Chapter Eleven

Can't Handle the Truth

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The room was cold, and the man before him made it feel even colder. "Naraku-sama" he softly spoke. "The task you sent me to complete is finished." He backed up a bit when he saw his lord stand up and smile sinisterly.

"Good, only three more youkai lords to go then. What about our human ambassador?" The man shook his head no. "I see so you still can't find her." Naraku eyes began to glow bloodier, by the second. The henchman knew if he did not show some progress was made, his life would be on the line,

"No, my lord, but we did locate the school she had her kids attending. We are close on her heels." He prepared himself for a good stab in the chest but nothing came. He looked up to see Naraku smiling at him.

"Good job." He whispered to the man before him. Naraku turned back around and sat his desk while staring at the window. He waved his hand to dismiss the man behind him.

As the man began to leave he heard his master call out to him. "Hojo." Hojo quickly turned around and was met with a cold stare. "Next time, do not underestimate those hanyous, or it will be the death of you." Hojo quickly nodded and ran out the office. After he was sure Hojo left he pulled out a picture of a teenage girl.

Naraku quietly chuckled to himself. "Soon, my princess, soon you will be mine." He kissed the photo and stared at again. "I promise we will be one, Kagome."

"Another boring meeting" Sango yawned as she walked down the street. She had just got done with her meeting at the Nagasaki's house. She looked up at the moon and smiled. 'Another boring meeting, but another beautiful night, just like the night I met Miroku.' Sango smiled even bigger reminiscing about the good times she had Miroku. She chuckled to herself a bit before returning her view back on the street.

She looked to her left and saw Nagasaki Park. "Might as well take the shortcut home." She muttered to herself. As she turned the corner to enter the park, she failed to notice three pairs of sinister eyes watching her every move. They smiled evilly, knowing that their target would soon be within their grasp, and that they had no limits to what they could do with this human girl.

He was panicking; in fact panicking was an understatement. He was scared shitless. 'How am I going to explain this to her? What am I going to say?!' Inu Yasha looked at the raven-haired girl before him. She looked scared.'Just like the rest of the humans, she will never accept me, and I thought you were different Kagome.'

"Inu Yasha, I'm not going to ask you again! What the hell is going on?!" Kagome sputtered while trying to keep her balance.

"Listen K-chan…"

"NO, don't you dare use that name on me!" She spat at him. "All I have ever been with you is truthful, but you, I don't know who you are!" Inu Yasha looked down in disgrace.

"I knew you would be afraid of me." He softly spoke to her. Kagome's darkened eyes soften a bit.

"I'm not afraid of …" Inu Yasha eyes jolted up from the floor when he heard Kagome's once quicken breathing stop and be replaced with a more clam pattern. When he looked up he saw his sister holding a limp Kagome.

"Rain?" Rain tiredly smiled at her twin brother. She then gently set Kagome on the bed and covered her with blankets. Seeing a chair that was placed next to her friend she quietly walked over and sat on it.

"I don't think she can handle the truth, not right now." Inu Yasha nodded sadly at his sister's wise advice. "I didn't puncture her neck hard enough; she will be awakening in about ten minutes. I suggest you put your concealment spell back on." Inu Yasha nodded and muttered a few words before returning back to his human form.

When Rain turned to get up she felt a small squeeze on her hand from what seemed like a weak and lifeless hand."Thank you." She heard her brother whisper. She gave him a small smile before returning to the room she first woke up in.

Inu Yasha sat on the chair his sister just got done occupying. He turned to look at the raven-hair girl that lay inches away from him. She was not afraid of what… Him? He had so many things to contemplate at the moment and his head was become sore with all the things he had to worry about. Would she remember anything when she woke up? He hoped not. Inu Yasha began to examine her body. There were so many bruises. Some from the night before, but some looked old. There were even what looked like cut marks or claw marks placed everywhere.

"Looks like we have both been through hell K-chan. But I promise, neither Naraku, nor I will hurt you anymore." Inu Yasha took her small hand into his own. "I will try to protect you as much as I can, please don't hate me if I have to do it from a distance." He kissed her hand and laid his head on her stomach trying to get some much needed rest. As he began to shut his amber eyes a small and subtle smile crossed the beautiful face of the girl next to him, not knowing that she heard that last part of his sentence.

HAHAHAHAHAHA I'm done. Short, but I need to get in to the hang of it again. Sorry I'm evil and all. Everyone thought Kagome was going to find out, but it is too earlier, trust me, when she finds out the reaction is going to be MUCH DIFFERENT than her earlier reaction. Sorry it took two years for this to come out, but I promise to work harder on it! Well R&R love you all!!!
