Disclaimer: Still no.

"No." Connie whispered ans the man slowly walked down the stairs and loomed over Kagome and her companion who trembled beside her.

No, please!" Connie begged him.

"Please! Leave her alone!" Kagome cried as she strained aganst the laughing men that restrained her from going to her Yume. :"Mama!" Yume screamed an one of the men plunged into her.

Kagome shook her head, she had to stay focused on now she turned to focus on their 'host' as he bent at the waist and looked her in the eye, his experssion stoic.

"Please.." Connie continued. "I'll do any thing."

His expression grew stormy and Kagome and Connie both knew that was the wrong thing to say. With a jerk he pulled Connie free as she screamed, Kagome struggled, it was happening again. someone else was going to die in front of her.

"Stop this instant!" Kagome ordered him but he ignored her

Kagome immediately turned her attention to her bindings and tried to chew through them. Behind her, Connie screamed and struggled as she was slammed down on something with a loud thud. Kagome pulled at her restraints with her teeth as she heard leather being pulled tight and Connie's whimpers but Kagome stayed focused. It wasn't until she heard the power drill start up that she was distracted. She jerked towards the sound and was horrified to see the man slowly lower the drill towards Connie's head which was now secured in a vice, the woman strained against the leather straps that held her to the table.

"No. No!" She screamed and for a moment Kagome saw her daughter.

Kagome swallowed the lump in her throat as the drill penetrated into Connie's eye and the girl let out a scream before going into silent convulsions and the drill burrowed into her brain, soon enough the sound of the drill changed when it reached the skull and went through. Satisfied the man pulled the drill up, it made a wet squelching sound as it left her eye socket, Kagome could see the grey matter on the bit glinting dully in the light.

For a moment Kagome saw a battlefield.

Connie's convulsions and the man absently cleaned the drill with a dirty rag that looked like it was once a woman's shirt. Then, he began the process again, Connied spasmed and then she heard a gasp and sigh. Kagome watched as her soul was collected by tiny oni and prayed that it found rest in the after life. She closed her eyes and did her best to ignore Connie being strung up by her hands and the man's heavy foot steps as he went upstairs, she didn't open them again until he closed the trap door and stomped away.

Her daughter lay limp, naked and bleeding on the once green grass her once vivid golden eyes wide open and clouded in death. Done with her the men switch their attention to the distraught mother who had gone limp in the arms of her attackers, overwhelmed by her daughters pain-filled, terrified screams.

Laughter drug Kagome from her thoughts as the surviving captive made his presence known. Kagome looked over at him and immediately noted the crazed look in his eye.

"Who are you?" She asked him once his hysterical laughter died down.

"Shoulder! Your shoulder!" He cried.

'Well it was worth a try.' She thought as she tried to relieve the pressure on the previously mentioned joint and was reminded of the glass imbedded there. She sighed then groaned as her stomach churned, 'sadly' she noted in he mind. 'not because of miss Connie.' Gore had ceased to bother her a long time ago, no this was because of the baby she carried, the one she'd forgot about. Looking down at the little pooch where she showed it felt like InuYasha's hands rested there as they used to with Yume. Startled and comforted Kagome was reminded of what she had to do.

She gripped the glass with her teeth and proceeded with the tedious task of working it loose. After a few minutes she succeeded in pulling out a length just long enough for her to use. She listened for a few moments, hearing the door slam above her then the footsteps again as they walked towards the cellar door. She held her breath as she hid the bloody glass in her mouth when he stopped next to the trapdoor that led to the basement. He then continued on.

Kagome sighed with relief then carefully bought the shard carefully out of the mouth and slid it into her hand. Kagome began to work the rope, sawing it and doing her best to keep her hold on the slippery object. Eventually the rope gave way and she carefully got to her feet. She rubbed her wrists gingerly as she turned her attention to him.

She walked up to him slowly until she was in front of him. "Don't worry." She whispered. "I'm gunna get you you too."

The man's eyes widened and then he startled Kagome by letting out a shriek.

"Hey!" He shouted. "Get down here! She's loose!"

Kagome backed away stunned at his reaction then as she heard their host stomping quickly towards the trap door she ran back to her spot and carefully wrapped the rope around her hands and slid the glass into her bra. Above her the trap door slammed open and the man ran down and came to a stop before Kagome, he looked down at her with an angry glare, flare nostrils and clenched fists. Seeing her kneeling before him her turned angrily towards the man whom realized the murderers attention was on him and he began to studder as the man approached.

Kagome watch as the killer raised his fist and struck the man who cried out in pain, still trying to explain what he saw and grovelling. The killer began to beat him in earnest not noticing as Kagome loosed herself from her bonds and snuck up the stairs.

"Behind you! She's on the steps!" The man shouted as the murderer rised his fist again.

She heard the shout and she looked behind her and made eye contact with the killer. His eyes widened in realization and Kagome took off up the stairs slamming the trap door behind her and sat on it. She was nearly thrown off of if when the man threw himself against it. Desperately Kagome looked around for something to defend herself with. Before she could the pounding stopped. Kagome waited.

Nothing.

Then a shadow in the doorway.

Kagome looked up and into the feral eyes of her assailant as he glared at her from across the room. She ran her hand along her abdomen then slowly got to her feet and smirked at the man in he same way InuYasha had so many times. Her arms hung loosely at her side and she stood with her feet shoulder width apart just as she was taught. She knew he had the home-field advantage but she also knew what would happen if she lost so she waited for him to make the first move. She also knew people did stupid things when they where angery.

He stared at her unsure at first then he stalked towards her. Kagome just watched and arrogantly flipped her hair. He was halfway to her when she broke the silence.

"Oh Please." She goaded. "We both know you can't handle a woman who isn't tied up." She snorted. "Neither could Hojo, that's why he's dead. He was weak and so are you and I killed him."

He roared his rage when her heard her confession and broke into a run. Kagome braced herself as they nearly collided. At the last moment she spun to the side of him and as he was off balanced her shoved him. He went stumbling into his rough hewn table shattering it with his weight. He bounced back up and Kagome faked a yawn. He charged her again but this time anticipated her dodge and weaved his way behind her wrapping his forearm around her throat, choking her.

Kagome stepped a little to the side and used the foot closest to him to knock him off balance. The lowering her shoulder and grabbing his arm she flipped him over her back. He landed with a heavy thud but rolled to his feet before Kagome could finish him. As he got up he pulled about a large bowie knife he had in his boot. Kagome grit her teeth but stayed focused. She reminded her self that even big people have the same weaknesses she just had to avoid the knife.

He slashed at her, the tip if the blade cut along her stomach as she dodged. Due to her injuries from the past couple days she was slower then usual. Kagome hissed and the man grinned and pressed his attack. Kagome felt wired as the adreneline coursed through her but she knew after all that's happened she wouldn't last long.

She dodged she stepped forwards avoiding the knife and grabbed his arm and pulled forwards as she used his forward momentum as they fell to toss him again. She wasn't anticipating the window however and was startled by the breaking glass. She rolled to her feet to fond him half ways out the window.

Kagome ran forwards, picked up the knife he dropped along the was and jumped onto his back. She wrapped her legs around him as she did Hojo and buried his knife in his throat then pulled it outward causing blood to spray the walls and drip to the floor painting them crimson. She climbed off him, and watch as he spasmed, the sound of his rasping breath filled her ears as hy drowned on his life's blood, Soon the spasms stopped, the blood slowed, and the breathing ceased.

Kagome sat on the other side of the room, the knife lodged in the wooden floorboards nearby. She was coming off the high and her whole body felt weak. She tried to ignore the feeling as stared at her captors now cooling body distracted herself by going over her options. She'd killed two men, got captured, saw a murder, was visited by a ghost. Kagome sighed and ran a bloody hand through her hair, she didn't want to go to prision

She then got to her feet and went outside, there she found her car. She popped the trunk and grimaced at the smell of her ex's decomposing body. She then steeled herself and pulled his body out of her trunk. She then drug it into the house and opened the trap door then shoved his corpse through it. She ignored the only other person left alive as she chained Hojo to her former post then turned to her observer.

" I could let you go now." She stated. "But you tried to kill me too." She then turned on her heel and stumbled up the steps leaving him alone.

A/n Not sure about this ending. Maybe a sequal? 1st story I've completed. Will
