A Cry For Help

By: Goth Chick Tiff

Summary: Kagome Higurashi is your average loner in high school who's got a lot of troubles at home that she keeps to herself. Atleast as normal as you can get when you're attending Takahashi High. Considering she's the only loner, kagome spends most of her time avoiding the all-to-familiar troubles at school Though beautiful, she hides herself from the world. When she finds out that her friends from the Internet (Inuyasha, Miroku, and Sango) are moving to her town, her life changes for the better. Hopefully.


Chapter 20: Truce

Kagome sighed as she sulked on Inuyasha's bed. She'd just rummaged through his closet and ALL of his dresser drawers and had yet to find anything that would be considered sexy. "Inu, you have NO sense of style." She sighed again and stood up. "I guess you'll just have to borrow someone else's clothes."

"Hey, it ain't my fault I don't buy clothes to be sexy." Inuyasha huffed and crossed his arms.

Kagome looked at him skeptically. "Actually, it is. You're the one who does your shopping. No lets go rummage through Sir Fluffy-kin's closet. Hopefully we'll find something of use. Oh and bring swim trunks with you, preferably red or black." She said as she exited the room. She then walked to the living room in search of Sesshoumaru. When she walked in she found Miroku unconscious on the floor, an angry Sango fuming on the couch, Hiten and Doku were sitting on the love seat trying to hold in their laughter, and Sesshoumaru was standing by the coffee table with a bored expression on his face. "Let me guess, Miroku tried to put the moves on Doku, right?"

Hiten and Doku nodded. "I guess I should've told him you were lesbian…" Kagome said. "Sorry bout that."

"Don't worry about it. Though I do hope he is ok." Doku said and looked down at the still unconscious Miroku.

"He'll be up in a few minutes, he never stays down for long." Kagome said then walked up to Sesshoumaru and grabbed his hand. "You're turn" She said as she walked back, grabbing Doku's hand as well. "Doku, I'm gonna drop you off at my room so you can go through my things to see if you want to use any of it and I'll go through yours when we go back to your house." She said while walking to her bedroom.

After dropping Doku off at her bedroom, Kagome continued to lead Sesshoumaru down the hall. "Do you even know where my bedroom is?" Sesshoumaru asked.

"I know you. You wouldn't sleep to far away from Rin so you can keep her safe," Kagome smiled. "Plus you forgot to close your bedroom door the night we took Rin to bed."

"I knew I forgot something that night…" Sesshoumaru said before smirking. "But what man would remember something so trivial after thinking about you under him writhing in pleasure."

Kagome laughed. "Honestly, Sesshou, stop dreaming about things you can't have."

Sesshoumaru stopped walking and pulled Kagome to his person and turned her so they were facing each other. "And what makes you think I can't have you?" he said huskily.

Kagome looked up at Sesshoumaru and sighed. "The fact that it would hurt my best friend, thus hurting me in the process. And I don't think I can take being hurt anymore. So drop the subject." She said and resumed walking.

"He really hurt you, didn't he?" Sesshoumaru whispered, only loud enough for her to hear even though there was no one around.

"Yes." She said dejectedly before she stopped walking. "I know you want to know what happened, but today is a happy day. Talking about this is just going to make me remember things I worked hard to forget." She plastered a smile onto her face. " Now lets go look through your room and see if we find anything embarrassing."

Kagome walked into Sesshoumaru's room and headed straight for the closet. "Now let's hope you have more style than your brother." she said as she opened the closet door to reveal…suits. Lots and lots of suits, all expensive looking. "Oh my god. You're worse than your brother!" She yelled and turned to look at a smirking Sesshoumaru.

"You forget I'm a lawyer, Kagome. My suits must be hung up." He clarified.

Kagome smiled sheepishly, "Oh yea. Well, lets go see what else you have." She said and walked over to Sesshoumaru's dresser and opened the top drawer. She then pulled out a pair of purple boxers and turned to look at Sesshoumaru. "Fluffy, are you gay?"

Sesshoumaru raised a brow. "No. It was the only color they had for that particular kind of boxers and I like that brand, therefore I bought them." He answered.

"Ahhhh. Well we're getting rid of them." Kagome said and tossed them in the trash. "The last thing we need is Inuyasha making fun of you because of your boxers." She continued to look through the drawer and found some wife-beaters. "Ohhhhh. Now these will do nicely." She said and placed 3 pairs on the bed.

"Why are there three?" Sesshoumaru asked.

"One for you, one fore Inu, and one for Miroku. I already know he's going to want to be in this. I already know Hiten has some, I tore one of his shirts while fighting one day and he was wearing one underneath." She explained before pulling out another one. "And this one is for me." She said smiling.

Kagome then opened up the second drawer and found some silk shirts "Oooohh. Pretty!" She said as she pulled out a silk, black and purple, button down shirt with two dragons embroidered on it. "You are soooo wearing that." Kagome continued to rummage through the drawer and pulled out four other button down shirts and placed them on the bed.

"Why are you going to wear MY clothes?" Sesshoumaru asked, an elegant brow raised.

"Because you have more style than Inu." Kagome answered. She then closed the drawer and opened up the third. "Yahtzee!" Kagome yelled and turned to Sesshoumaru. "Go get Miroku and Inu." She said and took out a few pairs of cargo pants. One was a pair of regular camo's, another was a pair of camo's tinted a dark bluish-purple color, the last was a pair of camo's tinted red and black. 'I guess he really likes camouflage,' Kagome thought.

After searching through that drawer opened the last one. "That's a lot of swimming trunks," Kagome said aloud.

"I'm an avid swimmer," Sesshoumaru answered from the door.

"I gathered." She said and pulled out a pair of black swimming trunks then looked at the door to find Miroku and Inuyasha behind Sesshoumaru. "Fluffy you can let them in, I need to see if they are the right size."

Sesshoumaru snorted and allowed them to enter his room. "What do you mean right size?" Inuyasha asked, as he walked toward Kagome.

Kagome walked over to Inuyasha with the red and black camo's in hand. She then placed them against his waist. "Perfect!" She exclaimed and looked up at Inuyasha's blushing face. "What's wrong Doggy-meat. Never have a girl measure pants on you?"

"Fuck you Kagome!" He yelled and yanked the cargo's out of her hand.

"Only in your dreams Inu, only in your dreams." Kagome retorted as she called Miroku over with her finger.

"Alright Officer Higurashi. Frisk me!" Miroku said, a smile on his face.

Kagome laughed and placed the bluish-purple cargos against his person. She then pulled them away and threw them to him along with a dark blue wife-beater. As he turned around to head out the door she slapped him on the ass, causing Miroku to jump and look back at her in surprise, a light blush staining his cheeks. "Awww, what Miroku? You can dish it out but you can't take it?" Kagome said laughingly. At that Miroku blushed harder and walked out the door grumbling about women who don't know how to take a joke, causing Inuyasha, and Sesshoumaru to laugh.

"Inu, head's up" Kagome said as she tossed him a red wife-beater.

Inuyasha caught it and left the room. Smiling and shaking his head as he went. Kagome then tossed the last pair of cargo's to Sesshoumaru along with a white wife-beater. "Those are yours." Kagome said before remembering the swimming trunks and tossing him a black pair along with a dark blue pair. "Give the dark blue ones to Miroku." She said, knowing he was going to ask her what they were for. She then picked up the black wife-beater laying on the bed and headed to her room to check up on Doku, Sesshoumaru following her.


Doku looked around Kagome's room, admiring the little knick-knacks that adorned the bedroom. She walked over to the closet and opened the door. After rummaging through it she found a long black skirt that had a large dragon embroidered on the front. She then walked over to the dresser and found a fish-net shirt that stopped just above the belly-button. "Well Kagome, seems like me and you have the same taste. I can't believe we have the same outfit." She said laughingly.

"Wow, and I thought I was the only one that had that skirt." Kagome said and walked into the bedroom. "So did you find anything you liked?"

"Other than that awesome blood-red Buddha statue, not really. You and I have the same taste in clothes. But I did think that you could wear this skirt and fishnet shirt with a black bra underneath and I could wear the same thing while we do the yuri pics." Doku explained.

Kagome walked over to the Buddha statue that was on her nightstand and picked it up. She then walked back over to Doku and held it out to her. "Take it. I lost my faith a while ago. And I like the whole outfit idea." After giving Doku the statue Kagome walked over to her dresser and opened the top dresser drawer. She pulled out a black bra and put with the skirt and shirt then took out a pair of black boxers with flames on them and placed them with the clothes. She then took out a pair of plaid boxers and placed them with the rest of the clothes.

"What's the extra set of boxers for?" Doku asked.

"You. You're gonna borrow one of Hiten's wife-beaters and then we're gonna get wet in them." Kagome explained.

"Oh, ok." Doku said examining the statue Kagome had given her. "Thanks for the Buddha."

"No problem. Now lets go before the guys start killing each other." Kagome said laughingly.


Naraku groaned as he got out of bed. 'Damn woman is insatiable in bed.' He thought and looked at the person lying next to him. She lay on her stomach; her black hair sprawled around her person. The blanket reached up to her waist, allowing the skin of her back to be seen. He got up and changed into some clothes before leaving the bedroom, intent on calling his dear Kagome to stage a truce. 'I wonder how the little bitch will take it.'

Naraku walked into his study, picked up the receiver for the phone and dialed Kagome's cell number, courtesy of his 'friends' in the police force. After a few rings he heard her intoxicating voice.

"Hello?"

"Ahh, hello my dear Kagome," There was a pause.

"N-Naraku?" Kagome said in a shaky voice.

"Yes it is I. Now don't go worrying your little head. I'm not going to hurt you. I just simply called to see if we could somehow formulate a truce?"

"A truce?"

"Yes, a truce. Why don't you come over tonight and we'll figure out what we can do to make both of our lives easier and…happier." Naraku said, barely able to hold in a laugh.

"Tonight?"

"Yes, tonight."

"You're not just luring me there to finish me off are you?"

"No, not at all. I've realized that you are a formidable foe, one to be reckoned with. And I would love to stay in this world, if only for a little while longer." Naraku once again tried to suppress a laugh.

"Ok, Tonight. Where and when?"

"My summer home, I trust Sesshoumaru will be able to give it to you. Be there at 10."

"Ok, summer home at 10. Wait, how did you know I was living with Sesshoumaru?"

"It was quite easy to figure out when Sesshoumaru dropped my case."

"Oh. Ok, I'll be there."

"All right, my sweet."

"Oh, and Naraku?

"Yes?"

"Pull anything and I will make sure your death is slow and painful."

With that the phone went dead. "Oh don't worry my little Kagome. You won't know what hit you. And when you are too weak to fight back, I'll ravish your body in ways you wouldn't even dream were possible." He whispered to himself before hanging up the phone. It was time to get the plan into action.


Kagome closed her flip phone and looked at her friends. "Looks like the photo shoot is off." Kagome said and plopped on the couch.

"You're actually gonna go?" Inuyasha asked, incredulously.

"Yea I'm going," Kagome held up her hand before he could protest and smirked. "But, I'm not going alone. If I know Naraku, which I do, he's got something planned. And he's undoubtedly working with Kikyo."

"What does Kikyo have to do with this?" Inuyasha asked.

"She's a nurses aide at the hospital. She can get any drug to knock you out or kill you" Hiten answered.

"Oh." Inuyasha said.

"So what are we gonna do?" Sango asked.

"That's what I'm trying to figure out." Kagome said. "Does anyone besides me, Sesshoumaru, Inu, and Hiten know how to fight?"

"My family comes from a long line of Demon slayers, so I'm pretty good with a sword. But I'm better with my Hiraikotsu." Sango chimed in.

"Hiraikotsu?" Inuyasha questioned.

"It's her very LARGE boomerang. I saw it when she used to live with me. Though I didn't know you could fight with it." Kagome answered.

"Yea, well I haven't seen a dojo around here so I couldn't practice." Sango replied.

"What about you Miroku?" Kagome asked. "You do come from a family of monks."

"I have some spiritual powers though nothing like yours. I can subdue some demons and erect barriers. Then I also have my staff, which I've been training with since I was young." Miroku answered.

"Alrighty. So all of us combined should make a pretty damn good force to be reckoned with. That is if Sesshoumaru is willing to join us?" Kagome looked towards Sesshoumaru.

Sesshoumaru quirked a brow, "Do you honestly believe I will leave you in the hands of this fool?" Sesshoumaru said, pointing to his brother.

Kagome laughed, "I don't know Sesshou. Up until a few days ago you were an ass." She retorted then looked at Doku. "I don't expect you to fight with us Doku. It's my problem and if you don't want Hiten fighting, I'm perfectly fine with that." It was then that Kagome noticed the faraway look in Doku's eyes.

Kagome walked up to Doku and waved a hand in front of her face to see if she could get her attention. The attempt was in vain. "Doku, Doku are you alright?" Kagome asked in soft tone. She gave Doku a slight shove and released a breath she hadn't known she'd been holding when Doku looked at her. "Are you ok?"

Doku shook her head. "Umm yea, could I talk to you real quick?"

Kagome looked at here confusedly "yea sure." She then looked around the room then back to Doku. "Lets go into the kitchen." She led Doku to the kitchen and sat down on the counter top by the sink. "What's up?"

"I just wanted to make sure of something. The person you were on the phone with, his name was Naraku?" Doku asked and leaned against the counter top next to Kagome.

"Yea," Kagome answered. "Do you know him?"

Doku looked down at her feet. "Yes, though I wish I didn't."

Kagome hopped down from the counter and stood in front of Doku. "What did he do to you?" Kagome asked sincerely.

Doku looked up at Kagome, tears threatening to fall. "I was walking home from school one day. It was around 5 or 6; I'd been doing something for one of my teachers. Well I decided to take a sort-cut I knew. I walked by this one alleyway when two guys grabbed me. I struggled for a bit, but one of them slapped me hard across the face, so I just gave in. I thought if I did that then they would stop. I was wrong. The tied my hands up with rope and through me into the back of a car. It was a pretty hard blow to the head so I was a little out of it. I remembered one saying that Naraku would love me before I passed out." Doku paused to wipe away the tears that were falling. "I woke and found that I was tied to a bed, naked. I turned my head and saw a man sitting on the edge of the bed just staring at me. He grabbed my chin and said that his underlings had picked a good one and forcefully kissed me. I struggled against him and bit his tongue, but he only smiled. The sick bastard got off on it. Then he crawled up on top of me and removed him clothes and then he-he-he raped me. The whole time he kept telling me to scream out his name 'scream out Naraku, baby' he said. He said that if I didn't he'd be forced to 'cut up my beautiful little body.' I didn't know what to do, so I complied. When he was done he let me go but said he'd be around again. He said I was the best fuck he'd had in ages."

Kagome pulled Doku in a hug and stroked her hair. "I was so scared," Doku said through sobs. "I ran away so he wouldn't find me, but he always did. After a few months he got tired of me. He said if I ever told the police he'd murder my family while they were sleeping."

Kagome let Doku cry on her shoulder for a few minutes before pulling away. She placed her hands on either side of Doku's face, forcing her to look her in the eyes. "I want you to stay here. You'll be safe. I won't let him get you again. You hear me! If it's the last thing I do, I'll make sure the bastard dies!" Kagome pulled Doku into another embrace before telling her to go back to her room. "I'll be there in a few minutes to get supplies that I'll need, but you can stay there for tonight. I'll have Hiten stay with you so you don't have to worry about him."

Kagome walked into the living room and sat on the couch. "Hiten, you're staying here."

Hiten looked at Kagome wide-eyed. "But I can help!"

"You're sister needs you here. And don't ask about what we talked about, she'll tell you in her own time. Just…just look out for her. She's really upset." Kagome explained.

Hiten slumped on the couch. "Ok. Just be safe ok?"

Kagome smiled and turned her head to look at him. "Worrying about me already, eh? Shit, if I knew you were like this I wouldn't have kicked you in the balls!" She said laughingly.

"You kicked him in the balls!" Miroku and Inuyasha screamed in unison.

"Hey! He deserved it! The fucker sucker punched me and had me up against one of the lockers chocking me. I had to get him off somehow!" Kagome defended.

Miroku grabbed his groin and winced as though he could feel the pain. "But did you HAVE to kick him there? Do you know how much that hurts?"

"Oh god. Hiten's a fucking demon. He was just stunned for a while. He was back on his feet within a few minutes." Kagome said waving it off as if it were nothing.

"It still hurt though" Hiten mumbled.

Kagome gave Hiten an evil smirk. "Which do you think hurts more, a kick in the balls or being purified? I could've purified your ass, ya know!"

"That's true. So I guess in a way I should be grateful that you only kicked me in the balls." Hiten said and leaned back on the couch.

"You're just gonna admit defeat like that, man? After she kicked you in the balls!" Inuyasha said, bewildered.

"Inuyasha?" Kagome said sweetly.

Inuyasha looked at Kagome, "Yea"

Kagome smiled, "Sit!" Kagome's smile widened when she saw Inuyasha plummet face first into the floor. "Oh how I LOVE the power miko's have over Inu-hanyous!"

Hiten and Sesshoumaru looked back and forth between Kagome and Inuyasha in shock. "Holy shit man! How'd you do that?" Hiten questioned.

"It' a subjugation spell used by a miko on an inu-hanyou when the inu-hanyou is being unruly." Kagome explained. "And the best part of the spell is that I can change it around to make it so that if ANY demon decides to piss me off I can use it on them as well." She said, an evil glint in her eyes as she saw Sesshoumaru and Hiten gulp in fear.

"Too bad demon's can't use the subjugation spell as well," Sesshoumaru said. "It would have been much easier to get the brat to shut up."

Kagome laughed then looked at Sango, who was uncharacteristically quiet. "Sango, what's wrong?"

"I'm worried about Kohaku, Sesshoumaru had him dropped off at home but he hasn't called yet. I've got this really bad feeling." Sango explained. "Could we just go to my apartment to see if he's ok?"

"No problem, let me go get a jacket. Inu, can you drive us there?" Kagome asked.

"No sweat." Inuyasha said. "I'll meet you guys in the car."


Kohaku walked up the stairs of his and his sister's apartment building. He couldn't wait until he got to his own bed. He'd been up the whole night from the shock of Kagome's condition. And then to find out that Kagome was now perfectly fine was a shock to his system. He couldn't wait to just lay down and get some much needed sleep.

When he reached the apartment door and went to open it, he was shocked to find that it was unlocked. "We must have forgotten to lock it when we raced to the hospital." Kohaku told himself before shrugging it off as nothing. He walked into the apartment , took off his shoes and jacket, and then walked into his bedroom. He walked in and turned on the light before stopping dead in his tracks. "How?"

"Hello Kohaku?" Said a voice from inside his bedroom. "Miss me?"

"How did you find us?" He asked, too shocked to move.

"A man by the name of Naraku Hinote found out where you lived and called me up. And I must say, I'm very grateful to him. How would it look if word got out that my foster children ran away and couldn't be found?" Jashin said and smiled at the look of absolute horror on Kohaku's face. He stood up and started to slowly advance on Kohaku, fully intent on causing some bodily harm. "Now come here and accept your punishment like a good boy."

Kohaku shook his head as he took a step backward. "No," he whispered.

"What, I couldn't hear you?"

"I said, no." Kohaku said with a little more courage.

Jashin unbuckled his belt and took it off of his person. "I'd rethink that statement if I were you." He said and cracked the belt against his leg, showing Kohaku that he was beyond angry.

"Why can't you leave us alone!" Kohaku screamed and back up into the wall.

Jashin smiled a wicked smile. "Because I like to see you scream in pain."

"You sadistic bastard!" He yelled again.

Jashin took another step forward before stopping to study the way Kohaku pressed his back against the wall, as if hoping it would swallow him up. He smiled wickedly before pouncing and dragging Kohaku into the bedroom. He shoved him on the bed and used the belt to make a makeshift gag before unbuttoning his pants. Before he could even lower his pants the bedroom door swung open and he saw his foster daughter standing in the doorway with too other people. "Why hello Sango, and who might these two be."

"Kohaku!" Sango screamed and started to run to him before she was stopped by Kagome's arm. She looked at Kagome and saw the look of intense anger in her eyes. "He's mine," was all Kagome said before she walked into the bedroom

"Kohaku get out of here." She said, never taking her eyes off the man in front of her. Kohaku nodded and quickly ran out of the room and into his sister's arms.

Jashin sized Kagome up before giving a hearty laugh. "And what do you think you're gonna do to me? Scratch me with your nails?"

Kagome growled and let some of her energy to seep through her body. "You are one sick freak" was all she said before charging him and punching him in the face. She punched him a few more times until he was on the floor writhing in pain. She kneeled down and forced him to look at her. "Now you listen to me. If I EVER find out that you have so much as said a WORD to my friends, I will NOT hesitated to cut off your dick and feed it to you." To prove her pint she grabbed his member and squeezed hard. "Now you will go home and you will forget you EVER had Sango and Kohaku as foster children, or I SWEAR to Kami I will PERSONALLY make your life a living hell." She let go of his member when she saw him nod his head rapidly. "Good, now get the hell out of here before I change my mind and castrate you right now." She said standing up and walking out of the room.

When Kagome reached the living room she saw Sango on the couch holding a trembling Kohaku in her arms. Inuyasha was standing off to the side, his face clearly showing how angry he was at the sight he walked in on. Kagome walked up to Sango and Kohaku and kneeled down so that she was eye level with them. "If he calls, writes, or comes by tell me and I'll make sure that he's in so much pain he'll be wishing for death." She then stood up and walked over to Inuyasha.

"What did you do to him?" Inuyasha asked.

"Roughed him up a little bit, then promised to castrate him if he so much as thought about them." She said, an evil glint in her eyes.

Inuyasha snorted. "I would have done it right then."

"I would've but I didn't want the cops on my ass." Kagome watched as Jashin walked into the living room. "Look at them and I'll rip out your eyes." Kagome said through gritted teeth. "Call the cops and I'll murder you and your wife in your sleep." Jashin shuddered and swore he could feel her anger even though they were 10 feet apart. He quickly left the apartment, not wanting to invoke the woman's wrath again.


Kagome walked into her new home, still peeved at what she had witnessed over at Sango's apartment. She still couldn't understand what made adults want to rape a child. 'It's a ghastly offense and no child should ever have to go through something so horrible.' She thought before shuddering at the images that wouldn't stop flowing through her head; Sango's foster father huddle over Kohaku just about to rape him, Naraku raping and beating her everyday for 3 years, the cuts and bruises left behind after he pleasured himself with her body. Shaking her head of the images, Kagome walked into the living and sat down on the couch. She looked at the clock on the wall opposite of where she sat. "7 PM" she read aloud. "In 2 hours we leave to form a 'truce' with Naraku."

Inuyasha sat down next to her. "Yea, and we're down one fighter. I know Sango's not going to be up to fighting right now."

"We'll just have to be more careful." Kagome said.

"What happened to Sango?" Miroku questioned

Kagome looked up and saw Miroku sitting on the love seat in front of her. "Have you been there the whole time?"

Miroku quirked a brow, "Yea. Now tell me what the fuck happened!" He demanded

"We walked in on Sango's foster father about to rape Kohaku." Kagome stopped when she heard a gasp. "Yea, I kicked the guys ass and threatened to castrate him. Problem solved. Well, one of them at least." Kagome slumped in her seat.

"So what are we gonna do?" Miroku asked.

"Well, we'll walk in together and if Naraku tries anything we go into full battle mode. I'm not in the mood to think up a plan and we really don't have the time for it. Plus we don't know the area." Kagome explained.

"True." Inuyasha cradled his head in his hands. "This is definitely a bad day." He mumbled.

Kagome snorted. "No shit." She said and stood up. "I'm gonna go check up on Doku and get my supplies. I'll be back in a few."

Miroku and Inuyasha watched as Kagome left the room. "Do you think we should've answered this one?" Miroku asked.

"You know we should've." Inuyasha answered.

Miroku sighed. "I know, but we're getting too emotionally attached."

"It was to be expected." Came Sesshoumaru voice from the hallway.

"Whaddya mean?" Inuyasha asked.

"When we first met Kagome and Sango in the chat they both had hard times trusting people." Sesshoumaru explained while taking a seat on a reclining chair. "And the only way to get someone's trust is to become emotionally attached."

"True. But now we have one emotion that should never be involved in these things." Miroku said. He eyed the two brothers before speaking again. "Love. We're just supposed to help them, tell them who we are, then leave. We can't do that in this case."

Sesshoumaru leaned back in his chair. "Well, then when we are done we'll just ask them to join the force. We could use the extra help."

"Sounds good to me." Inuyasha said before standing up and stretching. "I'm gonna go get my sword and take a shower. You guys should get ready to. We leave in about an hour." He said and left to get the things he would need.

"Sango and Kagome are still gonna take the news pretty hard." Miroku said to Sesshoumaru.

"We'll deal with it when it comes." Sesshoumaru said, his voice indifferent. He stood as well and looked at Miroku. "Get ready. Only bring the necessities. I don't want to look like we're expecting a battle. We'll catch him by surprise."


Kagome walked into her bedroom and saw Doku asleep on her bed. She smiled softly before going to her dresser. She pulled open the top drawer and dug around before finding what she needed: her case of daggers. She hadn't used them in a while but she knew her aim was still perfect. She placed the case on her dresser before opening her second drawer and pulling out a shirt. It was a plain black shirt, but she had sewn a pocket on the inside of both sleeves that would hold her daggers. She then opened another drawer and pulled out a pair of black cargo pants. She then shed the clothes that she was currently wearing and traded them for her cargos and black shirt.

Kagome walked to her closet and took her guitar case out. She placed it gently on the floor and opened it. She looked over her guitar before taking it out and placing it on the floor beside her. After taking her guitar our she felt around the edges of the guitar case and popped out the bottom, revealing a secret compartment holding a dozen cases of different types of shuriken and ninja stars. She grabbed two cases of Bo Shuriken and placed one in each of her back pockets. She then grabbed two cases of ninja stars and placed them in the bottom pockets of her pants legs. And lastly she grabbed two cases of Hira Shuriken (also known as Shaken) and placed them in the pockets at her hips.

Kagome quickly replaced the cover to the compartment. She then carefully placed her guitar inside and closed the case. She walked to her closet and placed the guitar case back inside and looked for her leather trench coat. When she found it she place it on her person and walked over to her dresser. She opened her case of dagger and placed two in each sleeve of her shirt and two more in the inside pockets of her coat.

'I need two more things and I'm done.' Kagome thought while walking to her bed. She kneeled down and pulled out two rectangular boxes. She opened the first to reveal a Tanto sword. She then opened the second box to reveal another Tanto sword. "I may be able to create swords, but it takes to much energy." She said to herself. "Plus I like these, they form a double bladed sword when connected at the base." She took both Tanto swords and placed them in the lower inner pockets of her trench coat. She then stood up closed the boxes and placed them back under her bed.

"Time to get this show on the road." Kagome whispered to herself before leaving her bedroom to meet her friends in the living room.


Inuyasha, Miroku, and Sesshoumaru stood in the living room waiting for Kagome. "Leave it to Kagome to take forever." Inuyasha mumbled to himself.

"I was getting prepared." Came Kagome's muffled voice.

Inuyasha looked up to see Kagome walking into the living room while brushing her hair, a hair tie in her mouth. "Took you long enough!" he said.

Kagome took the hair tie from her mouth and placed her hair in a ponytail. She then opened her trench coat to reveal her swords protruding from the pockets. "I told you I was getting ready. And that's not all I have." She said smirking.

Sesshoumaru quirked a brow, "Why do you have two swords when you can create two of your own." He questioned.

Kagome pulled the swords from her pockets, unsheathed them, and twirled them simultaneously in her hands. "Those swords take too much energy to create. I'll need to conserve my energy in order to fight Naraku." Kagome twirled the swords one last time before connecting them. "Plus these make a double bladed sword." She said and proceed two twirl that one around. After a few more twirls she threw the sword in the air, caught it, took it apart, sheathed them, and placed them back into her pockets.

Kagome looked at Inuyasha, Sesshoumaru, and Miroku. Inuyasha was surprisingly wearing an outfit very similar to her own, the only difference being the color of his shirt. Sesshoumaru was wearing a pair of camouflage cargos, a camouflage shirt, and a black trench coat. Miroku opted to wear a pair of jeans and a dark blue shirt. "You guys ready?" She asked.

"Always." Inuyasha answered with a nod of his head. Sesshoumaru and Miroku nodded.

Kagome nodded before speaking. "Sesshou. Lead the way. You know where the summer home is."

Sesshoumaru walked over to the front door; Miroku, Inuyasha, and Kagome right behind. All four walked out of the house and into Sesshoumaru's car. Inuyasha and Miroku were in the back, while Kagome rode shotgun, and Sesshoumaru drove. "Thank you guys. For everything." Kagome said before letting Sesshoumaru drive in silence. 'This is going to be a long battle. And if it proves that I'll have to take Naraku down with my own demise, then so be it. I'll have to have the guys leave before hand though.' She thought as they drove in silence.

Kagome looked at her wristwatch. 9:05. 'I hope you had a nice dinner Naraku. Cause it'll be the last thing you'll ever eat.' She thought before relaxing in the seat and closing her eyes. She'd need to preserve her energy. A long battle awaited her and her friends.
