Disclaimer- I do not own Inuyasha
Chapter 10- Gone Dark
"Master, Sesshomoru, I'm sorry did you need me in the house?"
"No, I actually came to talk to you. May I sit down?"
She looked skeptical at first, but nodded.
"I, couldn't help but notice that you've been acting weirdly since the attack. Are you sure there isn't something you want to tell me?"
"No, nothing", she said looking down at her feet.
"Well, if you ever wish to talk about it feel free to. I also came to ask you if you would like to come take a day off with me. Maybe do a little shopping and grab a bite to eat afterwards?"
"I don't think that's such a good idea. I have a lot of work to do."
"Well, I'll assign someone else to your job for the day."
"No, I'm sorry. I need to go." She rose to her feet and ran into the house not looking him in the face once.
Sesshomoru continued to sit there shocked that his plan didn't work. There had to be something going on and he knew just the person that would tell him if there was.
"Sesshy, I have no idea what your talking about. Whatever that woman says is a lie. She is in love with you and would say anything to turn you against me."
"She hasn't said anything. That is why I am here talking to you, Kagura. What the hell really happened that day"
"I have already told you this a million times. Now if you are not here to tell me you want me back home then it is best that you leave."
"I guess I'm leaving then."
Sesshomoru could smell another person in this apartment. It was another man. He didn't at first recognize the scent but then he remembered it. It was Naraku. He knew Kagura could still be using him as a body gaurd, but what would be the point? He left the room hoping to get some alone time with Naraku. He would have to wait and he didn't want to leave Kyumi alone for too long.
Kyumi sat in her room crying. She wanted so badly to be able to say yes to Sesshomoru, but knew she would be killed if she did. She wasn't sure what she should do. She hated lyimg to him. He wanted to help her and all she did was push him away. Even if it was for the better it still made her feel she was hurting him and that is the last thing she ever wanted to do.
"Kyumi, are you feeling okay? You haven't been yourself and...Kyumi why are you crying?"
"It is nothing to worry about, Lexi. I will be alright."
"Are you sure? And whats wrong with Master Sesshomoru? He left out of the house very quickly and-"
"Sesshomoru is g-gone?"
"Yes...are you sure you are okay? You look terrified."
Just then all the power in the house went out. Leaving the house pitch black.
"Kikyo, what happened? Why are you crying and what happened to your face?"
"That stupid new wench of Inuyasha's that's what happened."
"Are you okay?"
"DO I LOOK OKAY? HAVE YOU SEEN MY FACE? WOULD YOU BE OKAY IF YOUR FACE LOOKED LIKE THIS?"
"I guess not, but who is the girl? What's her name?"
"It's the girl that lives across the hall, Kagome."
"Oh, Kagome, she's really nice and-" she saw the way Kikyo was looking at her and quickly changed the subject "What are you going to do? I know you want to get back at her and Inuyasha."
"Yes, I just need to think of a good plan. I need to find outthings about this Kagome girl."
"Well, I know she caught her boyfriend Kouga, major hottie by the way, but she caught him cheating on her."
"Really? So how do you think she would react if she thought it was happening all over again? Only this time with Inuyasha?"
"I don't know. I like Kagome."
"No, you will help me. I could care less if you like her or not."
"Fine, what will you have me do?"
"Kyumi, what just happened?"
"I am not sure, but do you know where any flashlights are or candles maybe?"
"Yes, there is a flashlight in your dresser. I put it there along time ago."
"Why in my dresser? Actually, never mind could you get it for me?"
"Sure thing."
She could hear Lexi trying to feel through her dresser and then try to find her way back to Kyumi.
"Here it is."
"Thanks", she said turning it on, "Now stay here and lock the door. I'll go find out whats going on."
"Okay, be careful."
"I always am."
She walked out of the room closing the door behind her. The flashlight was very small so she could only see a couple of inches ahead of her, but it was better than no light at all. She began walking down the stairs where she felt someone shove her hard in the back causing her to fall down the stairs. She was sure she had broken one of her ribs, but stood up anyway only to be punched in her face knocking her unconcious.
Sorry it's not very long. Hope you like it. R&R !
