The quiet tranquility of morning in the hallways was broken with: "You!" WHACK! "Stupid!" Whack "Pervert!" WHACK! WHACK! WHACK! Sango hit Miroku with her books between each word. Yes Miroku groped Sango yet again. "But Sango, it's the hand I swear, it's cursed!" "Cursed my butt!" "You're right Sango, I do enjoy your most gorgeous bu…" WHACK! Miroku sighed, "Thus is the life of a lover." "No that's the life of a pervert." Sango huffed.
"Miroku, when will you ever learn." Inuyasha appeared with Kagome at his side. "As if you have a right to talk mutt-face." A familiar wolf-demon spoke up. "It's ok Kagome, I am here now so you don't have to suffer any longer." "Well, uh thank you Koga, but I…" "She doesn't want you, you mangy wolf!" Inuyasha growled. "At least I know how to treat a woman, unlike you mutt." Inuyasha growled even harder and was about to beat Koga into a bloody pulp when Kagome grabbed the sleeve of his red shirt. When Inuyasha looked at Kagome he calmed down instantly. 'What is it about her? Why does she make me feel so calm and content?' he pondered this until he heard, "Well mutt-face don't think that you've won yet, I will win Kagome's heart." With that Koga ran off. "Keh, what a loser."
The bell then rang. It was about 10 minutes in the next period after lunch, the history of weapons. Kagura came into class. "Ummm, Mr. Myoga, Principle Kaede wishes to speak with Kagome." "Oh ok, go on Kagome." Inuyasha, Miroku, Sango, and the rest of the class looked at Kagome. She got up with a confused look on her face and walked out of the classroom with Kagome. As soon as they got near a girls bathroom, she saw Kanna come out of it with ropes. Kagome tried to back away, but Kagura put her fan to Kagome's back, and her other hand to Kagome's mouth. "Not a word, you are coming with us."
They led her to the bathroom and tied her up. "Ok, start talking. Why did you steal Inuyasha away from Kikyo?" Kagura asked. "Now remember don't lie." Kanna brought out a taser (but a taser for demons, which is much stronger than a normal one for demons). "We'll start out on level 1, but if you keep going, we'll eventually have to go up the scale, each time you lie, we notch it up by 1. Now start talking." "What are you talking about? I didn't steal Kikyo!" "LIAR!" She tased Kagome. "Now I'll ask again, why did you steal Inuyasha away from Kikyo?" "But Kikyo broke up with Inuyasha not the other way around!" "That's not true and you know it!" She tased Kagome again this time on level 2.
It kept going higher and higher until it reached level 10. Kagome was then writhing on the ground. "I'll ask you again, why did you steal Inuyasha from Kikyo!" "I keep telling you that I didn't!" "Kagura clearly this isn't working. We might have to take more serious measures." Kanna said blandly. "You're right Kanna." With that she used her fan to slice the ropes on her, cutting her in the process.
They Kagome up the stairs, up two levels and onto the roof. They pushed her outside. "You have one more chance. Tell us the truth." Kagura demanded. Now Kagome was crying, "I swear, I didn't!" Kikyo then pushed her out against the balcony of the roof. She was about to push her off the roof when, "Kagura, remember, we don't want to be charged for murder. I've got a better idea. Come inside with me." With that Kagura let go of Kagome and ran towards the door. The two shut the door, and locked it. Leaving Kagome out in the freezing rain of the storm that had started during lunch.
Kagome started to bang on the door, "Let me in! Let me in!" After twenty minutes she was so cold that she was too weak to try to bang on the door. She sat down and started to cry. After about another thirty minutes, she tried to get up, but because of the cold she fainted.
After school, Inuyasha still couldn't find Kagome, neither did anyone he asked. "Kagome! Kagome where are you!" He checked everywhere. He looked in the forest, he looked in the cafeteria, Sango looked in all the girl's bathrooms. Inuyasha told his two friends to go home and that he would call them once he found her. After they went home, he realized that there was just one place where he hadn't looked. The roof.
He ran up the flights of stairs to the roof. He found that the door was locked. 'That's odd, why is it locked, it never is." He unlocked it to find Kagome unconscious and soaked on the ground. "Kagome!" He touched her forehead with the back of his hand, "Oh no, she's burning up! I have to get her home! No that's not close enough! I know I'll take her to my home!" She started to shiver. He took off his coat and covered her with it to warm her up.
He placed her in his car and went as fast as possible to get her to his home. "Come on Kagome, hang in there!" he pleaded. Her face was pale, and she was still shivering. After what seems like for forever, he finally got to his home. Thankfully his brother, who was a successful doctor was home, and thankfully his wife was home as well. He knew if he could get Rin to like Kagome there was no way Sesshomaru would say no. Good thing Rin liked everybody.
"Inuyasha you're home! Who's that! Come on let's get her inside." A beautiful girl in her twenties said. She was a beautiful lady with black hair that went to her shoulders. "Sesshomaru, come over here quickly! It's an emergency!" Sesshomaru appeared. "Please help her dear." He sighed, "Ok, put her in a guest bedroom," "No," Inuyasha interjected, "put her into my bedroom, it's closer." He carried her into his bedroom and onto his red satin waterbed.
Kagome was shaking, her breath was short and staggered, her skin felt like it was burning up. "Let's see, Inuyasha get an ice pack and some of that purple liquid medicine that's in my bag." Sesshomaru said."She also looks like she has been injured, I'll trust you to that Rin, you are much better at dressing wounds than I am."
Sesshomaru and Inuyasha, after giving Kagome the medicine were kicked out by Rin. She said they were making her lose her concentration, Inuyasha from his whimpering and growling, Sesshomaru because of his complaining.
Kagome woke up to someone rubbing a salve on her back. "Ah, so you are awake. Kagome right?" Kagome nodded, "so Kagome, how are you feeling?" "Fine." "You're a bad liar." "W-what!?" "I can feel you wincing. Besides, you also have a fever and multiple wounds. If it's okay, I'll let Inuyasha, Miroku, and Sango in now." She nodded.
"Kagome, how are you? Are you ok?" Sango pounced on her. "I'm ok." "You're a bad liar." "Why does everyone say that?!" "Well look at you! You're pale, you have a fever, and multiple wounds. How can you be ok?!" Now Inuyasha spoke up, "What happened Kagome?" Kagome's eyes dropped to her lap, her bangs covering her eyes. "What happened to Kagome?" Inuyasha said more demandingly. "They asked me question, I told them the truth but they didn't believe me, so they used a demon taser on me. Then they locked me outside on the roof. You know the rest." She said quietly, almost a whisper. "Who did it Kagome?" she stayed quiet, "Kagomeeeee" he started to growl. Miroku placed a hand on Inuyasha's shoulder "Inuyasha, let's let her sleep. She needs her rest. She's had a rough time both physically and emotionally." "Fine," with that the group went out. Kagome instantly fell asleep.
Kagome's dream
"Tie her up!" The group shoved her over to a pile of logs with a stake in the middle. They tied her up to it, and they threw 5 lit matches into the pile. The smoke stung her eyes, the flames licked her ankles. It burned her feet. "Burn the freak!" "Yeah, burn the witch!" she could hear from the crowd around her. "Please stop! Let me go!" she pleaded, crying half from lost hope, half from the smoke. The smoke started to choke her, and she was losing consciousness. The last thing she saw was a flash of silver, and she was carried away from the fire.
Back to Reality
"Kagome!" someone was shaking her, the voice was masculine, "Kagome wake up!" Her eyes fluttered open. Inuyasha let out a sigh of relief. "Are you ok? You were tossing and turning in your sleep." Kagome blushed. "I-I'm fine, thank you Inuyasha." She tried to sit up, "Take it easy Kagome, don't overdo it." He gently leaned her back down. "Inuyasha, where am I?" "You're in my room." She eyed him suspiciously. "It isn't what you think it might be, you were in a critical condition and my room was the closest." He explained quickly, his face was flushed. Kagome giggled, "Ok, I believe you."
By the time that it was around dinner time, Kagome was well enough to eat dinner with everyone else. Inuyasha informed her that his parents were home. Rin (in a cream dress) and Sango (in a hot pink dress) helped her get clean herself up and get ready for dinner. She wore a beautiful forest green dress with a white sweater. Inuyasha changed in a guest bedroom; he was in a handsome black suit with a red and silver tie. He then helped Kagome get to dinner because she was still a little weak from the sickness. She saw Sesshomaru in a white suit, edged in red. Miroku was wearing a purple suit. Then there was Inuyasha's parents. His mother was beautiful. She was wearing a pink dress with a floral pattern. His father was wearing a white suit, like Sesshomaru's, but was edged with blue. When Inuyasha's parents saw Kagome, his mother gasped, and his father stood up clearly surprised.
Well, well, well. It seems like Kagome has forgotten what people do to freaks. Maybe we should remind her." "Yes I agree, but Naraku, what about her friends, what about Inuyasha?" "He is of no matter to me Byakuya. We'll deal with him soon enough, and when he's gone, we'll strike." Naraku started to laugh evilly, clearly pleased with his little plan. Oh yes, he would be looking forward to torturing his favorite miko.
Why are Inuyasha's parents surprised at seeing Kagome? Do they know her? And what is Naraku planning? Find out in my next chapter.
