Disclaimer - I do not and never will own InuYasha and co. they belong to Rumiko Takahashi sensei.

 

For the rest of the weekend the family tiptoed around Sesshoumaru, doing what he wanted and leaving him alone, Kaida couldn't wait for Monday to come around so she could escape. So far, Sesshoumaru had lashed out at both of them at least twice and Kaida's wound directly above her eye still refused to heal.

 

InuYasha left the house at around midnight waiting for Kaida to hurry up.

 

“God, what took you so long?” InuYasha was anxious to leave and his sister was a few minutes late sneaking out.

 

“Idiot, my room is right by his. I have it a little harder than you.” By that time, InuYasha was halfway across the street with his sister following behind him. “I kinda feel sorry for Kagura though, she's gonna have to deal with him.”

 

“Feh, she knew what she was getting into. Besides, it ain't like he's five. He can take care of himself.” InuYasha's eyes darted around making sure they weren't seen.

 

“Still…” Kaida new her brother would be waking up soon so she began walking faster, “Is leaving a good idea?”

 

“Look, you are what got us into this mess in the first place. I'll stay at Kagome's place, you stay with Kouga, and by the time he calms down, we'll be long gone.”

 

“He does tend to hold grudges, huh?” InuYasha nodded his head and looked towards the sky.

 

“If we run, we should be able to make it. Unless you feel you'll get left behind again.” He smirked.

 

“You're on.” The two ran at an inhuman speed to Kouga's house and InuYasha, who beat his sister by a couple seconds knocked on the door before running off to Kagome's.

 

Kaida stood outside of Kouga's house free shivering by the time the door opened. “Who the fuck… Oh, Kaida? What are you doing here?”

 

“It's a freakin' long story.” She whispered, eyes darting around. “We had to get out of the house before Sesshoumaru went crazy. So I came here.” She clutched a strap of her backpack tight as Kouga opened the door wider and invited her in.

 

InuYasha saw Sesshoumaru on his run to Kagome's house. He was hard to miss though. The dog demon was in his true form and looked as if he was hunting. InuYasha ran faster in attempt to race his brother to safety. InuYasha didn't waste time with the door, and instead jumped up the tree and opened the window into his girlfriend's house.

 

InuYasha snuck in silently and closed the window. He caught a glimpse of Kagome asleep on her bed so he slipped in behind her and fell asleep.

 

An alarm clock awoke Kaida from her restless sleep and she slowly opened her eyes and stared blankly at the clock. 4:26 shone in bright neon red numbers. Blankets rustled and Kaida felt the other side of the bed move as Kouga got out of bed. Kaida groaned and slowly slid out of the covers and onto the cold wooden floor.

 

“Sorry to wake you.” Kouga hugged her close to him and gently kissed her forehead. Kaida smiled and headed towards the bathroom to take a warm shower and get ready for school as her mate prepared to leave for work.

 

“Do you need a ride to school?” Kouga asked as she came out of the bathroom dressed

 

“No, I can walk.”

 

“Fine,” Kouga kissed her forehead. “I'll pick you up afterwards then.”

 

“'kay, I'll see you later.” Kaida watched as Kouga left the house. She found her backpack and put her hair up in a ponytail before walking outside and began the walk to her school, she knew it was too early, but walking around cleared her head.

 

Sesshoumaru watched his sister head to school. He pulled his car up next to her and told her to get in. “No, I'm almost there.”

 

“You're thirty minutes away from school, I'll drop you off.” Sesshoumaru opened the door and grabbed at her wrist, pulling her in. He made sure her wrist was poisoned before closing the door and buckling her up. He tossed her the anti-venom and watched her struggle to open in as she attempted not to scream out in pain. The poison was trickling through her veins by the time Sesshoumaru arrived at her school. He looked at her and quickly applied the anti-venom, she looked extremely pale, but fine otherwise. He helped her out and handed her her backpack.

 

It took her a while to regain her balance when she was on her feet, but once she regained composure she walked up to the school, thankful to see the doors open, and she walked to the nurses' office clutching her wrist, hoping to wrap it.

 

Kagome woke up to the alarm going off only to find an arm around her. At first she freaked out until she turned around and saw her boyfriend asleep beside her. She quickly got out of bed and took a shower before cooking breakfast and going up to wake him.

 

The clock showed eight thirty by the time InuYasha woke up and went downstairs in search of Kagome. She was sitting in front of a computer typing away. “You want any coffee?” She didn't need to turn around to know that he was there.

 

“Feh, you know I hate coffee, it has to strong of a smell, and taste.”

 

“Yeah, yeah, yeah. My mom is coming home tomorrow so I thought we could hang out today.” InuYasha pulled up a chair and sat beside her at the desk.

 

“I like the sound of that.”

 

“Yeah, I bet you do. Oh, and happy birthday InuYasha.”
