AN: Oh. Em. Gee.
Juicy: Don't start with that fucking AIM talk
I really do not understand why suddenly everyone wants to talk like they're writing a damn instant message, that crapadoodle is not appealing in the least.
J-Boi: Sho 'nuff
If any of you talk like that, please do the world a favor and kill yourself. No, that was mean. Cut off your tongue instead, you don't truly deserve to speak if you're going to go out of your way just to shorten everything so that people not only have a hell of a time understanding you, but they think you're a complete friggin' idiot too.
To answer kyekye's question, I make the chapters so short because I'm a sad excuse for a fanfiction author. It's also because my brain decides that the length they are is just fine. I try all the time to lengthen my chapters but (obviously) it usually doesn't work out too well. Sorry to disappoint you.

"Where is he?" Sango watched the classroom door with a confused stare. Inuyasha had been right behind them, at least that's what she thought.
"I have no idea," Miroku turned his attention away from their rambling teacher. Takeda-sensei was a new teacher and he'd come up with a project that required way too much descripton in most of the students' opinions. "I think he's still out in the hall."
"Doing what?" Sango asked in an exasperated tone. Inuyasha had been acting a little more than stange during the past few weeks and she knew it all had to do with Kagome. Sango had no problems with the changes in Inuyasha the new girl had caused but she was worried. After her little run in with Kikyo and her team of air-headed bimbos, no one had seen hide nor hair of the mean spirited bitch and under normal circumstances that would be more than wonderful. But it wasn't under normal circumstances seeing as how Sango had beaten Kikyo until her fists were raw and covered with blood. When she'd finally finishsed, she didn't know if Kikyo was quiet because she was too scared to say anything or because it was physically impossible.
She also had to wonder why the school had done nothing, rumors had circualted about the 'attack' for the entirety of the following week, but she was never called down to the office. Even the teachers knew about it, she'd been on the receiving end of many grateful smiles and every once and again, an upped grade. Kikyo made all the the teachers' lives living hells by threatening to have them fired if she was given anything less than an 'A-'.
Sango shook her had as her thoughts returned to the matter at hand. 'Something is going on with Kagome. I wonder what it is?'
Before Kagome's father arrived, Sango had seen bruises marring her newest friend's pale skin. In the few weeks that Sango had talked to her, she could see she was hiding something. It seemed Kagome was determined to keep it that way and so she never asked. After the greatly absent man had arrived, she withdrew herself more than ever. Whatever progress they had made as friends was thrown away and traded in for an ever present silence. But despite the fact that Kagome wanted to remove herself from their little group, they all cared about her. When she went to the hospital and her parents still hadn't visited her for a week, Sango was more than suspicious.
'What kind of parents ignore their child while she's in the hospital?'
"What's wrong?" Miroku had been watching Sango and could tell that she was deep in thought. Whatever she was thinking about was obviously angering her if the deep scowl on her face was any clue.
She heaved a sigh and turned back to their teacher after muttering, "Nothing."
---
"Nothing." Kagome blinked away the tears threatening to spill and turned away, keeping her gaze steady on the books in her locker.
"Nothing?" Inuyasha's voice was laced with anger and for a moment she was struck with fear. "Nothing made your face black and blue? Nothing has your lip swollen? Nothing?"
The world became a blur for Kagome as her tears finally fell. "Nothing," the weak confirmation came out in a low sob as she fell to her knees with her head in her hands.
Inuyasha dropped down to floor, pulling her into his arms as he did so, "What happened?"
Her body trembled as she fell into his embrace as she whispered, "Nothing."
"I'm having a hard time believing you," Inuyasha shook his head as he wrapped his arms around her tighter.
"That man... He isn't..." Kagome shook her head as her voice shook, deciding that it was a bad idea to continue as she leaned against Inuyasha's chest.
"What man? What happened?" Inuyasha looked down at the girl in his arms and felt his anger begin to build up. 'Did someone hurt her again? I'll fucking kill him.'
"No, no," Kagome tried to pull away from him and found it was futile, he had a vice grip on her. "Nothing happened."
Inuyasha let out a frustrated sigh and picked Kagome up as he stood. She stared at him with wide eyes as he started towards the school doors.
"Where are we going?" Her voice was barely a whisper while she glanced around to see if anyone had noticed the two of them making an escape.
"To talk."
Kagome's gaze fell on the hanyou once again and she saw his eyes were nearly devoid of emotion. His brows were furrowed and she could tell that he wasn't exactly happy.
---
"Where do you think you're going?" The voice sent a chill up her spine and she was once again reminded that this entire deal wasn't one of her best ideas.
"What does it look like?" She asked flippantly, she was afraid but she was going to try her damnedest to make sure he didn't know that. "I'm leaving."
"Oh, but Kikyo," the voice was directly in her ear and she could feel his breath on her neck. "We're not done yet."
Arms wrapped around her torso, bringing her back to the large bed in the dimly lit room. Her eyes widened but beyond that, her attitude was cool, "Yes, we are, Naraku. Get off of me."
He let out a low laugh that sent another chill through her, "I assure you," he placed a kiss on her neck as he laid her down on the bed, "We are not."

Kagome was silent as Inuyasha continued to drive, after they exited the school without being seen, Inuyasha took her to his car, told her to put on her seatbelt and then peeled out of the parking lot as soon as the key was turned in the ignition.
"Where are we going?"
He didn't spare her a glance as he continued to drive, "I already told you."
She turned away from him to look out the window and found she had no idea where they were going. They were passing a lot of trees and the road was deserted and dirt.
After what seemed like an enternity in the uncomfortable silence of the car, Inuyasha turned onto a paved road and Kagome was met with the sight of a colossal house. The building was big and looked old enough to be a castle in her eyes.
"This is my house." Inuyasha finally said as he pulled to a stop into what looked like a small parking lot. Instead of waiting for her reaction, he pushed his door open and slammed it shut, going around to open her door.
"You live here?"
"Yeah."
He grabbed her hand and started for the house, soon they were in front of the door and he was fumbling with his keys. He had just put it into the lock when it was yanked open.
"What are you doing here?"
Kagome's mouth dropped open as a man, much taller than Inuyasha, with long silver hair stared at Inuyasha with his eyes narrowed and a small sneer.
Inuyasha let out a low growl as he pushed past him with Kagome stil in tow, "Minding my fucking business, you should try it."
Kagome was suddenly pulled back and the sneer was directed to her, "Who is this ningen?"
The outrage displayed on Inuyasha's face had Kagome worried when he turned around, surprised that she was pulled out of his grasp.
"She's none of your damn concern, Sesshoumaru! Leave her the fuck alone."
He decided to ignore the hanyou and turned his attention back to the girl he'd brought with him, "What is your name?"
Kagome found his markings incredibly interesting in comparison to the cold golden eyes boring into her, "Kagome Hig-"
"What are you doing here?" His deep voice cut her off with another question.
Inuyasha's irritation grew as he watched his brother interrogate Kagome, he made a successful grab for her and pulled her into his chest. "Leave her the fuck alone and mind your business," he said to his brother again in a guttural voice. "I won't tell you again."
Sesshoumaru scoffed as he walked out the door, "This Sesshoumaru fears no one, especially not a hanyou."
Inuyasha rolled his eyes, still annoyed, and grabbed Kagome's hand once again to lead her through several hallways, all littered with centuries old vases and shining weapons. They reached a staircase and after climbing it, he took her down another hallway, this one had portraits of silver haired demons hanging on the walls. He opened a door and pulled her inside.
"Is this your room?" Kagome eyed the piles of clothes on the carpeted floor and the pictures and posters littering the walls in what seemed like a massive collage. The sunlight drifting in from the open windows lit up the large room only slightly, the dark red painted walls keep it dark, hardly reflecting the light.
"Yes," He dropped onto the bed, the only place to sit other than the laundry covered swivel chair in front of his computer desk.
Kagome walked around the mountains of clothes on his floor and sat on the opposite end of the bed, "Is Sesshoumaru your brother?"
"Yes," His amber eyes had followed her as she made her way over to the bed and they were still on her. "Now tell me what's wrong."

"Now are we done?" Kikyo asked Naraku from her spot under him. She would never give the impression that she enjoyed being his toy for two reasons. One was that admitting that she did would be one of the biggest lies she's ever told in her life.
Naraku grinned as if he had mistaken her bored tone as a cry for more, "For now."
She stood, pulling the sheet with her. She had to be give her body to him but that didn't mean she wanted him to ogle her with his currently red eyes.
The sheet was ripped out of her hands and she turned to see him staring openly at her breast.
"Don't cover yourself unless you're getting dressed, you are mine to touch and to see."
Kikyo fought the urge to slap him, that was never a part of their deal but she'd found long ago that he was one to twist everything to the utmost extent. She shouldn't have been surprised that he would force her to walk around naked before him, "Yes, Naraku."
"Kikyo, Kikyo," His deeped chuckle filled the room yet again as his hair began to shorten and his facial features began to change. His was morphing his appearance yet again and with it his voice took on the tone of one much older than him, "You know you need to practice calling me by my new name."
The submissive facade she had to put on around him was beginning to make her sick as she complied with his wishes, "Yes, Keishin."

AN: I was going to update last weekend but I went to Canada to visit my uncle and I wasn't going to sit on my relative's computer all day when I was supposed to be spending time with him. I hadn't seen him in six years so, you know, we had to catch up and hug and stuff
Juicy: rolls eyes
All jokes aside, I'm pretty sure this story is quite close to the end. I don't have anything written out which really isn't too smart considering that's usually why it takes me so long to update in the first place, but I have been updating a lot lately and I'm pretty sure I'll be keeping that up until this is done. I don't know if I'll be updating too much this summer because I'm moving to Georgia and I'll have a lot of crap to worry about or maybe some new experiences will inspire me. I don't know.
Inu-chan: You never know
But anyway, I hope you enjoyed this chapter and all the stuff that came out. La verdad is 'the truth' in Spanish, just in case you didn't know.
So gracias for reading and reviewing, I was happy when by the end of last week I had six reviews. I almost cried. Almost.
Review, por favor!
