Chapter 7

Recap:

Her mind raced in time to the rapid beating of her heart. It's all a lie! He doesn't care about me! How could he? I KILLED someone! Inuyasha's hand left her face. What he did next surprised her.

He…..

This time:

He wrapped his arms around her small frame and pulled her close, into a loving, caring and warm embrace. (Muhahahahaha! U all thought that they were going 2 kiss! Ha ha! I tricked u! Don't fret, the time will come.)

She was too surprised by the gesture and the fact that she was now pulled against Inuyasha's nicely toned chest to respond at first. What he said to her next brought tears to her eyes and lifted her spirit somewhat.

"Kagome, it's alright. I promise I'll do whatever it takes to help you get through this. You're not alone." He softly whispered in her ear.

That was the last straw for Kagome. She buried her face in his chest and cried. She cried and cried until she couldn't cry anymore. The whole time she was crying Inuyasha held her and comforted her the best he could.

(A few days later.)

Kagome was sitting at one of the small tables in the main room of the club, along with Inuyasha and his older brother, Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru was a lawyer and he was going to help Kagome. Sesshomaru was known throughout Japan as one of the top lawyers and also that he worked tirelessly to help hanyous get some rights and better treatment. So what better way to do that than to help Kagome to win her case?

When Sango and Miroku found out about what had happened they told Kagome that they would help her in any way they could and would be there for her no matter what. (this almost make her start crying again.) Kagome couldn't really go back to the house and get her clothes, so Sango lent her some. Kagome was now starting to believe that Inuyasha, Sango and Miroku were sent to her as a message. She had the feeling that her dad's last wish just might come true one day.

Sesshomaru, at this point was going over the basic goals of the court case and what he was going to try and do for her. After hearing what he had to say she finally spoke up,

"So basically we're going to dump the blame on him and guilt the jury into voting not guilty." She stated.

Inuyasha smirked at how she had put it and even Sesshomaru let a shadow of a smile cross his normal, emotionless 'court face' as Inuyasha called it.

"Yes, that is the basic idea. But we are also going to milk the media for all of the coverage we can get." Replied Sesshomaru, in a monotone voice.

Kagome nodded showing that she understood.

"Alright, I guess I'll be on my way then. Inuyasha will tell you when the court dates are and things like that." said Sesshomaru as he stood up to leave and bowed to her. "Good day Higarashi-sama."

"Ja ne Sesshomaru-san and thank you for all you are doing for me." Said Kagome.

"It is my pleasure." Said Sess. He then turned from them and left.

Kagome slumped back into her chair and leaned back closing her eyes. Inuyasha sat back down next to her and took her hand in his. Inuyasha had become a sort of lifeline for Kagome. Without him by her side she probably wouldn't be sitting there.

There was a soft clunk causing Kagome to open her eyes. A glass was now sitting in front of her. Bankotsu then set another drink in front of Inuyasha. Kagome flashed a smile of thanks at Bankotsu before he walked back over to the bar. Inuyasha and Kagome silently drank their drinks never letting go of each other's hands.

After downing the last of her dink Kagome set her glass down and tried to stifle a big yawn, but failed miserably.

"Why don't you go lay down and try to get some sleep?" he quietly asked her.

Kagome looked at him and slowly shook her head. She had been having trouble sleeping lately. She kept having nightmares of that night, imagining the horrible things that she might have done.

After sometime they moved from the table they had been sitting at and over to one of the soft comfy couches and sat down. Soon Kagome's eyes started to get heavier. She was tired but she didn't want to have another nightmare. But despite her self she curled up next to Inuyasha and was soon fast asleep with her head resting on Inuyasha's lap.

Jakotsu walked over and covered her up with a red throw. Inuyasha sat there just watching her sleep and gently running his claws through her hair. A little later on Sango and Miroku made an appearance. They had brought some food with them for Inuyasha and Kagome. But when they saw that Kagome was asleep they made a detour and gave the food to Bankotsu so that he could put it up until Kagome woke up.

About an hour later Kagome woke up. She sat up yawning and stretching. When she realized where she had been sleeping and that Sango and Miroku where there a slight blush crept across her pale face. As she thought about it more she realized that she hadn't blushed in forever and now she remembered why she didn't like it.

"Hey Kags. How are you feeling?" asked Sango.

Kagome settled back into the couch before she answered.

"I'm fine. How about you two?" she asked.

"Pretty good." Answered Sango.

"Fine." Replied Miroku.

Bankotsu then walked over and gave Inuyasha and Kagome the food that Sango and Miroku had brought for them. While the two were eating there was just some light talk about random things. That is until the subject of school came up.

"Well, I obviously can't go during this whole court thing, let alone leave here." Stated Kagome

After some thinking Sango came up with a simple solution. "In that case, we'll just have to get your work and bring it to you then once you're done with it turn it in for you." She said matter of factly.

Inuyasha and Miroku thought that this was a great idea and agreed to do it. After that day was over the rest of the break seemed to just slip by so fast, and all too soon it was time for school to start again.

A couple of weeks into school after getting back from the break Inuyasha came to the club after school with her work and some news.

"Your first court date has been set for Friday. I'm going to skip school and go with you." He said as he plopped down next to her.

okay. I is gonna stop it there. U all will have 2 wait 4 the next chappy 2 c wut happens at her first court case. Til then, bu byes!
