Hey everyone thanks for reviewing and again I'm sorry it took so long to get the last two chapters up, and I'm sorry it took so long to get this one up my computer is still busted and i haven't had any time to go to the library. From now on I'm going to try to keep the chapters as long as the last one but I can't make any promises. I hope you like the next chapter and review if you can. Thanks!

Chapter 6: The Get Away

I walked over and picked up an abandoned piece of paper on the floor and looked at a messy scribbled drawing of the tree that goes on stage left.

I picked up a pencil on the ground next to my foot and erased parts of the tree and drew in other things to help improve the drawing.

By the time I was done Rin and Kanna were looking over my shoulder at the newly improved drawing and ran off to get supplies ready to start building.

I looked around to find Inuyasha and Hiten whispering quietly to one another over on the side of the stage to my left.

I went to the booth and put on some techno music to listen to while we worked on the tree.

I went back to the stage to see Inuyasha and Hiten cutting one of the pieces of wood for the base of the tree.

I took the drawing from Rin and instructed them how to cut and put the wood together because I couldn't do anything myself.

When we were done we stood back in awe and gazed at our finished tree.

We all tried to imagine what it would look like when it was completely done.

We had about fifteen minutes and we all went into the audience to sit and relax before we had to go to our next class.

Inuyasha pulled me aside from the others and we stood in the far corner away from the stage.

We stood there for a few minutes before Inuyasha reached out and took my injured hand in his.

He gently ran his fingers down the splint as he looked at my face for any signs of pain.

He softly put my arm down and looked me over trying to uncover the hidden bruises beneath my long sleeves.

He reached out to me again and I took a step backwards and he lowered his arm with a look of sorrow in his eyes.

I reached out to him and took his hand in mine and we looked into each others eyes.

He embraced me in a gentle hug. I wrapped my arms around his waist without knowing it.

We stayed like that for a few seconds before I pulled away and stared at him in disbelief with wide eyes.

"Why?" I asked, "You know he'll find out that we just did that and what he'll do…"

I trailed off and looked away from him.

"I….I'm sorry," He said quietly,

"It's just that I was so worried about you I didn't know what to do…"

He grabbed my chin and made me look up to him in one swift motion.

After a few seconds I leaned back and tried to sit on the arm rest of the seat as pain from all my wounds shot through my body.

I flinched and Inuyasha came closer to me to try to help me.

The bell rang and we left the auditorium one at a time so we wouldn't draw any attention to ourselves.

I walked to art alone without any interruptions and went back to the chair I sat in yesterday and pulled out my iPod and all the things I needed to draw with.

Last but not least I pulled out the small folded up picture that I was drawing.

I put my headphones on and Blood by My Chemical Romance poured into my ears. Inuyasha came in and took the seat next to me and started to work on his drawing too.

The bell rang for lunch and everyone got up around me to either go to lunch or go to their next period class.

I stayed in during lunch and continued to work on the drawing until the last few minutes of class and I got up and walked to my next period class.

I went to the back of the class and put my head down as I waited for the tardy bell to ring and for the teacher to start teaching.

Our teacher walked in after the bell rang and started to lecture about polynomials and I slowly drifted off to sleep for rest of class.

I woke up to the sound of the bell ringing in my ears.

I lifted my head to find notes and a worksheet on my desk.

I picked them up and walked to my next period class, German. I went to the back of the class as usual and propped my head on my right hand as I started to nod off to sleep.

Before the bell rang I glanced over to the door to see Naraku walk in.

I sat as still as I could and held my breath as he walked past me and went to his seat to aisles over from me to the left.

I looked around to try to find someone I could move and sit next to but I unfortunately didn't know anyone in this class, like in most of my classes.

The teacher got up from his desk and walked to the board and started writing sentences for us to translate

I pulled out a piece of paper and started to copy the sentences down and then wrote them down how I translated them.

Our teacher walked around and examined our work but when he got to me he stopped and looked over my work thoroughly and smiled as he walked down the next row.

The rest of class went by very slow as I watched the clock slowly tick to the next second.

When the bell finally rang I got out of the class as fast as I could and ran down the hallway to get to my last period of the day.

I wasn't paying attention to where I was going and tripped in the hall and fell.

My stuff flew all around me but no one was in the usually crammed hall.

Someone kneeled down and started to help me pick up my books.

We stood up and he handed them to me and I looked into the eyes of Naraku. He stepped closer to me and I backed away until I was all the way back against the wall.

I held my breath as I looked around to try to find someone in the hall who could help me but it was still empty.

Naraku put his hand on my cheek and turned my head so we were almost nose to nose.

My breathing started to come in short shudders as his face inched towards mine. I squeezed my eyes shut as I waited for his lips to come in contact with mine.

When he didn't kiss me I opened my eyes to see him a little above me breathing heavily and his eyes closed.

He moved his hands to the wall on either side of me and put all his weight on them while he bowed his head and started to regain his breath.

He looked up at me with lust in his eyes and walked the opposite way from which my class was and continued my way to class.

I got to class right as the bell rang and went to my seat on the far side of the room.

Our teacher was going over the homework from the previous night and I just sat there and stared at the wall opposite from me.

When they were done my teacher started to right notes down on the board and the people around me took out paper and writing utensils and started copying it down.

She talked about how next week we would start our poetry unit and after we went over all the kinds of poems we would be learning we would have to pick one or two of them and write a ten line poem on a topic of our choice.

We would be getting the rubric next week but should start thinking about what we would write our poem on.

We finished our notes with ten minutes left in class and I put all my things away and laid my head down on my desk.

I closed my eyes and tried to relax knowing I would have to go back with Naraku to his house after school.

When the bell rang I slowly got up and walked to my locker and put away my backpack.

I closed my locker and walked down the hallway with my head down avoiding contact with anyone and everyone I saw.

I walked outside and around the school and sat down next to the sakura tree and waited for Naraku to come.

I leaned my back against the tree and closed my eyes.

Something fluttered across my vision and my heart raced as I opened my eyes expecting to see Naraku standing over me.

I looked around to see no one there but there was sakura lying on my lap.

I picked it up and held and held it in my hands as I laid back against the tree again and let out a sigh of relief.

Before long I heard someone walk up to me and stop.

I kept my eyes closed expecting it to be Naraku but when he didn't make any motion to move me I sat up and opened my eyes.

Before my eyes could focus to the person standing next to me something covered my eyes so I couldn't see.

I reached up to take it off but a pair of arms grabbed mine and put them at my sides while laying me down on the ground and sitting on top of me.

I started to panic as my heart began to race faster and faster.

I tried to scream but a damp cloth was placed over my mouth muffling any sound that came out.

I smelled chloroform on the cloth and tried my best to hold my breath while I twisted my body and kicked my legs in an attempt to free myself.

After I couldn't hold my breath any longer I had to start taking in breaths of the chloroform.

I started getting dizzy and it was getting harder and harder to try to break free.

I stopped moving as I got to the point that I was so dizzy I couldn't even think straight and right before I passed out I felt the person lift there wait off of me.

When I woke up I had a pounding headache and I was in a dark room laying on something soft.

I sat up and rubbed my head while I looked around into the darkness until something caught my eye.

There was a strip of light on the floor leaking in from outside the door.

I stood up and went over to the door and to my surprise it was unlocked.

I slowly and quietly opened the door just enough for me to look out.

I looked around for a minute before I gasped in surprise and swung the door open.

I looked around and my head started pounding even more making me close my eyes from the pain.

I reached out for the door frame and when I felt nothing but air I felt myself falling through the air.

I waited until I felt the impact of the ground but instead I was stopped by something soft and warm.

(She didn't fall that much she was like this  \ but a little more at an angle.)

I opened my eyes to see Inuyasha looking down at me with a caring expression on his face.

I pushed away from him and tried to stand but I moved to fast and I tripped and fell on my ass.

(Pardon my language.)

I sat on the floor and rubbed my head trying to rid myself of my accursed headache.

Inuyasha knelt down next to me and I looked at him.

"Are you okay?" He asked.

I nodded and once again tried to get up but this time Inuyasha put his hand on my shoulder and I sat back down on the floor.

He picked me up and carried me to the on the opposite side of the wall.

There was no music playing like there usually was and it seemed that we were the only ones in the room.

(Do you know where they are?? If you don't then shame on you.)

Inuyasha put me down on one of the couches and sat down next to me.

We sat in silence for a few minutes but my wrist started hurting and I tried to inch my other hand over to it without Inuyasha noticing but he had been looking at me and noticed and the expression changed on his face but I didn't dare to look at him.

"Does it hurt?" He asked.

"It's fine." I said trying to focus my attention on something elsewhere.

He moved a little closer and took my injured arm and held it in his.

"I know you say your fine but you need to be examined by someone.

I can smell a lot of blood on you which means your wounds aren't done bleeding yet and you need to have someone wrap you so you will heal faster."

He took my chin with his free hand and turned my face towards him so he could look into my eyes.

"My father, Sesshomaru, and Bankotsu are in another room talking but they should be out any minute."

I nodded and started thinking to myself trying to think of how I got here when it hit me.

"Wait…" I said causing Inuyasha to look at me.

"At school someone kidnapped me. What happened?! Who was it? Was it Naraku?"

I stood up frantically and started pacing in front of the couch.

"I don't understand why I'm here. I remember what happened at school I know it wasn't a dream…"

The more I said the more exasperated I became until Inuyasha stood up and grabbed me by the shoulders.

"Calm down," He said.

I looked at him like he were crazy and he laughed a little bit before he sat me back down. He grabbed my uninjured hand I waited for him to explain.

"Yes, you were kidnapped, but don't worry your safe. Bankotsu and I did it. It was the only way we could get you away from Naraku.

If he knew we did it he would know where to find you and we knew you and would probably go after your friends.

So you don't need to worry you weren't hurt or anything."

I breathed in a sigh of relief and leaned back into the couch.

"I was going to wait until those three got back out so my dad and Sesshomaru could explain it to you, but you deserve to know."

I looked at him and smiled and he smiled back.

I scooted over to him and leaned my head against him and wrapped my arms around him and we just sat there.

"Thank you so much Inuyasha. You don't know how much this means to me."

He rested his head on mine and stroked my hair as he took in a deep breath.

"I just want you to be safe, Kagome…"

We sat in silence enjoying each others embrace until we heard a door open to our side.

We jumped apart and scooted a little ways away from each other as we watched Bankotsu, Sesshomaru, and Inutaisho come our way and sit on the couch opposite of us.

"Okay Kagome we talked and decided how we are going to handle this.

You will remain here all day until we can figure out what to do next while Inuyasha and Bankotsu continue going to school.

We will collect all notes and homework that you will need while you are absent but you cannot leave.

Either Sesshomaru or myself will be with you at all times just in case someone ever finds you here.

Sesshomaru has informed me on your condition and he is going to look at your wrist so we can take further actions and someone you are comfortable with will take a look at your stomach, back, and the other places where you will need new bandages."

Inutaisho finished and Sesshomaru and I stood up and he led me to my room.

We walked in and he closed the door behind me.

He motioned for me to sit down and I did while he pulled out another more study looking wrist guard than what I had on.

He slowly and carefully took off the wrist guard I was wearing and sat in a chair in front of me. For a few minutes we sat in silence as he examined my wrist.

"Tell me when it hurts." Sesshomaru said and I nodded.

He put pressure on a part of my wrist and pain surged through my arm as I winced and slightly pulled my arm back. I apologized and he only nodded.

"Try moving your fingers." He said.

I tried only to barely being able to move them.

I looked at him and his face was unreadable. He took the other wrist guard and put it on.

He got up and walked out and shortly after Bankotsu walked in with a first-aid kit and set it down.

I stood up and took off my shirt so I was in my undershirt and waited until Bankotsu was ready.

I took off my undershirt to reveal bandages with fresh blood seeping through.

(They are like brother and sister, so don't get any ideas…)

I held my arms out as he took them off as carefully as he could so he wouldn't hurt me.

He cleaned the gashes and put on a new gauze bandage. I got through it mostly pain free but sometimes I would feel pain and jump a little only to cause more pain.

When he was done with my stomach, back, and shoulder I put my shirts back on and he turned me around and put a little bit of antibiotics on the cut going diagonally across my forehead.

He gave me a pair of shorts to change into and turned around until I changed.

When I got changed he had me sit down and took off the bandage on my left leg to reveal a fairly long cut on the underside of my leg.

He cleaned that with this stuff that made my leg hurt and wrapped it up.

I changed back into my pants and he helped me out of the room and back over to the couches.

He sat me down next to Inuyasha and Bankotsu sat down next to me.

I leaned back and closed my eyes as they started talking quietly to each other but I didn't catch a word of what they were saying until my name was said.

"Kagome" A voice said calmly

I looked forward to see all three of them looking at me and I waited for the owner of the voice to finish talking.

"Sesshomaru says your wrist is broken.

The only thing we can do right now is wrap it up and restrain it as best as possible but we may need to take you to a hospital." Inutaisho said.

"I thought that might be the case, it's happened before, but we're not telling them what really happened." I said calmly.

They looked at me questionably and I just let out and exasperated laugh.

"Yes, I said, "It has happened before.

As all of you aware my father started beating me when I was five and Naraku about a year after we had started going out, and they got out of hand a lot.

There were many occasions where I had broken bones and have even gone to the hospital.

For a period of time the beatings did stop.

My father had thrown me down the stairs and the neighbors heard me scream and called the police.

I was out for two days and my father told them I must have just fallen down the stairs but the police didn't buy it and hired a CPS worker to investigate it.

I wouldn't talk to them so they had no choice but to drop it but my father and Naraku didn't hit me for awhile after that.

It was probably the only good thing in my life except before the crash…"

I stopped and leaned forward and put my head on my hands.

Bankotsu rubbed my back gently and slowly, sensing my discomfort.

We sat like that for a few minutes before Inutaisho and Sesshomaru got up and took Inuyasha back into the room I had been in earlier.

I stood up forgetting about my injuries and fell on Bankotsu who was still sitting on the couch.

After a few more feeble attempts to get up I finally gave up and crossed my arms and sat next to Bankotsu again.

He laughed and I turned to him and smiled.

I stretched out and laid my head on the armrest next to me and put my feet on Bankotsu's lap.

I flexed my feet and closed my eyes still smiling.

The next thing I know Bankotsu is sitting on my legs and starts tickling my feet.

I tried to move my legs from out of his grasp but he held them in place. I started laughing so hard I couldn't stop and my eyes started to tear up.

I tried to scream but I was laughing so hard it didn't come out right and I don't really know what it was.

I saw the Takahashi family rush out to find us in that position and they just stood there smiling.

Inuyasha jumped over the couch and tackled Bankotsu to the ground and they started wrestling.

I sat up and pulled my legs closer to me as we all watched them rolling on the floor.

I scooted over to the other side of the couch where they were wrestling and poked Bankotsu in the sides.

He jumped up and I started laughing all over again.

He came over to me and I tried to crawl away but Bankotsu grabbed my right leg and pulled me back to the edge of the couch.

Before he could sit on me or start tickling me again, I reached up poked him in the side causing him to fall on the couch.

That gave me an opportunity to sit on his waist and I started tickling him.

After awhile of tickling I was laughing so hard I fell off of him and landed on the floor.

I kept laughing and rolled on my back and tried to sit up. I calmed down and sat back on the couch as did everyone else.

My eyes started to get heavy and I yawned and put my head down on the arm rest and curled up into a little ball.

I was covered with a blanket and I looked up to see Bankotsu lying on the other end of the couch covered with a blanket as well.

"You guys can have the rooms it's your place." Inuyasha said before standing up.

"No," I said drowsily,

"Guests get the rooms before the hosts it's one of the rules.

Don't worry we'll be fine we've slept on these couches plenty of times. You should get to bed though; you have school in the morning."

I partially opened one eye and saw him nod.

Inutaisho got up as well as Sesshomaru and Inutaisho took the room I was in earlier and Inuyasha and Sesshomaru both took the room next to him.

That room was a lot bigger than it looked from the outside. It had 10 single beds in it with a nightstand for each.

The lights turned off and I soon fell into a deep sleep.

When I woke up the lights were on but they were a little dim.

I sat up to see Bankotsu not at the other end of the couch and I got up and walked into the kitchen to see that it was 8:45.

I got a cup out of one of the cabinets and poured water nearly to the top.

I walked back over to the couch and reached for the remote sitting on the table to the right of me. I turned the music on and spread out on the couch and started singing.

When the song was over I got up and went to the bar.

I went behind the counter and pulled out a glass and some bottles with different color liquids in them.

I went over to a small cabinet and kicked it until it opened.

I pulled out a small bottle and set it down with the other ones. I poured the liquids into a mixer and mixed them together before I put them in the glass with some ice.

I put all the bottles away and rinsed out the mixer before sitting on the stool behind the bar.

I got about halfway done when I heard someone sit down in front of me.

I was about to take another drink but the glass was taken from my hand.

I looked up to see Sesshomaru smelling the glass. He set it down and I reached for it only to have him pull it away and I frowned.

"You shouldn't be drinking," He replied.

I crossed my arms and looked at him,

"I've had it before besides I'm locked in here and if I do get drunk there are people all around here who can easily stop me from doing anything to serious."

He picked up the glass and took a drink from the glass.

"This is really hard stuff are you sure you can handle it?"

He asked and cocked an eyebrow.

I nodded and reached out for the glass again but he just shook his head and I huffed. He took another swallow and finished it off.

He set the glass down and I took it to the sink to rinse it out. I was about to pull out the bottles to make another glass but Sesshomaru came around the bar and picked me up.

He carried me to the couch and set me down before sitting next to me.

"What exactly is this place?" Sesshomaru asked. I turned to him and carefully crossed my legs and put my arms in my lap.

"Well," I began, "This place used to be a club that my mom used to own. It has another story and we use it a lot but Bankotsu might have changed it.

I know there is a small movie theatre, a storage room and a room with a whole bunch of games and stuff.

When my mom died she left it to me along with all the money she earned from it, which was a lot.

I think it was almost half a million.

I think that might be the real reason that my father started to beat me.

My mom knew that he wouldn't use the money right so she left to me.

The club closed but I would go there a lot and clean the place up and stay there a lot. Then one day when I was getting there on a Friday I saw Bankotsu outside.

I didn't know him them but he was in really bad shape so I let him stay there with me and I let him live there without any questions.

Then one day he told me his parents had died and asked if he could stay there and I said of course and he started going to my school.

Then we would find other people outside who had also lost there family or just wanted to get away from theirs.

We soon made this place to sort of a shelter that kids could come to when they needed.

We had all the stuff upstairs installed and we got lots of beds and couches and everything we needed.

Some people came and went we never asked where they went but they always came back even if it was just to say hi.

Then one day someone who was staying here stole a lot of stuff while no one was there and they never came back.

That's when we had someone who would stand at the door and make sure the only people who came and went were people who lived here.

Other people were sort of like security guards who would watch the place and make sure nothing got stolen again.

Then we had names for all of us just for safety measures, and if there were new people who wanted to come we would have to interview them and make sure they were okay.

Since Bankotsu is a demon he could tell if they were lying, so we were doing really well.

Then my dad said we were moving and I left management in Bankotsu's care and as far as I know it stayed good.

There were some people who would bring money to support the place and Bankotsu said a lot of people would donate a lot of money that they got from their parents when they died or the money they had when they left.

They had music stuff and painted the walls while I was gone and I think it looks pretty good, but we might need to do another coat again soon.

When I moved back, I was able to sneak out and come here and sometimes I would stay here for a week at a time.

I still left the management just because he was always here and I couldn't be here all the time to take care of things.

So if there are people who come in don't interrogate them.

Just make sure their not Naraku or someone.

People come and go all the time throughout the day."

I was about to say something else but Sesshomaru raised his hand and I stayed silent.

"What do you mean make sure their not Naraku?" He asked.

"Well, he can change into other people.

That's how he would follow us when we moved. He would go to my school, but he wouldn't make any contact with me.

I would always make a friend that was at least half demon and they would tell me that someone was following me or watching me, and the only reason they would worry was because they knew he was a half demon."

"Wait, Naraku's a half demon?"

"Yeah, I thought Bankotsu would have told you…"

"No, he told us he was human."

"Oh I thought he knew…"

We sat in silence for a minute and I thought and thought and thought.

"Oh, I know," I said, "I read in this book somewhere about demons and half demons that they can make jewelry to hide their demon powers and scent from everyone.

He has this necklace and ring that he never takes off. I bet that's why Bankotsu never knew."

"That's makes sense," Sesshomaru said, "But they're really hard to make, and I know it takes a lot of skill to make one… I'll be right back I have to make a phone call."

He got up and walked into the room he was staying in and closed the door.

I got up and shakily walked back over to the bar and myself another drink. I sat down and slowly drank it savoring the taste.

Before I was able to make a fourth glass the glass was taken away from me again.

I turned around to yell at Sesshomaru but he was on the phone so I stayed silent. He put the glass in the sink and stood next to me while he continued his conversation.

When he hung up he put his phone in his pocket and turned to me.

He opened his mouth to say something but the phone rang.

I smiled and jumped over the bar once again forgetting my injuries and was caught by Sesshomaru who brought me over to the phone.

I didn't realize what had happened because e had moved so fast that I blinked and we were at the phone.

I picked up the phone and looked at the caller ID to see Bankotsu's number and I answered the phone.

"Hi Bankotsu," I said and he said hi back.

"Are you doing alright?" He asked rather loudly and I guessed he was walking in the hall or in the cafeteria.

"Yeah, I'm doing fine."

I turned to see Sesshomaru patiently waiting and I stuck my tongue out at him and he shifted his eyebrows at me.

I laughed and walked away from him and sat down on the couch.

"Who is staying with you today?"

"Sesshomaru," I said bluntly.

"Okay, let me talk to him" I heard yelling in the background and we said our goodbyes before I threw the phone at Sesshomaru.

He caught it easily and I turned around on the couch and watched him as he talked to Bankotsu.

I got bored with his simple responses and I looked around the room and spaced out a little bit.

The next thing I knew I felt a plop on the couch and I was so surprised I fell off the couch and let out a shriek of surprise.

I landed on my side and ribs started throbbing but I got up and sat on the couch and smiled at Sesshomaru who looked a little worried.

"Bankotsu said that he doesn't think Naraku has suspected anything yet but they're still going to be watching him.

They'll be home right after school and my father will be back around 7."

I nodded and stood up and walked to the wall next to the couches and tapped around on the wall until I heard something hollow and I punched it relatively hard.

A door popped open and I opened it and walked upstairs and into the hallway at the top of the stairs.

I looked behind me to see Sesshomaru standing there.

"This door," I said as I patted the first door in the hallway on my right, "Is the game room."

I continued down the hallway and stopped at the two remaining doors at the end of the hallway.

I told him that the door on the right was the storage room and was always to remained locked and the only ones who ever went in there were Bankotsu and I.

I opened the door on the left side of the hallway and walked in to reveal a small movie theatre.

I went to the back and put on The Hills Have Eyes.

I went to a door on the far side of the theatre to reveal a small closet and I pulled out a blanket and went to the middle row and sat down.

Sesshomaru sat down next to me and we watched the movie in silence.

When the movie was over we got up and he turned the movie off and put it away while I put the blanket up.

We walked down the hallway and I was walking down the stairs when I slipped on a loose floorboard.

I fell down the stairs and closed me eyes and waited to come in contact with the ground but it never came.

I opened my eyes to see Sesshomaru standing beneath me holding me up. I sighed and he helped me stand back up.

I grabbed onto the railing and put weight on the foot I had slipped on and cried out in pain.

I sank to the floor and grabbed my ankle and tried to stop the pain.

Sesshomaru kneeled down beside me and I shifted so I was sitting flat on the stair.

He lifted up my pant leg and looked at my leg.

He ran his hand across my ankle and sighed.

"It's just a sprain. It'll hurt for awhile but you'll be fine."

He pulled my pant leg back down and picked me up and carried me to the couch I had slept on.

He gently set me down and gave me a pillow to lean against and put a bigger pillow under my leg.

He walked into the kitchen and I saw a group of people walk in.

A fracture of them went into rooms and disappeared off into other places of the room but Inuyasha and Bankotsu along with a couple other people came over to me.

They all came around the couch and stopped when they saw me with my leg propped up.

They asked what happened but I just put my head down in shame to hide my embarrassment.

Sesshomaru walked back over and put a small bag of ice on my ankle. The group turned to him for an explanation and he told them that I just fell down the stairs.

I hugged Inuyasha and Bankotsu and they sat down on one of the couches with Sesshomaru and started talking in a hushed whisper to each other.

Jakotsu walked over to me and sat on the floor next to me and I gave him a long hug.

We talked a little bit and I explained what was happening and we talked for a little bit before he had to go to work.

Other people came and went all in all after I talked to Jakotsu I talked to Hiten, Kanna, Rin, and Manten.

They all went to do things like homework, go to jobs, or just go out.

I put my head back against the pillow and closed my eyes listening to the chatter and the music in the background.

A few minutes later I felt myself being wrapped in a hug and I opened my eyes to see Kouga kneeling down next to me.

I smiled at him and he smiled his goofy smile.

"How's my woman?" He asked still smiling.

"How many times do I have to tell you I'm not your woman?" I asked him.

"You might not be now but you will be one day. I guarantee it."He said as he brushed some hair out of my face.

"Please Kouga, stop. You know I don't like it when you do that."

I stopped smiling and tried to push his hand away from me but he grabbed my hand and put it down in my lap.

"Kouga stop, please."

By that time I was getting a little distressed and Inuyasha had come over to see what was going on.

I tried to pull my hand out of Kouga's grasp but he wouldn't let go and had turned his attention to Inuyasha.

"If she doesn't want you to touch her than stop." Inuyasha said in a cool tone.

"Mind your own business mutt. We were just talking." Kouga said as he let go of my hand and stood up to face Inuyasha.

"What did you say?" Inuyasha said, his temper rising.

"I said mind your own business mutt." Kouga said with distaste in the last word.

Inuyasha started growling and clenched his fist together.

"You better watch what you say flea-bitten wolf." Inuyasha said.

Kouga pushed Inuyasha and then they went off. They both swung punches at each other some hitting and others not and finally I had had enough.

"STOP!" I yelled and stood up.

Ignoring the pain in my legs I walked over to them and stood in between them to separate them. They both put there fists down and looked away ashamed.

"This is not the time to be fighting and this is not the place. No one fights here and you know that Kouga.

You know the rules of this house and you know the consequences of not following them, and Inuyasha you better learn them or you can't stay here.

We don't need anyone causing any problems.

I'm not blaming either of you but if this happens again both of you are going to pay.

If you can't learn to get along, than stay away from each other. This is a place for everyone to stay and no one gets favored."

I grabbed my ice pack and limped to my room and slammed the door shut.

I turned on the light and plopped down on my bed. I fixed my pillows and sat up and put the ice back on my throbbing ankle.

Someone knocked on the door and Bankotsu walked in.

I moved over on the bed and he sat next to me. We sat in silence for awhile before Bankotsu turned to me and sighed.

"You know they were both just trying to protect you." Bankotsu said.

"I know," I replied, "But the welfare of this place is more important to me than my well being. Kouga knows the rules he shouldn't have started fighting.

They can go somewhere else and duke it out, but not here.

You should tell Inuyasha the rules I've warned him that if he breaks one of them again he will be punished like anyone else would be."

Bankotsu sighed again and nodded.

He stood up and walked out of the room shutting the door behind him.

I stayed in the bed for awhile just thinking to myself before I noticed that the bag of ice had melted and wasn't cold anymore.

I got up out of bed and slowly walked to the door and walked out.

Everyone turned to me as I limped across the room and to the kitchen.

Some of them stood up and started to walk towards me, but I held my hand up and they all sat back down.

I walked to the kitchen to find Sesshomaru and Inutaisho sitting at the table and talking to each other.

They looked up at me as I walked to the sink and poured out the water from the bag and put more ice in it from the freezer.

Most of the people who were roaming about and sitting on the couches had left leaving Bankotsu and Inuyasha.

I walked over to the couches and sat down on one side of the couches next to Bankotsu.

After awhile Sesshomaru and Inutaisho came over and sat down on the couch opposite of us.

Hey guys, I hope you liked this chapter and I know I took a long time to get it posted but I've been really busy at school and I haven't had a lot of time to write. I'll try to get them written and posted sooner and since there aren't any more plays at my school that I know of I'll hopefully get them written sooner. I help with set design and all the backstage stuff like lights and sound and the actual set, that's what I meant with the plays thing…. I look forward to reading your reviews if you write one…..p.s. if you have any character or certain thing that you would like to see appear or happen in the story I would be more than happy to incorporate it into my story, bye.
