Author's Notes: This chapter is evil, pure evil and not pretty. Just thought I'd warn you.

Kiddies - do not read.

-squeak-

Kagome winced, glaring at the door hinges for a second before poking her head out of her room. Listening for sounds from downstairs, she heard nothing that resembled Judd's voice. So far she could only hear uncle Dai and Alexei, and they were speaking English so fluently that she could hardly pick up on a word here and there.

Stepping from her room, she headed downstairs, dressed in some sweats and a tank top that she'd grabbed after waking up in the skimpy outfit from the previous night. Reaching the ground floor, she headed to the kitchen and smiled at the view there. Making some eggs, pancakes and orange juice, Alexei and Dai laughed at some joke just then.

"Morning!"

"Cara! Good morning," Alexei smiled and motioned towards the table. "Take a seat."

"This looks great," Kagome slipped into her normal place and smiled.

Everything seemed so normal, it was like the night before hadn't happened. Only it had. Shivering at the memory, she forced thoughts of it into the back of her mind and concentrating on enjoying her breakfast. To her surprise, although smiling and seemingly up-beat, neither Alexei nor Daisuke spoke much during breakfast.

Halfway through the meal, the doorbell rang and Daisuke got up to answer the door. Frowning in confusion, she looked to Alexei who smiled sadly and patted her hand, signaling for her to finish her breakfast. Once her plate was cleared, she was escorted into the living room by her uncle, who introduced her to a man named Asakura Shinji.

"Nice to meet you Asakura-san," bowing politely, she was shocked to hear the man tsk.

"Now that won't do at all," he reached forward and grabbed her wrists, lifted before her courteously, and yanked her towards him. His voice was normal but for some reason scary, sending a chill down her spine as he explained, "This is how you greet a man."

And then he promptly crushed his lips to hers.

------------------------------------------------------------ ----

"How sick is Kagome-sama's mother Inuyasha?"

Miroku watched the hanyou kicking his feet in the stream's water.

"She hasn't got much time left," Inuyasha admitted, "Some disease from the future, nothing I've smelled before but she overheard her mother say she only had a few months left."

"Poor Kagome," Sango sighed, petting Kirara's back.

"Woohoo! This water's great!"

Shippo scrambled out, ran over to a nearby rock and did a dive off it.

The others watched his antics with a smile, even Inuyasha mustered a smirk, his mind still far away, with the girl across the well.

"She'll be all right Inuyasha, the good thing is that her family has joined together to help. Didn't she say her uncle was staying with them? Perhaps he could gradually be told of her secret so that she may come back to the quest later. It is perfectly understandable for her to need time at home right now."

"Feh, yeah, I'm not mad 'cause she left," Inuyasha agreed.

"What's the matter then?" Sango turned her head to see him better.

"The well," Inuyasha shrugged, "I'm still not sure..."

"That she won't seal it," Miroku finished for him, "You must trust Kagome-sama's word, she will not keep you away, she'll probably need you now more than ever."

"Feh," Inuyasha nodded, mumbling to himself, "That's what I'm afraid of."

------------------------------------------------------------- ---

"Kagome!"

Souta ran over and hugged his sister, "I've missed you!"

"Hey brat, I've missed you too," Kagome kneeled and held him close.

While he told her of all the things he'd done when she was gone, Kagome leaned against the shrine steps and sighed, going over the events of that morning. It was shocking, not only that, disgusting and terrifying, what they were making her do. She'd kissed that man countless times, even after she'd lost her breakfast from the nasty cologne he wore. She'd brushed her teeth, and been ordered to do it again.

She shuddered, thinking of the girl, Miwa, that they'd presented her to. They were the same height, but Miwa was older, ten years older, and would be handling the harder part of the job.

"Everything ok?" Souta asked, realizing she wasn't listening.

"Hai, uncle Dai's got a girlfriend," Kagome muttered, "Name's Miwa, real nice."

"Ohh... and how's Inuyasha?" Souta teased, "Did he kiss you and promise to never let you go?"

"NO!"

Kagome shuddered again, thinking of the men who had kissed her. Taking a deep, calming breath, she sighed, "No, Inuyasha wouldn't do that, he's in love with Kikyo."

"He can't be in love with a dead woman," Souta shook his head, "He'll come around. I mean he's a hanyou, not an idiot."

"You think?" Kagome smiled at her little brother, kissing the top of his head.

Instead of commenting negatively as he would have done before, he leaned back against her and smiled. "I talked to Mama on tuesday, she says she's feeling better, the treatment's helping."

"That's great," Kagome felt tears sting her eyes but blinked them back, "What else did she say?"

"That L.A. is just as noisy as Tokyo, but the subway system is much smaller and men don't grope you on it." Souta and Kagome both giggled.

"And that she's already bought us each a souvenir and that uncle Dai's friends are really nice," Souta yawned. "We went to sleep at five in the morning today."

"You need a nap then," Kagome nudged him to stand and grabbed his bag, "Come on."

"So uncle's got a girlfriend, think she'll be around much?" Souta dragged a bit, sleepiness catching up to him.

"Oh she'll be around," Kagome muttered, "She'll be around quite a lot actually."

Reaching the top of the stairs, they reached the house, slipped off their shoes, and dropped his bag beside the door. "I'm taking a nap ok?"

"Sure thing," Kagome was heading into the living room when Shinji and Dai came out.

"Souta! Guess what man?" Daisuke cheered.

"What?"

Dai grinned, "You know that camp you wanted to go to, but couldn't because it was all booked?"

"Yeah..." Souta's eyes widened in anticipation. "The really cool one that's over in Yokohama?"

"Hai, that one, I pulled some strings and got you a place! You can go tomorrow!"

"No WAY!" Souta's energy got a momentary boost as he cheered, yelled, and skipped around the house, finally giving both Dai and Kagome big hugs. "This is so awesome uncle Dai, you're the best!"

[No he's not!]

Kagome wanted to scream, she wanted to kick them man out and his friends with him. He was a bad man, a very, very bad man and now she'd be all alone with him.

"For how long will he be there?" She asked, glad her voice stayed neutral.

"There's still a month and a half left, if your mom's treatments do get pushed back a little you could stay until its over," Dai shrugged, "Or you can come whenever you like, just call."

"Sounds great!" Souta beamed, clapped his hands and rushed up to his room. "I've got to get my stuff!"

Daisuke yelled at his retreating back, "I can't take you but Alexei can, is that ok?"

"As long as I get there!" Souta slammed his door shut.

"Ready for the next lesson?" Shinji cut into Kagome's thoughts just then.

"N-Yes," Kagome saw her uncle's frown and nodded, a thick lump forming in her throat, "Yeah, what's next?"

----------------------------------------------------------- -----

"NO! No! Stop it!"

Kagome struggled against the hands holding her down, "Don't! I can't!"

"Stop screaming Kagome!"

"No!"

"Shut up girl!"

"Screw you!"

-slap-

"Hey!" Alexei's angry voice brought the others up. "How dare you? Get your hands off her Asakura! Get the fuck out! Both of you!"

"She has to..."

"Look at her Daisuke, she's terrified and you didn't tell her why this is happening, she's just a seventeen year old kid. Damnit she's your niece!" Alexei marched over and ordered them out. "Go check on Souta, last I saw he was sleeping with his headphones on but if he heard this, the whole plan will be ruined."

"Will you calm her down?" Daisuke asked, shaking his head at the girl.

"Get out!"

Once the door was shut behind them, Alexei turned to the half-dressed, terrified girl before him and sighed. "Poor little Kagome, you shouldn't be involved in this."

"What is this? Why is he making me do this?" Kagome's hands trembled as she fumbled with the buttons on her shirt.

"Let me help," Gently moving her hands away, Alexei closed her shirt for her and checked her face. "He controlled himself, this won't leave a bruise, but you have to be careful Kagome, he's not the type of man who'll take being insulted easily and he's here to keep us in line."

"Why?" Kagome asked, taking his hand and allowing him to lead her to an old sofa at the back of the room where they could sit. "What's going on?"

"Daisuke didn't tell you much this morning, at least, he didn't explain very well," Alexei cleared his throat and started.

"Taikisha is a large business, international, with a very powerful, very rich family at the head. As you know, your uncle Dai was hired by them five years ago and sent to L.A. to handle the financial affairs for one of the smaller offices there. About six months ago, the company owner's grandson, a guy about our age, went to L.A. and became friends with Dai. Since he was on vacation, this guy invited your uncle to join him and they went off to Las Vegas for a weekend."

Kagome nodded, waiting for him to continue.

"Now the day before they were supposed to leave, a large sum came into Dai's care, being the financial director of that branch and all. But Dai, seeing how he was going to Vegas with a rich, important man, decided to 'borrow' some of that cash."

"Oh no," Kagome's eyes widened in understanding, "He has to pay them back."

"Yes, but not in a monetary way," Alexei explained, "He lost a huge sum and got caught, so they sent him back to Japan to work as a spy."

"A spy?" Kagome gaped, "My uncle's a spy?"

"Sort of," Alexei nodded, "You see, there's been rumors that Kenriju, Taikisha's biggest rival in the business world, is having trouble with their current leadership. There are three candidates for the top spot and one of them is willing to sell out a good part of the company to Taikisha, if he's given a good compensation for it of course, which he will be. So Daisuke was told to dig up as much dirt as he could on the other two men."

"How?"

"It didn't matter what methods he used, not to the company," Alexei sighed, "But you see, the guy Daisuke thought he'd made friends with saw your picture, and to make things worse, suggested the current scenario that we are in."

"What about you? Why are you involved?" Kagome asked quietly.

"Because I too, am a spy," Alexei shrugged, "I answer to Taikisha Hotohori, the company founder and grandfather to Wufei, Daisuke's 'so-called-friend' and he saw your picture as well."

Kagome gulped, "D-Did he?"

"Hai, and he does not want you harmed," Alexei patted her hand, "So Daisuke was told that I also needed to redeem myself to the family by helping, but I am actually here to make sure you are not hurt in these endeavors."

"So I have to..?"

"Seduce the men, be charming, gracious, flirty, and get them to drink or take whatever we tell you," Alexei shrugged, "Once they are taken care of by Miwa, your job is done."

"Miwa, what about her?" Kagome couldn't help but ask.

"Be glad she's here little one, she's the one who'll be doing the real dirty work," Alexei frowned, "But you'll learn about that soon enough. She too, works for us, but she's always had the same job."

"Do I have to let them grope me?" Kagome asked quietly.

"If that's what's needed for the man to cooperate, I'm afraid so, yes," Alexei felt her shudder beside him and wrapped an arm about her shoulder. "Don't worry, it shouldn't take long, only four or five parties, max."

"I don't want to do this," Kagome whispered, "Can't you do anything to help?"

"I have to do as told cara," with a sigh, Alexei hesitated a moment before explaining one last fact. "Hotohori-sama would not harm your family, but he is no longer head of the company, his son took over a few years ago and Nakago is a very forceful man Kagome. He will do anything to get what he wants."

"Is uncle Daisuke in danger?" Kagome asked quietly

"Not only Daisuke I'm afraid," Alexei closed his eyes for a second and shook his head before looking at her again. "Your mother is sick ne-?"

"Yeah," Kagome nodded, a vice-like grip settling over her stomach in dread, "Why?"

"Her treatments are very expensive, too expensive for Daisuke to pay," Alexei admitted, "If Nakago doesn't get what he needs, he will take away all of Daisuke's monetary holdings, and keep anyone who might help him at bay, as punishment."

"Oh no," Kagome lowered her head into her hands. "So if we don't do this fast Mama will have to come home and stop the treatment."

"I'm afraid so," Alexei rubbed her back soothingly, understanding only too well the pressure the girl suddenly found herself under.

Hearing the sound of approaching footsteps, Alexei released her and stood. Shinji opened the door without knocking, glaring at the man there, "Message for you at the door, Daisuke took the kid out for ice cream."

"Thanks," glancing over his shoulder at Kagome, Alexei gave her a wink and a soft smile before leaving.

"Well, shall we continue?"

Kagome glared as he shut the door, "I get it now, I'll behave."

"Good, because Daisuke just got invited to another party tonight, and guess who gets to tag along?" Shinji's eyes sparkled wickedly.

"Like I need to guess," Kagome sighed, forcing herself to stay where she was while he came over, fighting down the urge to cower before the man looming over her.

"Very good, most men don't like frightened little girls," Shinji gave a cold smirk. "Now what do you do if a man tries this?"

The sound of cloth tearing sounded through the room and Kagome bit her cheek from flinching, hands trembling while she prayed for help.

[Kami please, please let this end soon!]

----------------------------------------------------------- -----

"Remember, be nice, slip the powder in his drink and get him to come out with you," Daisuke mumbled into Kagome's ear, slipping a hand into the back of her skirt and leaving a card there. "That's the room key, it's the one two doors down the hall on your left. Get him there not long after he's taken the drink."

"Fine," Kagome knocked on the hotel room door and was surprised when it opened immediately.

"Higurashi! How are ya?"

A half-drunk man greeted him eagerly, mouth dropping at the girl beside him. "Who's the babe?"

"No one you'll remember tomorrow by the smell of ya," Daisuke joked, "How many have you had so far Tasuki?"

"Ah, not so many as to forget a bod like that!"

Forcing a cool smile to her lips, Kagome fought back the terror rushing through her as her uncle pushed her into the room ahead of him. There were a lot of businessmen like before, but this time they were not just talking and joking. Couples made out around the room, almost like a teen party, only much heavier activities were obviously taking place here.

Tripping over a girl's discarded shoe, Kagome stumbled, crashed into a man and immediately apologized. "Sumimasen!"

There was a low chuckle and the arms that had caught her pulled her closer, "Like I mind catching a doll like you? You can fall over me any time babe."

"Enishi! Just the man I was looking forward to talking to," Daisuke's eyes met Kagome's, signaling the man as her target. "I see you've met my newest pet?"

"Indeed, and what's your name kitten?" Enishi still held her close, seemingly undisturbed by the fact that she was there with Daisuke.

"Kagome," she answered, fighting down the panic threatening to send her running from the room. It sounded easy enough, to seduce a man, spike his drink and take him out of the room, but at the moment it seemed impossible.

This man was nowhere near disgusting, like the previous one had been, he all but reeked of sexuality. Tall, broad shouldered with fair skin and aqua colored eyes, he had a dimple in his chin and large, strong hands, which were currently very low on her hips. Fingers splayed widely, he was practically groping her, just an inch more and he'd be as bad as Miroku.

"How about a drink kitty?" He glanced at Dai, "You don't mind my stealing her do you?"

"Go ahead, I'm looking forward to a visit with Sele to be honest, she here yet?" Daisuke glanced around for the woman Kagome recognized from his party the night before.

"Balcony," Enishi pointed and led Kagome towards the mini bar.

"So gorgeous, you new to these parties?" He leered, staring down the bandanna tied over her breasts.

It was exceedingly daring, Shinji had folded it into a triangle, rolled it a little and tied it over her breasts, pushing it down to nearly the tips of them. Her back was completely bare, she had to go bra-less, and she wore another tight little skirt, this one red, to set off the black bandanna. She wore shiny heels and her hair up in a clip, a few curled strands falling loosely over her shoulders. No one would guess she was barely seventeen. She could easily pass for a woman of twenty-five.

After grabbing a couple of beers, they headed over to a corner of the room where they could talk.

"I haven't been to these before, no," Kagome shrugged, "You?"

"Host them all the time," Enishi took a sip of his beer and stepped closer, caging her between the wall and his body.

"Do you work with all these people then?" Kagome took his beer from his hand and pointed out the others behind him. "That guy over there was hitting on me earlier, he's staring now."

"What guy?" Turning, Enishi called out to Tasuki.

Taking the chance while he was distracted, Kagome unclipped the ring Shinji gave her and dropped the powder into it. Closing the ring just in time, she smiled, shaking the bottle a little when Enishi turned.

"No no kitty, you don't need to mix beer," He took it from her and was about to lift it to his lips when Kagome smiled wickedly, sending a rush of blood straight to his groin.

"How about if I do this?" Raising her own bottle, Kagome smacked it down on the top of his, causing the beer to rush up, about to spill.

Enishi's eyes widened but he quickly put his lips to the top and chugged down the foam and then the whole beer in one long swig. Laughing and wiping off his lips, he glared at her and grabbing her hand, did the same to hers.

"Bottoms up babe!"

With a gasp, Kagome lifted the beer to her lips but wasn't fast enough and a stream of foam landed on her chin and chest, dripping down to her shirt. Drinking as much as she could, she struggled not to gag with the nasty flavor and stopped once the beer had settled enough to not spill.

"Hey! I don't drink much beer buster, that wasn't nice," Kagome looked down at her foamy breasts and sighed, "Great, now I need a towel."

"Oh, I don't think so," He grinned, lowered his head and licked the drop of foam off her chin. She heard a thump on the carpeted floor and realized he'd dropped his empty bottle.

Smirking at her sharp intake of breath, he continued on his way down, licking at the foam on her chest, his hands holding her hips tightly, lower body pressing against hers. Finding her too short for him, he lowered his hands, gripped her butt, and lifted her off the ground.

Kagome gasped, her hands coming up to grip his arms, dropping her own beer while her feet settled against the wall for some type of hold. With his body crushing hers into the wall, she felt him grinding into her and felt she'd panic for a second before his voice reached her again.

"We've got to get out of here," His husky timbre sent a shiver down her spine.

Before she could reply, he was crushing his lips to hers, tongue shoving its way into her mouth and roaming freely. From the corner of her eye, Kagome saw Daisuke heading out and knew she had to get him to the other room soon.

Breaking off the kiss, she lifted her head and whispered breathlessly into his ear, "I have a key."

"Lead the way," Sliding her down to the floor again, he kept and arm around her waist and followed her down the hall, smirking when she pulled the key from her skirt. "I like that."

"Its handy," Kagome teased, struggling with the door, almost yelping when his hands cupped her beneath the bandanna. "None of that till we're inside."

"Hmm... but they're so nice," Enishi squeezed, practically shoving her inside when the door opened.

Slamming it shut behind them, he hardly gave her time to think before he had her off the ground again, holding her up with one arm at her back, the other pulling her leg around his waist. When she'd lifted them around him, he raised his hand and tugged at the bandanna. Getting the garment undone as he reached the bed, he crawled onto it, lay her down and removed the cloth.

"I'm so damned hot," he whispered, "And sleepy."

"Sleepy?" Kagome whispered, the hope in her voice hardly filtering in his mind.

"Yeah," kissing along her chest, he'd only just settled his mouth over her breast when a shudder went through him and his body went slack over hers with a slight moan.

"Oh kami," Struggling to get him off, Kagome allowed her emotions to take over again and had tears streaming down her cheeks, ruining her carefully done make up when Daisuke came over and helped removed the man's heavy body from hers.

Scrambling off the bed, Kagome grabbed the bandanna, ran into the bathroom and with shaky hands, attempted to put it on again. Failing miserably in her attempts, she gave up and stepped back, walking into the wall and sliding down along it.

Covering her mouth with both hands to stifle her sobs, she huddled in the corner of the bathroom, humiliated and terrified beyond anything she'd ever felt before. That's how her uncle found her moments later.

Seeing her small body trembling on the ground brought tears to his own eyes, the guilt for what he'd had to force her into nearly overwhelmed Daisuke. Grabbing a towel, he gently wrapped it around her shoulders, smiling apologetically down at her when she gasped and raised her head. Helping her stand, he watched her wrap the towel around herself and shiver again. Draping his jacket over her shoulders, he led her to the doorway and had her stand before him.

"You have to watch, you have to know what Miwa's doing to him because you'll be seeing him at parties again and he'll vaguely remember snippets of what happens." Daisuke whispered into her ear.

[I don't want to watch!]

Kagome closed her eyes, wishing she could cover her ears and block out the man's groaning, the dirty sounds of flesh on flesh, Miwa's cries and whispered words and later, the thumping of the headboard on the wall.

[I wish Inuyasha had grabbed me and forbidden me to come back! If he ever found out about this he'd kill them! He'd lose control, transform into a full youkai, kill them all... and probably me too.]

Finally the couple screamed in pleasure, Kagome opened her eyes to see Miwa leaning forward and placing kisses along Enishi's slack lips and resting her head above his heart.

She remained there, whispering softly, her hand lifting a necklace around her neck to his chest and Kagome realized it had a microphone. She asked him silly questions at first, then work questions, and then started milking him for information about a certain co-worker.

Overall the questioning took almost an hour, her lover lay passively on the bed, seeming in a stupor, probably too drugged up to realize what was going on. Once they had all the information they wanted, Daisuke nodded to Miwa, who smiled, touched the back of the necklace and lifted herself over the man again.

Keeping him busy with a long kiss, she gave Kagome and Daisuke the opportunity to walk by and leave the room. Once out in the living room, Dai dropped some bills onto Miwa's dress, had Kagome write up a note for Enishi and finally led her out of the room, the last thing she heard was the man screaming her nickname.

The ride home seemed endless, neither spoke. Once they'd arrived, Kagome rushed upstairs and into the bathroom, locking everyone out. It was late, but she needed a shower, she could smell his cologne on her. It had haunted her on the ride home.

Turning on the hot water, she stepped into the shower, disregarding the heat, standing beneath the flowing water, remembering her mother's soft voice explaining how hot water helped clean better. The heat steadily grew, but she ignored it, grabbing up the soap and scrubbing diligently at the places he'd touched. Her hands trembled, she realized vaguely her skin hurt, the water burned, the soap slipped from her hands and fell on her foot, the pain breaking through the dullness that had settled over her.

With a sob, she turned the cold water on, shut off the hot and sank down to the floor, huddling in the middle of the stall. Trembling, aching, nauseous, she sat with her eyes closed and fought back tears again. Resting her head on her knees, she forced herself to think of anything other than what she'd just experienced.

Remembering the last time she'd huddled in the bathroom like this, her mind drifted back, way back, to a person she'd lost long ago. She went back to a house near the beach, to a room, sunny, warm, and a voice - a lullaby.

Outside the bathroom Alexei and Daisuke sat beside the door, her soft, mournful voice reaching them despite the shower's noise. Alexei closed his eyes, also forcing away thoughts of her ordeal to focus on the sweet, nearly childish voice singing. Daisuke recognized the song, remembered the person who'd written it, and his guilt intensified as he remembered a promise made long ago.

And now, how that cruelly promise had been broken.

-dodges flying objects-

Ack, don't hate me! This is the one of the worst chapters (In terms on content) of the story, but it was crucial. I know the plot has turned dark and cruel. This is an angst fic, that in itself should warn you. So should the elevated rating and the warning at the beginning of the chapter.

Next chapter, Inuyasha comes to the future. Will he find out about Kagome's uncle?

Leave a review and tell me how evil I am, go ahead, I've learned to ignore flames however so if you're gonna b-tch me out, well, if you really feel you need to...

Ja!
