Chapter Thirty-Seven: What Changed You?
--
The next time Kagome awoke it was to a loud slam, cursing. When the silence was broken she fell off the bed, crying out in pain when her head hit the wooden floor hard. Kagome kicked her legs like a six year old. The door had opened to her room, she heard quick footsteps and someone pull her into their arms. Inuyasha's voice came,
"Kagome, are you okay?"
"What the hell was that!" whimpered Kagome, wincing when he rubbed her head.
He sighed, "Rin…she's acting weird. She sort of…destroyed your laptop when Sesshomaru tried to take it. Then stormed out the house, taking the car and speeding off."
"What! Where did she go!?" gaped Kagome, standing up, and running out the room.
When she got downstairs, Sesshomaru was standing in the doorway. Impassive as always. He walked in, closed the door, and looked at Kagome. Kagome asked,
"What did you do?"
He didn't respond and went into the kitchen. Kagome looked at her laptop; now broken into chunks. She knelt down to it; a piece of paper beside it. It was typed, and printed:
CENTER ROAD; DOUI ROAD; LEFT DOOR AT THE END
Kagome looked at it confused; what had Rin been doing on her computer. She bit the side of her cheek, worry written all over her features.
Later That Night
Kagome called her parents; they didn't give her much of a conversation. Like she had thought; everyone was distant after the prank Rin, Sango, and herself did. She huffed, sitting the room. Staring at the window as rain fell.
A rock hit the window, and she raised a eyebrow. Kagome got up and tiptoed over to the window, not wanting Inuyasha to wonder why she was even moving toward the window. She pushed up the window to see Rin. Rain soaking her. Kagome gaped, jabbed on her tennis shoes, grabbed her jacket-put it on, and climbed out the window.
Once down the bottom, Kagome was gasping for air. Rin was covered in blood, but not of her own. Though still she did have a few bruises. Rin spoke, her voice shaking,
"I don't know what got into me…I…I-
Kagome hugged Rin tightly, knowing she was about to crack. Whatever happened, Kagome knew it tore her up. She asked,
"What happened? Why are you hurt? Why is there blood on you Rin?"
"Kagome," sighed Rin, "I killed someone. I transformed. I…I couldn't control myself."
Kagome asked, "WHO did you kill Rin?"
"One of Naraku's followers. I knocked them all out; Naraku wasn't there. Kikyo should be dead, but by then I heard sirens outside. I left. I stayed at the park until it started to rain." replied Rin.
Kagome asked, "What happened downstairs?"
"Sesshomaru doesn't love me anymore, Kagome." sniffed Rin, clenching her hand into a fist. "He came in when I was emailing Kikyo-
Kagome cut her off, "What were you doing emailing Kikyo!"
"Just listen," yelled Rin, pulling away; rubbing her temples, "I was pissed off, okay? He came in and started bringing up what we had done! The nerve! I'm under serious pressure right now and it's all because of him! He doesn't love me! Sesshomaru looks at me like any other bystander! I never seen him look at me so coldly. I haven't gone to sleep in a week Kagome! A week!"
Now that she mentioned it. Rin DID look horrible. She had dark bags under her eyes, her hair was a mess, and she was pale. Kagome just now noticed scars on Rin's arm. Kagome asked,
"What have you been doing to yourself Rin?"
"I've been scratching the hell out of my arm!" replied Rin. "You and I both know when I'm under pressure I scratch my arm. Now look at it. It's covered in scars!"
Rin began to scratch the back of her hand. Kagome grabbed both her hands, her eyes blazing, and stormed into the house.
You know? It's weird because EVERYONE happened to be waiting for them to come in. Inuyasha looked at Rin and his eyes widened,
"What happened to her!"
"Rin, what happened?" asked Sango, walking toward her.
Kagome bared her teeth at Sango, her eyes totally clouded over with something far more dangerous then any of them thought possible for Kagome. She looked at them all before taking Rin upstairs. Rin's hair covered her face, not wanting to see their worried faces, nor Sesshomaru's disgusted impassive one.
If she'd looked she would have seen his eyes flicker, but she also probably would have taken it for gas. (Lol! I couldn't help myself.)
Upstairs: Hour Later
Rin and Kagome were in Rin and Sesshomaru's room. Even though Sesshomaru slept elsewhere. Rin was running her hand over her mates mark, tears present in her eyes. Kagome had made her wash herself up, and then did her hair for her.
Rin looked even more horrible washed up. Her arms had began to bleed and Kagome had to bandage them up. Kagome whispered,
"I refuse to let you crumble like I did."
"Whatever Kagome." sniffed Rin, crawling under the covers. "Just leave me alone. If I'm going down, I'm not taking my recovering sister with me."
Kagome yelled, "There is nothing wrong me Rin! Unlike you, I look perfectly fine!"
"Oh do you!" spat Rin, yanking the covers off her head. "You may have fooled the others Kagome, but I see through your stupid mask got damn it! If were to mention Kizu you'd brake down right here!"
When what she said sunk in, Kagome paled. Her eyes filled with tears, and she hung onto the dresser and pain shot threw her. Weakness and darkness began to seep into her already broken heart. Rin hissed,
"See…do you actually think I'd betray my lover to heal my own wounds. You're pathetic Kagome. Fucking pathetic!"
"R. rin…" breathed Kagome, clenching at her side. "I don't know what's gotten into you…."
Rin shook her head, "No, Kagome…the question is…what changed you?"
Guilt hit Kagome hard as Rin crawled back under her covers. Kagome shot the lights out, and backed out the room. Sweat fell down her face as she held her burning side. She heard a concerned voice behind her,
"Kagome, are you okay?"
Another jolt of pain shot through her and she fell forward. Inuyasha caught her and supported her against his chest. Kagome pulled away, now panting for air,
"I'm fine."
"You don't look fine." he replied.
Kagome wiped the glare off her face, "Thank you for worrying Inuyasha…but right now…your worrying is making this pain worse."
He looked down at her confused. Kagome kissed his cheek and left. She locked herself in the bathroom, the sink water running as she cried silently. She sat on the floor, her back to the door, cell phone clenched in her hand.
Her pills laid beside her. Every time she took the pill, she felt mentally weaker. Kagome felt dizzy and collapsed on the floor. Right there did she realize she took three instead of too.
Later That Night
"Kagome." whispered a familiar voice.
Kagome slowly opened her eyes to see two worried amber eyes. She sighed,
"What happened?"
"Kagome," asked Inuyasha, "did you try to…commit suicide?"
Kagome remembered exactly what happened, "Oh god no Inuyasha, of course not. I was just not paying attention to how many pills I took."
"So you're awake." came Estrella's voice.
Kagome sighed, "Where am I?"
"In the hospital of course." she smiled, checking the machines.
Kagome rolled her eyes, "I could've recovered back at home Inuyasha, I'm not a human you know."
He ignored what she said and Kagome huffed loudly. Estrella laughed,
"Everything's fine now, you can leave. "
"How long was I here?" asked Kagome, sitting up.
She looked at her watch, "Three hours now."
"A total waste of time." murmured Kagome, sitting up.
Estrella grabbed a bag off the table, and held it toward Kagome. She shook it and smiled,
"Don't over do it this time, okay?"
Kagome looked from her smiling face to the bag. She jiggled it and Kagome took it. Estrella's smile widened,
"Please watch her Inuyasha; I won't be surprised to see her in here again, but for another different reason."
She looked at the bag, to Kagome, then left. Kagome clenched onto the bag, her hand starting to shake. Inuyasha asked,
"Are you alright Kagome?"
Kagome took out the bottle, took out two of her pills, and took it. Drinking the water by her bed. A shock of pain with threw her once it entered her system. Inuyasha was searching her eyes,
"Kagome?"
She looked back at him, shook her head, and stood. Walking out the room.
Please Review! And NO she isn't becoming a drug addict…-sigh-
