I…have nothing to say other than stuff to my reviewers. So here's chapter 8. Long wait aye? ;P

Shichinintai's Girl: Why thank you. This chapter gives a little more info on Sesshomaru, but not much. He's not a cold-hearted bastard in this story though. So that's always good.

Last Chapter:

As they walked through the door to Inuyasha's mansion they were greeted by a loud,

"INUYASHAAAAAAAAAA!" yelled by none other than, Sesshomaru.

Currently:

"What the fuck did you buy? Beach Bunny Swimwear, Buckle, Victoria's Secret, Sephora!" he screamed from upstairs at his brother who stood cowering behind Kagome from the initial shock of his brother's yelling.

"Your brother I presume?" she asked innocently, giggling slightly, but was actually terrified.

"INUYASHA GET YOUR ASS UP HERE, NOW!" he was too angry at the thousands of dollars his little brother blew while he was supposed to be at school to notice the distinct scent of a scared young girl down stairs.

"Come on Kagome, if you come up with me, he's less likely to kill me."

"Coward."

"Am not."

"Are too."

"Am not!"

"Are too!" and they kept up this 'fight' until they stood at the doorway of Sesshomaru's office.

"You go in first."

"No way, he's your brother!"

"But he won't kill you!"

"What if he thinks I'm you when I walk in?"

"Lets try," he said, shoving her through the door, he heard a crash and ran in after her, he didn't expect his brother to actually hit her! "Shit, Sesshomaru…" he started yelling as he ran through the door, he then found a frightened Kagome sitting in the corner, a smashed vase on the ground near her, Sesshomaru was trying desperately to calm her, saying he thought she was Inuyasha. "What the hell did you do?" Inuyasha screamed.

"Why the hell would you send her in first?" he yelled back.

"I thought you'd at least look before throwing something! I mean, couldn't you smell that she wasn't me? You're a full demon after all!"

"Shut up!"

"NO, why the fuck did you throw that at her?"

"I thought she was you."

"E…excuse m…me…"

"WHAT?" both brothers yelled, snapping their heads towards the cowering girl in the corner next to them, both seething with rage at the other, but once they saw the poor girl, both's expressions softened and they kneed down in front of the now crying girl. Inuyasha instinctively wrapped an arm around her small frame, and when she turned into his chest he started stroking the back of her hair with his free hand as she sobbed into his shirt.

"I…I'm s…sorry Inu…Inu…Inuyasha, I…I didn't mean to…to start…start cr...crying…"

"Shh, it's okay Kagome, I'm sorry we yelled at you, it's not your fault, shh." He cooed in her ear, trying to calm her shaking figure.

"Why don't you take her to the guest room to get some sleep? You and I need to have a chat." Sesshomaru told his brother.

"Yeah, okay, come one Kagome, let's get you some rest," he said as he brought her to the guest room next to his bedroom, then brought up her bags of clothes, etc.(AN: so I forgot to have them buy pajamas, so just pretend they bought some at Victoria's secret from Pink, cause they have cute ones.) and she changed into a pair of electric blue sweats that had 'Pink' written down the side of them in navy blue with a white outline and a white shirt that said 'Have A Pink Day' in electric blue over a navy blue 'school' emblem. After Inuyasha was sure she was settled down he left to go back to his brother's office.

"Who is that?" Sesshomaru demanded as Inuyasha walked through the door.

"Kagome, you remember Kagome don't you? We used to go over to her house when we were kids."

"Ah, yes. I thought you hated her."

"I did."

"What changed your mind?"

"It's a long story."

"Make it fast, I have work to do."

"She was acting strange at school today, and for some reason I decided to take her to my thinking spot, the one no one knows where it is, she started crying when she was thinking, she told me her father beat her and kicked her out of the house for a week, then we went shopping."

"Wait, her father beats her? Like that Sango girl?"

"Sango's dad is dead, has been for a while."

"I know that. But that Kagome girl, her father beats her?"

"Yes."

"And he kicked her out of the house for a week?"

"Yes."

"Where is she staying?"

"Well…you see…I was hoping to talk to you about that…" Inuyasha said, scratching the back of his head nervously.

"She may stay here. I need more information from her anyways."

"For what?"

"You seem to forget I am a lawyer little brother."

"But why would you want to help her? She can't pay you."

"She was very important to me when we were younger. That's all you need to know. Now leave."

"Bastard." Inuyasha mumbled as he left his brother's office, he was almost out of the door when his brother called him back in. "What is it now?"

"You may want to tell Kikyo you're in love with someone else. Now, leave." He said and ushered Inuyasha out of the door, locking it behind him.

"Wait, what?" Inuyasha stood dazed and confused outside of his brother's office for a few moments. "In love with who?" he silently asked himself, walking towards his room. 'Maybe I just need some sleep. I wonder who Sesshomaru was talking about…it couldn't be…' and that's where his thoughts ended, for as soon as he laid his head down on his pillow, he fell into a deep, dreamless sleep.

Two Hours Later (Midnight):

Kagome awoke with a start, she was dreaming of he father, the dream was so vivid that she thought it was really happening, of course, it didn't help that it had many times before. Tears were streaming down her face, as she checked around her room to make sure no one was there, she also checked her clothing to make sure it was still there, she was dreaming of the first time he raped her, she was so young, only 13. He had come home very drunk, a girl at the bar had turned hi down so he did the next best thing, his daughter, she screamed for his to stop, trying to break free of his grasp, but that just made him more aggressive, she pleaded for him to stop, but he wouldn't listen. There was no chance of escape, but she kept trying anyways, but only succeeded in having to be tied down to the bed, he wanted her awake for this. It was the worst experience of her life, and she had to relive it at least once a week since then. But now, she was free, well, at least for a week she was, she didn't want to return to her father, but she knew she had to, she couldn't avoid him forever. The few tears that had been falling down her face multiplied as she felt she could no long hold back the wall of tears that was forming behind her chocolate brown eyes, her gentle sobs began wracking her body as she silently sat up and headed out of her room, she didn't know where she was going, but she knew it was somewhere where she would feel safe. The only rooms in the house she knew were the guest room and Sesshomaru's office, but she found herself wandering to the room down the hall from hers, she slowly opened the door and peeked in, no one, so she made her way down the hall once more, peering through the next door she came upon, there he was, as she entered the room, he looked up at her, eyes full of questions as her ran towards her falling figure, as they sat there on the ground, her cradled in his arms he rocked back and forth.

"What's wrong Kagome?"

"I…I…I…I h…had a b…bad d…dream." She sobbed into his muscular chest.

"Shh, it's okay now. What did you dream about?"

"My…my d…dad." She whimpered.

"What about him?"

"He…he…he…he r…raped m…me."

"Has he really done that before?"

"Y…yes."

"For how long?" he asked, becoming extremely concerned for her well-being.

"T…three years."

"Alright, lets get you to Inuyasha's room, he'll take care of you until I can take you back to my room, okay?"

"B…but…but w…what i…if…"

"He won't hurt you, I promise." He cooed to her broken form, she seemed so weak, he had to help her, she was always like a little sister to him, and when their families grew apart he was crushed, he missed his little sister dearly, and now he had her back, he wasn't going to lose her again. He smiled softly at the, now sleeping, girl in his arms and carried her to his brother's room. She was so light, like she hadn't eaten in years, well, he was going to change that, he would cook breakfast tomorrow morning himself, or maybe it would be better to have the chefs do it, he wasn't that great of a cook, but he'd watch over them and make sure everything was perfect. "Inuyasha," he whispered, knowing full well that the boy could hear him, he didn't want to risk waking the sleeping girl, "Inuyasha, get up you bastard, Kagome had a bad dream, she's going to sleep in here with you until I'm done with my work." He yell-whispered at the mound under the covers, gently placing the frail young girl down under the covers next to his brother, "And don't you dare touch her, I'll explain in the morning."

"Whatever," Inuyasha whispered back, but was secretly crushed that she would go to his brother instead of him, but the words Sesshomaru had spoken earlier rang through his ears, 'She was very important to me when we were younger, what does that mean?' he wondered to himself as he slowly drifted back into the realm of sleep.
