Chapter 10: The truth.
Wait, did I just hear right, she was asking for her daughter. Her dead daughter.
"What is she talking about Sesshomaru?"
She laughed. "Kagura you didn't tell her? Go on, tell her about how you refuse to let go and put Rin to rest."
"Sesshomaru tell me what she's talking about now."
He sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. "Alright, but it's better if I show you."
Being in the car was unnerving, I could cut the tension with a knife. On top of that he made me sit in the backseat. The nerve of that prick. Yeah, that's his wife but they're estranged. She should be in the back not me. I was going to make this ride unbearable.
"NINETY NINE BOTTLES OF BEER ON THE WALL. NINETY NINE BOTTLES OF BEER, TAKE ONE DOWN PASS IT AROUND NINETY EIGHT BOTTLES OF BEER ON THE WALL. "
I could feel Kagura seething from the front seat, I noticed Sesshomaru smiling in the mirror. Suddenly he joined in. Which only fueled my terrible singing even more. Maybe this ride wouldn't be so bad after all.
Finally, after annoying Kagura for god knows how long. Wes arrived back at this god forsaken house. I watched as he handed Kagura the keys to the house. Wait for me upstairs, he said. She walked away swinging her boney hips from side to side.
"Kagome whatever happens here today, don't hate me for it. Just know I had a good reason."
I slowly nodded, but in the back of mind I knew if push came to shove, and something terrible was in that house. I'd run like hell, and not come back. I followed Sesshomaru into the house, passing the living room. I saw everyone sitting quietly, they wouldn't look me in the eyes. All but Kikyo, I'm not sure... but I could've sworn that I saw pity. My heart beat faster and faster as we climbed the staircase. Turning the corner, Kagura stood by the door tears welling up in her eyes. She hung he head low, bangs cascading over her eyes.
"Open it." She whispered.
Yet, Sesshomaru did not move.
"OPEN IT NOW." She shrieked.
Her face... was wild. Eyes wide, pupils dilated. Her pale tear stained face, twisted with pain. He moved then. Digging into his pocket, he fished out a key. He slowly pushed the key into the hole, turning the knob he pushed the door open. Kagura pushed passed him running into the room. She screamed. I pressed my back against the wall, sinking to the floor. I covered my ears with my hand. The dark aura flooded out of that room, I could hardly breathe. I desperately wanted to know what was in that room, but I was afraid that if I did... I wouldn't be able to handle it. There were a few more muffled screams... then nothing. Finally I built up enough courage, I peeked around the door frame, trying to see what is as going on but Sesshomaru blocked my view.
"NO! You let her see what you've done. Let her see how much of a monster you are."
He helped me off the ground, mouthing the words I'm sorry. He stepped to the side, letting me pass. My heart nearly stopped at the sight before me. Oh god this couldn't be Rin. I could feel the bile rising in my throat. Before I knew it I was hunched over the toilet, spilling my inside into the toilet.
"Kagome-"
"Don't you date come near me or I will turn you into ash. You're sick! There is no good reason for that. None!"
"Please just let me explain." He begged.
"Explain what Sesshomaru? That you're deranged? What kind and of man keeps his dead daughters body. Just to keep her brain hooked up to machines, just to keep it going. SHE'S SUFFERING... why can't you see that? Her body is decaying. Instead of laying her to rest. Instead you've chosen to seal off half of the room and turn it into a freezer. So you could put her on display. The hell is wrong with you."
"I did this to show them, to show people like you. What death really looks like? It isn't some sweet ending, the pain doesn't stop it just transfers to someone else that you'll leave behind. She's helped them see what they would've done to themselves if I didn't come along and help them."
"Help them? All you've done is scare them. You haven't help anyone, they're just afraid that if they do kill themselves. You'll put them on display right next to Rin. As a lesson to someone else. You say you want to help us, but you're the one who really needs help Sesshomaru. If Rin was able to, she'd tell you how much she hates you."
It had happened so fast, I almost didn't see it. My hand flew to my stinging cheek. He'd slapped me, the look on his face sowed that he had instantly regretted it... but it was too late. I pushed him, burning him with enough of my energy. To make sure he wouldn't follow me. I ran down the stairs and out of the house, and I kept running... and I didn't look back.
