A/N: I am SOOO sorry for not updating sooner! I had a huge writer's block about where I wanted to go with this story! I am finally over it! YAY! So, without further a due… here is the long awaited chapter.

Nekomata-17

The dark form raced through the shadows, on the roof tops, running above the homes of the sleeping people of Tokyo before jumping into the dark night. Finally, the form took a rest on a lone gargoyle above the city's largest church. Silently, the shadow waited… listening to everything. Finally, there it was… the screaming.

"Well, well, well." The man, obviously a rapist, said. "Look what we have here." He pushed a young brunette woman against the alley wall before pushing himself against the girl. She screamed, yelling at him to stop. No, he wouldn't let her go… not until he had his fun...

He grabbed her hands, pushing them on either side of the girls head, using his built body to hold her form against the wall. The woman could already feel something pushing against her gut which made her wince on disgust. The man liked how he was getting a reaction. He gave a hideous smirk before dipping his head and slowly dragging his tongue along her neck, making the woman scream, even more disgusted, before the rapist bit down on her neck, causing the woman to scream loudly in pain while the man smirked at his efforts. The rapist's victim stopped struggling, knowing it was futile. Slowly he began to wonder his hands, but before he could get any further, he found himself thrown against the far wall of the alley. The woman slumped to the ground, trying hard to gather her thoughts. She struggled to lift her head, weak from fighting her enemy. In front of her, she could barely make out a second form in front of her…

"Who the fuck are you!" The rapist yelled. The form suddenly came into the moonlit alley, out of the darkness. "W-what are you!" The rapist looked to see a woman in leather, her hair seemed to reach her back, but something was atop of her head, but the man couldn't make it out since he could only really see her silhouette, but were they ears? He didn't know. He was soon shaken out of his thoughts when the woman spoke…

"Me? The name's Nekomata, and I'm your worst nightmare." Before the man could do anything, he was lifted into the air and was once again thrown against the wall. The Silhouetted woman grabbed the rapist and lifted him up, slowly she lifted her clawed hand… no one could hear the screaming… not even the almost-violated woman who had made her escape minutes before the screaming.

Kagome walked down the stairs wearing a black happy shirt. It had a pink bunny with blue out lining it, it wiped away a tear with its right paw, underneath it in white letters said, 'You suck and that's sad' (That's my desktop picture… I so need a shirt like it….. Time to go shopping! .. Just kidding… ill go later!) Also wearing black shorts that went down just below the knees with chains on them and a design on the back, she also threw on her favourite Ankh necklace and many bracelets. She then threw on her boots before heading to the kitchen.

"Morning, Squirt." She ruffled her little brother's hair, being aware of his ears, before making some microwave ramen for herself. "Morning, Ane." Was the response she got.

"Kagome, you shouldn't eat that stuff for breakfast you know… you deserve a healthy breakfast…" Kagome drowned out her Gramps' voice as she grabbed her bowl and took it to the living room. She had gotten up early and had enough time to watch the news before heading to school. She turned on the television to check out the news.

Kasumi Hayaku here with today's news, a man was found today in an alley way down Cherii Street. Officials have stated that not only has this man been critically hurt, but he is also a criminal of the law... a rapist police have been trying to track down for ages… "Oh my… I wonder who did that… not that it was a bad thing..." Gramps said as he sat on the rocking chair.

"I have no idea..." Kagome replied as she got up to put her dish away. Her eyes gave a knowing twinkle as she put on her jacket, grabbed her bag and helmet and headed out the door.

When she got to school she was met with her a familiar face.

"Kagome! Hey!" Sango ran up to Kagome. She wore some baggy cut up pants with a no sleeve black t-shirt that said 'I'm busy, you're ugly, have a nice day' with a smiley on it (I have a key chain like that! ). As usual she had her hair in a high ponytail and magenta eye shadow.

"Hey my fellow punk rocker, how are ya?" Kagome asked as she walked towards her friend.

"Meh… so n' so…." Sango looked a little pissed, and Kagome could already guess what happened.

"Let me guess... the lecher is around here somewhere..." Kagome said with a slight giggle in her voice.

"Unfortunately….. But about yesterday, thanks for letting us use some of your scrolls; they can be of some real use for our project." Sango said, her gloomy mood gone.

"Hey no prob… well come on, we'd better get to class." The two girls headed for their fist class.

Their classes seemed to go by quite quickly until finally lunch time arrived.

Did you hear about that man on the news this morning? I find it amazing!" Sango said as she and Kagome sat at the picnic table eating their lunches.

"Why Sango, I did. What about you Inuyasha?" Miroku asked as he sat down across from Sango, Inuyasha across from Kagome.

"Feh, yeah I did. About time someone did something around here." Inuyasha ate his lunch while the others talked.

"What about you Kagome?" Sango looked at Kagome.

"Yeah, I heard about it… I don't see why you're making such a big deal about it though; bad guys get captured all the time." Kagome said while shrugging and continued to eat her food. Sango looked a little stunned.

"What do you mean? This kinda thing doesn't usually happen… plus, this guy was critically hurt!"

"Oh, well where I lived stuff like that happened all the time… its nothing really surprising is all…" Kagome left it at that before finishing the rest of her lunch. Soon the bell rang for them to go to class.

Kagome walked towards her art class, passing a glaring Kikyo before reaching her destination. She sat in her desk and was finishing a drawing that she was doing while listening to System of a Down. Unknowingly, Inuyasha had entered the class and looked upon the drawing that she was making.

The drawing was of a small young girl in a blue Yukata. On it were cherry blossom branches. The young girl herself had white silver hair that went down to the small of her back, her eyes shone gold with a hint of silver. Her eyes were gentle and she had a cheery smile. Her hair blew softly in the breeze. Calligraphy bordered the bottom. It spelled out Sakura.

Inuyasha looked down at the drawing. 'Wow, she's pretty good…' Kagome finally felt a presence beside her. She looked up to see Inuyasha beside her drawing his own picture.

The day went pretty fast until finally school was over. The four said their goodbyes and raced to their separate homes.

Kagome entered the shrine parking lot, and entered the house. "I'm home!"

Souta came running into the room. "Hey sis! Ayame called!"

Kagome looked shocked at her little brother. "W-what? What did she say?" As soon as she said this, a honking was heard from outside. She ran out the door to the parking lot, when suddenly she was pelted by two objects… or should I say people.

"Mommy!" Came two voices. Kagome looked down to see two children hugging her torso.

"Shippo! Bunza! Oh my Kami!" Kagome grabbed the two children and hugged them tightly.

"They just couldn't wait to see you!" A woman with fiery red hair in pig tails and green eyes said as she helped Kagome off the ground. Kagome could only hug the two boys in her arms. One little boy, Shippo, had red hair tight in a puffy ponytail and green eyes, while the other boy, Bunza, had short brown hair down to his shoulders and brown eyes.

"I missed you guys so much!" Kagome looked down at the two boys then at Ayame "Come on, let's go inside, we'll talk there." As they entered the house, Kagome took down her disguise, Ayame and the two boys quickly followed. Ayame didn't look that differently, she being a wolf youkai, but the boys looked differently... Shippo's ears became pointed, he had paws instead of hands and feet, and had a bushy fox tail. Bunza's ears became feline above his head. Paws were replaced and he had brown fur, to finish off his form with a curled lynx tail.

"Mommy, we missed you so much!" Shippo exclaimed as he hugged his adoptive mother. "Me too!" Cried Bunza.

"Well now you're here… don't worry." Kagome looked lovingly at her adoptive boys she accepted about two years ago. It turns out that Kagome had Ayame baby-sit while her and Souta settled in at the shrine. "Thanks again for watching them Ayame, it meant a lot."

"Meh. No problem anything for a cousin, they were peaches.. except for the whole wanting to see you bit." Ayame joked.

"Still thank you… their rooms are already set up upstairs across from my room. Do you wish to stay the night?" Kagome got everyone a drink before settling down in a chair.

"Well if you don't mind. I need a rest from driving." Ayame replied. "Actually I could do for a nap right now anyway. And don't worry, I know where the guest room is, I'll lead myself." And with that Ayame went upstairs.

"Shippo! Bunza!" Souta came running into the room to see the two boys. When called, both boys excitedly jumped onto Souta. Kagome laughed.

"Souta, why don't you bring them upstairs and play with your video games." Kagome suggested with a gentle smile.

"Alright sis." Souta took the boys upstairs.

"I think I'll call Sango." Kagome said to herself as she headed toward the phone.

ring ring

Kagome waited until Someone picked up.

"Hello?" Came a boy's voice.

"Hi. Is Sango there?" Kagome asked.

"Yeah hold on." The voice left and was replaced by a females voice.

"Hello?"

"Hey Sango, its Kag. Guess what?" Kagome asked.

"Oh hey Kagome. What?" Sango replied.

"Well remember the two boys I told you I adopted? That I left with a cousin of mine? Well they just came in! I'm so happy!" Exclaimed Kagome.

"Really? That's great! I cant wait to meet them!"

"Well that's why I called , I wanted to know if you wanted to come over for a little while."

"Yeah sure! When do you want me over?"

"Well now's good."

"Okay, see ya in a bit!" And with that Sango hung up.

Kagome hung up the phone and raced up stairs. She entered Souta's room to find the boys playing a racing game on the television, and so far, Souta was winning.

"Hey boys?" The three children looked up to Kagome. "I need you guys to put on your concealments, a friend of mine is coming to meet you guys. So come on, put them on."

Kagome left the room in the process putting up her concealment spell and went down stairs to watch some television before Sango arrived. After a while of flipping channels, the door rang. Kagome opened the door and was greeted by Sango.

"Hey Kags!" Sango chirped as she stepped into Kagome's house.

"Hey, the boys are upstairs. C'mon, I want you to meet them!" Kagome said when suddenly she realized that Sango wasn't alone. Beside her was a seemingly eleven year old boy by the looks of it. He had short dark brown hair tied in a small high ponytail, and brown eyes. Sango seemed to had noticed Kagome's distraction and felt stupid for not introducing.

"Right, well first I would like you to meet my younger brother Kohaku. Kohaku, this is Souta's older sister Kagome." Sango gave an apologetic smile for not doing it earlier. Kagome just shook her head laughing and smiled at Kohaku. He was dressed in a navy blue t-shirt with a cartoon grim reaper on it. He also wore baggy black shorts and black skater shoes.

Kagome quickly put out her hand for Kohaku to shake.

"Why hello there Kohaku. It's a pleasure to meet you." Kohaku smiled back while shaking her hand.

"Yeah it's really nice to meet you too. Is Souta home?" Kohaku asked, taking beck his hand.

"Yup. C'mon, I'll show you where his room is." Kagome climbed up the stairs with Sango and Kohaku close behind. They entered Souta's room to find three boys playing. Souta quickly looked up to see his sister and their new guests.

"Hey sis. Kohaku, hey!" Souta raced to Kohaku and pulled him towards the video games where they excitedly began to talk and play the games.

"Okaasan? Who's your friend Okaasan?" Asked Bunza as he and Shippo stood next to their mother. Kagome smiled warmly as she crouched down and hugged her two sons before turning them to face Sango.

"Boys, this is my friend Sango from school. Sango, I would like you to meet my two sons, Bunza," She indicated to the boy with brown hair. "And Shippo." She indicated the boy with red hair.

Sango smiled as she crouched down; eye level to the two ten year old boys (they are still short). "Why hello. As your mother said, I'm Sango. It's a pleasure to meet you two." She stretched out her hand for the boys to take. Shippo and Bunza looked up to their mother who nodded to them to go forward, before shaking Sango's hand.

"Can we go play with Souta and Kohaku now?" Asked Shippo. When Kagome nodded, the two ten year old boys raced to Souta and their new friend as they continued playing games.

Sango and Kagome both got up from their crouching positions.

"Your boys are so cute, Kagome." Sango said as she watched the boys play.

"Yeah, they are. Well they're gonna be preoccupied for a while, so why don't we head to my room." The two girls made their way across the hall to Kagome's own room. A Sango walked in, she couldn't help but gawk at it. The room was pitch black with hot pink trimming, but the walls could be barely seen with all the pictures, posters and drawings on her wall. Pinned to the walls were pictures of bands, Blink 182, Linkin Park, Evanescence, The Used, My Chemical Romance, and so much more. Beside them were pictures of Kagome and her family, some of them goofy pictures with her brother, sticking out their tongues, and the rest were drawings done by Kagome herself.

"Wow… Kagome, your room is so cool." As Sango examined a little more carefully, in the center of the room, against the wall was her bed, with hot pink covers, and black sheets and pillows. Beside that was a black dresser with a guitar case leaning against it. The guitar case was in the shape of a coffin, grey, with pictures of skulls on it. Sango smirked before racing and jumping on Kagome's bed, soon hearing her friend's laughter.

"Glad you like it." Kagome sat next to Sango on the bed after turning on her radio to her favourite station, 89X ( okay, I don't know if they can really get that station.. please bear with me… and also, 89X is the best station ) Sango nodded her head once with a satisfied smile.

"A punk girl, with a pink and black room, who listens to 89X. You may be a good friend after all." Kagome laughed.

"Oh, I'm so glad I exceeded your expectations, my lady" Kagome replied sarcastically, blowing her head, earning a laugh from Sango.

As Sango continued to gaze around the room, her eyes fell upon the picture of Kagome, Souta, Bunza, Shippo, and two adults that Sango guessed were Kagome's parents. ' I do wonder what happened to them… maybe someday Kagome will tell me… but until then…' "Hey Kagome, how did you end up adopting Shippo and Bunza?" Sango looked towards Kagome who gave a sad smile.

"Well, where I used to live, there were a lot of gangs. One night, about three years ago, I decided to go for a walk…"

Flash back

Kagome walked down the barren street. Although it looked deserted, you could hear the dogs barking, people yelling, and the sound of smashing glass once in a while. The sounds of the gangs… 'Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to come out after all…' Kagome thought to herself. She had snuck out of the house when no one knew. She was about to turn back, when she suddenly heard yelling… but it wasn't the usual yelling one would hear… I was a child's voice. 'What the hell?' Kagome raced towards the voice down an alley. There she saw two tall figures. Right away she recognized them. Hiten and Maten… The Thunder Brothers Gang. The men didn't notice her, for they had their backs towards her. As Kagome tried to peer around them from the garbage bin she was hiding behind, she could see two smaller forms. One seemed to be standing, guarding the low crouched figure behind it. Hiten laughed as he walked towards the small children, and before Kagome could think things through. She was already standing in front of the children, raising her fist to Hitan and Maten. The men glanced at each other, before bursting into laughter.

"So brother, this bitch thinks she can stand in our way. Huh?" Hiten bellowed. His piercing red eyes gazed on Kagome.

"We'll have to teach her a lesson then won't we brother…" Maten replied, getting ready to attack Kagome.

Kagome smirked before grabbing the two small figures behind her and jumping over the men. From behind she was able to kick them into the garbage bins. Take that you assholes." Kagome knew she had to get out of there and quick. Before then men could get back up, she was already half way down the street.

End Flashback

"I got back to my house, and tucked them into bed. In the morning, they told me how they were orphans living on the street. After begging my parents, they were able to stay. After a while, they began calling me momma… soon it stuck, and then when I turned sixteen, my mother let me adopt them" Kagome finished her story.

Sango sat there for a minute, absorbing all the information that was just given. "Wow…" was all she could muster.

After a few hours, it was time for Sango and her brother to go.

Kagome, Souta and the two sons stood on the porch, waving at Sango and Kohaku as they headed home. After Kagome closed the door, she sent Souta and her sons to bed, telling Shippo and Bunza that she would up to sing them a song.

After making sure the boys were comfy in their bed, she asked them what they wanted her to sing.

"Okaasan, can you sing the whiskey song?" Asked Bunza

"Yeah, Okaasan, Whiskey Lullaby! It's so pretty." Shippo piped in.

"Oh, alright." Kagome replied, laughing gently as she gazed at her two sons. "Well here goes…" She took a breath before singing.

"She put him out like the burnin' end of a midnight cigarette
She broke his heart he spent his whole life tryin' to forget
We watched him drink his pain away a little at a time
But he never could get drunk enough to get her off his mind
Until the night

The eyes of the two boys began to close as Kagome continued to sing.

He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger
And finally drank away her memory
Life is short but this time it was bigger
Than the strength he had to get up off his knees
We found him with his face down in the pillow
With a note that said I'll love her till I die
And when we buried him beneath the willow
The angels sang a whiskey lullaby

The rumors flew but nobody knew how much she blamed herself
For years and years she tried to hide the whiskey on her breath
She finally drank her pain away a little at a time
But she never could get drunk enough to get him off her mind
Until the night She put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger
And finally drank away his memory
Life is short but this time it was bigger
Than the strength she had to get up off her knees
We found her with her face down in the pillow
Clinging to his picture for dear life
We laid her next to him beneath the willow
While the angels sang a whiskey lullaby

As soon as Kagome finished singing, the two boys were already fast asleep. Giving them each a kiss on their forehead, she walked to the door, and slowly closed it before heading to her own room…

The dark figure raced through the night, once smelling the distinct scent of Bear Youkai. Kagome followed the scent, and sure enough, on the roof top was a bear youkai. He was on all fours as he got ready to tear through the flesh of the victim bellow him. Kagome raced as fast as she could to reach the demon before it killed.

The bear youkai looked at his prize bellow him… it was against the boss's orders to kill, but it looked so, enticing… he opened his jaw, bringing it down to the unconscious woman's throat. But before he could taste the blood beneath her skin, he was thrown back, off the building.

"When will your kind learn… live the innocent alone." Kagome called towards the bear youkai. It seemed to change its mind and ran. Kagome took a quick glance before making sure the woman was alright before hunting down the killer. 'What the hell?' The girl, it was the same girl she saved the other night! Kagome was stunned. She reached down to make sure the girl had no injuries when she suddenly felt a cold, sharp object under her chin.

"Get away from her…" growled a gruff voice. Kagome quickly jumped back, ready to attack her intruder. The man before her… or demon… stood before her, protecting the woman on the ground. "What's wrong, couldn't find a decent meal, so came after her instead?" The man wore a red haori and yokata, he had silver hair going down to the middle of his back, golden eyes, and two dog ears were perched on his head. He still held the giant sword in his hand.

Kagome was stunned. She was the one protecting the girl, and now this guy thought that she had done this. "Hey jackass! If you would have gotten here sooner, you would have saw then demon that tried to kill her!" Before she could the guy a time to react, she jumped from the roof tops and went after the bear demon. Obviously, the guy in the red knew the girl… something in his eyes said it… Kagome figured that now she was safe, that she could go after that demon.

Something didn't settle right with her… sure some demons and humans went after others… but what was the chance that it would be the same girl… it just didn't sound right.

Kagome continued to follow the scent until she came to a warehouse. She looked down.. It looked deserted. She was about to jump down to get a closer look when she saw the bear youkai in human form walk out with another man. They seemed to be in a deep conversation… now Kagome knew foe sure something was wrong… and that the girl she saved could be in more danger now…
