Previously…
"He is right behind you" Rin said giving thumbs up to the shadow. She saw a hand rise up and give Rin thumbs up. Kagome watched as Rin skipped away and then slowly turned around.
"Inuyasha…" Kagome breathed.
"Why are you wearing that?" Inuyasha said with anger in his voice. Kagome turned away, ashamed and unsure of what to say
"Answer me Kagome. Why are you wearing that?" Inuyasha spat, the venom is his voice strong enough to burn.
---
Kagome flinched at his tone. She could only stare at her hands.
"Because…" she said.
"Because why?" Inuyasha said. Kagome turned around. She looked into his eyes. She could see a fire burning inside of him.
"Because…because…because…Inuyasha…" Kagome turned away. She watched Rin as she ran around.
"Damn it Kagome. Why won't you tell me?"
"Inuyasha…" She said as his hands gripped on her shoulder. She could feel his claws puncturing the fabric and her skin. She flinched and tried to wriggle free, only causing more pain.
"Let…go…LET GO!" she screamed. Inuyasha let go and stared at his hands. Little drops of blood dropped off his nails. Kagome fell to the floor, rocking herself and trying to stop her heart-wrenching sobs.
"K…Kagome. I'm sorry." Inuyasha said. He reached out to place a hand on her shoulder. She turned away and curled up into a ball, trying to hide herself from Inuyasha. She looked him in the eye. Inuyasha looked into her lost eyes. He could smell the fear, suffocating him on the spot
"Kagome…it only me…" he said as his hand finally reached her shoulder. Kagome jerked around so his hand was no longer on her shoulder. She got up and ran. She ran as fast as her legs could take her.
When I see your smile
tears run down my face
I
can't replace
and now that I'm strong
I have figured out
how
this world turns cold
and it breaks through my soul
and I know
I'll find deep inside me
I can be the one
---
Inuyasha watched as she ran away. He looked at his hands.
"She's scared of me…" he said quietly to himself.
---
Kagome fell onto the forest floor, trying to catch her breath. She leaned against a tree. She rubbed her arm trying to take the pain away. She moved her kimono so that she could see the lining. She ripped it off and pulled her kimono down so that her arm was exposed. She took the lining and wrapped it around her arm as tightly as she could. She did the same to her other arm. She took a deep breath in and looked around.
'Inuyasha, am I really scared of you. Or am I scared of myself?'
---
"Inuyasha – sama, are you ok?" Rin asked. Inuyasha spun around and looked at Rin
"Oh…yes. Don't worry I'm fine." He replied.
I will never
let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for
you through it all
even if saving you sends me to Heaven
It's
ok… It's ok… It's ok…
"Well, this Rin doesn't think that you're ok. This Rin thinks that you would be happy if Kagome – sama was with you. And Rin thinks that Kagome – sama wants to be with you. Then you can both be happy!" Rin said contently. Inuyasha frowned and looked towards the sky. He frowned
" I don't think that Kagome wants to be with me Rin…" Inuyasha said in dismay.
"Well, you wont know unless you try. Rin wants both of you to be happy." She said as she looked longingly at the sky. Inuyasha looked at her. She was right.
Seasons are changing
and waves are crashing
and
stars are falling
all for us
the days grow longer
and nights
grow shorter
I can show you I'll be the one
"Thank you Rin." Inuyasha said as he ruffled her hair. Rin giggled. Inuyasha looked in the direction that Kagome had left. He looked back at Rin and whispered something in her ear. Rin smiled and nodded her head as she waved goodbye to Inuyasha. With a deep sight, she turned around and went back to playing with the butterflies.
---
Sesshomaru closed the curtain as his brother left. He watched as his brother talked to Rin. He wondered what Inuyasha had whispered to Rin. He would just have to ask Rin. Sesshomaru turned around to be greeted with one of his servants peeking in. The young girl squeaked. She fumbled as she tried to close the door.
"You can come in.," he said. The little girl's cheeks became a brilliant red colour.
"Lord Sesshomaru…one of the villagers from the village north of here has spotted an injured woman in the royal robes in the forest outside the estate. Sorry to disrupt you." The young girl bowed and quickly left the room. Sesshomaru sat down. What was the miko doing outside of the estate? Cursing ever so slightly under his breath, he got up and went to find his brother.
'What did you do Inuyasha? What did you do?'
---
Kagome kept on wandering towards the castle, or at least where she thought the castle was. She climbed the tallest tree and looked around. All she could see was the tops of thousands of trees. Looking in the opposite direction she saw a cloud of smoke rising through the tree's Kagome's heart leapt and quickly climbed down. Halfway down the tree, she fell. She had landed on her ankle and it was crushed under her. Kagome winced in pain as she moved her leg so that she could see the injury. Her ankle had swollen immediately. She cried as she gingerly touched her ankle. She pulled herself closer to the base of the tree and rested there.
"Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, FUCK!" Kagome said.
"Aren't you the pure and innocent one? Man. What are you doing swearing?"
Kagome cautiously turned to look at the voice.
"Inuyasha…what are you doing here?" Kagome said with fear in her voice.
"Can't have you wandering out here all by yourself now can we?" Inuyasha stated as her lifted her up the ground.
"Inuyasha…" Kagome said but was cut off by Inuyasha
"I'm sorry."
I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with
you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
even if saving
you sends me to Heaven
cause you're my...you're my...my...
my
true love
my whole heart
please don't throw that away
cause
I'm here for you
please don't walk away!
Please tell me you'll
stay!
"Huh?" was Kagome's intelligent answer
"I said I'm sorry. For hurting you."
"Oh, " she said "its not your fault. You weren't there when I fell out of the tree. Don't worry." She replied
"No. I mean sorry for hurting your arm, sorry for not letting you explain, and sorry for letting you run off and hurting yourself when I could have been here beside you, and catching you before you fell."
Kagome could feel her cheeks burning up.
"Inuyasha. It's not your fault. I should have explained it to you. Can we just go back to the castle now?
"Yeah. Sure." Inuyasha gently placed a kiss on Kagome's forehead and started to run back to the castle. He felt Kagome cuddle closer to him. He smiled as he glanced at her peaceful form. He saw her face crumple when her ankle was in pain.
'Kagome…will you ever forgive me?' Inuyasha thought
"You already are forgiven Inuyasha, you already are."
Use me as you willpull my strings just for a thrill
and I know I'll be ok
though my skies are turning gray
I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to Heaven
Inuyasha looked at Kagome with wide eyes.
"Kagome?" but she did not answer. Inuyasha was worried and confused. Maybe someone at the castle could explain
---
Sesshomaru looked through the trees.
"So Inuyasha. You are trying to woe her again."
---
When Inuyasha reached the castle doors, he kicked the wooden gate. A man peered out the top of the gate and nodded his head. The gate soon opened and Inuyasha walked through. Through every corridor and hall every stared a the woman in his arms, who bore the lady of the western lands attire.
Inuyasha looked at one of the women
"Sent your most skilled healer to the third room upstairs in the east wing." The woman nodded. Inuyasha thanked her and made his way up to his room. When he opened the door, he placed Kagome on the bed and went to fetch some water.
"No…leave…Inuyasha…help…Naraku…go…don't…stop…no…no…no…no…"
Inuyasha watched as Kagome tossed and turned, noticing how much pain this was causing her.
"Kagome…it me Inuyasha. Please stop it. You will hurt yourself." He willed himself to try to calm her down, but failed to do so with his voice. He placed the bowl with water down and placed Kagome in his arms. A low growling sound filled the room. The mates call. Kagome slowly started to clam down. Inuyasha heard someone come in. He saw Sesshomaru at the door.
"Inuyasha. I request the miko's and your presence in my room. Immediately."
Inuyasha rolled his eyes but picked Kagome up. She had finally calmed down. Inuyasha smiled. At least she was safe and in his arms.
I
will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be
there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to Heaven
