Summary: Too lazy to care about repeating it. If you want to read it the just go back to the main page and do it!! I'm too lazy!!

Chapter 2

Her attention was snapped over to a snickering Kikyo, only to notice her brother was no longer there. She felt violent, shallow breathing sink below her neck and seep into her very bones as she slowly turned around to find her brother looming over her. And, boy, he looked pissed!

As if in slow motion, Kagome watched as Souta raised his hand and backhanded her so hard that the force threw her into the wall, the momentum making pictures that were hanging there fall around her now slumped form. Sesshomaru was standing and kneeling down by Kagome before anyone could blink. There was a crack in the wall that ran all the way up to the ceiling and all dead silence was broken by Kikyo's hysterical laughter. It sounded worse than witch's evil cackle and almost made Sesshomaru's ears bleed.

Kagome mechanically stood up and dusted herself up, her spirit broken. He had finally hit her. After all his threats he had finally hit her just because she was who she was. He used to always stand up for her and threaten others to be nice to her or he'd them up himself. There's no possible way this is her brother. She gazed up at him to see the shocked expression lingering there before it turned into a malicious grin.

"I told you not to call Kikyo a bitch, or disobey her, Kagome. You knew I would do that someday." He scowled down at his so-called sister as the tears coursed down her cheeks, the one having a gigantic bruise already forming glimmered mercilessly.

Turning around, Kagome slowly assessed the damage before clapping her hands once. She placed them on the wall and electricity shot out, quickly fixing it before she put the pictures back on the wall. As quietly as she came, she left, walking up to her room that was up the stairs and down to the right, leaving a laughing Kikyo, a satisfied Souta, and a livid Sesshomaru. Feeling hollow beyond belief, she walked into her room before shutting the door quietly behind her, being gratefully captured in the darkness that seems to be her life lately.

Gazing happily around her room, she had to admit. The pink had dimmed the great concept of her walls. Now its as black as the shadows and there was these beautiful ivy green intricate patterns of her own design. The carpet is the most softest whites imaginable, letting her shoes sink deeply as if it was trying to suck her into the very depths of the carpet. Slipping her feet out of her shoes, she picked them up and placed them near her bed that was blanketed in an ivy green comforter. Among the ivy comforter was one of her pets. She's a gorgeous siamese kitty around the age of 5 months with scarily pretty sapphire eyes. Baby's fur was the color of white with strange black intricate patterns entwining together around her eyes, her being a demon kitty, she can turn into a giant saber cat. Laying beside Baby was a black and ivy green dragon by the name of Talon. He has breathtaking leaf green eyes and he also has these strange intricate black patterns against his ivy green scales that ended around his eyes. The last pet standing on its famous pride perch (lol say that 5 times fast!) with her endless pools of pearl red eyes staring worriedly at her master. Valken had black wings as strong as steel wrapped around her body and connected the other intricate patterns across from each other from opposite wings, before she spread them wide just to stretch and probably to show off more intricate patterns (notice she loves intricate patterns .)

Sighing in a depressed way, Kagome sat down on her almost too inviting, cloud soft bed and gazed around her very empty room. Its empty because she trains in her room. A while ago she had found this spell to make the inside of her room bigger, while the outside remained the same. Since she had wanted a place to train without on lookers she had transmutation circles all over her room, even some for her doors as they'd be a nuisance with fixing if she accidentally broke it. Closing her eyes, she rested her throbbing head in hers hands, feeling like have a well-deserved pity cry.

With the two jobs that she had, she was paid handsomely well, almost too well but she knew what she did was justice. She knew people at school often wondered why she was so cold and unbreakable when she was without her friends that were like a second family to her. But when they were there she was very nice and kind...to them anyway. not to the outsiders that had continuously been mean to her in grade school just because her taste in just about everything was different. She was cold now because she wouldn't be the well known Hell Heaven Assassin in secret of course and the Shadow Demon Alchemist if she wasn't. Dropping her hands to her knees, she gazed dully around her room, secretly wishing to have someone to let her lean on to his shoulder and cry without having them feeling disgusted the whole time.

Sighing, she stood up and walked toward a transmutation circle, clapped once and placed her hand in the middle of the circle. Immediately, her hand was engulfed in electricity once again and when it cleared, her kickass stereo system. Sleek chrome and pitch black, chest exploding speakers place all around the room. Placing a few CD's in the 100 CD changer, she rocked her head to the beat of Boogie Woogie Wu by ICP and just as she was about to crank her music up their was a knocking at her door, making her stiffen. Slowly, she unwound her aura and gently searched the one standing on the other side of the wooden barrier. Her body quickly relaxed when she figured it was Sesshomaru. They were prolly gonna go around the city tonight and 'help' the police with murderers and other such criminals so he probably just came to make sure they were on for tonight.

Letting a very unnoticeable smile grace her features, she used her mind to open the door and was surprised to find him standing there with bloody knuckles, a cut lip and a bungling blue eye. 'Well, what the fuck happened to him?' she asked herself, only quirking a brow in question as he closed the door behind him as he marched forward and cupped her face. He turned her head this way and that before he let some of his youki sink into her flesh, slowly and painlessly getting rid of the nasty black and purple bruise that was on her once unmarked face.

When she felt the pain ebbing away, she closed her eyes in sweet bliss. Bliss to have 'her' god near her, and the bliss of the throbbing finally stopping. When she opened her eyes, he was unnaturally close and seemed to be getting closer. She reached up and traced the still swelling eye and let her finger draw a circle around his closed eye, healing his own pain in return for him healing hers. But she moved that index finger to his lip and healed that before lifting his hands up to her eyes so she could see how badly they were in need of healing. not too bad, but she'd heal them anyway. She placed one hand over both of them and closed her eyes in quiet concentration. When she felt the torn flesh renew itself, she let her eyes travel back up to his intense gaze before...
