To my faithful followers: Thank you. Thank you and if you have any suggestions feel free to message me.

He held me close and I buried my face in his kimono hoping ta for once I was safe when a knocking sounded at the door and a muffled voice called to the inhabitants.

"Come out DEAR, I know that you're in there and it's time you come home. I miss you, and I won't leave without you."

Inuyasha jumped up with me in his arms. I tried to squirm free but he wouldn't loosen his grip, instead he made his way to the wall. Once there he pushed some stones that seemed a little off-set and a door opened. Inside was an elevator that looked like a dumbwaiter. Inuyasha sat down on it with me still on his lap and pulled the lever for us to go down while his mother shut the door.

Izayou shut the secret door and walked over to answer the door. She opened it to find a burly man who looked about 4 years older than Kagome. She closed the door on herself so that the only way in was literally through her and gave him a big smile.

"Hello, may I help you?" She asked him. He shifted his wait impatiently.

"Is Kagome in there?" He requested pointing into the house. She blatantly shook her head.

"I can't answer anything until I know whose looking." She said pointedly.

"I'm her father." He lied. She took a step further out and smelt the whiskey on his breath.

"You shouldn't be drinking and driving ." She smiled pointing her own finger towards his car. "By the way her father is dead."

"Okay, you got me. I'm her husband, but I'm cool." Her expression changed to disbelief. "We got into a little argument and I'd like to make it up to her but I can't seem to find her." He tried to sound sincere.

"Well I hate to report that I haven't seen her. She hasn't come around since a little while before she got married. I really must go." Izayou went to shut the door when he stuck his hand in the door.

"I know she's in there and I will find her." He growled. Izayou nearly spit in his face because he was so close, instead she pointed a handgun at his face.

"I'm sorry but I am well trained with this gun and have every right to use it. Remove your hand from my door." He did so slowly the look of surprise never leaving his face. "Now I haven't seen Kagome for a while and I'm not having some lunatic busting into my home because he doesn't know where she is, but she sure isn't here. Now I suggest you leave before things get ugly and I have to call the police." She threatened now holding the gun with both hands. He apologized and back into his car, Izayou shut the door and watched him drive off.

"Mommy." Izayou turned to face Kanna at the base of the stairs.

"Yes dear?" She lowered the gun to her side.

"I thought the gun was in the cupboard in the kitchen." Kanna questioned looking at the gun in her mother's hand.

"It is, this a new one I just got after Kagome showed up. Her husband did really bad things to her I'm sure you know and I need to protect all of us." She took her daughters hand and led her through the rest of the house to secure the rest of the weapons.

"What…what is this?" I whispered to Inuyasha. Inuaysha stroked my hair but hesitated in answering.

"My dad." He finally said. I shot him a puzzled look, his dead has been dead since before kindergarden. "He made it before he died. It's a bomb shelter and also the safest place in the house." I nodded and rested my head on his chest knowing how hard this must be for him.

The elevator stopped at a room furnished in two beds, a couch, a refrigerator, a regenerator, and other various supplies for a long stay in this part basement. I climbed off of him and stretched. I decided to sit on the edge of the bed. All at once Inuyasha was pressed against her in a deep embrace. She felt something she didn't want to and try to pull away. He refused to loosen her grip.

"Inuyasha please." I whispered. He backed away, didn't say a word and went to sit on the couch facing away from me. I put a hand to my heart in hopes to slow its pace. What was he trying to do? He nearly had me lain on the bed. I thought silently to myself. I was shaken but lay down on the bed anyway. A few minutes later a felt a shadow behind me. I rolled over and was surprised to see Inuyasha reaching out to me.

"What are you doing?" I asked him annoyed.

"Kagome can I talk to you?" He asked hesitantly sitting on his side of the bed.

"Sure." I replied just barely above a whisper sitting up.

"Kagome. I was really scared up there okay. Promise me you'll never go back to him, never. I don't think I could handle it. There's a part of me that you don't know about." He said taking my hand.

"I might have to Inyasha, he is my husband. Besides it's not like you're a murderer." His eyes darkened at the last word and he looked away. "Inuyasha…"

"Just promise me please." His voice a little huskier than usual.

"I don't know if I….ouch, you're hurting me." He had started squeezing hurt hand hard.

"Have you…have you killed someone?" I looked at him in horror. He still wouldn't look up.

"Yes." He finally whispered.

Well there you have it. : ) Hope you all enjoy.
