"Kagome! How did you find me?"
Kagopme shrugged,
"I thought you might be here."
Inuyasha looked at Kagome and noticed she was shivering.
"Are you OK?"
She nodded and looked at him with tears in her eyes.
"I'm really sorry..." She gulped and took in a deep breath, "about earlier, Naraku was making me act like that..."
Inuyasha nodded,
"I understand."
Kagome stared at him and took a deep breath.
"So what happened after I left?" Inuyasha asked.
Kagome shivered again.
Inuyasha looked at her worried, "What happened?"
Kagome bit her lip.
"He..."She gulped, "Oh, Inuyasha!"
Kagome started to cry and Inuyasha not knowing what to do hugged her. Kagome cried into his shoulder.
"Kagome...what did he do to you."
Kagome wiped the tears from her eyes and tried to calm down.
"He raped me..." she said in a soft whisper.
Inuyasha gripped her shoulders and stared at her.
"He...He did that to you!"
Kagome nodded.
Inuyasha let go of her and turned around rubbing his forehead.
"Inuyasha"
"I'm going to kill that asshole!"
"Inuyasha..."
"I'm going to torture him then I'm going to chop him to pieces!"
"Inuyasha..."
"He had no right to do that to you!"
"Inuyasha!"
Inuyasha turned to Kagome.
"What?"
"It's ok. I'm not really that upset about it. I don't want you to go after him. You'll get hurt."
"What do you mean? You are upset about it! If you weren't then you wouldn't have started crying."
"Ok, I am upset about it. But...I still don't want you to get hurt so stay away from Naraku for a little bit, OK?"
"No Kagome! I have to do something! I can't let him get away with this!"
Kagome frowned,
"Well, it's too late to do anything about it now!"
"I can get revenge! Aren't you mad at him?"
"Yes, but he's already done it. It's already happened and I'd like to forget about it."
"Kagome! I don't care- I won't let him hurt you."
"But he already has hurt me. Right after you left! You knew something was weird, but you left anyway! If you had stayed it wouldn't have happened. Do you have any idea what it's like to be beaten up almost to the point of unconsciousness? Do you know what it's like to lie on the floor shivering wondering what his next move is going to be? Do you know what it's like to feel weak and powerless? Do you know what it's like to give up? Do you have any idea whatsoever of what it is like to be ashamed and humiliated and hurt? Do you know what it's like to wait and hope that somebody will be there in a few minutes to take the pain away and then nobody shows up? Do you know what it's like to know that the only person you counted on to be there for you was out visiting his old girlfriend while you were lying on the bed trying to wash away the pain with your tears? DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE? DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA?"
"Kagome."
"It was the one time I needed you and you weren't there!"
"Kagome..."
Kagome started shaking,
"Inuyasha..."
Inuyasha pulled Kagome into a tight embrace.
"I'm sorry Kagome."
Kagome started to cry harder,
"I was so scared and there was nobody to help me...I was all alone."
"I should have been there. It's my fault that this happened."
"No, you didn't know. It's not your fault."
"But you said..."
"I was upset and I overreacted. It's not your fault." Her tear-stained face looked up at him, "It really isn't..."
"Don't worry Kagome, Naraku will get what he deserves."
"I don't care what he gets as long as I never have to see his ugly face again." She said frustrated.
"Kagome?"
"Yeah?"
"I won't let him hurt you again. From now on I'll never let you out of my sight."
"Thanks Inuyasha."
"I love you Kagome."
Kagome froze. He loves me? Do I love him back? Maybe he just means he loves me as a friend...What do I say?
Kagome smiled faintly,
"I love you too Inuyasha. You're...a really great friend."
Inuyasha frowned. "a really great friend"? What's that supposed to mean? Does she not love me the same way I love her?Did she not understand what I meant? What do I say...
"I love you Kagome. I love you more than I've loved anyone else."
Kagome fidgeted uncomfortably... What does he mean now? He loves me the same way he loved Kikyo? Does he want to date? Can ghosts date and have relationships? Do I love him the same way? Oh...I have no idea how I feel about him. What do I say!?
Kagome gave a nervous chuckle, "Well, we can't stand here hugging all night. Do you want to go and find Shippo?"
Oh, no, she doesn't like me. Damn, I feel like such a fool!
"Sure." He let go of Kagome and looked her in the face with an awkward smile.
Kagome smiled back,
Oh, no! Now he thinks I don't like him. He probably feels stupid. Maybe I should say something...
"Inuyasha?"
"Yeah?"
"A bunch of stuff has been happening and I'm not exactly sure how I feel about anything. I'm just so confused about everything. Just...give me some time to sort out my feelings, ok?"
"Ok."
Kagome smiled.
"Great, now let's run by Sango and Miroku's house and I'll explain what happened when Naraku left."
--
Sesshoumaru and Kagura sat on a bench in the park while Rin played happily on the playground.
"So what have you been up to?" Kagura turned to Sesshoumaru.
"I'm still trying to figure out who killed Kagome. There aren't any clues. No fingerprints, nothing, it's driving me crazy. They're putting the case on Japan's most wanted, to see if anyone has any idea who killed her."
"Do you think you'll get any clues?"
"No, this will probably remain an unsolved mystery..."
Kagura sighed, "By now, you probably have enough money to retire from this whole detective business, don't you?"
Sesshoumaru shrugged his shoulders,
"Yeah, I could retire if I wanted to."
Kagura smiled,
"So..." she said sweetly.
Sesshoumaru looked at her, clueless. "So what?"
Kagura wrapped her arm around him and scooted closer towards the inu youkai.
"So why don't you retire, settle down, and get married. You could just relax and get away from all these mysteries. Aren't you tired of being a detective?" she gave him the puppy face.
"Get married?"
"Yeah silly, wouldn't you like a wife to help you take care of Rin and cook dinner for you every night?"
"I don't know. How would I find someone willing to marry me?"
Kagura rolled her eyes,
"Sesshoumaru, I would marry you if you asked me. I have nothing better to do."
Sesshoumaru contemplated the idea for a second then turned to Kagura,
"I'll retire and marry you as soon as I find out who murdered Kagome Higurashi."
"You son of a bitch." Kagura smiled, "I hate you so much."
Sesshouimaru smiled, leaned towards Kagura and whispering said, "Rin's going to a friend's house tonight. Why don't you come over to the apartment?"
Kagura smiled,
"I'll come."
Sesshoumaru smiled,
"Don't forget your whip."
"Don't worry I won't"
Sorry I just had to add that bit of sexual content at the end. I couldn't help myself. (
