He felt his pulse quicken at the sight of him. Felt his nails dig and most likey leave bruises on his palms. He didn't care, though. The man was worth being absolutly sick over.

James let out a low growl when she bumped into the Judge, and thought he was going to lunged through the door when he saw the monster grab her wrist pull and her to him, her struggling body being hled tihgtly by his own. His hands itched fro something sharp to slice through his fat neck as he followed his hands down his wife's body, stopping at her waist.

Before he ran up and punched him, James let out a small sigh of relief when Nellie wretched herself out of Turpin's grasp. The apothecary grew stiff for a moment as he caressed her face and whispered something hottly in her ear. She was standing beside him not a moment later.

"'Ello, loves," the baker chimed cheerfully when she came back in, sliding behind the counter and pretend to clean. "Was everythign ok?" Kagome asked, her pie long gone. Nellie nodded quickly, "Yeah, 'e just nicked 'imself while givin' Pirelli a quick shave." she replied, wipping a sweat drop from her forehead. From the humid heat outside or her encounter wiht the Judge, she didn't know.

At the mention of her master's name, the raven haired girl gasped surprisingly, "Oh, Thats right! Hes got an appointment! If hes late, He'll blame me!" she quickly moved out of the booth and ran toward the door, but James caught her arm gently as he caught his wife hiss, ''Old her!'

Nellie moved to kneel in front of Kagome, her dirty hands cradling the girl's even dirtier face. "Oh, don' worry abou' that, love," she cooed, stroking her hair slowly. Still, her face remained in a slight panic. "No, m'am, he always blames me for everything! And believe me, its usually more than a simple lashing!" her voice cried out as tears began to build up in her chocolate brown eyes.

She felt her heart twist a little at how the girl had been so cruelly treated for Lord knows how long. "'Es done an' gone now, love," technically, it wasn't a lie. "Leavin' you 'ere with us." she smiled warming.

Kagome looked at the baker a moment before slowly turning to face James. "Y-You...you wouldn't mind?" she squeaked, a frown on her face. Both ladies looked at him, eyes pleading, and that was when he knew it couldn't refuse. Not that he'd ever turn away such a pitiful child. He swallowed. "We would absolutley delighted to 'ave you as our...Daughter." he choked out, managing a smile. Both faces lit up instantly and Kagome ran to him, almost tackling him with her unknown strength in a tiight hug.

"Thank you." she whispered saddly as tears ran down her face.
