I wish, I wish , I wish…I wish I were a fish. Haha, idk where that came from. So here's CHAPTER 10!! YEAH BOI!!

MarineMP18: updates will always come pretty fast with this story, at least for the next couple chapters, there's a lot to write and sometimes I just don't want to stop, but I have to, Spring Break is coming to an end, so it may be a week between each chapter after the next like 2. Sigh. I hate school.

Flam1ng1c3: I'm glad you like it. And I'm writing as fast as I can.

PyroFreak101: I'll do that one of these times. But first she has to warm up to him. He was her worst enemy just yesterday you know. And don't worry bout reading the chapters as soon as they come out. It just gives you more to do the next time you do, cause I try to get chapters up pretty fast, so yeah. :D

WildLatin: Thanks, I'm glad you like Sesshy's soft side.

Shichinintai's Girl: okay, first off you should be very proud of me cause I spelled your name right without looking, the first time I tried I had to check back like 900 times. Yess, go me! And Inuyasha may be just a LITTLE jealous ;). Or maybe a lot. Hehe. Yeah, I don't like Sesshomaru as a cold hearted bastard either. That's why he's not going to be in my story!

Last Chapter:

"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.

Currently:

The smell of food woke Kagome from her sleep, she remembered last night's events and blushed slightly, Sesshomaru had been like her big brother when she was younger, but she thought it was odd that she would still seek comfort from him at this age. She looked around the room and instantly recognized it as his. It was simple, yet sophisticated, but also seemed to have many secrets hidden within it, it was totally a Sesshomaru room. The last thing she remembered about last night, however, was being carried to Inuyasha's room, he must have come and got her after he was done working, he always was like that with her, made every effort to make sure she was comfortable. That's why she loved him so much, it seemed he hadn't changed much since they grew apart as children, she was crushed when the Takahashis moved away, but moved on with her life, she had to take care of her mother and brother. She didn't even know if the two brothers knew they were dead.

"Hey," Inuyasha whispered through the door, "I know you're awake, can I talk to you for a bit?"

"I guess," Kagome yawned, wondering what it was about.

"Cool, meet me in my room."

"Alright, I'll be there in a minute, let me wake up first."

"Hurry, this is important, and I want to talk to you before Sesshomaru realizes you're awake and shoves the 90 things he had the chefs make for breakfast down your throat." Kagome giggled at that, Sesshomaru was always looking out for her; he probably noticed how skinny she was when he carried her around last night.

"Alright, alright already, I'm up, hold your horses." She said cheerfully, she always was a morning person; it was her favorite time of day, no beatings, no loud noises, no nothing, just her and her own little happy world. She got up, walked to the door, and to her surprise when she opened it no one was there. She looked around curiously for Inuyasha and decided that in the few seconds it took her to get up and walk to the door he had disappeared back into his room. "Inuyasha?" she called as she knocked on his bedroom door.

"Come in."

"So, what did you want to talk about?" she inquired, looking around his, very…Inuyasha, room. The walls were blood red, except for one that was painted black, his door, which was on the wall opposite the black one, was also black. He had posters of bands and bikini clad women adorning his walls and an American Series 60th Anniversary Stratocaster Fender in the Three-Color Sunburst (AN: It's a good guitar okay?) in the corner, Kagome loved guitars and ran straight to it, she had one of her own in her room, although hers was no where near as expensive or good as this one. She had an Ibanez Prestige in black, good, awesome looking, but his was way better. She stopped right in front of it and slowly reached her hand out to touch it, only to have her wrist grabbed by Inuyasha who had a stern look on his face.

"Nobody touches my Baby. I bet you don't even know how to handle a guitar, let alone play one."

"You're probably right. Now, what do you want to talk about?"

"Why did you go to Sesshomaru last night?"

"I h…had a bad dream?" she answered timidly.

"Don't be scared, I'm not mad, I just want to know why you would go to him instead of me."

"I…I don't know really…I guess I just feel safe with him."

"Why?"

"He and I used to be close when we were little, he was like my big brother. When you guys moved away, I was crushed…"

"Hm, come to think of it, Sessh was pretty bummed too…"

"He was?" she asked eagerly, but soon felt guilty that she was happy for him being sad.

"Yeah, he didn't want to move, no one knew why, I guess you were it."

"I guess so," she said, smiling to herself. At least he felt the same way she did when they moved. She thought he would've just moved on.

"Now, about this whole living here thing…"

'Oh boy, here it comes…'

"I have to lay down a few rules…Rule number one: don't come into my room without permission. Rule number two: don't tag along with me to parties and such, if I want you to come, I'll invite you, don't invite yourself. And rule number three: don't invite people over other than Sango or Miroku"

"That's it?"

"That's it. Oh, except…"

"Nope, you already said that was it."

"But this ones important!"

"La la la la la!" she sang, plugging her ears with her fingers and sticking out her tongue.

"Kagome, listen." He stated firmly, grabbing her wrists and pulling her fingers from her ears. She instantly stopped what she was doing and focused on what he was saying.

"You can't tell anyone, and I mean anyone you're staying here other than Sango and Miroku, got it?" she nodded, "Good."

"Will Kikyo be coming over?"

"Huh?"

"Kikyo, your girlfriend, will she be coming over?"

"No, she doesn't know where I live, why?"

"Just wondering, cause I didn't think I could stand being around her."

"Well if she did come over you'd have to get out of the house for a while, wouldn't want her seeing you here now would I? I have an image to uphold ya know."

"Jackass."

"Breakfast is ready!" Sesshomaru called up the stairs.

"Come on Kagome," Inuyasha yelled, "Last one down is a rotten egg!"

"Hey, cheater! You can't use your demon speed!" she yelled back, trying to catch the hanyou.

"Sure I can, watch me." He winked as he speed up, and collided into Sesshomaru, who just happened to be carrying a bowl of Coco Puffs which just happened to spill everywhere, which just happened to piss him off.

"INUYASHAAAAA!"

"Hehe, oops?"

"Clean this mess up, NOW!" he yelled, making the hanyou scramble to his feet in an effort to get out of the way of the seething inu-yokai and set upon his task of cleaning up the milky mess. "Oh, hello Kagome," he said as she rounded the corner, clearly out of breath, his tone instantly brightening as he saw her. "I had the chefs prepare a grand breakfast for you."

"Thank you Sesshomaru, but you really didn't have to."

"On the contrary I did, you see, you are very much under weight, and since I am your primary care-taker for the next week, it is my duty to feed you properly."

"Well, thanks again Sesshy." She grinned at the name she gave him as a child, and so did he.

"Eat up, you have a big day ahead of you, I hear Inuyasha is going to a party tonight and he will be taking you with him, which means you will need a new outfit. Here is my credit card, and buy a camera while you are out."

"Of course." She giggled. She always loved the way he carried himself, he was always so proper, it made her laugh. "Is there anything else we can get while we're out?"

"No, I can get the rest while I am out. I will see you when you get back."

"Bye Sesshy!" she yelled as he left the mansion. "Hey Inu?"

"Inu?"

"Yeah, your names too long. But anyways, can I ask you a favor?"

"Depends on what it is."

"Can you drive me to Kouga's? I have to thank him for the ride to school."

"No."

"Please?"

"I said no."

"Why not?" she asked, hands on her hips and a stern look on her face. Inuyasha had to admit, she looked cute.

"Because I said no."

"Why did you say no?"

"Because Kouga's an egotistical bastard who thinks he can get any girl with the snap of his fingers."

"So it's because he's exactly like you?"

"No, there's a huge difference between the two of us."

"Oh, and what's that?" she mocked.

"He thinks he can get any girl with the snap of his fingers, I know I can." He said grinning widely.

"Egotistical bastard." Kagome mumbled.

"Yup, that's me." Inuyasha grinned again.

"Well at least you admit it." She giggled. "We should get going."

"Going where?"

"Well, like Sesshy said, I'm gunna need a new outfit for the party tonight, and we need to stop by Kouga's."

"No, and no. I told you you're not going to parties with me unless I invite you to, and we just went over the whole Kouga thing!"

"Well, I'm not sure how Sesshomaru will feel about you leaving me all alone on a Saturday night," she looked up innocently at the tall boy, "But I guess we'll just have to find out ourselves now won't we?"

"Fine, you can come to the party." He sighed, knowing how mad Sesshomaru would be if he disobeyed about something concerning the young girl. "But we're not going to Kouga's and that's final."

"Fine, he'll probably be at the party anyways. Now, lets go shopping." She smiled, she actually enjoyed their trip yesterday, she hadn't been shopping since she was 10, her dad usually bought her clothes when he thought she needed them, not that she wore them, they vaguely reminded her of the swim suit she bought yesterday. She was glad she still fit into clothes he bought her before she started, blossoming. She shuttered and hoped Inuyasha hadn't noticed.

"Hey, what was that about?"

'Of course he noticed stupid. He notices everything, I wonder why that is…'

"Why did you shudder like that?"

'What are you going to tell him? He doesn't know everything about your dad yet, does he? Did Sesshomaru tell him? '

"Kagome?" Inuyasha was starting to worry, her eyes looked so distant, like she was in another world.

'Would Sesshy tell him? Well if he did it must be for my own good, Sesshy would never do something to hurt me. Would he?'

"Earth to Kagome!" he started waving his hands frantically in front of her face.

'No, he's not like my father, he loves me. He wouldn't hurt me. But does Inuyasha know? Do I trust him enough to tell him?'(AN: just FYI, Sesshomaru does NOT have any love interest in Kagome, and she doesn't in him, when I say they love each other it's a brother/sister love, kay? I'm not making this a Kag/Sess fic.)

"Kagome, come back! Kagome?" Inuyasha now had his hands on her shoulders and was gently shaking her, trying to snap her out of her trance.

'Well here goes nothing…' she thought as she came back down to earth, realizing that Inuyasha was shaking her, "What are you doing?" she asked, causing Inuyasha to jump slightly.

"Jeez! Why'd you have to scare me like that? Mind telling me why you shuddered then went into this weird trance-like state?"

"I was just thinking."

"Thinking bout what?" he asked as if he was a young school girl flirting with a guy she liked, which cause Kagome to laugh lightly.

"Stuff."

"Stuff like?"

"My dad."

"Don't worry about him Kags, he won't bother you anymore, Sesshomaru's working on getting you out of that house as we speak." Kagome didn't listen to the last part of the sentence, she was stuck on what he said before.

"Kags?"

"Yeah, well, your names too long too." Inuyasha blushed, after a minute's pause the last part of his sentence finally registered in Kagome's head.

"SESSHOMARU'S DOING WHAT?!" she screamed at the hanyou.

"He's trying to get you out of your house. Why what's wrong?"

"No. He can't do that. I have to go back, you don't understand! I can't leave him! You don't know what he's capable of! He'll find me! Plus I have no where to live, I'll have to live on the streets, and then I'll have no one to protect me. I'll be a sitting duck, he'll kill me!" she started rambling very quickly, terrified of what was going to happen.

"Kags…Kags…Kagome! Stop!" Inuyasha said, grabbing her shoulders as she finished her ramblings, "Don't worry about it, Sesshomaru has it under control. And do you really think he'll let you live out on the streets? If worse comes to worse you'll just live with us, I'm sure that's what Sessh wants anyways. So calm down, everything will be fine, no one will hurt you." As soon as the words escaped his mouth Kagome started bawling into the boy's chest.

"You…you d…don't under…understand!" she sniffed, "He…he w…won't just k…kill m…me. He…he'll k…kill an…anyone w…who t…tries to…to h…help me as…as w…well. He…he c…can't be…be stopped!"

"Shh, Kagome, it's okay now, he won't hurt anyone. Sesshomaru and I will protect you, no matter what, you're safe. We'll get your little brother and your mom out of there too." As if on cue, Kagome started crying violently again.

"You…you can't." she said through the waterfall of tears.

"Why not? It won't be hard." He was totally confused, you' think she'd want to get them out.

"It's impossible." She started again, the tears starting to dissipate, she figured she must have run her eyes dry, no matter how hard she tried, the tears just wouldn't come. She used them all up, they used to soften the pain in her heart, letting out the heartache with the little droplets of salt-water, but now they were gone, now when she needed them the most, they abandoned her, just like everything else good in her life, they just disappeared, never to return.

"Why? Kagome, please, just tell me. I need to know so I can help."

"They're dead." She said grimly, like her soul had left her body, she was a shell of her former being, "They're dead and buried in my back yard, nobody noticed when they died, nobody but me and their murderer. They hadn't come out of the house for years, Souta was being home schooled, it was all part of his plan, he planned to kill them, that bastard planned it all! He wanted them dead! He just waited until he could make it seem like it was my fault!" her eyes seemed to be on fire as the realization hit her, it wasn't her fault they were dead, he was going to kill them anyways, the question was, why did he want to keep her around?

"Oh my God, Kagome, I'm so sorry. Are you sure you want to go out tonight? You and I can stay in and watch movies. Shit, why would your dad do something like that?"

"He's not my father, not anymore. My father died when he killed my family."

"Well do you want to go to the party tonight? Or do you want to stay in?" he asked, trying to change from the depressing subject they were on.

"We're going out. Give me your keys. I'm driving." She said as she snatched the car keys from his hand and walked out the door, Inuyasha stood stunned for a moment, then realizing what just happened ran after the girl yelling that it was his car so he was driving.

Oh, whats going to happen next? I know! Sucks for all you readers cause i'm not telling whats happening in the next chapter! You'll just have to keep reading to find out. I know, I am mean.
