Chapter 9
Kagome's POV
I'm in the kitchen, because Vegeta asked me to get some water for Goku. I get a glass out of the cupboard and fill it with water. I turn around to see Zuko walk in.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Nothing, just getting Goku some water."
Ah, I see." I walk past Zuko to leave the kitchen. All of a sudden, I hear something hit the floor. I turn around and see Zuko on the floor in pain. I start to move toward him, but then I see the blood. I gasp and drop the glass I'm holding. The cup shatters and some of the pieces get stuck in my leg. I scream and fall to the floor. I crawl over to Zuko to see what's wrong, only to see that he's not breathing.
I hear someone enter the room, but I'm frozen. I can't move.
"Kagome? Kagome, what happened?" I hear a voice say. I know that voice, but whose is it?
"Kagome answer me!" I hear him yell. That's right, it's Vegeta. I shake my head.
"What do you mean 'no'?" He says. I just continue to shake my head. He pulls me away from Zuko. I don't fight back, because at the moment, I can't. I hear Gohan enter the room and he goes over to Zuko with Dende. I see Dende about to heal him. That's when I decide to speak.
"It's no use. He's gone. He's dead." I say and as soon as I say it I start crying. I feel someone pick me up and I look up to see Gohan. He takes me to my room and sets me on the bed. Dende comes over to me and is about to heal my leg when Gohan stops him. I look at him confused.
"We have to get the glass out first."
"Right." Dende says. Gohan starts to pull the glass out and I'm brought back to reality by the sharp pain in my leg. I scream.
"Brat, move. You have to be gentler." Vegeta says. Gohan steps aside to let Vegeta do the rest. He gets all the pieces out and Dende heals me. I look at him and smile.
"Thank you."
"Not a problem." Dende says. Him and Vegeta leave. Now it's just me and Gohan.
"What happened?" Gohan says, finally breaking the silence.
"I don't know. I remember I was walking out of the kitchen when I heard something hit the ground. I turned around and he was on the floor. I walked closer to help but that's when I saw all the blood on the floor. I dropped the glass in my hand when I tried to put it on the counter. When it shattered it cut me. That's all I remember."
"Why'd you have a glass?"
"Vegeta asked me to get some water for your dad." I say just as I start crying.
"Hey it's okay. Please don't cry. I hate it when people cry, especially people I care about." He says pulling me into his arms. He holds me while I cry, until I fall asleep. I wake up the next morning, thinking everything that happened yesterday was just a horrible nightmare. When I wake up I realize I'm in someone's arms. I look up expecting to see Zuko, but instead I see Gohan. What the hell? I get off the bed trying not to wake him up, but with no luck.
"What's wrong?"
"Where's Zuko?"
"Kagome...he's..."
"No! That was just a nightmare!" I scream at him. "Right?" I ask looking at Gohan with tears in my eyes.
"Oh, Kagome, I wish it were just a nightmare. I'm sorry." He says while pulling me back to him. I start crying again, now that I know that all of that was real. I wasn't paying any attention to the door, but apparently some of Gohan's friends came into the room. I hear a noise and look up to see Piccolo, Krillin, and others that I don't remember.
"Hey, is she okay?" Krillin asks.
"I don't know. She woke up thinking everything that happened yesterday was a nightmare. She's been crying ever since."
"So, what you're saying is that she isn't okay." Piccolo says, more of a statement then a question.
"Well is there anything we can do?" Bulma says, while glaring at Piccolo. She's standing next to Yamcha, who is holding Trunks.
"I don't know."
"She looks so sad." Goten says. Trunks, who somehow got away from Yamcha (me: hmmm, I wonder how that could possibly happen?), comes over to Goten.
"Of course she does you idiot! She just lost someone she loved! Geez!" Trunks says. Goten climbs up o the bed and I look up. He comes over and snuggles with me. I smile and laugh (me: well now we know how to cheer her up :P).
"Goten what are you-"
"He's fine."
"You're sure?"
"Yeah."
"Okay." Gohan says. I smile and snuggle with him and Goten.
"Thanks, you two."
"Not a problem." Gohan says.
"Yeah, what he said." Goten says and I laugh. I fall asleep with Gohan and Goten (me: O.O)
Next Morning
I wake up and find that Gohan and Goten aren't here. Where the hell did they go? I get up to go look for them, when all of a sudden, I'm knocked out. I wake up in a pitch black room, and I'm tied up. I try to get free, but no luck, it's tied to tight. What the hell?
"Well look who's finally awake. It took you long enough." He says and kicks me. I cough up blood. Son of a bitch. Figures it was him.
"Fuck you."
"Not yet, my dear. Not yet." He whispers in my ear. I try to hit him with the back of my head, but it doesn't work, he moves away to quickly. "Nice try, but it didn't work."
"Let me GO!"
"Oh, believe me I will." He says. "Well that is after I've had my fun with you."
