow in their direction.

"Well you wanted answers, so shut up and let Kagome ask them!" Sango ordered.

Inuyasha gulped and nodded, mouthing "good luck..." to Miroku.

"Sango? Why are you here, I thought you couldn't come to earth." Kagome whispered, still slightly dazed by everything.

"well you're my assignment so I do what I must, and right now I know you must have questions." Sango explained.

Kagome thought for a moment then snapped out, "Yeah, I do. Why the hell did I go to heaven when I wasn't dead? How could people other than Inuyasha see me? Why was I solid, I thought hosts weren't able to be solid. Finally why are you and Miroku cops?"

Justareviewer: ...starting off a review with 'this is not a flame' doesn't help. And if you had waited until the end of the story you would see that I do have an explanation for all. Sometimes it just takes a while for the explanations to be reveled. I'm sorry if it confused you, but you have to be patient and maybe you'll get some reasons.

Blonde-chick-101: lol, sorry about the massive amounts of cliffy's...I like them, hehe

That's all, thanks!
