Midnight Feathers

Chapter Twelve: The Courage With In

Inuyasha stared angrily at the monster in front of him.

"Ka..gome," It repeated.

Without knowing, Inuyasha let out a dark growl.

"Shut the hell up," He said flashing the monster his teeth while taking a step forward, but was stopped by Sesshomaru's hand.

Inuyasha gave him a piss off look.

"What do you think you're doing?" he growled at Sesshomaru.

"Who do you want," Sesshomaru questioned at the monster.

It little rocked from side to side, "Kag…ome," it said.

"Why," Sesshomaru said.

"Mas…ter,"

"What!" Inuyasha said pushing heavily on his brother's arm.

"What does your master want," Sesshomaru question already knowing the answer.

"Kago…me…Kill…Ka…gome," it said.

"The hell you are!" Inuyasha growled darkly at it jumping over his brothers arm.

Inuyasha growled as he jumped in front of the monster and ranked his claws though its body.

It turned into a dark purple mist as it fell to the ground.

"That'll teach you," Inuyasha said as relief flooded his heart. Now that the shadow was gone, Kagome is safe.

"It's still here,"

"What?" Inuyasha said turning around, looking at his brother in annoyance.

"Its presents is still here," He said as he began to run up the stairs.

Inuyasha wasn't far from behind as he ran up the stairs behind Sesshomaru.

Kagome…Inuyasha thought I'm coming,

8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8

Kagome and Rin said nothing as they both sat on the bed.

Kagome closed her eyes as she let her mind drift.

The image of Inuyasha came to her mind.

Inuyasha… Kagome thought.

Don't fear the darkness Kagome

Kagome gasped as she heard the warm voice in her head. Rin swiftly looked over to Kagome.

"Kagome," Rin said in a worried tone, "are you okay?"

The darkness can't harm you. You are the Light

"Th-the…light?" Kagome spoken softly to herself.

No matter how deep the darkness tries to pull you in, always remember that even in the deepest darkness…there is always light. It may be small…but it's always there to guide you.

As the voice left Kagome's mind, she began to feel courage fill her heart.

Inuyasha needs me Kagome thought as she got off the bed.

"Kagome, where are you going," Rin said as she began slid off the bed, but Kagome stop her.

"Rin," Kagome said placing a hand on Rin shoulder, "stay here. I have to help Inuyasha and Sesshomaru."

Rin looked up at her in shock.

"But that thing," she said pointing at the window, "out there is after you."

Kagome stay silent as she looked down at the floor.

"I know…" she said quietly, "but just because it's after me doesn't me I can't try to help kill it. I won't let Sesshomaru or Inuyasha get hurt…because of me," she said as she slowly looked back up to Rin.

They looked into each other's eyes in silence.

"I'm coming with you," Rin said as she stood up.

"No," Kagome said sternly.

"But Kagome-"

"Rin," Kagome interrupted, "if you go out there your putting not only yourself in danger, but your two babies. Just stay in here, please."

Rin sat back down. She knew Kagome was right, she just wanted to help out.

"Be careful." Rin said as she looked up at Kagome with a sad smile.

Kagome nodded as she dashed out the door and shrine house.

Once she was out of the main shrine house, Kagome began to walk carefully. The hair on the back of Kagome's neck stood up, the feeling of something watching her closest wouldn't leave her body.

"Kagome!"

Turning around quickly, Kagome saw Inuyasha and Sesshomaru run over to her swiftly.

"Inuyasha," she said with a smile as she stretched her hand out to him.

Suddenly, a wind blew from behind Kagome. Kagome watched as Inuyasha and Sesshomaru faces paint over with shock. The feeling of someone, or something behind her began to fill her body.

Everything seemed to go in slow motion.

Dark arms wrapped around Kagome and pulled her backwards. Kagome widened her eyes as she listened to Inuyasha scream her name.

Everything around her darken, she couldn't hear anything, couldn't see anything.

All she could see was darkness.

"Kagome!" Inuyasha screamed as he watched the dark shadow grab Kagome and sucked her into its chest.

"Give her the fuck back!" Inuyasha growled darkly as he jumped high into the air and pushed hard in its chest.

He didn't feel a thing in there. Fear began to fill his body.

I'm not going to lose you! he thought as the image of Kagome smiling sweetly at him.

"Kagomee!" He yelled.

8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8

Kagome, don't fear the darkness

Kagome slowly opened her eyes, but only saw blackness.

Even in the deepest darkness, there is always light. It may be small, but it's there. Find it Kagome.

Kagome looked around, but no light came to her eyes.

"There nothing but darkness…" Kagome said as she began to get scared.

I don't want to stay here, She thought as tears began to fill her eyes, I…I want to be with…Inuyasha.

A light began to gleam into the darkness that captured Kagome.

Kagome looked up at the light.

"Kagomee!"

Kagome gasped. It was Inuyasha!

"Inuyashaa!" Kagome yelled.

She just wanted to be in his arms right now. She wanted to listen to him comfort her. She just wanted him.

He cannot hear you in here Kagome.

"What," Kagome said,

You must go to the light, the light will bring you to the one you want the most

Kagome looked back at the light.

"Kagome!" she heard Inuyasha yell.

"Inuyashaa!" she yelled again as she began to get closer to the light.

As she got closer to the light, she saw Inuyasha's hand coming out of the light.

Without thinking, Kagome grabbed hold of the hand. Trusting that it would take her to the one person she wanted.

8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8

Inuyasha's eyes widened as he felt something grab his hand.

"Kagome!" he yelled as he pulled with all his might.

The shadow screamed in pain as Inuyasha pulled.

Before long, Inuyasha saw Kagome's hand holding on to his. Pulling hard, Kagome shot out of the shadows body and slammed into Inuyasha, causing both of them to fly backward and into a tree.

Inuyasha groaned lightly as his back hit the tree. He and Kagome both slid down until Inuyasha's butt lightly hit the ground.

Kagome slowly opened her eyes. She wasn't surrounded by darkness anymore, but light.

Strands of silver hair caused Kagome to look up.

Inuyasha had opened his eyes slowly just as Kagome looked up at him.

"Kagome…" He said as he brought her close against his body.

"Inuyasha," Kagome said, tears began to fill her eyes as she placed both of her hands on the side of Inuyasha's face.

"Ah-why are you crying? Don't cry." Inuyasha said as hugged her tighter.

She closed her eyes, trying to make the tears stop.

As Kagome closed her eyes, Inuyasha darted his eyes over to Sesshomaru. He had begun to fight the shadow, keeping it away from Kagome and him.

Looking back down to Kagome, he saw that she was still fighting to stop crying.

"Kagome," he said making her look up at him again, "I promised that I will protect you will my life. I don't know where that thing took you, but I promise that I will never let it take you again." He said.

Kagome continued to looking to his eyes while her hands rest on the sides of his face.

Before she could stop herself, she leaned forward and crashed her lips into his.

Inuyasha was shocked, but didn't take long before he kissed her back.

"It-was-so-scary-," Kagome said in between kisses, "everything-was dark-but-than you-"

"Kagome," Inuyasha growled as he took his lips away from hers, "stop talking," he said as he crashed his lips into Kagome roughly, pulling her closer against his body.

Inuyasha's heart felt like it was in complete bliss as he kissed Kagome. All the scars in his heart began to heal; his heart began to cry out to Kagome. He never wants to lose this feeling.

Inuyasha tilted his head to the side as he began to deepen the kiss. Kagome let out a quiet moan as Inuyasha placed a hand on the back of her head, pressing her lips harder against his.

Everything seemed so right. Both of them never felt like this when they had kissed another person before.

Both Inuyasha and Kagome stopped the wonderful kiss as they heard a crash a few feet next to them.

Looking over to the side of them, the shadow demon laid on the floor.

Inuyasha let out a dark growl at it, he began to pulled Kagome closer to him as he stood up and backed up a little.

Sesshomaru crashed down his claws into the shadow's head than with his other hand he cut through its stomach.

It disappeared from the spot it laid on, its body and presents was no longer there.

Inuyasha began to relax but didn't let Kagome go as they look at the spot.

"It is gone, but not dead." Sesshomaru said walking away to find his mate.

"What? How can it be gone, but not dead?" Inuyasha questioned.

Sesshomaru just walked away without answering.

"Inuyasha," Kagome said as Inuyasha looked down at her, "if it's not dead…than will it come after me again."

Inuyasha sigh as he placed his hand on of her head, lightly pulling it down on it making it rest in the crock of his neck.

"Don't worry," He said rubbing her back, "I'll protect you like I promised."

Kagome looked up to Inuyasha as he looked down at her. There was no doubt that he wouldn't protect her, she just didn't want to get hurt.

Seeing the worry in her eyes, Inuyasha leaned and placed a long sweet kiss on her lips.

"Don't worry," Inuyasha said smiling down to her, "I got you."

Kagome giggled and hugged him back.

"Come on," Inuyasha said as he picked Kagome up bridal style, "its bed for you." He said walking back into the shrine house.

As Inuyasha walked into the sitting room, Rin and Sesshomaru came out of the hall.

Seeing Kagome being carried, Rin ran over the best she could with her belly to Kagome.

"Kagome! Are you okay! Are you in pain? How is your arm?" Rin asked a mile a minute.

"Your arm? What wrong with your arm?" Inuyasha said as he began to sniff her.

Lightly pushing his nose away with her figure, she turned to Rin.

"Calm down. I'm okay, my arm is better. Don't worry." Kagome said as she smiled sweetly at her, "But how are you?"

"I'm just fine," Rin said as her mate walked up next to her.

"Lover, are you sure you are well." Sesshomaru said grabbing whole of Kagome's hand lightly and brought it to his chest.

A growl escaped from Inuyasha's throat as he twisted Kagome and himself away from Sesshomaru.

Walking away from Rin and Sesshomaru, Inuyasha began to head for the stairs.

"Go to hell you bastard," Inuyasha muttered as he walked quickly up the stairs.

When Inuyasha reached his room, he placed Kagome on the bed.

"Do you want to take a shower?" Inuyasha asked Kagome while she nodded lightly.

Inuyasha walked into the bathroom while Kagome quietly followed him.

Inuyasha pulled out two towels and placed him on the sick counter.

"Everything's there he said pointing into the shower.

"Thank you-What are you doing?" Kagome asked as Inuyasha began taking off his shrit.

"About to take are shower," He said grinning at her.

"Um, I'm taking a shower I thought." Kagome questioned.

"You are." He said as he threw his shirt at her.

She laughed as she point out the bathroom and into the bedroom.

"Out," she said with a goofy grin.

"Kagome, sharing is caring." Inuyasha said giving Kagome the puppy dog look.

Laughing, Kagome grabbed his arm and pushed him out the bathroom.

"Ladies first," Kagome said while closing the door and locking it.

As she climbing to the shower, her mind drifted back to the place that the shadow took her too.

What was that place…could a place where only darkness resides? Kagome thought as she washed her body and hair.

As she rubbed her arm with the soap, she flinched lightly.

Looking down at the scratch on her forearm, she rubbed it lightly.

You said it couldn't hurt me, she thought hoping the voice would hear her, but it did. How can it not hurt me?

Turning off the water, Kagome squeezed out the water from her hair and stepped out the shower.

Wrapping the towel around her body, she realized at Inuyasha didn't give her clothes to change into.

8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8o8

Inuyasha lay on his bed as he listened to Kagome in the shower.

He inhaled deeply, loving the way Kagome smelled.

A smile returned to his face as he remembered the kiss they shared outside.

His heart began to warm at the memory.

The sound of the shower turning off made Inuyasha open his eyes slowly. Inuyasha looked over to the door as Kagome cracked the door opened.

"Um," she said as a light blush covered her cheeks, "can I have something to wear?"

Inuyasha grinned as he was over to his dresser and pulled out a tanktop and a pair of boxers.

"Here," he said as he handed them to her.

"Uh, these are your boxers." She informed.

"Yea, I know." He said while flopping back on the bed.

Inuyasha heard her sigh as she closed the door again. As she changed, Inuyasha changed also. He grabbed some sweat pants, but didn't grab a shirt. He hated wearing shirts at night.

A few minutes later Kagome walked out of the bathroom in his clothes.

Kagome walked over to Inuyasha and flopped on the bed with him.

Before Kagome could blink, Inuyasha grabbed her and threw her under him as began to look at her arm.

"Inu-Inuyasha! What are you doing?" Kagome questioned.

Inuyasha examined the scratched on her arm.

"Did that thing," he said with anger, "do this to you?"

Kagome just lightly nodded.

Inuyasha whined quietly as he began to lick the scratch.

"Inuyasha…" Kagome said quiet as he lifted his head and kissed her tenderly.

"Go to sleep, you need your rest." Inuyasha said as he turned off the lights and snuggled Kagome to his chest.

"And don't worry, I'll protect you even in sleep." He said in the dark as he place a light kiss on her head.

Kagome smiled to herself as he snuggled against Inuyasha's bear chest.

I know you will…. Kagome thought as she closed her eyes.
