Chapter 10 (Fu Fu: I'm now in the double digits!)(SRR: You sound like a ten year!)(Fu Fu: Who say I'm not?)(SRR: uhhh...um...are you?)(Fu Fu: No. But If I was, I'd be very hurt,)(SRR: Oh, well, um, bye, )(Fu Fu: That was fun!)

"I'm under the impression your name is Mrs.Higurashi, is that correct?"

The police had arrived to Kagome standing on the stairs, and Souta and there mother on the floor in the living room. After making sure Mr.Higurashi was no where in sight, they had taken the three downtown for questioning.

"Not legally no." She replied. She was sitting in a gray room, with a detective. A one-way mirror on the opposite side of the room.

"What's you legal name then?"

"Noura Takahashi"

"And the man who caused the trouble today? He was your husband?"

"Ex-husband, yes." She said coolly.

"A Mr.Lue Higurashi?" The detective, an officer Kumiko, inquired.

"That's right"

"Then why, might I ask, do you continue to go by your ex-husbands last name?" Officer Kumiko said.

"My children have that name. They had lost there father, I didn't want to add to the confusion." She replied calmly.

The officer pulled out a pack of cigarettes. He lit one up, before offering one to Noura, she declined with a sick look on her face.

"What happened today, Ms.Takahashi?"

"I came home from the grocery store to an, on first appearance, an empty home. So I went straight to the kitchen, to put away the groceries." She explained, in a steady voice, as Kumiko took a drag from his cigarette.

"Suddenly my daughter ran through the kitchen. And she looked unhappy. I didn't stop her, I just figured boy troubles. And she left to sit in front of the Goshinboku. That's when my ex-husband walked in.-"

"Excuse me, Mrs.Takahashi? Why, may I ask, did you and Mr.Higurashi divorce?" The officer interrupted.

"He had been beating my daughter. I kicked him out when she finally told me."

"And you didn't alert the authorities?" Kumiko raised an eyebrow.

"No I did not. I didn't believe it necessary. I didn't want my children's father in jail. I wouldn't put them through that." She replied coldly. Giving him a look to match.

"Where has your husband been? Why was he at your house?"

"In the states. He promised me had changed when he returned a few weeks ago, he's been living at the shrine ever since." Noura crossed her arms over her chest. She didn't like being hounded for details.

"Alright. Continue with your story."

"Thank you. As I was saying, Lue walked in, and started making suggestions. Inquiring about things that were none of his business, and I told him so. That was when I started to goad him. Talk about our past, and the people who had inhabited it, when he hit me. He started yelling at me. Kagome ran in the door. And that's when Lue pulled out a gun. He aimed it at Kagome, and told her not to move. She froze. Then, next second, my son comes running through the door. Lue tells him to go pack up his things, and stay in his room until he came to collect him. So Souta ran upstairs. I was afraid for all of our lives at this point." She took a shuddering breath before continuing.

"He gave me the order to stay in the kitchen, and not to touch the phone. Before he turned back to my daughter, and grabbed her arm, pulling her towards the living room."

"And you tried to stop him?" Kumiko asked.

"I ran after them, When I got in front of him, they were behind the couch. I told him to stop, I knew what he was gonna, " He voice shook. "What he was going to do, And I told him to stop. So he hit me, and I fell over the back of the couch, and hit my head, knocking me out. My son woke me later, that's when we heard a crash, and Kagome came down the stairs. And that's when the cops got there."

"That was it?"

"As far as I know. I didn't get a chance to talk to Kagome, so I don't know exactly what happened. You'll have to ask her." She said. "Can I go now?"

"Yeah, come on" And he lead her out of the room.

"Souta Higurashi? That's your name right?" Officer Kumiko asked. The poor kid was paler then paper, and shaking.

"Y-yeah" He replied.

"It's okay Souta. I just wanna ask you a few questions. And I expect the truth. Alright?" Kumiko said.

Souta shook from head to toe, before nodding.

"What happened today?"

"Wh-wh-when?" He stuttered.

"How bout, when you got home from school."

"I c-came into the k-kitchen, and, my dad, he-he- he had a gun in his hand, and he was pointing it at Ka-kagome. And..." He trailed off. He was just a kid, he shouldn't be dealing with this. But he was. Kumiko took a deep breath before saying.

"Come on"

Souta took a steadying breath. And some of the color came back to his face as he said. "Chichioya, he, shouted at me. Told me to go pack, and stay in my room till he came to get me. So I went. I ran up the stairs. And soon, I heard him coming up the stairs too, and my sister was screaming. So I looked out, and he yelled for me to go back inside my room. So I did. After I saw he had her slung over his shoulder. And once I heard my sisters door slam, I ran to my moms room, and called you guys. That's when I heard her screaming for him to let her go, pleading with him. My sister. I didn't know what was going on, so I ran downstairs, and my mom was just waking up, so O went to her. And I went to the kitchen to get her an ice-pack, when I saw..."

"Whad'ga see?"

"My father, falling with A whole bunch of glass. So I ran back to my mom. And that's when you guys got there." He finished, still shaking slightly. And still pretty pale. "What's gonna happen? Is my family in trouble?"

"Why would your family be in trouble?"

"Why else would we be down here? We were terrorized by my father, and we ask for help, and end up getting the third degree, what's the deal?" He asked, sounding angrier by the second.

"That's all we need from you. You can go" And Kumiko stood up, and guided Souta to the door.

Inuyasha sat on the lip of the well. Staring down into the depths. The monk and exterminator had been there minutes ago, asking about Kagome. And Inuyasha hadn't said anything. Just that if they didn't leave, both of them would end up with there heads in different places then there bodies. They had curiously disappeared shortly after. Leaving Inuyasha with his guilt.

He got Kagome's family in trouble. But al he was doing was protecting them. What was wrong with that? The stupid bastard deserved what he got.

He was growling, as he thought about the stupid man, who Kagome called Father. And, about his curious scent. When He caught a completely different, yet all to familiar one.

'Kikyou'
