Chapter 4
Song Lyrics:
I'm not a bad guy,
And I've never been a thief
I pay my taxes and I pretend to believe
A family that loves me yeah
And a habit that has saved my life
I'm sorry officer,
I'm not saying shit tonight
Oh I'm going to jail,
I won't make bail
Oh God I hate this town
Oh, they're coming to get me
I swear I'm not guilty
Setting me up, to bring me down
Oh god, I'm going to jail To It was just a burn ride,
We can run, but we can't hide
~Going to Jail Lyrics by Anarbor~~

I was led up to the line of inmates entering the bus by the guard that came and got me from the holding cell. There were two women in from of me and one man behind me. I kept my head down trying to avoid eye contact with all of them. I was not going to let people walk all over me in there but I was not going to start problems either. The man or should I say hanyō behind me nudged me from behind when the other women stated to walk. I slowly started to walk up the stairs into the bus and found a seat in the very back away from everybody else. I watched the hanyo man enter the bus. He had long silver hair that went down to the middle of his back. He had a tattoo with the name Shippo with swirls around it on his left shoulder. I assumed that was his kid's name that already was a turn off. Not that I was checking him out or anything. He had little doggy ears on top of his head that just made me want to rub my thighs together to get rid of the pressure that was building up down there. I just met this man and already he was doing things to my body that nobody else could. He looked up at me and gave me a smirk. That is when it registered that since he was hanyo he could probably smell it and a blush appeared across my face. I lowered my head back down to look at my hands in my lap. There really must have been a big neon sign that said, "Come sit by me" because that is exactly what he did and that made me blush. I hoped he would have sat up front or at least away from me, I really did not belong in jail or on this bus…damn whore. She really must want to die now and I have no problem with making that happen. I looked up when I heard the same guard talking all I heard her say was "the person sitting next to you is your new cellmate." They had to be insane this is not fair; I got up to move when the guard yelled at me to sit back down and stay where I was. I looked about the bus and saw it was full from other pick-ups. I sighed and sat back down I heard the hanyō snicker and I grumbled. Damn guard…damn Kikyo…dumb idiots of the court…I do not think my life is ever going to get better.
I snuck a glance back at the hanyo man sitting next to me to find him full out staring at me. "Im Inuyasha" he said while still smirking at me. I could not care less what his name was but I guess we needed to get to know each other now since we were to be sleeping together and all. Oh, my god sleeping together, NO Kagome stop thinking about that, he is in jail for a reason. For a crime that he actually committed. You cannot get yourself mixed up with those kinds of people. I gave a soft chuckle in my head because I was one of these people now. "My name is Kagome" I glanced at him again and I slowly removed one of my hands from my lap and held it out to him for a handshake. He hesitantly grabbed my hand and I instantly felt sparks shoot through my skin. I wonder if he felt it. He did not release my hand just moved it to him leg and held my hand there in his. It felt nice. We did not say much the rest of the ride to the jail. We only made one more stop to pick up one person to take the last remaining seat. Inuyasha never did release my hand through the whole ride to the jail. I was so tired I just drifted off to sleep sometime during the ride. I felt my head hit Inuyasha's shoulder and to my surprise, he did not move it.
I woke up about a half hour later to Inuyasha calling my name. "Kagome come on get up. We're in hell now." I groggily sat up and looked around at my surroundings. It was dark and cloudy outside. We were surrounded by 20-foot high fences on all four sides with barbed wire on the top of them. This place did not look inviting but it was to be my home for the next 6 years. After that, I could finally see Souta and my friends again. Six years was a long time to wait. As we got out of our seats and exited the bus, I realized that Inuyasha was still holding my hand. I surprisingly did not mind. It was all over to soon though because he dropped my hand when we got to the guard standing by bus door. I felt him lean his head into mine and take a deep breathe and whisper a few chilling words while the guard was distracted by something else. "I won't let anything happen to you beautiful". I shivered and walked off the bus followed by Inuyasha into one of the scariest places I have ever been with the assurance that nothing would happen to me. And strangely I believed that he would keep me safe.

I could not help myself I smelt her fear and had to do something to help settle her. I mean god she was my fucking mate I would not stand it when she was scared or unhappy and those were the two dominant feelings rolling off her body in waves. I leaned down and whispered in her ear the promise that I intended to keep even if it meant my life for hers. "I won't let anything happen to you beautiful." I saw her shiver and licked my lips because I had that effect on her. I was very pleased with myself that I could entice those feelings out of my mate. I wanted her but I would have to wait until I knew for sure how she felt about me.
All the new inmates were split into boys and girls and each taken separate directions. I was used to this but I would not be able to keep an eye on Kagome if we were separated. I did not have a choice I had to go with the rest of the group. I could smell Kagome's anxiety rising again and wished more than anything that I was there to comfort her. I had to get used to not being around her all the time. I stamped down the urge inside of me to run to her and protect her from everything. We were led into a room where we were strip-searched and given a white t-shirt and cotton pants to change into. After that, we were led to what looked like a laundry room where we were each issued a blanket and pillow. I was used to this. We met again with the girls after this and I looked over Kagome to make sure she did not have any damage done to her. She looked fine except for a slight blush on her cheeks that just made her look more innocent and beautiful. I assumed that blush was from the strip search and just gave her my signature smirk that seemed to annoy her.
We were led to our rooms or shall I say a closet with two beds and a toilet in the corner. We were told to make our beds and go to sleep for the night. It was already 10 o'clock and I was exhausted. All the events that happened earlier today played in my head not in color but black and white like an old movie. No sound just pictures that would not stop haunting me. I looked over to where Kagome lay in her bed staring up at the ceiling. We had not said much to each other since the bus. I softly whistled to get her attention. She blinked her eyes a couple of times and turned her head to look at me. "Good night Kagome" I said softly and gave her a genuine smile. She gave me a small smile back "Good night Inu." I saw her yawn and turn her back to me facing the wall and I heard her breath slow down while she drifted off into her dreamland. That night I went to sleep and dreamed of the future and how it could play out for Kagome and me.
A.N: I hope you all liked this chapter. It was a pleasure to write. It was a transition chapter so it probably wasn't all that exciting but the story is getting there. All reviews will be appreciated. Last but not least a big thanks again to my beta reader Divine-Drgon. You are amazing and I wouldn't have been able to do this without you.
*Bows down to your greatness*
