CHAPTER ONE

Kagome

My life had fallen down the drain; my mom became a drug addict after Grandfather and Dad died, my little brother was in and out of the police station's holding cell, and that left me to support the family. So, I drop out of school. All the jobs I'd taken had been crappy dead-end jobs, because no one gives good jobs to a high school dropout.

That was my life for years until billionaire Inuyasha Taisho took an interest in me. He picked me and my family up and out of the gutter. He gave me whatever I wanted: fancy dresses, jewels, money, he even paid for me to go back to school, and all I had to do was put up with his attitude. Over time I fell in love with him. I thought he loved me too.

Naraku's fortress

"Ring, ring." Kagura muttered as she slammed my phone down on a table, "You are still his girl aren't you?" Circling me, she asked.

I jutted my chin out defiantly, though being tied to a chair might have lessened the effect of defiance.

"Inuyasha isn't answering." Kagura told Naraku, who lunged in the corner.

He held out his hand for my cell phone, "Then let’s leave a...interesting...message." Instead of dialing he throw my phone against the wall next to my head, the screen shattered and little bits of technology shot out of it like shrapnel.

Walking over to me he leaned in close, "Make sure he gets this message." Turning toward his two other minions in the room, Naraku ordered. "Break all the fingers on her left hand then dump her in front of Inuyasha Taisho's house." Then he simply left.

I looked at the twins Kageromaru and Juromaru, sociopaths the both of them.

Kageromaru smiled, it was the creepiest smile I had ever seen. "Juromaru," he snapped at his twin, still grinning.

"Ugh," Kagura said in disgust, "Unlike you two I gain no pleasure from others pain. I'm leaving."

Once she was gone Kageromaru ordered, "Juromaru, break her fingers. Slowly."

Juromaru stepped forward nodding.

My screams filled the air until the pain became unbearable and beautiful unconscious took me.

3:45 a.m.

The driveway of Inuyasha's mansion

What woke me wasn't the pain, though that might have helped some, it was the bone chilling cold. I was laying face down in the snow, as I lifted my throbbing head I slowly took in my surroundings. I was in the middle of Inuyasha's driveway. His unshoveled driveway.

I frowned, the only reason it would be unshoveled would be because Inuyasha was traveling. He couldn't be, I was sure he would have at least texted to tell me. Maybe he had, I no longer had my cell to check.

I tried to get up but the pain that ripped through my left side slowed me. Kageromaru and Juromaru had done a bit more then break my fingers, they had also stabbed my leg repeatedly and broke my left arm in at least three places. But my nap in the snow must have numbed me because if I didn't jostle my left side too much I could push the pain to the back of my mind.

Limping, I made my way to the front door. Raising my good hand I rang the doorbell when that didn't bring anyone to the door I tried knocking. Nothing.

As the wind blew and snow fell I shivered, I was dressed in a T-shirt, jeans, and sneakers all of which were soaked.

"A key." I mumbled, falling to my knees to look under the welcome mat. "There has to be a house key." Somehow through my brain’s cold and pain induced fog I noticed a rock next to the mat. Picking it up I tried opening it to see if it was a key hidey-rock, after a couple of tries to no avail I just used the rock to break the window so I could reach the lock.

Stumbling in doors I ran for the phone, after a few rings he answered.

"Who is this!." he growled

"Inuyasha." I sobbed.

"Kagome?What are you doing in my house?!"

I quickly told him what had happened, how I was kidnapped on my way home from class, the torture, and the reason why they did all of this to me. "They want something back." I inhaled deeply, "Inuyasha, why did you get involved with the mafia or gangs or whatever they are?!"

"That's none of your business" he retorted.

"Well it is now and where are you?"

"I'm...."

I waited.

"I uh..."

"Where are you?!" I demanded, silence answered me.

"You know what?” I whispered, they had called him using my phone and he hadn't answered “I don’t care.” I paused to swallow back tears. “You left me to die."

"Kagome..." he started to say.

I gripped the house phone tighter. "While I was being tortured, you ignored the calls that could have stopped it."

"Kagom−"

"I hate you." I said in a monotone.

"Kagom−"

"They called you using my phone and you didn't answer. You left me there to die"

"Kagome I didn't−"

"I'm done." I hung up feeling dead inside. I thought about calling the police or an ambulance but I was to...empty. I just went into the first bedroom I found, fell into bed, and slept.

Update: I've made some grammar and story adjustments in this update.
