Chapter Eleven
Sango yawned while stretching as she woke up the next morning. She had bunked on the couch hoping it would be more comfortable than her bothers air mattress he had offered her. She was now wishing she would have taken him up on it. Her neck was killing her.
Sango sighed to herself when she heard the doorbell ring continuously. She jumped up from either fright or reflex, she didn’t know, but none the less went over and answered the door.
Miroku stood in the door frame with a worried expression on his face. “I heard the message you left on my cell phone. Sorry I couldn’t get here sooner.” he said as Sango let him in. “How’s Kagome?”
“She was unconscious the whole time.” she replied before her face filled with concern. “She was beat up pretty bad.”
Miroku shook his head. “I don’t believe how her father could do this to her. I mean, it’s his own daughter.”
“I know.” Sango replied. “Lucky for her InuYasha happened to come along and save her before it got any worse.”
“That reminds me. Where is InuYasha?” Miroku asked. “Surely he didn’t take off after he dropped Kagome off?”
Sango raised an eyebrow at him. “Are you kidding? I had to tell him to put Kagome on the couch before he would do it, and I still think this whole thing is his fault.” she explained.
Miroku looked at her with confusion. “He thinks this is his fault?” he asked as Sango nodded in response. “I guess I fail to see how this could be his fault.”
“He thinks if he had gotten her home before five like she had asked him then she wouldn’t have gotten hurt.” she explained.
“But then her suffering would have gone on longer.”
“That’s what I told him.” Sango replied. “I guess this is harder for him because he witnessed it.”
Miroku nodded. “So, where is our guilty filled friend?” he asked as he looked around the room trying to spot him.
“Well I was just about to check on them.” Sango said as she walked toward her bedroom. “You’re welcome to come too.”
Miroku gave her one of his perverted grins. “Them? Meaning InuYasha slept with Kagome?” he asked with a mischievous glint in his eyes.
Sango rolled her eyes. “Not the way you’re thinking.” she said, “He slept next to her because she wouldn’t let go.”
“Uh huh.” Miroku said as Sango opened her bedroom door to find InuYasha with Kagome protectively cradled against his chest. “Looks like your mission is just about complete.”
Sango nodded as she shut the door with a smile on her face. “I’m happy for Kagome.” she said. “She deserves someone like InuYasha.”
They both sat down on the couch and Miroku draped his arm around her shoulders. “So, how did shopping with Itsuka go yesterday?” he asked after a moment of silence.
“Surprisingly well.” Sango replied as she snuggled closer to her boyfriend. “I had no idea she had such great taste in clothes. I mean, the bridesmaid dresses were beautiful. I . . . I think we might actually get along.”
Miroku chuckled at her response. “See. All you had to do was spend a little quality time with her.”
“Yeah.” she said with a sigh, then she looked over at the clock. “I guess we should go wake them up. We don’t want to be late for school.”
Miroku removed his arm so that Sango could get up and then followed her back toward her bedroom. Sango walked over to InuYasha’s side of the bed and started to shake his free shoulder. “InuYasha. Hey InuYasha, wake up.” she said as she continued to shake him. “Come on you lazy lard. Get up.”
She heard InuYasha groan as he nuzzled deeper into his pillow while tightening his grip on Kagome, causing her to wake up.
Kagome blinked. She was still half asleep with she spotted Sango hovering over the far side of the bed. Kagome jumped a little, her disoriented state living her. “Oh Sango, you scared me!” she said, trying to caught her breath.
“Sorry. I wasn’t trying to scare you. It’s just that if you don’t get up, we’re going to be late for school.” she replied as Kagome nodded while rubbing the sleep out of her eyes. “Now all that’s left is this sleepyhead.”
Kagome looked down at InuYasha and noticed he still had his arm around her waist and she couldn’t help but blush when she realized they had been caught sleeping that way.
Miroku walked up beside Sango and smiled at Kagome. “Good morning Kagome. How are you feeling?” he greeted and Kagome couldn’t help but smile back.
“I’m okay.” she replied as her smile fell and she quickly looked away. They knew her secret. They knew about her father beating her and yet they still stay by her. She didn’t get it. She wanted to ask why, but she didn’t have enough guts to. She didn’t deserve friends like them.
Suddenly she felt the grip on her waist tighten. She looked down at InuYasha to find him wide awake gazing up at her with a concerned look on his face. She figured he could sense that she was troubled. “You alright?” he asked as he sat up next to her.
Kagome nodded as she forced a smile, hoping that InuYasha won’t question it. “Well, know that you’re both up, I suggest you get ready for school.” Sango piped up breaking InuYasha’s gaze on Kagome.
“Whaddya mean school?” he asked staring at Sango.
“Ya know, the place where we’ve going for the past eleven years.” Sango inquired. “We’re going to be late.”
“Smartass.” InuYasha muttered causing Kagome to giggle. “Besides, Kagome’s not going today.”
Kagome looked over at him surprised. “Why?” she managed to ask.
“Why do you think?” he asked her then looked over at Sango again. “She’s in no condition to go to school today.”
“She’s fine InuYasha,” Sango said. “and I think school is exactly what she needs right now. You know, to keep her mind from wondering off to things.”
“Well I think she should stay here and recover first.” InuYasha snapped back.
Sango was about to say something when Miroku butted in. “Why don’t we let Kagome decide what she wants to do? Since she is the one who would know if she was up to going to school or not.” he suggested as they all looked over toward Kagome.
Kagome didn’t know what to do. She wanted to go to school so she could make up her math test, but she didn’t want to upset InuYasha. “Um . . . I do have to make up a math test today.” she said quietly.
“Ah ha!” Sango said happily. “See, she wants to go to school.”
“Feh.” InuYasha replied. “Fine. Miroku let Sango drive your car. You’re coming with me.” Miroku looked over at him in confusion as did the girls.
“What are you going with this?” he asked as he reached into his pockets and drug out his keys. “Why do the girls have to drive in separate cars?”
“Because they’re going to school.” InuYasha replied. “We’re going to go visit Sesshomaru. Kagome’s going need a good lawyer to bring down her father.”
Kagome’s eyes widened at what InuYasha had said as she franticly shook her head. “No! I don’t want to bring down my father!” she cried out.
InuYasha sighed. “But Kagome--”
“No!”
InuYasha sighed again as he looked toward his friends. “Could you give us a couple of minutes?” he asked as Sango nodding in understanding and Miroku just grinned his perverted grin. Sango rolled her eyes as she dragged him out of the room, shutting the door behind her. “Listen Kagome, you’re going to need a lawyer.”
Kagome shook her head again. “No, I can’t take my father to court! We’ll lose and then I’ll be in so much more trouble than I’m already in.” Kagome explained.
“What makes you think we’re going to loose?” InuYasha asked as he looked at her in confusion. “We’re going to win and you’re going to be a free woman. You’ll never have to go through another beating again. Hell, if we go to court he could be put in jail for who knows how long.”
“I can’t.” Kagome whispered. “He’s all I got. My mother was an only child and my grandparents are dead. Father was an orphan. If we win, I’ll have no one.”
InuYasha pulled her against his chest. “You’ll have me.” he told her. “You’ll have Sango and Miroku. I promise you that you wouldn’t have no one.”
“But where would I live?” she asked. “If he goes to jail, then I’ll be out on the streets.”
“You can live with me.” he assured her. “My house is more than big enough for you. You’d have your own room, your own bathroom, everything you’d need.”
Kagome tried to picture her life without punishment. Waking up like she had that morning, feeling safe. Did she really deserve it though? Did she really deserve to live with InuYasha and be happy?
Kagome felt tears running down her face as she looked up at InuYasha. He was already looking at her. She smiled a small smile. She didn’t know if she deserved it, but she did know that she wanted it. She wanted to be happy. “Okay.” she said in a quiet voice.
InuYasha looked at her in surprise. “Okay then,” he said with a smile, “and I promise we won’t loose.”
Just as he was whipping off the tears on Kagome’s face, there was a knock on the door and Sango entered. “Alright, time’s up.” she said. “Kagome and I have to get ready for school.”
InuYasha nodded as he got up off the bed and walked out of the room. Sango looked over at Kagome and smiled. “Well, let’s see what I have in my closet. There’s got to be something in there that you can wear.” she said as she walked over to her closet and started digging through her clothes.

InuYasha walked over to Miroku, who was sitting on the sofa watching TV. “So, you ready to go?” he asked as Miroku turned the TV off.
“You really think Sesshomaru is going to represent Kagome?” he asked as he stood up ad walked around the couch. “I mean, do you think he has time for it?”
“That’s why we’re going to his office,” InuYasha replied, “and if he doesn’t have time, well, then he’s just going to have to make time know won’t he.
Miroku smiled. “Now I don’t even feel bad about skipping school.” he said. “I just have to see this.”
“Feh” InuYasha responded as Sango’s bedroom door opened and Sango walked out. She walked over to then and said, “Well gentlemen, I want to introduce you to the new Kagome Higurashi.”
Kagome timidly walked out of the bedroom wearing a pair of Sango’s jeans and a light blue long-sleeved shirt that hugged her curves.
InuYasha’s eyes widened at the sight of her. Sure he had seen her in clothes like that before, but the sight was still new for him. “So, how does she look guys?” Sango asked smiled at InuYasha reaction.
“You look gorgeous Kagome,” Miroku replied as he walked up to her and grabbed her right hand and kissed the back of it. “and I‘m not just saying it because you‘re wearing what you are. You look gorgeous in anything.”
InuYasha felt a growl at the base of his throat. Why was he growling at Miroku? He couldn’t be jealous, could he? No that couldn’t be it.
“How does she look InuYasha?” Miroku asked as he looked back at him.
InuYasha blushed at his slow response. “She looks fine.” he managed to say causing Kagome to smile.
Miroku and Sango exchanged glances, before Sango said, “Well, I think we should be heading to school Kagome.”
“Yeah and we better be getting over to Sesshomaru’s office.” InuYasha added. Miroku nodded as he tossed his keys over to Sango.
“Right.” Sango said as they all made there way over to the front door.
They all filed into the cars, Sango and Kagome in one and InuYasha and Miroku in the other. Then pulled out of the driveway heading in opposite directions.
Sango yawned while stretching as she woke up the next morning. She had bunked on the couch hoping it would be more comfortable than her bothers air mattress he had offered her. She was now wishing she would have taken him up on it. Her neck was killing her.
