Chapter three

Kira blinked confused at her Father, who had abruptly slammed into the floor. "I almost forgot how much that hurt." I mumbled, peeling his face from the rug. Kagome surprised Inuyasha and Kira when she slapped hats on their heads out of the blue. "My Mom's Boyfriend is here!" she said rushing Inuyasha to her room. "Your Mother has a boyfriend?" Inuyasha asked raising and eye brow.

"Yeah, he's a jerk." Inuyasha could smell her fear. 'Why would she be afraid of this guy?' Kira interrupted his thoughts by running in and burying her face into his shoulder. She smelled afraid to. "Why are you afraid?" Inuyasha asked his daughter softly. She raised her head and whipped away the tears on her cheeks. "He hurts Grandma." She let out a whimper.

"He what?!" Inuyasha snapped. He heard the front door open, and Ms. Higurashi enter the home. He listened closely, and he realized he didn't have to since the man was yelling. "Where have you been?!" He screamed. "I was just a little late leaving work-" She was interrupted by an audible slap. Inuyasha quickly removed his daughter from his lap and went down stairs.

"You think I wanna do this!?" He yelled while he had her pinned to the sofa. "I think you do." Inuyasha said standing in the door. "get outa here this doesn't concern you." He said with one hand on her throat. "Release her." Inuyasha growled. "Or else what!?" He dared. "I'll kill you." Kagome could tell he wasn't bluffing. The man smirked and tightened his grip.

Inuyasha snapped and jumped across the room, lifting the man off the ground by his throat. His feet kicked wildly as he tried to touch the ground. "You listen to me, you disgusting little insect. You're going to leave, and if you ever come back, or even talk to my Mother again. I'll kill you." Inuyasha's eye's were red. But the man couldn't see him since he was starring at the ceiling.

'His Mother? Does he really think so highly of me?' Ms. Higurashi thought to herself. She was surprised by his intervention, but she was also glad. Inuyash's eye's lightened as he released the man who wasted no time running out the door and speeding off. "Are you alright?" Inuyasha asked looking over at Kagome and her Mother. She smiled and gave him a nod.

"Thank you Inuyasha." She smiled rubbing her throat. Kagome was surprised at how strongly he reacted to seeing her in danger. 'I knew he liked my Mom but not to that extent.' Kagome could feel herself smile. "How bout I make you too some lunch?" Ms. Higurashi stood, and went to the kitchen. Kagome tackled Inuyasha in a hug. "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" She said in between kissing him.

Inuyasha laughed at how over joyed she was that he had gotten rid of her Mom's abusive boyfriend.

Sesshomaru opened his eye's, and was greeted by the unpleasant sight of all three of his sisters. He hated all of them, just as much if not more than Inuyasha. "How nice to see you." Annika said with an artificial smile. Sesshomaru didn't respond to her. "We need your help." He youngest sister said. "With what, Asuka?" He asked, exchanging glares with Annika.

"Taking the Tetsiaga from the half-breed." Kasuga interupted. "I will not help you steal the Tetsaiga from Inuyasha, and if I'm not mistaken, Asuka, you saved the half-breed from certain death a number of times." Asuka didn't hate Inuyasha, she actually liked him more that her other siblings

She could feel the others glaring at her. She was hated by her sisters, although she was a full-demon, she wasn't a full dog demon. She took a deep breathe before explaining. "It would be dishonnorable to allow my younger brother to die at the hands of a petty demon or any human." She knew she was lying.

She was the smallest, and the weakest of her siblings, and had none of the facial markings. "We will steel the Tetsiaga with or without your assistance." Annika announced. "It's sad really." Sesshomaru said. Annika titled her head in confusion. "I have more respect for the half-breed." Sesshomaru turned and walked away, he could hear his sisters growling as he left.

Inuyasha tossed and turned in Kagome's bed, he was sweating, but couldn't get warm. "I haven't been sick in 100 years." Inuyasha to himself before dozing off to sleep.

-Flash back-

Inuyasha, about six years old, sat under a tree. There was a thin layer of snow on the ground. He had been attacked by a group of villagers, who were still looking for him. His broken ribs and arm kept him from climbing to the safety of a tree. Blood mixed with saliva rolled of his lip and fell onto his kimono, he was struggling to stay awake. "He's over here!" A man cried out.

Inuyasha cringed at the brightness of all their torches. "You thought you could cast a spell on our head-masters wife and get away with it?" He wasn't quite sure who said it. "I didn't cast a spell on anybody." Inuyasha slurred, he had a concussion, along with three days of no sleep. He could feel his body swaying as if he were in the ocean. He heard several men shriek, and feet padding away.

He felt his little body being lifted off the cold hard ground and into someones arms. "Who are you?" Inuyasha asked half-asleep. "I am your sister, Asuka." his sister responded stroking his hair lightly.

-0-0-0-0-

"Inuyasha? Inuyasha!?" Kagome's voice woke him as she shook his shoulder. "What he asked, shivering. "You're burning up are you okay?" She sounded kind of frantic, she'd never seen him sick before. Inuyasha didn't respond, so Kagome covered him with a blanket and wrapped her arms around his waist.
