Chapter Two
"It happened five months before she fell down the well-," She started only to be cut off as her daughter announced her presence.
"I'm home, school was let out early because some stupid boys mixed the wrong chemicals together and the lab caught on fire." Kagome walked into the living room, everyone stared at her, "What are you doing?" She asked suspiciously.
"Just getting to know each other dear, Souta should be home soon so please leave the door unlock," Mama responded, all she got in return was a grunt in acknowledgement as Kagome headed to the kitchen for food. Her appearance seemed ragged and tired; her hair rather messy, noticeable rings under her eyes and her form slumped. The most distinct change was her eyes, dull, full of pain, dazed and glazed over as if lost in a dream.
What happened to you Kagome? Inuyasha thought as he watched her disappear though the doorway. He would find out even if it killed him.
With Kagome
She walked to the sink and sighed as she looked out the window. She couldn't stop her mind from wandering towards the past no matter how hard she tried it always went back to those two months.
The girl would have given up hope if it weren't for her dad, who was in a horrible state with many broken bones, his face swell up with so many bruises that he was unrecognisable and he could see out of his right eye any more, but he kept smiling for her which gave her strength to carry on.
"W-we will be ok, I promise. Someone will find us." He spoke through spilt dry lips; they hadn't gotten water for the last few days judging on their 'beating schedule' as both father and daughter had bitterly joked.
"I hope so." The girl whispered back, her own voice hoarse from the crying, pleading and begging for reprieve from her beatings which only antagonised her captors further. The worst thing was the video cameras, they always brought them to another room with a single window with thick steel bars securely installed to light the rodent infested room. Against the wall there was always a single video camera, sometimes they would even go as far to hold it in her face asking sick questions.
All of a sudden the solid metal door to their prison was opened, "Your turn bitch," The plump man with the greasy blonde hair grinned darkly as he walked toward the girl and her father. Grabbing her roughly by the hair with his dirty hands, he dragged her to the door ignoring squeals of pain and the tears that slowly descended down her abused face yet again.
The girl looked at her father, she was scared that this would be the last time she saw him; it was her biggest fear every time they took her away. "I love you," He whispered, and the girl weakly smile.
"I love you too, dad." Some tears fell from his eyes as he watched his only daughter be drag off to possibly her death, he knew that they may not make it out but he was trying so hard to hold on for her but even his hope of both of them being rescued was slowly fading as days wore on to weeks.
The girl was dragged down the dreary hall to the room not far from her father, "Well, well, well, if it isn't our little princess." Another man spat, he was buffer than most of the others but it wasn't his build that had the fourteen year old shaking, "Lets get started." As he finished that he cracked the two-tailed whip in emphases.
Fear filled her chocolate brown eyes as she started to crawl backwards, but she didn't get far with the filthy hand still in her tangled locks.
In the next hours that followed, blood curdling screams filled the silent hallways along with cruel hysteric laughter as she was whipped ruthlessly over and over again, they didn't even stop as the crimson blood dripped down her back and legs to the floor, creating a growing puddle below her feet.
Kagome was abruptly jolted out of her thoughts as a pair of strong arms wrapped themselves around her waist causing her to stiffen in fear, "Hey, are you ok?" Inuyasha's hot breath fanned across her ear making her shiver in response. Inuyasha smirked as he noticed her reaction.
"Yeah, I'm fine, just thinking." She responded in a small voice, relaxing into his touch.
"What about?" Inuyasha asked in an equally quite voice, he had seen how she looked before; it was just like when they were walking to the well. He saw her eye's expressing the same deep pain as before.
"Nothing important," She put her hand over Inuyasha's and laid her head on his shoulder, her forehead touching the crook of his neck. Inuyasha held her tighter.
"Why can't you tell me? I know something is wrong, don't you trust me?" Kagome flinched at the hurt in his voice and turned around in his arms.
"Of course I trust you, I trust you with my life but it's nothing important, it's just something that happened a long time ago. I just don't feel like talking about it right now." She cupped his cheek and made affectionate circles with her thumb, he pressed into her hand more firmly and Kagome became bolder as her other hand crept up to the white appendages on top of his head.
She genteelly cupped it in her hand, stroking the edges with her thumb causing Inuyasha to shiver in pleasure. Inuyasha pressed his ears into her hands more making him lay his head on her shoulder, his nose nuzzling her neck as a low growl vibrating soothingly through his chest.
Suddenly Kagome felt something wet against her neck, No way… that can't be…, but sure enough it was and Inuyasha licked her neck again, she turned her head to asked him what that was for when he licked her nose. He looked as if he was in a trance.
To be honest, it was rather arousing for some strange reason, all problems from that day flew from her mind as Inuyasha backed her into the bench and grinded forcefully against her making Kagome gasp and involuntarily arch herself into his hard muscular chest. He lifted one of her legs up and placed it his hip to give him better access to her already dripping core. Kagome reached for his ears again, rubbing the base and Inuyasha bucked into her, hitting her panty-covered clit and forcing a moan from the disorientated girl.
She put her arms around Inuyasha's neck to keep from falling backwards; their lips were just about to touch-
"Kagome dear, can you start dinner for me?" Kagome's mother called out, effectively snapping both teens out of their hormone-driven trances.
God fucking damn it! Inuyasha cursed venomously in his mind, he didn't know what came over him! He was just going to try to get some information out of Kagome as to why she was acting the way she is. At least he made progress; it was the closest he had ever been to her and his only comfort being the heavy smell of her arousal that hung in the air.
"U-mm, I sh-hould start di-nner," Kagome stuttered, smoothing out her skirt and jumping down from the counter and walking to the fridge to find some vegetables in the crisper.
The young hanyou just smirk at her stutter and watched her ass as she bent down to pick out some get out some onions for dinner. He groaned and forced himself to look away as he noticed she was in the bitch position. He walked out mumbling something about taking care of a problem before bounding off to the forest behind the shrine.
::::::::::::::::::::
After dinner everyone watched a movie and Inuyasha requested – demanded – to watch the fast metal carriages with the fire, which was in fact the latest fast and furious movie. Sango, Miroku and Shippo all enjoyed the 'moving picture box' as Inuyasha proudly introduced to them.
Eventually the movie ended and everyone was sleepy, mama Higurashi and Grandpa had gone to bed earlier and left the friends to continue to movie.
Kagome glanced to the clock on the table beside the couch, 10:37 I better make some sleeping arrangements for them, she thought and stood up heading to the stairs. Everyone was still down stairs either playing with the remote or with Inuyasha in the kitchen looking for more food while Kagome got out three futons from the linen closest placing two in Souta's room and one in her own room before heading back down stairs.
"Miroku and Inuyasha you're sleeping in Souta's room, Shippo you can sleep in Souta's bed with him and Sango and Kilala can sleep in my room, ok?" Kagome told everyone while yawning.
"Kagome you could have asked me for help setting the beds up," Sango informed the sleepy teenager.
"No it's ok, thanks any way," She yawned again and stretched.
"Oi wench, go to sleep it's late," Inuyasha frowned; she had dark bags under her eyes, indicating she hadn't been sleeping well lately.
"I'm not tired," Kagome half-heartedly glared at him.
"Yes you are," And before she could make another retort Inuyasha picked her up bridle style, carrying her close to his muscular chest, and headed to her room. It was no surprise to him that she fell asleep on the way there.
"Good night, Kagome." Inuyasha laid her down, careful not to wake her and kissed her forehead tenderly. Everyone else went to bed soon after as Inuyasha turned off the lights around the house and quickly followed.
:::::::::::::::::::
It was 2 in the morning when Inuyasha woke up; he could hear noises of someone moving around making it hard to sleep. His eyes scanned to room and landed on Shippo who was shaking in his position next to Souta. He watched him awhile longer and Inuyasha nearly jumped when Shippo promptly sat up with a gasp.
Shippo swiftly jumped and landed near the door without a sound, unaware of Inuyasha's watchful eyes. He grabbed the door handle and was soon out the door heading towards Kagome's room, "Where do you think your going runt?" Shippo squeaked and turned to the gruff voice behind him outside of Kagome's room.
"Kagome scent's-" Shippo didn't get to finish because of the piercing screams that rang out on the other side of the door and Inuyasha wasted no time in running in.
"Kagome!"
Kagome was violently thrashing around, tangling herself in her sheets and continued to scream bloody murder. Her back arched off the bed as she screamed again, "NOOO!"
Kagome's mother came running in still tying her robe hurriedly as Inuyasha hovered around in a panic, unsure of what to do.
"Inuyasha hold Kagome down!" She order and Inuyasha ran over to the side of her bed, grabbing her flailing arms before pinning her legs down with his own. She some how managed to escape his grasp a few times surprising him but he tightened his grip on her wrist and pushed more of his body weight on to her.
She kept screaming as she arched into Inuyasha's chest trying to get away, "Kagome wake up! Come on bitch, wake up!" He screamed at her, tears began to stream down her face.
"Kagome your safe, its okay, come on, shh, calm down everything is alright, it's over," Mrs Higurashi spoke soothingly and cupped Kagome's cheek, she calmed down a little only to jolt up again almost head butting Inuyasha. Kagome looked around frantically breathing heavily; she briefly glanced at everyone in the room.
Sango and Souta were on the verge of tears, Shippo was crying and Miroku was just staring back at her unsure of what was going on, she turned her attention quickly to her mother who breathed a sigh of relief then to Inuyasha who was on top of her still holding her wrists tightly, "Shh, it's Inuyasha, it's me, it's Inuyasha, your ok,"
Slowly tears started to travel down her red blotchy cheeks again, Inuyasha let her hands go, leaving red welts from the force of his grip, and Kagome launched up into his chest crying her heart out and he returned the embrace. He lay down next to her with his back against the wall, never breaking their embrace, he gave the others in the room a look and they all took the hint to get out leaving the two in peace without a word.
Slowly Kagome calmed down again, hiccupping occasionally, as Inuyasha stroked her back soothingly while letting off a low growl to calm her. He could still smell the fear that was emitting from her in waves, he had no idea what scared her so badly, she had never acted like this before!
"Why aren't you a sleep?" Inuyasha asked in a whispered tone.
"Can't," Was her only reply from where her head was crushed to Inuyasha's strong chest.
"Are you gonna tell me about what happened?" He felt her stiffen in his arms but he tightened his grip around her waist preventing any movement.
"I can't tell you-"
"Bullshit! You said yourself that you trust me with your life, why can't you tell me? I've told things that I've never told anyone before, so why can't you do the same?" He cut her off. Kagome started to feel guilty, he was right. He had told her things that were hard for him to talk about but she had never told him anything.
She sighed, it was just so hard to talk about what happened almost 4 years ago, it was still like it happened yesterday, "Something bad happened a long time ago and I was there," Kagome said, she didn't want to think about it let alone talk about it, but she was going to try for Inuyasha.
"What happened?" She was talking, even if a little.
"My dad died almost four years ago and it's around this time," She spoke softly, her voice wavering a little.
"How did he pass on?" Inuyasha tried to put it in respectable terms and Kagome appreciated it, he seemed to understand it was hard.
"He was murdered." Kagome stated bluntly without any emotion, Inuyasha shivered at the unexpected and frightening change in her. He slowly put he basic pieces of the puzzle together.
He dad was murdered and she was there, but there must be more, something she wasn't telling him. He figured he got enough information to satisfy his own curiosity tonight, he'll ask Mrs Higurashi in the morning if he can get her alone.
"I'm sorry to hear that," Inuyasha said sympathetically, cuddling her closely, tucking her under his chin and their legs entwining, both soon fell into a deep peaceful slumber still holding each other, this time without the nightmares.
Neither noticed the two sets of eyes peering through the locked window, or the malicious grin on ones dry cracked lips as they spoke to another on a walkie-talkie, "It won't be long boss." Their wicked laughs rang out across the shrine, echoing in the silent night.
Ok, lilybear256 had requested a lemon but I thought it was too early yet so I did a short lime instead, I hope that was ok! (^.^)
Inuyasha knows the basics now and I think most of you should understand what happened now, tell me if anything needs fixing and I'm open for any suggestions! So don't hesitate to tell me.
Preview –
"Kagome told me that her father was murdered around this time of the year last night, is that what is making her upset?"
"Her father was murdered!?" Miroku caught himself just in time, whisper shouting instead, appearing behind Inuyasha.
"Yes, it's true but did she tell you what happened in those two months?" Mama asked.
"What two months?" they both asked.
"It's not exactly my right to say this but I know Kagome would never talk about it, I'm surprised that she told you that." Mama sighed, "It was an ordinary day -"
It's late so I'm going to bed, night people!
