Tsuveras

Previously on 'When I thought I was broken, I met you.

Inuyasha and Kagome ran back inside the rundown house where they found Sota. He was beating the crap out of Desker's face. For some reason, Sota was pissed at Desker.

"WHAT GIVES YOU THE RIGHT TO SAY THAT ABOUT MY BABY SISTER, HUH!? ANSWER ME YOU PRICK!" Sota screamed as he was still punching Desker's face.
Kagome ran over to her big brother and grabbed him. She attempted to pull him away.

"LET ME GO, SIS!" Sota yelled while still trying to get out of her grasp.
Kagome yelled at Sota. She told him to calm down and that she was not going to let go. No matter how hard he tried to twist out of her grasp, she held onto him.

"NO! I WON'T CALM DOWN, KAGOME! I WILL KILL THAT BASTARD!" Sota shouted. Kagome turned to Desker without letting Sota go.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY TO MY BROTHER FOR HIM TO WANT TO GO MIKE TYSON ON YOUR ASS, BITCH!?" Kagome roared the question out with ferocity.

Desker finally got up.

"I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING I SWEAR!" Desker lied.

"BULL-FUCKING-SHIT! MOTHERFUCKER! YOU WERE JUST GOING ON ABOUT HOW YOU WERE GONNA GET MY LITTLE SISTER BACK INTO YOUR

BED!" Sota fumed.

"Well, what can I say, your little sis is a fine piece of ass! It wouldn't be the first time that I fucked her… I bet she wishes she was my little sister." Desker commented. Kagome slackened her hold and Sota broke free. He raced towards Desker.

"YOU'RE FUCKING DEAD! You hear me!? DEAD!" Sota yelled as he pummeled Desker's face in.

"Sota stop, he's not worth going to prison over," Kagome told him. With her words in mind, Sota decided that she was right. He got off of Desker and was about to leave.

"It's okay, I know I'll run into Kagome again, sometime when your ass isn't around." Desker spoke out with a smirk. Sota was about to fuck him up double-time for it, but Inuyasha came forward and knocked the asshole out.

"I only did that, cause Kagome's right! This asshole isn't worth prison time. I know you were about to fuckin' kill him, cause I sure as hell wanted to." Was Inuyasha's explained.
Sota began to walk back towards Kagome, but he caught sight of her face. He found claw marks and bruises on her cheeks. He wondered when she got those injuries.
After all of that, Kagome explained that she just wanted to get Shadow to the vet.
Sota agreed and told her he had to get ready before they go. Kagome went inside with the others but then got angry at Sango and went back outside. Inuyasha followed her.
Inuyasha accidentally scared the living shit out of Kagome, but he apologized and told her that if Sota didn't beat up Desker, he would take out two cigarettes and offered one to him. Inuyasha took it and they both lit up.

"Has anyone ever told you that you smoke a lot?" Inuyasha asked her, but Kagome didn't reply to his question. Instead, she brought up his question from earlier.

"I had a nightmare." She said, which confused him.

"Huh?"

"You wanted to know why I smelled like liquor this morning, so I'm answering your question," Kagome explained.

"Let's just say, yesterday and today, seeing Naraku brought up something that I would really 'love' to forget about, something that he did to me three god damned years ago… I had a nightmare about it, then I woke up... Just to get over the memory of all that fucking bullshit, I mean, I just can't even do this if I'm straight, ya know? So, I found a big bottle of brandy and only after downing it… Well, I went back to sleep after that, so let's leave it at that." She told him, which silenced him.

Kagome was quick to finish her cigarette and put it out as she told Inuyasha that she had to go to the bathroom. She left him there as he hadn't finished his cigarette yet, so he continued puffing on it outside, by himself. After a moment, Sango came outside. Sango told Inuyasha that she saw him out here smoking, so she came out. She admitted that she didn't even know that he and Kagome smoked.
Inuyasha told her that there is a lot about him that she doesn't know. She asked him to tell her about what she doesn't know, but he told her not to worry about it. Sango wouldn't hear any of that and told him that she IS worried about it. She admitted that she knew what Kikyo, Kagura, Yura, and Naraku did to him which made Inuyasha fume with anger. Inuyasha began to go off about how terrible Miroku was for betraying his secret. Sango stopped him and told him that it wasn't Miroku's fault, that she forced it out of him.
Sango begged him to talk about it. If not with her, then Inuyasha insisted that he was just fine and that if anyone did need to talk, it was only Kagome. He then explained what had happened earlier at school with Kaede and then about Kagome wanting to just leave everything behind. After Inuyasha finished explaining, Sango told Inuyasha that Miroku had also said something about a DVD. At the very mention of it, Inuyasha got furious and told her about it. How in it, Naraku and others had raped and tortured her. With the admission, Inuyasha couldn't help his breakdown.

"Why? Why would anyone do that to someone? She was only a child, Sango, a child… That monster raped and tortured a child."

"Oh Inu.." Sango held back tears. After a while, Inuyasha finally gained control of himself and wiped away his tears.

"I have to protect her, I need to protect Kagome from that monster and now Koga. I still blame myself for not getting to her sooner yesterday. Koga pretty much raped her and it's all my fault. I should've gotten there sooner, hell I should've gotten to her before that prick had even set eyes on her." Inuyasha told her, but Sango mentioned to him that Koga didn't get a chance to finish. Inuyasha says it doesn't matter because Koga still raped her with his fingers and he failed at protecting her from that. After a few more moments, Kagome made her way back outside and told Sango and Inuyasha that they were all going to the vet and that everyone else was already in the car. The two followed her into the truck.
On the way, Kagome told everyone that she needed to stop at Sango's, her place, just real quick. Once there, she ran upstairs and grabbed her money from working. With that in hand, she ran back down to the truck and they continued on to the animal clinic.

When they arrived at Noah's Animal Hospital they got out of the car. They got Shadow inside and Kagome began to fill out the paperwork. After they turned in the paperwork, they had to wait a while.
When they were called up, Kagome helped Shadow into an examination room. The vet tech left them there for a moment.
When the vet tech came back, she examined Shadow before attempting to pull out the bullet. After several attempts, the vet tech apologized. She then explained that Shadow would have to get an X-ray.

After, the vet tech told Kagome that they will be back and that she can wait with her friends.
Kagome made it back into the waiting room. She told everyone that Shadow was getting an X-ray. After she finished explaining, another vet named Hojo came out.
He asked Kagome about exactly what happened to Shadow and she explained. Afterward, Doctor Hojo explained that Shadow had a shattered femur as well as a fractured hip bone and that the only way to save him was with surgery. He also told her that the procedure would be expensive.

The Doctor told her how much and much to the surprise of everyone, Kagome pulled out a wad of money from her backpack. Doctor Hojo took the money and gave it over to the receptionists. The doctor then told Kagome that just in case of any other complications, they would have to keep Shadow there for the night for observation.
He told her that they would, however, call her, should anything happen.

Kagome connected telepathically to Shadow and told him what was going on.
After all of that, Kagome went outside. Inuyasha followed her outside again and found her smoking. She tossed him a cigarette.

"You really do smoke a lot, shouldn't you… I don't know, cut back or better yet, quit?" Inuyasha asked as he puffed on his cigarette.
Kagome scoffed,

"Look who's talking, isn't that your third one that I just gave you?"

"Yes, but I'm a half-demon, I don't have to worry about getting any diseases like regular humans do," Inuyasha said with an exhale of his cigarette. Inuyasha had to know if Kagome was working as a stripper, but he didn't want her to be angry with him, but he just had to know. He asked Kagome if it was true that she is working there.

"What's it matter to you?" Kagome snapped. Inuyasha could feel his temper beginning to rise.
"Kagome…"
"Inuyasha, just drop it, okay! It's not anyone's business what I do with my body, just like what you do with your body isn't any of mine." Her

voice was bitter with her words. She went back inside before he could even say anything.
Inuyasha stood there for a moment. He threw his cigarette down on the sidewalk and smothered the ember out.
He was about to walk back inside until he saw Sota come out. Kagome's older brother started walking right towards him.

"Inuyasha, right? I have a question for you and you better answer truthfully, got it?" Sota glared at the inu-hanyou.
"Okay? What's the question?"
"I saw bruises on Kagome and one bruise had claw marks," Sota remarked.
"I want to know if you know anything about that?" Sota questioned.
"Wait, you think that I HIT KAGOME!?" Inuyasha was shocked.
"WELL, YOU DO HAVE CLAWS, SO IT MAKES DAMN GOOD SENSE!" Sota brought his fists up for a fight.

"I WOULD NEVER HURT KAGOME!" Inuyasha yelled.
Sota didn't listen and ran at him. Sota tackled Inuyasha and Inuyasha couldn't help but to think that Sota was a little too strong for a human. He took in Sota's scent and could have sworn he smelt vampire and demon blood.

"DON'T FUCKING LIE YOU BASTARD!" Sota yelled.

"I'M NOT LYING!" Inuyasha hollered back.

"THEN WHO?! WHO HURT MY LITTLE SISTER?!" Sota demanded. Inuyasha could've sworn that Sota's eyes flashed black and he saw little fangs beginning to protrude from his mouth.

"If you would let me go, I will tell you what happened yesterday." Inuyasha urged.

"Alright, start talking," Sota said as he released him. Inuyasha told Sota about what happened at the park with Koga.

"So this Koga was the one that put those marks on my little sister's face?" Sota pressed.

"Only one side of her face, when we took her to the hospital, she ran into your guys 'mother' or more like that bitch ran into Kagome and slapped her on the other side," Inuyasha explained.

"Mom always hated Kagome for some reason. After our Father died she would blame Kagome for basically everything" Sota said.

"Your mom sounds like a total nut job. Either way, I promised Kagome that the next time I see that mangy wolf, I'm beating the shit outta him for even touching her." Inuyasha told him.
Sota couldn't help but wonder what Inuyasha's intentions for his little sister were, so he asked Inuyasha about it as he offered a threat that he could still kick his ass.

"Nothing… I'm just her friend and I want to protect her. All these people keep trying to hurt her and she doesn't deserve any of it, ya know? She's just trying to get by in life and all these fuckers keep gettin' in the way.

" Inuyasha said."But, you want more than that, don't you?" Sota asked.

"Yes, but I don't want to pressure her, it has to be up to her. I would never force myself onto her, what she wants is all that matters. Besides I'm a hanyou, she wouldn't want to be with me like that," Inuyasha said with his ears flattened against his head.

"I can tell she cares deeply about you, a lot by the way she looks at you. But after what she's been through, she might think that you don't want her. She thinks she's hellspawn, ya know? No matter what I tell her, she hates herself." Sota admitted, "in all honesty, I'd rather see you with her than someone else, I know you two just met yesterday and I just met you today but, I feel as if I can trust you, I believe you would be good for my baby sister. She needs to feel safe and I get the feeling that you are the only guy that can bring my little sister the comfort that she needs."

"I will protect her with my life, I promise you Sota, Kagome will not be hurt again," Inuyasha spoke with determination in his voice.
The two clasped hands for a moment in agreement and traded phone numbers in case of emergency. They went back inside and Sotawent to get Kagome. He stood next to her as the vet tech typed Kagome's phone number and address into her computer.

"Ok, you are all set, Ms. Higurashi." The vet tech told her and after they all left out the building. They all got into the car and Sota began to drop everyone off. He dropped Kagome and Sango off last.
The two girls went inside and Kagome went upstairs to take a quick shower.
after she was done with her shower, she got dressed. After she finished, she checked the time. It was just about 6 pm. She headed downstairs and left, heading for Goshinkis.
When Inuyasha got home, Nikki went nuts. Inuyasha filled up her food and water bowls. After, he checked the time. He realized he was running late, so he started getting ready. After that, he told Nikki that he was heading out and left for Goshinki's.
Inuyasha finally got to Goshinki's. After getting a change of clothes, he heard Michiko announcing one of the dancers.

"She's been gone for a month, but she came back yesterday and she is here again today! Give it up for the one, the only, the mysterious, enigmatic, the girl that's so hot she'll make you want to have it, RAVEN!"
Everyone started cheering.

The girl on stage positioned herself in a provocative position on just before the music started. When the song began, so too did her body.
She grinded her hips in a circular motion before she brought her bum back and arched her back inwards.
Her twerking sped up, faster and faster, causing her ass to jiggle as she danced.
Guys were going wild, as Inuyasha watched, he felt jealous. It wasn't like this was Kagome... so why was he feeling like this? Inuyasha watched the girl do a backbend. The crowd was still going wild.

The girl turned, facing the crowd. Inuyasha rubbed his eyes, he swore that she looked just like Kagome.
The girl flipped her hair before she used her hands to accentuate her breasts and then her ass.
She ripped off her crop top which made men howl with desire. She threw it and it landed on Inuyasha's lap.
The girl who he didn't know was 'Kagome' had him feeling insatiable. He could feel the stirrings of blood lowering to places he didn't want it too.
Kagome began rocking her hips to the beat. She rolled her body to the left and popped her butt out.
Inuyasha couldn't stop watching,'why am I feeling the need to protect this girl, she's not Kagome… but… wait a minute… her face and eyes… no, it can't be. She wouldn't.' Inuyasha shook his head. Kagome turned around and drifted her hands down her legs as she squatted down to the ground.
After the song was done the crowd was in an uproar. Kagome picked up her money. Her scent hit Inuyasha's nose and he knew then for sure.
'It couldn't be… but that scent, its natural' Inuyasha looked at the girl's face closely. "K-Kagome?"

OUTSIDE, ACROSS THE STREET OF GOSHINKI'S.
A Man dressed in a black hoodie, with the hood covering up his face, looked at the sign that said, 'Goshinki's' in blinking yellow and purple neon lights.

"Hmmm, so this is the place you work at?" the guy said as he sauntered into the strip club.

Back inside Goshinki's

"K-Kagome?"
Kagome heard her name being called. She realized it was Inuyasha. She tried to brush past him, but he stopped her.

"Kagome..." Kagome interrupted him, "Inuyasha, don't start, okay." She said.

"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING!?" Inuyasha yelled.

"Inuyasha, now is not the time…" Kagome said.

"NOT... THE... TIME?! KAGOME, YOU ARE WORKING AS A STRIPPER! WHY! WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO YOURSELF?!" Inuyasha yelled again.
Kagome put a hand on her hip.

"Okay, first off, it's like I said, it's nobody's business! What I do with my own body just like what you do with your body, which also, isn't any of my business." Kagome growled.

"Yes, I know you work here too Inuyasha. I saw you come in yesterday,
but that's your business. I wouldn't ask why you are stripping. It's none of your business why I'm stripping, okay? So if you will excuse me, I need to get ready for my next dance." With that, Kagome walked away.
Michiko walked up to Kagome.

"Hey what was that about? I saw you and Inuyasha talking, do you two know each other?" Michiko asked. Kagome nodded.

"Yeah, he's my friend. We met yesterday at school. He's not too happy that I'm working here, but he works here too! So he's one to talk." Kagome said.

"You sure? You two aren't more than friends? He seems very protective of you Kags." Kagome shook her head.

"Honestly Michiko, I wish we were, but..." Kagome's voice trailed off.

"He wouldn't want to be with a worthless piece of trash like me." She stated.

"Kagome you are not worthless or trash." Michiko tried to talk some sense.

"I need to go change." Kagome walked away, leaving Michiko behind.
Michiko sighed as she thought, 'Kagome, I just wish I could help you in some way… I honestly think… No, I know you deserve better than working here and you also need someone to love… Everyone deserves love.' Michiko looked at Inuyasha and continued her thought, 'And I think Inuyasha is who you need in your life.'
Inuyasha was sitting with his head placed firmly in his hands. Inuyasha was so caught up in his musings that he didn't notice Michiko come up behind him. She placed a hand on his shoulder, making him jump.

"Hey Inu, you okay? You seem jumpy." She sounded concerned.

"Yeah I'm okay, I was just thinking and didn't hear or smell you coming, that's all." Inuyasha said.

"I heard you and Kagome arguing and I talked to her and asked her what that was about, she told me that it was just you being a protective friend. Honestly, by the way she said it, it made me think you two were more than friends?" She asked more than told him. Inuyasha blushed at her words.

"We're not, she's just a friend." He said.

"You know, she said that she wished that you two were more than friends but…" Michiko confessed.
Inuyasha looked at Michiko with wide eyes.

"But?" He asked.

"She said and I quote 'He wouldn't want to be with a worthless piece of trash like me.' She said it through clenched teeth.

"WHAT!?" Inuyasha yelled his question

"She is NOT WORTHLESS NOR IS SHE TRASH!" Inuyasha blurted.

"Trust me, I said the same thing to her, but she just said she had to go change and walked away," Michiko's said. She began to think about when she first met Kagome and had given her a job. Kagome had come here in need and Michiko couldn't turn her away. Now, even years from then, Kagome was still so empty. They had become friends overtime and she couldn't stand to see Kagome that way.

"Inuyasha, I may be your boss, but I am also Kagome's friend and all I got to say is that Kagome is a sweet girl that's lost her way. She's been through a LOT and I think you…" Her voice trailed off. When Kagome looked at him, there was hope.

"I think that you may actually, you know… I know that you are the only one that can help her, so please! Please, will you be there for her?" Michiko's eyes were tearing up. Inuyasha nodded.

"Of course, you don't have to worry about that, I am and I will always be there for her." Inuyasha said.
Michiko wiped her tears from her cheeks.

"Thank you." She said..

"I better go, you might want to get ready soon." Michiko said before she walked away to announce Raven back.

With Kagome

Kagome went into the dressing room and changed.

She knew that Inuyasha would freak as soon as he saw her in the outfit that she had picked out, but she couldn't put her life on hold for someone that didn't even want to be with her. She left the dressing room and waited for her stage name to be called.
When Michiko called her, the room filled with applause. She went on the stage.
When Inuyasha saw her, he couldn't be angry anymore. She looked so beautiful and sexy and… He hated the fact that other people could see her too.

'All these people are looking at her and they don't even really care about her. They don't know her, all they want is to fuck her and be done with it…' He wanted to look away, yet his eyes were glued to her. How could they not be when she looked like that? Once she reached the center of the stage, She began to dance.
Kagome slowly walked towards one of the poles on the stage. She grabbed the pole and slowly dipped down in time with the music. She came back up while looking at the crowd, but her eyes landed on Inuyasha.
Kagome spun around the pole.
Once Kagome finished spinning, she let go and walked to the crowd.
She placed both hands on her knees and bounced her bum up while flipping her hair over to the side of her face, her gaze never left Inuyasha.
Kagome stood up straight, her hands reached the first button of her dress. She undid it. She undid button after button until they were all undone. She took her dress fully off. Inuyasha's eyes went wide. He couldn't help but ogle her beautiful body again. He started glaring at all the guys that were eyeing her like a piece of meat. He was trying his damndest to control his temper,

'she is so gonna get an ear full after this!'
She began slowly touching herself while doing a hip roll. Inuyasha could see that her Latina and American side was coming out by the way she was moving those curvy hips of hers.

'Damn it, Kagome! Do you NOT realize what you are doing to me right now?' He thought.
She dropped to the ground, getting on all fours. She started slowly crawling towards the crowd. Her eyes drifted to a guy with a huge wad of cash.

"Dance for me baby, I want to see that ass shake!" He howled at her as he waved his wad of cash around for her to see.
Kagome turned herself so that the guy would have a better view.
She popped her booty up and down.
He stood up and pulled her waistline to her thong out a bit to stick the money snug in her waste-line before he smacked her ass.
Inuyasha's blood was boiling.
He would have a looong conversation about it with her later.
Kagome, was still on her hands and knees in front of that stupid guy, but she slowly got up and turned towards a pole again.
She grabbed it and pulled herself upwards, climbing it so that her feet no longer reached the floor.
Once she was high enough, she spun around it, lowering her body as she cascaded around the pole.
When she had descended enough, she landed in a split.
She moved her leg that pointed forwards to meet with the one behind her as she laid on her stomach, facing the crowd.
She rolled her body over, landing on her back.
Her head was set back so she could gaze at the crowd and again her eyes landed on Inuyasha.
She began thrusting her hips up and down.
Inuyasha was watching her hips move.
'Shit, I got it real bad, damn it, Kagome why?!' With her eyes still on Inuyasha, she touched her body in a tantalizing manner.
She then slowly got up.
She walked towards a chair that was on stage and grabbed it.
She sashayed around the chair before sitting.
She spread her legs and lowered her body.
She slowly came back up, drifting her hands against the top her legs.
Inuyasha's eyes were starting to glaze over.
He wanted her.
He wanted to make her his until the end of time.
He could feel his demon aching to get loose.

'STOP IT! WE ARE NOT DATING HER AND EVEN IF WE WERE, SHE IS NOT READY FOR THAT! AND AFTER ALL THE FUCKING SHIT SHE'S BEEN THROUGH WITH NARAKU AND NOW KOGA ALREADY, DO YOU REALLY THINK SHE'D BE READY ANY TIME SOON? HELL NO! SO SETTLE THE FUCK DOWN!' Inuyasha scolded.
He wanted Kagome to trust him.
He had to prove he wasn't like all the other guys.
Kagome slowly got up.
She turned the chair around so that the back faced her chest and she straddled it.
She then put both of her hands on the top of the backrest and jumped up into a crouched.
She started to move her hips side to side, popping her bum upwards with each sway.
She dipped down just as the song ended.
As she rose up, she held a provocative pose.
When the song was completely over, she grabbed her dress off of the floor along with any leftover money before walking down the steps.
Inuyasha got up and he looked towards the curtain before he started off after her.
He followed her scent backstage.
Unknown to them, someone had come in and watched Kagome dancing.
He found and tapped Michiko's shoulder.
She turned around.

"Oh, Hi. Welcome to Goshinki's. How may I help you?"

"Yes I would like a private lap dance from one of your female dancers?" the guy asked.

"Okay, who did you have in mind." Michiko got a bad vibe from this guy, but she shook it off.

"Who was that dancer that was just on stage?" Michiko shrugged before telling him, "That was Raven."

"Raven, huh? Is that her real name or just a stage name?" The guy asked.

"Stage name, we don't give out the dancers real names out, it's business and employee policy."

"Okay, I would like an hour with her." He handed her one grand.
Michiko nodded and told the guy to follow her. She said she will let 'Raven' know. Michiko led the stranger into an empty room, room twelve. She told him to take a seat before she left.

With Kagome and Inuyasha.
Inuyasha found Kagome in the back room."KAGOME!"
Kagome turned towards Inuyasha.

"What is it now Inuyasha? I want to get dressed and head back home." She muttered.
Before Inuyasha could talk, Michiko came up behind them.

"Sorry to interrupt, but Kagome, you have a private lap dance request waiting for you in room 12 and Inuyasha your on at 8:30 pm."
Kagome nodded as she put on her dress back on.

"Inuyasha, I'm sorry, but if you would excuse me... I have a private customer to attend to." She spoke solemnly and she brushed past him quickly.

"THIS DISCUSSION IS FAR FROM OVER KAGOME!" He yelled.
Michiko looked at Inuyasha, concern in her eyes.

"Inuyasha, go get dressed. You two can talk later, but right now, 'Dog Demon' is on in.."
Michiko looked at her watch and it read 8:20 pm.

"Ten minutes."
Michiko eyed the phone that hung on the wall.
She picked it up, off of the hook and dialed the Security Office.

"Keep an eye on the guy in room 12 with Kagome. He seems shady."

"Ten-four, over and out." The security officer replied.

With Inuyasha
Inuyasha spent what time he had left waiting to be announced.

Michiko went up and called out his stage name.
He climbed up the short flight of stairs and once the song started, so did he.
Inuyasha was facing the crowd. He rolled his hips from side to side with his hands down at his sides, his abs flexing with his movements. He did a body roll before he did a spin and stopped in the front before jumping.
Inuyasha took his jacket off and threw it to the side.
He ripped his shirt open and off. The ladies loved it. He rolled his body. Everyone was cheering loudly.
Inuyasha popped his chest and did a hip thrust. Inuyasha touched his sweaty body while rolling his hips.

With Kagome
Kagome walked into the room. She saw nobody there, but heard the door shut and lock. She squinted into the dark when she heard a voice.

"Hello, Ka-go-me."

"It's… You," Kagome's voice laced with fear.

**WARNING: RAPE AHEAD IF UNDERAGE OR UNCOMFORTABLE TURN BACK NOW.**
Kagome began to back up against the wall.

"Naraku W...Why… Are… You..." Before Kagome could say anything more, Naraku's voice cut in.

"Here? Well, I thought it would be nice if I came here to see you… And to get that lap dance I paid for."
Kagome was shaking with fear, but this was her job. She had to do what the client wanted and sadly, Naraku was indeed a client.

"Have a seat then," Kagome said. Naraku smirked.

"Can you dance to that song you were just dancing to on stage?" He asked.

"Sure." She bit out between her teeth. She was pissed. She had dedicated that song to Inuyasha and to Inuyasha.
With a feeling of defeat, she turned on the music. Once it started, she began to move.

My body is your party, baby
Kagome slowly walked over to Naraku and sat on his lap.

Nobody's invited but you, baby
She slowly moved her hips, swinging her hair and she felt Naraku's hand going up her curves. She slapped his hands away. "Clients can't touch the dancer."

I can do it slow now, tell me what you want

"Oh, my sweet sweet Kagome, You really think I came here for just a lap dance?" Kagome saw his smirk. She went to scramble off of him, but Naraku picked her up and threw her on the leather couch. Naraku walked to where she landed. He straddled her hips. He began kissing, nibbling and licking her neck.

"GET OFF ME!" Kagome tried to push him off, but he used a burst of his tentacles to wrap around her wrists and hold her down.

Baby, put your phone down, you should turn it off

"No way, I spent one grand for an hour and I'm gonna use that time to have some fun with you." Naraku's left hand went under Kagome's dress. He cupped her vagina. She started to struggle, but he wouldn't budge.
His fingers quickly found what he was looking for and he started to rub her clit vigorously.

"I really have missed your tight pussy Kagome."

Cause tonight is going down, tell your boys is going down
Kagome began to struggle harder.
"STOP! GET OFF ME! SOMEONE?! ANYONE?! HELP!" She screamed out.

We in the zone now, don't stop
Naraku grabbed her neck with his other hand.
"I suggest that you be quiet and let me do what I want or I will hurt Inuyasha and let's just say that it wouldn't be the first time either."
You can keep your hands on me, touch me right there, rock my body
Naraku shoved three figures inside of her. He began thrusting them fast. It caused her to bleed. She gasped in pain, tears began to form in her eyes as she tried to get away.
"PLEASE! STOP, STOP, STOP IT!"

I can't keep my hands off you, your body is my party
Naraku laughed evilly and let go of her neck. He pulled a knife out.

I'm doing this little dance for you
"STOP IT! PLEASE, NARAKU STOP!" Kagome sobbed. Naraku cut her dress down in the middle.

You got me so excited
He stuck his fingers underneath Kagome's bra and lifted it to reveal her breasts to him. Kagome couldn't stop sobbing or struggling, but she went silent when she felt a mess of tentacles wrapped around the entirety of her body. Naraku took his fingers out of her, only to replace it with tentacles.
A silent scream was held in the back of her throat.

It came out in a scream when she felt another tentacle shoved up her asshole.
Just as her screams were about to pick up, tentacles were jammed down her throat. Kagome tried to scream, but couldn't.

Now it's just me on you
In all of her holes, tentacles went in and out.

"NO..! PLEASE..! TAKE..! THEM..! OUT..! TAKE THEM OUT! THEY..! HURT! STOP!" Kagome thrashed and sobbed. Kagome kept screaming for him to stop, but she had to gasp for breath to keep from suffocating.
"YOU'RE..! HURTING..! ME..! SOMEONE! PLEASE! HELP! HELP ME!"

With Inuyasha.
Inuyasha had just finished his dance and was going on break. He went to find Kagome, but couldn't find her anywhere. He followed his nose until he heard a scream.

"NO..! PLEASE..! TAKE..! THEM..! OUT..! TAKE THEM OUT!, THEY..! HURT! STOP! YOU'RE..! HURTING..! ME..! SOMEONE! PLEASE! HELP! HELP ME!"
He knew that was Kagome.

'FUCK THAT'S KAGOME!' Inuyasha thought, he ran towards the room that the screaming and crying was coming from.
'HOLD ON KAGOME I'M COMING!.' Inuyasha thought.
'Whoever is touching her is going to die! I WILL FUCKING PAINT THE WALLS RED WITH THE SICKO'S BLOOD!'

Back with Kagome and Naraku.
You got me so excited

Kagome kept struggling and sobbing.
Now it's just me on you
Naraku's hands wandered down to grip her ass hard. She knew everything would be bruised.
Your body's my party, let's get it started
"That's right Kagome, keep fighting, I like how feisty you get."
He unzipped his pants. He took his tentacles out of her mouth so he could hear her pained cries.
Boy, you should know that your love is always on my mind
"NO PLEASE! DON'T!" Kagome screamed.
"How do you want it Kagome? In the pussy? In the ass? I bet you want it in your ass, my nice big cock in your tight, little—"
I'm not gonna fight it, I want it all the time
Naraku took his tentacles out of Kagome's asshole, but left the ones jamming in and out of her. He was about to enter her, but Kagome began to glow pink.
Boy you should know that your love is always on my mind
"NO! I SAID NO!" He was blasted off of her by a blinding light. He hit the wall, hard.

I can't deny it, I want you, I want you
Kagome hurried out of the room. She turned her head back to see if Naraku was following her just before she bumped right into Inuyasha.
He was shocked; her dress was ripped and bruises were everywhere on her body. Blood dripped down her thighs. She was visibly shaking.

"KAGOME WHAT THE…? WHO THE FUCK DID THIS TO YOU?!"
Kagome didn't say anything. She wept as she hugged Inuyasha.
Inuyasha stopped asking questions.. That isn't what she needed right now. Instead, he held her and let her cry. A growl escaped his lips.
"I can smell Naraku all over you..." He snarled out.
"Inuyasha, please, I don't want to talk about it... please." Kagome sobbed.
"Kagome… Did he…?" Kagome yelled out to cut him off.
"INUYASHA, JUST STOP IT! PLEASE, I TOLD YOU, I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT! I JUST WANT TO CHANGE AND HEAD HOME PLEASE!"
Inuyasha felt discontent with the words she had expressed... Inuyasha knew that Narakuhad raped her.
"Fine, go change, but if you think I'm gonna let you walk home by yourself then you got me all fucked up. You will wait until my last dance so we can walk together. We will head to Sango's, okay?" He told her more than asked.
"Inuyasha…" Kagome tried to dismiss him."YOU... ARE…. NOT... WALKING…. BY... YOURSELF…. KAGOME... GOT IT?!"
Kagome and nodded.
"Go change and wait by the bar until I'm done, okay?"
Kagome nodded again and headed to the dressing room, but Inuyasha's voice stopped her.
"Kagome, remember, we are not finished with that talk, alright."
"I know Inuyasha, I know," Kagome said. She was in so much pain. Every move she made caused searing pain to run through her body. The worst was down there. It was unbearable. She left the dressing room and when the hanyou saw her limping, he knew she was in extreme pain. He thought angrily to himself.
'DAMN IT, DAMN IT! THIS IS WHY I DIDN'T WANT THIS FOR HER! FUCKING PERVERTS AND LOOK WHAT FUCKING HAPPENED TONIGHT! NARAKU FUCKING… HE FUCKING… KAMI DAMN IT. I SHOULD HAVE STOPPED IT FROM HAPPENING! SHIT, SHIT, SHIT! KAGOME SHOULDN'T HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS SHIT, THAT BASTARD HAS CAUSED HER ENOUGH PAIN! Fuck, times like this, I wish I was eighteen and had my inheritance, then I could take care of Kagome. I would protect her, love and cherish her. But with Naraku still in the way and the other animals that have caused Kagome's suffering, she won't want that anytime soon'
Inuyasha was at a loss, he wanted to be with Kagome so badly, but he knew that because of what Naraku had done to her, Kagome wouldn't be ready for any romantic relationship anytime looked at his watch. it was almost time. Before going on for his performance, he thought to himself, 'Kagome's probably gonna be watching… I just hope she doesn't think less of me. But she probably thinks that I think less of her, but… I don't and I'm not gonna lie, but she did do a hell of a nice job with her dance… The way she moved her hips and… UGH! DAMN IT, STOP IT! KAGOME SHOULDN'T BE DOING THIS AT ALL, But... it's not her fault, it's what happened to her that's caused this. Naraku and his lackeys will pay for this... DEARLY!'
WITH KAGOME.
"Hey, Kags. Oh, I like your haircut." A male bartender said. His red hair was pulled up in a ponytail, he had deep green eyes, and he was skinny. "Thank you, Shippo," Kagome said."What can I get ya, that isn't alcoholic?" Shippo asked.
"Shippo, please." Kagome pleaded with him.
Shippo just gave her a look but sighed. He was against any underaged drinking, he could lose his job because of this. At the same time, he knew something bad had happened to her. "Fine, what will it be?" He questioned.
"The strongest sake you got, the more robust, the better." She said.
"Please?" Kagome requested. He let out another sigh and turned to the liquor shelf.
"Give it up for Dog demon." Kagome's head snapped around when she heard Michiko's voice call out Inuyasha's stage name.
"Dog demon, huh?" Kagome muttered. She watched the hanyou go up the steps to the stage. On the stage, his back was facing the crowd. His hair was pulled up into a high ponytail. He looked damn sexy. The music began and with it came his first moves. He started out slow and sexy. Kagome couldn't take her eyes off of him.
Inuyasha put his hands behind his head and started snaking his back. Kagome found she liked looking at him dance, but she wanted to rip out every other person's throat who dared to look at him. Why did she feel so jealous? Why did she even care so much? However, deep down, she knew she cared about him so much, that her spirits would lift. She wanted to be with him… A lot.
Inuyasha turned his head to gaze dreamily at the crowd. His body followed his head in the rest of the turn.
"Here, Kags. Hello?" Kagome turned back to the bar and there was Shippo with her drink.
"Are you okay, I tried telling you your drink was ready like three times." He explained.
"I'm fine… Thank you, Shippo." She took a sip.
"Is this Genshu?" She questioned.
"It's the strongest we got, but you shouldn't be drinking in the first place lil missy…" Shippo said. He nodded a goodbye to Kagome and left to tend to the other customers.
Kagome turned back to see the stage. She watched Inuyasha strut across the stage and he flexed his muscles. He tore his shirt off. If Kagome wasn't hot and bothered with him before, she sure was now. His abs and his chest were glistening with oil and sweat. 'DAMN IT! KAMI WHY? WHY MUST YOU TORTURE ME LIKE THIS?' She questioned in her mind.
Inuyasha went onto the ground to grind slowly. The women and men were throwing money like hell and catcalls were being whistled all over the place.
Kagome could feel the anger boiling up again, but she pushed it down. She had no to be mad. Girl you know I, girl you know I, I been feenin'
Kagome kept watching Inuyasha dance around on the stage. Kami-damn! Watching Inuyasha dance for the first time was making her feel wild. She was sorely reminded of what Naraku had done to her three years ago… She didn't want Inuyasha to suffer because of her. He deserved someone way better than that.
Inuyasha walked towards a chair.
He sat on the chair and thrusted a few times. Kagome took a huge swig of her drink.
Michiko saw Kagome. "Kagome, are you okay?" She asked once she reached her.
"I'm fine," Kagome said.
"You sure? What happened with that client?" Michiko asked
"He got a little handsy, he should still be in the room knocked out," Kagome said
"Michiko... Please, just don't worry about it, okay?" Kagome tried to assure.
"Kagome I am gonna worry about it! What did that bastard do to you?!" Michiko demanded.
Kagome downed her sake before slamming her cup down. She didn't want to talk about this.
"You don't want to know, okay."
"Kagome… Did he?" Michiko was almost in tears.
"Let's just say… He didn't use his fucking dick and leave it at that." Kagome mumbled. She waved her hand at Shippo to get his attention.
"Shippo, another one!" She called and gave her a look that said 'Let me finish with these customers'.
"I'm gonna go get Jin and have him check if the bastard is still there and don't worry Kagome, that bastard won't be coming back, I'll make sure of it," Michiko said with an angry voice before she left.
Kagome scoffed, 'yeah good luck with that Michiko.'
Shippo refilled her cup.
He grabbed the bottle and uncapped it before he began to pour.
"Thanks, Shippo," Kagome said.
Kagome let her eyes drift back to Inuyasha and she watched as he finished up his dance.
Inuyasha grabbed the pole and started grinding against it.
The women and men were loving it.
'Is this how Inuyasha felt when I was dancing and the guys were cheering me on? Well, now that I think about it, he looked like he wanted to kill that one guy that smacked my ass, so I guess I'm not the only one that got jealous tonight... But still! We shouldn't be mad at each other. We're both working here and we aren't together, so there is no reason to be mad, no reason at all.'
Kagome turned away and chugged the rest of her drink.
After the song was done, so was Inuyasha.
He exited the stage and began towards the dressing rooms.
When he came back out, Inuyasha was changed and went to the bar to find Kagome.
"You ready?"
Kagome nodded and began to stand up, but she wobbled.
Inuyasha caught her.
"Careful or I would think you've been drinking…"
He saw that her eyes were lighter, just like this morning.
"Wait… Kagome, please tell me that you haven't been drinking again?" He took a sniff and growled.
"Damn it! You have been drinking again. Shit, hold on, I'm calling a cab, you're crashing at my place tonight." He said as he grabbed his phone out of his pocket.
"Inuyasha, I'm fine." Kagome's said.
"Kagome, you are too damn wasted to go back to Sango's, so I don't want to hear it lil missy." Inuyasha's said. He brought his phone to his ear.
"Hello? Yes, I would like to request a cab? Yes, my friend and I need a ride from Goshinki's. Well, she's been drinking. No, I'm fine. I can't take her, because I don't have a car right now and it's too far for us to walk. No, she will not be going in the taxi by herself, I am riding with her."

Inuyasha took a look at her choice of clothing. She looked like a sexy vampire vixen.
'Yeah, like I'm gonna let her go anywhere by herself dressed like that, Kags you are just too damn gorgeous for your own damn good.'
"Yes, I'm still here, yes we are at Goshinki's, yes the strip club, yes, okay, we will be waiting, okay, thank you, bye." Inuyasha hung up. He grabbed Kagome by the waist and mentally shook his head.
'Kami help me! Protect this gorgeous girl in my arms, cause we both know that I'm gonna need it.' They both walked outside and found an empty bench. As they waited, they watched all sorts of people walk by. One white dumbass tiger demon decided to get a little bit too close.
"Yo shawty, how bouts you ditch dis puppy, and come wif me? I can show ya a real good time, if ya know what I mean," He stated while looking at Kagome. Inuyasha's eyes were flashing back and forth from red to gold. When the tiger demon saw that, he said "Fuck dat!" and ran. Inuyasha yelled out at the coward.
"YEAH! YOU BETTER RUN YOU FUCKING PEDOPHILE!"
Inuyasha looked down at Kagome's appearance again.
'She is so NOT wearing this outfit again. Kami, damn it, I swear Kagome! You are gonna be the death of me.'
He thought to himself.
Her head kept falling and she would sit up quickly, awake, only to drift off again and again.
"Hey, Kagome, you can sleep for a moment if you want to."
Inuyasha said.
"But, what about the taxi?" She questioned.
"Well, of course, I'll wake ya up for that." He explained.
Kagome nodded.
"Here, get comfy Kagome," Inuyasha stated.
"I can't get comfy that way." Inuyasha frowned at her words.
"Do you think I could… Could I lay my head on your lap?" She questioned. Inuyasha patted his lap. Kagome laid her head on Inuyasha's lap before closing her what seemed like an hour, their cab pulled up in front of them. Just as Inuyasha had promised, he shook Kagome awake.
"Hey, the taxi's here." He said.
Kagome nodded her reply and got up. She was dizzy. She let Inuyasha guide her into the cab.
WITH NARAKU.
'Ugh, my head.` Naraku finally woke up.
"Damn it, I wasn't expecting her to use her new powers yet. Maybe I should've waited until Kikyou made that potion." He let his hand rub a bump on his head.
"Stupid little whore can't get away forever." He smirked at that.
"Soon enough, she'll be mine again and all that she'll have to comfort her will be her screams of torment." His smile widened before he couldn't help his chuckle.

Flashback
With Kikyou, Yura, And Kagura.
"Ugh! Where is he?" Yura complained.

"Patience Yura, you know how Naraku is," Kikyou said.
"Yeah, so just chill and relax your pacing! It's driving us crazy,"
Kagura said. Yura stopped.
"Sorry" She said. After twenty minutes, Naraku showed up.
"Naraku, what happened to you?
"Yeah, you look like crap," Yura said.
"Ha ha, laugh it up you two, laugh… it… up, " Naraku said.
"You were right, you do look like an eighties reject."
All three wenches began laughing.
"Alright, alright. I get it, I look stupid. I have my affectionate little vixen to thank for that," Naraku said.
"She really must be powerful if she managed to do this to you," Yura said.
"SHE IS NOT THAT POWERFUL!" Kikyou screeched.
"Well, apparently, she is." Kagura snorted.
"Or she wouldn't have cooked up an order of fried Naraku with a side of crispy purification." Yura finished.
"So, I COULD DO THAT ALSO, SO THAT DOESN'T MEAN SHE'S ALL THAT POWERFUL!" Kikyou yelled.
"It doesn't matter right now, she's just discovering her powers now, so I rather NOT find out what else she is capable of. So Kikyou would you make a potion to seal her powers? I would like to fuck her brains out and that wolf demon, Koga, would like a go at her too. We find that we do not like being burned to a crisp." Naraku said.
"I can see what I can do, but it might take a day or two, I'll text you when it's done."
"Good, see that you get going at it today," Naraku said.
End of flashback
Back with Naraku
'Kikyou, you better be done with that potion and soon.' Naraku thought. He heard someone coming and not wanting to stick around for much longer, he snapped his fingers and disappeared.
Michiko couldn't find Jin the security guard, so she decided to confront the bastard herself. She threw open the door, but was met with only an empty room.
"SHIT! HE'S GONE!" Michiko yelled. Michiko saw Kagome's phone and it was still playing music.
"Kagome left her phone here, I'll have to give it back to her tomorrow when she comes in." she turned it off so it wouldn't die.
Back with Kagome and Inuyasha
It was now 12am. Inuyasha and Kagome finally arrived at his Apartment complex and Inuyasha got out and helped Kagome out. Inuyasha unlocked his front door and opened it. He helped Kagome into the room. Kagome then said Thank you to Inuyasha as she steadied herself.

Inuyasha replied by saying you're welcome. Nikki came running and tackled Inuyasha to the floor.
"Okay, Nikki, okay, off please." Nikki listened to Inuyasha's command and sat down. Nikki started sniffing Kagome. Kagome looked down and smiled at the beautiful husky mix. she bent down and began petting Nikki on the head.
"Well, aren't you just a gorgeous little lady. Yes you are! Yes you are!"
Nikki cocked her head, something told her that she was gonna like this girl.
Inuyasha then introduced Kagome to Nikki.
Inuyasha commanded Nikki to go to bed, and Nikki did just that. Inuyasha then turned to Kagome.
He gestured towards his couch.
Kagome limped over and took a seat.
Inuyasha grabbed two glasses of water. Inuyasha began walking over to Kagome and offered her one of the glasses."Do you have any… um… you know?"
"Liquor?" Inuyasha asked with disappointment.
"Sorry Kags, but I don't and even if I did, I think you've had enough to drink for tonight, don't you think?" Inuyasha said in all seriousness while taking sips of his glass of ice cold water.
Kagome asked if it was okay if she smoked in here
"Sure go for it," he handed her Sesshomaru's dog bone shaped ashtray.
"Nice ashtray." She lit a cigarette.
Inuyasha thanked Kagome and told her that it's his big brother's and that he's a cigar kind of guy and that he visits whenever he's in town" Inuyasha said.
Kagome nodded.
"Kagome, we still need to talk about tonight."
"Like?" She questioned.
"Like first of all, WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU A STRIPPER?!"
Kagome took another drag on her cigarette.
"Inuyasha, how many times do I have to say this? It isn't any of your business as to why I'm a stripper, just like it isn't any of my business why you're stripping too. I'm not yours and your not mine, we're not a couple, we're friends, nothing more."
Inuyasha caught the disappointment in her voice.
"And besides, you can't tell me that you didn't enjoy it like every other male that comes in there," Kagome said hotly.
"Hell, even the girls cheer for me. They all like what they see, don't you?" Kagome said.
"I'm not gonna lie, but I did get… turned on." Inuyasha confessed.
"See," Kagome said.
"But that doesn't mean I like other guys looking at you! They look at you like a piece of meat. I don't think I could stand it, having some random bastard touching or hitting your ass. I was 'this' close to fucking killing that one guy Kagome!" Inuyasha said.
"I'M FUCKING USED TO IT, OKAY! I'M FUCKING USED TO MEN USING ME! BEATING ME! FUCKING ME OVER AND OVER AGAIN! I'M USED TO IT ALL! YOU AREN'T EVEN SUPPOSED TO KNOW THIS, BUT NARAKU RAPED AND TORTURED ME WHEN I WAS THIRTEEN AND AFTER HE WAS DONE, HE HAD HIS BUDDIES TAKE A TURN! AND BECAUSE OF HIM AND THE OTHER BASTARDS, I WAS KICKED OUT OF MY MOMS HOUSE. SHE AND MY GRANDFATHER SAID, 'THAT THEY DIDN'T WANT A WHORE LIVING IN THE HOUSE!' THEY FUCKING BLAMED ME FOR LETTING IT HAPPEN AND YOU KNOW WHAT!? THEY'RE RIGHT, I SHOULD'VE FOUGHT HARDER!" Inuyasha was about to yell something until Kagome continued on.
"I was fucking homeless, and of course I had Shadow with me, I was doing everything for us to survive until I crashed with my big bro. Remember when I told you, Miroku, and Sango that Sota wasn't the only one with a drug problem?"
Kagome looked up at Inuyasha and saw him nod.
"I'm a fucking dope fiend." She muttered.
"I didn't even want to be... You see… That guy, Desker... He was my boyfriend and I… I was desperate about finding someone to love me. After everything, I just wanted someone to care about me, someone who thought I was more than a fuck toy." A bitter laugh escaped her lips.
"Me being thirteen at the time... I fell for Desker. Hard." Inuyasha was shocked, to say the least.
"I know it's hard to believe, right? but like I said, I was thirteen and he was twenty-five at the time…"
"TWENTY-FIVE!? THAT FUCKER WAS TWENTY-FIVE!?" Inuyasha yelled.
"Sota never knew about Desker and I, until yesterday when Desker opened his big fucking mouth and Sota beat him to a bloody pulp. Of course, Sota already knows about me being raped, but I left out the part about being tortured and gang-raped. I didn't want him to go to prison for murder, ya know."
"Yeah," Inuyasha said.
"The one thing about Desker is that…" Kagome took in a shaky breath. "Desker is just as bad as Naraku… he likes… doing things… hard… fast… and… rough…" Kagome took a breather for a moment and thought to herself, 'Damn, this is hard, but I have to let this all out and Inuyasha is the only guy I can trust… I just hope he doesn't find me disgusting after I'm done telling him all of this.' Kagome finally got her composure back and continued, "He took me to his room, which was down in the basement. When we got down there, I saw chains, whips, handcuffs, ropes, swings, you name it, it was there. He has a thing for BDSM."
Inuyasha was even more shocked.
"K-Kagome…" He stuttered.
"I asked him what all this was, and he said 'BDSM or S&M, whatever you want to call it'. He said that I would enjoy it.
I was scared, I didn't want to do it, but… before I could do or say anything, he grabbed me… The next thing I knew, my wrists were tied above the headrest of his bed… It was so uncomfortable and the mattress was fucking up my back… He started to… touch… my breasts… I screamed for him to stop… I… tried screaming for my brother, but the basement was soundproof… I started panicking… there I was, not thinking again. I thought Desker loved me, but… I was wrong, I tried getting loose, but I couldn't get the ropes off… they were so tight that the circulation to my wrists was going numb. I began sobbing… I never wanted to be apart of something like that. I kept thrashing and freaking out more until Desker injected me with Heroin. He said 'This should help you relax' I protested, screaming, yelling but once he injected it inside my right arm I felt heavy, I couldn't move a single muscle, I couldn't do anything except whimper and cry. Everything he did… my body reacted and in my mind, I didn't want this. I couldn't scream for him to stop… I could..still… feel what he was doing to me… I wanted him to stop… but I couldn't get the words out." Kagome's voice was shaking but she continued. "I...felt...him...go...inside…me...he...was...bigger…he…was...ripping...me...apart…I...tried...screaming…for...him...to...stop...but...I...couldn't...get...it...out...I...just...sobbed...and whimpered...I...was..hurting...and...he didn't care...he...just...kept" Kagome had to stop.
"After hours he was done… I could finally move so as quickly as I could… regarding the pain, I was in… I got dressed… he asked me how I liked the sex… and I screamed out I hate you towards his face. I ran out of there on shaky legs… I could still hear him laughing… and the Heroin was still getting out of my system, thank kami. I ran upstairs into my room and cried myself to sleep, the next day I went to find a job and found Goshinkis', it was an open interview and I went in. Michiko interviewed me and hired me, I started working right away, I worked as a waitress, and after work, I walked home and when I walked inside the house… Desker was there… he slammed me to the wall and began ripping my shirt off… I begged him to stop… he slapped me and then said and I quote 'why should I stop when I have my own personal...Sex slave…and...prostitute" Inuyasha was fuming and thought to himself 'Kagome's been through worse than what my ex's put me through granted yes they did beat me, used me, and raped me, but they never did anything like this, I swear to Kami the next time I see him he is going to pay dearly, along with Naraku, Koga, and all the other fucking sickos that have done Kagome wrong!' Inuyasha got out of his thoughts when he heard Kagome continue.
"Everyday and night Dasker would take me down in the basement, dope me up on heroin which I was slowly getting addicted to and… he would have his sick way with me… or… he would have his friends pay for a 'test fuck' as they called it and I hated it… I… HATED… HIM… I still hate him. I started smoking cigarettes and drinking just to forget about Desker and the clients touching me… and because of him, my flashbacks of what Naraku and his friends did to me all came flooding back tenfold. He's the other reason why I don't do well with guys, they're all the fucking same… sex this… sex that… hey, baby lets fuck… and I'm sick of it and the only guy I trust is you Inuyasha."
Inuyasha was now beyond pissed, but something really baffled him, 'Where was Sota and Shadow?'
"But wait, where was Sota the whole time? And Shadow?" Inuyasha questioned.
"Well, Desker made a lot of money off of me, ya know. From letting his friends take turns and then sometimes he'd steal my money from work… For Sota's birthday, he got him onto a cruise. Can you believe that? Sota was on vacation and Desker was home, doing all those things to me… He even promised Sota to look out for me… But I don't blame Sota, I don't even want him to know. They were best friends… And Shadow… I feel so horrible. He was at home, cooped up inside his cage, but I couldn't do anything. He would threaten me and threaten to hurt Shadow. What's worse, Shadow getting hurt or being cooped up inside his cage?" Kagome choked on tears for a second.
"and then last year which will be two years ago since I do turn sixteen this Friday, but anyway they began losing dancers and asked me if I wanted to be a part-time stripper. I thought to myself why the hell not, my dignity is already gone might as well, right? So at the age of fourteen, I began stripping part time. The money came rolling in. Deskers words still rang in my head and that's when I knew that, that was all I was good for. I continued on being a stripper until a month ago when I moved in with Sango and her family, whom I have known since I was a kid but that's a different story for another day. So anyway, I told Desker that we were over and left. He couldn't find me which is fine by me. Sango's parents got me back in school… but it doesn't change the fact that I'm a whore just like my mother, grandfather, Naraku, and others have said. And that no guy would want to be with me or love me..I mean Why would they… I'm used goods… ALL BECAUSE I WAS FUCKING RAPED BY NARAKU AND HIS FRIENDS!"
Kagome stood up and threw the empty glass of water at the wall.
"you probably think I'm disgusting, don't you?" She questioned.
"Kagome you are not disgusting, you're letting it out and that's good, and also YOU… ARE… NOT A WHORE! And as for Desker, for what that fucker did to you and calling you his personal sex slave and prositute , lets just say, that the next time I see him, he won't be walking or talking," Inuyasha growled out.
"or fucking breathing for that matter." He added.
"And also any guy would love to be with you, to take care of you, and to protect you."
'hell, let me be that guy, let me love and take care of you, let me protect you... Kagome please!'
Inuyasha finished that thought and continued saying,
"I know how you feel, your not alone Kagome"
After hearing that, Kagome snapped.
"WHAT THE FUCK WOULD YOU KNOW?! YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THE FUCK IT'S LIKE BEING FUCKING USED FOR YOUR BODY, YOU FUCKING DON'T KNOW WHAT IT'S FUCKING LIKE BEING TIED DOWN AND HAVING SICK ASS PERVERTED MEN DEFILING YOU OVER AND FUCKING OVER AGAIN, YOU FUCKING DON'T KNOW WHAT IT'S FUCKING LIKE HAVING THINGS INSIDE YOU THAT YOU DON'T WANT INSIDE YOU OR SHOULDN'T EVEN BE INSIDE YOU, OR FUCKING BEING DRUGGED AND HAVING YOUR DAMN BODY BETRAY YOU, YOU DON'T EVEN FUCKING KNOW OR HAVE TO FUCKING WORRY ABOUT BEING FUCKING PREGNANT WITH ONE OF YOUR MOTHER FUCKING RAPISTS BABIES, YOU DON'T KNOW FUCKING SHIT!"
Inuyasha looked at Kagome with wide eyes and stuttered out.
"Y-you w-were p-p-pregn-nant!"
Kagome nodded,
"I was six weeks, but because of Desker, I ended up having a miscarrage... Although It was probably for the best since I don't believe in abortion, but If I were to have the baby, I would've put it up for adoption to give it a better life with a great family, better than with a fuck up like me."
"Kagome, you are not a fuck up, okay? Granted, yes you were raped and tortured repeatedly." Inuyasha clenched his fists and growled, but continued,
"but that doesn't make you a fuck up. It's Naraku and all the other mother fuckers that did all this to you that are fucked up." Inuyasha took a deep breath and continued on saying,
"But you are right about one thing though."
"And what would that be?" She asked.
"I don't know what it's like being pregnant, no male does but… I do know what it's like being used for sex." Kagome was about to ask what he meant until he continued.
"Naraku is a FUCKING sick bastard, he doesn't know the words 'no' or 'stop'. He just keeps doing what he wants, like he owns you, and for your 'so called' mother and grandfather to blame you for it happening, they must be on some type of bullshit for them to EVEN THINK that. It was NOT your fault, you didn't ask for it to happen, you didn't ask for him to violate you, you didn't ask for any of it." Inuyasha's voice seemed far away.
"Inuyasha, I have a question and I want you to be honest with me like I have been with you."
Inuyasha nodded.
"Inuyasha, Naraku said something about hurting you, and that it wasn't the first time, I want to know what did he mean by that?"
Kagome saw that Inuyasha's body got more tense."Kagome, maybe we should just go to bed, we do have school in the morning." He tried to deflect the question.
"Inuyasha did Naraku… Do something to you?"
Inuyasha got up quickly.
"Like I said Kagome… I know what you're going through, I know what it feels like to be used as a fucking sex toy," he growled out.
"Inuyasha did Naraku… Did he rape you too?" She didn't want it to be true. "DAMN IT INUYASHA! PLEASE TELL ME! DID THAT BASTARD RAPE YOU TO!?"
"YES!" Inuyasha turned to look her in the eyes and she saw tears coming down his face.

now

'No, not Inuyasha, please no. THAT FUCKING SICK BASTARD! HE… OH MY KAMI.' Kagome began sobbing into her hands.

"When... did... he?" She questioned, her voice breaking.

"Kagome, I don't want to talk about it, okay? Now get some sleep, its late and we have to be up in six more hours." Inuyasha said as he wiped away his tears.

"Inuyasha…" Kagome tried to say, but Inuyasha stopped her by pressing his index finger to her lips.

"Goodnight Kagome." Inuyasha bid her before he walked into his room. Kagome stared at the light that filtered out for a few moments before he turned it off. He really did go to bed.
Kagome couldn't sleep just yet though. Her mind was kept up with her intrusive thoughts...

'Oh, Inuyasha I wish you would open up to me like I can with you.' With that thought, she went to the couch and laid down. She turned to one side and then the other before laying on her back. She let out a sigh as she pulled a big red blanket over herself. She closed her eyes and finally let sleep consume her.

Dream/nightmare

Kagome was walking down the sidewalk. She came to an abrupt halt when she heard a familiar voice.

"Hello, Kagome."

"N-Naraku? Where are you!? Come out, I SAID, COME OUT, YOU COWARD!" Kagome shouted out, her voice losing that weakness. For the first time in a long time, she wasn't scared of this monster that had taken away her innocence and corrupted her nightmares. She didn't know if it was because she was in a dream or what, but she was ready for a fight.

"Kukuku. Oh! But Kagome, I have something to show you. It's Inuyasha!" Naraku's evil chuckle made Kagome stiffen.

"Don't you want to know how I broke him as a man?" He questioned with a nefarious tone.
Before Kagome could say anything, she could feel herself being dragged into the walkway. He pulled her so hard that she was knocked off her feet and her knees scraped harshly against the concrete. She tried to struggle out of his grasp, but she couldn't break free. Finally, he stopped. She felt Naraku let his hold of her go and she crashed forward to the ground. She slowly pulled herself up.

"Where am I?" just as she said those words, she saw Inuyasha in front of her, his human form. He was tied up and almost completely naked other than his pants and boxers that were around his ankles. Kagome heard some woman's voice began to speak.

"He's all yours Naraku." The woman who spoke and three other women who had stood around Inuyasha left.
The next thing Kagome knew, Naraku materialized, seemingly from thin air. She covered her mouth to hold back a gasp. She watched as he smirked at her before his cold eyes turned to Inuyasha. His foot came off the ground quickly and went forward, kicking Inuyasha's back so that he fell to the ground. Naraku started unzipping his pants. He started to chuckle. It was all happening so fast.

"SHIT NO! PLEASE, DON-! GAH!" Naraku shoved his dick up inside Inuyasha, not bothering with lubrication or anything that might make the pain any less. Kagome watched on in horror as tears began to form in the corners of her eyes.
Naraku rammed into Inuyasha so hard and so fast that Kagome started to shake. Her tears rolled freely down her cheeks.
It was the same pain that the BASTARD had put her through. She had been in pain for weeks after the incident. She remembered how painful even walking had been. Seeing this monster doing the horrible things to Inuyasha made something inside of her snap.

"STOP! STOP! STOP! I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANYMORE PLEASE NO MORE!" Inuyasha sobbed out. His agonizing cries drove Kagome to madness. She couldn't stand to hear his screams, his cries, his tormented pleads. Kagome couldn't hold in her own sobs anymore as she held her head in her hands and yelled out in her lament.

"NARAKU, DAMN YOU TO HELL! WHY!? WHY DID YOU DO THIS TO HIM? ANSWER ME!" Kagome yelled out.

"Shut it half-breed! You are in no position to tell me to stop. I'll stop when I please. Once I get bored with you, it will be much worse, so be a good puppy and mind your manners." Naraku said while pounding into Inuyasha

"GET ME OUT OF HERE NARAKU, I DON'T WANT TO SEE ANYMORE, PLEASE! MAKE IT STOP!" Kagome screamed, still holding her head with her eyes tightly closed.
Naraku didn't adhere to her request, instead, he just kept pounding into Inuyasha, blood ran down his legs and his screams of agony faded into the night sky.
Two hours! For two hours, Inuyasha had to endure this misery. Finally, Naraku slammed into him several times before being done. He pulled his blood and cum slickened cock from the hanyou, but it didn't help the pain that still shook through Inuyasha's body.
The sun was about to rise, so Naraku disappeared with the night.

"Kukuku, You know Kagome, Inuyasha just has such an amazing, fuckable little ass. I might just have some fun with him again." Naraku said while chuckling evilly.

"DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH HIM AGAIN! DO YOU HEAR ME!? HE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS, SO LEAVE HIM ALONE! I'LL DO ANYTHING! IF YOU WOULD JUST LEAVE INUYASHA ALONE! Please..." Her voice trailed off. Naraku took her appearance in with his eyes. She looked so desperate and afraid, just the way he liked. He laughed evilly once more before he disappeared. Kagome could hear his laugh linger in the air before it too vanished.

Back in Inuyasha's Apartment

Kagome shot up with a hard intake of air. She couldn't help breathing hard, her body trembled as tears flooded her eyes. She opened her mouth, but the only noise that came out was a wail. She couldn't stop sobbing from the nightmare she had woken up from. What a horrible sight she had witnessed. Naraku had been raping Inuyasha while he was in his human form.

'Why? Why Inuyasha? He didn't do shit to that bastard and he still raped Inu when he was human… it's not fair… IT'S NOT FAIR! INUYASHA DIDN'T DO NOTHING TO NARAKU, SO WHY!?' With that angry thought, Kagome continued sobbing. She would protect Inuyasha with her life, even if it meant that she'd have to give herself to Naraku… If that's what he wanted? Then so be it.

"Kagome?" Inuyasha had smelt her tears and fear so he came out shirtless and in sweatpants to see what was wrong. When he saw her sobbing and shaking, he ran over to her weeping form.
Kagome looked up at Inuyasha with wide eyes. She threw her arms around him in a hug as she sobbed out.

"OH KAMI! INUYASHA, IT WAS HORRIBLE!"
Inuyasha began rubbing soothing circles against the back of her shoulder. Kagome continued.

"Inuyasha… I heard Naraku… and… he… showed… me," Kagome gasped out after each sob.
Inuyasha gripped Kagome by the shoulders in a light clench and made her look at him before he spoke.

"Kagome, take a deep breath, in and out."
Kagome began taking deep breaths per his request, but it didn't help that Inuyasha was shirtless. Either way, she somehow slowed her breathing. Just when her breathing calmed down, she heard Inuyasha say.
"Good, now what were you saying about hearing Naraku and that he showed you..? Showed you what?"

"He… showed me something that made me sick. I heard him call my name and for once, I called out to him. I was calling him a coward, I don't know what it was Inuyasha, but for once, I wasn't scared of him!" She explained as she gazed into his honey-colored eyes.

"I think it was because I was in the dream realm…" She gave one theory.
'Or wanting to protect you,' but she thought of another.

"But I was ready to fight! Then I heard him laugh and say something like, 'Oh but Kagome I have something to show you, it's about Inuyasha and how I broke him as a man.' The next thing I knew... I was on an unfamiliar sidewalk and… I saw..." Kagome's tears doubled as she remembered it all.

"What did he show you?" Inuyasha asked kind of hesitantly. He wanted to know but knew it might be better to wait until she was more composed. In the end, his curiosity got the better of him, he had to know.
Kagome inhaled deeply as she saw the whole dream flash behind her eyes.

"let's just say that I now know why you hate being human," she whispered with a small voice.
Inuyasha went silent. What was she getting at?

"You were naked… your hands were tied behind your back and you were on your knees, this woman with dark brown hair said…"
Kagome continued, her voice coming out shaky and her breathing hitching here and there. She pushed through it though and continued.

"I heard her say 'he's all yours Naraku,' the next thing I knew, I saw that bastard appear. I saw him kick you in the back and you went face down... on the ground." Kagome's voice began to crack.

"I saw him… r-rape… y-you." Kagome couldn't hold her tears back anymore, she brought her hands to her face and sobbed into them. Inuyasha slipped his arms around her and held her tightly.

'Damn you Naraku! Haven't you traumatized Kagome enough? You had no business showing her what you did to me, you fucking sicko!' After a few minutes of Kagome sobbing, she calmed down enough to speak again.

"Inuyasha?" Kagome's voice was small, she sounded like a little kid. Inuyasha looked down at her.

"What is it Kagome?" He asked.

"I'm… gonna give myself to Naraku." Kagome said in her monotone voice with her eyes cast downward.
Inuyasha's eyes went wide, he let Kagome go, pushing her slightly away as anger washed over him.

"What did you just say?" He was in shock. He wasn't sure if he heard her right, there's no way she really just said that.

"I said, I'm gonna give myself to Naraku." Kagome's eyes were still cast down.
Inuyasha looked at Kagome like she had grown a second head.

"You better be fucking joking Kagome." His voice was solemn, how dare she say such a thing.
Kagome shook her head.

"Inuyasha..." before Kagome could finish, Inuyasha got up off of the couch so fast that Kagome looked up at him with startled eyes.

"FUCK NO! LIKE HELL YOU ARE KAGOME!" He yelled as his anger got the best of him.

"Inuyasha, I don't have a choice." Kagome started, only to be interrupted by Inuyasha.

"DON'T HAVE A —KAGOME, YOU DO HAVE A CHOICE AND YOU ARE NOT GIVING YOURSELF TO HIM!" Inuyasha would hear no more about it. Why was she even saying this? How could she..?

"INUYASHA, IF I DON'T THEN HE'LL COME AFTER YOU AGAIN!" Kagome yelled back, tears were glittering in her eyes, just waiting to fall.

"THEN LET HIM! LET HIM COME AFTER ME! KAGOME!" Inuyasha shouted, pounding his chest as he spoke.

"INUYASHA I AM NOT HAVING HIM TOUCH YOU AGAIN!" Kagome yelled right back.

"AND I SURE AS HELL WILL NOT LET HIM TOUCH YOU AGAIN! DAMN IT KAGOME, I DON'T CARE WHAT HE DOES TO ME! I'D RATHER GO THROUGH IT AGAIN THAN HAVE YOU GO THROUGH WHAT THAT BASTARD DID TO YOU AGAIN! YOU GOT IT? YOU! ARE! NOT! GIVING YOURSELF TO THAT MONSTER!"

"Inu..." Kagome started to say, but Inuyasha stopped her with his own voice.

"I already knew, I already knew what that bastard did to you, him and his five lackies," Inuyasha admitted as his expression grimmed and his voice softened.
"W-what do you mean by that Inuyasha?" Kagome's voice was full of confusion.

'Inuyasha already knew what Naraku and his friends did to me? How?' Kagome thought with perplexion and shock.
Inuyasha sighed, he had to tell her about the DVD, even if it meant that she'd be mad at him for who knows how long. It was just a risk that he'd have to be willing to take. She has to realize that giving herself to that sicko is like signing off her soul to the devil himself. He just couldn't sit by and let Kagome do that to herself. He would not let Naraku have her, NEVER AGAIN, so he told her just that.
"I have something to tell you and what I'm about to tell you will probably make you hate me." Inuyasha's voice was serious but full of fear. He didn't want Kagome to hate him.

"What is it?" Kagome asked.

Inuyasha sighed and drew his right hand up to her head to caress her hair softly.
"Someone, who I believe is either Naraku or his little sister…" Inuyasha began to say, but a thought flittered into his head.
'Also known as one of my crazy ex's.' He blinked his eyes shut for a moment and held a breath before opening them and going on.

"Kagura… One of them sent something to Miroku, a DVD. Well, Miroku saw it and gave it to me and… I also watched it." Inuyasha explained.

"Inuyasha...what... What was on the DVD?" Kagome asked, a shaky tone forming her words. She was scared of his answer and she had every right to be because what Inuyasha said made her stop breathing. It made her heart stop.
"Kagome, it was a DVD of you being raped and tortured by Naraku and being gang-raped and tortured by his friends."

Kagome's eyes went wide and her whole face went into shock.
'THAT BASTARD RECORDED RAPING ME!? OH KAMI, what if Naraku sends it to everybody at school? I'll kill myself...' After that thought, she spoke with a shaky voice.
"W-what!?"

Inuyasha nodded somberly.
"I watched it and I knew I shouldn't have, but I knew you wouldn't have told me yourself until now, but I… I had to know what that BASTARD did to you and let's just say that I now know why you didn't want to talk about that day, I could see why"

Inuyasha let go of Kagome's short locks and grabbed his head.
"Him and those FUCKING… BASTARDS! They wouldn't stop no matter what, I can still hear your cries and your screams, they wouldn't… Kami, Kagome, what he and those ANIMALS did to you was horrible and I'LL BE DAMNED IF I LET YOU GO THROUGH THAT AGAIN!" Inuyasha growling while releasing his head to clench and unclench his fists. He was about to continue but was stopped by Kagome

"Inuyasha I want to see the DVD," Kagome said in her monotone voice.

"WHAT?! NO WAY!, Kagome you don't need to watch it..." Before Inuyasha could continue on, Kagome cut his words short with her own.

"Inuyasha, I need to know… I need to know who the others that raped me are. Please." She practically begged him. Inuyasha shook his head but sighed in defeat. He knew that this would only cause another round of anger and disheartened tears, so he turned on the tv and rewound the DVD. When it was done rewinding, he hit play and turned to walk away.
"I don't want to see or hear this disgusting DVD anymore." He told her as his explanation before he went inside his room, shutting his door in the process. He tried to block out the sound, but it was all in vain due to his sensitive hearing. Even if he held pillows over his ears, he could still hear it.

Kagome was sitting on the couch, her eyes glued to the screen. This was it. This was the line and it was unbearably crossed over. Watching the DVD of her rape made her sick. Each scene had her covering her mouth to keep her from vomiting.

She saw Naraku raping her. She could remember every thrust. She could feel every inch of the pain that the bastard had caused to her, not to mention what the other sick bastards had done.

She remembered how rough they were with her fragile little body. They had broken three of her ribs on both sides. She remembered the disgusting fluids that pooled inside of her and everywhere on the rest of her body. She watched them shove things into her. She cringed as she watched the sharpened tools being thrust up inside of her. It was horrible. She had been tied down and defenseless, there was nothing she could do to stop it.

When the DVD was over, she quickly shut the tv off. She folded over herself as she felt like she was crumbling. She broke down into a fit of angry sobs and screams. The sound of her tortured wailing caused Inuyasha to run out in order to comfort her. He took her tightly into his arms and held her. She just sobbed into his bare chest. Inuyasha finally broke the silence although tears were threatening to spill from his eyes.

"If you give yourself to that monster, he'll just do it again and I'll be damned if you go through all that again, Kagome, and before you say anything about him coming after me again, I don't care. If he does come after me again, if that means I can protect you from him even a little bit, then that's what I'll do." Inuyasha explained to her.

Kagome didn't say anything, she simply pressed herself further into his embrace, snuggling up closer to him. She couldn't believe her rape was on a DVD for the world to see. She just hoped that Miroku and Inuyasha were the only ones that had seen it because if anyone from school or anyone at all really saw it, Kagome didn't want to think about that. It was already bad enough as it was.

Sango knew about her being raped and now Miroku and Inuyasha too. The tears from her eyes were still coming down like waterfalls. Her hands lowered to her sides, unable to hold onto Inuyasha anymore. She felt like she had no energy. She felt like she could lay up in bed and let the world pass her by. She felt like she wasn't even a part of it. She sat in the shadows while everyone else lived, but she didn't.

Too many horrible things had happened, she was stuck there. She was stuck in the dark, cold room, tied down and unable to move. Even if Naraku didn't currently have her in his grasp, he had branded her with the memories. She would never be the same, she felt like she would never wake up and live again, live like the people around her who walked so fast with a purpose for the things they do. She moved in slow motion behind them all, left alone and forgotten. Yet… Inuyasha was here… She wasn't alone.

She was taken out of her thoughts when the feeling of something wet touched her hand. She looked down to see Nikki looking at her. The husky mix licked her hand a few times before Inuyasha caught on.

"Nikki, stop," Inuyasha commanded and the Husky mix looked up at him with sad eyes. She knew Kagome was sad and if Inuyasha liked her, then she wanted to make both of them happy.

"Inu..." Kagome said as she pulled away from his embrace and she reached out at Nikki before she left.

"Come here girl," She called and with a look at her master and a nod of approval from Inuyasha, she went to Kagome. Kagome rubbed the top of her head before scratching behind her ears. Nikki's tail wagged a mile a minute, thumping Kagome's leg as she did so. Kagome couldn't stay sad with that happening.

A small smile reached her lips and Inuyasha smiled at Nikki. He placed a few loving pets on her back before Nikki finally had enough and trotted away, into the kitchen. The distinct sound of dry food being chomped on could be heard.

"She's a really good dog, I bet… I bet Shadow would like her." Kagome said as she looked to Inuyasha who nodded.

"She's the sweetest girl I know." He stated before he shook his head.

"After you of course." He added. Kagome shook her head in disagreement.

"Your a good person Inuyasha, taking care of her. She seems really happy." Kagome said. Inuyasha frowned.

"Shadow is probably just as happy with you," Inuyasha explained. A sad look filtered onto Kagome's face.

"Shadow got shot by Desker and now he needs surgery… What kind of person am I to let him get hurt like that?" She questioned desperately. Inuyasha felt his face somber up as he grabbed a hold of her again.

"It wasn't your fault Kagome and I don't think Shadow blames you, he loves you!" Inuyasha stated. Kagome sniffled a few times before pulling away yet again.

"You really think so?" She asked. Inuyasha nodded.

"I know so." He said. They sat there in silence for a moment, listening to Nikki eat her food before Inuyasha looked up at the clock.

"Let's get some sleep, it's one in the morning and we have to be up in five more hours. If you want, you can take my bed and I can sleep out here. Nikki will be with you, so you won't be alone." Inuyasha offered.

"But this is your place, I should be on the..." Kagome began to deny him, but Inuyasha put a finger to her lips to shush her.

"I'd rather have you sleep on my bed than here on the couch. I don't mind sleeping out here, really."

Sighing in defeat, Kagome nodded and Inuyasha grabbed her hand to lead her to his bedroom. When they entered, Nikki came in behind them and went to her big, pink, fluffy bed. She walked around in circles for a moment before laying down, the chin of her snout resting on her paw. Kagome smiled at her before she noticed the word 'Spoiled' scrawled on the outside of her bed in big golden letters.

"Really? Spoiled?" She asked while climbing into Inuyasha's bed.

Inuyasha followed her gaze to Nikki's bed. He started to chuckle which caused his pecs to move, dusting Kagome's cheeks in pink with a small blush.

"Well, what can I say? I get only the best for my Nikki. Don't you spoil Shadow?" Inuyasha asked. Kagome giggled with a nod.

"I sure do, I make him his own doggy cake for his birthday, vanilla, of course. I even fix him his own dog food and mix it in with his 'true blue' hard food. You know, to mix it up a little so he doesn't get sick of eating the same thing every day, and don't laugh, but I also have a doggy bed for him that says 'studmuffin."

Inuyasha couldn't help his chuckle at that.

"Studmuffin?" He questioned.

"Hey, he's my baby! Of course, he's my stud muffin." Kagome pouted, folding her arms across her chest as she puffed out her cheeks. She looked like a little kid that wanted a cookie, but Inuyasha couldn't help thinking of how adorable she looked when she made that face.

Inuyasha stopped chuckling and he smirked at Kagome who was also blushing.

'There's that smirk of his again, doesn't he know what that smirk and his body does to me, kami,' she thought as she climbed up into his bed. She pushed down the blankets so that she could pull them over herself.

She was out basically as soon as her head hit the pillow. Inuyasha had been petting Nikki for a moment before he stood up and straightened himself. His eyes wandered over to Kagome and her sleeping face. He walked over to her and he pulled the blanket up a little more to cover Kagome's uncovered shoulder that had goosebumps.

"Goodnight Kagome," he whispered. He then did something unexpected, he leaned over and kissed the top of Kagome's head and whispered into her ear.

"I won't let that monster touch you ever again, I promise. I'm going to protect you from now on. I will protect you Kagome." With that, Inuyasha rubbed her head for a few seconds before walking out, leaving her in his room. He found his couch and laid down on it. He pulled up a blanket and turned to his side with his eyes closed, waiting to fall asleep.
Eventually, when he realized that he couldn't fall asleep, he decided that he would stay up just in case Kagome woke up with another nightmare. Now that she had seen the DVD, he was afraid that she'd wake up with another one. Since he was a half-demon, he didn't need much sleep anyway.
He checked his phone and it was after 1:30 am, he decided to send a text to Sango.

From Inuyasha:
"hey I know it's late but I saw Kagome walking and I didn't want anything else bad happening to her anymore"

'even though she was..' Inuyasha shook his head. He didn't want to think about what happened inside the club with Naraku, so he continued texting Sango.

"She bumped into Naraku again so I'm having her spend the night at my apartment."

Inuyasha waited for a few minutes until he heard a 'ding'. He looked and saw that Sango had replied.

From: Slayer
"Thank you for letting me know, Miroku and I will come to pick you two up in the morning, oh and be sure to let Kagome know that the Veterinarian called, He said that Shadow's surgery was a success and that she can pick him up later today."

Inuyasha replied back.

From: Inuyasha
"Sounds good, and I will let her know,
Oh, don't forget extra clothes for Kagome to wear in the morning."

From: Slayer
"What's wrong with what she has on?"

From: Inuyasha
"She had on a fucking tube top that showed too much of her breasts, tight ass jeans, and fucking seven-inch high heel knee boots. She looked too damn sexy for her own good Sango, I am not having her dress like that at school! HELL TO THE NO!"

From: Slayer
"Well the jeans don't seem to be a problem for her to wear but the tube top and heels are a whole different story altogether."

'No shit woman, she looks like a sexy vampire vixen and I am not having her wear it. Damn it, even if we were dating, I still wouldn't let her wear that, it's bad enough that she's working as a stripper where guys eye her like kids eye a new fucking toy.' Inuyasha thought angrily to himself

From: Inuyasha
"Well at least bring her a decent shirt please, and comfortable shoes I'm not having her strutting around in those walking daggers that she calls boots."

From: Slayer
"Will do, I g2g I'll ttyl8r ok?

From: Inuyasha
"Ok ttyl8r"

With that done, he placed his phone on the coffee table and just chilled, laying on his couch.
After a few minutes, Inuyasha was getting a little antsy. He looked around his apartment and saw his dumbbells. He decided that if he was staying up, he might as well work his frustrations out. He looked at his clock and saw it was 1:45 am now. He still had a lot of time before he would have to wake Kagome up, so why not? He got up and grabbed the dumbbells and began working his arms. He was so caught up in his workout that he didn't know that he was being watched.

Outside
Naraku was lurking in the shadows, he had shown Kagome what he had done to Inuyasha. With an evil grin, he thought to himself, 'Kagome I know your weakness and that weakness will make you mine.'

Naraku's phone went off, so he reached into his pocket and saw it was a text from Kikyou.

From:Kikyou

"It's ready."

Naraku's evil smirk was wider than ever. He put his phone away.

'Excellent, you're mine Kagome, whether you like it or not, you belong to me and so does Inuyasha.' With that last thought, Naraku disappeared into the night.

(Back with Inuyasha)

After fifteen more minutes, Inuyasha stopped his last set. He placed the dumbbells down and went about doing twenty sets of crunches. He finally finished his sets and looked up at the clock. It was now 2 am. He now decided that he was going to do twenty push-ups. As 2:30 am rolled in, he finished those twenty sets and did twenty squats after. Inuyasha kept working out until it turned 5 am. Once it reached that time, he stretched his body and then walked to his fridge. He grabbed a water bottle and began to drink it like all the water in the world may very well evaporate and disappear forever.
He was sweaty and smelly, so he waited until Kagome got up so that he could take a quick shower. A clearing of the throat broke him from drinking his water. Inuyasha looked at the frame of his bedroom door and saw Kagome standing there. Her short hair was a mess, probably from moving around while she was sleeping. It didn't help the fact that she was still in her 'too sexy of attire' from last night. Inuyasha's eyes roamed her body and he had to stop himself from groaning. She really did look sexy, but he wasn't the only one looking.

Before Inuyasha was done working out
Kagome woke up with a start. She looked around and noticed that she wasn't on Inuyasha's couch, but then remembered Inuyasha convincing her to take his room and sleep on his bed instead. She then got up and headed towards the kitchen so she could get some food, but then she stopped when she saw Inuyasha doing pushups. He was glistening in sweat. Kagome could feel herself getting hot at the sight of him. When Inuyasha was done, Kagome kept ogling him. She watched as all of his muscles moved with every push and pull of his arms.

She had to admit that for a guy, a sexy inu-hanyou at that, he did have a nice ass. Hell, Inuyasha had a great body, period. It kinda made Kagome want to ward unwanted females and some males off with a metal baseball bat.
Kagome saw him take out a water bottle and started chugging it down. She was surprised he didn't smell or hear her, so she cleared her throat.
He turned around, then he started looking over Kagome's body. It didn't bother her, after all, she's been eyeing him also. So Kagome spoke with some actual playfulness.
"See something you like? Inuyasha?" She asked with a teasing voice.

"I could ask you the same thing, Kagome," Inuyasha said with an equal amount of playfulness, he was happy to see some cheerfulness showing in Kagome's eyes. It wasn't much, but it was some, which was more than enough for him.
Kagome didn't say anything, but instead, she was too busy blushing to say anything. She began to think with a mental sigh.

'What's there not to like? Your sexy, strong, kind, smart, sweet, protective. Oh how I wish to be with you Inu, but I don't know if either of us is ready for that yet.' She thought.
Inuyasha then thought to himself as well.

'Kagome, you are just so beautiful. I want to ask you if you'd be mine, but you are nowhere near ready for that and of course, with that sicko Naraku, and of course that damned Koga, you're not safe. Until we get those pricks out of the way and of course my three psycho ex-girlfriends out of the way and were both safe, then I will ask you if you will be my girlfriend. I promise you Kags that when you do, you will be treated like a queen. I will spoil you, love you, cherish you, and most of all, protect you.'
Inuyasha declared in his mind. He looked at the clock now and it read 5:10 am. He turned towards Kagome and asked,

"whatcha want for breakfast?"

"Honestly, I'm not quite sure what I want for breakfast, what are the selections, if you don't mind me asking?" Kagome asked with a blush.

"No problem, well, I have cereal, different flavors of Ramen, or I can fix you something," Inuyasha said while counting all the said food selections with his fingers.

"Hmmm, eggs and toast does sound good, Can you fix me two scrambled eggs and toast please?" Kagome asked Inuyasha. Inuyasha nodded.

"Sure, do you want something to drink? Milk, O.j, coffee, Water?" He asked.

"I'll have orange juice please," Kagome said while taking a seat at the white round table.
Inuyasha nodded again.
"Two Scrambled eggs, toast, and a glass of O.J coming right up." He repeated the order aloud.

"I'm gonna take a quick shower, okay?" Kagome said as she headed into Inuyasha's bathroom.

Inuyasha just looked at her, nodded and began getting the two eggs, bread, juice, and the frying pan for the eggs out. He placed the bread into the toaster and popped it down as he began making breakfast for Kagome.

With Kagome

Kagome turned the shower on and waited for it to get warm. The liquor was finally wearing off, so the pain in her body especially down there was really setting in. It felt like torture. She hoped that this shower would help her. Once it was warm enough, she stripped and got in. The blood from between her legs had her scrubbing herself raw. Her skin crawled because she could still feel Naraku touching her.

She could still feel his tentacles inside of her. She began crying, tears mixing with the water that ran down her face. She was trying to cleanse herself, but no matter how much she scrubbed, she didn't feel clean. She would never feel clean.

She quietly sobbed, trying to make sure that Inuyasha wouldn't hear her. She just couldn't break down in front of him, not again. After a while, she was done.

She wiped away her tears and washed her face to make sure that Inuyasha couldn't smell them. She turned off the shower, got out, got dressed, and headed back out to Inuyasha.

Back with Inuyasha

After the toast popped up and the eggs were done, Inuyasha turned off his stove and opened a cabinet door to get out a plate.

He scooped the eggs up under his spatula and slid them onto her plate. Then he buttered up the toast before adding it to her plate. He walked to a drawer, grabbed a fork and knife, then placed those on the plate and lastly, Inuyasha poured the orange juice into the medium-sized glass with a red straw and grabbed the plate of food and the orange juice before going over to the table. He sat everything down in front of Kagome.

"Here you are, princess Kagome, enjoy." He said as he offered it up to her.

Kagome then asked in astonishment while taking a seat at the round table, "Princess?"

"Well, to me, every woman…" He began before thinking, 'except my three psycho exs.'

"...should be treated like royalty. Wouldn't you agree?" He asked her with a warm smile on his face.

Kagome couldn't help it as a small giggle escaped from her.
"Yes, I agree one hundred percent. Thank you for this breakfast Inuyasha, it's very sweet of you, maybe next time I can fix you food, what do you say?" She asked with an inviting smile gracing her lips.

Inuyasha's smile widened. He was happy that he got her to smile and it was a beautiful smile at that.

"You don't have to." He said.

"You're right, but I want to. After all, you've done for me, it's the least I can do, ya know." Kagome said with a little blush and taking a sip of her o.j.
Inuyasha chuckled in earnest.

"Eat up, Sango and Miroku will be here in an hour." He informed her.

"What about you?" Kagome asked, getting ready to dig her fork into her eggs.

"What about me?" Inuyasha asked.

"Well, aren't you going to eat?" Kagome asked., her voice holding concern.

Inuyasha nodded.
"Of course, but I'm just having cereal and a glass of milk."

"You sure that'll be enough?" Kagome asked after taking a bite of her eggs. Inuyasha chuckled again.

"It's enough for this inu-hanyou, trust me Kagome, I'll survive."

Kagome looked at him with concerned eyes. Inuyasha saw this and sighed.

"Okay, okay, I'll fix myself some eggs and toast also, will that make you feel better?" He questioned.

Kagome nodded.

"Yes, yes it will, thank you." With that said, she took another bite of her eggs.
Inuyasha went to get himself two eggs and bread and began to cook himself over-easy eggs with toast.

'Inu, You may be a half-demon, but you're also half-human too, meaning that you could still get sick and I don't want to see you sick.'
With that thought Kagome continued to eat, taking her time, enjoying Inuyasha's great cooking. Kagome then heard Inuyasha say,

"Oh...I almost forgot to tell you that Sango wanted me to let you know that the Vet called and said that Shadow's surgery was a success and

that you can pick him up later today."
Kagome was happy she could finally bring her four-legged, tail-wagging baby boy home.

"We can get him after school then, I can't wait till he comes home." She said before taking a bite of her toast.
Inuyasha was now finished with his eggs and the toast popped up. He grabbed a plate, a fork, and a knife. Inuyasha placed the eggs, toast and the two utensils on his plate before he went to pour himself some milk.
Inuyasha then grabbed the plate and his glass of milk before joining Kagome at his table. He began to eat his breakfast too.
Inuyasha took in Kagome's scent and he could smell salt. It was faint, but he could smell traces of it. He had to ask her...

"Kagome, are you feeling alright?" He questioned.
Kagome looked up at him. She could see the worry in his golden eyes. She then thought to herself,

'of course I forgot Inuyasha can still smell traces of my tears, why did I think he wouldn't? His sense of smell is still strong, but I can't tell him what Naraku did to me last night.' Kagome was brought out of her thoughts when she heard Inuyasha say her name.

"I'm sorry Inuyasha, I didn't hear you," Kagome said.

"I asked, what did Naraku do to you last night? I know that's what had you crying again. That and you're probably still in a lot of pain, so tell me what did the fucker do?" Inuyasha asked with a tight voice.

'Should I tell him… No. He'll kill him, which wouldn't be so bad, but I don't want Inuyasha to go to prison… but if I don't, he'll keep asking until I do.' With that thought, Kagome decided that she had to tell him.

"If I tell you, you have to promise me that you won't kill him." Kagome's voice was filled with grave seriousness.

Inuyasha looked at her like she grew a second head.

"You're kidding right?" He then yelled out, "AFTER WHAT THAT BASTARD HAS DONE TO US, BUT MOSTLY TO YOU? YOU THINK I'M GONNA LET THE SICK BASTARD LIVE!?"

Kagome sighed at that.
"Inuyasha, don't get me wrong, I want him dead too. I do, but since he can't go to prison because of his father being the Chief of Police, Naraku is pretty much untouchable. Killing the bastard would be much better, but I don't want to see you in prison, so please, promise me you won't kill him."

Inuyasha could tell that Kagome was serious. He sighed and spoke next with a growl
"Fine, I promise I won't kill him, I'll just beat him into a coma instead."

"That's fine," Kagome said with a shrug. She took a deep breath and finally told Inuyasha everything from when she walked into the room to when Naraku touching her, inserting his tentacles inside her vagina, mouth, and ass all at once, and blasting him into the wall when he was about to ram his dick inside her ass. After Kagome was done telling Inuyasha, she broke down. She started rubbing her arms and Inuyasha was lividly pissed.
Kagome was fucking raped again and he wasn't there to stop it, just like with Koga. He had failed her yet again. He got up and in a fit of rage, he punched his wall.
"THAT**punch** FUCKING**punch** SON**punch** OF**punch** A**punch** BITCH!" he kept punching the wall while yelling, "THAT **punch* BASTARD, **punch** THAT **punch**FUCKING**punch** BASTARD**punch** IS **punch**GONNA **punch**PAY!"
"INU, STOP!" Kagome got up and ran to Inuyasha's side. She hugged him tightly and he stopped his tirade while Kagome squeezed her arms around him.

He had her close and she felt teardrops hitting her. She looked up at Inuyasha and saw him crying, she then heard him sob out,
"When I saw you… your dress ripped and the bruises, the blood coming down... I knew what he… I knew what he did and for me not getting to you in time… I feel like I failed you again... And I did, I… I… I promised… to… protect… you… and… I COULDN'T GET TO YOU SOON ENOUGH. JUST LIKE WITH THAT BASTARD KOGA AND I'M SO SORRY KAGOME! I AM SO SORRY, IT'S MY FAULT, I FAILED YOU AGAIN!"

Inuyasha hugged Kagome as he sobbed nonstop. She held him and let him cry.
"Inuyasha… It's not your fault, you couldn't have known that he would be there and do what he was bound to do. It was bound to happen again sooner or later… But as I said, I used my powers and granted, yes, he did rape me with his..." Kagome couldn't finish her sentence.

Tears were falling down her face, but she was still trying to calm down the distressed hanyou in her arms only to have him sob out.
"It… shouldn't… have… happened… not to you… Kagome… not to you ever."
Kagome just held him, her own tears were still dripping down her cheeks, so she wiped them away.

Seeing and hearing Inuyasha like this broke her heart. She waited a few moments for him to calm down. Once Inuyasha was calm enough, they both decided they would figure out how to deal with Naraku later and went back to finishing their breakfast. After a few minutes, it was 5:29 am. They were both done with their breakfast. Kagome was going to take their plates, but Inuyasha stopped her and said,

"Oh no, you sit back down okay? I got these." Without any argument, she let him take the plates. Sure, she was his guest, but she figured after all he's done for her, from protecting her from Naraku and now Koga, she just wanted to help him out in any way she could. Yet he was too damn stubborn to even let her lift a finger. Inuyasha then announced that he was gonna take a quick shower to get rid of the sweat from his workouts. Kagome responded with an "okay."

Inuyasha began to notice that she wasn't speaking in her monotone voice and he was happy about that in the very least.
'I like hearing her happy and full of emotion instead of sounding like a robot,' he thought before he went into his private bathroom, passing by Nikki sleeping in her doggy bed.

Once he turned on the water, Inuyasha shut his bathroom door and began to strip off his sweat pants and boxers and went inside the shower.
It was now 5:33 am, Inuyasha had finished his shower and was now getting dressed; he put on his white socks, red and black boxers, black baggy jeans with a long silver chain hooked on to the right side of his belt loop, and a long-sleeved red shirt which showed off his nice muscular body. Lastly, he put on his trusty, old, black combat boots.
Inuyasha put on his Axe cologne, brushed his teeth and fangs, and then his hair. After he was done, he walked back into the family kitchen.
Kagome took in his appearance and she had to admit that he looked good, like always. Inuyasha saw her looking at him and he was about to say something smug, but then he heard the doorbell ring. It caused Nikki to jump up and start running towards the door. He figured it had to be Miroku and Sango, so he walked to the door and opened it. He saw the two said humans standing outside. He looked at Nikki and told her to go lay down and she listened.

"Hey guys, come on in," Inuyasha said as he moved to the side to let his two best friends into his apartment, they both entered.
Miroku had on a dark long-sleeved purple shirt, black cargo pants, and black vans. Sango was wearing a dark pink sweater dress with black leggings and pink and black champion sneakers, she also had dark pink eyeshadow on and light pink lip gloss.

"Thank you, Inuyasha," Miroku said with gratitude.
"Yes, thank you, and I got Kagome a new shirt and some comfy shoes," Sango said while holding up a white long-sleeved shirt with black hearts and black and white converse.
Inuyasha took the two items from her and gestured for Miroku and Sango to go have a seat on the couch. They both nodded their thanks and headed towards the family room.
When they saw Kagome, they all greeted each other. Once Kagome stood up, but not without cringing at the pain she was still feeling, they both took in her choice of clothing and the new bruises around her neck and chest, causing the two to look at Inuyasha.

"What the hell happened to her why does she have bruises and why in the hell is she having trouble standing?" Sango whispered to the hanyou.

"Long story, I'll tell you guys later," Inuyasha whispered back. Sango knew it had something to do with Naraku, but she didn't have any details or context. She mentally shook her head when she looked at Kagome's top and boots again.
'Good thing I brought a new shirt and shoes for her.'
Miroku, on the other hand, had wide eyes and whispered to Sango,
"If her older brother saw her dressed like this or the bruises, he'd flip the hell out."
"Oh yeah, big time," Sango whispered back with a nod in agreement. Any big brother would freak if they saw their little sister dressed so revealing or covered in bruises.
Inuyasha then gave Kagome the new shirt and shoes then said,
"Go change."

"And what's wrong with what I'm wearing?" Kagome asked with an arched eyebrow and her head cocked to the left side in a cute and curious gesture. Inuyasha, Miroku, and Sango narrowed their eyes at her.

'Seriously?' Miroku and Sango both thought at the same time.

"It's too revealing, now go change," Inuyasha growled out. He knew her clothing was too revealing because he could feel his pants getting tight.
Kagome sighed and limped into Inuyasha's room. She placed the white long-sleeve shirt with black hearts over the tube top she wore. It fit her tightly hugging her curves just right. After she put on her black and white converse, she brushed her teeth, her hair, and did her makeup. She did her best to hide the bruises on her neck, chest, and her old bruises on her face. She had on black eyeshadow, black eyeliner, and clear lip gloss. She had the punk look going on today.

After Kagome was done, she walked back out into the family room and found everyone chilling. She caught Inuyasha checking her out.
'Kami damn, she is literally trying to make my heart stop!'
Inuyasha thought before he nodded and said,
"That's more like it." He got up after that and went to give Nikki food and water. After he did those two chores, he called Nikki, who came running and started to chow down on her food.
Inuyasha reached down and pet her behind her ears and told her that he was leaving, but would be back later. Nikki barked her reply and continued eating.

Kagome grabbed her black leather jacket and pulled it on, over her shirt.
After she did that, they all left Inuyasha's apartment. Once he had locked his door, the crew was ready to head towards their high school.
The walk was silent until Sango spoke up.
"Hey Kagome, since your turning sixteen, how about we all go get tattoos or piercings?"
They all waited to hear her reply Kagome. Kagome looked over at Sango and said,

"Well honestly, I actually have been thinking about getting my nose, cartilage, or navel pierced. Maybe even a tattoo, but I have to wait until I turn eighteen." Kagome told them.

"Why wait until your eighteen? Why not just get your tattoo or piercings now?" Miroku asked. Inuyasha was wondering about that too.

"Because I'll need a parent or guardian to sign the consent forms.
The last time I checked, both my mom and grandfather hate my guts." Kagome said through clenched teeth while looking at the ground.

"What about Sota? He is your big brother and he is an adult, after all, he could sign them." Inuyasha voiced his two cents with a cocked eyebrow, but inside, he was shaking his head at her so-called 'mother' and 'grandfather's selfishness and stupidity. Kagome sighed, trying to ignore the pain from her body and mostly from her vagina.

"True, but I don't live with him anymore. If I still did, then that would make him my legal guardian, but since I live with Sango and her family, that makes them my legal guardians, but they're in Korea for three more months." Inuyasha turned towards Kagome and placed one hand on her shoulder.
"Just give it a shot, who knows? Maybe they'll let him sign." Inuyasha said in a gentle tone as always.

"Eh, what the hell, I guess it couldn't hurt to try," Kagome said in an upbeat voice which surprised Sango and Miroku. They both looked at each other and then back at the smiling duo which had them also smiling from ear to ear.

'They both look so happy.' Miroku and Sango both thought to themselves. With that, they all continued walking towards the high school.
It was 6:20 am When they reached the school, the class wouldn't start until 7 am, so Inuyasha and Kagome decided to stay outside while Miroku and Sango went into the cafe to grab some breakfast.
When they left, Kagome grabbed her pack of cigarettes. She was down to her last two. She sighed as she gave Inuyasha one he took it and said,
"thank you."
"No problem, I need to have Sota buy me more," Kagome replied.
Kagome then lit her cigarette and gave Inuyasha the lighter so he could light his.
"Kagome, have you thought about quitting smoking?" Inuyasha asked while taking a drag of his cigarette.
Kagome took a long drag of her cigarette as well and said,
"Tch, quitting smoking isn't an option for me right now Inuyasha." Kagome flicked her ash and took another drag.
"Well, you should, ya know... it's not healthy for a beautiful girl like you and I hear it can cause wrinkles and you're too young for those."
Inuyasha said while flicking off the ashes off his own cigarette, his left foot on the wall.
Kagome looked up at him with shock and asked,
"You think I'm..beautiful?"
Inuyasha looked at her with a blush, but boldness and confidence overtook him.
"Yeah, I do think you're beautiful, actually scratch that, I know you are." He complimented her.
Kagome blushed at his words.
"Thank you, Inuyasha that actually..means a lot to me to hear you say that." She said with a drag of her half of cigarette.
Inuyasha was shocked, but he took another drag of his half of cigarette with ease, playing it cool.
"You mean to tell me that no one has ever called you beautiful?"
Kagome shook her head no.
"Sadly no, I've been called hotty, sexy, and of course a whore, Slut, and a cunt. I've never been called anything nice like beautiful." She admitted.
Inuyasha was dumbstruck. She was beyond beautiful, how could no one have ever told her that?
"Never? no one but me has ever called you beautiful?" He questioned.

'Well, you are sexy too, but seriously, no one has ever called her beautiful!?' He thought to himself.
"Nope," Kagome said through clenched teeth and took another drag of her cigarette.
Inuyasha took also took a drag of his cigarette, he had to ask her the one question that he really wanted to ask.
"Kagome, remember when I asked how you knew Naraku?" He questioned and Kagome nodded and said,
"Yes, what about it?" Inuyasha then continued the unanswered question that he had wanted to know since day one when they had first met.
"Was Naraku your… first… boyfriend?"
Kagome shook her head and said,
"Hell naw, Desker was my first boyfriend and again, worst mistake of my life. But Naraku was just my friend, well at least I thought he was. We met when I was twelve and he was fifteen, at first it was fine. We would talk, hangout, and that was about it, but when I turned thirteen and he turned sixteen, that was when he started getting more obsessed with me. I broke off our friendship and well, let's just say it didn't turn out so well… for me anyway, after all, that fucker did steal my virginity." She explained.
Inuyasha nodded sadly. He wished she didn't have to go through that ever, he was about to say something until Kagome continued.
"Inuyasha, the one thing you have to understand is that I'm nothing but a sex object to guys. That's why you calling me beautiful really means a lot to me because you actually see me as an actual person. you see me as me and not just my body. Whenever guys look at me, all they see is ass and boobs and of course with me being… mixed with Latina and American, I was cursed with these assets. I'm what guys call an exotic bitch, the only thing Japanese about me are my eyes and of course my first and last name, but that's it. I guess that is another reason why I'm stripping, give the guys what they want." Her tone sounded dead as she spoke and her eyes were downcast and sad.
Inuyasha and Kagome both put their cigarettes out and they just chilled.
"I want you to quit." Inuyasha then said in a whisper.
"Huh?" Kagome asked, confused about what he meant by it.
"Stripping, I want you to quit stripping Kags, please," Inuyasha whispered through clenched teeth.
"Inuyasha, you know I can't. I need the money, especially now that I have Shadow back..." Kagome trailed off.
"Please… Kagome, I don't want you working as a stripper anymore... I don't want to keep seeing you get hurt and used. You deserve to be happy, you deserve to be loved, and I know that you aren't happy working there. I can see it in your eyes, you want something more than this, but because of what had happened to you back then, you think this is what you deserve. You might feel unworthy of happiness, but Kagome, you do deserve to be happy and I want you to be happy too." Inuyasha had let her go, they both looked up, catching each other's gaze. They were getting lost in each other's gaze until Inuyasha broke the silence and spoke while rubbing Kagome's face where Koga had hit her on Monday.
"And I don't want other guy's looking at you like a piece of meat."
Just as he said that, out of the corner of his left eye, two jocks were looking at Kagome. They were licking their lips and Inuyasha could smell their lust. He got in front of Kagome, showed them his claws, and gave a threatening snarl. The jocks both ran for their lives. When they left, Inuyasha turned back towards Kagome and growled out,
"See what I mean?"

Kagome looked at him and said,
"Inuyasha, I appreciate your concern but, as I said, I can't quit. I'm sorry and even if I did, I'll still have guys eye me like a 'piece of meat'
whether I'm a stripper or not and it could be worse."
"What could be worse than me seeing a great girl like you on stage stripping?" Inuyasha asked with a tight voice.
"I could've been a call girl," Kagome said back in her Monotone voice.

Inuyasha was about to say something else until he and Kagome heard a familiar male's voice that made Kagome's body tense up. Inuyasha turned towards him and began snarling.
"Hello my sweet Kagome, and oh, you're here to Inuyasha? This should be fun." Naraku said, ignoring Inuyasha's snarl. He looked Kagome up and down with a sick grin that made Kagome cringe and Inuyasha snarled more. Naraku began waltzing up to Kagome and said,
"I wish we could have finished our fun last night Kagome. Hopefully, we can continue where we left off." Kagome began to shake and Inuyasha, well let's just say his flashbacks be damned, he saw the fucked up bastard get closer to Kagome. He began trying to touch her, but Inuyasha would not be having this bastard touch her ever again. Inuyasha could only see red and then as fast as lighting, Inuyasha punched Naraku in the face, sending him to the ground. Inuyasha got on top of the spider hanyou, grabbed him by the collar, and yelled into his face.
"YOU FUCKING BASTARD, I'M GONNA KILL YOU! FOR WHAT YOU DID TO HER!"
Inuyasha started beating him into a bloody pulp while still yelling in his face. "THIS**Punch** IS**Punch**FOR**Punch**TOUCHING **Punch**KAGOME **Punch** LAST**Punch**NIGHT**Punch**THIS**Punch**IS**Punch** FOR**Punch**WHAT **Punch**YOU **Punch**DID **Punch**TO **Punch**KAGOME **Punch**THREE**Punch**YEARS**Punch** AGO"**Punch** 'AND FOR WHAT YOU DID TO ME ON SUNDAY' Inuyasha thought that part to himself.
Inuyasha didn't realize that he had drawn a crowd chanting, "Fight! Fight! Fight!"
He just kept wailing on Naraku, his eyes were turning red and purple stripes were forming on his cheeks. He didn't even notice Kagome screaming for him to stop. However, Inuyasha was pulled off of Naraku by Miroku and Sango who decided to come back out and get Kagome and Inuyasha because the first hour was about to start. When they saw him deck Naraku in the face and proceed to get on top of him and throw punches repeatedly, they both ran towards their raging inu-hanyou friend and tried to pull him off Naraku. Inuyasha yelled out in his demonic voice,
"LET ME GO, LET ME KILL THIS BASTARD, HE HURT MY MATE-TO-BE!"
"INU, IT'S ME AND SANGO, STOP AND SNAP OUT OF IT!"
Miroku yelled.
Inuyasha kept thrashing around, trying to get out of Miroku and Sango's hold while yelling,
"LET GO! HE NEEDS TO PAY! DAMN IT LET GO OF ME! HE AND ALL THE OTHER SICKOS NEED TO PAY FOR WHAT THEY DID TO MY MATE-TO-BE!"
Miroku knew that his demon was referring to Kagome as his 'mate-to-be'. He whispered into Inuyasha's ear while still holding him with Sango who also knew the term 'mate' since she was from a family of demon slayers. She was told at the age of eleven about demons and how they find their 'mate-to-be', so she was surprised but happy that Inuyasha had found Kagome as his 'mate-to-be'.

'Well it all makes perfect sense on why Inuyasha is wanting to protect Kagome,' Sango thought happily to herself.

Then she heard Miroku say,
"We know Inuyasha, and believe me when I say this, Naraku, and all the other fucked up bastards deserve your wrath, but do you really think being expelled or worse, being arrested would be good right now? Do you really think Kagome would want to see you locked up? Do ya?"

"I DON'T CARE, HE NEEDS TO DIE, LET ME GO!" Inuyasha yelled while still trying to get out of Sango and Miroku's hold.

Sango then added her two cents into the furious inu-hanyou's ear, "Inuyasha, we know you want to protect Kagome, we do, but how would you protect Kagome from behind bars? Come on and think rationally, please Inuyasha!"

"DON'T YOU REALISE WHAT THIS MONSTER HAS DONE TO MY MATE-TO-BE? HUH!? AND YOU'RE TELLING ME TO THINK RATIONALLY!? HE HAS FUCKING HURT HER IN WAYS THAT NO ONE SHOULD EVER HAVE TO GO THROUGH...!" Inuyasha yelled while still trying to get at Naraku until he heard Kagome. He stopped at the sound of her voice and turned towards her.

Kagome, who ran up behind him and hugged him tightly, began to speak to him, well, more like cried.
"Inuyasha, please stop. You promised not to kill him, we'll figure something out! Okay? Just, please! Please calm down… Please, I told you I don't want to see you in prison, please Inuyasha, please let's just go." Kagome pleaded as she looked up into his dark red eyes. Her own eyes were full of tears, Inuyasha could feel his demon calm down and he started reverting back to his normal hanyou self.
Inuyasha looked around and saw the other students had gathered around. He then looked at his friends and gave them a 'what the fuck?' look, they pointed at Naraku's knocked out and beaten body.

Inuyasha saw, gestured Naraku's unconscious body with his thumb and asked,
"Did..I?"

"Yeah buddy, you did," Miroku said with a hand on Inuyasha's shoulder.
Inuyasha scoffed and said,
"Keh, the bastard had it coming, let's go."

Yet, inside Inuyasha's mind, an argument was raging.

'We should've just grabbed Kagome and walked away from the bastard.' His human side said within.

'WALK AWAY? WALK AWAY!? THAT BASTARD DESERVED THAT ASS KICKING, AFTER WHAT THAT MOFO DID TO US BUT MOSTLY WHAT HE FUCKING DID TO OUR MATE-TO-BE…' The demon within spat back.

'DON'T YOU THINK I DON'T KNOW THAT? HE'S CAUSE KAGOME ENOUGH PAIN IN HER LIFE.' The human side responded.

'THEN WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO WALK AWAY? ITS LIKE YOU DON'T WANT TO PROTECT HER.' The demon scoffed angrily.
'NOW WAIT JUST A KAMI DAMN SECOND, I DO WANT TO PROTECT KAGOME BUT I DON'T THINK WE WOULD BE ABLE TO PROTECT HER FROM BEHIND BARS, THAT FUCKER WOULDN'T GET ANY PRISON TIME BUT WE THE FUCK WILL!' The human side defended himself.

'..I guess you have a point.' The demon side for once agreed with the human side of himself.

'Exactly, so the next time you question my feelings about our Kagome, you best think twice about that so don't you DARE get shit twisted now.' his human side stated.
Inuyasha grabbed Kagome's hand and they all began to head to their first hour which was World History II. Once they reached their class, the second bell rung which meant that class was now starting, so they all took their seats. Sitting for Kagome was painful but she ignored it, she had to she didn't want Inuyasha to worry anymore, but Inuyasha knew that she was still in a lot of pain he could tell by the way she grimaced and flinched when she took her seat Inuyasha was about to go to Kagome's desk until
Their teacher Mr. Myoga arrived two minutes late and began by saying how sorry he was and mumbled something about "damn traffic" and "I swear people nowadays don't know how to drive, I mean where do they get their licenses now? Out of a cereal box?", everyone in the class started to chuckle. If Mr. Myoga could see himself in the mirror right now, he'd probably be laughing too because his facial expression when he ranted was priceless.

"Anyway, enough of my rant of the day, let's get on with today's lesson, shall we?" Mr. Myoga said while writing on the blackboard in big bold letters with white chalk. It read, 'The Feudal era.' With that, they started the lesson.
After an hour, the class was over. All of the students grabbed their stuff and headed out of the classroom, but not before Mr. Myoga yelled out at them.
"REMEMBER, STUDY THE FEUDAL ERA TONIGHT! THERE WILL BE A TEST ON FRIDAY! SO YOU HAVE TODAY AND TOMORROW TO STUDY!"
After hearing that dreadful news, all the students groaned.
Inuyasha then said,
"I need to get my Physics III book from my locker, I'll be back."
"Do you want me to go with you? I have to get mine also and our lockers just happen to be right next to each other." Kagome asked him. Inuyasha looked at her and said, "sure, come on."
"Oh, wait, I have mine right here actually," Kagome admitted as she pulled it out from the stack of the things she was carrying.

Inuyasha nodded after he ruffled Kagome's hair and chuckled when she tried swatting his hand way he walked to his locker after saying
"I'll be back."
Just as Inuyasha got there, he stopped and snarled. His ears were pinned back to his head,
'great! Not them, WHY!? KAMI!? WHY!? DO YOU FUCKING HATE ME OR SOMETHING? CAUSE IT SURE AS HELL SEEMS LIKE IT,' He thought angrily.
The three skanks came strutting his way.
Kikyou had on a very tight red and white, too-low V-neck long-sleeved shirt, a very short skirt that could pass off as a headband, black wedges, bow and arrow earrings, and a matching choker, her blackish-purple hair was pulled into a low ponytail, and she also had a smokey eye look with dark red lipstick.
Yura was wearing a very short black dress that was cut in the middle, showing her breasts and it had slits at the sides, very high heels, red skull earrings, and her short black hair was pulled back by a red headband. She also had on blue eyeshadow, black eyeliner, dark red lip gloss, and dark red nail polish.
Kagura had on a white crop top with black wording saying 'free like the wind.' It was showing off her silver feather belly ring, black skinny jeans with holes in the knee, black and white ankle boots, she had on light pink eyeshadow and light red lipstick, and her dark brown hair was in a high ponytail with a feather in it.
After Inuyasha was done glaring at them, he scowled and tried to look exceedingly busy. He hoped they would just walk on by and not bother him, as unlikely as that sounded.
'They better STAY… THE HELL... AWAY FROM ME.' He snarled as he thought. His body was getting tense.

"Inu-baby, I heard that you had a little fight with Naraku?" Kikyou said in a fake pained tone.

"Now we know you didn't mean anything by that, Inu," Yura said while taking Inuyasha's hair in-between her fingers. Inuyasha growled and slapped her hand away and yelled.
"DON'T YOU FUCKING TOUCH ME! I DON'T WANT EITHER OF YOU WHORES TOUCHING ME!" Inuyasha's muscles were getting tighter and his body was shaking slightly. He tried to turn back to his locker and began fidgeting with his lock, trying to get it open. He felt Yura tug on his hair again and one of them grabbed his shoulders and rubbed on them, all the way down his arms which made every little hair on his body stand up.

"I said DON'T FUCKING TOUCH ME!" He yelled as he snatched his hair away and took a step to the side to see that Kikyo had been the one to rub upon his shoulders.

"Oh Inu-baby, if you don't want us touching you, then why are you still here?" Yura's voice was sickeningly sweet as she spoke. It almost made Inuyasha want to dry-heave at how disgusting she sounded with it.

"I… I gotta get my books." He said, but it made them smirk as they went closer towards him. Inuyasha felt one their hands grabbing, well, more like squeezing his crotch. He yelped, jumped, and then yelled, "I SAID DON'T TOUCH ME! DAMN IT."

With Kagome
Kagome had walked to their next class with Sango and Miroku. She sat down with them and they were waiting for Inuyasha, but with a minute until the bell would ring, he still wasn't there.

"I'm gonna go see what's taking him," Kagome explained and Miroku and Sango nodded at her as they went back to copying the day's assignments into their agendas. Kagome got up and left the room and started for her locker, where Inuyasha's was right next to. She was still walking when she finally found him. She was immediately pissed. She saw a girl with short black hair touching Inuyasha's crotch without his permission! Inuyasha may not be Kagome's boyfriend, but he is her friend. She would not let him be violated like that! Not ever! He was already tormented by that bastard Naraku and now these girls were harassing him too? This was not okay, not in the slightest.

Kagome's inner rage really came out when she heard Yura say in a lustful tone,
"Oh, come now Inubaby, you used to love it when I would touch you there or anywhere." She was about to touch his chest next. Inuyasha backed away with a growl and that was when Kagome made her presence known. She got in front of Inuyasha and shoved Yura to the floor and yelled,
"BITCH! DIDN'T HE JUST TELL YOU NOT TO TOUCH HIM!? AND THAT GOES FOR ALL OF YOU!"
Kagura just stood by the lockers looking at her nails with a bored expression. Kagome could tell that she didn't want any part of this so she looked at the other two with a scowl.
"OH, SO IT'S OK FOR A SLUT LIKE YOU TO!?" Yura sneered while getting up off the floor.

everyone in the hallway stopped.
Kikyou got up in Kagome's face and yelled,
"YEAH! IT'S NOT FAIR THAT HE LETS YOU TOUCH HIM, BUT WHEN WE DO IT'S LIKE WE'RE TRASH! WELL, WE GOT NEWS FOR YOU, THE ONLY TRASH WE SEE HERE IS A MIXED BREED WHORE WHO'S A FUCKING STRIPPER. YEAH WE CAN TELL THAT YOU'RE NOT FULLY JAPANESE BITCH, BECAUSE NONE OF US REAL ASIAN WOMEN HAVE GIANT HIPS OR LARGE TITS AND FOR YOU TO HAVE THE SO CALLED HONOR TO TOUCH SOMEONE THAT DOESN'T BELONG TO YOU SURE SAYS A LOT! DON'T YA THINK!? I MEAN COME ON, YOU FUCKED NARAKU AND HIS FRIENDS, BUT APPARENTLY THEY WEREN'T ENOUGH FOR YOU, SO YOU HAVE TO GO AND TRY TO STEAL OTHER WOMEN'S MEN? LIKE HOW YOU'RE TRYING TO STEAL KOGA FROM AYAME AND INUYASHA FROM US!? WELL I GUESS IT'S TRUE WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT MIXED BITCHES, THEY'LL DO ANYTHING FOR MALE ATTENTION. I BET YOU EVEN CHARGE THEM LIKE THE SLUT YOU ARE, ISN'T THAT RIGHT? KA-HOE-ME!"
Everyone was silent, Inuyasha was pissed,
'HOW DARE THAT BITCH SAY THAT ABOUT KAGOME, I'll TEAR THAT BITCH APART!' With that thought, he was about to yell at Kikyou until…
**BAM**
Kagome slammed Kikyou to the locker and then yelled in her face, "HOW FUCKING DARE YOU! YOU DON'T FUCKING KNOW SHIT ABOUT ME! YOU DON'T FUCKING KNOW WHAT I'VE FUCKING BEEN THROUGH! YOU FUCKING DON'T KNOW ANYTHING! SO DON'T YOU FUCKING SAY SHIT THAT YOU DON'T FUCKING UNDERSTAND! AND AS FOR KOGA, I DON'T WANT HIM, NOR DO I FUCKING WANT NARAKU! AND LAST TIME I FUCKING CHECKED, INUYASHA IS FREE TO CHOOSE WHO HE FUCKING WANTS AND IT SURE AS HELL IS NOT YOU THREE, AND HE IS MY FRIEND AND AS A FRIEND I WILL PROTECT HIM AND THAT MEANS FROM YOU THREE! SO HOW FUCKING DARE YOU THINK YOU KNOW ME WHEN YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW THE BASIC FUCKING FACTS?! AND NO I AIN'T NO FUCKING PROSTITUTE UNLIKE YOU BITCH AND OH! AND BY THE MOTHER FUCKIN' WAY MY NAME IS KAGOME, KA-**BAM**GO-**BAM**-ME!"
**BAM**

Kagome slammed Kikyou against the locker again with each syllable of her name.
Kagome's powers began to flare and it was a lot stronger than it was in Ms. Kaede's office. The lockers and the doors were opening and closing, the glass began shattering, and this time her short hair was now back to its old long length before she had cut it and was floating up around her. Her eyes and body were glowing black with a hint of pink sparks, she could feel all of her bruises on her face, neck, body, the pain in her vagina, and her mostly healed cuts on her hand healing. Inuyasha tried getting to her, but her power was so out of control that it pushed him back a couple of feet when he reached her. He even tried calling out her name and telling her to stop, but she didn't hear him. This was bad, Inuyasha had to stop her before she did something she would regret.

'Damn it, this isn't good!' Inuyasha thought before he began texting Miroku and Sango.

from: Inuyasha
"GET KAEDE! DON'T ASK QUESTIONS JUST GET HER AND TELL HER TO COME TO THE C WING NOW!
TELL HER THAT IT'S KAGOME AND THAT HER POWERS ARE OUT OF CONTROL AND I CAN'T GET HER TO CALM DOWN."

The other two skanks and everyone in the hall were terrified. Everyone's eyes went wide at what happened next.
BAM! Kikyo went flying against the lockers.

"WHO'S THE WHORE NOW, HUH!?" Kagome had completely lost herself to her rage. Kagura was watching the entire thing. She shook her head and sighed, she told Kikyou this would happen, but did she listen? Nope, so she walked away while Yura ran to Kikyou's side.
Inuyasha just looked dumbfounded as he stared at Kagome.
She had just thrown Kikyou across the hall, to another locker, denting it and with the amount of force she threw Kikyou, Kagome may have just killed her.

A/N: Whoa, things really are starting to heat up. Kagome is pissed beyond belief and she's taking no prisoners this time. SHE IS NOT taking any bull shit from anyone anymore.
