Only You Can Take Care Of Her!
Soon, it was dark outside and Kagome and Inuyasha had been asleep all day. Kagome had cuddled up into Inuyasha's warm chest as she slept peacefully. She had barely moved since she had been asleep and neither had Inuyasha. Inuyasha slowly woke up in the dead of the night. He yawned quietly and looked at the small child in his arms, still sleeping. He carefully moved his arm and placed his hand on her forehead. He smiled at the fact at Kagome's fever went away. He looked over the gang, which had fallen asleep earlier. Kagome soon yawned and stretched.
"I-I is awake!" She yawned.
"Hello, Kagome. It's passed your bedtime, but we've been asleep all day. You must be hungry. What do you wanna eat?" Inuyasha smiled as he rubbed her cheek.
"F-fish..." Kagome answered.
"Alright. You wanna come with me?" Inuyasha asked.
"Stay with Inu-kun!" Kagome yawned.
Inuyasha picked her up and walked toward the nearest stream. It was hard to see in the darkness, but when they reached the stream, the full moon shone brightly enough for the water turn transparent. Kagome was amazed at how the moon could shine so brightly.
"Inu-kun? Why is the moon so bright?" Kagome asked.
"Well, the sun light is reflecting off of the moon, making it shine."
"Sooo, the moon is a big mirror?" Kagome asked.
"Kinda." Inuyasha chuckled.
Kagome pointed at the water and smiled as she saw a fish.
"Fish!" Kagome giggled.
"Good eye. Now, sit right here on this rock and watch the master." Inuyasha smirked as he awaited a fish.
They waited silently as many small fish swam passed Inuyasha. Kagome was confused and wondered why Inuyasha hadn't caught any. Just then, a large fish was swimming right toward Inuyasha. Inuyasha slowly stepped into the stream and shivered lightly as the cold water touched his bare feet. The fish slowly approached him. Inuyasha was just about to grab the fish, when it swam right in between his feet and made him fall backward. Cold water splashed all over Inuyasha. He shivered and huffed.
"Inu-kun! You so silly!" Kagome laughed as she helped him stand.
"Thanks, I'll be here all week." Inuyasha shivered.
"You cold, Inu-kun?" Kagome asked as she felt his cold wet hand.
"Just a little. Let's get you some fish. This time he won't get away." He smiled as he shook off the water like a dog.
"Ok!" Kagome smiled.
Shortly after he entered the water again, he had caught many small fish. Kagome was impressed that Inu-kun could catch fish with his bare hands. Maybe one day she could do that too! Inuyasha set up a small campfire and skewered the fish onto small twigs and placed them near the fire.
"Is Inu-kun warm now?" Kagome asked.
"Yes, I'm fine."
"Ok." Kagome looked into the fire with somehow sad eyes.
"Kagome? Are you alright? You look sad?" He asked.
"Why do daddy no like me?" Kagome asked sadly and quietly.
"Huh? Daddy?"
"Daddy no like me…dat why he…" Kagome stopped as tears formed in her eyes.
"Kagome?" Inuyasha held her close and rubbed her head. "What's wrong? You don't have to tell me if you don't wanna…"
"Daddy hittted me…A-and o-other things…" Kagome started to sob loudly into Inuyasha's chest.
"W-what? D-daddy hit you?"
"I-it started w-when mommy and daddy started yellin at each other!" Kagome hiccupped before she continued. "D-daddy say 'Kagome! Why do you have to be such a pain in my ass, all the damn time?!' Dat when daddy start hitting me…a-and den after dat...Daddy make me…" Kagome trembled as she took a big breath.
"Daddy made me...t-touch him…." Kagome got quieter and quieter.
"Wait, d-did daddy ever touch you?" Inuyasha asked sternly.
Kagome sobbed loudly as she nodded. Inuyasha was soon filled with hatred for Kagome's father.
"'Kagome be a good girl and let daddy do want he wants!'" Kagome quoted her father.
"Kagome, where is your daddy right now?" Inuyasha growled as he held her closely.
"I dunno…He leftd…"
Inuyasha sighed as he held Kagome close and thought to himself;
"I will find him…and he WILL pay for what he did to Kagome. I swear it!"
