Venom

Series: Spectacular Spiderman


Kagome sighed lightly as she sat in the small room, the room she called home. With its bland white walls, her bed, a desk and a dresser as the only other things besides herself that occupied it. There was also an adjoined bathroom but in all honestly it didn't matter. A prison cell was still a prison cell no matter how fancy it was.

That's what this room was, it was a prison cell, one she hated and loved at the same time. She hated it because she was forced to stay here yet she loved it because it allowed her to stay by his side. Even after he had shown up at her house, kidnapped her, and forced her to stay in this little room…

She loved him.

Some would call it Stockholm syndrome and some would call it denial, or being stupid, foolish, etc. But as far as she was concerned it was love in its purest form so they could all kiss her ass. She would literally bend over, pull down her skirt and panties for them so they could line up to kiss her pale Japanese ass. Then again she doubted he, no they would allow that.

They had been friends since they had met at college and a few weeks after their initial meeting they started going out. It was only after the fiasco with his best friend Peter Parker and his part time job that things started to go downhill. He was always angry, always grouchy and more often than not their dates ended up in her having to listen to him rant and rave about Peter and how he had ruined everything.

Even so she still stayed, what kind of a person would she be if she left the man she loved when things got a bit rough?

Her eyes darkened at that thought, she'd be her father if she did that. Her father had left her mother when she was diagnosed with cancer…needless to say her mother was now cured, no thanks to him. The only reason she had agreed to move in with him three years ago, leaving her native land of Japan for New York, was because he had money. Enough to put her through college, after which she would leave him just like he left them. Then again being kidnapped and forced to stay in a little room kind of put a damper on her academic career, oh well it wasn't her money that was wasted.

But, that was not the issue, no, not anymore. The issue was that the man she loved had become someone else, something else and yet…she still loved him. Through all his anger, angst, rage, and self pity she knew he just wanted to be loved…so she loved him.

It worked…for a time, he was back to normal no longer providing the negative energy that that thing lived off of…yet in the end it didn't matter that thing won and he was once again back to how he used to be. Full of anger and rage, even so it, they, kept her around, under lock and key.

She was theirs, the only thing they cared about, and dare she say it…loved.

She jumped as the door to her room was thrown open and turned to look at who did it, a small smile on her face, knowing all to well who it was.

"Welcome home." There he stood his body heaving with rage, the suit covering his full form; he must have lost another battle with Spiderman.

Venom stared at her, taking in her small form and felt a bit of his rage waver, yet it was still there right under the surface.

They had lost another battle against Petey and they were forced to run, their tail between their legs. But that was okay because they had the one thing Petey would never have. Some one that loved them no matter what they did, no matter who they hurt, their Kagome would always be waiting for them when they got home.

"Kagome."His voice was layered over by that thing, even so she smiled more.

Venom sighed as he walked into her room and paused mid step.

They did not want to hurt her, not again…the last time they were in her room they lost their temper when she called them by that name…they did not want a repeat performance…they didn't want her to fear them…to stop loving them…

Kagome let her smile fade, seeing his insecurity and his fear. They were afraid of hurting her again. Her hand ran over the scared flesh of her left arm, it still hurt to this day but it was a reminder. A reminder of when she realized that to love only half of the man was wrong. After that day, that incident, she learned to love all of him, them. That was not to say she approved of what they were doing but she would stand behind them, be there to love them and offer them comfort when they needed it, needed her.

It was obvious that they needed her now and she would be there for them. She stood up and walked over to them, stopping inches in front of them. She offered them a smile letting them decided how to proceed.

Venom felt a warm feeling rise in his chest before it was washed over by anger, even so they pulled her into their arms. A bit too roughly judging by her pained gasp but they pushed it aside when she wrapped her arms around them.

"We're home."As always his voice was over layered by that things, even so she smiled. It was just another part of the man she loved. She loved him, them, and they loved her. If anyone had a problem with that they, like she said before, could kiss her ass.

This was a far cry from the happily ever after's of story books but even as a young child she liked to differ from the norm. All that mattered was that was she was loved and loved in return, for what more could someone ask for?
