Chapter 2: Garden of Eden

The silence of the night was interrupted with the faint sound of blood drops hitting the ground. The sound rang in Kagome's ear with the rhythm of her pounding heartbeat. He was strong…she knew he was, yet he didn't even try to defend himself. He had kept looking at her, unraveling her nerves and making her uneasy. The way he looked at her, with such a vulnerable longing, crushed her maddened will. Monsters can't look like that and she didn't want all of her will and determination to avenge her father to disappear. She knew vampires lived in the human world, some were even good…There was a system that night dwellers go by. Usually vampires have human feeders they called Victus for convenience or if they went hunting, their victim were left unconscious or dead without evidence leading to Night Society. If a night dweller defied this, his sect would hunt him down to protect their name. In most cases, most victims were brutally murdered and fed upon, the only thing left was the debauched corpse that was hidden away to rot. Like her father.

Which sect did this vampire belong to? Solstice sect? Dsme sect? Holy sect?! Did it matter if they were good or not…? Shouldn't she just kill them one my one?...These thoughts had tormented her mind after witnessing her father's slaughter and it continuously droned in her sleep. She wanted to kill them all…but she couldn't because she knew…deep down…they were being with emotions too…

She's met some in the past…some were cops, teachers…people in society just wanting to blend in peacefully. She couldn't blindly rampage the streets at night with blood thirst anymore. She didn't want to be like the vampire that killed her father. She didn't want to be a monster too.

"Which sect are you from-m…" Her throat knotted and constricted tightly making it difficult to speak. Kagome breathed deeply, trying to reclaim some composure. Gripping her silver tipped blade, she positioned herself to give fewer openings. "Why did you kidnap me?!" Depending on his answer, she would decide wheatear simply break his legs and leave or kill him mercilessly. With her mind devoid of memories of her father, she felt herself reaffirming her identity as a night hunter again.

"aHhaah, you've got to be kidding me! Is this Naraku's new scheme to torment me?!" Inuyasha stood, his wounds neglected as he hollered into the night. Naraku wanted him dead…but to die by insanity?! That's EXACTLY something only that bastard would think of. Reverting back to a stable mentality, Inuyasha side stepped into Kagome's other side away from the sword. Within that millisecond, quickly slashed downward at the arm and knocked the weapon to the ground. The hand losing grip of the sword tightened and came at his face as a fist only to be blocked by his other hand. This time, he was surprised to see her elbow reared back and then swung upward toward his chin. Before he had time to consider his actions, he slammed his fist into her stomach, sending her to the cement with a loud thud before he took any damage.

"……Don't raise your weapon at me again. Your attempts will just get you killed." It annoyed him. She had her face. Her scent. Everything looked the same but he knew it wasn't her. Giving out a large sigh, Inuyasha walked over to the girl. "If Naraku didn't plan this, I'm going to have to take you with me." He leaned forward and held out his hand only for it to be slap away before she rolled over to her other side.

cough cough "What the hell are you taking about?" Kagome managed to whisper coarsely while pushing herself up. "So you did want to kidnap me? To torture me, feed off me? I'd rather die!" Staggering back to her feet, she held her fist up again in sheer defiance. "BITE ME!" She hissed, grabbing a small hidden knife sheathed around her leg.

clap clap "I would certainly love to my dear." Narako emerged from around the ally way. "I was hoping to keep you a secret so I could have you to myself, but alas, we have been interrupted." With a smirk, he gave a signal and two vampires came forth from the shadows and knelt at his side. "Dispatch of him and capture that girl." At Narako command, Inuyasha had a split second to dash in front of Kagome.

"You coward." Inuyasha spat. His fangs and claws lengthened in preparation for the fight that ensued before Kagome. In her eyes, it was nothing more than a blur. How could she be so weak? All of her training was trivial in comparison to what was before her. She could clearly see the difference between these vampires and herself. The other night dwellers she had defeated in the past were nothing compared to them. What generation were they? Tenth or higher?! No matter how much she trained, she was still human without any special powers. Her family line wasn't even a lineage to any class of witches. But still, that doesn't mean she would meekly stand there. Focusing on their movements, her eyes slowly adapted to their velocity. Although it wasn't precise, she was starting to be able to pin point their location from time to time. Before she had the chance to dash forward, the white haired vampire was once again in front of her. The other two had been pushed back, one flung into a near by building. However, both parties had taken great damage. Kagome could unmistakably see the previous wound on Inuyasha's back healing but among the new wounds all over his arms, none had ceased to stop bleeding.

"Ah Dammit…you're never were one to play fair...piece of shit." The wounds were taking too long heal because some of his energy was used up. 'They are underestimating me. Only two fourth generations…but the problem is the girl. I can't stop Naraku from taking her alone.' He needed some time. All he had to do was stall and make sure they didn't take her. Luckily he checked the victim Naraku preyed upon last night. It was strange for Naraku to find a human while being wounded, yet he did not take her blood to restore his energy. When he chanced upon Naraku again after wounding him, Naraku's inflicted injury was healing slowly. If he was correct, she must be…

He needed more time!

"Trust me…" Inuyasha whispered. Kagome reeled in from shock at the suggestion, but at that moment, everything was shocking to her. 'Trust the one that kidnapped me…from that others that want to KIDNAP ME?!' Kagome looked past Inuyasha's shoulder in the direction of the three vampires. One…she could at least take on one of them. Clutching onto her sword, she moved to stand by the white hair vampire's side. "Then let me fight too."

He had to smile at that. She was one of the most stubborn…belligerent person he has ever met. She just wouldn't roll over and play dead, and this was going to cause him trouble. Grabbing onto her arm, he looked sideways at her. "Just this once…don't do anything and stay behind me." Then, he let go of her and the battle continued. The head vampire held a crocked smirk and was advancing forward towards her step by step.

'Come…COME!' His eyes were locked onto her, trying to mesmerize her. Kagome's feet were grounded to the floor. She wanted to move back but she couldn't break completely from his mind control. Thankfully she could proudly say she had enough control to disobey him.

Meanwhile, Inuyasha had just successfully side kick one of the vampires, sending him several feet to the right. Both of Naraku's minions were weak with fatigue but continued to try to detain him. And, blocking an attack from the other, Inuyasha found a chance to return to Kagome's side before Naraku could get within reach of her.

With remarkable swiftness, Naraku retreated a few paces away from Inuyasha as he soon felt annoyingly familiar presence of other night dwellers. "If I had known you had been so nosy as to look into by feeding habits, I would have brought more suitable opponents." And with these words, Naraku turned and the three vampires vanished. Finally free from the mind control, Kagome fell to her knees from sheer mental exhaustion.

"About time you guys got here." Inuyasha sneered and two new night walkers materialize before them. "Sorrrryy." The man said, walking side by side with a raven haired woman. "I didn't think Naraku would act so early, and then most traces of you seemed to be blocked out somehow!" Kagome guessed the exotic woman is around twenty years old, but then again, that's just what she appears to be and not what she is.

"Woah…so it's true!" She perked, looking directly at Kagome's face. "Let's go home." The white haired vampire snapped, his strength was drained and he felt his temper about to explode. Skillfully back flipping to her feet, Kagome withdrew a few steps away from everyone. "I'm not going with you." She said calmly while berating herself for trusting him. At the time, it was better to hope this one won over the other three. Her chance of defeating one wounded vampire rather than three was her reasoning, but now she was up against three again.

"You don't have to be scared of -" The new male started but was interrupted as Inuyasha closed the distance with Kagome and knocked her out.

"Why did you do that!? She's going to be PMSing later." Miroku whined. Sango whacked Inuyasha over the head out of irritation. "What!? If you knew how annoying his girl is you would do the same thing!" He grumbled. He knew she would struggle the whole way back to the mansion. Even without weapons, he's sure she would claw at him…probably yank as his hair too.

"You're going to have to take care of her. You caused the misunderstanding you idiot." Sango eyed him. The look meant: Don't go running to me for help. Idiiooott.

And with that, the three departed with the unconscious girl.

"Damn wench! Stop throwing stuff at me!" "Then let me go!" "Just listen first!" "After you let me go!" With that, Inuyasha slammed the door close before another vase was thrown and smashed into the door.

"Can't you understand the situation here?! I kidnapped you so you have to listen to what I say!" "YAAAAAAAAA! I can't believe I trusted you!" Then came another crash and there goes another plate.

"I can't believe you said that to her. I swear you are so stupid." Sango sighed. Really, telling her she is a captive is supposed help the situation? "Inuyasha, just let her calm down first. YOU can explain things to her later." Sango emphasized 'you' to make sure he knew she wasn't going to help. She was busy as it is with small rebellious groups popping up in the Solstice and Lunar sect. At the most, Miroku and she won't be back for a week. Inuyasha was going to have to deal with this problem at least for that long.

"Serves you right you know." "Shut up, I wasn't going to ask you for help anyways!" Inuyasha fumed. It was embarrassing as hell. He was a first generation vampire lord and a damn human girl was yelling and throwing stuff at him. "I really don't want our help?" Miroku smirked, slapping the vampire's back.

Instead of denying it, Inuyasha didn't reply and stalked away. "I have the feeling that when we get back, he's going to be begging us." Miroku chuckled at the thought but then became serious. "We'd better head over to the White Class' mansion and ask the higher up witches what they make of this. An immortal can't possibly reincarnate and they are too indistinguishable to be a coincidence."

"I wonder…what Naraku did to Kikyou than…"

"…We can try to purify and contain the blood again…my dear Kikyou, just wait, my plan is finally starting to unfold."
It has been only four days…and the fifth attempt to escape! "Would you stop already?!" Inuyasha yelled, dragging an outraged Kagome by the wrist. He placed a guard in front of her door and she tries to kill the guard before escaping. He increased it to two guards and when they guided her down to the kitchen to get food, she runs off. Of course she was found only later on, unable to find the exit. Another time she ran off, he ended up having to search for her personally in the enormous mansion because she had scattered her clothing with her scent beforehand. He had locked the room and she tries to climb out the window. He ended up waiting for her at the bottom as she climbed slowly in the dead of the night and ended up being slapped. But this time! This is absolutely outrageous! How she had ever got it into her mind to plan this is unthinkable to him! Not only did she almost manage to actually reach the exit, she also managed to humiliate him!

"Dammit woman!" He pulled her into yet another new room. This time, she knew there weren't enough cloth to climb out the window. The room was on the highest floor, and unlike the other neat yet vacant room, this one was draped and decorated in fine silk and velvet. The bed was even larger than the ones before and the room itself seemed…what is the word? It seemed more masculine to her…

"Damn, if I had known you would be this much trouble I wouldn't have told you I wouldn't hurt you!" Inuyasha had regretted his words immensely after assuring her she wouldn't be harmed that first day. Of course he said it in a different way, more like "I'm not going to hurt you, you stupid bit so just cooperate already!" He had tried to assure her nothing bad was going to happen but it did, bad things kept happening to HIM. If work and other affairs weren't enough to keep him busy during the day, at night he had to be tormented by her screaming at him. If not that, his own guards went to plea with him to reassign them. His ears ached. His head ached. Now his body is being tortured and aching.

"Just tell me…" His eye couldn't stop twitching out to irritation. "How the hell did you think of this?" He was trying not to shout at her or this throat was going to ache as well. Kagome knew she was pushing him off the edge and he could easily kill her. But, surprisingly, she found out she could trust him not to hurt her. He hadn't even lifted a figure at her and it baffled her. He yelled and swore at her constantly but he was patient with her. Why didn't he just give her water and bread instead of food from his own kitchen? Why not a dungeon? It was always a room with a window facing the beautiful garden of flowers before the mansion gates. Why wait patiently below as she climbed down instead throw a dagger and let her fall on the grass? He was full of contradictions. But still, she will escape and she will not cooperate.

"Tell me! How did conjure up the idea to tell everyone that I WANTED YOU TO SHARE MY BED TONIGHT?!" The amber eyed vampire roared. He couldn't take it anymore. She told the guards MEEKLY while blushing that their lord had desired her so she had to prepare herself tonight. They prepared her a bath filled with flowers and scented soap and even gave her new clothes. Of course, while the guards patrolled outside the entrance of the bath, she knocked out the maid servant and changed into the girl's clothes. Because of her body was fused with the smell of flowers she was able to make it out to the flower garden unnoticed. Of course it worked out completely. She had escaped enough times to know the way around the mansion and where the exit doors were. She had the path out of the garden and the position of the patrol memorized by analyzing it from her window to avoid unnecessary encounters. She found a way to go unnoticed by anyone since she disguised her scent and appearance by assuming the role of the daily servant girl that picks and arrange flowers.

If he hadn't just returned she would have just skipped her way out the gates without being detected. There was only one thing that shocked him more than her cunning mind that thought about almost every detail. From the position to the timing, the clothing, the servant and guard's specific job, and even their clothing, he couldn't believe she had everything planned out. But the fact that all his subordinates believe he wanted to sleep with…SATIN IN A HUMAN FEMALE FORM almost gave him a heart attack.

"Tell me!" Kagome reared back a bit. Although he wouldn't hurt her, she found herself being hurt every time he raised his voice at her. It started hurting her more every day.

"Just..it's just that…" Kagome looked down at her feet. She felt her blood rushing and she knew she was blushing. The only she could do was look down to hide from embarrassment.

The way she looked at the moment took his breath away. She smelled sweetly of flowers and her cheeks flushed deeply. She looked so uncomfortable he wanted to laugh out loud. Until this moment he would have never been able to imagine the strong willed vixen he has grown accustomed to looking like this.

"Before…sometimes I hear them saying…the maids I mean…" Kagome didn't know why she was stumbling over her words! She should be proudly shouting out how she cunningly though of such a plan! But she couldn't…she has never felt so tongue tied in her life!

"They say I looked…when you're not here…the older maids say that I looked like someone…" Everything made sense to him now. Kikyou. The older vampire maids that were with him since back then knew about her. The two new guards he entrusted Kagome with were his trusted friends since then as well. They knew about her…Instantly, Inuyasha turned his back to Kagome and started putting his things away. He was trying to keep himself busy, to do something, anything. He wanted to do anything rather than think about her while looking at Kagome.

Kagome was thankful that he had turned his back on her. If he hadn't she didn't think she would ever finish her next sentence without looking like an idiot. "So I thought I looked like your former mistress…and I mean…sometimes…" This was as much she could say without flushing again. "The way you look at me sometimes…was like you-" "You smell like the Garden of Eden." He interrupted. He was facing her again and with the same eyes when she first met him and several times during the past few days, although they looked somewhat heartbroken now. Although he did it discreetly, she would find him glancing her way with such tender eyes that she felt her resistance slipping away from her.

"Huh..Garden of Eden…?" "I named the flower garden outside that." "Oh…" What was she expecting? Nothing. She wasn't expecting anything at all she told herself.

"You will be sharing this room with me from now on." "HUHHHHH?!" And Kagome snapped.

Please review! I really hoped you liked it! I'm in college and actually working starting in two weeks but I really want to continue writing this story!

Chapter 3: Belligerent to the End? (will be posted next Friday!! Feb 22nd 2008) Please vote on my poll too!

So does that mean Inuyasha DID want to sleep with Kagome? Because she looked like Kikyou?! Will he ever be able to explain to her the situation and will she actually cooperate?

And the week is finally up! Sango and Miroku have returned from the White Class with information that will change Kagome's life. And why is it that the two look so familiar to her? She has seen their faces before although she lives somewhat at an isolated edge of the city. What are they exactly if not vampires and what is the white haired vampire with the dog ears?!

I think the next chapter will be funny. I wrote this in two days out of inspiration. Hopefully something good pops out again for Chapter 3!
