Recap: "Yes it is, Inuyasha, because from this day forward I want nothing to do with you, Inuyasha!"
Chapter 9: Forgive me…
Inuyasha stared into kagome's enraged eyes, looking for something in them that said she was lying. He saw nothing, but only saw rage.
"K-kagome…you can't be serious!" he finally yelled after a moment, just as the students formed a circle around the three of them.
"He beat you! You can't possibly want to go back to that!" he yelled more pleadingly.
Naraku frowned behind kagome.
"What's wrong Inuyasha? Not accustomed to being publicly humiliated?" he taunted as he wrapped his arms tighter around kagome's waist.
Inuyasha growled, but kept his eyes locked with kagome's looking for something that would give some clue to him why she was acting like this. Of course, he saw nothing but pure anger and something he didn't expect…hate… Inuyasha recoiled again as the kids behind him pushed back to give him room in case he tried something. Kagome's face went hard as she seemed to scream something at Inuyasha through her eyes.
"Kagome please... you can't really mean this… I...I…" Inuyasha stuttered unable to finish his sentence.
"Go…Away…Inuyasha." she said in a wicked voice that Inuyasha forgot it was kagome he was speaking to
Inuyasha stared from kagome in disbelief and then to naraku with rage. He glared as him as a low growl escaped his throat.
"What did you do to her? This isn't Kagome!" Inuyasha roared, his eyes glazing over red for the briefest moment.
"Shut up Inuyasha! I'm not a child! I made this decision on my own!" Kagome yelled.
Inuyasha looked back to kagome and sighed longingly. He turned around quickly but not before kagome saw his eyes turn glassy. He rushed through the crowd and away from the school.
"Excellent." He whispered in her ear before biting it softly.
Kagome stared blankly in the direction Inuyasha had fled, trying with every fiber of her being not to run after him.
"Please forgive me when this is over Inuyasha…" kagome thought to herself, "Please don't hate me…I love you…"
Inuyasha ran swiftly through the crowed street with no apparent destination in thought. He fought back the urge to go back and kill naraku in front of all the humans and steal HIS kagome back.
"What is going on…that couldn't have been kagome…" he whispered to himself as he narrowly dodged a SUV.
Inuyasha ran faster until he spotted a trashcan. He reached into his shirt pocket and pulled out a small black box. He held it tightly in his hands as his eyes began to burn.He moved it so it was above the small smelly trashcan. He hesitated and stared at the small box in his had. It taunted him silently with the precious package it held inside it leather outter case. He growled and pulled it away from the trashcan and shoved it back in his pocket.
"Damnit…" he whispered as he took off running again.
He pulled the box from his pocket again and stared at it as he ran.
"I know he's doing something to make you act like this kagome…I won't give up…" Inuyasha squeezed the box and smiled slightly. "I couldn't give up on you if I wanted to…"
Inuyasha ran faster to his home ignoring the startled gasp of people on the sidewalk and the constant honking of horns when he dashed out in front of a car. Inuyasha reached his house in a matter of minutes, but stopped on the sidewalk in front of the gate. He sniffed the air and went ridged.
"It can't be..." he whispered as he dashed to the front door.
He went to unlock it, but when he put his key in the door swung limply open, hitting the wall behind it. Inuyasha looked into the dark house, scanning every inch of the living room. He could see a dark figure sitting on the middle couch that was now facing the door. Long black hair stood out, even in the pitch black darkness. Inuyasha reached for the light switch next to him. Not letting his eyes stray from the figure sitting on the couch. He flipped the switch and the room was immediately illuminated. Black pale eyes stared into Inuyasha's.
"It's nice to see you again, Inuyasha."
Kagome walked through the halls silently, ignoring the whispering and stares the students were giving her. Naraku had let soon after Inuyasha had. He had said it was none of her business.
"Kagome! Are you okay!? I just heard what happened!" said a high pitched voice.
Kagome turned to see her friend crying.
"Oh my gosh! Kagome I have been so worried!" said the small girl as she hugged her friend.
Kagome stared at her face hot and red from holding back tears.
"Rin I'm fine…" kagome whispered her voice becoming raspy.
"Kagome, why were you with naraku? And where did Inuyasha go?" asked Rin, staring into kagome's eyes.
Kagome looked away from her friend. Her eyes became glassy as she remembered the horrible things she had had to say to Inuyasha not even an hour earlier.
"Kagome?" Rin whispered, "What happened?" Rin grabbed kagome's shoulder and made kagome face her.
Kagome looked at Rin. Her face was hard and serious. She had never seen Rin like this before. Kagome continued to stare at rin until it was too much; she broke down crying in Rin's arms. She cried onto rin's shoulder until it was thoroughly drenched.
"Rin what have I done? The way he looked at me…I wanted to die rin! I wanted to die!" Kagome yelled and went to crying on rin's other sleeve.
"Come on kagome." Rin said as she pulled kagome to her feet.
Kagome continued to sob as rin pulled her toward the bathroom.
"Kikiyo what are you doing here?" Inuyasha whispered as if he didn't want someone to hear him.
"Don't worry Inuyasha, Sessomaru isn't here" she answered, reading his mind.
"…" Inuyasha shut the door behind him and sat down in a chair about ten feet away from where kikiyo sat.
"What's wrong Inuyasha? I thought you would be happy to see me." Kikiyo did a mock sad face and stood up and walked to a window.
"Kikiyo…I thought you were…" Inuyasha paused.
"Dead? No…if you would have stayed instead of running off at the first bad thing you would have known that I wasn't in a coma…just unconscious." She stared out the window and looked as I she was concentrating on something.
Inuyasha was silent and looked away from her for the briefest moment. When he looked back to her, she was gone.
"Kikiyo?!"
He went to stand up, but was pushed back down in his seat. He looked up to see kikiyo standing over him.
"How did you get here…?" he finally asked.
Kikiyo frowned again and walked away from Inuyasha. She leaned on a wall next to him and crossed her arms across her chest.
"Why are you talking like you don't want me here Inuyasha…It's your fault I was in the hospital in the first place Inuyasha!" she yelled.
Inuyasha flinched uncomfortably in his seat.
"Kikiyo…I blame myself everyday for what happened to you…, but I told you before that I couldn't control…my…appetite…" Inuyasha said almost silently.
"Appetite? You mean that little demon inside? You could have warned me about that before your eyes turned red and you tried to rape me!" Kikiyo screamed.
""Kikiyo…I'm sorry…I have been working on it! I'm not like that anymore!" Inuyasha yelled in his defense.
"Oh really?"
"Yes!"
Kikiyo walked back over to Inuyasha and wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled his face close to hers.
"Prove it." She whispered and pulled his lips to meet hers.
"Kagome…how could you do that to Inuyasha?" whispered Rin after kagome told her what happened.
"I had to Rin! He's never going to let me and Inuyasha be together! I have to find a way to stop him…as long as I obey him he won't get suspicious…"
Rin stared at the sniffling kagome. She had never seen kagome this pained before. So weak and frail, like a small new born kitten. Rin threw her arms around kagome and held her tightly.
"Everything is going to be okay kagome… I promise you that. Inuyasha will understand when this is over…he loves you, kagome." Rin whispered in kagome's ear.
Kagome clutched rin's shirt and smiled as tears still flowed from her eyes.
"Thank you, Rin…Thank you…" kagome whispered back and wiped her eyes with her finger tips.
Kagome dried her face and fanned her eyes until the redness went away. She hugged Rin again before they both left the bathroom. They walked through the hallways. They were much to quiet for a high school. Rin peeked into a classroom, empty… Kagome peeked into another, empty…
"Kagome, what's going on? Where is everyone?" Rin asked as she looked into another empty classroom.
"I don't know…" rin answered as they walked down the deserted hallway.
"I'm going to check the office you check the teacher's lunge, okay?"
Kagome nodded and went the opposite way to the teacher's lounge.
Kagome had just turned the knob to the teacher's lounge when she heard a scream.
"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhh!!!"
"Rin!" kagome screamed and ran to the front of the school to the office.
"Rin! Where are you?!" kagome yelled as she looked up and down the hallways.
Kagome turned a hallway and tripped over something. She turned back and what she saw made her blood run cold. Rin lie on the ground. Her face froze in expressionless horror.
Kagome suddenly struggled for air as she crawled over to her friend who was sprawled out on the tiled ground.
"R-rin…?" Kagome whispered as she took in a big gulp of air.
Kagome put her hand on rin's skin, it was cold as ice.
"Rin! Rin no! Don't leave me!" kagome screamed and picked up the motionless body.
"Rin wake up! Wake up! Please Rin!" kagome choked as she cradled her head in her arms.
"Rin…why…" Kagome whispered as tears ran down a familiar trail on her cheek.
Kagome used two finger and closed rin's eyes as her tears spilled onto rin's childish face.
"Who took you from me rin…?" she whispered.
"Who? I'll give you one guess." Said a deep voice behind kagome.
Kagome didn't even have to turn around to know who it was.
"Naraku…"kagome almost growled, "You did this to rin?" kagome didn't turn to face him.
"What? That little Incantation? I could take it off easily." He said calmly and began to walk to kagome.
Kagome jerked her head around and met his gaze.
"Then do it! Give me back Rin!" she screamed.
"Ooo…but you see…you have to do something for me first my puppet." A smile spread across is narrow face.
"What…" kagome growled and laid her friend carefully back on the ground.
"Since you are now mine…I can do what I please with you…and I know exactly what I want to do with you if you catch my drift." He snickered and waked closer to kagome and wrapped his cold arms around her.
"What…" kagome asked coldly.
He moved his lips to her ear.
"Everything."
