Chapter 17

I am so sorry I didn't post this. School ended and I don't have the right software to load this on my own computer! I am a senior this year so it's going to be hard for me to keep up with this story. And on top of that one of my senior lounges I can't use the computer! I only have 2 lounges. I will try my best though so please stick with me.

Tyler and Kagome looked their father directly in the face. Kagome could feel Tyler shaking like crazy. 'I hope I can protect him.' For two full minutes no one spoke a word. Frog and Inuyasha stood where they were ready to pounce if they needed to. Ryan finally broke the silence. "Tyler what in God's name are you doing here?"

Tyler looked up at Kagome and swallowed hoping she would speak for him. She had a pretty good idea what he wanted to say.

"Don't you mean why aren't you with your mother? And I thought I took care of you two? How did you survive? How could you dad!"

Ryan looked as if he was turning purple. He was trying to take in the scene around him. Tyler was standing behind Kagome shacking as if it was suddenly freezing in the room. Kagome stood as if she was ready to pounce but yet she was twisting the material of her shirt in her hand which is what he knew she did when she was nervous. And then Frog and Inuyasha were looking as if they were getting ready to fight.

Ryan smirked. Kagome wasn't going yo do anything. "What is that supposed to mean? Your brother and that bitch left us years ago. Don't you remember how you cried and cried wishing that mommy dearest would come back to get you? Well did you ever stop and think that maybe you were the reason she left?"

Kagome's voice choked in the back of her throat. "Yeah I did! I thought that every day. And you never gave a damn how I felt!"

"Oh don't give me that damn self pity crap. Oh, my mommy and daddy don't love me boo who."

Inuyasha shouted at Ryan, "Well you don't! That's the reason Kagome's mom left and maybe if you showed her some affection once in awhile she wouldn't have had to go looking for her mother." The reality of the situation sunk in and Ryan's expression changed to from smirks to panic.

"What do you mean she went looking for her mother?" Ryan shifted his gaze to Kagome and Tyler. "That's right! We went looking for her."

"Well. I see. And, did you find her? Because obviously I don't know how to treat you right so you should just go live with the bitch."

"DON'T CALL HER THAT!" Before Kagome realized what was happening she ran towards Ryan and with every bit of power that was left in her she shocked Ryan. But she couldn't kill him. She couldn't be that cruel even though it was what he deserved. Ryan started laughing. When you were born I knew that you would have those powers. As time went on and I never saw you use them, I started to think you were too dumb to."

"Your right in a way she kind of was. All those times you beat her to near death she should have used them on you."

Tyler gasped and Kagome looked at him. She didn't want him to know that Ryan was beating her. But after his gasp Tyler remained silent. After feeling like she dodged that bullet she turned her attention back to Ryan.

"Where is our mom? You tell me right now or we're going to the police with everything we have. I'm sure they will find what we know very interesting about the disappearance of mom."

"Do you honestly think that I would tell and then let you out of here?" Before Ryan could even finish his next breath Kagome and Tyler flew at him with all their strength and had him pinned against the floor. "You don't know for sure that I took her. Get the hell off of me!"

Not even using a quarter of their powers, they held Ryan on the ground. "Actually I do know. I connected with her and I know you are hiding her somewhere in a basement. So you have two choices dad you can tell me where mom is and turn yourself into the police or we can go to the police and do it for you."

Kagome could feel Ryan wiggling beneath her and before she could do anything he pulled a gun on them pushing them off of him. Tyler screamed and Kagome took charge. She used her mind powers and flew the gun right of his hands and into hers.

Everyone stared in amazement. You have five seconds Ryan. 1." Ryan just stared at her. "2…3…4…" Still Ryan said nothing. But as Kagome began to say five there was a noise coming from downstairs. Taking their distraction as a blessing Ryan fled down the stairs screaming, HELP!" Kagome and Inuyasha looked at each other and raced down the stairs after him, screaming, "TYLER STAY WITH FROG DON"T MOVE!"

But when they reached the bottom of the stairs, Ryan was gone. Kagome turned pale and slapped her forehead. "What's wrong Kagome?"

"I can feel my mom. She made the noise to distract him so we could get out of there. She didn't realize I was the one holding the gun. sigh . Wow, great timing mom." Kagome laughed a little and looked at Inuyasha. "What do we do no-...Oh My God Inuyasha what's today? Friday?"

Inuyasha sat and thought for a minute, "Um yeah I guess so but it's almost midnight so it's almost Saturday."

"INUYASHA!"

"What!"

"Today we are supposed to go to that thing with your brother and then to Shawn's! I haven't even come up with a song!"

"There is still time don't worry. Let's go back upstairs and work on it. It'll be ok."

The two walked back up the stairs to her room. They let Tyler and Frog know that everything was safe. They sat on Kagome's bed and the four of them worked on a song that would blow Inuyasha's brother away.

Confident that they had come up with the best that they could, Kagome said, "Wait, can we do a duet?" Inuyasha thought about it and said, "Well don't you want my brother to see how good just you can sing?"

"No. This audition was to see if I can be your partner right? Well let's show them how well we can work together I have the perfect idea!"

She seemed so excited about it that he just couldn't turn her down. They worked on it a little bit more and everyone went back to their houses to get a little sleep then to get ready for a big day. Tyler went back to his room and tried to sleep bit couldn't so he went to Kagome's room and crawled into bed with her like he used to do when they were little.

A few hours later Kagome's alarm went off and she woke up feeling as if she never had gone to bed at all. Stretching, she knocked Tyler off her bed. "OW! What did you do that for?"

Kagome stared at him with a blank expression then she finally realized what was going on. "Well jeez Tyler I didn't even know you were in here. If I had I would have been more careful. What are you doing in here anyway?"

"I couldn't sleep so I came in here with you like I used to when we were little. Is that ok?" Kagome threw a pillow at him then said, "Yes it's fine but now get out so that we can ready we don't have much time. And you definitely need a shower. So you go take a shower and I'll pick out my clothes and make up and stuff. Then I'll take a shower."

"Ok."

Tyler ran off and Kagome picked up her phone. She dialed Frog's number then hung up. She didn't need him to help her pick out a simple outfit.

A half an hour later Tyler was out of the shower, and Kagome was all set. She took her shower then got dressed. Tyler stared at his sister and realized how much she had changed. She was completely Goth and when she wore those clothes she didn't look the same anymore. And in fact, he told her so. She nodded her head and said, "Well you have been gone for a long time. Of course I have changed." They smiled at each other then Kagome turned around and looked at her self in the mirror. She looked great. She had black rain drop pants with green chains. She wore a little green eye makeup. Her shirt was green with a kitty on it and flowers. (A/N at Hot Topics in the mall, they have that shirt with Kirrara w/e way you spell it and flowers like falling down.)

She put on some jewelry and straightened her hair. She was almost ready when she heard her phone ring. She looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Frog. She picked it up and told him she was ready and that she was going to go get Inuyasha and meet him at his house. Frog said he'd be waiting. Kagome grabbed her purse and her keys yelled for Tyler. Then got in her car and headed over to Inuyasha's, making sure she called ahead to let him know she was coming over.

She turned on the radio and Welcome to my Life was on. Kagome sang along with the song and then when she pulled into Inuyasha's driveway, Tyler hopped in the back and Inuyasha sat in the front. A few moments later they were on their way to Frog's house.

Kagome called him when she got to his house and he pulled out behind her letting them lead the way. That would change later when they went to Shawn's but for now it was fine because Inuyasha was the only one who knew where they were going.

An hour or so later they pulled into the studio and walked to the front door. Kagome took a deep breath and walked into her future.

I am so sorry that took so long! but I am back now so please please please please! Review!
