" with these two new guys it's going to be an issue boss." the man said over the phone.

"You better get it done Narakuwill be there soon to help you finish the job. I'm tired of playing nice ibwant this girl dead bring her to me Now. so i can get hat I want and kill her. this is taking to long."said the angry man on the phone.

"Sir you don't understand they brought in two more people that was why I called you getting to her is going to be even harder now. one of the guys knows her personally clams to have went to school with her before her family was killed. I was there she ran when she seen him and was crying. The other one is a half breed and he is the worse of the two he watches her like a hawk. he's familiar to me but I can't place where I seen him before." said the other voice.

"look I don't care kill them all I'm not going to wait much longer do you understand me said the boss. " where is the girl now"? he added

she ran inside the safe house when she seen hojo he's the guy she knew before all of this. from my understanding she locked herself in a room and isn't responding to anyone" he added.

"Get in there take her and bring her to me!" yelled the boss.

Looking around to make sure no none was around he headed back to the safe house. looking around to see if anyone was following him he headed for the back side of the house. the further he walked the more unsure he felt about this. 'Why? why does he have to do this? why did it matter? My life is on the line that's why i took this job knowing what I was going to get into there is no reason to back out now.

reaching the backside of the house he looked to see the position of the cameras he had to make sure he was in the blind spot. the house was fairly large and he could see the cameras one was facing south and the other one was east he was in the clear. he climbed the tree next to the outer wall to get a better look. he could use this to gain access to her room. he got into position and was about to inch further down the branch when he saw movement in the room. he froze the half demon was in the room holding the girl in his arms this wasn't good.

"Kagome, please open up." asked Inuyasha.

She didn't come to the door he didn't hear a single sound coming from the room. he knew she was iin there he scent was coming out of the nooks of the door frame. he knocked again,"Kagome please open the door I was wanting to talk to you." he said still nothing alright he decided he would give her some space.

'I don't like the way she reacted to this Hojo guy it unsettled him to see her react in such a way he couldn't explain why he felt this way he just knew the it wasn't normal from what he heard she has never acted like this before the two wolves that have been with her said that she didn't really show her emotions often an there was only a handful of times that theyhave seen her cry or anything why now? why would she now let emotions that she hid away come through.

Two hours later Inuyasha went back to the room Kagome was in he knocked no reply kncoked again still nothing finally he decided to take matter into his own hands. he walked out side spottednher window and jumped in. what he saw my his heart ache.

In the corner of the room Kagome laid in a ball hugging her legs to her body. she was asleep the closer he got he could see that her cheeks were stained from tears. he leaned towards her she looked so peaceful laying there like that. When he seen he before she was happy or at least acted happy only thing he got from her now was sorrow. He didn't know what her life has been like since they last met but he believed it was all starting to take its toll on her. Leaning down he tucked his arm one arm under her knees and the other under her head. he lifted her up and started to carry her towards the bed while laying her done he seen a small silver chain he pulled it to discover that there was a pendant on the end with a slight smile on his face there was a small crescent moon on the chain. he let the pendant drop seen in unshead tear and wiped it away being mindful of his claws. she let out a small sigh with a small smile on her face.

Kagome i promise asnlong as im here i will protect you with my life. he brushed a hear out of face and dropped a blanket over her. glancing back at her he walked out of the door and gently closed it.

it was near midnight when they heard the screams they erupted as if the pits of hell opened up and was attacking. Hakaku was at the door first the screams where ear shattering the closer they got he tried to open the door.

"The door is locked!" he yelled.

"that's impossible I didn't lock it when I walked out." Inuyasha said.

"You was in Kagome's room?. asked Hakaku him and Ginta looks at him waiting okin him to answer.

" Look yea I was in there I was making sure she was okay she was asleep so I put her in bed and Wales out" he answed, I didn't lock the door.

they could hear the pure terror radiating from the room they looked at each other and nodded. Ginta rammed his shoulder into the door once nothing him and Hakaku looked at each other and nodded. they both slammed their shoulder into the door and it came crashing down with a loud thud. the noise scared Kagome so bad she jumped right out of the bed and went running. she ran past Hakaku and Ginta and slammed right into Inuyasht's chest knocking them both to the floor. At that time Hojo and a few others came flying up the steps.

"Kagome..." Inuyasha said looking down at her. She was crying and shaking so bad he felt as if they just went through an earthquake and ther was aftershocks running about them.

"Th...the t...tree someone's in the tree I saw i saw someone..." she stammered out. Inuyasha stood up still holding her close. he could see Hojo looking at them and he didn't like what was going on.

" Get some men outside now!"Hakaku yelled have the whole area checked. Hojo nodded and ran down stairs.

" Shit she seen me." he said. boss ain't going to like this at all.

"JAKOTSU DO YOU SEE ANYONE!" Hojo yelled.

"N...no I haven't seen anything at al just some raccoons." he said'

'Damn that was too close maybe she didn't see me after all. I won't make this mistake again. I have to get her alone Damn that half breed his starting to really complicate things.'

"inu...Inuyasha don't leave me." Kagome whispered before she collapsed.

he looked at her she was so exhausted and looked so scared. she had a death grip on his t shirt.

"Never." he whispered as hi lifted her into his arms and walked back into the room. he was going to lay her back down but she wouldn't let go of him. he looked at Hakaku for help and he just grinned and nodded his head and they walked out. Inuyasha stood there a minute and just decided to claim on the bed and rest his back against the head bored. he laid the looking at her for a long minute and knew then and there he would protect her for the rest of his life and that's when he seen it the faint hit of red in the crescent moon. someone really was out there.
