Alright, here is the next chapter. NHpoe you enjoy. I don't own Inuyasha.
When she came down, she was surprise to see Miroku standing in her living room with a worried look. She rush over to him and hugged him tightly. He hugged her back. When they pulled apart they went up stair to talk. Once Kagome close the door to her room, she leaned against it and started to cry. Miroku rush over and pulled her into another hug while she cried into his chest.
When she finally calmed down, they sat down on her bed. She still had tears in her eyes as they seem to look dull in the light. She looked a mess and he notice that there was something red on her sleeve. He took her arm in his hands and move the sleeve up. She looked down as he stared in shock at what he saw.
"Why?" he asked as he saw the cut marks.
She shrugs not looking at him.
"Why did you do this?" he asked her again.
"I can't take it no more." she said as her tears started to fall again.
"I know. But it's ok. Everything is going to be ok." he said softly as he ran his fingers through her hair.
"How do you know? How do you know that this won't happen again?" she asked through her tears.
"Because I won't let it happen again. You are my little sis that means I'm here for you." he said with a smile.
"So does this mean you're spending the night?" she asked as she smiled back.
"Yup, movie and popcorn." he cheered happily.

At the park in one of the tallest tree, sat Inuyasha. He was thinking about what he was going to do now. He looked to the dark blue sky with stars smiling back at him as if they were mock him. The moon hide behind some clouds as a light breeze ran through the trees.
He won't go, talk to Kagome. Because he didn't want to confront her and end up scaring her more than she already was. He wasn't sure on how he would be able to help her. He wanted nothing more than to hold her in his arms and tell her that she had nothing to fear.
"So why don't you tell her?" a voice in the back of his mind asked.
"I can't," he said softly to himself.
"Why not?"
the voice asked."Because. Would you just leave me alone." he said getting very annoyed at the voice.
He was afraid of what would happen if he told Kagome that he loves her. He wasn't sure on how she would reacted and what if she could never feel the same for him. What would he do if she rejected him or became fearful of him. He didn't think he would be able to handle it. So he decided to just try to be friends for now.
"Yea, we'll be friends." he said to himself.
"But you don't want to be just friends
." The voice said."Would you shut up already." he said angrily.
He looked up at the sky to get his mind off of Kagome. When he looked up he saw the moon high in the sky. He curse himself for not paying attention to the time. Sesshomaru will have a fit that he is late coming home.
So jumping out of the tree, he landed softly on then ground. At top speed, he took off down the path towards his home. Hoping that his brother won't notice his abuses.

When Monday came along Miroku haven't left Kagome's side. He had spend the two night in his old room that her mom had kept for him from when he used to spend the night as a child. He was a little hesitant to let her go to school for fear of not being able to protect her if something happen.
Kagome didn't tell her mom what happen with Koga. But Kagome and Miroku both believe that she figure something was wrong. Her mom didn't push the matter. She believe that if either one of them wants to talk about it, they will come to her. And they knew that she would listen and try to help them out as best as she could.
When Monday came, Miroku hadn't left Kagome's side. He'd slept in the room that used to be his when he was a little boy and would spend the nights. He was even a little hesitant about letting her go to school. If he could have it his way she would have called in sick today. He knew that her mom wouldn't have minded as long as she caught up on all that she missed.
Kagome didn't tell her mom what happened. But Kagome and Miroku figured that her mom knew something was the matter. Her mom would wait until they came to her, though, because she didn't want to pry unless things were dangerous. And they knew that they could go to her and get help.
Miroku walked Kagome to school. They talked about what they should do after school with Sango. They knew that Sango would be upset with them because they haven't been answering her calls. Kagome learned that Sango was Miroku's girlfriend, and Kagome figured that Sango wanted to spend time with her boyfriend.
And they were right; Sango was standing outside the school waiting for them to show up. As they got closer they saw the hurt in Sango's eyes.
"Hey Sango," Kagome said with a smile.
"Hello Kagome, Miroku," Sango said with obvious forced politeness and a tight smile.
"Well, hello there my beloved Sango," Miroku said as he took her hand in his and laid a gentle kiss it.
Sango blushed as she pulled her hand away from him. Kagome put her hand over her mouth to cover her giggle as Miroku looked at Sango. Sango turned her head the other way so that she wasn't looking into Miroku's eyes. But Sango's shyness quickly disappeared as she looked over at Kagome.
"Are you alright?" Sango asked her seriously.
"I'm fine. Nothing to worry about," Kagome said as Miroku wrapped both his arms around the girls shoulders, having Sango on his right and Kagome on his left.
"Well, shall we get to class?" he asked like a gentleman.
"We shall," the girls giggled as they walked into the school.
They walked like that until the girls got to their class. Then Miroku walked off, having a different class then the girls. The girls walked into class towards the back row. Taking their seats, Kagome turned to Sango.
"Hey Sango, you wanna do something with us after school?" Kagome asked.
"Who are us?" Sango asked, raising a brow at her.
"Miroku and me. I want to see the movie 'Meet Dave' but Miroku wants to go to the arcade. So we thought we would let you decide," Kagome told her.
"Well, I want to see the movie 'Meet Dave' too, but…can I ask you something?" Sango asked.
"Sure," said Kagome with a smile.
"How do you know Miroku?" Sango asked.
"Oh…well we used to be best friends before some stuff happened. But don't worry. Miroku is like a brother to me. He's all yours" Kagome stated, smiling when she saw relief flood over Sango's stressed form.
"Okay," Sango said as the students came into the classroom and took their seats.
Nothing special happened until lunch. Miroku had told Kagome to sit at his table. So there was Kagome, sitting between Sango and Miroku with Inuyasha sitting across from her. Kagome and Inuyasha wouldn't look at each other the whole time. They kept finding other stuff to focus their interest on, while Miroku happily talked to Sango about what had happened so far in school.
Lunch was almost over and Inuyasha was 'volunteered' to take the trash up. As Inuyasha cursed on his way to the trash cans, Sango leaned over to talk to Miroku and Kagome.
"Hey, would you mind if I ask Inuyasha to come too?" Sango asked softly.
"Why?" Miroku asked, narrowing his eyes at the back of the hanyou.
"Well, his brother left town for the week and I know he can use some company," she explained hastily.
"I don't know," Miroku said slowly as he looked over Inuyasha.
"It's fine," Kagome said.
"What?" Miroku asked, looking at her in disbelief.
"It's fine, Miroku. Plus, we can't have him home alone while we're having a good time," Kagome said playfully.
"Well, I can," Miroku said matter-of-factly, his arms crossing over his chest and a pout on his lips like a little child.
"Come on, Miroku. Please. For little old me?" Kagome pleaded like a kid trying to get more candy.
Miroku sighed. "Alright. He can come. Happy now?" Miroku asked, sounding defeated.
"Yes, very much. Thank you," Kagome said as a smile spread across her face.
Sango couldn't help but to smile at them, with Miroku acting like the big, overprotecting brother and Kagome as the younger, spoiled sister. They were funny to watch as she could tell that Kagome used to get away with a lot of stuff when they were best friends.
Just then, Inuyasha returned to the table and sat down. He looked around at his so-called friends (cough-cough, traitors, cough-cough). He saw a grumpy monk, a happy miko, and an amused demon slayer. He raised a brow at them but shook his head, not really wanting to know if it involves Miroku.
"So, what'd I miss?" Inuyasha asked.
"Nothing," Miroku grumbled, still pouting.
"Hey, Inuyasha. Would you like to hang out with us after school?" Sango asked.
"What are you going to do?" Inuyasha asked.
"Go see a movie," Kagome said.
"Sure," Inuyasha replied, still not meeting Kagome's anxious gaze.
"Kay, we'll meet after school at the entrance," Kagome said.
"Okay," everyone else agreed, some grudgingly.
The bell rang and they went their separate ways. School seemed to just fly by for the four friends. Soon, it was the final bell that rang. The bell that says 'you're free'. Kagome was the first one there. She stood by a tree that wasn't far from the entrance. She was far enough to be out of the crowd but close enough to see when her friends would come out.
She didn't have to wait long before she saw someone walking towards her. That someone had a look that she didn't like. That someone was…
Please review. And take a guess who Kagome see first.
