Chapter 21

I sat there in the corner of the room in a ball i cried and cried till it felt almost impossible for me to cry more. I didn't know why but seeing Hojo again made me feel sick. It was unsettling that he was there i thought that part of my life was over. Why must i suffer so, seeing him brought back images of my past that i tried to put behind me. But no matter how hard i try to move forward it seems to haunt me.

"Ugh i'm never going to be able to forget what happened but seeing Hojo is not helping me. Does he know what happened? Stupid question why else would he be there idiot" Kagome said i laid there curled up in the corner and just layed there. I had no plans of coming out of the room anytime soon or if ever.

As i laid there i thought of my visit with Shippo and how much i missed him and Rin and the others. I dozed off shortly after that it's just too much for me to handle right now.

Inuyasha

"That was strange, i wonder what is wrong with her?" Inuyasha asked

Ginta was standing there next to him with a confused look on his face. He obviously don't know either. Her attitude and emotions switched so fast but from what. Is it the new guy is that the one that she called Hojo. I just stood there looking at the spot that she was standing in only minutes before.

Something isn't right about this,why would she get so upset and run away like that is that what she was doing when she ran into me was she going back to the car.

"Hey do you know anything about that guy?" Inuyasha asked nodding his head towards Agent Yamanaka and the other guy that was standing next to him.

"No nothing I didn't even know that we were getting new people on the case. From the way Kagome acted I'm starting to wonder if he is bad news. She has never acted like that and it's strange for me to see it.

"I see well I guess we can go talk to agent Yamanaka and the try and get to know the new guy I guess."Inuyasha said.

Even though he is a new member on the team he felt as if he had known Hakkaku and Kagome his whole life.

'Why do I feel so protective over her I barely know her. It was the same way when We was at the group home. I felt the need to protect her. Chuckling to himself, well i guess she had my back a few times too.'

We walked over to agent Yamanaka who then started making his introduction,

"Hello I would like to introduce you to you new team mates. Hakkaku,Ginta,jakotsu these two here will be working with you all for a while this is Hojo." He said pointing to a tall man with brown hair he looked about in his mid twenties.

"This here is Inuyasha Taisho he and his brother helped us early on with this case. I felt it would benefit us to bring them back in to help us. With the latest indecent we are on high alert." the agent looked over at me,

"I will brief you in a moment on what happened. She trust no one but Hakkaku and Ginta but being you have worked with her and got close to her I figured that you would be a good contribution to have." he said looking around.

Trying to spot the raven haired woman.

Hakkaku explained what happened which made Agent Yamanaka start questioning the man known as Hojo. Which I was happy about that.

"Hojo why would Kagome run away in tears after seeing you? He asked.

Hojo stood there a moment and thought about what was said to him.

" Well Agent Yamanaka I know her. I went to school with her and didn't live that far away from her before her family was killed. I took this job so I could be close to her again and make sure she was ok. I never knew what happened to her after what happened. There were rumors going around that she got locked up because she was the one that did it. Then there was one more that went around and it's been said that someone hired the people to do it because of some stuff her father was into before he left her mother." Hojo explained. I was rather shocked why on earth would people think that she killed her own family that seems so crazy to me.

Well things are not going the way that I planned then I didn't intend on a long drawn out introduction and a life story. I will have to notify boss that there have been rumors flying around about what happened maybe we can use them to our advantage. The silver haired one seems to be most interested in what's going on here and protecting her along with the wolves I will have to keep my eyes out for them. I was hoping this would be a lot more simple. Things are starting to get a little complicated I will have to hurry up and make my move.

" With these two new guys it's going to be an issue boss." the man said over the phone.

"You better get it done Naraku Will be there soon to help you finish the job. I'm tired of playing nice i want this girl dead bring her to me Now. so i can get what I want and kill her. this is taking to long"said the angry man on the phone.

"Sir you don't understand they brought in two more people that was why I called you getting to her is going to be even harder now. one of the guys knows her personally clams to have went to school with her before her family was killed. I was there she ran when she seen him and was crying. The other one is a half breed and he is the worse of the two he watches her like a hawk. he's familiar to me but I can't place where I seen him before." said the other voice.

"look I don't care kill them all I'm not going to wait much longer do you understand me said the boss. " where is the girl now"? he added

she ran inside the safe house when she seen hojo he's the guy she knew before all of this. from my understanding she locked herself in a room and isn't responding to anyone" he added.

"Get in there take her and bring her to me!" yelled the boss.

Looking around to make sure no one was around he headed back to the safe house. looking around to see if anyone was following him he headed for the back side of the house. the further he walked the more unsure he felt about this. 'Why? why does he have to do this? why did it matter? My life is on the line that's why i took this job knowing what I was going to get into there is no reason to back out now.

reaching the backside of the house he looked to see the position of the cameras he had to make sure he was in the blind spot.

The house was fairly large and he could see the cameras one was facing south and the other one was east he was in the clear. he climbed the tree next to the outer wall to get a better look. he could use this to gain access to her room. He got into position and was about to inch further down the branch when he saw movement in the room. He froze the half demon was in the room holding the girl in his arms this wasn't good.
