Chapter 38
After spending some time with her friends and boyfriend, Kagome had Inuyasha drop her off at home. The house was empty and dark but that didn't bother her one bit. She wasn't scared of the dark and she was not going to start being scared now. Not when everyone would turn to her once Naraku began his attack again. It had been her fault to being with and she was going to correct it, even if it cost her, her life in this life as well. After closing the door behind her and making sure that she locked it, Kagome walked over to the kitchen table where she found a note from her parents.
"Great, now what happened?" Kagome mumbled to herself as she reached for the letter before making her way to get a cup of water.
After opening the letter, Kagome read: Dear Kagome, we left to go and meet our friend's son at the airport since he will be arriving late tonight. Don't wait up; we'll see you in the morning. Make sure to lock up before you to go sleep…love mom and dad.
"Great, now I have to play nice when I wake up…bad enough I'll have to watch him once I get home from school…and there is no way that I'm going to miss out on school just to watch the fucker." Kagome told herself as she made her way up to her room.
Just as she had finished getting ready for bed, Kagome locked her bed room door and took in a deep breath. Inuyasha, Sesshomaru, and Miroku had already given her a heads up, they were going to report her tomorrow after school to the king and they would try to take her from her home tomorrow night if not the next day. Just as she had sat down on her bed, Kagome reached over to her alarm clock and set it for five in the morning.
It wasn't that she didn't want to meet the guy, as much as she was sure that he would be a nice guy, but she wanted to spend as much time with her friends as possible; which was why she was going to go and meet with them at school, finish homework, and have some fun before they had to get to their class. Inuyasha and the boys would be with them of course, but it wouldn't be the same if it just wasn't just the four of them…like it used to be before her life had been turned upside down. After taking in a deep and calming breath, Kagome closed her eyes and went to sleep.
She had just finished turning off her alarm clock she heard the front door open and close. 'They're just getting home…god…why the hell did they leave me all alone then?' Kagome thought as she began to get into a black skirt with some chains on the side and a black muscle shirt with an evil fairy in the front of it. Since she was the president of the student council no one really had the right to tell her o wear her uniform since she had a lot of power at the school.
Just as she had finished putting her school uniform into her backpack, Kagome unlocked her bed room door and jumped into bed with the covers all around her as she heard her mother and father walking up the stairs. They usually didn't wake her up until six thirty so she didn't have to worry about getting caught but because she didn't want to get caught leaving early and without telling them a thing, she had jumped into bed and made it look like she was still sleeping. Just as she had evened her breathing so that it looked like she was really sleeping, Kagome listened in as she heard her mother, father, and the guy they wanted her to meet and spend some time with walk into her room. 'That bastard better get out of my fucking room and fast.' Kagome thought as she kept her eyes closed.
"I told you that she came home. You shouldn't worry about her, she is a good girl." Kagome's mother was heard.
'Wait a minute…the aura…he feels like Nick's aura…what the hell is he doing here.' Kagome thought as she felt the hanyou aura that stood alongside her parents only to find that it was the exact same aura she had felt when she had gone to meet with Kikiyo at the mall.
"Yeah, but I just don't trust her boyfriend that much." her father stated.
"Well you shouldn't have to worry about that now do you…" a deep and cold voice was heard as he walked toward her bed. "I'll be taking her out of your hands really soon."
'It is Nick…if that's his real name…shit I have to warn Kikiyo…that bastard is not going to play her like that.' Kagome thought as she kept her act up and kept her heart beat the same and her breathing the same so that she would not get caught.
"And you better cough over the rest of the money then too." Her mother hissed out in a bitter filled voice.
"Come on, we don't want to wake our little girl." Her father stated as he led everyone out of the room.
Once they had left her room, and once she was sure that they were not going to be coming back, Kagome quickly and quietly jumped out of bed, grabbed her things and claimed out of her window. Just as she had jumped out of the window, Kagome looked up only to find Nick's grinning figured just looking down at her. After glaring at him and sealing him in her house, Kagome took off like a bat out of hell so that she could go and meet with her friends. 'I hope to god his scent did not get on me.' Kagome thought as she tried to ignore what her mother and father were talking about.
By the time she had reached the school, Kagome couldn't help but smile as when she found Sango and Ayame already waiting for her. After dropping her things and taking in a deep and much needed breath, she let herself drop as she heard Ayame growl out, "Who the hell was following you and why do you smell like a fucking spider?"
"Shit, Inuyasha is going to get pissed off." Kagome mumbled as she tried to stop her racing heart. 'They're selling me…they're selling me off like some piece of trash…they're not my parents…I don't have any fucking parents…they must have known who I was…why else would they be handing me off like that?'
"Kagome…what's wrong?" Sango asked as her aura began to surround the three of them.
"Everything is going down the fucking drain and I have no idea what the fuck I'm going to do or who I can trust anymore…well besides you girls." Kagome answered as she sat up to face them.
"What the hell is that supposed to mean…what the hell is going on?" Ayame asked in a very worried voice.
It was a very rare thing for Kagome to seem weak and it was that much rarer when she would have a mental break down. While Ayame pulled her into a tight hug, Sango tried to figure out what her friend's words meant. After a while of thinking, Sango dropped down and pulled Kagome free from Ayame so that she could lock eyes with her and asked "What did they do? What the hell did they tell you?"
Finally, as she allowed her tears to roll down the side of her face, Kagome looked away and took in a deep breath before she said, "It doesn't matter anymore. I don't have a family; I never had a fucking family."
"What the hell is going on here? And what the hell is she talking about?" a pissed off Rin was heard as she arrived only to find Kagome crying and two very lost looking girls.
"By the sounds of it her parents did something but she won't say a word." Ayame answered.
"I don't think we should let her stay at school today." Sango added.
"No, I'm staying." Kagome hissed as she stopped her tears and said, "I'm not going anywhere, besides I need to go to my classes to turn in my work and I need to talk to Kikiyo."
"Now I know they fucked up…what the hell did they tell you?" Rin growled out.
"Nothing, just please, I'll tell you girls when I'm good and ready but please just drop it for now…the guys will be here soon and I don't need Inuyasha worrying." Kagome begged.
"Fine but at lunch we are meeting at the roof and you are going to answer our questions….deal?" Rin was heard.
"Deal." Kagome answered.
After making sure that she was really already, Kagome thanked and hugged Rin when she give her some herbs that would erase the scent that had been left on her. She was going to answer their questions and she was going to tell them a plan once she came up with one that would put her fake parents in jail for trying to sell her off as some whore. Just as she had finished playing around with her friends Kagome jumped into her intends arms as she said, "Hey baby, what took you so long?"
"Nothing, I was giving my parents a heads up about us." Inuyasha growled as he nuzzled her neck. "I told them that nothing was going to keep me from you."
"What did they say?" Kagome asked in a worried voice.
"That they would back him up since they love you." Sesshomaru answered with a grin on his face.
"Um…" Rin was heard as she couldn't help but grin.
"I don't like that look on your face, Rin what just popped into your evil little mind?" Ayame was heard as Koga wrapped his arms around her.
"Don't lie because we know better." Sango added as Miroku held her by the waist.
"I don't like that grin on bit." Kagome stated as she held onto Inuyasha for dear life.
"Don't worry love, she won't touch you." Inuyasha whispered into her ear.
"Sesshomaru…do you still want me to go live with you?" Rin asked with an innocent voice.
'Shit.' Kagome thought as she tried to keep her heart from racing.
"I already told you that I'm not going to make you my mate until after we have finished with high school." Sesshomaru growled.
"Not like we needed to know that." Miroku commented.
"Alright, so how about I make it easier for you?" Rin offered.
"Slowly get my things." Kagome whispered into Inuyasha's ear as she tried to get him out of there before Rin had him on her side.
"How easy?" Sesshomaru growled as he picked Rin up so that she could wrap her legs around him.
"Easy, all you have to do is get Kagome to move in also, if she goes I'll go." Rin answered with a grin on her face.
"What do you say?" Inuyasha growled when he heard Rin's answer. "You are my intended and what better way to prove a point to the king and queen then to show them how we are and how committed we are to one another."
"It would be for the better." Sesshomaru pointed out.
"Yeah, come on, Koga and I are already living together and we're not even mates yet. Trust me you won't regret it." Ayame jumped in.
"I'll do it as long as Miroku moves in with Sango." Kagome quickly stated with a grin of her own.
"Then I guess we'll be picking up your and Rin's things today after school." Inuyasha growled as he nuzzled her neck.
"What do you mean?" Kagome asked as she turned to glare at Sango.
"Well I never really had the chance to tell you girls but…Miroku's been living with me for a while now." Sango answered with a grin on her face.
"Since when and why?" Kagome asked as she turned to lock eyes with Miroku.
"Since I asked to be her husband and since I was placed under the protection of her father by the order of the king and queen." Miroku answered.
"Uh…whatever, I have to get to class." Kagome hissed out only to stop when she was hit win an idea.
"We have class with you." Inuyasha pointed out.
"Let me rephrase that then," Kagome stated in a calm voice. "I need to go to class so that I can talk to Kikiyo in privet, and I need to speak with you later Miroku."
"Since when have you been on good terms with Kikiyo?" Koga asked.
"What could you possibly have to talk to him about?" Sango asked in a calm voice as she realized that she was going to go to Miroku for something that she should be telling them.
"I don't have to answer that," Kagome hissed as she jumped off of Inuyasha. "So if you will excuse me I have to go and find my cousin."
"Wow, she is mad…and I get the feeling we missed something." Miroku pointed out as he locked eyes with his girlfriend.
"Are you walking me to class or not?" Sango hissed before she got her things to make her way to her class.
"Rin?" Sesshomaru growled. "Did we miss something?"
"No, now come on before I'm late." Rin answered as she reached for her things while keeping her legs wrapped around Sesshomaru.
"Damn…Ayame can you do that?" Koga asked as he turned his head to the side so that he could see the way her back craved better.
"I suggest you keep your eyes on your own girl." Sesshomaru growled as his eyes flashed red.
"Koga you jerk!" Ayame roared as she punched him before she ran off to go and meet up with Kagome and Kikiyo in class.
"Shit." Koga growled before he ran after Ayame.
After getting Kikiyo out of class before she was stopped or followed by the rest of the student council, Kagome turned to Kikiyo as they made their way to the student council room and asked, "So…how much do you know about Nick?"
"Why? I thought you needed to talk to me about something important." Kikiyo stated as she glared at Kagome before adding, "Like if you did something about that guy or not."
"I have Inuyasha and I want knowing more then to be his mate already, so don't worry. Just answer my question so that I know how to start this." Kagome stated as she opened the door to the student council room before adding, "And I already did something about it so you have nothing to worry about."
"Well a lot, what is it that you need to know." Kikiyo answered as she walked into the room before Kagome closed the door behind them.
After locking and sealing the door, Kagome took in a deep breath as she placed a barrier around them so that they wouldn't be heard and asked, "What do you know about his family?"
"I only know that his parents sent him here for half a year so that he could tell them what to invest in. He doesn't really talk about them that much…why?" Kikiyo asked.
"Once I start explaining don't stop me or ask any question until I'm done." Kagome answered with a very serious voice as she locked eyes with Kikiyo.
"Alright, but you are really starting to worry me." Kikiyo replied.
"Sorry…but just one more thing before I start to explain." Kagome stated as she took in a deep breath.
"And what would that be?" Kikiyo asked.
"Do you trust me?" Kagome answered.
"Of course I trust you; I've always trusted you I just don't show it since I have my image to think about." Kikiyo answered. "What kind of question is that?"
After taking in a deep breath, Kagome locked eyes with Kikiyo and answered, "I just needed to make sure since this isn't going to be easy."
"Now I'm worried, you better start explaining now." Kikiyo hissed.
"I woke this morning and I heard Nick's voice in my room. He was talking with my parents and by the sounds of it they are going to sale me to him as some cheap whore." Kagome stated as she began to explain. "The reason I believe this shit and know that it was Nick is because 1. I recognized his aura, 2. I never forget a person's voice, and 3. I just found out that I was adopted by them."
"Do you know who your biological parents are?" Kikiyo asked in a calm voice after thinking over everything Kagome had just told her.
"I just told you that your boyfriend, the guy I helped you stay with, isn't really who he says he is and you're worried if I know my biological parents are not? God Kikiyo what is wrong with you? Did you even listen to a word I said?" Kagome hissed out in anger and panic.
"What? What if you're just related to him and they just want you back and are just doing it the easy way? You can't blame me Kagome; I'm in love with him." Kikiyo snapped back. "So it might just be your parents trying to get a hold of you. Granted it's not the smarts method but they are at least trying to do something about it."
"Kikiyo, it's not them….it's not my biological parents." Kagome answered in a calm and gentle voice. "There is no way that this is the work of my biological parents."
"How do you know? Have you met them, do you know what kind of people they are? God Kagome for the smartest kid in the school it was pretty stupid of you not to realize that it is a possibility that it is your biological parents." Kikiyo hissed out in anger.
After taking in a deep and calming breath, Kagome locked eyes with her cousin and said, "Trust me when I say that it's not them. I am one hundred percent sure that it is not my biological parents that are doing all of this."
"How are you so sure? Have you met them? Do you know who they are? God Kagome I trust you but how am I suppose to believe you if you want answer me or if you won't even trust me enough to tell me the truth?" Kikiyo stated as she moved to get up.
Having had enough and realizing that the only way that she would have Kikiyo on her side without any reason to think that she was begin lied to, Kagome took in a deep breath and closed her eyes as she said, "I'm a hundred percent sure it's not my biological parents because Miroku was the one to tell me that I was adopted. He told me that the only reason he had told me was because he was put in charge of finding the missing princess and hat he needed to test my blood to see if I was the missing princes. The test came back positive. I'm the missing heir to the throne, before Prince Sota…since he is really sick and since the whole prophecy has been translated, they want me back…I know it's not them…the king and queen would have just called me to the castle."
"Then…then…Nick…he lied to me…oh my god, who the hell have I been sleeping with?" Kikiyo whispered as she tried not to break down.
"I'm so sorry Kiki…but I need your help right now, I'm sure you'll be able to deal the punishment since I can make it happen but I'm just as lost as you are…Inuyasha doesn't know…none of my friends know…you're the only one that I have told." Kagome stated in a small whisper.
Kikiyo quickly looked up to face Kagome and asked, "What the hell do you mean that I'm the only one you've told…Kagome you are in great danger here. We need to report them so that they are caught and punished for this. Sota is a weak child; you have to be the one to take over."
"I don't want to take over and I haven't told anyone because then I wouldn't get the answers I'm looking for…I want to use myself as bait to make sure that no one else is going to be after me. I want to know if there is someone pulling all the strings here." Kagome stated.
"What are you going to tell your friends?" Kikiyo asked once she realized that there was nothing she could do but to go along with Kagome's plans.
With a smile on her face, Kagome locked eyes with Kikiyo and asked, "So you're in?"
"I'm in as long as I don't have to do that much." Kikiyo answered.
"Perfect…so here's the plan." Kagome stated as she began to explain the plan. She knew that she could trust Kikiyo and knew that everything would work out for the best. After explaining to Kikiyo what it was that she had to do and after handing her the notes she was going to be leaving her friend, Kagome smiled at Kikiyo before the two began to set the plan into motion. They had spent the whole morning talking and planning and now they were going to set everything into motion. 'Great, I'm pretty sure that 'Nick' is Naraku in hiding and now I have leave the life I like just to fight his sorry ass and take over like I had always meant to do…I just hope Inuyasha and the other will stay by my side.' Kagome thought as she waited for Miroku to arrive so that she could get her plan into motion.
