Thank you loyal ones. Please enjoy.

"He sounded very convincing… how can I be sure he isn't telling the truth?" The cashier questioned me.

"I know exactly who I am and who he is. I am Kagome Higurashi that is my husband, Naraku Higurashi. He is a very, very awful man. You see this?" I pointed to the patches of missing flesh on my arms, "He did this to me," I pointed to my stomach, "He did this to me, against my will." The bell rang from above the entrance. I looked up and there he was.

"Inuyasha!" I called and ran from behind to counter to him. He wrapped me in his arms and held me tight.

"Kagome, I've been searching all over town for you. The car was at the mall, where did you go?" He said releasing me enough to look at my face. His own was so beautiful, it was a wonder that I didn't fall in love with it earlier.

"It was Naraku, he kidnapped me and then left me in the woods, probably for dead. He was just here, but the clerk got rid of him." I jutted out. I wrapped him in a tight hug.

"Yeah, I can smell his scent. Come on, I'll take you home." He started for the door, my hand in his.

"No, the police are on their way. It's time I told them what has been happening to me…and my baby."

"But Kagome, are you sure?" I nodded firmly. I knew that I needed to talk, I placed a hand on my stomach, I knew that my children deserved better than the constant fear of that man. Inuyasha took my hand and sat me down as the cashier offered me a chair to wait. We sat waiting and waiting.

3.5 hours later

"Kagome, can I get you anything?" Inuyasha asked holding me on his lap. I shook my head and lay upon his chest.

"I can't believe that they aren't here yet, it is only a few blocks from here." I said absently. As if on a cue the phone rang. The cashier picked up and a grave look came over his face. He thanked the person on the other end and hug up.

"You may just leave; they said that you aren't needed and that you can go home."

"But why?" I asked standing up and straightening my tattered dress.

"Honestly, I don't know. It seems highly peculiar to me."

"Okay.." I took Inuyasha's hand as he guided me out the door.

We started in silence; neither of us knew what to say. I kept holding my stomach and smoothing my dress. I tried to remember what had happened during my captivity.

I started to release the fluids I had been holding for hours in the straw. It ran down my leg over the fresh wounds stinging so fierce that I started to scream through the tears. I ripped off a piece of my dress to wipe it away with. I looked around the room finding scarcely a thing in it. It was a tiny place with barely air to breath. I needed to sleep but couldn't possibly sleep on the hard floor. I tried to feel what was active in my body. My cervix was on fire and dilated too. He raped me. The cuts must have been fresher because they stung with more severity. I closed my eyes to try to feel it all so that I would know where to tell the doctor to look. He cut the cervix too, before so that the juices would flow into it. There was more pain, more cuts…behind my ears, he cut a solitary line just behind my ears, but why? I was so tired, I had to sleep. The babies kicked in agreement, or agony, I couldn't possible know which.

"Did he.." Inuyasha started but I cut him off.

"Uh huh." I stared straight ahead. I didn't want to see the anger crawl over his face. I had lost my anger, it's almost to be expected now. Anger never solved my grievances. I let a single tear cascade down. I heard some sniffling and realized that we had pulled over. I looked over to see Inuyasha's head in his arms over the steering wheel. He was crying. I felt a pang of guilt and turned myself to face him putting a hand on his arm.

"Inu.." I whispered, "What's wrong?" He wiped at his eyes and looked up at me.

"I love you Kagome-"

"I know, and I love you t-"

"And I have failed you. I love you and yet he still has you." He glanced at my stomach, "He will always have you and I can never save you from him. I can never be good enough for you to be able to simply go out of the house." I stared at him with my mouth hanging open. I didn't what to say or what I could do. It hurt and shocked me, what he had said. I wiped at my face to find that his words had caused me to join the salty sea that was drowning us so slowly.

I hugged him and held him tightly in my arms. We cried for ourselves and each other. We both calmed down after some time gaining our composures, at least well enough to get us home. I didn't know about him but I was completely exhausted and just wanted to go to sleep. I rolled down the window to get some fresh air.

After a few miles I started to smell smoke but Inuyasha was already speeding to get back home. I slid a glance at him hoping against hope that it wasn't what we both were suspecting. We approached an uproarious fire consuming our house in violent yellow flames devouring it with the greed of a million kings. It was angry as the man who had set it himself, Naraku. We both knew it. My heart sunk as we drew closer and saw the ambulance loading someone into the back, the flames also claiming the neighboring houses.

He pulled to the side about three houses down and ran towards the inferno. I locked the car and struggled to keep up with him. As I approached Inuyasha was fighting against two firemen and an EMP to get into the ambulance, tears flying off his face. The closer I got the more I could hear.

"You have to … go, I need to … me to be …!"

"… you can't go in … severe burns and abrasions and she … "

I finally got close enough to hear clearly. I struggled to catch my breath as I listened.

"I have to see her; you have to let me to her!"

"Can you give us your name and relation?"

I held my breath for his response and peered into the ambulance.

"Izayou, Izayou Fang! She's my mother!'
