He had searched his room four times in a failing pursuit of his phone and yet he still continued on for one more. ‘I just had it, I couldn’t have lost it’
Stopping from his tirade, he plopped down on his cluttered bed trying to clear his head.
“Think Inuyasha, think. Where could it be?” He frantically searched his mind to where he last had his cell phone.
‘All I remember is being on it in the car. Then I came inside and I was arguing with that bastard brother of mine’
“FUCK!” He slammed his fists into the bed out of frustration. ‘If that bastard wasn’t here then I wouldn’t be having this problem. Fuckin father! Why would he feel the need to provide me with a fucking babysitter. Irresponsible my ass. Ugh! Never mind him. Think Yash. Think! What did you do after talking to that idiot?’
‘After that I went to eat something out of the kitchen, but I didn’t see it on the counter so it must have been in my pocket’ Inuyasha’s mind began to wander about the possibilities of his half-brother taking it. ‘The demon must have it!’ There could be no other explanation for his missing phone.
His eyes widened in surprise as he heard a low thud followed by the silent flush of a toilet.
“The fucking bastard!” was all that was heard as he went running out of his room towards the downstairs living room.
Arriving downstairs in a red, silver, and blue blur, Inuyasha found his brother looking into the refrigerator for something. Apparently everything looked displeasing to the demon.
Inuyasha didn’t believe that his brother had been there the whole time just for the fact alone that they were the only ones in the mansion and a toilet certainly couldn’t flush itself. Besides, Sesshoumaru always knew what he wanted, he hated wasting time looking for something without knowing what it was.
A low growl began to form at the back of Inuyasha’s throat.
Sesshoumaru’s raised eyebrow was the only difference that showed he heard the growl. “What is it that you think you are doing?” He had closed the fridge and was moving real close to his brother. Looking down to face Inuyasha, he snarled and bared his fangs. “You will cease that noise or I will rip out your throat for you’re never ending stupidity” His hands remained at his side and were beginning to emit a green glow from the poison that was contained inside and was waiting to be released.
Inuyasha’s golden orbs narrowed as his growling stopped. “Stop fucking playin with me. Where is my god damned phone?” Inuyasha’s voice was so low that if it weren’t for Sesshoumaru’s enhanced hearing, he would’ve missed it.
For a few seconds there was no response. With a velvety smooth voice and cold eyes a response was finally given. “Why do you suspect that I know the whereabouts of your cell phone? Did you fail to keep track of your own possession and now wish to place the blame for your own incompetence on me?” Sesshoumaru’s face was now inches away from Inuyasha’s.
Fangs bared, golden eyes were tainted with a slight hint of pink. Only one intelligible thing came out of Inuyasha’s mouth. “Fuck you Sesshoumaru”
Wrong answer.
Inuyasha now found himself suspended up into the air by a glowing hand that almost completely sealed off his air supply. He instantly regretted opening his mouth. After gaining some composure for what just happened, He looked into the eyes of his brother. They were slowly starting to bleed red, his amber eyes held something else in them. It was something that he has never seen before, but Inu wasn’t sure of what it was. For once, Inuyasha found himself speechless. He did not know what his brother would do to him while he was in that state. Feeing the grip on his throat tighten, he knew he would have to do something soon.

Having a dark sky filled with a full moon and many bright stars would be so captivating to Sango. The only thing that she would have to do is to look up to see this wonderful sight. She failed to notice it due to the fact that she had yet to close the backdoor to the Higurashi house. Being ever so gentle, she managed to close it having the only a soft click as the only audible sound. To her knowledge, she had managed to make it out of the house without being seen. She almost felt guilty for doing so. Almost. They would all worry over Kagome. Sango knew that is not what her family needed at this point in time.
Making her way across the shrine grounds that once held many large crowds of people that came to pray and visit this historical place. Now only a handful of people come to pay their respects.
‘Well you can’t really blame them’ Once Kagome’s grandfather passed away, there was nobody who was able to continue the tours and tell the historic tales of the shrine. He took so much pride in the shrine that he would not tolerate dust to even be inside of the shrine. It wasn’t perfect, but it was so beautiful especially in the spring, even a few weddings occurred here. He really is missed by many. The money from the tours was not enough for Mrs. Higurashi to continue to support her family. There was also no possible way she would’ve been able to have a full time job and run the shrine. Kagome and Souta were still in school so having them do it was not an option. Knowing that having an education was the better decision for her children, the shrine basically closed down. It was still open to the public, but many people felt that it would be rude to come and disturb the family. It has been this way for three years now.
Many things were in need of repair due to lack of care. The family certainly couldn’t afford to fix them at the moment. Sango began feeling sad for the Higurashi family. She could only imagine what they were really going through. ‘Stop that Sango. Kagome told you not to do that. She doesn’t want your sympathy or anybody else’s. Speaking of the devil, I need to get outta here so I can find her’
Taking one last look around the shrine grounds, something pulled at her. The Goshinboku appeared to be calling for her attention. Without thinking, her head turned to the majestic tree. Upon the sight of it, Sango felt her body suddenly relax. Even her mind was now at ease. ‘I wonder what this could all mean’ The tree did not answer her thought as it stood proud and tall. Deciding against dwelling too long on her thoughts, while in her current predicament. There was still a risk of her getting caught and questioned by the two members inside of the house. Mentally she began to laugh at herself. ‘This is silly. Why am I trying to sneak around like I stole something?’ Despite what she was thinking, she reluctantly moved away from the tree. Sango continued to stay cautious as she made her way to the shrine staircase.
On the way down, suddenly a feeling of unease consumed her. Sango couldn’t help but get feeling that she was being watched. As she continued on, this feeling did not let up. Not liking her chances of being caught in the middle of a dark staircase, she began to quicken her pace to almost an all out run.
Nearing the bottom of this great staircase, her speed slowed down as her eyes laid upon a chromed-out black Mercedes XLR. Relief flooded over her as she saw her knight step out of the car and face her.

Parking outside of a rundown looking building which so happened to be on the outskirts of Tokyo. Streetlights barely illuminated the old street. In the dim light Kagome was able to notice Akima’s Volkswagen Beetle parked outside, but is wasn’t in its usual spot. ‘That’s strange’
Looking up, the windows were all lit from the light inside on the top floor. ‘That’s weird, she never does that. She can’t afford to do that. What is going on?’ Not only that but Kagome knew that Akima loved her privacy. Nobody ever bothered her while she lived here. The building looked so horrible on the outside, but the inside of it was gorgeous and very spacious. Akima did not want anyone to know what was insider of her home because she wanted to keep the risk of theft to a minimum. ‘I hope that I’m worrying for nothing’
Kagome got out of the car grabbing only the keys and locking the doors to the car. She proceeded towards the building in an all out run. She was so terrified for her friend. Not knowing what could possibly be wrong or if something was wrong. The only thing that was on her mind was that she hoped that it wasn’t too late for Akima. ‘Please let everything be alright’
*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~* ~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*
Never in her life did Sango think Miroku’s smile was the one thing that she wanted to see at the moment. Forgetting herself she ran up to Miroku and put her arms around his neck and embraced him.
Miroku was speechless, he was even afraid to touch her. A short moment passed without her saying anything. Hesitantly he asked “My love?”
Her mind heard his voice but nothing really registered. Her hold on him tightened as she brought her lips to his ear.
The feel of her breasts on his person was a great sensation in itself. His mind was going into overdrive, let alone his hormones. The control that he had on his body was slipping. A hand of his was slowly moving upward, still being wary of its distance. Feeling her lips move closer, he unconsciously held his breath.
Only a tiny distance lay between Miroku’s sensitive ear and Sango’s tender lips. He felt a soft breath grace his ear. “Miro” At that moment, a lump formed in his throat and his pants felt really tight. He only hoped that she hadn’t noticed. “Please” Her words sounded as if she was in need of something that only he could give.
Miroku’s heart stopped beating. ‘I don’t think that I can control myself from taking her if she says one more word’ On her lower back was where his hand now rested. A sigh slipped from his lips as he relaxed. Wanting to stay like this similarly as he had in his fantasies.
“Take me away from here” With those words his heart leapt, but he was unsure of her meaning. Damn it, he wasn’t sure if he had heard her right.
“Sango?” His voice came out as a whisper. Moving his face to look as hers, he saw that she would not meet his gaze. Allowing his free hand to move her face so that he could look into her beautiful chocolate depths. Those depths held water in them and he did not know why. “What’s wrong? Did I do something?” Feeling slightly hurt, his hands fell limp to his sides.
Sango had failed to notice how he was reacting. To her, his words were turned into a soothing voice in her ears. Her mistake was discovered when she took a look into his eyes. There was sadness showing in his eyes. ‘Oh silly Miroku’
“Miro… When I was walking down, I could feel someone watching me. I was just frightened.” Sango made sure to look into his eyes and to keep her voice low as she spoke. “Let’s get outta here. Ok?” She put on a sincere smile and gently pulled him towards the vehicle.
A look of understanding was on his face followed by a tiny smirk ‘I do have a chance’ There was a strong light of hope for him and he wasn’t about to let this opportunity fly through the window.
*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~ ~~*~~~~*
On the bottom level of Akima’s place, Kagome got this eerie feeling. It was quiet, way too quiet for her taste. Besides for the stale smell, a strange odor was in the air, but now was not the time for her to be exploring for it. There was no light around and she surely wasn’t about to flip one on. ‘Thank Kami I have been here before. I at least know my way around for the most part’ As silently as she could, Kagome managed to get to the stairs.
‘This place is a mess’ Everything and anything was all over the floor.
Listening for any type of noise before she proceeded up. Finding none, which was extremely odd, she continued on. The further up she got, the more nervous she became. ‘This isn’t right. I shouldn’t be here. I should just call the police and have them check it out.’
Pausing midway, a light could be seen from the top. Kagome continued her mental argument. ‘Akima wouldn’t turn back now if she thought I was in some sort of trouble. I know that she needs me, which should be enough for me to go forward. But something is really wrong… I can just feel it.’ Looking up, she thought that she had heard a noise. ‘I need to have a plan if things are bad up there. Ummm…….’ A light went off inside her head. ‘Kouga!! He knows where she lives, as a matter of fact, he lives close by!’ She flipped out her phone and wrote him a quick text message which read “I NEED u ASAP come 2 Akima’s!”. While she was still messing with her phone, she might as well put the ringer on silent.
Putting her phone back on her hip, Kagome silenced her mind so that she could open all of her senses. Even though she was barely trained, she was still trained nonetheless. With two more steps to go, she began to hold her breath. Trying her best to be prepared for what she was about to get into. Hopefully she was getting all worked up for nothing.
Light had hit her face now that she was off of the stairs. The sight in front of her was beyond her wildest dreams. What she was witnessing was enough to make her fall back down the stairs. Luckily she caught a rail before tumbling down. Kagome now was holding onto the rail as a lifeline. Steadying herself with one hand on the rail and the other clutching her heart. She had to be brave for her friend and continue on. Putting one shaky leg in front of the other, Kagome soon found herself in the middle of crimson room. Originally this room was beige and navy blue, but too much blood now filled the room. Tears filled her eyes as she frantically searched for her friend and child. The foul smell was making her want to vomit, she didn’t even want to start thinking about the squishy feel underneath her shoes.
Blood was everywhere, one couldn’t tell where it began. ‘How many people does all this blood belong to?’ Looking at the stained couch, there were some darker spots on it. ‘Oh my God, a lot of this blood is old’ No longer caring to be cautious, Kagome ran to Akima’s room.
The door to the bedroom was off of its hinges. Light was emitting from the room, but there was not a single soul in there. Though there was no one there, Kagome froze at what she saw. The blankets on the bed were torn to shreds and were also covered in blood. She walked closer to make sure that Akima wasn’t mixed in with the messy blanket. Pulling back the covers her hand had touched some type of liquid.
‘What the fuck?!’ On her hand was a milky looking type substance. She was too familiar with what this was. “EWW!!!”
Immediately, her hand began rubbing the blanket in another spot to get the body fluid off of her. ‘Gross!’
‘That was disgusting’ Kagome turned to leave out of the room when something caught her eye.
‘What?’ Raising her hand to feel the marks that were made inside of the doorframe. ‘These are claw marks! What would another youkai be doing here?’ She knew full well that those marks couldn’t have been made by a kitsune. They were too deep and very thick in the wood. ‘I need to find them fast’
‘I need to check Shippo’s room’ Almost tripping off of a few fallen picture frames from her speed, Kagome managed to make her way into Shippo’s room. His room was not very bright, but at least there was enough light to see where things were.
Feeling her heart jump into her throat as she neared his crib, almost afraid of what she was to witness. ‘Kami if anything, please let him be alright’ To her surprise little Shippo lay in his crib sleeping. Grabbing an extra blanket she gently wrapped it around him to pick him up and take her with him.
A loud crash of glass shattering happened downstairs. Kagome jumped and let out a squeak of surprise. ‘Just great Kagome…’ Before she could even finish that thought, someone was running up the stairs rather quickly and clumsily.
She stopped her actions with Shippo and hurried to find a place of shelter. Searching frantically, she found none that weren’t too obvious. Footsteps were getting closer to where Kagome was.
Not giving anything a second thought, she fled underneath the crib. ‘Focus, Kagome, Focus’ Quickly she hid her scent and aura. Kagome knew how to do basic miko spells. ‘All thanks to Jii-chan’ Her heart was beating a mile a minute.
Before she knew it, there were two huge hairy brown feet full with dirty black claws in front of her. ‘He must be a bear youkai…. Ugh! Or a werewolf. I’m really pullin for the first one.’
The creature was sniffing around. Then he was silent. Kagome assumed he was trying to hear for her heartbeat or breathing. Calming herself she concentrated on her breathing and slowed her rapid heart rate. Hopefully it wouldn’t give her away because it was loud in her ears.
“BITCH where the fuck are you!” The beast roared.
‘What?! He knows that I’m here?’ Kagome almost began to panic, but she forced to hold her spell and keep with her controlled breathing despite the fact that she was scared beyond all belief.
“Bitch don’t make me start with the fuckin child again!” The voice was filled with anger and promise. Heavy footsteps could be heard moving towards the crib.
‘No!’ Kagome was about to move from her spot when she heard a rustling noise coming from the corner opposite from the crib.
“Pl-please…let him… let him be” Akima’s voice was weak as she was struggling to sit up. Because of the dim light Kagome could not see Akima clearly, but what she did see was surely not what she expected. Akima’s bruised face was swollen with dried blood and several cuts that held angry welts, her beautiful hair was now a tangled mess, and her body was wrapped up in a blanket to her shoulders, most likely hiding her beaten and abused body. Never in her life had Kagome thought that she would ever witness something like this. Her heart was screaming for her to help her friend once she looked into her eyes, but for once Kagome did not know what to do.
‘Akima must know I’m here. But why didn’t she say anything to me? What does she want me to do?’ Kagome caught the quick flicker of movement that Akima’s eyes made before she faced the beast. Kagome’s eyes widened ‘Shippo!’ Even though her friend was no longer looking at her, Kagome nodded her head to let her know that she understood.
“Why should I? You ungrateful bitch!” It stepped closer to Akima “You have been disobedient as of late, you need to be taught some fucking manners.
.:SLAP!!:.
On impact, Akima’s fragile body hit the blood stained floor with a crack. ‘I cant take this!’ A hand rose from where Akima’s body lay as if to stop Kagome from coming out of hiding. ‘But why?’ Kagome could feel her heart shattering into tiny pieces. Especially as she watched her friend force her tiny self up into her previous position. Her eyes filled with unshed tears.
“Did …” she stopped to clear her throat “Did you eat Bushi-sama?” Akima held her head down as she spoke “If not I can make something for you if you so please.”
“Now that’s better bitch!” Bushi turned his back on her “Make me something quick and bring it to the bedroom.”
Inwardly Kagome cringed. ‘That sick bastard!’
He walked to the doorway only to pause “I want to have something in my stomach as I have you on your knees.” letting a chuckle pass his lips “If you’re a good bitch, I might let cut our evening session short” Bushi then took his leave.
After allowing a few seconds to pass Akima started to move. Instead of leaving the room, she turned around to grab something. After obtaining the object that was searched for, she crawled towards Kagome. Pushing forward the object in question to her, she finally spoke. “Take good care of him..” she looked over her shoulder then back at Kagome “Thanks for coming, I knew I could rely you. I love him so much, you’re the only one I want him to be with” Her eyes were filled with unshed tears.
This was when Kagome finally noticed how weak Akima’s aura actually was. She reached out to touch her friend. The skin on the fox demon’s shoulder was cold to the touch. Obviously due to too much blood loss “Why Kimi? Why don’t you come with us?” Her voice, though a whisper, was cracking.
“I must go to distract him, I want you two to be safe. Take this with you and get outta here” She handed Kagome a purse, filled with something, and she stood on shaky legs to take her leave. “Besides, my body cannot last much longer from this abuse”
Tears ran down both of their faces as they silently said their final goodbyes. Kagome was clutching the carpet beneath her in a tight grip as her tears continued to fall.
“BITCH, HURRY THE FUCK UP!!” The beast named Bushi was apparently impatient. A faint sigh left Akima’s lips as she unconsciously made the blanket around her body tighter. With a slight limp, she slowly made her way to what was once her clean, beautiful bedroom.
Not wanting to wait any longer Kagome put the purse strap on her shoulder and came out of hiding. She was going to get Shippo out of this place no matter what.
*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~ *~~~~*
They had been riding around for some time now and the silence was killing Sango’s already frayed nerves.
“Can you please turn on some music or something?” The silence had finally gotten the best of her. “The sound of your breathing can only be so entertaining”
Turning his head slightly, he raised an eyebrow. “Why would I want to hear someone else sing when we can make our own music? Besides, you can make my breath make all sorts of noises if you now what you are doing”
“Miroku…” Sango had closed her eyes trying to fight the urge to slap him in the face.
“Yes, my love?” he said in an amused tone.
“Turn on the fucking radio.”
Exhaling, he gave up “As you wish” He played around with the stations and stopped when he didn’t find anything on that he liked. He cut on the cd that he had in his car and searched for a particular song.
Seconds had passed and Sango had no idea as to what this song could be. “Miroku” He glanced her way. “What is this?”
“Just listen” he smirked. “I’m sure that you will like it. Its American” With that said he restarted the song.
“Whateva you say Miroku” she began to relax after at least getting some type of music playing.
*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~ ~~~*~~~~*
Step one you say we need to talk
He walks you say sit down it's just a talk
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Kagome gently picked up Shippo so that he would not wake. ‘Whoa, he’s heavier than I thought’ Despite his weight, she carefully maneuvered him to her shoulder while her arm was supporting his bottom and legs. He shifted slightly but did not wake from the change of positions.
She waited until his nose picked up her scent. Kagome only hoped that he remembered her smell because if he started crying now, there would be no escaping from this house uninjured or possibly alive. Then everything Akima wanted would go to waste.
Shippo began to stir. His little nose turned to her neck and he inhaled. His little body tensed up, but he didn’t make a sound. After a short while he relaxed into a deep slumber once again. Now was the time for Kagome to make her move and it had to be fast. There was no protection that she could give if she was to be caught. Her fighting skills were not the best, hopefully she would be quick enough to escape unnoticed.
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
And you begin to wonder why you came
As stealthy as she could Kagome made her way into the living room. Before making her entire body visible in the brightly lit room, she looked around to see if it was clear for them to pass. Seeing that it was safe, she continued forward.
Her slow pace seemed to be getting her nowhere, but if she ran, Bushi would surely hear her. Then again if he were to pass by the door, he would surely see her. Midway through the room, male moaning could be heard from the bedroom.
‘Disgusting, that bastard should have his dick chopped off and be fucked in his ass with no lubricant’ She shook her head. ‘Well at least now I can move a little faster’
Guilty thoughts were going through her mind about Akima. ‘Why didn’t she say something to me earlier? When did this all happen? Where was I through all of this? I wish that I was here for her. She shouldn’t be going through this. What the fuck was I doing to be so blind to something like this?! How come this happened to her?! She is too sweet for all of this.’
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
Quickening her pace to the staircase Kagome’s grip on Shippo tightened. ‘Almost there’ The stairs were in her sight, but she looked to her left as she passed by the bedroom. ‘…….’ Words couldn’t form in her mind as she say the freakishly huge male was stroking himself in all of his glory in front of Akima while she sat on her knees naked as the day she was born facing him. She heard him say “Suck my dick, I want to feel the back of your fucking throat”
‘He’s sick!!.. But I cant do anything if I want Shippo to be safe’
Akima was now having her head shoved along his shaft and slammed to the base of it. Her gagging was sickening, but he still wouldn’t stop.
‘That twisted bastard!! He’s gonna pay! I’m coming Kimi’
Kagome stopped in her tracks when she saw Akima’s back. What had made Kagome decide against barging in was the large wound on Akima’s back. A thick slash mark was made crossing from the top of her left shoulder continuing to her right side on her lower back. Bushi had damaged her back so badly that you could see some of the bones of her spine. It was slightly old because there were dried blood along the wound but blood and puss was still oozing out of it.
‘That’s why she wants me to take Shippo’ Her friend would truly not live much longer. Kagome’s heart went out to her beloved friend. ‘Akima is truly strong’
Let him know that you know best
Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
She had no hand on the railing, forgetting where she was, Kagome was running down the stairs. No longer afraid of falling down the steps because she mastered it a long time ago. ‘Climbing those shrine steps finally became useful’
All that she now cared about was getting out of this place with Shippo.
‘I promise you Kimi, that I would take the best care of him as he were my own. I will never forget you.’
Tears were unconsciously falling out of her eyes as she thought about her friend.
‘That sick, twisted fucker will pay for what he has done to you-- this I can promise to see to it myself’
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
And pray to God he hears you
And I pray to God he hears you
Trying her best not to trip over the scattered objects to get to the door. But it was proving a little unsuccessful because of her visual perception.
‘Does he not believe in light down here?’
A tiny shimmer of light could be found. It was coming through the peephole of the front door. Using that as her focus she continued onward only preparing herself for the run to the car.
‘We are almost there. Its just a little further and then we will be home free!’
She was still being mindful of were she was stepping. Her feet were feeling their was for a clear path and only stepping over items if there was no path.
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
Kagome felt something sharp come in contact with the side of her leg. Unconsciously she jerked it in the opposite direction only to smash into something pointy.
“OW!” was yelled from her mouth. “Shit”
“WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?! BITCH, WHO THE FUCK IS DOWNSTAIRS?!!!” Bushi’s roar rang clear in her head.
She quickly realized the mistake that she had just made.
‘Its now or never’
Kagome was now trying her best to reach to door which led to their freedom. No longer caring about making loud noises. She only hoped that time was on her side and would let her escape.
As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
Carefully removing her leg from the object that penetrated it, she limped towards the door.
Blood was pouring from her wound but she no didn’t care about it at this moment. Her hand was almost in reach of the handle.
Kagome’s small hand almost touched the handle when she was suddenly forced backwards by something slamming into her stomach.
She had one thought ‘FUCK!!’
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came
Her hold on Shippo did not falter as she did her best to protect him while her head crashed into the wall with a sick crack. Shippo’s arm had been hanging from her shoulder and unfortunately it got smashed into the wall. Kagome’s body fell limp to the ground due to the impact.
She swallowed the vomit that threatened to come out but she did lean over to spit out blood that came from her teeth biting her tongue. Kagome had made no effort to try and comfort the crying Shippo, there was nothing that she could do for him right now.
Looking up in front of her, her dark eyes met a red pair. They held so much rage, not to mention his violent aura was unstable.
Kagome was once again afraid for her life. She had no clue what she could do to save them.
There was a painful throbbing at the back of her head that prevented her from thinking. What she did know is that she refused to have her body used and violated as he had done to her friend.
Bushi was now towering over her with his member still uncovered. Unconsciously her grip on Shippo tightened.
“What the fuck do you think your doing bitch?!”
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

‘Where is it??’ A silver haired hanyou was tearing apart his room looking for a certain object ‘It has to be here somewhere’He had searched his room four times in a failing pursuit of his phone and yet he still continued on for one more. ‘I just had it, I couldn’t have lost it’
Stopping from his tirade, he plopped down on his cluttered bed trying to clear his head.
“Think Inuyasha, think. Where could it be?” He frantically searched his mind to where he last had his cell phone.
‘All I remember is being on it in the car. Then I came inside and I was arguing with that bastard brother of mine’
“FUCK!” He slammed his fists into the bed out of frustration. ‘If that bastard wasn’t here then I wouldn’t be having this problem. Fuckin father! Why would he feel the need to provide me with a fucking babysitter. Irresponsible my ass. Ugh! Never mind him. Think Yash. Think! What did you do after talking to that idiot?’
‘After that I went to eat something out of the kitchen, but I didn’t see it on the counter so it must have been in my pocket’ Inuyasha’s mind began to wander about the possibilities of his half-brother taking it. ‘The demon must have it!’ There could be no other explanation for his missing phone.
His eyes widened in surprise as he heard a low thud followed by the silent flush of a toilet.
“The fucking bastard!” was all that was heard as he went running out of his room towards the downstairs living room.
Arriving downstairs in a red, silver, and blue blur, Inuyasha found his brother looking into the refrigerator for something. Apparently everything looked displeasing to the demon.
Inuyasha didn’t believe that his brother had been there the whole time just for the fact alone that they were the only ones in the mansion and a toilet certainly couldn’t flush itself. Besides, Sesshoumaru always knew what he wanted, he hated wasting time looking for something without knowing what it was.
A low growl began to form at the back of Inuyasha’s throat.
Sesshoumaru’s raised eyebrow was the only difference that showed he heard the growl. “What is it that you think you are doing?” He had closed the fridge and was moving real close to his brother. Looking down to face Inuyasha, he snarled and bared his fangs. “You will cease that noise or I will rip out your throat for you’re never ending stupidity” His hands remained at his side and were beginning to emit a green glow from the poison that was contained inside and was waiting to be released.
Inuyasha’s golden orbs narrowed as his growling stopped. “Stop fucking playin with me. Where is my god damned phone?” Inuyasha’s voice was so low that if it weren’t for Sesshoumaru’s enhanced hearing, he would’ve missed it.
For a few seconds there was no response. With a velvety smooth voice and cold eyes a response was finally given. “Why do you suspect that I know the whereabouts of your cell phone? Did you fail to keep track of your own possession and now wish to place the blame for your own incompetence on me?” Sesshoumaru’s face was now inches away from Inuyasha’s.
Fangs bared, golden eyes were tainted with a slight hint of pink. Only one intelligible thing came out of Inuyasha’s mouth. “Fuck you Sesshoumaru”
Wrong answer.
Inuyasha now found himself suspended up into the air by a glowing hand that almost completely sealed off his air supply. He instantly regretted opening his mouth. After gaining some composure for what just happened, He looked into the eyes of his brother. They were slowly starting to bleed red, his amber eyes held something else in them. It was something that he has never seen before, but Inu wasn’t sure of what it was. For once, Inuyasha found himself speechless. He did not know what his brother would do to him while he was in that state. Feeing the grip on his throat tighten, he knew he would have to do something soon.

Having a dark sky filled with a full moon and many bright stars would be so captivating to Sango. The only thing that she would have to do is to look up to see this wonderful sight. She failed to notice it due to the fact that she had yet to close the backdoor to the Higurashi house. Being ever so gentle, she managed to close it having the only a soft click as the only audible sound. To her knowledge, she had managed to make it out of the house without being seen. She almost felt guilty for doing so. Almost. They would all worry over Kagome. Sango knew that is not what her family needed at this point in time.
Making her way across the shrine grounds that once held many large crowds of people that came to pray and visit this historical place. Now only a handful of people come to pay their respects.
‘Well you can’t really blame them’ Once Kagome’s grandfather passed away, there was nobody who was able to continue the tours and tell the historic tales of the shrine. He took so much pride in the shrine that he would not tolerate dust to even be inside of the shrine. It wasn’t perfect, but it was so beautiful especially in the spring, even a few weddings occurred here. He really is missed by many. The money from the tours was not enough for Mrs. Higurashi to continue to support her family. There was also no possible way she would’ve been able to have a full time job and run the shrine. Kagome and Souta were still in school so having them do it was not an option. Knowing that having an education was the better decision for her children, the shrine basically closed down. It was still open to the public, but many people felt that it would be rude to come and disturb the family. It has been this way for three years now.
Many things were in need of repair due to lack of care. The family certainly couldn’t afford to fix them at the moment. Sango began feeling sad for the Higurashi family. She could only imagine what they were really going through. ‘Stop that Sango. Kagome told you not to do that. She doesn’t want your sympathy or anybody else’s. Speaking of the devil, I need to get outta here so I can find her’
Taking one last look around the shrine grounds, something pulled at her. The Goshinboku appeared to be calling for her attention. Without thinking, her head turned to the majestic tree. Upon the sight of it, Sango felt her body suddenly relax. Even her mind was now at ease. ‘I wonder what this could all mean’ The tree did not answer her thought as it stood proud and tall. Deciding against dwelling too long on her thoughts, while in her current predicament. There was still a risk of her getting caught and questioned by the two members inside of the house. Mentally she began to laugh at herself. ‘This is silly. Why am I trying to sneak around like I stole something?’ Despite what she was thinking, she reluctantly moved away from the tree. Sango continued to stay cautious as she made her way to the shrine staircase.
On the way down, suddenly a feeling of unease consumed her. Sango couldn’t help but get feeling that she was being watched. As she continued on, this feeling did not let up. Not liking her chances of being caught in the middle of a dark staircase, she began to quicken her pace to almost an all out run.
Nearing the bottom of this great staircase, her speed slowed down as her eyes laid upon a chromed-out black Mercedes XLR. Relief flooded over her as she saw her knight step out of the car and face her.
*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~* ~~~~*
Parking outside of a rundown looking building which so happened to be on the outskirts of Tokyo. Streetlights barely illuminated the old street. In the dim light Kagome was able to notice Akima’s Volkswagen Beetle parked outside, but is wasn’t in its usual spot. ‘That’s strange’
Looking up, the windows were all lit from the light inside on the top floor. ‘That’s weird, she never does that. She can’t afford to do that. What is going on?’ Not only that but Kagome knew that Akima loved her privacy. Nobody ever bothered her while she lived here. The building looked so horrible on the outside, but the inside of it was gorgeous and very spacious. Akima did not want anyone to know what was insider of her home because she wanted to keep the risk of theft to a minimum. ‘I hope that I’m worrying for nothing’
Kagome got out of the car grabbing only the keys and locking the doors to the car. She proceeded towards the building in an all out run. She was so terrified for her friend. Not knowing what could possibly be wrong or if something was wrong. The only thing that was on her mind was that she hoped that it wasn’t too late for Akima. ‘Please let everything be alright’
*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~* ~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*
Never in her life did Sango think Miroku’s smile was the one thing that she wanted to see at the moment. Forgetting herself she ran up to Miroku and put her arms around his neck and embraced him.
Miroku was speechless, he was even afraid to touch her. A short moment passed without her saying anything. Hesitantly he asked “My love?”
Her mind heard his voice but nothing really registered. Her hold on him tightened as she brought her lips to his ear.
The feel of her breasts on his person was a great sensation in itself. His mind was going into overdrive, let alone his hormones. The control that he had on his body was slipping. A hand of his was slowly moving upward, still being wary of its distance. Feeling her lips move closer, he unconsciously held his breath.
Only a tiny distance lay between Miroku’s sensitive ear and Sango’s tender lips. He felt a soft breath grace his ear. “Miro” At that moment, a lump formed in his throat and his pants felt really tight. He only hoped that she hadn’t noticed. “Please” Her words sounded as if she was in need of something that only he could give.
Miroku’s heart stopped beating. ‘I don’t think that I can control myself from taking her if she says one more word’ On her lower back was where his hand now rested. A sigh slipped from his lips as he relaxed. Wanting to stay like this similarly as he had in his fantasies.
“Take me away from here” With those words his heart leapt, but he was unsure of her meaning. Damn it, he wasn’t sure if he had heard her right.
“Sango?” His voice came out as a whisper. Moving his face to look as hers, he saw that she would not meet his gaze. Allowing his free hand to move her face so that he could look into her beautiful chocolate depths. Those depths held water in them and he did not know why. “What’s wrong? Did I do something?” Feeling slightly hurt, his hands fell limp to his sides.
Sango had failed to notice how he was reacting. To her, his words were turned into a soothing voice in her ears. Her mistake was discovered when she took a look into his eyes. There was sadness showing in his eyes. ‘Oh silly Miroku’
“Miro… When I was walking down, I could feel someone watching me. I was just frightened.” Sango made sure to look into his eyes and to keep her voice low as she spoke. “Let’s get outta here. Ok?” She put on a sincere smile and gently pulled him towards the vehicle.
A look of understanding was on his face followed by a tiny smirk ‘I do have a chance’ There was a strong light of hope for him and he wasn’t about to let this opportunity fly through the window.
*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~ ~~*~~~~*
On the bottom level of Akima’s place, Kagome got this eerie feeling. It was quiet, way too quiet for her taste. Besides for the stale smell, a strange odor was in the air, but now was not the time for her to be exploring for it. There was no light around and she surely wasn’t about to flip one on. ‘Thank Kami I have been here before. I at least know my way around for the most part’ As silently as she could, Kagome managed to get to the stairs.
‘This place is a mess’ Everything and anything was all over the floor.
Listening for any type of noise before she proceeded up. Finding none, which was extremely odd, she continued on. The further up she got, the more nervous she became. ‘This isn’t right. I shouldn’t be here. I should just call the police and have them check it out.’
Pausing midway, a light could be seen from the top. Kagome continued her mental argument. ‘Akima wouldn’t turn back now if she thought I was in some sort of trouble. I know that she needs me, which should be enough for me to go forward. But something is really wrong… I can just feel it.’ Looking up, she thought that she had heard a noise. ‘I need to have a plan if things are bad up there. Ummm…….’ A light went off inside her head. ‘Kouga!! He knows where she lives, as a matter of fact, he lives close by!’ She flipped out her phone and wrote him a quick text message which read “I NEED u ASAP come 2 Akima’s!”. While she was still messing with her phone, she might as well put the ringer on silent.
Putting her phone back on her hip, Kagome silenced her mind so that she could open all of her senses. Even though she was barely trained, she was still trained nonetheless. With two more steps to go, she began to hold her breath. Trying her best to be prepared for what she was about to get into. Hopefully she was getting all worked up for nothing.
Light had hit her face now that she was off of the stairs. The sight in front of her was beyond her wildest dreams. What she was witnessing was enough to make her fall back down the stairs. Luckily she caught a rail before tumbling down. Kagome now was holding onto the rail as a lifeline. Steadying herself with one hand on the rail and the other clutching her heart. She had to be brave for her friend and continue on. Putting one shaky leg in front of the other, Kagome soon found herself in the middle of crimson room. Originally this room was beige and navy blue, but too much blood now filled the room. Tears filled her eyes as she frantically searched for her friend and child. The foul smell was making her want to vomit, she didn’t even want to start thinking about the squishy feel underneath her shoes.
Blood was everywhere, one couldn’t tell where it began. ‘How many people does all this blood belong to?’ Looking at the stained couch, there were some darker spots on it. ‘Oh my God, a lot of this blood is old’ No longer caring to be cautious, Kagome ran to Akima’s room.
The door to the bedroom was off of its hinges. Light was emitting from the room, but there was not a single soul in there. Though there was no one there, Kagome froze at what she saw. The blankets on the bed were torn to shreds and were also covered in blood. She walked closer to make sure that Akima wasn’t mixed in with the messy blanket. Pulling back the covers her hand had touched some type of liquid.
‘What the fuck?!’ On her hand was a milky looking type substance. She was too familiar with what this was. “EWW!!!”
Immediately, her hand began rubbing the blanket in another spot to get the body fluid off of her. ‘Gross!’
‘That was disgusting’ Kagome turned to leave out of the room when something caught her eye.
‘What?’ Raising her hand to feel the marks that were made inside of the doorframe. ‘These are claw marks! What would another youkai be doing here?’ She knew full well that those marks couldn’t have been made by a kitsune. They were too deep and very thick in the wood. ‘I need to find them fast’
‘I need to check Shippo’s room’ Almost tripping off of a few fallen picture frames from her speed, Kagome managed to make her way into Shippo’s room. His room was not very bright, but at least there was enough light to see where things were.
Feeling her heart jump into her throat as she neared his crib, almost afraid of what she was to witness. ‘Kami if anything, please let him be alright’ To her surprise little Shippo lay in his crib sleeping. Grabbing an extra blanket she gently wrapped it around him to pick him up and take her with him.
A loud crash of glass shattering happened downstairs. Kagome jumped and let out a squeak of surprise. ‘Just great Kagome…’ Before she could even finish that thought, someone was running up the stairs rather quickly and clumsily.
She stopped her actions with Shippo and hurried to find a place of shelter. Searching frantically, she found none that weren’t too obvious. Footsteps were getting closer to where Kagome was.
Not giving anything a second thought, she fled underneath the crib. ‘Focus, Kagome, Focus’ Quickly she hid her scent and aura. Kagome knew how to do basic miko spells. ‘All thanks to Jii-chan’ Her heart was beating a mile a minute.
Before she knew it, there were two huge hairy brown feet full with dirty black claws in front of her. ‘He must be a bear youkai…. Ugh! Or a werewolf. I’m really pullin for the first one.’
The creature was sniffing around. Then he was silent. Kagome assumed he was trying to hear for her heartbeat or breathing. Calming herself she concentrated on her breathing and slowed her rapid heart rate. Hopefully it wouldn’t give her away because it was loud in her ears.
“BITCH where the fuck are you!” The beast roared.
‘What?! He knows that I’m here?’ Kagome almost began to panic, but she forced to hold her spell and keep with her controlled breathing despite the fact that she was scared beyond all belief.
“Bitch don’t make me start with the fuckin child again!” The voice was filled with anger and promise. Heavy footsteps could be heard moving towards the crib.
‘No!’ Kagome was about to move from her spot when she heard a rustling noise coming from the corner opposite from the crib.
“Pl-please…let him… let him be” Akima’s voice was weak as she was struggling to sit up. Because of the dim light Kagome could not see Akima clearly, but what she did see was surely not what she expected. Akima’s bruised face was swollen with dried blood and several cuts that held angry welts, her beautiful hair was now a tangled mess, and her body was wrapped up in a blanket to her shoulders, most likely hiding her beaten and abused body. Never in her life had Kagome thought that she would ever witness something like this. Her heart was screaming for her to help her friend once she looked into her eyes, but for once Kagome did not know what to do.
‘Akima must know I’m here. But why didn’t she say anything to me? What does she want me to do?’ Kagome caught the quick flicker of movement that Akima’s eyes made before she faced the beast. Kagome’s eyes widened ‘Shippo!’ Even though her friend was no longer looking at her, Kagome nodded her head to let her know that she understood.
“Why should I? You ungrateful bitch!” It stepped closer to Akima “You have been disobedient as of late, you need to be taught some fucking manners.
.:SLAP!!:.
On impact, Akima’s fragile body hit the blood stained floor with a crack. ‘I cant take this!’ A hand rose from where Akima’s body lay as if to stop Kagome from coming out of hiding. ‘But why?’ Kagome could feel her heart shattering into tiny pieces. Especially as she watched her friend force her tiny self up into her previous position. Her eyes filled with unshed tears.
“Did …” she stopped to clear her throat “Did you eat Bushi-sama?” Akima held her head down as she spoke “If not I can make something for you if you so please.”
“Now that’s better bitch!” Bushi turned his back on her “Make me something quick and bring it to the bedroom.”
Inwardly Kagome cringed. ‘That sick bastard!’
He walked to the doorway only to pause “I want to have something in my stomach as I have you on your knees.” letting a chuckle pass his lips “If you’re a good bitch, I might let cut our evening session short” Bushi then took his leave.
After allowing a few seconds to pass Akima started to move. Instead of leaving the room, she turned around to grab something. After obtaining the object that was searched for, she crawled towards Kagome. Pushing forward the object in question to her, she finally spoke. “Take good care of him..” she looked over her shoulder then back at Kagome “Thanks for coming, I knew I could rely you. I love him so much, you’re the only one I want him to be with” Her eyes were filled with unshed tears.
This was when Kagome finally noticed how weak Akima’s aura actually was. She reached out to touch her friend. The skin on the fox demon’s shoulder was cold to the touch. Obviously due to too much blood loss “Why Kimi? Why don’t you come with us?” Her voice, though a whisper, was cracking.
“I must go to distract him, I want you two to be safe. Take this with you and get outta here” She handed Kagome a purse, filled with something, and she stood on shaky legs to take her leave. “Besides, my body cannot last much longer from this abuse”
Tears ran down both of their faces as they silently said their final goodbyes. Kagome was clutching the carpet beneath her in a tight grip as her tears continued to fall.
“BITCH, HURRY THE FUCK UP!!” The beast named Bushi was apparently impatient. A faint sigh left Akima’s lips as she unconsciously made the blanket around her body tighter. With a slight limp, she slowly made her way to what was once her clean, beautiful bedroom.
Not wanting to wait any longer Kagome put the purse strap on her shoulder and came out of hiding. She was going to get Shippo out of this place no matter what.
*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~ *~~~~*
They had been riding around for some time now and the silence was killing Sango’s already frayed nerves.
“Can you please turn on some music or something?” The silence had finally gotten the best of her. “The sound of your breathing can only be so entertaining”
Turning his head slightly, he raised an eyebrow. “Why would I want to hear someone else sing when we can make our own music? Besides, you can make my breath make all sorts of noises if you now what you are doing”
“Miroku…” Sango had closed her eyes trying to fight the urge to slap him in the face.
“Yes, my love?” he said in an amused tone.
“Turn on the fucking radio.”
Exhaling, he gave up “As you wish” He played around with the stations and stopped when he didn’t find anything on that he liked. He cut on the cd that he had in his car and searched for a particular song.
Seconds had passed and Sango had no idea as to what this song could be. “Miroku” He glanced her way. “What is this?”
“Just listen” he smirked. “I’m sure that you will like it. Its American” With that said he restarted the song.
“Whateva you say Miroku” she began to relax after at least getting some type of music playing.
*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~ ~~~*~~~~*
Step one you say we need to talk
He walks you say sit down it's just a talk
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Kagome gently picked up Shippo so that he would not wake. ‘Whoa, he’s heavier than I thought’ Despite his weight, she carefully maneuvered him to her shoulder while her arm was supporting his bottom and legs. He shifted slightly but did not wake from the change of positions.
She waited until his nose picked up her scent. Kagome only hoped that he remembered her smell because if he started crying now, there would be no escaping from this house uninjured or possibly alive. Then everything Akima wanted would go to waste.
Shippo began to stir. His little nose turned to her neck and he inhaled. His little body tensed up, but he didn’t make a sound. After a short while he relaxed into a deep slumber once again. Now was the time for Kagome to make her move and it had to be fast. There was no protection that she could give if she was to be caught. Her fighting skills were not the best, hopefully she would be quick enough to escape unnoticed.
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
And you begin to wonder why you came
As stealthy as she could Kagome made her way into the living room. Before making her entire body visible in the brightly lit room, she looked around to see if it was clear for them to pass. Seeing that it was safe, she continued forward.
Her slow pace seemed to be getting her nowhere, but if she ran, Bushi would surely hear her. Then again if he were to pass by the door, he would surely see her. Midway through the room, male moaning could be heard from the bedroom.
‘Disgusting, that bastard should have his dick chopped off and be fucked in his ass with no lubricant’ She shook her head. ‘Well at least now I can move a little faster’
Guilty thoughts were going through her mind about Akima. ‘Why didn’t she say something to me earlier? When did this all happen? Where was I through all of this? I wish that I was here for her. She shouldn’t be going through this. What the fuck was I doing to be so blind to something like this?! How come this happened to her?! She is too sweet for all of this.’
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
Quickening her pace to the staircase Kagome’s grip on Shippo tightened. ‘Almost there’ The stairs were in her sight, but she looked to her left as she passed by the bedroom. ‘…….’ Words couldn’t form in her mind as she say the freakishly huge male was stroking himself in all of his glory in front of Akima while she sat on her knees naked as the day she was born facing him. She heard him say “Suck my dick, I want to feel the back of your fucking throat”
‘He’s sick!!.. But I cant do anything if I want Shippo to be safe’
Akima was now having her head shoved along his shaft and slammed to the base of it. Her gagging was sickening, but he still wouldn’t stop.
‘That twisted bastard!! He’s gonna pay! I’m coming Kimi’
Kagome stopped in her tracks when she saw Akima’s back. What had made Kagome decide against barging in was the large wound on Akima’s back. A thick slash mark was made crossing from the top of her left shoulder continuing to her right side on her lower back. Bushi had damaged her back so badly that you could see some of the bones of her spine. It was slightly old because there were dried blood along the wound but blood and puss was still oozing out of it.
‘That’s why she wants me to take Shippo’ Her friend would truly not live much longer. Kagome’s heart went out to her beloved friend. ‘Akima is truly strong’
Let him know that you know best
Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
She had no hand on the railing, forgetting where she was, Kagome was running down the stairs. No longer afraid of falling down the steps because she mastered it a long time ago. ‘Climbing those shrine steps finally became useful’
All that she now cared about was getting out of this place with Shippo.
‘I promise you Kimi, that I would take the best care of him as he were my own. I will never forget you.’
Tears were unconsciously falling out of her eyes as she thought about her friend.
‘That sick, twisted fucker will pay for what he has done to you-- this I can promise to see to it myself’
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
And pray to God he hears you
And I pray to God he hears you
Trying her best not to trip over the scattered objects to get to the door. But it was proving a little unsuccessful because of her visual perception.
‘Does he not believe in light down here?’
A tiny shimmer of light could be found. It was coming through the peephole of the front door. Using that as her focus she continued onward only preparing herself for the run to the car.
‘We are almost there. Its just a little further and then we will be home free!’
She was still being mindful of were she was stepping. Her feet were feeling their was for a clear path and only stepping over items if there was no path.
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
Kagome felt something sharp come in contact with the side of her leg. Unconsciously she jerked it in the opposite direction only to smash into something pointy.
“OW!” was yelled from her mouth. “Shit”
“WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?! BITCH, WHO THE FUCK IS DOWNSTAIRS?!!!” Bushi’s roar rang clear in her head.
She quickly realized the mistake that she had just made.
‘Its now or never’
Kagome was now trying her best to reach to door which led to their freedom. No longer caring about making loud noises. She only hoped that time was on her side and would let her escape.
As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
Carefully removing her leg from the object that penetrated it, she limped towards the door.
Blood was pouring from her wound but she no didn’t care about it at this moment. Her hand was almost in reach of the handle.
Kagome’s small hand almost touched the handle when she was suddenly forced backwards by something slamming into her stomach.
She had one thought ‘FUCK!!’
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came
Her hold on Shippo did not falter as she did her best to protect him while her head crashed into the wall with a sick crack. Shippo’s arm had been hanging from her shoulder and unfortunately it got smashed into the wall. Kagome’s body fell limp to the ground due to the impact.
She swallowed the vomit that threatened to come out but she did lean over to spit out blood that came from her teeth biting her tongue. Kagome had made no effort to try and comfort the crying Shippo, there was nothing that she could do for him right now.
Looking up in front of her, her dark eyes met a red pair. They held so much rage, not to mention his violent aura was unstable.
Kagome was once again afraid for her life. She had no clue what she could do to save them.
There was a painful throbbing at the back of her head that prevented her from thinking. What she did know is that she refused to have her body used and violated as he had done to her friend.
Bushi was now towering over her with his member still uncovered. Unconsciously her grip on Shippo tightened.
“What the fuck do you think your doing bitch?!”
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
