Hey my wonderful readers

Okay, so I lied at the end of the last chapter, I didn't start writing right away. Sorry guys, I was busy reading a story my friend wrote and lost track of time…so now it's Saturday at 2 AM and I'm writing for you even though I'm super tired. I just got home from a Surprise 18th Cosmic Bowling Party for my big sisters best friend and her twin sister. Wow, it was so much fun. But I'm wiped out, but I wanted to write for you all cause I haven't written in forever and I didn't want to keep you all waiting for this chapter. Love you guys. Btw, this was my CHOICE not my OBLIGATION, just clarifying that to all you silly readers who are feeling bad cause I said all that stuff. I CHOSE to write. 3

PyroFreak101: don't worry. The time will soon come when she and Inuyasha are back stronger than ever, she is just very frightened at the moment. She'll come to her senses soon enough. Thanks btw.

BoredGirl17: well, she didn't break easily you know, first her grandmother died, then her father became abusive, then her killed her mother and brother, then her raped her. I'd say it took a lot to break her, but that's just me. She doesn't eat anything because she can't in the afternoons or nights cause she'll just throw it up from the beatings, and in the mornings she has to sneak food before her dad wakes up. I mentioned it in an earlier chapter, but it wasn't a big thing back there so I'm not surprised you missed it :D.

KagsYash12: I know, grilled cheese is amazing isn't it? Thanks so much for your review. I like to know how my readers are liking the story.

Brighteyez324: Thanks, I'm glad you like it, I update pretty often, so you shouldn't have to wait long between chapters.

Shichinintai's Girl: haha, I thought you might like the boxers part. I'm updating ASAP.:D

KagomeMarie: Yeah, thought I might brighten the mood a little bit, didn't want any readers being all sad.

MarineMP18: I wish I could update everyday too, I love writing this. I write every chance I can, but I'll try to type faster for you. Hopefully I can get it done in time. I just don't want to rush the story too much, cause it will take away from the quality, but I'll go as fast as possible without compromising the story line.

Sgt. Justin Smith: thanks :D, glad you like it.

Neko-chan7625: well thank you, I'm glad you like it.:D

Last Chapter:

"Nothing still…hm…no wonder you're so skinny…well we'll just have to change that now won't we?" he grinned at the red faced girl. (AN: if you don't get it, she's embarrassed kay?).

Currently:

AT INUYASHA'S:(right after the party)

"Where's Kagome?"

"She went home with Bankotsu," he replied distantly, his mind focused on how to get her back. 'Why did I have to do that right in front of her? She was already traumatized from Taro, then I had to come in and yell, then I had to start beating the crap out of him. So what do I do now? I have to convince her to come back, I don't think I can handle her being at another guy's house, even if it is Bankotsu, he would never steal someone I lo…liked from me nor hurt her.'

"She WHAT?!" Sesshomaru screamed at his brother, grabbing him the collar and shaking him violently. "What the fuck do you mean she went home with Bankotsu?"

"She didn't want to come here."

"Why not?" he demanded.

"I…I…I, I didn't protect her, I left her alone at the party and she got raped! I beat the guy up and that scared her. Oh fucking kay?"

"I'll kill you later. Right now we have to get Kagome back and find that guy who raped her so I can kill him too."

"His names Taro Endo. He's Kikyo's fuck buddy. I'm going to bed." Inuyasha informed him quietly, dragging himself up the stairs to his room, when he was out of earshot Sesshomaru whispered to himself…

"I knew that bitch was bad news. Now I have even more of a reason to beat the crap out of that Taro kid." RING, RING, RING. "Damn phone, why does it have to be so loud?" he asked himself as he followed the continuous sound to the kitchen where he found the phone laying on the counter. "Hello?" he answered, clearly annoyed.

"Hey, it's Bankotsu, is Inuyasha there?"

"Hold on." He covered the receiver and yelled up the stairs, "Inuyasha! Wake up! Bankotsu's on the phone for you!" "He'll be right here."

"You didn't have to wake him up, I could've called later…"

"He just went upstairs, it's fine. In fact, here he is," he said, handing the phone to Inuyasha, giving him a look that said 'if you mess this up I'll kill you.' Inuyasha nodded in response and answered the phone.

"Hey Bankotsu, what's up? Is Kagome okay?"

"Actually, I wanted to talk to you about her…you see…I don't know where she is…"

"You LOST her!" he screamed at his friend, causing Sesshomaru to send the phone a deadly glare. Inuyasha signaled for him to calm down when Bankotsu spoke again.

"Calm down, I'm just messing with ya, she's fine," he said with a nervous laugh, "She's asleep upstairs, but she doesn't have any clothes for tomorrow, think you could pop by in the morning and bring her some?"

"Why can't you just pick some up? I doubt she wants to see me right now. Or I can send my brother."

"I just don't want to leave her alone right now, and if you really don't want to see her, I guess you could send your brother, I've never met him anyways."

"No, I'll come, what time do you want me there?"

"Is 9 good for you?"

"Perfect, see you in the morning."

"See ya."

"So she needs clothes?" Sesshomaru asked Inuyasha from the doorway of the kitchen.

"Yeah, I'm bringing her some in the morning."

"I am coming with you."

"You sure you want to admit to being my brother to another of my friends?"

"If it means seeing Kagome I shall. I must make sure she is alright."

"Feh, whatever. Be ready by 8:30 prissy boy. Goodnight."

"Goodnight." And with that, they both went their separate ways to their rooms each thinking the same thing 'I hope she's alright.'

Bankotsu's (Where we left off last chapter, so about 8:15):

"What can I make you for breakfast miss?" asked Bankotsu's cook, she was a pretty young girls, she had jet black, curly hair and hazel eyes, she was a sweet girl and a great cook, she could make just about everything perfectly.

"Um, I don't know, what's Bankotsu having?"

"Cereal, but he asked me not to let you have that, said you need a bigger breakfast than that, so what will it be?"

"Um, surprise me." Kagome smiled.

"Can do miss." The cook, who Kagome found out's name was Michiko (AN: means child of beauty), smiled back at her and headed towards the kitchen to begin preparing the food.

"Hello beautiful," a masculine voice came from behind, "And just who might you be?"

"I...I'm Kagome," she said shakily, men weren't exactly her favorite things right now, "Who…who are you?"

"Why I'm Mukotsu, you shall be my wife."

"WHAT?!"

"I said, you shall be my wife. You don't have a problem with this do you?"

"A…actually I do…"

"Oh really? And what's that?"

"I…I…I have a boyfriend."

"Oh, you do? Well, no matter, you shall still be mine. I shall get rid of your so called boyfriend in a matter of minutes."

"Oh really?" asked Bankotsu coming up from behind.

"Yes I shall big brother, she shall be mine, who is this boyfriend she speaks of?"

"I believe you will have to ask her that." This made Kagome give him a pleading look, but he just smiled at her.

"So, who is it?" the short Mukotsu looked up at the tall girl.

"His…his name is Inuyasha, and I don't think you want to mess with him, he's really strong and smart and…" she spoke quickly, being cut off by Bankotsu's hand on her shoulder, saying 'shh, calm down, it's alright.'

"I…Inuyasha is…is your BOYFRIEND?!"

"Yes, is that a problem?"

"Only if he doesn't want to be killed for even looking at you," said another voice from behind, another one of Bankotsu's brothers.

"Well," Bankotsu started, "I guess I should introduce my family then, well, my brothers at least, my parents are already at work, lets see, you've already met Mukotsu, this one," he pointed to the man that just talked, "This is Renkotsu, next," he pointed to the boy next to him, and kept going down the line like that, "this is Jakotsu, this is Ginkotsu, this is Suikotsu, and this is Kyokotsu."

"Wow," Kagome gawked, "Seven of you. That is… SO COOL! How do you guys all live in the same house? Do you guys get along? What's it like to have a big brother? How bout a little one? Do you like having six brothers? Why do all your names end in Kotsu? Where's the bathroom?" Kagome asked really fast.

"Down the hall first door to the right," Jakotsu answered sneering, when she was out of earshot he added "Damn bitch, taking my man."

"Calm down Jakotsu, not like he'd ever get with you anyways, he's not gay."

"I could make him gay, Renkotsu, if only he would give me the chance."

"He won't now leave him alone," added Suikotsu. Kagome was returning to the group when the door bell rang, Bankotsu left to go get it and all but Suikotsu went back upstairs to their rooms, "I noticed the bruises on your arm," he casually told Kagome as Michiko, who just set down a big plate of pancakes, bacon, toast, eggs, sausage, and waffles in front of the small girl, left the room.

"It's nothing," she said quickly, trying to cover them.

"If you say so…mind if I join you?" he asked, nodding his head towards her still very full plate.

"Be my guest, I could never eat all this," she smiled, glad for the change in subject. The two ate in silence and when Bankotsu walked into the room both asked who was at the door.

"Just some guy looking for Mukotsu, apparently he tried to get his girlfriend to marry him, I took care of it," he said nonchalantly, "Inuyasha should be here soon, if you want you can stay down here, or if you still don't want to see him, you know where my room is." Kagome slowly got up from her seat and headed up the stairs, "Make sure she's okay," he told Suikotsu, who followed after her.

In Bankotsu's room:

"Hey Kagome?"

"Yeah?"

"Can I see those bruises again? I'm training to become a doctor, I think I can help them."

"Um…I guess so…" she said, lifting the sleeve of Bankotsu's shirt.

"These are pretty bad, but look like they're healing, how long ago did you get them?"

Kagome pondered this for a second, it was Sunday, and she got kicked out of the house on Friday, so, "Two days ago."

"How?"

"Um, I'm just a klutz I guess, fell down the stairs."

"I see," Suikotsu said, not believing a word of it.

"Yup, so can you fix them?" she asked. He got up, left the room, and came back shortly with a bottle of what looked like lotion to her.

"Rub this on the bruises twice daily and they should be gone in two days, these ones, since they're old, will be gone by tomorrow." He told her, earning a hug of gratitude.

"Thank you." She smiled, hearing the doorbell downstairs again, she knew it was Inuyasha. A minute later Bankotsu came up the stairs.

"Um, both Inuyasha and Sesshomaru are here, they want to see you, well Inuyasha says if you don't want to see him you don't have to, but Sesshomaru won't take no for an answer."

"Send him up then." Bankotsu left to get the Inu-yokai downstairs, wishing she would see Inuyasha, for the boy's sake.

"Kagome," Sesshomaru breathed, giving her a huge hug, "here, we brought you some clothes, when are you coming back?"

"Tonight, don't tell Inuyasha please, I want it to be a surprise, tell him I won't be coming back." She smiled, wondering what his face will be like when he sees her at the door of his house that night, "I'll come around 5-ish, make sure he is the one who opens the door please."

"I will, see you later then?"

"See you later big brother," she smiled and pulled him into another bear hug.
