Disclaimer: Nope sorry. Still don't own them.

A.N. Illuma is confused! The hits on the Stats page got reset. o.O Is this like... normal or something? Cuz now I have no idea how many times it's been read. I like looking at that. Bah. Ah well. Anyways. Sorry for the delay everyone. I had like...major writer's block for this story. Plus I was coming up with a few new Gravitation fics I plan on writing. n-n I got rid of the other story I'd done. It died on me. xD Anyways. Hopefully I can get a few chapters out soon for you all to enjoy and read. Possibly during my entire week off for Thanksgiving I can get a few more done. Just to keep you all happy. Anyways... time for reviews!

G Princess- Or maybe she's not. :o I work in mysterious ways. You never know what I'll do next. n-n

Neko Kagome- Like I said before. Maybe not. :o

Inuyashangel- Actually the bad thing is something entirely different. It has nothing to do with this. And it happened a long time before Kagome met Hojo and stuff. Inuyasha is a such a BAD little boy. xD Oh and... ADMIT IT! I KNOW YOU WANT TO! LURV HER!

InuYashasluvr16- Maybe she is, maybe she isn't. Who knows? Oh! I do! But you'll all have to wait awhile for the results to come back to Kayou and Sesshomaru-sama. n-n It may be awhile.

---Late review Lore-sama- Hobo. I love it. xD Hobo has connections and stuff like that. He's a very powerful genius coughidiotcough. Ugh. Sorry. I'm, allergic to Hobos. xD But yeah. He has his ways. You'll just have to wait and find out till I reveal it all. n-n


Kagome tossed and turned in her sleep. She was having a nightmare again. An entirely new one. It plagued her mind. It tormented her mercilessly. "No," she whimpered. "Oh God! Please no! Please! Don't do it!" She continued to toss and turn. The sheets and covers twisting around her body. As she tried to escape, it became even tighter on her. "NOOO!" she screamed. "PLEASE STOP!" her cries echoed throughout the room. Bouncing off the walls as her cries became louder. She didn't hear the door as it slammed open and three figures entered the room. They tried holding her down, but she was in to much pain and continued to writhe.

"No," she sobbed. "You can't do this to me! To her! Please stop this! I beg of you!" she cried out. The people were trying to hold her down, but whenever they got close, they had to back off and get away from her flailing limbs. She was breathing heavily, her head was pounding, but still she writhed. Trying to end this tormenting nightmare that haunted her.

"You never even loved me, Hojo!" Kagome cried out to her husband. "All you wanted was the children I could give you! The girls! I was just like some dog to you! A dog you could keep breeding until she was of no further use to you! How could you betray me! I loved you! I really did!"

Hojo approached Kagome. He lifted his hand and in a swift motion brought it hard across the side of her face, leaving a red mark on her pale skin. "How dare you you little bitch. I gave you everything! I gave you everything you ever needed or wanted! But now, you turn on me?" he said angrily. "I gave you a life! Without me you'd be nothing you whore! All I asked of you was a simple thing! Provide me with a few girls and you could keep the rest! This is my life's work! On our wedding day you swore that no matter what you would always support me! You lied to me!"

"Not this Hojo! I could never let you harm innocent lives! Especially those of young women! You misunderstood my vows Hojo. I did not promise to support you everything you did. I promise to support in things that would do GOOD for the people. Not for you and few associates."

"This is for the good of the people. Why should men have to go find women, when they can come to one place? You know nothing about men, my dearest Kagome. We aren't like you thought us to be. Men don't like staying with one woman. They want variety! Have you ever wondered why men cheat on their wives? They grow sick of them! Having the same woman night after night, is like eating shit! We don't want only one woman. We want more. We want what our wives cannot give us. We want what other women have. Wives they show no fear, they love their husbands and obey them. That's why they cheat. They want someone they have never had."

"You're a fool, Hojo Yokoshimanakokoro. You're a bloody fucking fool! It is you who don't understand. It's not that men want something different. It's not that they grow tired of their wives. Men are just cruel sadistic bastards. Everything they do they do for themselves. When they hurt women, they see it like hurting an animal. Men treat us women like we are little play things. They throw us away when we think for ourselves! They yell at us and the beat us when we go against their wishes.

"Well I have some news for you Hojo! Women have brains. We have minds. We think for ourselves now! You do not realize it because you are so pigheaded, but we are human beings just like you! We have emotions. We feel pain! You will never succeed Hojo. This plan of yours will never work. And I will make sure you fall hard! Like they say, 'the bigger they are, the harder they fall.' You will never see the light of day again when I am through with you!"

A few days later...

"No! You can't do this! She's innocent! She's only a child leave her be!" she cried. "No," she whimpered. "Oh God! Please no! Please! Don't do it!" she cried. "NOOO! PLEASE STOP!" her voice cried out, echoing off the walls as she screamed. "No," she sobbed. "You can't do this to me! To her! Please stop this! I beg of you!" she cried out.

Kagome's please went unheard as her daughter was taken from her. The child screamed at the top of her lungs as she was thrown about. She kicked, scratched and bit as she tried to get back to her mother.

"Give me back my child! Give me back my daughter. You can not take her from me!" Kagome screamed as she tried to get to her screaming daughter. Rough hands held her back and threw her hard onto the bed in the room. "No!' she cried. "Don't do this to me! Let me go!"

Kagome could feel her clothes being torn from her body as she tried to escape their grasp. She couldn't believe this was happening to her. They were going to rape her. She knew then. Hojo, the bastard had paid them to do this to her. He was getting his revenge on her. He had paid them to have their way with her. Tears streamed from her eyes as she struggled "Please," she sobbed, "let me go. I beg of you. Don't do this to me."

"Kagome come on. Wake up. Please wake up," Inuyasha said as he struggled to hold the young woman down.

His brother and sister-in-law were helping, but her efforts were in vain. Kagome kicked at Sesshomaru and the elder brother jumped back away from her. Her legs came up and kicked out at Kayou who sprang back as well hand and legs free, Kagome went next for Inuyasha. They all turned their heads and looked at the door as loud knocking came through.

"Who-" Inuyasha started but stopped when Kayou opened the door.

Amiriya bolted into the room and jumped onto the bed. Moving nimbly and avoiding her mother's flailing limbs, she wrapped her arms around her neck and started whispering in Kagome's ear. Words the others couldn't hear, but Kagome obviously could. Slowly, very slowly, she stopped moving, her arms falling by her sides and her legs bent at angles. Tears were streaming down the side of her face. Amiriya lifted her head and looked at Inuyasha. Sesshomaru and Kayou got the hint and left. Inuyasha sat down. As the bed sank a little, Kagome sat bolt upright and threw herself into Inuyasha's arms, sobbing.

This action took Inuyasha completely off guard. Getting over the shock, he slowly wrapped his arms around her and held her to him in a gentle embrace. He lifted his hand and gently stroked her hair as Kagome sobbed into his shoulder.

"It's alright," he said softly. "Your daughter is here. She's safe. It'll be ok Kagome. I promise it will."

Kagome nodded her head when she heard it. She had to believe him. She knew it would all be alright. Nothing like that would ever happen to her again. She knew Inuyasha wouldn't betray her. She believed in him with all her heart. She would never say she loved him, but she could trust him. Slowly, her breathing slowed and became even as she slowly fell back into a dreamless sleep. Inuyasha moved slowly onto the bed and leaned back against the headboard with Kagome in his arms. Amiriya lay down next to them and soon fell asleep. She knew Inuyasha would keep her mother safe. She believed in him as well. Inuyahsa moved one hand around the sleeping child and brought her closer to them.

Oh how he loved them both. He just wished he could tell Kagome how he really felt about her. He wished he could tell her all he had done. All they had been through together as childhood friends. He loved her so much, but he didn't believe in himself enough to even tell her.


Yes! New chapter done! Read it, loved it, had to review it right? Yes I finished writing this at about 12:30 am. So what. I know you loved it. You had to. Especially with the argument about men. Honestly I don't know if that's true or anything, most likely not, but then hey. This is my story after all, so it must be true. xD Anyways. Please review. Bah. There's an error or two in there somewhere, but I'm to lazy to find them. XD

Ciao,
Illuma
