"Hold on. Hello?" -pause- "Kouga?"
"What do you mean he wants to meet you?" InuYasha asked Kagome, enraged at the thought that her abusive ex randomly calls her, asking to meet somewhere.
"I told you," she said, annoyed that InuYasha was making a big deal out of nothing, "he wants to meet. He claims that he wants to apologize, that’s why he called. It’s already been what… 4 weeks since I left him and the city? And I’m sure he found a paper, I mean after my so-called best friend put a add of our engagement in the paper he had to find out eventually."
"I still can’t believe Sango and Miroku would do that," InuYasha growled.
Flashback
"Kagome," Rin called, "come here. You have to see this."
"What is it?" Kagome asked, walking into the living room.
"Listen to this," Rin said excitedly, turning the TiVo back on from where it was paused.

"Either way," InuYasha stated, "your not going to meet Kouga. Not after the last time you saw him."
"I know your worried," she said, trying to stay calm, "but nothing is going to happen. Its just lunch, he wants to talk. Nothing more."
"I said no," InuYasha said angrily, standing up to tower over her, hoping it would make her back down, "and I mean no damn it. He’s going to try to hurt you again. Do you want that to happen? Huh? Because if so then so be it. Clearly you like bruises." Kagome was pissed now, he didn’t have any right to talk to her like that.
"I don’t care if you said no," she said, backing him into a wall, intimidating him with her rage, "I’m going and that’s final. He wont lay a hand on me, and his bruises were no where near as many as the ones you left."
InuYasha smirked, poking her in the stomach where there was currently a bruise, "you weren’t complaining when I gave you your bruises. So I was right, you like them."
Kagome growled in frustration, grabbing her purse and car keys, "I’ll see you in a hour InuYasha. Don’t call me while I’m out either. I need to figure out what the hell he wants."
"So now she’s engaged," Miso said to himself, watching the news while hacking into a government website to find marriage documents, "they’re working backwards. But still, why can’t I find a document of them being married? There has to be something, people don’t just get married and hide the paperwork."
He was starting to get very frustrated.
"Found you," he said happily, "but wait. This isn’t possible. It says they’ve been married for 19 years. Kagome’s the youngest of the two, and she’s only 21. InuYasha’s 22, but that would mean they got married when they were toddlers. -pulls out cell phone- Hey boss, you’ll never guess what I found. Meet me at the place -pause- yeah. I found the certificate, and it’s a whammy."
Your little secret is out Taisho Family. Things are about to get a little more twisted in your perfect lives.
"Thank you for meeting me Kagome," Kouga said, "I know you probably would rather be doing something else. But I had to see you."
"Sure thing," she said with a small smile, "you sounded like it was important. So what’s up?"
Kouga looked embarrassed, he didn’t know how to tell her what he was about to say.
"Kagome," he said standing up just to kneel down in front of her, "I am a mess. Everything in my life has screwed up since you left. Please come home with me, lets be the way we once were. Remember, we were happy."
Kagome stared at him, "Kouga I can’t. I’m engaged now, I’ve got a life here, and a real job. We’re through, I’m sorry but I can’t just leave everything and go back."
"What do you mean?" he asked, "I thought that engagement was a joke. Just like when you joked about being married to that pretty boy. Kagome you’re coming home with me."
"No I’m not," she said standing up to leave, "good bye Kouga."
As she turned to walk out of the diner, he grabbed her arm, and the look in his eyes scared her. It reminded her of the last time he got like this.

"Kagome," Kouga said softly, kissing her neck as she walked out of the shower.
"What Kouga," she said with a giggle. He never acted like this, ‘why now?’ she thought to herself as he started to undo her robe.
"I wanna make love to you Kagome," he said huskily in her ear.
"Not here," she said, pushing him away from her, "this isn’t your place, or mine. It’s not right."
"Yura wont mind," he said, pushing the offending article away from Kagome’s body, "she soundproofs all the rooms."
Kagome tried not to give in to him as he moved her closer to the bed. She wasn’t comfortorable with this, it wasn’t their homes. It was someone else’s, and to her, it is rude to do this.
"Kouga," she said again, pushing him off her and standing up, "not here. I don’t think its right."
Kouga got mad; she was his girlfriend, this was something they were supposed to do. She wasn’t supposed to deny him anything.
"I don’t care if its not right," he said, grabbing her forcefully by the waist, pulling her to him until she knew she’d have bruises shaped like his hands tomorrow around her body, "you’re my girlfriend. You don’t deny me anything."
"Well I’m denying you this," she said angrily, trying to pull out of his grasp, making him grip her tighter. He didn’t even act like he cared when she squealed in pain from his grip.
"Kagome you will do this," he said angrily, on hand moving to the back of her neck, where he pulled her head back painfully by the hair so she would look at him, "and you’ll like it."
"No I wont," she ground out, finally getting away from him.
End Flashback
Kagome winced when Kouga pulled her to him, "do I scare you that much Kagome?"
She nodded, scared to say something. Is he going to hit me again? God I hope not. InuYasha I need you. Just as the thought crossed Kagome’s mind, Kouga released her.
"I’m sorry," he said, his head drooping, "I remember the day after I hit you before. The bruises on your body. The fear in your eyes. I knew you’d never trust me fully again. I guess things would’ve been better if you had broken up with me like you wanted. Good bye Kagome."
She stared at him in disbelief, watching the man as he walked out of the diner. No one seemed to recognize him, which in a way it was a good thing. Until she felt a hand on her shoulder.
"GET AWAY!" she shrieked. Looking up, she saw InuYasha, "Oh Yash!"
He was a little surprised as Kagome launched herself out of her chair, and into his arms. He held her as she cried, still not sure what was going on.
"C’mon Kagome," he said softly, pulling her to the door, "lets go home. Rin’ll take your car."
"You brought her?" Kagome asked, he nodded.
"She wanted to help me kill Kouga if he hurt you again," InuYasha explained.
Kagome was quiet the entire ride home. When they got to the house, InuYasha watched her as she walked up to their room and disappeared. When he tried to get in, he found the door locked.
"Let her be for a bit," Rin said with a smile, "she’s pretty shaken up. I’m not sure why, but whatever it is… give her some time.
She’ll open up when she’s ready."
InuYasha nodded, and sat on the floor. He would wait for her to come out if it took all day.
"Good job Miso," the boss said with a smirk, "this’ll make headlines. Now, how to go about it. We should wait a while. Until something big and profitable for the Taisho’s comes up, it’ll make a great scandal."
"There’s a charity ball being held next month," Miso said with a grin, "and as a reporter I got a invite. They want good coverage so they’re inviting all reporters."
"Good," the boss said, "go. Do whatever you have to do to get a story. This’ll see magazines like hell. Our best issue yet. Mrs. Taisho, you and your husband will be our marketing tool."
"She’s not speaking to anyone," InuYasha told Sango over the phone, "she locked herself up in our room and hasn’t come down in hours. I can hear her crying, but whenever I knock to try and get her to let me in. I hear the bathroom door shut and she hides in there. Sango please come over here, I need your help."
Sango assured him,
"You live about 4 blocks away," InuYasha said, "Why ten minutes?"
she said,
"Thank you," he said, "I don’t ask for advice much. Especially help. But this is serious. I guess I can’t help her with this."
Sango said, he heard the engine in her car start,
Ten Minutes Later
"Where’s your room?" Sango asked, barging into the house with a grocery bag in tow.
"Upstairs," InuYasha said, "last door on the left in the third floor."
Sango nodded, heading upstairs cursing rich people and their big houses.
"ITS BIG BECAUSE WE PUT A FLOOR BETWEEN FLUFFY’S ROOM AND MINE!" InuYasha yelled up at her as she was out of seeing range.
"Kagome?" Sango called, knocking on the door, "it’s Sango. Open up now or I’m breaking this door down."
Sango heard a sigh and then the door opened to reveal a tear stained Kagome.
"What happened?" Sango asked, following her friend into the room.
"I met with Kouga," Kagome said, "and I had a… I guess it’ll be called a flashback."
"About what?" Sango asked.
"Remember 3 years ago," Kagome said, "when you went to Tokyo to visit me and we went to my friends party and stayed the night… and I kinda left you there."
Sango nodded, "I only remember because of those bruises that as swipe left all over your body."
Kagome nodded, "well he got upset today because I wouldn’t go back with him. And well I relived that night. The pain of him hitting me, and worse. The pain that I couldn’t trust the man I loved. It scared me, I thought he was going to hit me again."
"I thought he only did it once," Sango said angrily, lowering her eyes, "you said it was just that one time."
"He never remembers doing it," Kagome explains, "its like every time he gets that angry he gets violent then passes out. The last time was about a year ago, we got into a fight and it wasn’t bad. I just had a bruise on my arm, it wasn’t even from him I bet. As clumsy as I can be I probably walked into something."
"Kagome why did you let him treat you that way?" Sango asked angrily, her temper rising, "what happened to the fearless girl from high school? You used to be meaner than me."
"I loved him Sango," Kagome said softly, her eyes tearing up again, "and I thought he loved me. It was stupid, I know that. But… he was always so sweet after he woke up. It only happened a few times, and when it did, he’d pass out. And when he’d wake up, he’d see my fear, or the bruises, and he’d soften up. You know the first time we made love it was because he wanted to make it better, he kissed the pain away."
Sango sighed, hugging her friend, "Kagome just because a man was good in bed doesn’t mean he was right to do that. He beat you Kagome. You should have had him arrested for it."
"I know," Kagome said with a sob, "but its over now. I’m better, sort of. I’m with InuYasha and he doesn’t hit me. Although I could do without the bruises."
"What bruises," Sango asked, her eyes narrowing.
"You know," Kagome said, blushing, "I’d bruise when we… and he‘d…"
Sango started laughing when Kagome pulled her shirt up to reveal a dozen little bruises all over her abdomen.
"He sunk his teeth in some of these," Sango said with a giggle, examining her friend closely, "be careful. He’s name after a dog, he might have rabies."
Kagome laughed, but eyed the bag lying on the floor, "what’s in the bag?"
"Its my ‘cheer up Kagome kit’," Sango said with a grin.
"Chocolate?" Kagome asked hopefully.
"With whip cream, fresh strawberries and sprinkles," Sango said with a grin.
"You brought spoons right?" Kagome asked with a grin.
"Of course," Sango giggled, pulling out a carton of chocolate ice cream and all the little ingredients.
With InuYasha
"What the hell is going on up there?" he asked, "Sango’s been up there almost a hour. I’m going to check on them."
Just as InuYasha got to the landing, the bedroom door swung open to reveal Kagome and Sango, both grinning from eye to eye, a scary glint in their eyes.
"I’m going home," Sango said with a grin, "I need to spend some time with my husband."
"I feel the same way," Kagome said, "wait… I don’t have one yet… yes I do. INUYASHA!"
He was scared as Sango ran down the stairs and Kagome launched herself at him.
"What the hell," he asked, pulling Kagome away as she started kissing his neck, "Kagome are you drunk?"
"NO!" she said with a grin, "just happy to see you. Aren’t you happy to see me Yash?"
"Yeah," he said slowly, allowing her to pull him into their room. (a.n. might not have said this before, they finally sharing a room.)
"Good," Kagome giggled, pushing InuYasha on to the bed, "because if you weren’t then I’d have to make you happy."
he thought, almost instantly realizing what it was. As Kagome moved his head to the side to kiss his neck, he spotted a carton of ice cream in the trash and a bottle of chocolate syrup on the desk. Just as he was going to push Kagome off him, not wanting to be taken advantage of when she wasn’t even herself, InuYasha felt Kagome stiffen up, then collapse against him. When he looked at her, he realized she fell asleep, face buried in his neck. I guess it could be worse. InuYasha sighed, and rolled them over so he could wrap her in his arms, and fell asleep himself.
A.N. okay, this chapter is a little longer than usual. i hope you enjoyed it. review and tell me if you did. if you dont like it... tell me anyway. as long as you don't flame me its all good!
