Chapter 8

"Oh, my god! Your 'rents did this to you?" Sango gave me a skeptical look.

I broke down, and flung myself into Inuyasha's firm grasp. At first, his muscles tensed up, but after a sec, he relaxed. And I felt him nod his head to Sango's question.

"That's why we need to meet you tomorrow." I shuddered, such a firm voice. Much more determined and hurt than usual.

Sango and Miroku left the room, their feelings hurt by the fact that I hadn't told them. That I hadn't gone to them for help.

"Inuyasha, why are they coming with tomorrow? We aren't going to do anything drastic… are we?"

"No, but I need to talk to my dad. He might be able to give us some money." He walked out of the room.

"But why on earth do we need some money? I'm rich!" he came back in with a set of keys. "Why don't we just get some money from my vault? Or my checking account? My credit card?"

"Because that much money coming out of any account would look suspicious. We need cash."

"Where are we going to go? I thought we were only going to the station!"

"Yeah, well, your parents will know that you're the one who turned them in… right? So we're gonna get out of the country."

I sat down on the edge of the bed. "I'm gonna take a nap, and when I wake up, I'm gonna go to bed." So I lay there, helpless as a rock. And fell asleep.

DREAM

"Kagome, your parents are in jail, and they can't beat you any more! You should celebrate!" Inuyasha's voice rang through my ears. He came from the doorway, running. He picked me up and spun me around. When he put me down, he got down on his knee. "Kagome, marry me?"
