When it was time to leave, Inuyasha came over and looped her arm around his own before roughly leading her out of the large mansion.
She knew as soon as they were out of hearing and sight of the building that he'd seen her talking to his father. His fingers clenched painfully around her forearm, and before she could make sense of where they were or what was happening, she was pinned up against stone, perhaps a wall of some kind.
"Did you think you were being clever, wench?" he drawled, the scent of alcohol on his breath. Lazily, he slid one finger up the side of her face almost gently before slapping her on the same cheek.
She felt her head snap from the force of the blow, her breath leaving her lungs in a sharp gasp.
Inuyasha's voice was rough, sounding like gravel being crunched underfoot.
"Did you think that you could get away from me?" he continued, grabbing her by the hair and yanking her already sore neck back, baring her neck to him.
"No." she weakly protested, slumping, knowing from experience that it would make the pain less later on.
Inuyasha's nose was suddenly at the hollow of her throat, and he trailed up, his breath light on her skin. He continued along to her shoulder, pausing for a moment before sinking his sharp canines deep. Kagome grit her teeth, tears welling up in her eyes. She didn't dare move; not it she wanted to risk her life.
"You're mine." the sound was a gutteral snarl, and he reared back from the torn flesh, examing the semi-deep wound for a moment before slamming her head against the rock behind her, making stars dance in front of her vision.
"Good night, Ka-go-me." Inuyasha said disdainfully, leaving the dazed woman lying on the cool earth.
It was only when she was that he'd gone that she allowed herself to cry, helpless tears of despair flowing from her cerulean orbs.
