I don't own Inuyasha, but I own the plot! Bwuahahaha!
Kagome continued to watch the sunset as her look went from gentle to hurt. She lowered her gaze to the ground as a tear spilled down her cheek, making it's own trail. Inuyasha smelled the salty water and looked over. "Kagome?" Inuyasha called out her name with worry. She wouldn't look up as she sniffled and brought her hand up to her cheek to wipe away her tear. Inuyasha became worried as he looked at her form with a gentle look.
Kagome wanted to tell him everything. To feel him comfort her and whisper soothing things in her ear. She wanted to feel his arms around her, making her feel safe. To feel his fingers comb through her hair. Kagome wanted Inuyasha to know, to understand. She wanted his worry and concern. She felt special, important when he became worried and these were one of the moments. Kagome could hear the worry in his voice.
She smiled as she sniffled again and felt the warm salty water escape her eyes and fall down her cheek, marking their own trails with their own story. Each tear that shed had a reason and past behind it. Kagome lifted her eyes to see Inuyasha's attention was on her. His warming, golden eyes had worry swimming around in them. She turned her back to him as she crumpled down, allowing her emotion to pour out. She couldn't hold it in anymore. She physically felt her wall crumple to pieces to allow her feelings to flow out; like a dam was broken, allowing the water that was held there flow free.
And that water was pouring from her glossy eyes, down Kagome's cheeks. Kagome held her whimpers and cries in by biting her bottom lip. Her eyes told their story and her cries didn't have to help. Inuyasha had enough evidence that Kagome needed him. She needed him to be there for her. And he wasn't. Inuyasha reached out, silent as a mouse. His hand gently collapsed on her shoulder as he felt her physically stiffen under him-scared stiff, in fact. Like she just woke up from a nightmare.
And that's what Kagome was in. A never ending nightmare that she couldn't escape no matter what she did. Kagome whimpered as she leaned into his touch, feeling comfort. Inuyasha gripped onto her shoulder as he spun her around to force her to look at him. "Kagome, hey look at me" he told her in urgency. Kagome heard his voice shake as if he needed her to look at him. As if, if she didn't, he would die. Kagome forced herself to look into the honey golden eyes of Inuyasha's.
She didn't recognize the way he was looking at her. She never saw so much care pouring out of him. In fact, Kagome never saw anyone care about her. She felt a warmth go through as her tears blurred her vision for a second for more tears to fall down her tear stained cheeks. Kagome saw Inuyasha search her eyes, as if he was boring into her soul.
Kagome's eyes squinted with urgency. As if she needed Inuyasha and no one else. She needed him to hold her tightly in his arms, to make her feel comfort and safe. Kagome's bottom lip quivered as she whimpered before she gave in. "Oh Inuyasha" Kagome cried out as she leaned into his chest, wrapping her arms around him and crying. That's all she wanted to do. Kagome felt Inuyasha place one of his hands on the back of her head and his other arm wrap around her lower back. Kagome felt warmth spread through her whole body as she smiled internally.
Inuyasha kissed the top of her head as he felt Kagome quiver under him, letting her emotions pour out. For once, Kagome felt grateful. She felt thankful and lucky. To have a man that she didn't have to be afraid of. Actually, she was the complete opposite of it. She thought of Inuyasha as her hero. Her knight in shining armor. He protected her and accepted her for who she was. Kagome returned with the same things. She wouldn't let anything happen to the only person who actually cared about her.
Kagome felt more salty water fall from her eyes as she cried out in whimpers and cries of help. She felt safe in Inuyasha's arms. "Kagome, why are you crying?" Inuyasha whispered in her ear as he hugged her back tightly, with urgency. Kagome sniffled as she backed away, to look into Inuyasha's eyes. "Can we just go to your house and talk there? It's a lot to explain." Kagome murmured as she felt enveloped by the honey golden eyes that she came to know well.
Inuyasha thought about it for a moment before nodding. He knelt down in front of Kagome as an invitation to climb on. Kagome staggered onto his back as she gripped tightly onto his shoulders and buried her head into the crook of his neck and shoulder. Inuyasha rested his hands under Kagomes thighs to make sure she was safely on. He grunted as he took off, being swarmed by the warm breeze.
Kagome squealed from the new experience as her grip tightened, turning her knuckles white. She felt the air fly by her as her hair flew around freely. She heard the wind flying past her and Inuyasha. Her stomach had butterflies in them from the new feeling. Like going down a big hill on a roller-coaster, the way those butterflies flew rapidly. Kagome kept her face buried in Inuyasha's shoulder, taking deep inhales of his intoxicating manly scent. The scent reminded her of a forest. A quiet, peaceful forest... Kagome became used to the feeling of Inuyasha's demon sprinting and found it as a calming rhythm. Thinking of the peaceful forest and Inuyasha's strides creating a rhythm, sent Kagomes eyelids drooping as her grip slightly loosened and sleepiness took over her body.
Inuyasha felt Kagomes grip loosen and her head didn't press into his shoulder as much. He felt like he was carrying a rag doll with a steady breathing rhythm. Inuyasha smirked as he continued to run back to his house, wondering what Kagome needed to talk about. 'What would be so important at this moment? Why is she acting...strange?' Inuyasha questioned as he peeked out of the corner of his eye to see a raven beauty asleep.
Inuyasha didn't understand. 'She never acts like this. She never tells me anything, never admits her feelings or emotions, never tells me anything about her past either.' he thought, 'It's like she doesn't want me to know her. Like she wants to be that mysterious person' Inuyasha thought to himself. He was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't even notice that he was standing in front of his house.
He looked up before looking over his shoulder to see the girl he never imagined ever meeting sleeping peacefully. "Kagome" he whispered, trying to wake her up. The only result he got was Kagome snuggling into his back even more and babbling in her sleep. Inuyasha smirked as he felt comfortable with Kagome like this. Snuggled into his back, sleeping peacefully, with her arms around him. Inuyasha gently moved his shoulders around. "Hey, Kagome" he said a bit louder as he shook his shoulders around.
Kagomes eyes slowly fluttered open as she looked around. She instantly recognized what she was on and who she was on. "Hmm what?" she said groggily as her eyes seemed more puffy from the short amount of sleep she got. "Hey there sleeping beauty" Inuyasha joked with her, making her a new nickname for moments like these. Kagome looked down at Inuyasha who had a smirk on his face and blushed as she had a shy smile form. "Sorry about that Inuyasha. It was just a bad day for me" she admitted sheepishly.
Inuyasha shrugged his shoulder in understanding. "You need the sleep anyways" he said as he noticed the bags under her eyes. Kagomes hands were still on his shoulders as she moved them to go under his armpits and across his chest. Kagome smiled as she snuggled her head into his back and hugged him contently. "You are like a big pillow you know." Kagome murmured into his back, joking right back. Inuyasha smiled as he rolled his eyes playfully, not saying anything. "Alright, alright. Get up sleeping beauty" he responded as he shook around. Kagome sighed in disappointment while she raised her head off of his back and placed her hands on his shoulders again.
Kagome then realized where they were. She looked around in amazement, just now realizing how beautiful outside it was. She saw flowers surrounding Inuyasha's house, making it look even more beautiful. All sorts of colors of roses went around it, Kagomes favorite flower. She gasped at the sight as Inuyasha slowly removed his hands from beneath her thighs, making sure she knew he was.
Kagome crawled off of his back, not even thinking about it as she stood next to him, gazing at one rose that stood out from the rest. It was a white rose with little specs of red. It looked like a perfect rose. The figure, how the petals shaped around it perfectly. None of the petals were sagging or falling off. The unique petals wrapped tightly around the rose in the perfect way. Not one petal was out of place. It looked as if it had no mistake or flaws to it. It looked like a fake rose. Kagome noticed how the thorns were spread out evenly on the stem and gazed at it with a loving look. Inuyasha looked at her with confusion.
'What is she looking at?' he questioned himself. Inuyasha looked at her eyes and followed her gaze. His eyes lit up when he saw what she was looking at. He gazed at the rose in curiosity. How it stood out from all the other flowers and roses. Inuyasha eyed it a little while longer before he walked by Kagome, toward the rose. "Huh?" Kagome watched him in suspicion. 'What is he doing?' she wondered curiously in her head. She watched as Inuyasha stood in front of the rose for a moment before picking it off with a small pop.
Kagome let a small gasp escape her as her eyes widened in wonder. When she heard the snap, it picked at her curiosity even more. Inuyasha brought the rose into his chest as he gazed down at it. He gazed at the innocent white of it as the little red specs reminded him of the small amount of impureness held in every ones life. Every life had the negatives of it. Inuyasha twirled it between his index finger and his thumb to watch the colors blend together to make a beautiful pattern. He looked up at Kagome to see her eyes filled with wonder and curiosity. He took slow steps towards her as he kept his eyes on hers.
When Inuyasha was in arm reach of Kagome, he gazed back down at the rose. He twirled it in a few circles before looking back up at Kagome. His honey golden eyes met her chocolate ones as they searched each others in amazement. Inuyasha still couldn't believe that his demon wanted her to be his mate. To have his pups. He wanted to have his future shared with hers. Inuyasha smiled at the thought of being happy with the raven beauty in front of him. He understood why he cared about her so much. His demon called out to him as soon as he seen her in the bathroom. It was like everything was meant to happen for them to even have met.
Inuyasha looked down at the rose to see how perfect it was. 'It's so beautiful. No mistakes to it. Nothing seems to be wrong with it' he looked up at Kagome with a quick glance before his eyes fell down to the rose again. 'It reminds me so much of her. She is pure innocent and her life has those small tragedies that she shouldn't have to deal with. Her mother and brothers death, cutting herself, being bullied at school, starving herself, being in an abusive relationship, and now almost being raped. Kagome needs that light to be replaced in her eyes. I'll just have to help her replace it.' Inuyasha got lost in his thoughts hat he didn't even notice that he was standing there awkwardly.
Inuyasha held the rose out in front of him, between Kagome and him. "Here" he stated simply. Kagome eyed the rose that was held in Inuyasha's hand. Her eyes widened in wonder as she looked at it like it was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen. Kagomes gaze went back and forth from Inuyasha to the perfect rose. "Really?" she asked as her eyes held hope. Inuyasha rolled his eyes playfully at her. "No, I just wanted to do that so I could take it back and keep it for myself and crush your heart" he said in sarcasm.
Kagome giggled at Inuyasha before she reached out for it. Her hand crashed into Inuyasha's when she tried to grab the rose as their eyes both met in unison. It seemed as if time stopped and they were the only two things existing. Kagome and Inuyasha's eyes both widened in surprise as a blush formed on both of their cheeks. Inuyasha searched the chocolate depths of the raven beauty as Kagome searched the soothing honey colored irises that belonged to the familiar hanyou. Kagomes breath hitched in her throat as her body seemed to freeze. Her heart started to pound furiously as butterflies filled her stomach.
'Why am I feeling like this?' Kagome wondered in her head as she couldn't manage to say something or move. Inuyasha felt a warmness spread throughout his body as his heart pounded in his chest. 'Why do I act so weird around her?' Inuyasha asked himself in curiosity as he already knew the answer. 'Duh my demon wants her to be its mate. I don't know if I'll ever get over that or not' Inuyasha thought to himself. They abruptly looked the other way breaking off their gazes as Inuyasha let go of the rose for Kagome to hold.
Kagome brought the rose into her chest with delicate hands like a mother cradling her baby. She gazed down at the rose with wide beautiful eyes that seemed to sparkle when she saw the rose. Kagome took it between her index finger and thumb like Inuyasha did and twirled it around. She saw the pure white and rose red blend together in a unique, beautiful pattern that reminded her of a big, delicate ball gown. She smiled at the thought of the ball gown twirling through the air as a young, beautiful girl danced along with a handsome man. Kagome sighed day dreamingly as she imagined what it would be like. Inuyasha watched her with a smile, knowing that Kagome was happy.
'She's so innocent...how could Koga use her like that? How could someone even think of taking her purity? How could Kikyo and her friends hurt her, cause her unimaginable pain?' Inuyasha watched her with a gentle look as he got lost in his thoughts. Then, he remembered why they were even at his house. Why all of this was happening. 'What could be so important?' he wondered before sighing. He didn't want to interrupt Kagome. Especially after everything she just went through. She looked so calm. So...peaceful and pure. He bowed his head in disappointment before lifting it back up with confidence.
"Hey Kagome," Inuyasha got Kagomes full attention almost immediately "what did you need to talk about?" he asked her. Inuyasha watched Kagomes body physically tense up as her eyes widened. Kagome stopped twirling the rose in her fingers as she watched the ball gown turn back into the rose. Reality set in as Kagome felt disappointment go through her body. 'I almost forgot that this was reality' she thought in honesty. She felt the color drain from her face as she gazed back up at Inuyasha. "Can we just go inside to talk? I think there needs to be a lot of explaining" she stated glumly as her bangs covered her eyes. Inuyasha watched as the light faded in Kagomes eyes. Her smile turned to a small frown.
Inuyasha nodded hesitantly in response before turning towards the house. He waited until Kagome started to walk silently towards the house, her wavy raven locks flowing in the wind freely. He took a deep breath before following behind her, taking silent steps into the house. Inuyasha watched as Kagome gazed at everything in awe. He gazed at her with a smile, getting lost in her eyes before shaking himself out of it and clearing his throat. He nudged her with his elbow gently with a smile. He nudged his head to the side, towards the living room. "Follow me, Miss Kagome" Inuyasha said in a professional voice as he tucked his arm in front of his chest. Kagome giggled at him for Inuyasha to smile. Kagome took his arm as she wrapped her hand around his bicep. Her arm farthest away reached over to wrap around the lower part of his arm. Inuyasha stood straight and tall as he looked down at her with a professional look. In a professional way, he led her into the living room.
Kagome got led by Inuyasha into a big room that would be called a living room. Inuyasha grabbed Kagomes hand gently before walking over towards the plush cream couch. Kagome plopped down on the couch as she felt the plush cushion swarm around her body, making her sigh out in relaxation. Inuyasha plopped down next to her as he waited in silence. He looked down at his hands that were resting in his lap. 'What could possibly be so important?' he asked himself with his mind boggled. "You are probably wondering what I need to tell you" Kagome said as she stared ahead with a blank face. In reality, her heart was pounding hard in her chest. Kagome felt so nervous. 'Why am I randomly telling him this? What will he think?' Kagome had all these questions running through her head, causing her to become even more nervous.
Inuyashas eyes widened in surprise. 'How did she know?' he thought in suspicion. Kagome sighed as she tried to remain calm. 'Don't freak out. Everything will be fine' she thought for a moment before she had the idea 'what if he gets hurt? It will be..all my fault' Kagome cried in her head. She winced internally at the thought. 'Just remain calm about this...he'll understand...won't he?' Kagome asked herself in uncertainty. She clasped her hands together as her thumb brushed the back of her other hand in a gentle way. It soothed Kagome as she sighed, trying to relax. Inuyasha looked at her curiously. 'What could be bothering her so much?' he wondered. He sat there silently for a few more moments before disturbing the silence by speaking up. "Kagome?" he asked in concern.
Kagome sighed again as she shook all the negativeness out of her head. She watched as her toes curled into the fuzzy cream carpet that matched the furniture in the room. Kagome swallowed down the lump in her throat. It was like a big pill that was hard to swallow. She managed to though and hesitantly spoke up. "We've known each other for a while. Inuyasha, if you haven't noticed, especially by how we met in the bathroom, I don't have many people to trust and to support me. You're the only person I trust." Kagome said as she kept her eyes on the carpet and her feet.
'Only person she trusts? I thought she hated me and she keeps on pushing me away though' he thought. Inuyasha glanced at her for a moment before grunting and nodding his head in understanding. "But don't you have your father? Don't you trust him?" Inuyasha suddenly asked as he glanced over for a second time. He was becoming worried for the girl his demon yearned for. Kagome's eyes narrowed when she heard Inuyasha mention the word 'father'. "I'm explaining to you right now Inuyasha. I hope you will understand by the time I'm finished" she said in a gentle tone. Inuyasha widened his eyes in wonder. 'Hope that I'll understand? Understand what?' he wondered.
Kagome's heart was pounding as butterflies were fluttering everywhere in her stomach. They weren't the good kind though. It made her queasy. As if, if Inuyasha didn't understand and somehow rejected her, it would be the end for her. It made her sick to her stomach like she had the flu or something. Like she was about to puke. It reminded her of what it felt like when she got hit in the stomach by Kikyo or her father. 'If only Inuyasha understood' she thought glumly.
She lowered her head in depression as she kept her glance concentrated on the fuzzy cream carpet scrunched up between her toes and the sky blue walls that seemed to go well with the cream. "Inuyasha, I..." Kagome hesitated "I need to tell you something important. I never told anyone else this except for one of my close friends. I had to face a huge consequence so please, whatever you do, don't tell anyone. I beg of you Inuyasha." Kagome said as she clasped her hands together in front of her chest and gave him a pleading look. By then, Inuyasha knew this was serious.
He could see it in the way Kagome searched his eyes in a pleading way. She was pleading him to keep this 'secret' of hers. Kagome searched his eyes a little while longer before Inuyasha finally gave in. He let a sigh escape him as he waved his hand at her, signaling her to not worry. "Fine, fine but this better be a good reason." Inuyasha said with a warning tone. Kagomes eyes widened as she gulped down the uncomfortable lump in her throat.
Kagome held the rose still before setting it down on the glass coffee table that was outlined with cream colored wood. She turned her body to slightly face him as she folded her hands neatly in her lap. Kagome looked down at her lap for a moment before looking back up at the curious hanyou. "Inuyasha, it's a reason but it's not a good one" she hesitantly said. Inuyasha raised an eyebrow at her. Kagome took a deep ragged breath while looking straight ahead before her gaze shifted to Inuyasha.
Kagome gave him a look that had one word. Fear. "You met me in a bathroom. You saw how I looked. All bloody and cut up. I had no one...not even my father" Kagome said hesitantly as she saw Inuyasha's reaction. His eyes widened in shock. 'Her father wasn't there for her? What's going on...?' he wondered. Kagome sighed before starting. "The night of the accident, I woke up in the hospital. Outside in the hallway, I saw a doctor telling my father something. He suddenly crumpled down and cried. Right there in front of everyone. I went out cause when father cried, I knew something was wrong. He told me that mother and brother were in heaven, watching us. They were living up there happy and keeping us safe." Kagome said as a brief smile grazed her face "I cried with him in that hallway as I remember him hugging me. He put his chin on my head and cried along with me, trying his best to comfort me." Kagome said as her eyes started to water. 'How I missed that' she thought. Inuyasha smiled sadly at her as he wrapped his arm around her shoulder in comfort. Kagome looked at him with wide eyes. 'But I don't have to miss it anymore. I have Inuyasha' she thought proudly as her heart pounded.
"When we got home that night, it was late. Well, early in the morning" Kagome corrected herself "My father told me to go to bed. I woke up later on, and checked my clock. It was 2:37 in the morning." Kagome said. She remembered those exact numbers in the back of her head. "I heard my father crying out in the living room. I hated when my parents cried. It made me feel guilty." Kagome admitted as she smiled at the memories of the feeling. "I went outside to check on him. He was the only person I had then" Kagome explained. 'Then? What is she trying to get at?' Inuyasha wondered. "When I walked out, I saw beer bottles everywhere. They were on the floor, on the coffee table, on the couch next to my father, just everywhere. I remember walking up to him and calling out daddy with worry. My father was not a drinker." Kagome explained. She stopped as she closed her eyes gently. 'Here goes nothing' she thought. 'please, just please understand Inuyasha. Comfort me, hold me in your arms, soothe me, make me feel safe and happy, whisper calming and reassuring things in my ear...' Kagome trailed off.
"My father..." Kagome trailed off as she hesitated. Her eyes widened in fear as the memory flashed through her mind. She remembered everything. "Kagome? What happened next? Please tell me...I want to help you" Inuyasha said with worry and concern. He cared for her. 'I'm her only hope' Inuyasha thought 'she trusts me and me only' he said to himself. 'This is the woman that my demon yearns for. That I care for. That I will protect with my life. She's the one that I want to have a future with...have pups with. I want to share my life with Kagome and her only.' Inuyasha finally admitted to himself. He finally admitted that this was his one and only.
Inuyasha smiled inwardly at the thought. He could see it clearly in his head. Everything. She was his everything. Kagome was meant for him and he was meant for her. 'If only she would understand how much I lo-' Inuyasha stopped for a moment. 'Do I...love Kagome?' He asked himself. Inuyasha instantly knew the answer to that question and he didn't fight or deny it. 'I love her. I love Kagome with my whole heart' Inuyasha told himself as some thing soothing and warm went through him. Kagome smiled up at Inuyasha. 'He will understand. No second thoughts' Kagome said to herself. She trusted him with her whole heart.
Kagome sighed as she finally had the guts to say it. "My father turned to me. He looked at me with hatred. Like he didn't recognize me. And I didn't recognize that person. That person in front of me looked like my father but wasn't. Something seemed to possess him to even think of doing that but...he blamed me." Kagome said in a ragged voice. She cried out to Inuyasha as tears of fear, hurt, and sorrow fell down her cheeks. They dripped off to splash onto her hands that rested in her lap. Inuyasha quickly grabbed one of her hands and rubbed the back of it reassuringly with his thumb. His thumb gently caressed her creamy smooth skin as Kagome had silent tears fall. "What did he blame you for Kagome?" Inuyasha asked in a whisper as he searched her eyes with concern.
"He blamed me-he blamed me" Kagome hesitated as she opened her mouth but nothing came out. She stared straight ahead with a hurt look as she slightly shook her head in disbelief. "Kagome-" Inuyasha started. "He blamed me for their death" she blurted out. Inuyasha stopped as he let a small gasp escape him. He widened his eyes in shock. 'Why would he do that to her? It wasn't her fault! That bastard! How could he tell his daughter, only person left from the accident, that?' Inuyasha wondered in bewilderment. Shock ran through his body as he knew he could do nothing about it. He couldn't change the past. He couldn't take the pain and tragedy away from Kagome.
Kagome didn't look at Inuyasha. "He yelled at me and told me that I was a waste of time and space. That I should've died in that accident instead of mom. That it was my fault and that I was a tragedy to him. He told me that he hated me. That I would never be his daughter. He told me that he wished I was never alive. He had this look in his eye that scared me. I never seen him like that. Inuyasha, he got so angry that he..." Kagome hesitated again as she turned towards him and looked into his eyes with fear. She looked up at Inuyasha. She had trust in him. She knew that he wasn't like her father,Koga, or Naraku. 'Inuyasha's one of a kind. He's different than any other person I met. I spot him out from everyone else. I trust him. I know that he won't hurt me. He takes care of me...protects me. He cares about me and my feelings. I don't know why but I can't seem to push him away like everyone else. It's like he refuses to leave my side. Like he wants to stay with me' Kagome thought with a smile as silent tears caressed her cheek.
"Kagome, what did he do to you?" Inuyasha asked urgently. He had concern and worry written all over his face as he searched her eyes for an answer. It was like he was boring into her soul for all of the answers...and Kagome allowed it to happen. "Inuyasha, he got so mad that he...hit me. He struck me. He slapped me. Inuyasha, he did it with a smile on his face. He didn't regret any of it. He took glass from a broken beer bottle and slashed at me with no hesitation. It was entertainment to watch me cry and plead." Kagome finally said. She finally told Inuyasha her little 'secret'. Kagome just wanted to pour out to him every little thing that her father did to her.
Inuyasha stiffened up with shock as he couldn't believe it. 'She can't be serious...' he thought for a moment before seeing her face. She had fear and hurt all over her face. Her eyebrows furrowed together as she closed her eyes and let all her emotion pour out. 'That bastard hit her! He took her for his entertainment and attacked her! I swear I'm going to kill him in a slow and painful death! Kagome doesn't deserve this! She doesn't deserve any of this!' Inuyasha screamed out in his head. His face distorted in disgust as he growled. Inuyasha snarled in disgust as guilt clenched his heart. His stomach was dropping like it jumped off of a skyscraper and was falling for eternity. Inuyasha's gut twisted in knots as he smelt the salty water that escaped Kagomes eyes.
Inuyasha hugged Kagome quickly, needing to feel her in his arms. To feel that she was safe with him. Kagome cried into his shoulder as she knew that she should tell Inuyasha the rest. "Inuyasha..." Kagome said as he let go of her to allow her to back up to see his face. "That's not it..." Kagome said hesitantly, feeling Inuyasha's arms tense up. "That wasn't the only time that has happened." Kagome said as she winced internally, hearing a growl from the hanyou. "He's been doing it often. He does it almost everyday. Inuyasha...my father abuses me. He uses me for himself. I didn't want to tell you because last time I told someone...they got hurt. I didn't want you to get hurt Inuyasha." She explained quickly, feeling the anger floating around Inuyasha.
Inuyasha couldn't understand. 'Why didn't I notice? The bruises that she had all the time...the bruise on her rib, why she pushed me away, why she didn't tell me anything about herself or her past, why did I let this slip by?!' Inuyasha yelled at himself. He blamed himself. 'That bastard is going to die in my hands! I won't allow my mate to get hurt anymore! I won't allow her to stay there any more! I want her to be happy!' Inuyasha screamed in his head, admitting that Kagome was his 'mate-to-be'.
Inuyasha stood up abruptly as he paced the room, filled with anger. He growled deeply before whipping around and punching the wall while screaming, "god dammit!" Inuyasha's fist created a hole in the wall as he breathed heavily. His body was tensed up, wanting to kill the father that hit Kagome for joy. Inuyasha pulled his fist harshly out of the wall as he collapsed to his knees. His bangs covered his eyes as he breathed heavily. "Dammit,dammit,dammit,dammit!" Inuyasha repeated, each time punching the floor. His voice cracked with guilt as his eyes watered. Kagome watched with wide eyes.
She quickly slid off the couch, onto the floor next to Inuyasha. Kagome understood that Inuyasha cared for her and was probably blaming himself. She knelt down in front of Inuyasha and sat on her knees. She leaned in, trying to get a better look of Inuyasha's face. She noticed Inuyasha's red knuckles as they were swelled up and had a few scratches on them. Kagome smiled, knowing that Inuyasha did it for her. "Inuyasha" she said in a stern way "hey Inuyasha, look at me" she said after she didn't get a response the first time. Inuyasha didn't move from his spot as his breathing seemed to become more even and calm. Kagome cupped Inuyasha's chin before lifting it to meet his golden eyes.
She searched them with furrowed eyebrows as her eyes held concern. "I'm right here" she cried out in a stern and urgent murmur through grit teeth. Her voice shook as tears started to form in the corner of her eyes. "I'm safe right now. I'm with you. I'm not with that monster. I'm with you" Kagome said sternly as she searched his eyes. Inuyasha didn't respond or move for a moment before he swept her into his arms gently. His arms wrapped around her waist and upper back as he held her tightly yet gently. Inuyasha put his head into the crook of her neck as he buried his face into her smooth raven locks. He took whiffs of her intoxicating scent before he felt tears fall. They soaked into Kagomes hair as he cried with relief. 'She's alright. She's with me' Inuyasha reassured himself. Those tears were held with relief but also guilt. He was relieved that she was safe at the moment but he was guilty that he never noticed or saved her from that. 'She had to live with that for years...but not anymore' Inuyasha thought.
Kagome rested her chin on his shoulder and hugged Inuyasha back with no hesitation. She felt his tears on her shoulder and only smiled in response. She closed her eyes in comfort before they widened to what she heard. That smile turned to shock as she stiffened when she heard what Inuyasha said next. "Stay here with me."
