Disclaimer: NO I do not own Inuyasha. That awesome privilege belongs to Romiko Takahashi. Thank you!

Don't worry. I'm going to update 9 Months. It's just those chapters are long and hard. If I spend too much time on it I get bored and the quality goes down. So for your benefit, I'm going to update this. (I admit, I fell in love with this story ^.^)

Chapter 2: Hell Mates

"Hurry up!" The female guard, who Kagome thought looked quite like a man, said pushing a dirty bar of soap in her hands along with Hell's uniform. It looked surprisingly like her old one. The skirt was gray the shirt was white and long sleeved. It didn't have the sailor flap and bow on the front but it did have the letters H.I. in one corner in the same ugly gray. The stockings were gray and the shoes were black.

When she made it out colors were probably going to blind her.

Kagome was to take a shower and return the ugly bright orange jumpsuit so they could return it to the police.

The female guard, who Kagome had named Helga in her mind, pushed her into a large empty, completely tiled room. There were shower heads covered in lime scale hanging from the ceiling and drains on the floor. There were no windows and the florescent lights were dim in and dark.

The shower heads leaked creating a symphony of drips in the background as Kagome turned back to the guard who was leaning against the wall.

"You going to watch?" she asked knowing the answer.

"Got a problem?" Helga smirked.

Kagome's more innocent side, some thing she was amazed still survived, squealed and blushed. But the new, hardened Kagome put her stuff on a bench and began unbuttoning the jumpsuit while looking Helga in the eye.

She ripped it off her body and threw it at the guard who passed it through the metal bars to another guard.

Kagome ignored them and removed her underwear.

"Pull the cord to get the water." Helga instructed.

Kagome walked under a dangling shower head with a thin, dirty metal cord hanging parallel to it. It was beaded like a ceiling fan cord.

Kagome reached up and gave it a swift yanked. She cried out in surprise as the cold water slammed against her back.

Her cry echoed back to her in the empty room.

"Hurry up!" Helga repeated.

Kagome glared at her but ran the soap over her body. It had no real smell and was coarse, some thing she thought slippery soap couldn't be. There were cracks in it from all the times it was soaked and dried out again.

She was given no shampoo so she ran the bar of soap through her hair as well.

In the middle of rinsing it off, the water cut off.

"Get dressed." Helga smirked.

Her 'towel' was thin and raggedy and barely absorbed anything.

She put on her underwear, thankful to be re-clothed though she didn't show it, and tugged on her ugly uniform which was even more rough than the soap.

"Let's go." Helga tapped on the bars and they opened.

Kagome walked through and a man walked in front of her while Helga walked behind.

"Let's get this straight, girlie." The male guard, whom Kagome decided at that moment to name Dick, said. "Our very nice dormitories are co-ed. But don't think that means we allow any hanky-panky."

"Hanky-panky?" Kagome sneered. "Does any one still even say that?"

Helga hit her legs with her billy-club.

Kagome grunted but kept walking.

"Your room mate is a guy, but don't get any ideas. We don't like having kids here." Dick sneered.

"What would you do?" Kagome said unafraid of Helga's weapon. "Force an abortion on me?"

Dick stopped and turned. He smirked. "How do you think we keep the population down around here?"

Kagome couldn't breath.

Hitting was one thing. Killing some ones baby was some thing completely different.

Dick, whom Kagome upgraded to General Dick, laughed evilly and continued walking.

Kagome's hands clenched without her permission into fists and she spent the rest of her walk through the halls imagining all the ways she could cave his head in.

She was happy she paid attention in health class. It gave her a whole new range of ideas.

He walked her outside. A guard handed both him and Helga an umbrella but left Kagome to walk across the grassless area without a shield.

She glared through her bangs at the empty courtyard and did nothing to try and stop the rain from pouring down and soaking her through.

"You're a proud one, huh?" Helga asked and Kagome could hear the sneer in her voice. "They all come in like that. They never leave that way."

Helga laughed and Kagome smirked. "You'll see." Was all she said.

She wished she had something to back it up.

GD, General Dick, led her to a big building which looked like it was falling apart.

They saw no one as they walked down the drafty, all wooden halls. The doors were closed, the place completely quiet, except for the floorboards creaking under her feet.

"Rules." GD said and Helga laughed though Kagome seemed to have missed the joke. "1: Curfew is at ten, sharp. We can see any lights from the main building so don't even think of trying anything. 2: Well, you heard two already. No hanky-panky."

"Seriously, when was the last time you got some...hanky-panky?" Kagome laughed but recieved another whack for her fun.

She resisted the urge to rub her stinging thighs as SD went on as if she had said nothing.

"Rule 3: We get up at 7. Sharp." Kagome mimicked him silently. Helga only saw the back of her head and GD was facing forward so niether of them saw.

They stopped in the middle of a hall that was just as unimpressive as the last few. The only thing that varied was how much mold was growing, and weather the floor was flat or staircased. This was the third floor and this door was the only one without a crack that actually fit in it's frame without leaving a huge ring of light. Or in the cases Kagome had seen, dark.

"Here's your room." GD opened the door.

It was fairly unremarkable. The floor was soggy and there was a half empty bucket of water in the corner above a huge water stain even though there was still one more floor left. A drop of water would, every few seconds, fall into the bucket making a slight ding. There were two lumpy cotts, barely big enough for Kagome's small frame with thin, dark blue blankets and a only slightly thicker pillow. There was a single window that was so dirty the outside darkness was cloudy and fuzzy and a single, tiny, scratched up writing desk with a chair with a leg that had been broken off and re-tied on.

She had taken this all in very quickly when she got a slight surprise.

A young man dropped from the ceiling.

Well, his upper half did. Kagome looked up and saw his legs hooked on a thick black pipe. He was shoeless and shirtless and covered in a thin layer of sweat. His hair was the brightest thing she had seen so far. A glistening silver that had been braided. It would have traveled completely down his back if he wasn't hanging upside down, though it still brushed the floor. His eyes, which were even brighter than his hair, burned gold. She realized it was hate and that it was directed as GD and Helga. Being shirtless, Kagome got to see his rock hard chest which was glistening with the sweat that covered his body.

"Ah, Inuyasha. There you are." GD said looking at him in disgust.

Inuyasha ignored him and pulled himself up again. He was doing sit ups upside down, Kagome realized.

"This is your new room mate, Kagome. Kagome, this is Inuyasha." GD indicated to him. Inuyasha ignored him to do another sit up.

"Inuyasha." GD's voice got dark. "Say hello."

Inuyasha dropped again and glared at GD. "Hello." His voice was flat and uncaring.

He did another sit up.

GD growled and made fists with his hands. "I would watch out Kagome." He said to her though his eyes were fixed on Inuyasha, who continued his workout as though he wasn't there. "This one is here for assault with intent to kill."

Inuyasha dropped and growled as well, though his was considerably more impressive. "Watch out, or I may get charged with murder next.

GD took an involuntary step back word. "Let's go!" he said.

He and Helga left, GD stomping all the way.

Kagome, who didn't know whether to fear this guy or not, entered the room and shut the door.

"They leave?" he asked, his voice no longer devoid of emotion.

"Yeah." Kagome said watching him sit up again.

He dropped and smirked. "Cool."

He did another sit up, but this time he grabbed the pipe and swung his legs off and dropped to the ground in a smooth motion.

"So, what are you in for?" he asked stretching his arms above his head. His muscles rippled with the movement.

"Pot." Kagome said simply.

Inuyasha laughed and dropped on the left cot. "What? Selling it?" he asked.

Kagome, who took his action to mean that was his bed, sat on the opposite one.

"Smoking it. They say."

Inuyasha scoffed. "You don't look like a pot head. How many times did you get caught?"

"Once." she said her voice dropping in anger.

Inuyasha froze. "Once? You take one hit and they send you to Hell?"

Kagome nodded. "Why? What are you here for?"

Inuyasha smirked again and laid back on his pillow while placing his arms behind his head.

"Well..." he smirked. "Most people don't get sent here for just one charge. Assault with intent to kill was icing on my cake. That sent me here. I've also got regular assault, assault with a deadly weapon, assaulting a police officer, arson, and petty theft."

"A police officer?" Kagome asked laughing softly. It seemed, in Hell, Hell mates stuck together.

"Trying to arrest me for assault with a deadly weapon and arson." he laughed. "But just getting sent for one count of smoking pot?"

"The judge was an asshole." Kagome said.

"Aren't they all?" Inuyasha asked in a dreamy voice.

Kagome laughed but continued. "He said that since I was never caught that must have meant I had done it before."

"That's twisted logic." Inuyasha frowned.

"Made no sense to me." Kagome admited. "So he sent me here."

Inuyasha scoffed.

"Curfew! Lights out!" Kagome heard multiple shouts of that through the thin halls.

"Lay down." Inuyasha said jumping off his bed and turning off their tiny yellow light.

Kagome did as instructed and he went back to his bed.

A moment later the door opened and a head popped in.

The halls and room were dark so Kagome couldn't see their face. A moment later, they left again.

"What...?"

"Shh." Inuyasha said quietly.

They stayed quiet for a while longer as the guards made their way through the building.

It was hard to tell how long they stayed there but suddenly a voice cried, "ALL CLEAR!"

Inuyasha jumped up again and pulled a dark shade Kagome hadn't noticed down over the window.

"What's that?" she asked as he flipped on the light.

"They look for lights after curfew." Inuyasha explained. "But not in the building itself."

He opened the door as a stereo suddenly turned on.

"Let's go." Inuyasha smiled.

"Where?" she asked standing up as he put on a white wife beater.

"We're going to meet your Hell Mates." He smirked.
