Hey everyone, guess what? I'M NOT DEAD!

What the hell is wrong with me? Kagome sank against the wall in the hospital lobby. It was her first real day working in New York and she already managed to screw herself over. Kaede is probably going to chew me out on this. What made me snap like that? She held her head in her hands and let out a frustrated moan before going back to the squad car, being sure to sit on the passenger's side. Kagome sank against the wall in the hospital lobby.

"So, what really happened Nina?" Inuyasha asked. "Why didn't we find anything on you?"

Nina looked down, a tear escaping her. "If I tell you…you have to promise me something," she whispered.

"Anything," he said with an equally serious tone. "But I need you to answer me Nina. Why didn't we find anything?"

She inhaled and exhaled, wiping away more tears. "You-you need to promise that…you'll protect her." Nina's face began to crumple as she tried to keep her composure.

"Who do I need to protect Nina? Is you?"

She shook her head no.

"Your grandmother?"

She shook her head again.

"Who is it Nina? Who must I protect?"

She looked up at him now, rivers staining her face. "Anna. Protect her from them. Please."

"Who is Anna, Nina? Is she a friend? Relative?"

"My…friend." Nina put a hand on her forehead and let more sobs escape her. "Thank Jesus she left…my grandmother, I mean."

"Yeah," he whispered, but Nina couldn't even hear it.

"Anna…asked me to keep a secret for her. She asked me to cover it up for her, saying how angry her father would be, how he would beat her. He's a bastard, you know? Hits and shit like that. He already calls us, me and her friends and her, sluts and whores. Mom does nothing about it of course. But with me, the old hag would feel bad. She would want to just cradle me and cry. So Anna…" Nina didn't finish, because the tears flowed freely, like buckets dumping out of her eyes.

"She asked you to cover-up her rape. But why report it to the police?"

"I…didn't want the son of a bitch to go free! How could I stay quiet?"

Inuyasha folded his hands and looked at the floor, then up at Nina.

"Where can I find Anna?"

"So, how much trouble am I in?" Kagome asked. Inuyasha sighed and climbed into the driver's seat, taking note of where Kagome was sitting.

"Well, you're new, so Kaede shouldn't chew you out too much. But you'll need to keep your temper in check. I learned that the hard way."

Kagome smirked at him, turning her body to face his as they traveled down the highway.

"Really? How was that, exactly?" She was curious, and hearing a good story, especially and embarrassing one about the cop that had been a huge pain in the, you know, lately.

"Are you really going to make me relive this?" he asked, fully knowing the answer. Kagome hurriedly nodded her head. "Fine. Here's how it went down—my old partner, Ray, and I were going to bust this bastard that was running a whore-house filled with eight to sixteen year old girls. Well, we get in there and in most of the main rooms, they give up easily. But then we hear this scream, coming from upstairs…"

"Inuyasha!" Ray called out, his gun pointed at a scumbag that was painting a thirteen year-old's face a rainbow of colors. "That scream--,"

"I got it!" Inuyasha pointed to the other officers that had come with them to the bust. "Stay here. And get all these girls out. I want to know who they are and where the hell their parents are." Inuyasha dashed up the stairs with his gun raised, ready to shoot. The leader, the head of this whole disgusting operation was up there, and Inuyasha would take him down.

No matter what.

Inuyasha kicked his foot out, his boot crashing against the cheep wood. "Freeze!"

What Inuyasha saw next made his blood run cold, his stomach wanting to throw up.

"Hey! Get your own, this bitch's mine!" The girl on the bed couldn't have been more that fifteen. Tears streaked make-up across her reddened face. Her chest was bruised, exposed to the cold and stale air of the house. Bite marks trailed down her neck, across her chest and onward. Her skirt was around her knees, not that it would have covered anything anyway. Bruises colored her pale skin, making her more black and blue that white. Blood dripped down her legs from her privates, signaling she had once been a virgin.

The sickest part…he wouldn't stop. Not even when Inuyasha entered the room.

"You son of a bitch," Inuyasha whispered. He got his gun ready for a shot. The click of the gun scared the girl, making her scream. "Remove yourself from her, now!"

"Hell no! I haven't even gotten there yet!" He lifted the girl up with him, their naked bodies pushed together. She was shaking uncontrollably. He grabbed a knife and held it to her back, drawing a few drops of blood. "You can watch, if you want."

Inuyasha growled in rage and kicked a small dining chair at the monster, it hitting the girl's knees. She cried out in pain as her knees buckled, her fall detaching her from the man. She was screaming like a banshee now. Inuyasha caught her in one arm, using the other to shoot the man's knees. He crumpled to the floor, cursing wildly in his pain. Inuyasha set down his gun on a dresser, setting the girl down on the bad, wrapping her in a blanket. She was still screaming. The man grabbed another dining chair, pulling himself up, trying to reach the girl again. Inuyasha kicked him in the side.

"You're a demon, aren't you, you sick bastard?" Inuyasha said, his voice dripping with rage. The man coughed up blood and spoke.

"Yes, and I can see through your little mask you've got. Fucking hanyou, you don't know who you're dealing with." He turned his head to where the girl was sitting. "Would you shut the hell up!" Inuyasha kicked him again. "Fu-,"

BANG! BANG! BANG!

The man's skull scattered, blood everywhere. Inuyasha looked at the girl who held his gun in her hand, which trembled wildly. Inuyasha grabbed her arms with lightning speed, knocking his gun away. She began screaming again.

ALL CLEAR! XD

"Inuyasha, what the hell is going on here?" Ray shouted, cops following him in the filthy room. With one look around, all of their faces took on a look of pallor.

Inuyasha looked up from the girl and closed his eyes. "Shit."

"I left myself unarmed, stupid in its own right, and I let a minor get her hands on a weapon. There was some other crap I could have been charged for, but her parents didn't want to press anything and the girl got off clean. I was suspended for a year and had a rough path of trying to get my good position back, but I got it, 'bout four years ago."

Kagome was silent, looking out the window of the police cruiser. "I can't say I blame her."

I really tried cathcing the drama and overall feeling of Law and Order, though this story is mine, not their's. (I don't own Inuyasha though. :sigh:)
