Claimer: -puts on a wig and learns a Japanese accent- I do own Inu-Yasha!

Rumiko: -ahem and threatens to stop the whole Inu-Yasha thing-

Disclaimer: Oh dear god, no please! OK OK I don't own Inu-Yasha! Not one piece of it (except for my own characters)

The next remaining chapters do take place two years after the King had died, OK(so that means that Kag's 20 years old)? And Inu-Yasha will come either somewhere in the middle of this chapter or at the end of it

Rated m for violence, lemons, and Inu-Yasha's foul mouth -.-

Two years later...

It had been two years after that awful day when King Higarashi left this world to join the afterlife. Ever since then, Miroku, Sango, and Souta had been ever so desprately searching for Kagome. But they had no luck. The three never had seen or heard from her for two whole years. They never gave up though. Kagome had gone on to being Koga's slave. She had been scared -terrified, actually- of what he would do to her. By now though, the cat hanyou had gotten used to it. She always had to go into that same room everyday and be his sex slave for five hours. Then she'd be thrown into a cage like a wild animal, having nothing to eat but scraps. It was an agonizing life, and she hated her father so much for making her do this. Kagome had never spoken again in those last two years. Never a word had came out of her mouth.

The girl sat in her cage, leaning her head against the cold, metal bars. Every night she had dreamed that some brave man would find her and return her to her friends and family, where her father could give her an explanation. The cat hanyou's ears perked up when she heard someone's voice. Kagome looked to see Koga watching TV. He was flicking the channels until it came to the news. Something caught Kagome's eye on it. There was a woman talking to someone who looked ever so familiar...

It was her brother.

"So, you are still searching for you're sister?" the reporter asked, shoving the microphone into Souta's face.

"Yes," he replied. "It was my dying father's last wish anyways. My friends and I are going to search for her to the ends of the Earth." When he said that, Sango and Miroku appeared beside him.

Kagome's mouth hung low. 'Father...is dead?' She leaned back in the cage. 'He died...and I never knew.' The cat hanyou felt the hatred for her father melt away. Another one of her family members have left this world. Kagome's eyes swelled up with tears.

Koga frowned at the TV. "So, that old man finally croaked, eh? Such a shame."

Kagome looked at him in confusion. He was sad that her father had died? Why would he be sad? What connection did Koga and her father used to have? Questions that she feared would now never be answered rumbled through her mind. Kagome looked away from the wolf youkai and back to the metal bars that were her prison. Maybe Souta finally knew. Maybe, just maybe, if Kagome could have a stroke of good luck, he would find her and explain it to her, and no more hatred would be. Even though, Kagome never had good luck. She lost too many family members, there was only one left. Who knows what if he were to die too?

The cat hanyou shook her head. 'I really got to stop thinking like that. As my father had always said...think positive and you'll be fine. But, by now, I don't really know if that's true.' While thinking that, she gazed up at Koga. The wolf youkai may have kept her as his slave, but he wasn't that mean and rough as he had been on the first day. Kagome had always thought that something bad had happened to him, and that's why he turned out to be like this. Maybe some of his closest family members had perished as well.

"Kagome," Koga barked, breaking the girl out her concentration. She looked at him. "I'm going to sleep now. Which means you have to go to sleep too." He turned off the TV and got up from his chair, walking over towards Kagome. The wolf youkai gestured for Kagome to come near him. She obeyed and crawled over to where he was. Koga leaned in and kissed her on the lips. He pulled away and got up, smirking. "Good night babe." With that he walked away. Kagome crawled back into her corner. The corner seemed like the safest place in the world to her now. Suddenly she let out a great yawn. Kagome rubbed her eyes sleepily as they started to get rather droopy. She soon fell fast asleep, dreaming of the brave man that would save her.

---

Kagome's eyes snapped open when she heard shouting along with crashing noises coming from Koga's room. The girl huddled back into her corner fearfully, not wanting to know what was in Koga's room. She heard a door open and then slam shut. It was opened again, but this time it sounded like it was ripped off it's hinges. Kagome blinked as she saw Koga run towards her with his key in his hand. Koga unlocked the cage and helped Kagome out.

"Hide somewhere!" Koga cried in a hushed tone. "There's a murderer loose in here now. Hide! I'll take care of him."

Kagome nodded, a bit confused. She ran away from Koga and into deserted room. Kagome shut the door and held herself against it just incase if anything tried to open it. More shouting was heard from outside.

"Where is she?!"

"You're not taking her away from me!"

"Tell me where she is!"

"No!"

One of the voices was Koga's, but the other's was un-familiar. It was a rather loud voice which was shaking with fury. Kagome winced as she heard another crash. This time though, she heard Koga shout in pain. The cat hanyou closed her eyes, trying to calm her breathing down. It didn't work though. She heard footsteps coming from outside the door. Kagome jumped backwards before the door suddenly got ripped off the hinges. She couldn't really make out what the person who was standing at the doorway looked like. He was wearing a mask over his mouth and his head. The only visible thing she could see was angry, golden orbs. Kagome could feel them burning holes in her head.

"Are you Kagome Higarashi, daughter of King Higarashi?" he demanded. Kagome still couldn't find it in herself to talk, so she merely nodded.

"Come with me then," the man said, walking towards her. The cat hanyou hissed and backed up to the end of the room. The man sighed.

"Look, I'm saving you. I'm saving you from this man. Either come with me, or I'll force you too," he said impatiently.

Kagome hissed again, flattening her ears against her head. She didn't know if she could believe him. Frankly, right now, she didn't know who to believe.

Under the mask, the man frowned. 'What's wrong with her? Why isn't she talking to me? She looks so lost...' "You have to believe me. Come on."

The cat hanyou looked behind the man. Koga was lying on the floor, unconscious. A little stream of blood was running down from his forehead. Kagome looked at the man in front of her. He was rather scary, so she didn't exactly know what to so. Even though...she had always dreamed of this. Of a man coming to save her from Koga.

"Come on Kagome! Don't you want to go back to you're family?" the man asked, looking at Koga to make sure he wouldn't awake any time soon.

Kagome looked down at the floor. She did want to go back more than anything. But what if this man wasn't her knight in shining armor? What if he was just another sex driven man? Kagome shook the questions out of her head. She looked down at Koga, the man who had everyday nearly raped her, and to the guy, the man who says he wants to save her. The girl started to walk towards him. Once she was beside him, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her outside the building that she had called home for the past two years. Kagome squinted her eyes in the broad daylight, watching as police officers suddenly swarmed inside the building. The man looked down at Kagome.

"You're probably wondering by now what my name is, huh? It's Inu-Yasha Tashiou." He pulled off the masks. Inu-Yasha had sharp-looking fangs just like Koga's, long and silky silver hair, and adorable puppy dog ears to top it all of. "I'm a dog hanyou." Kagome looked up at him, nodded, and looked back down at the ground. Inu-Yasha sighed but continued on. "I'm going to take you to my house. It's not to far from here. You're going to stay there until we can find the location of your brother. Once we do that, you can go back home." Kagome nodded again. She had heard his name from somewhere. Oh yes. He was that famous, rich police officer. All the girls would always fall for him. Kagome sighed quietly as she got into the back seat of Inu-Yasha's car. They drove off without a word.

"So, Kagome..." Inu-Yasha started, but stopped.

"What will happen to him?" Kagome asked in the quietest voice ever; but Inu-Yasha's ears picked it up. The cat hanyou was amazed that her vocal cords could still work.

"Huh? What will happen to who?"

"Koga."

"Oh yeah, him. He's going to jail for about 25 years. Maybe I'll even send him to the loony bin," Inu-Yasha replied, his voice sounding angry. "It just makes me so sick. Hearing that he had raped you and then kept you for two years."

"Actually," Kagome said, still very quietly. "He had raped me everyday."

Inu-Yasha went silent and cursed something under his breath. He was so angry he almost collided into someone. The whole drive was spent in silence. Soon Inu-Yasha pulled into an enormous driveway, which let to an enormous mansion. When they got out of the vehicle, Kagome's jaw dropped to the ground. It dropped lower (is possible) when they walked inside.

"What's up with you?" Inu-Yasha asked, raising an eyebrow. He pulled off his shoes and put them on the mat, along with Kagome's. "I thought you also lived in a mansion, right?"

"Yes," Kagome replied, looking around with wide eyes. "But I had forgotten how big it was."

While she made herself get dizzy by staring up at the tall ceiling, two men and a woman came down the spiral stairs. Kagome figured that the woman and one of the men was Inu-Yasha's parents, while the other man might be his brother. She was right.

"Hello," the woman greeted softly, shaking Kagome's hand. The woman had beautiful long, black hair and rosy cheeks. "My name is Izayoi. This is my husband, Inu-Tashiou, and my other son, Sesshomaru." Inu-Tashiou had long silver hair that was pulled up into a ponytail. He had golden orbs like Inu-Yasha's and blue stripes on his cheeks. He shook Kagome's hand. Sesshomaru's hair was just as long and silky-looking as the others. His eyes were like the others as well, except that they looked much colder. He had pinkish stripes on his cheeks and a crescent moon on his forehead. He shook Kagome's hand.

Kagome smiled. "Pleasure to meet you all."

Izayoi returned her smile. "Pleasure to meet you too. If you need anything, just ask any of us, especially Inu-Yasha."

"I'll be sure too," Kagome said. She went off with Sesshomaru, who was going to give her a tour of the mansion. When they were gone, Inu-Yasha's parents stared at him fiercely.

"Don't let anything bad happen to that girl," Izayoi stated in an angry voice.

"We don't want a repeat of what happened last time," Inu-Tashiou said.

"I said I'm sorry about what happened last time!" Inu-Yasha cried in protest. "It was mating season, I couldn't help myself!"

Izayoi furrowed her brow. "Well that's not a good enough excuse. We don't want another girl to get hurt. Especially Kagome. I am sure that she was hurt enough already. With the whole getting raped thing, and most of her family members dying."

"If you get the sudden urges Inu-Yasha, just ignore them," his father demanded. "Think about something else. You will be in big trouble if you do it again."

Inu-Yasha's head hung low in pity. "Yes father, sorry father."

"You do understand where we're getting at, right?" Izayoi asked.

"Yes mother."

"Good." With that, Inu-Yasha's parents walked back upstairs. Inu-Yasha looked over at Kagome and smirked.

'Keh. Why would the same thing happen to her anyway? I don't feel a thing around here,' he thought smugly.

The dog hanyou watched as Kagome tripped over something that was on the floor, only to fall into Sesshomaru's arms. The cat hanyou blushed and apologized. Sesshomaru laughed a bit, his mouth twisting into a small smile. Inu-Yasha could feel a growl coming onto his throat.

'Damn!' he thought angrily, looking away from the scene. 'I can't let it happen again! And like mother said…it especially can't happen to Kagome.'

While thinking that, he walked into the living room towards Kagome and Sesshomaru.

OOOOOOO!!!! What was that whole conversation about? What's wrong with Inu-Yasha? What terrible thing had happened in the past… Kagome is about to discover that there's a horrible secret that connects her savior and her sister from the past. Find out what happens in the next chapter!
