Disclaimer:

A.N. Anyways. For those of you that like Gravitation, I'll have a newer story up by the time this chapter is up and alive. The Gravitation story has more of my interest in it than the other one did, so I hope my muse doesn't vanish. As for updating this story, I write whenever I can and when I get new ideas for chapters. So if I get delayed such as a few weeks ago when I was gone for about month, I'll throw up a few chapters one right after the other to make up for the absence. Other then that, updates whenever I think of something. n-n In the mean time, happy reading!

Pwalefriend Chapter 11- Well I can't exactly kill her now can I? Because if I did that then the story would basically end. And then all I'd have would be the Gravitation fic I'm working on. And Ciao is Italian. Used to express greeting or farewell.

Pwalefriend Chapter 12- You'll see! n-n

Inuyashangel- Let's all hate him together. :O

Right then. Let's finds out who's at the door!

Another thing. The hits for the fic are weird for chapters 10 and 11. Chapter 11 has more hits. o.O That just seems rather odd that something like that would actually happen. But whatever.


"YOU!" Inuyasha shouted angrily upon seeing the man at the door. Angrily, Inuyasha balled his hand into a fist and swung, connecting with his jaw and sending the man staggering away. "It was you! You and those fucking bastards that work for Kagoyashi!"

The man looked at Inuyasha. "Yeah. It was me. I won't hide it. I hurt her, and I finally realize that I've such a fucking idiot doing the things I do. They don't know it yet, but I've quit. I know what you and you're brother are doing, and I hate the bastard too. I want to see that fucking asshole either behind bars or dead."

Inuyasha folded his arms and glared at him. "You even left your dagger behind," he muttered. "But what can you do?" he asked angrily.

"I can get her out. I know you'll never trust me. That doesn't matter. I just realize that I've been such an asshole. But when she spoke to me, I saw the fire in her eyes. The rage she held in check. She said I was cruel. And now I believe her. I never believed anyone else when they said that, but when she said it, it really got to me. I hate to admit it, but Kagome Higurashi is a formidable woman when she's pissed. I didn't speak with her much, but I realize that."

Inuyasha snorted. "It's nice to know that you think so highly of her from only a few words."

The man shrugged.

"Look Bankotsu. If you can get her back like you say you can, then I won't kill you just yet. I'll let you live for awhile. But only if you get her back. Otherwise you're dead."

Bankotsu nodded. "I'll do it Takahashi. I will. I won't live that life anymore." Bankotsu turned and headed back to his car, got in, and drove away.

Inuyasha glared after the retreating car and turned to go back inside. He sat down on the couch and buried his face in his hands. Looking up he sighed heavily.

"She'll never forgive me. She'll hate me forever now."

"Mrow!"

"What the-"

"Mrow!"

"Where is that coming from?" he said standing up.

"Mroooow!" the call seemed to be more urgent now.

"It's coming from outside..." He headed for the door and went outside. He looked up and saw Amiriya's kitten pacing back and forth on the roof. The kitten was meowing in distress. Apparently the cat couldn't remember how to get back down.

Inuyasha laughed at the thought. He headed off to the side of the house and came back with a ladder in tow. He set up against the house and climbed up. The kitten watched him from her spot the entire time. She'd stopped pacing and sat down. Inuyasha stopped on the top step and reached out to the kitten. She didn't resist as he lifted her in his arms. He climbed back down and looked at the kitten.

"I guess I'll be taking care of you for awhile."

The kitted mewed and nuzzled against him. Inuyasha sighed and took the cat inside.

Bankotsu muttered something to himself as he drove back to Kagoyashi Industries head quarters. He easily made it to the room he had left Kagome in. Knocking twice, he waited for a reply. Receiving none he entered the room. Kagome was on her side facing the wall opposite the door. He moved quietly to the bed and looked down at her.

Kagome sensed someone there and opened her eyes. She turned her head slightly and looked up at Bankotsu.

"What now?" she growled angrily at him.

Bankotsu looked at her. "Talking to you earlier made me realize something. Even though you barely said a word, something clicked in my mind. Which is why starting now, I'm changing my life. For the past three years I think, I've been doing this solely for my mother's sake. A few years ago she came down with some cancer or other, and the hospital bills ran very high. This job was the only one that paid well enough to pay those bills. But when she got better, I never quit. I don't know why, but I didn't. And I realize now it was stupid of me. No one really knew my reason behind joining in the first place, and they think it was because of the money, but it's not anymore. I've deprived my mother of my company for her for to long, and I won't let your daughter be away from you. Not like this. So here's what I'm going to do."

He proceeded to give the young woman a detailed plan of exactly what he was going to do, when he would do it, and how he would do. She responded with vigorous nods of her head when needed. And when he was done, she thanked him gratefully and hugged him. She knew he wasn't lying.

"Hey. Whatcha think Bankotsu's up to?" Jakotsu asked the others.

"Who cares," Muikotsu muttered back as he fiddled with something in his hands.

Jakotsu rolled his eyes and stood up. "I'm going to go find him," he said as he left the room. The others watched him go, shrugged, and went about their business.

Jakotsu found Bankotsu in his office apparently looking for something. He leaned against the door jam and watched him.

"Whatcha doing?" he asked Bankotsu.

Bankotsu didn't look up as he continued his search. "Looking for something." he replied tersely.

"What are you looking for?"

"None of your business Jakotsu. Go away."

"No. Tell me what you're looking for. Maybe I can help."

"I don't want your help." Bankotsu turned around and started going through the files in the drawers behind him. He held a few documents under his arm as he searched for more.

Behind him, Jakotsu approached the desk and looked at the documents on his desk. Wondering what they were, he looked through them and lifted an eyebrow. He didn't know that the ones on the desk weren't important to Bankotsu. Those were just there to distract him.

Finding all he needed, Bankotsu rose and held several files in one hand. He turned and looked at Jakotsu.

"Out," he said moving around the desk. "I'm leaving."

Grumbling, Jakotsu left, Bankotsu following and locking the door behind him. Bankotsu waited for Jakotsu to be out of site before he made his way to the room Kagome was in. When he opened the door, he found her leaning against the wall, her body trembling as she struggled to hold herself up.

"Idiot," Bankotsu muttered. He walked towards her and forced her gently back to the bed. "I'll be back around midnight to get you."

Kagome looked at him and nodded.

"Get some sleep." Bankotsu turned and left the room, closing the door and locking it behind him as he went. Files in hand, he had someone to see.


A.N. Dunnnn Dunnnn Dunnnn! I wonder who he's going to see. I guess you'll just have to wait until the next chapter to find out. And what's this plan of his?
Anyways. Review please and keep me breathing!

Ciao,
