Chapter 2

Reported Missing

"Kagome I'm home!" Naraku yelled slamming the door as he came in. "Kagome!" Naraku yelled breaking a lamp 'Where the hell is that bitch?' Naraku thought heading to the kitchen. 'Something's not right here dinner isn't ready and the table isn't prepared' Naraku thought he looked around and couldn't find her so he went upstairs.

He walked into their bedroom to find the bed still in mess.

'What if...nah she couldn't have' Naraku thought getting rid of the silly thought that she had run away. He walked to the garage and turned on the light. All the cars were there all except one 'Hers' Naraku thought stomping back inside. He went back upstairs and searched her closet and drawers. 'Some of her clothes are missing and Shippo where is he? He should be home by now' Naraku thought checking his watch.

He went to his son's room and looked around to see that his clothes and other things were missing. 'She took him with her' Naraku thought angry destroying everything in his path. 'She won't get away this easily I'll get her back no matter what it takes' Naraku thought sitting down at his desk. He picked up the phone and started dialing.

"Hello" the man said on the other side. "Hello" Naraku said.

"Naraku?" the man asked a bit surprised "Yes its me I want you to meet me at the bar you remember the one, in a hour" Naraku said hanging up. 'Now to call the police' Naraku thought.

"Hello" a lady answered "How may I help you?" she asked. "Yes I would like to report my wife missing" Naraku said with an evil smile forming on his lips.

"Mommy where did you get that bruise?" Shippo asked looking at her cheek. "What?" Kagome asked confused she looked into the rearview mirror to see the bruise on her cheek. 'O no my spell must have wore off' Kagome thought panicking. "Umm Shippo its nothing you know clumsily me I tripped and...fell hitting my cheek" Kagome said holding her breath hoping he would buy it.

"Ok" Shippo said going back to playing his game. Kagome sighed and looked at her cheek through the mirror and concentrated. 'That's one nasty bruise' Kagome thought as she watched the glamour spell do its magic. 'I cant believe I slipped I must be weaker that I thought. I need to find us a place to stay for the night so I can rest' Kagome thought.

She looked up and saw a sign for a hotel.

'That looks nice' Kagome thought she wrote down the address and decided to stop somewhere for lunch. Kagome parked the car and got out, she grabbed Shippo's hand and walked in. Everyone gave her one glance before turning away and ignoring her, Kagome sighed with relief and found a table for her and Shippo to sit at. A waiter came and Kagome give her there orders twenty minutes later they got their orders and started eating.

Shippo was talking about school and his friends, but Kagome was only half listening she was to worried about Naraku. 'He must have found out by now that I ran away. He'll come looking for me I need to change my appearance maybe even change me name if I have too' Kagome thought. She finished her lunch and asked the waiter for directions to the hotel, before paying the bill and leaving.

She stopped at a convenient store and bought some things before heading to the hotel. After she paid for one night at the hotel she took the key and headed to their room. "This room isn't that bad" Kagome said opening the door and taking a look around. "Yeah and look a TV" Shippo said running in and instantly settling himself in front of the TV.

Kagome rolled her eyes and closed the door behind her.

She locked the door just to be safe and dropped all the things she bought on a bed. "I guess this one's mine and that one's yours" Kagome said. Shippo nodded his head before looking back at the TV 'I guess the hair first' Kagome thought picking up a bottle. "I'm going to take a shower first don't let anyone in the room just come and get me ok?" Kagome asked.

"Ok" Shippo said.

Kagome grabbed all the things she would need and locked herself in the bathroom. After she showered and dried herself off. She took the pair of scissors she bought and cut her hair to shoulder length. Kagome sighed as she threw away the strands of her hair. She would miss her waist length hair but she had to do what needed to be done.

She then started to get to work on dyeing her hair.

After spending all her time on her hair she was satisfied of how it turned out. Instead of her usual brown-black hair it was a dark blue-jet black color. She sighed and pinned her hair up in a bun. She put on her pajamas and cleaned up the bathroom. "Mommy you look pretty" Shippo said when Kagome came out. "Thank you Shippo" Kagome said putting her things away.

"Now its your turn to take a shower" Kagome said.

"Do I have too?" Shippo whined.

"Yes, being clean is important and you'll feel much better getting rid of all the dirt and germs off you" Kagome said.

"Fine" Shippo said jumping off the bed and getting his things Shippo went into the bathroom and started to take his shower. Kagome decided that while Shippo took his shower she would watch the news.

'So far so good' Kagome thought as the news only talked about that opening of a brand mall and how $1 million dollars was generously donated to a hospital. That's when her picture showed up 'O no' Kagome thought.

"In other news a Miss Kagome Nayotake has been reported missing since last night and here we are with Naraku Nayotake her husband can you please tell us what happened?" the reporter asked. "I came home to find her and my son things gone along with her car. The last I saw her was yesterday afternoon before I stepped out.

I hope she's ok I love her so much. I just want her to come home safely" Naraku said.

"And there you have it folks a reward is being offered for the safety and return of Mrs. Kagome Nayotake. If anybody has any information please don't hesitate to call and back to you Sue" the reporter said. That's when Sesshomaru stopped listening and sat back.

'Something isn't right Kagome wouldn't go missing unless she didn't want to be found but why? Kagome why would you leave without saying anything? What are you running from? Or should I say who, Naraku I warned you about him but you didn't listen. I should have stopped you whether you liked it or not, but I didn't I wanted you to be happy' Sesshomaru thought turning off the TV.

He ran his hand through his long sliver-white hair and sighed.

He went to the bathroom and washed his face. 'What to do? What to do?' Sesshomaru thought drying off his face. He walked into his office and opened up his laptop. He popped up a map and checked out all the roadways out. 'If I were Kagome where would I go?' Sesshomaru thought. He found a route that he thought Kagome would take and printed it out.

He circled all the near by hotels on the way and started to pack.

He placed his stuff by the door and started to think what he left behind. He was taking his laptop with him so he didn't have to worry about it, but he didn't want to leave any clues behind. 'Naraku is a smart guy cant underestimate him, I hope Kagome doesn't' Sesshomaru thought. Sesshomaru pulled out his cell phone from his pocket and decided to call InuYasha.

"InuYasha" Sesshomaru said.

"Yeah and hi to you to Sesshomaru" InuYasha said.

"I have no time for formalities have a special team come to my house and erase all evidence of me" Sesshomaru said.

"Ok what are you up too? Why all the secrets?" InuYasha asked.

"The less you know the better off you are, if anybody asks where I am I'm on a important business trip" Sesshomaru said.

"Ok but cant you tell me something? Your making no sense" InuYasha asked.

"No, the less you know, the safer you'll be" Sesshomaru said.

"Why Sesshomaru I didn't know you cared about me" InuYasha teased.

"Just do what I told you to do" Sesshomaru said annoyed. "Yes, sir Captain Fluffy" InuYasha said mocking him. "Don't ever call me that again and do what I told you" Sesshomaru growled hanging up.

Then Sesshomaru called the news station and using his high connections got them to never air the segment about Kagome and the tape destroyed. 'Now that, that's done I can get going' Sesshomaru thought picking up his stuff and locking the door before leaving. He threw his stuff in the back-seat and got in. He started up the car and backed out.

'Hold on Kagome I'm on the way' Sesshomaru thought putting the car in drive and taking off.

'What am I going to do?' Kagome thought over and over pacing back and forth. Kagome continued pacing back and forth until her head hurt. "Ow" Kagome said holding her head as she sat down on her bed. She was panicking about the news report she just witnessed lucky for her Shippo didn't come until the report was over, but she was still worried.

It was only matter of time when he would see it and start asking questions.

"Mommy are you ok?" Shippo asked still drying his hair for the past five minutes. He watched his mommy pace back and forth getting faster each lap until she hurt her head. Shippo was worried was about his mommy she had been acting strange since the day she picked him up from school and said they were going on a vacation.

Even though she had no idea where they were going he didn't understand.

He knew she didn't get the bruise on her cheek from falling, but he didn't want to ask her about it. Cause it seemed she had enough on her mind. He didn't mind going on this unexpected trip. He was going to have a math test anyway the next day and was glad he wouldn't have to take it, but it didn't help him stop worrying about his mom.

He could tell she was scared about something but what?

Only if she would tell him. 'Its not like I'm five anymore I'm ten years old you would think that would mean something' Shippo thought finishing up on drying his hair. "I'm ok sweetie just a migraine" Kagome said looking up smiling. "That's not true, I know something is wrong" Shippo said.

"What do you mean? Nothings wrong" Kagome said struggling not to cry she didn't like lying to him but what choice did she have.

'What do I tell him? That his father had been beating and abusing me. And when he raped me again for the like the thousandth time, that's when I had enough and decided to run away with you. And now he's probably looking out for us and were in danger' Kagome thought to herself trying to calm the beatings of her heart. "Its ok if you don't want to tell me mommy but remember I'm not five but ten" Shippo said getting into bed.

"Thank you sweetie" Kagome said with tears in her eyes. She got up and sat next to Shippo on his bed. "Mommy this sudden trip wouldn't have anything to do with daddy would it?" Shippo asked laying his head on her lap. Kagome bit her lip running her hand through his hair.

'What can I tell him I cant tell him the truth' Kagome thought nibbling her lower bottom lip.

"Things between me and daddy aren't good. I just need some time away from him and don't ask any more questions about it ok?" Kagome asked.

"Ok but as much as I like to travel and eat out when are we going to go home? Or stay somewhere for more then one day?" Shippo asked.

"I don't know I really didnt plan anything it was more of a spur of moment thing when I decided to leave and take you" Kagome said still running her hand through his hair.

"O" was all Shippo could say. "You know this isn't fair for you I shouldn't have drag you along. You're in school and only ten years old. I shouldn't get you involved in my problems with you're dad. I should just send you back home" Kagome said.

"No!" Shippo yelled quickly getting up. "I may not know what's going on between you and dad, but I do know I rather stay here with you" Shippo said before hugging Kagome.

"Please don't send me home" Shippo begged hugging her tighter. Kagome was shocked by Shippo's reaction she thought sending Shippo home would be the best thing to do, but by the way he acted she doubt sending him wasn't the best thing, but the worst thing. If she left him home she wouldn't be able to talk to him cause Naraku would know for sure where she was and come after her.

"Please don't" Shippo begged over and over crying getting over her shock. Kagome hugged Shippo rocking him back and forth. "Calm down, its ok I wont send you back home if you don't want me too" Kagome said wiping his face. "I wont send you home ok so stop crying" Kagome said kissing him on the forehead. "Good night mommy" Shippo said before closing his eyes.

"Good night" Kagome said getting up and turning off the light.

'What I'm I going to do' Kagome thought before laying down and settling in her bed. 'I could go home for help I'm sure mom would take us in. No, no, no think Kagome that's the first place Naraku would look. I have to do this on my own if anybody gets involved they'll get hurt and I don't want that. Well the best thing to do now is to keep on moving' Kagome thought before falling asleep.
