Getting out of hot water just to end up in ice water

Chapter 1 Getting out of hot water just to end up in ice water

Kagome had done it again. She was once again put in solitare confienment. It didn't bug her at all though. She liked it the silence. And after all it could be worse. Most people in prison would love to be in her spot. And she wouldn't even be here if she was one year older. She was only 17, still a minor. If her court date had been held about a few months later she would have ended up in a pirson for awhile, but even though there was a brighter side to her problem she couldn't feel happy. Why should she? After all she shouldn't even be here in the Evergreen Jeuvenille Hall. She should be right now at home getting ready for her dance performance that was that night. She couldn't go to it now. All thanks to her twin sister Kikyo.

Kikyo had made alot of bad choices, but what she did awhile ago had to be the worst. She had no reason to do what she did. After all Kikyo was like one of the most popular kids at school and she had a great boyfriend which Kagome would have given anything to be with someone like him. His name was Inuyasha, but he wasn't enough for Kikyo. So while going out with Inuyasha, Kikyo decided to also hang around with one of the school's worst kids named Onigumo. Ever since she started to hang around Onigumo she started to do bad things. Like blow off her homework just so she could walk the streets downtown and forgetting about her dates with Inuyasha so she could invite Onigumo to her bedroom and do god knows what with each other.

The worst thing she did though was a few weeks ago when Onigumo got into a fight with his best friend Goshinki. Onigumo wanted to get back at Goshinki so he had Kikyo break into his house in the middle of the night and steal his car. Once Goshinki figured what was going on and called the cops Onigumo came and injured Goshinki pretty bad. Kikyo who still had the car got a call on her cellphone from Onigumo and he told her that the cops were coming. So she quickly parked the car in the drive way, snuck into Kagome's room where she was sleeping and placed the keys in her hands, and then finally snuck out the backdoor. And since Kikyo didn't bring her car back from the movies were she and Onigumo were plotting there plan nobody would suspect her. The cops did finally come and search for the black haired girl that Goshinki reported stole his car and they found Kagome red handed with the keys in her hand. Quickly Kagome was put on house arrest, brought to court a few weeks later, and was now here.

During the fight, when Goshinki called the police Goshinki did tell them that it was a black haired girl who stole the car, because he couldn't think of Kikyo's name at that moment. When he finally remembered it Onigumo theartned Goshinki into testifying that Kagome stole the car and while he was at it he might as well tell the police that Kagome attacked him. When the court date would came Goshinki did just that. He told the judge that Kagome broke into Goshinki's house, assualted him, and the stole the car. So she was sentenced to this place for awhile. Nobody cared what happened to Kagome at all. All everybody cared about was Kikyo. Even there parents. When Kagome heard that Onigumo was involved she told her mom and grandpa that Kikyo probaly had something to do with it. And she was punished for blaming her well behaved sister. Kagome's parents didn't even get her a lawyer because they were well convinced that Kagome had done the crime and she deserved what was going to befall her.

This wasn't a bad place for Kagome to be at the moment though. She would rather be here in her nice silent room then be home on house arrest or something like that. Everyone in her family despised her at the moment. Kikyo never really could get along with Kagome and it was even worse now because Kagome told on Kikyo when she learned about what Onigumo did. Her parents thought she was pathetic because she blamed Kikyo. And Inuyasha thought Kagome wanted to start trouble by saying that little perfect Kikyo was going out with scum like Onigumo. As much as she wouldn't get along with her family and friends at the moment it would nothing but peaches and ice cream if you compared it to how Kagome was doing with her inmates. All they did was call Kagome a 'skank', 'whore', and a whole bunch of other things that no one in school would have ever dared to call her. Normally she wouldn't have fought back with them, but she now lately found herself doing it all the time just so she could be put by herself. She spent the next few hours looking at her orange shirt and orange sweat pants, laying on her uncomfrotable bed, and pondering how to put herself back in solitare confinement. Then the door swung open.

"Miss Higurashi you are needed in meeting room B," a strict voice told her.

The voice came by the girl's overseer. And Kagome was to meet someone. This was either bad or good, because thanks to all the fights Kagome has gotten into she wasn't on a good enough level to recieve normal vistors not that anyone would visit her or anything. It had to be something to do with her case. Kagome got up and followed the overseer to the second floor to the second door in the hallway where the meeting room was. When she got in there she saw nothing but a big table and only three people sitting at it. Two faces she recognized one face she didn't. Sitting on the left of the table was her mother who was glaring evily at Kagome. Sitting next to her was a brown haired young man that Kagome had only met a few times. His name was Hojo. She only knew him because he good friends with her uncle and she had seen him when she went to visit or on family reunions. The man sitting on the other side of the table looked pretty young too, but he didn't show it in his face. He was totally emotionless he just held a frown the whole time and he had the most odd white looking hair.

"What is going on?" Kagome asked after the overseer left and shut the door behind her.

"My very generous brother heard of your little run in with the law," he mother said in an annoyed tone, "and unlike me he doesn't belive that you had anything to do with that stolen car so go his friend Hojo to work on your case. Even though I think it is just a waste of time it is clear you did it and you just want to act like a little brat and blame your sister to get out of it."

"Let me handle it from here," Hojo told Kagome's mother before redirecting his attentiont to Kagome, "after I heard about what you said about Kikyo maybe having something to do with it I told the judge about it and he said that this information is very important. Unfortuntley it cannot be proven so you can't be let off the hook, but we will work on the case more because of the information. Until then nothing is really proven so there is no need to stay here anymore. You will just be put on probation for awhile until something is figured out."

Kagome spent the next few seconds looking at her mother. She looked very angry. This told Kagome that there wasn't anything happy waiting back for her at home.

"I don't have to leave today?" Kagome asked Hojo, "Do I?"

"It is pretty late in the afternoon so you will stay here one night, but you are going back first thing in the morning," Hojo informed her.

"Oh," sighed Kagome looking down at the floor sadly, "Is there anything else?"

"No not really," said Hojo, "but first you will have to have ten minutes with this gentlemen across from me. His name is Sesshoumaru he will be your probation officer."

Kagome looked at the white haired man again. His face was still the same. He looked very strict so Kagome could tell this probation thing would not be good.

"We are will meet you in the parking lot," Hojo told Sesshoumaru as he got up and left the room with Kagome's mother.

After they both left Kagome just stood for about a minute in total silence thinking about what was awaiting her back home.

"Sit down already," Sesshoumaru simply told Kagome who had been standing ever since she entered the room.

Kagome did as he said and sat in the seat right across from him.

"Now as you know I am Sesshoumaru Sagia your probation officer," Sesshoumaru told her when she finally sat down.

Kagome almost jumped when she heard his last name. She had already heard it before. It was the same last name that Inuyasha had.

"Something interesting about that?" Sesshoumaru asked Kagome once he seen her surprised expression.

"Your last name," Kagome finally said after a few seconds of silence, "are you related to Inuyasha Sagia?"

"Yes," he told her, "he is my half brother. Normally I wouldn't give a damn about your questions for me but he is the boyfriend of the one that you say commited the crime and that makes him important."

Kagome simply nodded as Sesshoumaru countinued on.

"I have looked at your file Miss. Higurashi and I have found out you have never been in trouble like this before so I will explain everything to you during our few minutes together," he carried on, "first of all we will be meeting every week to see how you have been doing in school to see if your punishment needs to be worsened or loosened. To my understanding from what I have heard from your lawyer you will be on house arrest for about a week once you are let out. It is something done with all kids who have been let out of places like these, but after that week you are free to walk the streets again and that is when I am going to have to set some rules. Let me see I think I am only going to give you two hours after school before you have to go home and stay there. If there is anything you must go to that takes place after those two hours you tell me during our sessions and I will deciede if you can attend them or not depending on how you are doing in school. I will tell you during our next meeting what will do about your weekend. All those that I have told you are basically the standard laws for those on probation. Any other rules that are not those are ones that I have made and only I can change. I will give you those rules during our next meeting also. Now any questions?"

Kagome just shook her head as she remembered that Sesshoumaru himself had said that he didn't give a damn about her questions.

"Good. And you better keep your nose clean, because I might deal with you the hardest considering you are the first one I had ever had to deal with, because I just started this job. And I might have to try all of my punishment ideas on you to see if I should try them on the ones after you."

"I understand," Kagome simply told him, "can I ask you a question."

"No you may not because in case you haven't been paying attention I already asked you if you had any questions and you said no," he told her coldly, "ask it at the next meeting."

Kagome nodded once again. Sesshoumaru took the rest of the ten minutes just giving her brief glances. There was something he couldn't understand. This was his first time as probation officer, but he had seen another probation officers work before when he was training and this Kagome girl was different then the rest of the childeren. The boys usaully always would try cussing out there probation officer acting like they were stronger and the girls always just spit at there officers and acted like they knew more. This girl really was very different. She didn't seem like the kind of person who would commit a crime at all. He wouldn't let he know that he wasn't a lawyer he was just souppose to hand out the punishments.

"Fine I will allow you to ask your question," said Sesshoumaru once he looked at the clock and found out there was three minutes left, "Normally I wouldn't after I already asked but seeing as how this is boring and you are not offically on probation yet I will allow it."

"Okay then," she told him, "I just wanted to know that if this case isn't solved in three months will I still be on probation, because I won't be a minor anymore won't something worse happen."

"This probaly will be all sorted out in three months but if it is not then you will still be on probation you just won't have it with me anymore. You will be moved to an adult probation officer."

"Oh," she simply said once more. She then remained silent until the ten minutes were finally up.

"Time is finally up just as Hojo said you won't leave until morning and it is state law that relatives are not allowed to escort you to or from the building so I will be picking you up tommarow so be ready."

He then got up and went out the door. There he found Kagome's overseer and told her that they were done and Kagome was to be in the lobby the next day ready to leave. Once he faded from sight the overseer lead Kagome up to the third floor. Kagome was already once again depressed. Before when the overseer got her she was in solitare confinment on the fifth floor. The third floor was where her room was that she shared with some rude inmates. She would just have to ignore them for the rest of the night. What was the point in fighting she would soon be going home.

"Welcome back Kagome," Kagome's inmate known as Yura said when the overseer brought her back to her room.

Kagome watched as the overseer left and right when she left it was no surprise to Kagome when she found herself pushed to the ground.

"Now tell me what in the hell were you thinking when you actaully tried to fight me a few hours ago?" asked Yura as she began to kick the girl further into the ground.

Kaguya another girl who was Kagome's inmate came up and kicked her in the arm.

"Guess what Higurashi," said Kaguya as she dug her leg deeper into Kagome's shoulder, "I talked with the overseer and told her about how everytime we try to be nice, as you know we are, you try to fight just so you can be in solitare confinment because you are anti social. And she said that if that was the case she wouldn't allow you to be by yourself that easy anymore."

"Well guess what I don't care because I am going home tommarow!" yelled Kagome.

Kagome had just made one of the worst mistakes you could in this place. She had told them that she was leaving and that meant they would do there worst to her.

"Oh really?" asked Yura.

"Yes its true," Kagome sighed now knowing what she had just done.

Kaguya then finally kicked Kagome right in the face as Yura placed her foot on Kagome's stomach.

"We should have a happy good bye celebration then shouldn't we," said Kaguya as countinued to kick Kagome in the face.

"Yes I think you are right Kaguya," Yura told her as she pushed Kagome closer onto the concrete floor with her foot and spit in Kagome's hair.

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

Kagome checked for one final time just to make sure. And she had now finally confirmed it that Kaguya and Yura were now asleep meaning she could lay down in her bed. The whole night when the two weren't beating up on her they forced her to stay awake on the cold concrete floor as those two slept in there warm beds with there blankets. She tried to move towards her bed a few times that night, but one of them knew she was up so they quickly kicked her a little and told her not to move. She knew that if one of them woke up in the morning and discovored her in her bed she would really be punished, but they were all up pretty late so she was praying that she would have to leave before they could do anything. Thoughts of leaving did'nt make her feel any better either. There was nothing happy for her waiting back home they all despised her. And not to mention her house was about two hours away from this place meaning she would be stuck alone in a car with Sesshoumaur for two hours when they couldn't even hardly be around each other for ten minutes. It was something she wasn't looking forward too. Kagome kept thinking about everything that was happening and somehow it did feel like it was her who stole the car and attacked Goshinki. She had to keep reminding herself that she was sleeping her bed while all of that went on and she had nothing to do with it. Then she thought about something. If it were her that didn't get caught then Kikyo would be the one suffering all of this right. And she cared about her sister too much to allow all of this to happen to Kikyo. And this case would take awhile meaning Kikyo would no longer be a minor and she would be sent to pirson which would be a whole lot worse then this. She couldn't allow that to happen to her twin sister. So she decieded she would no longer testify that Kikyo had anything to the crime that night. It wasn't like she would confess that she did it or anything she just wouldn't say anymore then she had already said.

Right when Kagome finally got comfrotable and was about to drift off to sleep the door opened and she saw her overseer.

"Miss Higurashi I shall escort you to the showers your ride will be here in about an hour."

Kagome nodded as she got up and followed her overseer towards the fourth floor where all of the showers were kept.

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

Kagome looked at all of the water droplets that came out of the faucet. This was the first time ever since Kagome arrived at the juevenille center that she was in the showers all by herself. She hated batheing in public making it possible for everyone to see her features. Ever since the first time she bathed the inmates started saying she was a whore and a skank. The hot water in the shower automatically turned itself off after five minutes and cold water was something that Kagome couldn't stand so she quickly jumped out and grabbed a towel. She looked towards a table that was outside of the shower. Laying on it was the clothes that she had on before she was told that she had to ware the orange uniform. It was her favorite shirt. An ordinary pink shirt with a four leaf clover on it. It wasn't that lucky though after all she was wearing it during court when she was found guilty. She quickly threw on her under garments and then placed on her pink shirt and blue jeans.

Kagome started to hear footsteps and she knew that some of the inmates were waking up and getting ready to take a shower. So she quickly stepped out of the shower room and went to the stairs that lead to the third floor where the overseer was waiting.

"You will now go down and eat breakfast and then I will wait with you in the lobby where your probation officer will pick you up."

Kagome nodded as she followed the woman down the stairs and to the first floor. Kagome could easily remember the map of the juevnille hall. The first floor was where the lobby, cafetria, and exercise, area were kept. Second floor was where all of the rooms were along with the meeting rooms. The third floor was where Kagome found herself at the most because it was where the solitare confinment rooms were. The other half of the third floor was used as a clinic for those who got injured, but Kagome never went there even though she found herself bruised all the time thanks to her so called 'room mates' and her overseer never really paid attention at all to notice the bruises she recieved so she never had permission to go. The fourth floor was where basically everything else was like the showers, dressing room, laundry room, and a little miniture libary.

By the time Kagome was when the cafetria everyone else was probaly just waking up and entering the showers so she would probaly be out before having any contact with anyone. The lights werent even on in the cafetria when her overseer went to go in the kitchen and get her a poptart. Kagome nibbled on it for about five minutes before she was rushed into the lobby. Her overseer then left because she had to go escort Kaguya and Yura to the showers and Kagome had to sit in the lobby waiting room while being watched by the secretary. She looked at the clock. It was only five in the morning and Sesshoumaru wasn't expected until seven. So she had awhile of waiting. She flipped open a Seventeen magazine that was laying on a table by her seat. It was awhile since she read anything. She checked two books out of the libary, but fighting with Kaguya and Yura always took up so much time and she never had time to read anything and the whole point of solitare confinement was that she would have nothing to do so she could think about what she did. She got bored with the magazines after about an hour so she just sat them down and looked at the clock again. It was six in the morning. Right now the cafetria would be filled with everyone yelling and eating breakfast. The only thing that was probaly going on different at breakfast was that Kagome wasn't there so no one would have anything to flick food or horrible comments at.

Kagome looked around. There were only a few people there. It was visting hours for the parents that had childeren that were on good behavior. There was also a young boy who was sitting next to a cop. He was shackled up. Kagome was also shackled up right before she was was taken to her room. Meaning that the boy was probaly going to be stuck here.

After a few minutes the cop got up to speak with the secretary. And while that was happening the boy took a seat next to Kagome.

"Hello," the boy said to her.

That was a first. The whole time she had been there nobody's first words to her were 'hello.' They were either 'so your the new meat', 'stay out of my way bitch', or the usaul she got from the guys 'your lucky we get escorted to are rooms or I would take you with me'.

"Hi," she said to the boy, "you shouldn't be talking to me without permission you will get in trouble."

"I am allowed too," the boy told Kagome, "I am not a kid being punished I am only shackled because it is state law to be chained being sent to live in this place. My parents were murdered, I have no other relatives, and there are no availble foster parents so I have to stay here for awhile."

"Oh," said Kagome.

She felt sorry for the boy already he had to stay here with all of the other childeren that were no more then trouble makers.

"My name is Shippou," said the boy, "what is yours?"

"I am Kagome and I am just getting ready to leave this place forever," she told the orange haired child.

"Oh so now I will have to make some other friends," Shippou sighed sadly.

"We wouldn't be able to see much of each other anyways boys and girl have to stay in different rooms all day. And take my advice and try not to be friends with many of the kids here unless they are like you and only being sent here because they have no family."

"Why?"

"It is hard to explain its just that some of the childeren here are pretty cruel sometimes for example look at my face."

Shippou did as Kagome said and looked at her face. It was covered in bruises and black eyes.

"What happened?"

"Two girls that I shared a room with tended to go off on me a little, but I am happy now. Yura and Kaguya hate each other the only thing that made them get along was having me to beat up on. Now they don't have me anymore so they will probaly have to start to bruise each other up."

"So your saying the kids here are not that nice."

"Exactaully."

"So what should I do?"

Kagome spent the rest of the time telling Shippou about what to do and what not to do when it came to being around the other inmates until he had to go to his new room which thankfully had no inmates in it. Kagome then just silently waited for another fifthteen minutes when her white haired probation officer finally entered the room.

"Kagome it is time to go," Sesshoumaru told her when he approached her.

Kagome nodded as she stood up and quickly went to the vistor's bathroom as Sesshoumaru was signing some papers. He was all done when she got out and a police man type guy was standing by him.

"You know the drill Miss. Higurashi," the man told Kagome.

Kagome knew what was going on. She had to leave the place just like she came in. Shackled and handcuffed.

"Mr. Saga here will take them off of you when you arrive home," the man said as he shackled her feet.

"Whats the point in this its not like I am going to escape from anybody on the way home?" Kagome asked even though she actaully considered it a few times but she didn't need to get into anymore trouble that she already was.

"You would be surprised at the type of childeren we get here," the man joked as she handcuffed her hands and then hooked a chain between the ones on her shackles and the ones on her handcuffs, "there she is all yours now Sesshoumaru."

Sesshoumaru nodded as he headed towards the door and Kagome followed. They made there way through the gravel parking lot to Sesshoumaru's car. It was a nice Ford Mustang that was brand new. Kagome's plan was simple. She really didn't want to be in a car for two hours waiting for him to talk to get into a converstation. She just wanted to go curl up in the back seat and sleep since she didn't get enough sleep the night before. He plan was already beginning to fall apart though when he opened the door to the passenger's seat for her to get in. She got in and he quickly shut the door and got in on his side. He looked at her for second, let out a sigh and started the car. It was about ten minutes before Sesshoumaru said anything.

"I took a look at your file Miss. Higurashi and I am most dissappointed in you," he said while still keep an eye on the road, "your marks in school are pretty high I have never seen a student like you go so bad."

So he also didn't believe her. That was just super and this was someone she would have to deal with for the next three months.

"Unless your words are true and you had nothing to do with that attack and robbery," he countinued.

That was great not only was this the guy she had to deal with for three months, but it also looked like he could read her mind.

"You know you better learn to talk sometime soon during the meetings during your probation period so you might as well start now," he snapped at her.

"Fine then."

"Oh is this an attitude problem I sense."

"No sir it isn't."

"Then what is it?"

"You told me to talk so I did."

"There is that attitude again."

Kagome's list of things that annoyed her about her probation officer was already beginning to grow. Number one it took him awhile to start a converstation. Number two it seemed like he knew exactaully what she was thinking. And number three he could sense when she was having a so called attitude problem.

"Well I guess attitude problem or not at least you are talking, but be warned when you are offically on probation you better clean yourself of all attitude problems it is simply something I will not happen. Now tell me did you or did you not have anything to do with that attack and robbery that night."

Kagome was ready to say 'what do you think I thought you knew all about what I said in court' but she didn't want him saying that she had an attitude problem so she just decided to come up with a four word answer.

"No I did not," she said.

"So you believe it was your sister Kikyo?"

Kagome didn't know what to say. She already told herself the night before that she would not mention Kikyo in this case anymore she just wouldn't have Kikyo go through everything that Kagome went through in such a short while. So she just looked out the window and pretended that Sesshoumaru didn't ask.

"Girl," he growled.

Kagome couldn't ignore that command so she quickly looked towards him even though she couldn't look at him in the eyes on the account that he was driving.

"Don't just pretend to not hear me tell me did Kikyo do it or not?"

There was the mind reading again. What should she tell him? She would not tell him about Kikyo no matter how theartning this guy looked, but she had to tell him something.

"Onigumo," Kagome finally muttered.

Sesshoumaru didn't even have to ask what she meant by saying that. He knew exactaully who Onigumo was he didn't even need a last name. Onigumo use to be a minor under the authority of the probation officer before him. That was a few years ago thought. Onigumo was no longer a minor and he was under the authority of the adult probation officer Naraku. No wonder why Onigumo was all of a sudden causing problems Naraku had to be one of the worst probation officers. He broke the law more then upheld it. Sesshoumaru has had enough run ins with Naraku when the damn man was doing something that should be last thing anybody with there pocessions should be doing. He had many times caught Naraku gambling, taking illegal substances, and giving women unwanted company. Naraku was also rumored to be the type who had many connections and at anytime Naraku needed to he could simply threaten anybody into doing anything thanks to his connections. He didn't ever report it though. He thought anybody who got into enough trouble to have to deal with Naraku deserved everything they got for example who knew how many times he took advantage of being near a woman who was handcuffed and shackled. He knew exactually why he was being kind to Onigumo though. Not only was Onigumo a male, but also Onigumo's family was one of Naraku's connections for they too were involved in the shipping of the illegal substances.

"So you are now saying Onigumo had something to do with that night?"

"Yes."

"Would you explain it to me all I have heard about so far was that you said Kikyo did it I never heard anything about Onigumo. So if you did it you might as well confess because if you keep changing suspects no one will believe you and you will be thought of as a liar. I will talk to Hojo about this Onigumo thing later I don't even know if I am allowed to bring it as evidence if it was disscussed outside of a probation meeting, but what I want to know is did Kikyo have anything to do with it or not?"

"If this isn't a real probation meeting then I don't have to answer that."

"You are exactaully right Miss Higurashi, but I don't like to be disobeyed so I will let it slip this time so during our meetings you better not act like this or you will be punished."

"How will you punish me?"

"Oh so now you are becoming talkative well let me see how punishing someone in your position isn't hard. I cannot make your probation longer that will be up to your new probation officer once the three months are up I will just simply sign a paper and give it to your parents."

"What will the paper say?"

"Just things like Miss. Higurashi is no longer allowed to use the phone, or Miss. Higurashi can not watch tv, or I could even shorten your time that you are allowed out of home and school."

"All of my friends who have been on probation never said anything like that."

"The laws and times have changed I now have the power to do alot of things to inconvience you."

"Like what?"

"Like did you know that I am allowed to secretly place cameras in your bedroom and monitor you?"

"You wouldn't would you?"

"I am not going to at the moment but if I get any problems from you I might not have any choice."

"You won't get any problems from me because I never had any problems to begin with."

"Stealing a car and attacking a fellow student is a problem in my opinion."

"I didn't do it though so it means I don't have a problem."

"Well if you would just tell everybody what Kikyo and Onigumo did then me and everyone else would believe you."

"I already tried and I was only punished and despised because of it."

Sesshoumaru just let out another sigh as he began to pay attention to the road more.

"You wouldn't mind if I took a little one hour nap would you?" Kagome asked Sesshoumaru, "I sort of didn't get enough sleep last night."

"I told you that you would be going home early in the morning why didn't you go to bed early?"

Sesshoumaru then got stuck in a red light so he took the time to look at Kagome's face and discovered she had bruises on her face that wasn't there yesterday when he had last spoken with her. He had enough experince for when he had to train to deal with these kids to know what had happened to her.

"In three months you will be considered an adult so you had to be one of the oldest kids in that detinition center and you allowed your inmates to do that to you?"

"Its not like I asked them to hurt me to and I did try to fight back and everytime I got caught, so I was put in solitare confinment."

"Well you better learn to toughen up because if Hojo fails to fine out anything or if you refuse to talk then you will find yourself back there or probaly in jail."

"I can't I don't like to fight."

"Maybe one day you will understand; and yes you may rest I will wake you when we arrive."

Kagome nodded as she closed her eyes. It was difficult trying to sleep with all the with all the chains on her arms and legs, but finally she got over it and drifted off to sleep.

Sesshoumaru still couldn't figure out the sleeping girl sitting in the car with him. She was now talking more then the day before, but she still had trouble with just plan speaking. During the whole car ride she didn't make an attempt to start a converstation she only spoke when she was spoken to. Was it because she was afraid of him? Good. He was glad he could strike fear into this girl's heart it made his job way easier.

Hojo's job would be far from easy though. Obvisouly the girl refused to say what happened the night that she was caught with the car keys. And Sesshoumaru didn't know if Kagome muttering Onigumo's name would help the case any. He probaly would tell Hojo to find out where exactually where Onigumo was that night, but there was a small problem with that.
