Her clouded mind began to lift and her eyes shot open. The smell of smoke and the clatter of a glass placed on a table made her jerk up right. She sat there on a bed, and stared at her hands. It was raining, she mused thinking back on the last thing she remembered. She didn't bother to look around the room but recollect her memories. Though as her hand reflexively streaked through her hair, she came up short.

"What the-" It was like a dream or something because as she kept of running her hands through her hair, it would only reach up to her ears. Her eyes widened as her once long, silky jet-black hair was in a pile on the wooden floor. She couldn't believe it for a second but as she stared at her cut clumps of hair on the floor, she panicked. The smoke that she smelled made her eyes wonder the room and right there, sitting on a chair beside the bed, was the man that picked her up.

His long braided hair was slung over his shoulder, setting along side the front of his chest. He held a passive gaze, his back bent forward as he propped his elbows on his knee, folding his hands in front of him. The whole expression, and the way the cigarette laid smoothly between his fingertips were all recognizable. She shuddered involuntarily as he got up off of his seat.

"Kagome, Kagome, Kagome." He said slowly as his eyes fixed directly at her, putting the cig on the ash tray set on the night stand.

"My-My hair."

He let out a laugh and stared at the pile of strands on the floor. "I cut it. You like it. It suits you anyway."

She was scared and the fear was obviously noticeable. The only thing that was in her mind was to just run away but she couldn't. She trembled, she feared him but she just couldn't leave, he was family.

"B-Brother. How did you find-"

"How else did I find you Kagome? Dad told me and he also told me things that I really didn't want to hear." He went around the bed and sat beside her, his hands placed on her thigh. The utmost comfort was not felt when her brother was around her. When she was 13 she would always try to hide from him. Try to get away from the house as much as possible just to escape him. Her father lived in Kyoto as well as her brother but now her fears have come back.

"B-Bankotsu. I thought the company, you-"

"You mean my famous Trading Company along side the music business. I've transferred right here in Tokyo. Are you disappointed?" The room she was in was big, the canopied bed was huge and it was a lap of luxury. Bankotsu was a successful trader in a high business that paid very good money. He would have enough…wait…more than enough money to save their mother but he got the job years after her mother's death. He was 16 at the time their mother died and now that's he's 23, he had everything he ever wanted, a gorgeous house in Kyoto and from the looks of it this place she was in was his house as well. He had money…a large amount of money but even with everything he had, he still didn't leave her alone.

"Why did you cut my hair? Why did-"

He gripped her short hair and slammed her back onto the bed, anger evident in his eyes. "You're such an idiot. Dad's a fucking idiot for letting you do this. Fucking dressing like a guy just to sing. What is there to prove huh? Mom's dead, I can provide you with money but you still do this shit."

"I want to sing. Why does it matter to you?" He smirked and his eyes scanned every inch of her body. He licked his lips before attaching them onto her neck. Bankotsu always over powered her as a child. He was despicable, disgusting and also unable to get away from. He controlled her, kissed her whenever he wanted even if she was his sister, he wouldn't care. He had no morals and he was shameless for the things he did.

"You know I don't care what people think." He said between kisses, trailing his lips on to her shoulder. "But if it affects my company and the people I work with than it does grab my attention."

"What does the company have to do with me?" She tried and control her excessive trembling but it couldn't' be helped. For two years he's been gone, she was away from the unwanted affections he showed her. Though, now that he was back, she now had to get use to these stupid kisses again.

"You're dressing up as a guy just to sing for Shikon Records. If you get caught lieing, you'll be fired and I will as well." He pulled his lips away from the nape of her neck and glared down at her.

"No you won't. Why don't you just leave me alone?"

"As if I could. Get it through your head Kagome. If they find out that the up coming singer Ryo Takuya's a girl than they'll get your real name and they'll know mine. I'm a part of there company. Producing the labels and sending them out, I'm apart of all that. If they find out your secret than I'm dead and I'm not going to put up with that. To make it short, I'm not going to leave your side, you got it."

It was clear that he was going to be here but she clenched her hand into a fist and bit her bottom lip. She tried so hard to not say any thing that might anger him but temptation let out as well as her anger.

"All you care about is yourself. I don't fucking care about your stupid company. I'm not stupid as to get caught. Dad believes in me and I believe in myself so fuck off."

He was set aback at her words that shot out at him so easily. "You better watch your tongue." He warned, digging his fingers into her shoulder eliciting a yelp from her.

"Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you…. I'm not going to shut up anymore. I'm 19 and I've learned to stand up for myself. No ones going to push me around and that include you." His hand reached out to grasp Kagome's chin. He smirked slightly when she tried to bite him, and merely dug his nails into the sides of her jaw. As she whimpered, he stopped his assault, merely holding her wounded face.

Bankotsu's cold eyes stared down at her, faint amusement still seen, mocking Kagome's reaction as if she was nothing. "You seem to develop quite a tongue. You keep it up I'll cut it out."

She held her dark gaze regardless of the pain that emitted from her chin. The faint glimmer of sheer pleasure in his eyes caused her to smirk. She didn't care what would happen to her anymore.

"Go ahead. Let's see if you have the guts." Kagome struggled to get out of his grasp but that caused his patience to dissipate. He slammed his hand onto her neck, choking her as he reached into his back pocket and revealed a pocketknife. She shuddered but held a smirk with confidence evident in her dark eyes.

Though, she felt a spark of fear run throughout her body as the knife laid upon her bottom lip, pressure applied. "Go ahead Kagome. Say something I dare you."

They both stared at on another straight on. Their gazes were piercing but she showed no fear. Nothing could be done and staying quiet seemed to be the best thing as he smirked and shoved the pocketknife back into his pocket.

"That whole defiant tone will all go away. You will belong to me sister. It's all a matter of breaking you." He moved toward her, roughly placing his lips up against hers. His fingers traced a thin line down Kagome's cheek. The blood from the wound he inflicted on her streaked down her neck. This feeling of being over powered was awful but she had to put up with it. She felt the hand around her neck clasp her jaw tightly causing her to open her mouth, his tongue entering moments later.

She cringed with a slight groan to try and breath. If she pushed him away he would react violently and take a hold of her wrists. If she tried and yelled he would shove his tongue to the back of her throat. Her mind haze from the lack of oxygen she was receiving and
Bankotsu didn't fail to notice as he pulled away.

"It's just a matter of time." He said with a smirk.

She glared up at him, catching her breath. "I…will… never…" The torturing smirk on his face was profound with menacing intentions. Though she held her glaring gaze. "…break."

"Let's just see." He kissed her forcefully once again before standing and making his way to the cigarette that was set on the nightstand. She watched his every movement with wary eyes. As he placed his cigarette between his lips and inhaled, she just wished that cancerous drug would kill him. But as always he would exhale a cloud of smoke and sit on the chair, his shoulders in ease every time he would inhale that smoke.

"Stupid jerk." She looked down at the clothes she was wearing and cringed. With the baggy shirt and shorts it was obvious that he hand changed her while she slept. She would have rather slept with soaked clothes but it couldn't be helped. It was already done and with that she threw the covers off of her and walked toward the door.

Her fingers laid upon the doorknob but it froze in place as a loud boom rang out in the room. The hole that was inches away from her head, went through the door she was going to open. Her hands shook as she turned and looked at the gun in his hand. As he calmly set the gun lazily to his side, he placed the cig in his mouth.

"Sit down sister. I don't want you to leave yet." For a split second she thought about refusing his offer. They were family unfortunately but that meant he would never have the guts to shoot her. It was beyond him but she didn't want to chance it. He would try aim for her shoulder or her leg to stop her instead of killing her. He was crazy as it is and she just compiled to his order, taking a seat on the bed.

"What do you want?"

"What do you think?"

She faced the door as her back faced him. "I don't know what the fuck you want. I want to go so hurry it up."

It was cute how she thought that she would leave. But he just smiled and walked calmly to the window. He stared at the setting sun and opened the window, flicking the cigarette out of it. Kagome just stared at the door that would lead to her escape but she knew what was coming.

"You know what I want and I want you. So why don't you lay back in the bed and relax." She didn't have time to think about it. He was already in front of her, pushing her onto the bed and straddled her hips, laying her arms above her head. He was on top of her, kissing her lips and sucking on her pulse. The only thing he elicited out of her was slight moans but he was aroused as the corner of his lips lifted.

"Stop." She said calmly, turning her head as she refused his lips from connecting her own. But as expected he compiled as he rolled off of her and laid beside her. His arms wrapped around her, resting his chin on her shoulder as he got comfortable. He just laid there, snuggling with her as she just looked up at the ceiling.

She was his sister but he didn't care. Bankotsu didn't do anything to her but kiss her and snuggle up against her but it was still wrong. She hated it but she couldn't escape it. She laid there motionless, wishing that this night would just end.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

"Kagome hasn't come back home yesterday. Do you think she'll see the note?" Sango perched her chin against the palm of her hand and stared at the angered guitarist. Kohaku was coming any minute and Inuyasha didn't care but Sango did. This was there last chance for a recording but as they sat in the conference room Inuyasha grunted.

"She'll come back, read the note and she'll be here. If not than the bands over, Rapture's over so there."

"You're so cruel you know that?"

Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "It's Kagome's dreams to make this band, we're just here to help out and if she doesn't help herself than this was never meant to be." He glanced at his watch and sighed.

"She's going to show and when she does-" Symontaniously, the door opened and Kagome barged in with the palest face of all time. She looked drained, her short hair was not even combed and to make it simple she… that will now be dub as a he looked horrible.

"You look tired Ryo. Never got any sleep?" Sango inquired.

"Not really." He said weakly with a hoarse tone. As her brother slept comfortable beside him, he stayed awake the whole time. He didn't want to sleep and that really did show as Ryo fell back into a chair and snores immediately filtered the room. Inuyasha and Sango shared a look before glancing back at the sleeping Ryo.

"What's up with her?" Inuyasha inquired.

"How should I know?"

"You're a girl. Do you girl's sleep so fast like that?"

"Of course not Inuyasha. She must have been up all night and-"

"I hope Ryo's here because if he isn't-" Kohaku stopped mid-way, staring at the sleeping teen. He kept a composed look as he strode purposely towards him. With his clipboard tucked under his arm, he took a hold of it and hit the man across the head. Kohaku was expecting a yelp from him but snores were just heard. After a couple of constant strikes to the head, he still didn't budge.

"I'll wake him up Kohaku." Inuyasha distressfully stood up and made his was toward the sleeping dimwit. He placed his lips close to his ear and took a deep breath.

"Asaka's coming!" He yelled and Ryo shot open his eyes, alert of his surroundings and hid behind Inuyasha. With fear, he darted his eyes around the room but he just received blank stares. Ever since his ordeal with Asaka in the elevator, she grew quite annoyed by the lead singer. Ever time he saw him, Asaka would be strolling along and clinging to him like a mosquito.

"Now that you're alert. Take a seat Ryo." Kohaku cleared his throat and took a seat at the end of the table. Inuyasha received a wicked glare from Ryo as the both of them took a seat as well.

Ryo still felt a bit fatigue but he held his head up against his hand and stared at Kohaku. "So for our first concert we'll-"

"Before you go on." Inuyasha said dryly. "It's our concert not yours Kohaku." Sango as well as Ryo snapped their heads towards Inuyasha but Kohaku just ignored it. Kohaku and Inuyasha didn't like each other obviously but for all of this to work they had to get along. Kohaku could have just split from the group and kick them into the streets but he had faith in the groups talent.

"Well Inuyasha. If you're heated up, why don't you get out side and be our watch dog." Kohaku smirked while Inuyasha growled and crossed his arms. He didn't budge and Kohaku leaned back in his chair and continued. "Even though we didn't set a record out, the head chairman of the company intends we communicate with the other band members of Shikon Records. So with that, the band Ryokotsu will be going to Hawaii with another band while you guys will go to Kyoto with-"

"Please don't' tell me we're going to be stuck with Ryokotsu." Inuyasha stated.

"No you will not. If you just listen and shut your mouth I'll have a chance to explain myself. Well with that you'll be going to spend the weekend at the hot springs with Linear light. Which contains, the pianist Kikyo, the drummer Miroku, the lead singer Asaka and the lyricist Sesshomaru." Ryo sat up like rapid fire but a slam of Inuyasha's hands caught Ryo's attention as he stood up as well.

"What do you mean Sesshomaru? I'm fucking refusing to go to that-"

"If you refuse than you'll be kicked out of the band. The head chairman insist on the band members to get along and the whole trip is funded so agree or step out."

Everyone in the room stared at one another as Ryo took a seat. "Come on you guys. Just the weekend and we can relax without worrying about money. When we come back we'll record and hit the top so how about it?" Everyone had their doubts about this so called trip.

"On the contrary Ryo. You'll be recording in Kyoto so you'll release the CD before you guys leave. So you guys in?" Ryo slammed his fist on the table and smiled as Inuyasha rolled his eyes at the action.

"We're in!"

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
