Hiya guys! Yeah sorry for the long update but I was gone for parts of June and July and I was working on my other stories. While also figuring out new ones that will come on this site once I finished at least one of my stories which at this point would be Prince Inuyasha meets Kagome. But anyway enough of me babbling and let's get to the chapter you all have been dying for.
Chapter 28: Disaster StrikesKoga and Onigumo's arm collided into each other they both stood on the opposite side of each other with their backs facing each other.
Koga winced and smirked when he heard Onigumo yelp out. Koga glanced over his shoulder to see Onigumo holding his arm that was now bleeding.
He grunted as he turned to face Onigumo still with a smirk, "Still think a puny human like you can defeat me? A full blooded demon?"
Onigumo growled as he narrowed his eyes to look back at Koga, "You will pay for that!" He stood up and got into a fighting position.
"Then come get me." Koga grunted narrowing his eyes as he got into a fighting position.
Onigumo ran towards him and Koga pushed his fist forward to hit Onigumo in the gut but Onigumo jumped over him and was going to kick him but Koga grabbed him by his foot and tossed him throwing him into a wall.
"Gah!" Onigumo yelped out as he slid onto the floor.
"Heh you thought you could catch me off guard?"
Onigumo growled as he looked up at Koga who smirked. His eyes went wide when he saw Bunka walking up behind him.
Onigumo smirked as he started to stand up, "Oh I will catch ya sometime." He looked at Koga and nodded.
Koga arched a brow and heard a snarl coming from behind him. At that exact moment he jumped out of the way just as Bunka's fist slammed into the ground.
Bunka growled as he looked up at him as Onigumo walked up next to him.
Koga narrowed his eyes, "Can't you go one battle without having someone help you? Or are you really that weak?"
Onigumo glared at him, "We'll show you who's weak!" He pointed a finger at Koga, "Attack Bunka!"
Bunka responded by running towards Koga with his fist pulled back. As he was about to punch Koga, Koga quickly jumped over him and while in the air spun his leg around and kicked him in the head making him crash into the wall.
Koga smirked, "Whoops. Sorry about that big guy."
Suddenly he felt something stick to his back, he arched a brow, 'What?' He glanced over his shoulder just as a electrical shock went through his body.
"AHHHHHHHH!" Koga yelled out and before he knew it he was knelt down on the ground. Once the shocks disappeared he opened his eyes and grunted as he tried standing up.
Koga glanced at his knees, 'Damn! Why won't my body move!?'
"You forget Koga." Koga growled as he glanced over his shoulder as Onigumo walked up behind him holding up a scroll now smirking, "We have these scrolls now and Uncle Naraku taught me how to use them so I can use them for my advantage."
"Damn you!" Koga growled out narrowing his eyes at him.
Onigumo chuckled as he looked up at the huge boy, "Bunka why don't we bring him to Uncle Naraku so he can decide what we do with the traitor."
Bunka nodded.
Koga only grunted, 'I am so dead.' He sighed, 'But at least Kagome, Kikyo and Ayame are safe…hopefully.'
Kagome, Kikyo, Inuyasha, Saika, her grandfather and Souta were all in the waiting room at the hospital waiting for the doctor to come in telling them if Ayame is all right. Saika was reading a magazine along with Senior Higurashi and Souta was taking a nap on the couch in the waiting room.
Inuyasha growled softly with his arms crossed as he glanced at Kagome who sat next to him and he could sense that she was worried.
Kagome fiddled with her thumbs, "I hope Ayame is okay."
"Don't worry Kagome." Kagome looked at Kikyo who looked at her with reassurance, "She is Koga's little sister. So I'm sure she'll be okay."
"You know…" Kikyo and Kagome looked up at Inuyasha who narrowed his eyes, "You two haven't told me yet what happened?" He started to growl, "And how Koga's little sister got in your care!?"
Kagome and Kikyo flinched when they heard him growl.
'Oh great. Please don't tell me Inuyasha is already getting jealous.' Kikyo thought and sighed while waving her hands to get his attention, "Hold it dog boy don't go getting mad over this."
Inuyasha grunted, "I will get mad if you don't tell me what the hell happened!?"
"Inuyasha." Inuyasha looked down at Kagome as she glanced at him, "You know the person I was suppose to tutor?"
"Yeah?" Inuyasha replied nodding his head slightly confused of what she was getting at, then a thought popped into his head and growled softly, "Don't tell me the mangy wolf was the one you had to tutor!?"
"No he wasn't the one." Kagome replied shaking her head, "The person I was suppose to tutor was…Onigumo."
"What!?" Inuyasha said loudly with wide eyes, "You were suppose to tutor Onigumo!?"
Kagome and Kikyo nodded their heads with frowns on their faces.
"But of course we didn't know that until…" He looked at Kikyo as she sighed, "Koga opened the door."
"Are you saying that flea bitten wolf is actually living with him!?" Inuyasha asked growling softly.
Kagome and Kikyo nodded.
"Yes both him and his sister were living there." Kikyo replied.
"Yeah but the weird thing is when Onigumo appeared he told him that we were just two sales people." Kagome said softly.
Inuyasha flinched as she continued, "But when Onigumo didn't buy it he told us to take Ayame and run for it."
"Are you telling me that, that mangy wolf protected you guys!?" Inuyasha asked in a slight growl.
Kikyo and Kagome nodded.
Inuyasha just growled softly turning his attention towards the floor, 'In a way that's good but…' He glanced at Kagome who lowered her eyes towards the floor, 'In a way that's bad.'
Kagome let out a sad sigh remembering what happened.
Koga jerked positioning himself in front of the girls including Ayame, he narrowed his eyes, "Kagome, Kikyo!"
Kagome and Kikyo looked at him as he continued to whisper to them, "Take Ayame and get out of here!"
"What!?" Kikyo and Kagome gasped out.
"No Koga! I'm not leaving you!" Ayame yelled at him with her eyes narrowed.
Koga narrowed her eyes gently grabbed her and pushed her back towards Kagome and Kikyo, "Just go Ayame!"
"So she is behind you!" Onigumo shouted showing the anger in his voice.
Koga quickly glanced at the girls," Get out of here!"
Kagome and Kikyo nodded though they were still quite shocked of what he was doing.
Kagome held Ayame's hand, "Come on let's go."
"But…" Ayame turned her attention from Kagome to Koga, "Koga!"
Koga smiled softly at her, "Just stick with Kagome and Kikyo. They should keep you safe."
'I wonder if he's okay.' Kagome thought to herself, 'But why? Why did he just do that? Why did he suddenly want to protect Kikyo and me?'
Kikyo sighed as she leaned her chin on her palm, 'That was a sudden change. Did he do that because he still has feelings for Kagome?' She glanced at Kagome.
"Kagome! Inuyasha! Kikyo!"
Kagome, Kikyo and Inuyasha looked up towards the doors as Sango, Miroku, Ash and Ena came into the room.
"We got your message." Ena said as she ran up to them and looked at them, "Have you heard anything yet?"
Kagome sighed while shaking her head, "No, they haven't told us anything yet."
Inuyasha groaned when he saw her eyes, 'Is she concerned for Ayame? Or Koga?' He sighed turning his gaze away from her, 'I hope its Ayame she's so concern about.'
"Mind telling us what happened?" Sango asked taking a seat in front of Kagome. The others followed and looked at Kagome, Kikyo and Inuyasha.
Onigumo swung open the door catching Naraku's attention from his clear globe.
"Uncle Naraku…" Onigumo snarled just as Bunka tossed Koga on the floor getting a grunt out of him, "We have traitor among us."
Koga growled as he glanced up at Naraku waiting for his answer.
"Really now?" Naraku said with a slight snarl.
"Yes apparently Kagome was right at our front door." Onigumo informed with his eyes narrowed.
"What?" Naraku snarled softly with his eyes narrowed.
Onigumo nodded, "Yes." He glared down at Koga, "I was going to capture her but apparently this stupid wolf prevented me from doing that. He let Kagome, Kikyo and his own sister get away!"
Koga growled glaring up at Onigumo.
"Now why the hell did you let her escape?"
Koga slowly moved his gaze up at Naraku who was now in front of him sitting on top of his desk.
Koga narrowed his eyes and shouted, "I'm done Naraku!" Naraku flinched but kept his glare as Koga continued to shout, "I'm not doing anymore of your dirty work!"
Onigumo slammed his fist into Koga's cheek knocking him to the side a bit.
Koga growled as he glared up at Onigumo, Onigumo growled, "Don't you dare talk to my uncle like that! Especially not after all that he as done for you and your sister!"
He then shouted, "If it wasn't for Naraku you and that stupid sister of yours' would have been out of the streets and probably would have died."
"Oh like you even care!" Koga shouted as he slowly started to stand up. He panted and he held onto his knees and glared at Onigumo, "I doubt you would have cared if I or my sister died. And personally…I would have rather died than helping you hurt Kagome!"
"I won't betray them anymore! You can't make me do it!" Koga continued with a snarl, "And the only reason I was helping you was because of Ayame. But now that she is out of this house and somewhere safe I have nothing preventing me from taking you down!"
"Oh." Naraku replied before smirking, "You think so wolf?"
"So…" Miroku said staring at Kagome and Kikyo, "Koga protected you and Kikyo from being captured by Onigumo?"
Kagome and Kikyo nodded.
"Yes he did." Kikyo said softly.
"And he had us take his younger sister Ayame and let us escape." Kagome said softly with her eyes lowered to the ground.
She squeezed her hands, "But I wonder if he's all right."
Inuyasha grunted as he narrowed his eyes slightly glancing at her, 'So…she is concerned about Koga. But why? Why the hell would she be concerned about that traitor!?'
"So does that mean…" They looked at Ena as she tilted her head, "That Naraku was using Ayame as a way to get Koga to do his work for him?"
"That's the way it seems." Kikyo replied crossing her arms while leaning her back against the chair, "I remember Onigumo saying about having Naraku treating Ayame for something."
"Then does that mean that Ayame is sick with something?" Sango asked turning her gaze from Kikyo and glanced at the others.
Miroku crossed his arms, "Either that or Naraku may have done something to make her sick just so he could get Koga to work for him."
Ash raised a brow, "Who is this Naraku anyway?" Inuyasha and the others looked at him, "And why are you guys so worked up about him?"
"Oh that's right." Ena said changing her position to look at him, "I never told you about Naraku and his evil ways."
"Evil?" Ash repeated.
Ena nodded, "Yep that's right. Naraku is an evil person he use to teach at my, Kikyo and Kagome's old school back in Kyoto." She pointed her finger up at the ceiling, "You see back when us three were in Kyoto Naraku cursed Kagome for whatever reason is still unknown to use."
"Cursed?" Ash repeated arching a brow before turning his attention back at Kagome, "You were cursed Kagome?"
Kagome let out a sad sigh while nodding her head, "Yes. It was a curse that prevented me from talking or feeling any happy emotions and made me have nightmares where the dreams actually made me hurt myself."
"You see Ash…" Ash looked at Kikyo, "The curse was suppose to attack her heart making her weak so when Naraku was ready he would kill her."
Ash's eyes went wide.
"But thanks to us…" Miroku said getting Ash to look at him, Miroku smiled, "Kagome was able to break the curse."
"Heh I figured that much out." Ash snorted out.
"But Naraku hasn't given up." Sango cut in looking at Ash, "Even though his curse on Kagome was broken he is still trying to come up with ways to kill her."
"Feh and the one thing that bugs me about all of this…" They looked at Inuyasha as he grunted with his eyes closed, "He is using teenagers to do his dirty work while he just sits around and watches like a fucking coward."
"Yeah…" Inuyasha opened his eyes as he heard Kagome sigh, "He is a coward. I mean we haven't even seen him once she we broke that curse. The only people we have been encountering was Onigumo." She looked up at Inuyasha, "And all of his minions." Kagome looked at Ash, "But never him."
Ash arched a brow, "But why does he want to kill you so badly? I mean if he is getting so many people to work for him just to come after you…"
Kagome nodded, "Yeah I know. But that is something that we are still trying to figure out but none of us have found out anything."
"Um excuse me…"
Kagome, Inuyasha and the others looked over towards the waiting room doors as a human doctor who looked to be in his early 40's walking in. He had dark brown hair and green eyes.
"Are you guys that little girl's family?" He asked raising a brow.
Kagome gasped and stood up holding her hands like she was praying, "No we're not but her older brother got himself into a fight with a gang and told us to bring her somewhere safe."
"Yeah and we don't know if he's going to make it here or not." Kikyo said as she stood up next to Kagome.
The others just stared at the doctor.
The doctor sighed, "But I think her family would want to hear this."
"But sir…" He looked over at Saika, "Please we have no idea where her brother may be along with her parents. So please just tell us since we are friends with the girl."
The doctor glanced at each other them.
"Sir…" He looked down at Kagome, "Is…is Ayame going to be all right?"
The doctor closed his eyes as he sighed in defeat, "Well she is alive…"
Kagome and the others sighed in relief, even Inuyasha let out the breath he was holding. Sure the girl may be his enemy's sister but she was still a little girl. He would never want to see a girl that young die.
He opened his eyes to stare at them, "But her body is in pretty bad shape."
Kagome, Kikyo and the others stared at him in concern.
"What do you mean?" Sango asked looking up at the doctor.
He looked at his clipboard, "Her immune system is low, her lunges are low, almost everything in her body is low."
"Her body's weak?" Kikyo asked softly with sad eyes.
The doctor nodded while placing his clipboard between his arm and torso, "Yes. I must say I have never seen anything like this before in all my years of medicine."
"But don't cancers usually do this?" Saika asked raising a brow, "She could just have cancer?"
The doctor looked at her, "I assumed that but the thing is…" He narrowed her eyes, "She has no sign of cancer in her body."
"What?" Kagome said softly as her eyes went wide.
"So are you saying her body being weak as nothing to do with cancer?" Ena asked arching a brow, "That's totally bizarre."
"Yes I know." The doctor replied while rubbing his head.
'Naraku.' Kagome thought as she lowered her eyes, 'He must have had something to do with this.'
"So what are you going to do?" Miroku asked softly.
The doctor looked down at him before looking back up at the others, "Well the best thing for her right now is to stay here and get some extra care."
"Yeah that would be a good idea." Kagome replied softly, 'That way she'll be safe. Now I just hope Koga is alive.'
Inuyasha turned his gaze from the doctor to Kagome who was standing in front of her with her head lowered staring at the floor.
He groaned lowering his eyes to stare at the ground with sad eyes as he felt his heart sink, 'Kagome…'
"So what should we do with him uncle?" Onigumo asked while holding Koga by his hair making him wince since he still wasn't really able to move all that well, "Torture him, throw darts at him or better yet…" He smirked at Naraku as he sat in his desk again, "Why don't we just kill the traitor?"
Koga growled at him.
"No." Naraku said calmly.
"No?" Onigumo repeated as both him and Koga raised a brow, "But why not? He let mute girl get away right when could have had her in our grasp."
"Well let's look at it this way Onigumo." Naraku started as he smiled, "If we would have captured the miko right then surely Inuyasha would have barged in and took her back."
Onigumo and Koga stared at him as he continued, "Since I heard from a couple hanyou from that one hanyou gang that Inuyasha was in the neighborhood when they surrounded the girls taking out their leader."
'What?' Koga thought with wide eyes, 'Mutt-face was here!?'
Naraku smirked at Koga, "So in a way Koga protected us."
Koga growled narrowing his eyes, "Why the hell would I protect someone as disgusting as you!?"
"Shut up wolf!" Onigumo shouted as he punched him on the cheek.
Koga grunted in slight pain.
"Didn't I tell you not to talk to him like that?" Onigumo snarled.
Naraku sighed, "But before we kill Kagome…" Onigumo and Koga stared at him as Naraku narrowed his eyes, "We need to get Inuyasha away from her." He looked over at Koga, "Which is why I'm not going to kill you just yet Koga."
Koga grunted narrowing his eyes as Naraku smirked, "Because I still require one thing from you."
Koga growled, as he shouted, "NO! I'm not doing anymore of your dirty work! I refuse!"
"Heh you can't refuse Koga." Naraku snorted.
"Yes I can!" Koga shouted, "Because you haven't forgotten you have nothing to use against me!"
"Yeah…" Naraku smirked as he stretched his cheek slightly, "I remember you saying that before." He glanced at him, "But you are wrong Koga…I still have something to use against you."
Koga flinched, "Wha-What?"
"Allow me to show you." Naraku said while waving his hand over the crystal ball.
Koga watched attentively as the orb started to become cloudy but once it cleared up he gasped as he saw Ayame in a hospital bed sleeping soundly.
"Ayame!?" Koga shouted out half relieved and half not, 'Good, she's okay. But…' He raised a brow, 'Why is she in the hospital?'
"As you can see Koga…" Koga narrowed his eyes as he looked up at Naraku and almost gagged when he saw Naraku smirk, "You sweet baby sister is sleeping soundly. But…" He placed a finger on the globe which soon was engulfed in a black aura, "What if I place my finger right here?"
Koga watched as Naraku's black aura from his hand started to circle around the crystal ball.
He's eyes went wide noticing Ayame starting to stir squeezing her eyes shut. Ayame then started to scream bloody murder as she began squirming with force.
"AYAME!" Koga shouted and glared at Naraku and yelled out, "What the hell are you doing to her!?"
"It's not what I'm doing." Naraku replied still smiling, "It's what you're doing to her. You're the one that's making me do this."
Koga was about to shout at him but his ears twitched as Ayame's scream became louder, "Ayame!"
"Choose Koga." Naraku snarled out watching Koga's eyes widen as he watched his sister being tormented, "The miko and her friends…or the life of your baby sister!"
Koga just stared thinking of what to do as he watched Ayame scream out in pain. He closed his eyes narrowing his eyebrows before kneeling down on the floor, "Alright I'll…" Koga lowered his head, "I'll do what you say. Just please stop hurting Ayame."
Naraku snorted smirking as he took his hand away from the orb, "Good choice Koga."
Koga narrowed his eyes as he panted, 'One day Naraku you will be the one that will be feeling pain! Just you wait your time will come I swear it!'
"Now class today we will be talking about the myth that has been past down from the Feudal Era to today's generation." Mrs. Mogya explained to her students as she stood at the chalkboard with her textbook in hand.
Some of the students stared at her as she lectured to the class while others whispered to each other, slept or working on other assignments from different classes.
"The myth is about demons who were able to suck out powers from any creature he or she wanted. Making him or she practically invisible." Mrs. Mogya informed while glancing at her textbook.
"But Mrs. Mogya?" Ash said loudly raising his hand.
"Yes Ash?" She asked looking over at him.
Ash furrowed a brow, "How can a demon be able to suck up another's power? Did it have some sort of ritual or something?"
"Well according to the myth, yes they did have to perform some sort of ritual in order to get the power that they wish." Mrs. Mogya explained.
Ena raised her hand.
"Yes Ena?" Mrs. Mogya asked while pointing at her.
Ena brought her hand down, "Did the being have to be alive in order to do it? Or can the being be dead?"
"Well of what they say it really doesn't matter. The demon can choose to have the being dead or alive. It would all depend of what ritual they want to perform." Mrs. Mogya replied nodding her head.
"What but I thought you said they just had to perform one?" A male student pointed out loudly while arching a brow.
"No I said they had to perform some sort of ritual." Mrs. Mogya pointed out pointing her finger up at the ceiling, "I never said they had to perform one ritual. There are two types of rituals that the demon can choose to perform."
She placed her textbook on her wooden stand and lifted up her arms, "One ritual…" She lifted up her right hand, "The being has to be alive and the other…" She lifted up her left hand, "The being has to be dead in order to do it."
"How can a demon do the ritual when the being is dead?" Ash asked raising a brow rubbing his chin a bit, "I mean if they are dead wouldn't the soul of the being take the powers with them to the afterlife?"
"That's what you would think." Mrs. Mogya replied glancing at him, "But there must be an extra step the demon has to do before performing that one ritual."
The students started to talk to one another about what the extra step would be.
"But remember!" The students looked back up at Mrs. Mogya as she smiled them while waving her hands, "This is only just a myth. I doubt anyone would be stupid enough to actually try doing that, especially if it's made up."
Ena lowered her head as she said that, 'I think someone may be dumb enough to do that.' Ena sighed as she leaned her chin on her palm, 'Or should I say greedy enough to do it.'
Kagome let out a soft sigh as she leaned her jaw on her hand while looking up at Mrs. Mogya, "That sure is an interesting myth."
"Yeah…" She heard Inuyasha sigh out, "It is very interesting."
Kagome looked over at him, "You okay Inuyasha?"
"Mm?" Inuyasha hummed looking back at her, "Of course I am why would you be asking that?"
Kagome frowned, "I don't know. You just don't seem…like your usual self."
"Neither do you." Inuyasha pointed out with his eyes slightly narrowed, "You've been sighing ever since this morning. Mind telling me what's going on?"
"Kagome! Inuyasha!"
Inuyasha and Kagome flinched quickly turning their attention back towards Mrs. Mogya who narrowed her eyes.
"Please don't talk while I'm talking." Mrs. Mogya scolded, "Especially when it will on the test next Friday."
Kagome and Inuyasha lightly chuckled, "Yeah…right."
Mrs. Mogya sighed and turned her attention back towards the class, "So as I was saying."
Inuyasha glanced back at Kagome, 'I bet she is hung up on Koga.' He narrowed his eyes.
Kagome lowered her eyes now staring at her desk, 'No one has seen Koga or Onigumo at all today. I hope nothing happened to Koga or else Ayame would be all alone.' She glanced up at Mrs. Mogya, 'And I would hate to see her all alone, especially when she's so weak right now.'
BRRIIINNNGGGGG
"Okay class now for tomorrow I want you guys to come up with your own myth." Mrs. Mogya yelled to the class as they began walking out of the room, "And they better not be copies of already made myths or someone elses' or else it's an automatic F!"
"Why does she even bother saying that?" Ash said as he stood up and walked up next to Ena's desk, he looked at her as she looked up at him, "I mean I'm sure someone is going to do that."
Ena sighed, "Well she just has to keep reminding people." She held her stuff in her arms, "No matter how many times it takes to get in their peanut sized brains."
Ash chuckled, "Yeah…that is true."
Ena smiled and looked back at Kagome and Inuyasha who were silent as they stood up next to each other.
She frowned, "I wonder what's wrong with those two."
"Mm?" Ash hummed as he looked at Inuyasha and Kagome.
"Those two have been acting strange since last night." Ena pointed out as she observed them.
Ash sighed, "It probably has something to do with Koga."
Ena looked at him and sighed as she looked back at them, "Yeah probably." 'I'm getting a bad feeling about this.'
"Come on." Ena looked up at Ash as he tilted his head towards the door, "Let's give them sometime to themselves. They might work things out better if we're not around."
Ena stared at him before nodded, "Yeah good idea."
She glanced back at Kagome and Inuyasha as she followed Ash out of the door, 'Please God! Let them work things out.'
Kagome looked up at noticed Ash and Ena leaving, "Mm looks like Ash and Ena are leaving without us."
"Mm?" Inuyasha said softly looking over his shoulder just as Ash and Ena turned the corner, "They probably want to go make out or something."
Kagome chuckled lightly, "Yeah I wouldn't doubt it." She smiled as she stared at the door, "Those two make a great couple." She looked up at Inuyasha, 'I hope you and I will be a couple soon Inuyasha. It will be the best day of my life.'
"Come on." Her head jerked as she noticed him walking towards the door, he looked at her, "Let's get to lunch before all the good stuff is taken."
Kagome chuckled with a smile as she rolled her, "Always worrying about the food. That is so like you Inuyasha."
Inuyasha turned a slight pink before snorting as he turned his head away, "Keh who doesn't love food?"
Kagome just chuckled as she walked up to him, 'Inuyasha is the only person who can make me feel better.'
They walked out of the history room and walked in total silence down the hall. But one thing about the silence…it was a silence that neither of them liked.
Kagome fiddled with her binder, 'Why isn't Inuyasha talking to me?' She glanced up at him, 'Is he mad at me or something?'
"Hey…Inuyasha?" Kagome said softly leaning forward a bit to look at his face catching his attention, "Is something the matter?"
Inuyasha grunted now looking at her with slightly narrowed eyes, "What makes you think that something is wrong?"
Kagome flinched a bit when she saw him narrow his eyes at her and sighed, "Well…you're not talking to me, and usually you would be talking to me about…at least one thing." Inuyasha stared at her as she looked up at him with concerned eyes, "Did I do something to make you mad?"
"No…you didn't do anything that would make me mad." Inuyasha reassured her, "It's more along the lines of something that is making me worry about you." When Inuyasha said that he turned a light red causing him to turn his eyes away from her.
Kagome cheeks turned a light pink, "I made you worry?"
"Well…yeah." Inuyasha replied shyly crossing his arms before looking back down at her, "Just the way you acted this morning could make anyone worry, especially the way you were sighing."
Kagome sighed as she lowered her head, "Yeah…I had something on my mind this morning."
Inuyasha looked at her to see her again with sad eyes, he narrowed his eyes, "Let me guess it had something to do with that flea bitten wolf doesn't it?"
Kagome looked up at him, "Well I am a little worried about him."
Inuyasha grunted keeping his eyes narrowed, 'I knew it! So she was hung up on him!'
"But I'm more worried about Ayame."
Inuyasha looked at her with an arched brow, "Why are you more worried about her?"
"Duh! She has a weak body right now!" Kagome said loudly making Inuyasha jerk back at bit, "And I'm betting you Naraku was the one who made her body that weak!"
"But besides all that…" Kagome said softly, "I just don't want Ayame to be all alone."
"All alone?" Inuyasha repeated raising a brow, "What do you mean?"
Kagome looked up at him, "There had to be a reason why Koga and Ayame were living with Onigumo. Which I'm guessing is because their parents were killed, either by Naraku or someone else." Her eyes became sad, "And if they are the only ones left of their family and if Koga dies then Ayame will be all by herself."
Inuyasha softened his glare, which now became sad, 'I…' He looked at the floor, 'I never thought about that.'
"And if Koga dies…" Inuyasha looked back at her as she stared down the hall while saying softly, "I would never be able to live with myself or be able to look at Ayame again."
Kagome looked up at him and stood in front of him making him stop to stare at her, "It's also the same with you guys." She looked at him with her sad yet scared eyes, "If any of you were to die by Naraku's hands all because of me…I would never be able to forgive myself for letting that happen."
Inuyasha stared at her with soft eyes, "Kagome."
He lowered his head and walked up to Kagome until he was just a few millimeters away from her.
He looked down at her with soft eyes, "Kagome…if Koga did die he did it in order to protect you and his sister."
"How can I live with something like that on my shoulders!" Kagome replied loudly placing her hand over her chest and gripping onto her shirt, "Sure Koga and I aren't on good terms right now but still…" She looked up at him with teardrops hanging from the sides of her eyes, "I would never want him to die because of me!" Kagome lowered her head so her bangs were covering her eyes, 'If Inuyasha was in Koga's place…I would probably die if I ever found out that he died trying to protect me. I would never be able to go on if anyone…especially Inuyasha, would have died all because of me!'
Inuyasha gasped as he felt Kagome wrap her arms around his waist and leaned into his chest while gripping onto his shirt, "K-Kagome?"
"Inuyasha promise me." Kagome said softly.
"Promise you what?" Inuyasha asked softly slightly confused.
Kagome hugged him tighter, "Promise me…that you won't die. Promise me that if Naraku comes after us that you won't let yourself die." She cried softly in his chest, "And that you will stay by my side no matter what!"
Inuyasha let out a soft sigh as he wrapped his around her and tightened his grip around her.
"I promise." He said softly inhaling her sweet scent, "I promise I won't die and that I'll stay by your side…no matter what."
"Awww." Ena said softly as her and Ash peeked over the corner that lead towards the lunchroom, "That was so adorable!"
Ash glanced down at her, "You know Inuyasha is probably going to kill us once he finds out that we were eavesdropping on them."
"Feh who cares." Ena snorted while glancing up at him, "Especially when he has done it before."
"But I'm sure most of those times he couldn't really help it." Ash pointed out and tweaked his ears, "I mean he does have the dog ears."
Ena sighed, "Well if he does then we'll just say we were just passing by when we saw them."
"I doubt that will work." Ash replied.
"I'm sure he will." Ena replied turning her gaze back towards Inuyasha and Kagome, "He can be a bit dense sometimes."
"Who's calling me dense!?"
Ena flinched when she heard Inuyasha yell that out.
Ash glanced down at her, "A dense person with good hearing."
BUNK
"Ow!" Ash yelped out as Inuyasha bunked him on the head.
"Will you stop calling me that!?" Inuyasha shouted with a vein popping out of his fist.
Ash glared at him and pointed at Ena, "But she was the one who called you stupid."
"Hey!" Ash looked down at her as she narrowed her eyes at him, "Are you implying that he should hit me?"
Ash flinched, "No! I'm just asking why I'm the one that's getting punished for something that you said?"
"Because I don't hit girls you idiot!" Inuyasha growled out.
Ena and Ash looked at him watching him as he crossed his arms, "The only girls I want to hit are Ayano, Beniko and Cheika."
Ena smiled, "Wow right now I am really glad that I am a girl that you don't hate."
Ash grumbled while rubbing his sore head, "Speak for yourself."
Kagome only chuckled.
"So did Mrs. Mogya tell you guys about the myth that has been going around since the Feudal Era?" Kikyo asked looking at Ena who she sat next to.
Ena nodded as she leaned into Ash's shoulder, "Yeah and I must say that myth is pretty interesting but mysterious in it's own way."
"What's the myth?" Sango asked before taking a sip of her water.
"Oh that's right you two didn't have it yet." Ena replied looking at Miroku and Sango who shook their heads.
"Well the myth is about demons being able to suck out a power from a creature of it's choice. But in order to do that they need to perform a ritual." Ena informed.
"And according to Mrs. Mogya there are two different rituals that the demon can choose to do." Ash explained wrapping his arm around Ena's waist, "They can either choose one that it must have the being alive or choose the one that the being has to be dead for."
Sango raised a brow, "How is that possible? I'm sure when a being dies their power should go with them in the afterlife right?"
"Well Mogya did say that the one with the dead being the demon would have to do an extra step." Inuyasha pointed out while stuffing in some ramen in his mouth.
"Don't you ever get anything other than ramen?" Ena asked waved her hand slightly towards Inuyasha.
Inuyasha narrowed his eyes, "Of course I do! This is just the only food that is good at this school!"
Ena just rolled her eyes.
"But what extra step would they need to do?" Miroku asked getting Ena and Inuyasha's attention again.
Ena shrugged, "I don't know. Maybe some sort of spell?"
Inuyasha sighed and looked down towards Kagome to see her working on some homework, "What are you working on this time?"
Kagome groaned as she looked up at him, "Science homework. I still have a lot of catching up to do. Since I didn't get any of my homework done yesterday with all that commotion going on."
"Well either way the myth sounds a bit interesting." Ash replied getting their attention, "I might look more into it. Just to see if there were any information that Mrs. Mogya probably didn't know."
"Yeah and if you do find anything you should probably tell us what you found out." Ena advised.
"Why?" Inuyasha asked raising a brow, "It's just some stupid myth."
"Yeah I must agree with Inuyasha here." Kikyo said pointing a finger at Inuyasha while looking at Ena, "Why do you want look up that stuff when it may have not even be true?"
Ena looked at her, "Well there may be some people dumb enough to try that myth."
"Keh who would be dumb enough to fall for that garbage?" Inuyasha snorted narrowing his eyes at Ena.
"Oh I don't know maybe…" Ena narrowed her eyes, "Naraku."
Everyone's eyes went wide as Kagome snapped her pencil tip as she heard the name Naraku and looked up at Ena with wide eyes.
"N-Naraku?" Kagome repeated softly before raising a brow, "Why are you bringing him up?"
"Come you guys think about it." Ena said while waving her finger, "Naraku is a greedy enough demon to try that myth." She looked over at Kikyo, "I mean didn't you guys tell me that Naraku is a demon that hates people who are stronger than him?"
"Yeah." Sango replied while nodding her head with slight shock.
Ena looked at her, "Then come on don't you guys think Naraku would try to it?"
They all stared at her before lowering their eyes taking in what Ena just told them.
Kagome looked down at her homework, 'Would Naraku…really believe that myth?'
Kagome looked up at the sky as she walked home with Inuyasha, Kikyo, Ena, Sango and Miroku with Rin and Sesshoumaru walking up ahead of them.
'Could Ena be onto something?' She wondered to herself as she glanced back at Ena as she laughed at Miroku who had a slap mark on his face with a flustered Sango walking next to him.
She lowered her eyes, 'Could that be what Naraku is trying to do? But why would he-'
"What did you do now Miroku?" She heard Inuyasha snort out snapping her out of her thoughts.
Kagome looked up at Inuyasha as he narrowed his eyes at Miroku.
Ena pointed at him, "Apparently he is still thinking perverted thoughts."
Inuyasha sighed, "What did you guys say that got him to think in the first place?"
Miroku shrugged, "All I said was that Sango had a nice butt."
Ena gave him a blank stare, "Yeah…after the wind blew and lifted up her skirt."
Kagome and Inuyasha gave him a blank stare.
"You sure that he didn't lift up the skirt on purpose?" Inuyasha asked while grunting.
"I would never do such a thing." Miroku replied now offended.
"He is actually telling the truth Inuyasha." Ena bumped in getting the two to look at her, "It really was the wind that started it."
Kikyo sighed, "You know…" They looked at her as she looked up at them while crossing her arms, "This is one thing I hate about these school uniforms, especially for girls."
"Yeah the skirts are very annoying." Kagome agreed as she fiddled with her skirt, "Especially when it's a windy day."
"Well I don't mind it one bit." Miroku replied with a bright smile.
Sango glared at him, "That's only because you're enjoying the view."
"Ah but it's only yours'…" Miroku wrapped his arm around Sango's waist as he gave her a charming smile, "That I enjoy the most."
Sango gaped as she turned a dark red before growling.
"You pervert!" She growled out crossing her arms as she turned her head away from Miroku who only chuckled while rubbing his now beet red cheek.
Inuyasha rolled his eyes, 'That guy will never change, even if he does have a girlfriend.'
Kikyo sighed and walked up next to Kagome, "So Kagome?"
Kagome looked at her as she continued, "Do you think we should pay Ayame a visit?"
Kagome thought about it and smiled, "Yeah I think we should." She tilted her head, "Since we have no idea what happened to Koga and I think having a couple of friendly faces might help her stay strong."
Kikyo returned the smile and looked back at Sango, Miroku and Ena, "Hey guys?"
They looked up at her as she continued, "Do you guys want to come with us to see Ayame?"
Ena smiled, "Yeah of course I want to see her."
Sango smirked turning her gaze from Ena to Kagome and Kikyo, "I'll go too. I would like to know how she's holding up."
"Well if Sango's going…" Miroku smiled nodding his head, "Then I'm going too."
Kagome smiled before looking up at Inuyasha, "Are you going to come with us too Inuyasha?"
Inuyasha looked down at her and gave her a small smile, "Of course. I'm not letting you go anywhere without me."
Kagome smiled, 'Looks like he's back to his normal overprotective self. Well that's a huge relief off of my shoulders.'
Ena smiled, 'Good. I'm guessing those two worked things out.' She frowned as another gust of wind blew past them, 'But why am I still getting this feeling that something bad is going to happen?'
Inuyasha, Kagome and the others walked into the hospital and glanced around as they watched the nurses and doctors walking down and up the halls either helping their patients or walking with each other talking about things.
Kagome glanced around until her eyes set upon the service desk.
She smiled as she walked up towards the desk catching her friends' attention making them follow in pursuit.
"Uh excuse me?" Kagome said politely catching the nurse at the desk's attention.
"Yes may I help you?" She asked as she looked up at Kagome and her friends from her computer.
Kagome smiled, "Um we were hoping to be able to visit the little wolf girl named Ayame. So can we see her?"
"Let me just check to make sure she's awake." The nurse said kindly as she went towards the phone and dialed the number to Ayame's room.
"Uh yes I have a couple of young people here wanting to see the girl Ayame." She reported the nurse that answered the phone, "Is Ayame up?"
The nurse stood there listening to what the other nurse had to say, "Uh ah. Yeah? Okay I'll tell them." She hung up the phone and smiled at them, "Ayame is just waking up. So you guys can go see her. Her room is 128."
Kagome, Kikyo and their others, expect Inuyasha, smiled and waved at her before walking down the hall towards Ayame's room.
"I hope Ayame will be happy to see us." Ena said with a hopeful smile.
"I'm sure she will." Kikyo replied smiling at Ena, "As long as she's not alone I'm sure she'll be fine."
"But won't she be a little scared seeing a couple new faces in her room?" Sango asked arching a brow.
Kikyo shrugged, "We won't know until we get there. But I'm sure she'll be fine once we introduce you guys to her."
Kagome just gave her friends a warm smile, 'Ayame will be so happy.' She sighed, 'I just hope Koga comes to see her soon, since that will make her extremely happy.'
"Hey Ena?" Ena looked back at Inuyasha, he raised a brow while crossing his arms, "Wasn't Ash gonna to walk you home today?"
Ena just smiled softly, "He had to leave school early because of a dentist appointment."
"He never said anything about that." Kagome pointed out raising a brow.
Ena looked at her, "He probably didn't say anything to you guys because he probably just forgot to tell you."
"Well he certainly didn't forget to tell you." Sango pointed out while crossing her arms staring at Ena.
"Well duh! I am his girlfriend so he at least had to tell me." Ena pointed out glancing at Sango.
Sango nodded, "Yeah that is true."
"Hey kids!"
Kagome and the others jumped a bit quickly looking besides them as a doctor appeared from the shadows of the hall they just past.
"Uh…hey." They replied with a weak smile and chuckled lightly, 'Did he have to make us jump like that?'
The doctor smiled as he patted his hand on Kagome's back making her jerk forward a bit, "So what are young people like you doing here?"
"Oh we are just visiting a friend." Kagome replied continuing to give him a weak smile, 'This guy is creepy.'
The doctor just smiled as he started to rub Kagome's shoulder, "Well that is so sweet of you guys. We have a lot of patients here that hardly get any visitors."
Inuyasha growled softly while narrowing his eyes as he squeezed his arms with his claws, 'Why is he touching her like that?' The doctor looked at him and smiled, Inuyasha only growled in return, 'What is it about this doctor…that pisses me off?'
"Yeah…it is." Kagome replied weakly, 'Please let go of me!'
The doctor nodded taking his arm off of Kagome's shoulder and waved to them as he walked away from them, "Hope you enjoy your visit."
The others just stared at him as they watched him go down another hallway.
"Man that guy was creepy." Sango pointed out narrowing her eyes at him.
"Yeah I did not like the way he was holding Kagome." Miroku replied with his eyes narrowed as well.
"Me neither." Inuyasha grunted out narrowing his eyes.
"Oh come on guys." They looked at Kagome who smiled, "He's gone so let's just go see Ayame and then we can get out of here."
Kikyo nodded, "Yeah let's not keep Ayame waiting."
Kagome smiled as she walked up next to Kikyo while the others looked at each other before following them in pursuit.
In the shadows of the hallway the doctor peeked over the corner and smirked as his eyes changed to red eyes, "Heh that was a lot easier than I thought." He lowered his eyes watching the young teens walk away, 'Soon Kagome will be in my grasp.'
The doctor then disappeared.
Ayame was in her bed with the TV on though she wasn't really paying attention to it. She was lost in her own little world.
Koga jerked positioning himself in front of the girls including Ayame, he narrowed his eyes, "Kagome, Kikyo!"
Kagome and Kikyo looked at him as he continued to whisper to them, "Take Ayame and get out of here!"
"What!?" Kikyo and Kagome gasped out.
"No Koga! I'm not leaving you!" Ayame yelled at him with her eyes narrowed.
Koga narrowed her eyes gently grabbed her and pushed her back towards Kagome and Kikyo, "Just go Ayame!"
"So she is behind you!" Onigumo shouted showing the anger in his voice.
Koga quickly glanced at the girls," Get out of here!"
Kagome and Kikyo nodded though they were still quite shocked of what he was doing.
Kagome held Ayame's hand, "Come on let's go."
"But…" Ayame turned her attention from Kagome to Koga, "Koga!"
Koga smiled softly at her, "Just stick with Kagome and Kikyo. They should keep you safe."
She frowned, 'Why did he do that? Was he actually going to fight Onigumo?' She looked out the window, 'I wonder if he's okay?'
"Ayame?"
"Mm?" Ayame hummed as she looked towards the door as her nurse walked in with a smile.
"You have visitors." Her nurse said with a warm smile.
Ayame gasped, "Koga!?" She leaned forward to look behind her only to groan in disappointment when she saw that it wasn't Koga but Kagome and Kikyo and their friends, "Oh it's you guys."
"You don't sound to happy to see us." Inuyasha pointed out looking at her with a blank stare.
Kagome frowned and placed her backpack on a chair in a the corner and walked up next to Ayame's bedside, "You were expecting Koga weren't you?"
Ayame sighed while nodding her head, "Yes." She looked up at her, "Though I'm not saying I'm not happy that you are here. I am! I just…"
"You just want to see your older brother." Kagome finished for her with a soft voice, "That's understandable. He is, after all, your only brother."
Ayame grunted while nodding her head, "Yes." She looked up at them, "And he's the only living relative I have."
Kagome and the other's eyes went wide.
'I knew it!' Kagome thought to herself.
"What happened to your parents?" Kikyo asked as she walked up next to Kagome with an arched brow.
Ayame frowned, "They were killed."
"Killed?" Sango repeated, "But who?"
Ayame sighed as she shook her head, "I don't know. I was really little when it happened." She stared at them, "The only thing I know was that they were murdered and some guy named Naraku took me and Koga in."
"Naraku!?" They repeated with wide eyes.
Ayame nodded slowly while closing her eyes sadly.
'Naraku must have been the one that killed their parents.' Miroku thought as he stared at the young girl, 'And took Koga and Ayame in so he could use them for his own sick advantage.'
Ayame opened her eyes, "Did…did Koga go to school today?"
Kagome and Kikyo frowned before shaking their heads.
"No he wasn't there." Kagome replied softly.
Ayame groaned turning her head to look at her sheets, 'Koga…'
"So how are you feeling Ayame?" She heard Kagome ask softly.
Ayame looked up at her, "I'm okay. Other than the fact that I miss Koga."
Kagome sighed, "Figured as much."
"Ah I wouldn't worry about him." Inuyasha snorted closing his eyes as he turned his head away from Ayame and Kagome at they looked at him. He didn't call Koga any names because he was in front of Koga's little sister and knew she would probably bark at him for that.
"Why shouldn't I worry when Onigumo could have hurt him?" Ayame asked loudly with a few tears falling from her eyes.
Inuyasha glanced at her, "He's a full demon remember?" Ayame flinched as he reminded her of that, he narrowed his eyes, "So I doubt Koga would let a puny human hurt him. So I'm sure he's okay."
Ayame sighed as she lowered her eyes now looking down at the tiled floor, "I hope you're right."
"Oh!" They looked at Kagome as she clapped her hands, she smiled at Ayame, "I may have something to cheer you up."
Kagome turned and walked over towards her bag.
Ayame stared at her and sighed as she looked up at the others, "So who are you guys?"
Inuyasha and the others looked at her as she arched a brow, "Are you guys friends with Koga or something?"
Inuyasha grunted while muttering, "You wish."
Kikyo jabbed him in the stomach with her elbow making him grunt out loudly.
He narrowed his eyes at her, "What was that for?"
Kikyo glared at him, "You know what that was for. So I suggest you don't talk about Koga like that around Ayame!"
Inuyasha only snorted turning his head from her.
Kikyo sighed and smiled at Ayame, "Yeah we are friends with him." She placed her hand over her chest, "I'm Kikyo remember? The girl that helped you get away from that house yesterday?"
Ayame raised a brow while tilting her head slightly before Kikyo's face clicked in her head.
She snapped her fingers, "Oh yeah…now I remember. So are these guys your friends then?"
Kikyo nodded, "Yes the boy with the dog ears is Inuyasha, the other guy is Miroku, the girl next to him is Sango and the girl on the other side of Inuyasha is Ena." Kikyo chuckled while pointing back at Kagome, "And the girl going towards her backpack is Kagome."
"Yeah…" Ayame said softly glancing at her, "I remember her."
Kagome smiled as she reached her back only to raise a brow as she noticed a piece of paper slightly sticking out of one of her bag's pockets, 'What's this?' She pulled it out of the pocket, 'I don't remember stuffing a piece of paper in there.'
Kagome opened it and read it.
She suddenly gasped as her eyes shot wide open, 'Wha…' Her hands started to shake slightly as she held the note in her palms tightening her grip on it, 'What is this!?'
"Kagome?" Inuyasha called out looking over at her only to see her staring at something, he raised a brow, 'What's she looking at?' He shook his head before shouting out, "Hey Kagome!"
Kagome flinched and quickly turned around hiding the piece of paper behind her, which he noticed, 'What was that?'
She gave him a fake smile, "Y-Yes Inuyasha?"
Inuyasha looked up at her and raised a brow, "Are you going to give Ayame whatever it is you're wanna give her? Or are you just going to stand there and keep her waiting?"
Kagome's head jerked as he reminded her of that and she smiled, "Oh I just remembered I accidentally left it at home."
"Kagome what's with you and living things at your house?" Sango asked looking back at Kagome.
"Yeah I know." She gently bunked her head with a weak smile, "Dumb me."
Kagome picked up her bag and placed on her shoulders, "I'll just quickly go home and get it.
"What?" Ena said furrowing a brow, "You are going to go home and get it and come right back?"
Kagome tilted her head, "Is something wrong with that?"
"But probably by the time you get back we'll be all gone." Ena replied turning to face her.
"If you are going to do something like that…" Kikyo crossed her arms, "Why don't you just bring it to her tomorrow?"
"Oh but Ayame deserves to have it today." Kagome said giving them another fake smile while waving her hand towards them.
She scratched her head trying to figure out how to get out of there, her head jerked as an idea clicked in her head.
Kagome smiled, "But maybe you guys are right. Having me go there and come back would be a waste of time." She went into her bag and took out her cell phone and looked up at them, "So I'll just call my mom and tell her to bring them here."
"Uh…you sure you want to bother her with something like this?" Sango asked arching a brow.
Kagome shrugged, "I'm sure she wouldn't mind. She's probably home from work anyway and if it's for Ayame I'm sure she'll be here with the thing for Ayame."
With that said she opened her cell phone and went through her address book, 'Who can I call?' Her head jerked as she read Rieko's name and pressed the dial button to dial it.
Kagome placed the phone on her ear, 'Sorry about this Rieko but I'm really in a desperate situation right now!'
"Hello?" She heard Rieko answer.
"Oh hey mom I need to ask you a favor." Kagome said while tapping her feet.
"Mom? Kagome is that you? Why did you just call me mom?" Rieko asked and Kagome could tell she was confused by the tone in her voice.
"You see I'm here at the hospital with my friends visiting Ayame."
"Who the heck is Ayame? Kagome what the heck is going on?"
"And I was wondering if you could bring Ayame's present over here you know so Ayame could do something while she's here?" Kagome asked trying to ignore Rieko's questions.
"Kagome why the heck are you asking me all this?" Rieko asked loudly and Kagome could tell she was getting irritated.
"Oh thank you mom. I'll be waiting outside the door for you okay. Love you too bye." Kagome said with a fake smile as she hung up before Rieko could say anything else.
Kagome immediately started feeling guilty, 'Sorry Rieko. I'll call you back once I take care of this.'
Kagome then smiled at her friends, "Well I'm going out by the doors and wait for and I'll be back in a bit okay."
Inuyasha was about to say something when Kagome ran out of the door.
"Hey Kagome!" Inuyasha shouted out as he stood at the opening of the door and peeked out the door to see that she had disappeared in the crowd of doctors and nurses and patients.
He grumbled, "Jeez…what was that all about?"
"Yeah I'll admit…" He looked back at Kikyo, "That was a bit…weird."
Sango looked at Miroku, "Do you think she was telling us the truth?"
Miroku shrugged, "She could have been. But with the way she was acting…I think she could have been lying."
Inuyasha grumbled as he leaned against the frame of the door, "Gee that is so comforting Miroku."
Miroku and the others looked at him as Inuyasha narrowed his eyes, 'You better not have been lying Kagome.'
Kagome panted as she made it out the hospital door and sighed leaning on the hospital walls, "I hope…they bought that."
She frowned as she looked at the note again.
Kagome,
Just letting you know I placed a bomb in the hospital and if you don't come out the park, by yourself, well then you can just say goodbye to your life…and your friends. It's your choice Kagome but with either choice…there is one consequence. See you at the park.
Naraku
Kagome sighed stuffing the note in her skirt pocket, "I don't know if he was lying or telling the truth." She narrowed her eyes, "But I rather not risk it."
She was about to walk away when a thought clicked in her head, "Oh but before I forget." She dug into her backpack and took out a box of chocolate and ran back inside to the nurse at the desk.
The nurse looked at her, "Yes may I help you?"
Kagome smiled softly as she put the box on the desk, "Can you give this to my friend Inuyasha if he comes by here to give to Ayame?"
The nurse took the box stared at it for a bit and arched a brow at her, "Shouldn't you be the one that give this to her?"
Kagome shook her head, "Oh my mom just pulled up and she wanted me to come home with her so I could watch my little brother."
"Oh…okay then well I hope you visit Ayame again." The nurse said slowly nodding her head.
Kagome smiled, "Oh don't worry I will." She stopped for a minute, "Oh and can you give my friends that message as well that way they don't worry."
The nurse stared at her while slowly nodding her head again, "Uh yeah sure I'll give them that message."
Kagome smiled as she walked backwards, "Thank you so much." She then turned to run out the door while waving back at her, "Bye!"
Kagome then ran out of the hospital and down the sidewalk towards the park, 'Don't worry guys I'm going to settle things with Naraku here and now!'
Inuyasha started tapping his foot waiting impatiently for Kagome to return, 'Damn it! What's taking her so long?'
"Inuyasha?" He looked over at Kikyo now walking towards him, "Why don't you go wait with Kagome? You know so that way she won't be waiting out there all alone."
Inuyasha's cheeks turned a slight pink while narrowing his eyes, "Are you trying to imply something?"
Kikyo jerked a bit raising a brow, "No I'm not. I just don't think it would be wise to leave Kagome alone. Especially with Naraku and his minions on the loose."
Inuyasha jerked his body slightly as she reminded him of that.
He then nodded his head, "Okay." He ran out while shouting, "I'll be right back!"
Miroku turned his gaze from the door to Kikyo, "Do you think Kagome is all right?"
Kikyo sighed shrugging slightly, "I have no idea. I just thought Inuyasha should do that so that way we not hearing him complain all the while she is gone."
"Then do you think Kagome was telling the truth?" Sango asked looking at Kikyo in concern.
Kikyo sighed, "Truthfully…I don't think she was telling us the truth."
Miroku and Sango groaned as they looked at one another.
Ena just looked at the door as her stomach started to turn, 'There's that bad feeling again.'
Inuyasha had walked all the way out towards the nurse at the desk. He looked around from the doors to the areas around it and saw no Kagome.
He raised a brow, 'Now where the heck did she go?'
"Are you looking for someone young man?"
Inuyasha turned his gaze over towards the woman at the desk.
He sighed while nodding his head as he walked towards the desk, "Yes…I'm looking for a friend of mine. She has mid-length raven black hair and brown eyes and…"
"Oh are you Inuyasha then?" The woman asked pointing a finger at him.
Inuyasha raised a brow, "How did you know?"
"I just had a feeling." The woman replied with a smile, "And to answer your question. She just left."
"Left?" Inuyasha repeated narrowing his eyes a bit with his eyebrow still raising, "Where did she go?"
"Well she told me to tell you that her mom pulled up and asked her to go home so she could watch her younger brother." The woman informed.
"Really?" Inuyasha asked tilting his head a bit.
The woman nodded, "Oh." She grabbed the box of chocolate and handed it to him, "She also asked me to give you this so you could give it to Ayame."
Inuyasha looked at the back before grabbing it and stared at it and narrowed his eyes, 'Something's… not right here.'
"Well what are you waiting for?" Inuyasha flinched a bit as he glanced up at the woman as she continued to smile, "Go give that to Ayame. I'm sure she'll like it."
Inuyasha nodded slightly, "Uh…yeah sure."
With that said he turned and walked back down the hall towards Ayame's room with his eyes narrowed, 'You went home huh? Sorry Kagome…but I ain't buying that.'
He sighed as he walked back into the room catching his friends' attention.
"What did Kagome force you to come back?" Miroku asked smiling at him.
"Feh no idiot! Kagome left." Inuyasha snorted narrowing his eyes at him.
"Left?" Inuyasha turned his gaze as Sango walked up to him raising a brow, "Why did she leave?"
"Well the nurse said that Kagome said that her mom pulled up and asked her to come home so she could watch Souta." Inuyasha informed, 'Though I ain't buying that story.'
Ena raised a brow, "Did her mom even bring Ayame's present?"
Inuyasha just sighed holding out the box, "Yeah she did, though Kagome gave it to the nurse to give it to me to give it to Ayame."
"What did she know that you would come looking for her or something?" Miroku asked crossing his arms.
Inuyasha looked at him, "Guess so." He walked up to Ayame and gave her the box, "There I hope you like it."
Ayame took the box and smiled, "Thanks and when you see Kagome tell her I thank her as well."
Inuyasha nodded before turning and walking towards the door before quickly grabbing his bag.
"Hey!" Inuyasha looked over his shoulder as Kikyo walked up behind him, "Where are you going?"
"Home where else?" Inuyasha replied roughly.
"Why? Don't you want to hangout with us or something?" Ena asked pretending to sound hurt.
Inuyasha rolled his eyes, "No it has nothing to do with that." Ena and the others stared at him as he continued, "I have to get home and get ready for my Martial Arts Practice."
"That's today?" Miroku asked arching a brow, "But didn't you have it yesterday?"
"Yeah and I have it again today so deal with it." Inuyasha snorted out rudely as he walked out of the room.
"Hey!" Ena called out as she peeked out the door, "Come back here!"
Inuyasha only ignored her as he walked down the hall, 'Kagome's up to something. I know she is.'
Inuyasha walked out of the hospital doors and sniffed around to catch Kagome's scent.
He growled as he looked down the sidewalk, "Went home with your mom my ass!" Inuyasha then started to run down the sidewalk following her scent, 'Why the hell did you lie to us Kagome!?'
Kagome gulped as she stood at the entrance of the park, "Well it's now or never." She sighed as she walked into the park, 'I hope I can do this.' She suddenly shook her head narrowing her eyes, 'Wait why am I doubting myself!? Of course I can do it! I have too! I'm not going to let Naraku kill me! Not now not ever!'
"Kagome?"
Kagome jumped and turned towards the bushes, "Who's there!?" She asked loudly getting ready to fight.
"It's me Kagome." Kagome gasped as she saw Koga walking out of the bushes.
"Oh my god Koga!" She lowered her arms and quickly walked up to Koga, "You're all right…right?"
Koga grunted with sad eyes before rubbing his head turning his eyes away from her, "Yeah…I'm alright."
"Good. Ayame will be so happy to know that you are okay." He looked back at her only to see her frowning, "Ayame as been really worried about you."
"Yeah…" He replied softly lowering his eyes, "I'm worried about her too."
Inuyasha stood in front of the park and raised a brow, "Why the hell did Kagome come here?" He grunted as his heart started to pound as he began walking into the park.
"Mm?" Koga hummed as he caught Inuyasha's scent, he grunted and looked at Kagome, "Kagome…forgive me."
Kagome raised a brow, "For what?" Before she could say anything else Koga pressed his lips onto hers' and forced his tongue through her mouth making it open.
Kagome's eyes went wide, 'What the hell!?' She screamed in her head and she soon started to muffle out a scream while trying to pull herself away from Koga.
Koga squeezed his eyes shut as he grabbed onto her shoulders and moved her so her back was facing the park entrance.
Kagome raised a brow as she felt some sort of liquid going into her mouth, 'Is this his spit!?' She squeezed her eyes shut, 'GROSS!" She started pounding on his chest and kept struggling but Koga's grip just kept getting tighter and tighter.
His eyes twitched, 'I am so sorry Kagome!'
"Kagome!?"
Kagome gasped as Koga opened his eyes and pulled away from Kagome to look behind her as she turned to see Inuyasha standing behind her with his eyes wide open.
"Inuyasha…" Kagome said softly as she stared at him feeling her heart stop when she started at him seeing the hurt in his eyes.
Inuyasha just stood there staring at them feeling his own heart shatter, 'Kagome…you…' He lowered his eyes, 'You do love him don't you?'
He started to growl placing pressure on his teeth as he clenched his fists so hard that his nails were digging into his skin, "You…" He glared up at Kagome, "TRAITOR!!"
Kagome gasped as she jerked back with her eyes wide open as he growled that out to her, "Inuyasha!" She gasped out as she felt her heart shatter.
Inuyasha growled glaring at her, "How dare you make me promise that I would stay by your side…WHEN YOU WENT AHEAD AND KISSED KOGA!?"
"But I didn't kiss Koga!" Kagome shouted as her eyes started to water up, "Koga was the one that kissed me!"
"Oh like I would believe that!" Inuyasha shouted out glaring at her one more time before turning around.
Kagome's eyes went wide as she started to feel her body shake, "In-Inuyasha…" She slowly walked up to him and held out her hand and grabbed onto his shoulder, "Please Inuyasha…believe me I-"
"I've heard enough!" Inuyasha snarled out as he ripped his away from Kagome's hand, he glared at her, "Leave me alone!" He then shouted as he jumped into the air, "JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!"
"Inuyasha!" Kagome yelled out and ran after him as the piece of paper fell out of her skirt pocket.
Koga sighed lowering his eyes and noticed the paper and bent down to pick it up, 'Kagome…'
Kagome ran towards the entrance with tears starting to fall down her cheeks, "Inuyasha." 'No…NO I can't lose him! I don't want to lose him! He's everything to me!'
She gasped as her knees suddenly slammed onto the ground, her eyes went wide and tried to stand up but her body wouldn't respond, 'My body…' She grunted as tears and sweat started to drip down her face, 'It…it won't move!'
Kagome picked up her head and opened her mouth to scream out Inuyasha name but in came out in a raspy tone.
Her eyes went wide as she touched her throat, 'My…my voice…'
'Inuyasha!!!!' She attempted again lowering her head to the ground with her eyes shut looking like she was screaming his name out but nothing came out.
"Aww poor little mute girl is all alone."
Kagome gasped opening her eyes as she slowly turned her head and her eyes went wide, 'Onigumo!'
Onigumo stood there behind her smiling at her with pride with some of his minions standing behind him smiling, expect Koga who frowned at her.
"But that was a very wise decision you made mute girl." Onigumo mocked crossing his arms, "You choice have him hurt emotionally than being dead. Nice choice, but I suggest that next time…you should be the one that kisses Koga not Koga kissing you."
Kagome narrowed her eyes as she growled softly, 'Damn you Onigumo!'
Onigumo smiled back at Koga and slapped him on the back making him jerk forward a bit, "Nice work Koga and here it thought you might turn on us like you did yesterday."
Koga glared at him but softened his glare as he looked at Kagome only to have his heart sink when he saw her glaring at him.
He groaned, 'God death would be a lot less worse than this.'
Onigumo turned his attention back towards Kagome and walked towards her, "And now that we got rid of that stupid mutt…" Kagome glared up at him as he smirked as he took out a scroll from his back pocket, "We can now bring you with us without any problems."
Kagome growled as she dug her nails into the ground and gripped the ground making the grass and dirty come up on the ground, 'Damn you…damn you and Naraku to hell!'
Onigumo slapped the scroll on her, which immediately started to electrocute her.
Kagome opened her mouth to scream but nothing came out not even a soft grunt, 'AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!'
Koga winced and closed his eyes as he turned away from Kagome, 'Kagome please…forgive me.'
Kagome panted as the shocks started to wear down but her eyelids started to twitch now feeling drained, 'In-Inuyasha…' She whispered out in her head before collapsing on the ground.
Onigumo grunted still smiling, "Good." He looked at Bunka, "Bring her to the car."
Bunka nodded and walked over towards Kagome picked her up and walked out of the park with Onigumo and his other minion following close behind him.
Koga just stared at them before lowering his eyes to look at his hand that held the piece of paper, 'I swear to you Kagome.' He narrowed his eyes as he crunched up the paper as he looked up towards the park entrance, 'I will make things up to you, even if it means my own life.'
END OF CHAPTER
: gets pointed at by pitch forks: Whoa whoa put those things away. Since if you kill me you won't be able to find out if Kagome gets out of this okay or if Kagome and Inuyasha make up. :pitch forks get lowered: Ah thank you. Again sorry I had to do this. Well I must say this chapter turned out pretty well. Though I was sort of worried that it wouldn't be long but…I guess it is long. Now I'm not sure when I'll update. It will all depend on my other stories that I'm working on and my family of course. Yeah tomorrow I'm helping my stupid older brother move back in to our house. So I doubt I'll be able to work on it then. :gets pointed at by pitch forks again: -puts arms up- But I'll try and get it up as soon as I can. –smirks- But the only way I might update faster is if I get enough reviews.
So please review me and I'll promise a fast update…well as fast as I can get it…depending on how long the chapter is.
