Disclaimer - I don't own Inuyasha... DO YOU OWN INUYASHA? No, didn't think so... I also don't own "My Blue Heaven" Taking Back Sunday does...

A/N: Chapter 22, I hate leaving things that are cliff-like on an odd numbered chapter... Don't ask, it's a weird pet peeve of mine, I know... but I hate it. So, I made this chapter AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! Lol I know, you hate/love me. That's all good, just as long as there's always the love.

The song for this chapter is "My Blue Heaven" which is by Taking back Sunday. (Please listen to as you read. You don't have to look at the lyrics as the song goes on but just ya know read with the music on if ya can, thanks.)

Kagome awoke in an empty hotel room. The only things inside of the room was the bed, the small kitchen and kitchen island, and small tan couch which she was on. A strange throbbing in her head was affecting her thinking. She couldn't remember how she'd gotten there or who'd taken her. A clock was on the ugly green wall and she checked the time. It was 9:34 PM. She touched her head where the throbbing was the most and breathed in at the pain she felt as her fingers grazed the bump on her forehead. Suddenly, memories flooded through her mind. Inuyasha, scrape, bench, dad, her father taking her and whacking her. She gasped as each came in fast pictures. Where was she? Where was her father? Where was Inuyasha, Miroku, Kouga, Sango, and Lexi? What was happening? Those questions all ran through her mind at once and she saw a barrel next to the couch and began to throw up. It was too much to take in at once, an emotional overload. She started to put two and two together and realized her father had hit her with a blunt object on the head and dragged her to his own apartment. She didn't know where he was or what he was going to do to her. She knew he'd do something, that was inevitable. There was a loud knock at the door. She was confused but got up and answered it. Her father was standing there, drunk and exhausted.

"Wha...?" Kagome began but he whacked her with the glass beer bottle that was in his hand. A piece had cracked on her skull and she was surprised she didn't pass out again. Her blood began to spill on the carpet and her father swore under his breath. It would look very suspicious but who the hell would care? He was at an awful low-life motel and the owner had gone to the bar with him, no one would know. He slammed the door shut and was suddenly awake.

"Kagome, what were you thinking?" He asked her. She shook her head because she didn't really understand his question. "What were you doing at the fair?" He asked, his voice rising with each word. She shook slightly as he spoke but didn't answer him. "What, cat got your tongue or something?" He asked roughly while he went to the small refrigerator and pulled out another beer bottle. "Well?" Kagome sat up on the couch and took a deep breath. What was she going to say, mother told me it was okay to go? That would just make her mother in trouble. She decided to stay silent and endure her pain for her mother. Her father then pulled out something from his pocket and walked over to the sitting Kagome. "Kagome," She looked at him and he smiled cruelly. "I wanted to show you some family pictures." He turned over to photos, one of Souta and one of her mother. They were past out on the floor, looking even more beaten then any time before. Her mother's body was in a sickly way with arms this way and that and her eyes were shut with blood seething out of her left one. Her lips were red with blood as well and her arm had hand prints and bruises trailed all the way down. Her brother was laying on his back with his eyes shut as well and he was very pale. He had cuts and bruises all over his body. Her father had purposely taken his shirt off to show Kagome his deathly bruises. One was bleeding and he looked like he'd been crying because wet streaks were on his cheeks. Kagome felt like she was going to die just looking at the photos.

(Music starts now... lol)

Two sides twist and then collide
You're calling off the guards (Am I coming?)
I'm coming through (Am I coming?)

"Did you..." Kagome found herself asking. He laughed evilly.

Adulteress conditioned to a spin cycled submission
You know, sometimes it just feels better to give in
(Sometimes it just feels better to give in)

"Did I what, precious?" He asked tauntingly. Kagome began to cry.

And it's all too familiar
And it happens all the time
All the cards begin to stack up
Twisting heartache into fine little pieces that avoid an awful crime
But it's you I can't deny (You I can't deny)

"Did you kill them?" She asked angrily through her tears. More awful laughing came and she wanted to puke once more. "You didn't... YOU EVIL BASTRAD!" Kagome went to get up and slap him but he punched her in the stomach first.

"Don't worry bitch, I didn't kill them... yet." He told her and a wave of relief passed through her. Kagome was strong again in some ways. Just knowing that they were alive was wonderful. "Now it's your turn," He said with another punch to her stomach. She threw up the little that was left in her stomach onto the floor. He laughed at her struggling.

Dull heat rises from the sheets
I'm both a patient boy and a jealous man (Am I coming?)

My double standardized suspicion is remedied
Oh my blue Heaven
Sometimes it just feels better to give in
(Sometimes it just feels better to give in)

"Oh my God, you're" He punched her again and she sucked on the air. "Insane." She told him, staring straight into his eyes. He cackled once again and pounded her body harder and harder, each punch with another maniac laugh.

And it's all too familiar
And it happens all the time
All the cards begin to stack up
Twisting heartache into fine little pieces that avoid an awful crime
But it's you I can't deny (You I can't deny)

'God help me...' Kagome thought to herself, clinging onto nothing for dear life.

We swing and we sway as this tiny voice in my head starts to sing
"You're safe child, you are safe" (You're safe child, you are safe)
You're safe child, you are safe

Meanwhile, the others all gathered at their hotel. Inuyasha was pacing back and forth along with Kouga and Miroku who were freaking out on the inside but looked calm and collected on the outside.

"Did her father look mean?" Sango asked, out of the blue. Inuyasha froze where he was.

'What if he's the one who does that to her... shit, shit, shit!' He thought.

"Shit..." He said aloud then ran out the hotel door. Miroku and Kouga followed.

We swing and we sway as this tiny voice in my head starts to sing
"You're safe child, you are safe"

"Where're we going?" Kouga asked him. Inuyasha didn't even know so, he stopped running.

"I don't..." He fell the floor and just sat there.

"Wha...?" Miroku questioned. "Let's go outside." He suggested.

You're safe child, you are safe
(Safe, safe, safe)
You are safe

"She's going to... die." He whispered to himself.

We swing and we sway as this tiny voice in my head starts to sing
"You're safe child, you are safe"
(Am I coming through? Am I…?)
Coming through?

He was finally through with her and she was barely conscious. He passed out immediately and she struggled with all her might to get up.

Is this all too familiar?
Does it happen all the time?

Once she was on her knees, she crawled over to the door, opened it, and crawled out. She had to leave as soon as possible. She was making slight moans of pain but she didn't hear them, the only thing she knew was that she had to leave.

I'm just askin you to hear me
Could you please, just once, just hear me?

Soon she reached the outside door and smiled slightly, seeing that her hotel was just down a hill and across the street. She weekly got up and walked out the door.

More than anything you wanted to be right
Still it's you, you, it's you I can't deny (You I can't deny)

She saw Miroku, Kouga, and Inuyasha. Each were pacing outside the front of the hotel.

"Inuyasha..." She whispered. She weakly began to go down the hill and cross the street.

It's you I can't deny…

All three soon noticed a bloody Kagome. They ran over to her faster then ever.

"Kagome.." Inuyasha said smiling sadly at her. She looked at him in the eyes and hugged him while she cried into his chest. "Let's go." He picked her up bridal style and they all walked back into the hotel, happy she was back but scared at how she looked. What had happened to her?

Well, made it the best I could... lol plz review.
