" you're acting like a bloody fool" he snared at her. She took in a shocking breath and looked away crossing her arms.
He sighed and huffed " Listen, i don't mean to be insensitive but i don't get why your acting all out of sorts over something so trivial"
Trivial, TRIVIAL!
" If my actions and emotions are so damn trivial than go back to that emotionless woman who walks the earth by taking other's souls." she yelled.
That did it, fuck what her mood was he had enough. He reached out and grabbed her arm, angry and confused he tightened his grip and made her wince a little. His claws were digging into her arm. " I dunno what your going on about, Kagome...but it better fuckin' stop right now, its pissing me off" he growled out.
" What else is new" she responded, yanking her arm out of his grip, ripping her sleeve in the process.
She stood there firm and glared at the man standing before her. " Of course you don't know whats wrong, you never do, you just assume without really asking. Every-time i gotta see those damn soul collectors i already know whats gonna happen, your gonna jump up and run after them to meet up with Kikyo. Yeah i get angry, i get furious, but do you know why i get so upset? do you?. "
He stood there, his eyes lost.
" I didn't think so" she turned her back to him. And her shoulders started to shake.
" Just go, leave me alone" she welled.
His body stiffened, she want's me to go and leave her, here , all alone in this state. He felt his feet move forward and his hand reach out only to be slapped away. " I- i cant just leave you..." he spoke softly
" Why not, never had a problem doing it before"
yeah but...he didn't wanna walk away leaving her in a vulnerable state where demons could pick up the scent of anguish and rage. They'd feed off it
He stood his ground not moving an inch until...
"SIT" she yelled
the beads around his neck lit up and he fell face first into the earth below him.
2 weeks later,
It started getting chilly,fall was just around the corner. She walked up the steps to her family's shrine and just sighed. He hasn't came back for me, normally his always dragging me back. Inuyasha don't you need me anymore?
A stray tear rolled down her cheek.
A yell and a shuffle got her attention and she looked behind her, two men where behind her drunkingly flirting.,
" Hey there girly, wanna come to the bar and have a good time?" one man asked as he hiccuped.
She picked up her pace trying to get up the stairs faster.
" Yo where ya going? we'll take good care of ya" the other said gruffly.
She closed her eyes and prayed,once she reached the top of the steps she ran behind the building where her gramp's hid all his ancient artifacts. She heard there staggering foot steps go past. Then after a few minutes it was quiet so she decided to peek out from behind the shed and look around her. Once she thought the cost was clear she stepped out. Outta know where a hand came out and covered her mouth. She muffled a scream
" Shhhh, its okay shhhh. quiet now " the voice was thick with menace, She tried to turn to see who her captive was but arms held her tight and still. squirming and twisting her best to get out of his hold. She was scared, tears filled her terror filled eyes. help me, please help me. INUYASHA!
She was slammed up against the building buy the figure that held her, a sleigh evil malice grin took place on his face, he leaned forward, holding her arms above her head with the other hand. She tried to rise her knee up to block her attacker but was stopped by his thigh. His tongue licked the side of her neck. please don't please stop.
Her mind went blank, was this how her life was gonna end, was this sicko gonna force her innocents? She couldn't move, she was stuck in his strong grip, she was scared she was terrified, her hands trembled her eyes burned her breath shook. The mans mouth breathed just inches in front of her, within seconds his mouth captured her's. His tongue forcefully shoving itself down her throat. She gasped. While she could she took action and bite down on his lip, drawing blood. He stood back and licked his lip, grinning.
Than he took the palm of his hand and slammed it against her jaw. Knocking the breath out of her. " you bitch. you think you can fight against me". two others showed up before the man, he snickered and looked at the person to his left. " put a bag over her head, and take her to our hide out."
Darkness was all she remembered before she fainted into the blackness. Inuyasha
Back to Inuyasha
Something's wrong, something ain't right, his ear's were burning. He paced back and forth, his temper rising.
" Damn it" he spat " where the fuck is she, why hasn't she came back. "
Miroku watched from the distance. " think we should approach him?" he asked Shippo who also watched inuyasha from behind the seen's. " i like my life still intact, thank you" Shippo said.
Growling and Contemplating in frustration, arms crossed
He closed his eyes, trying to control his temper.
he wanted to rip something apart, he wanted to break shit, throw shit, scream and tare the forest down.
Miroku swallowed as he saw Inuyasha's eyes flash from gold to blood red, it was quick, it was fast but he saw it. Things are gonna get bad, and fast, if Kagome doesn't come back. " Shippo, did you see that ?" he asked looking at shippo. Shippo lay on the floor, twitching in fear.
Miroku picked the little fox demon up and decided to head back before his ill tempered friend found out where he was.
Back at camp.
" I swear Songo i ain't making it up, his acting like a caged lion. One second his eyes were gold then next as red as blood. Somethings going on with him,"
Songo poked the fire as Miroku explained his encounter with Inuyasha earlier.
" If what your saying is true, than why doesn't he just swallow his pride and just go get her, he never had an issue with doing so before"
Miroku shrugged.
" I think Inuyasha has been hiding, for this very reason, and as to why he went to seek Kikyo out. I think...i think he went asking for answer's nothin' more. I think Inuyasha's inner demon is maturing and is trying to force its self out. But his human heart is fighting. "
Songo blinked up at him " you really think so?"
the monk nodded. " Kagome saw them, and got upset so she left. I completely understand her actions considering when inuyasha would go seek her out it was for something other then information. Kagome still thinks that Inuyasha wants to be with Kikyo, so part of her heart is tainted with doubts."
Songo raised a brow. " But doesn't he want to?, Kagome goes out of her way all the time to make that blind man see her and only her, not as a reincarnation of his past but to just see her as her."
Miroku sighed and looked up to the starry skies. " I think he sees her as her, but just doesn't know how to express his feelings, don't forget Songo, people didn't always greet him with respect. "
Back to Kagome
Her hands where tied, her legs were shackled her clothes were torn. Hands touched and grabbed and bit her flesh. She was covered in purple and blue splotches. bruised and broken down, she was weak, and drugged.
her mind was the only thing awake.
The bag with still over her face so she couldn't see who it was that kidnapped her.
She wanted to puke. The way this person touched her... shes surprised Inuyasha couldn't smell the blood.
She was forced to loose her innocents. and prayed to the gods just to end her suffering.
" Hush now girly, " he called out.
She was weak, she was cold, she was filthy and coated in nothing but the fluids around her.
A hand reached out and removed the bag from her head, but sadly she was to frail to open her eye's. It hurt, Everything hurt.
" Ain't no one gonna save you now." he hissed, and leaned down to run his nasty mouth along her throat.
She whimpered and tears welled up in her eye's
With all her might, with what little strength she could muster, as loud as her broken voice could carry she screamed out his name "INUYASHA...INUYASHA PLEASE...PLEASE HELP ME!"
The man who kept torturing her threw back his hand and smacked her, another purple patch forming across her left cheek.
A scream echoed in side his head, A voice calling out for help. His eyes opened up and sweat rolled down his brow, " WHAT THE HELL?" he felt uneasy, his hands were shaky, his stomach felt sour, his ears were on fire and the only thing that came to his mind was find, conker and destroy. Something was wrong, very very unsettling wrong. The wind blew and a slight sent caught his attention. His blood ran cold, his heart in his throat. " KAGOME!"
Within a flash he was out of the tree and racing towards the well, the closer he got the scent became stronger, it wasn't just a little bit of blood, this was allot and something else entirely.
His blood begin to boil, her blood was mixed with a different smell.
He ran until the world around him faded in colors of gray,
The well was just in sight, with one big jump he was engulfed in its light and ported to the other era.
"I swear to all that is holy, you better be okay".
His body began to pulse, he could feel his demon blood rushing through his veins, causing him to undergo a frightful transformation. But this transformation was different.
Once he arrived, he jumped out of the well and looked around the shrine. She was here not long ago her scent is somewhat fresh.
His eyes where as red crimson. He wasted no time, he took his clawed hand and slashed through the door of the Higurashi shrine and fallowed the sent of kagome's blood.
She was thirsty, her throat was dry and parched from all the screaming and yelling. The male that lay opposite of her was asleep. So the male from the shrine house who asked me to join them is the kidnapper. She studied him and realized he was at least in his late 30's, the thought of it discussed her.
She seen a water dish not to far and tried reaching out for it, but her arms only went so far. The chains rattled, she froze waiting to see if the man woke, but was surprised when he didn't so instead she took her left leg and stretched it out and beamed with pride as it reached. With the tip of her foot she scooted the water towards her. Once close enough to reach she picked it up and drank the water. Severing the cool liquid as it cold her aching throat.
The man shifted turning on his other side once he settled and he drifted off again she sighed out in somewhat of a re-leaf.
Inuyasha was just above where they took kagome, she wasn't aware that eyes as red as pools of blood were watching her. He was pissed, not just pissed he was furious. The male beside her was deep in slumber and the only thought that raced threw his mind was to burst through the window,unshackle kagome, than kill the bantered that lay near, he wanted nothing more than to slit his throat, drain him of his fluids and piss on his corpse.
Kagome winced and that caused him to growl. She was black and blue all over, but what really got him was the bruises on her thighs.
His body ragged. With a fierce howl he took his fist and punched through the glass of the window.
Kagome jumped and tried to avoid the glass , than looked up as Inuyasha landed before her. Her eyes began to water. " you came" she whispered. To her shock Inuyasha just stared at her. He sniffed her over, and that's when he found out. His eyes remained red but his body became tense. An Ora of dread and anguish enveloped him. She watched as he slowly stood, his body frozen and stiff. " Inuyasha i ...i ...i couldn't stop him" she cried. His anger ever growing, his rage burning through him like molten lava, his demon scratching at the surface. He reached out and cupped her bruised cheek. Nodding, he new this was out of her control and he new now just what to do. He bent down, and whispered " Close your eyes". She did just as he told her, he ran the pad of his clawed thumb across her cheek.
She couldn't see anything, but no doubt heard every scream of mercy every yell for forgiveness she could hear body's being tossed and blood being shed, she could even smell it. She could hear claws digging into flesh and tossing limbs and thrashing of innards, she decided she couldn't handle it anymore and slightly peeked , All around him lay bodies, blood soaked the ground below her, blood dripped from his claws . The amount of blood made her stomach clench she wanted to puke but couldn't. He turned his eyes back to the woman who was indeed his undoing. He flicked the blood off his hand and walked up to her, she wasn't scared in fact she was over joyed, he came for her after everything he still came. He broke the shackles and undid the ties. Once free she flung herself at him, and cried she cried and he remained silent the only thing he could do was comfort her, he wrapped his arms around her and held her and he to let a few stray tears fall, why? you ask. Cause he felt guilty.
His mind was so full of hurt and guilt that it made him feel ill. Kagome was token hostage and not only beaten but raped and he wasn't there in time to protect her. Her body was covered in welts and scraps and bruises but what hurt him the most is the smell of others not just on her but in her. He couldn't handle it he couldn't take the smell of those low lives. He picked her up carefully and carried her back to her home. She remained quiet. She just held on to him and hoped he'd never let her go.
Once they arrived to the house he leaped up to her window and opened it, he than walked over and placed her on the bed slowly not to hurt her.
She lay and watched as he went from her dresser to the bathroom, he then started to run water in the bath.
His eyes remained red but his demeanor was still...Inuyasha.
She kept her eyes on him as he moved. Once he came out of the bathroom he picked her up and carried her to the bath tub, gently he put her in the warm water. She kinda whimpered cause the water was a little hot and it hurt the wounds but after a bit it eased up.
Inuyasha took a cloth and started wiping her down, he wasn't saying anything and it bugged her " Inuyasha...thank you"
He continued to whip her down, he scrubbed and scrubbed but " Damn it i cant get his scent off you'' he yelled but wasn't realizing in the possess of his scrubbing she was hissing in pain.
"I'm sorry...i'm so sorry Kagome" he couldn't handle the pressure anymore and broke down.
Kagome watched as her brave half demon, became powerless to the situation and shivered as a reckless sob over took him.
His hands covered his face and tears just pored out of him like a flowing stream. So much guilt he felt so much pain.
Kagome reached out a small slender hand and placed it on top his. " Inuyasha, this is not your fault, you didn't do this to me." She whispered
" No i might not of token your innocents, but it is my fault for not coming sooner to protect it." his voice broke." I'm worthless ain't I? I cant even protect you the way you deserve, instead i'm ruining you by always going after a dead memory and in the possess of that you get kidnapped and beaten and ...and rapped. If id of been there sooner, if i just would've swallowed my damn pride. you'd still be ripe and pure. I'm sorry i'm so so sorry, i failed you and i cant do anything to take it back. Kagome...i can't take it, i cant take this feeling of pure dread.
Kagome's bottom lip tumbled , she wanted so badly to comfort him but...didn't know how. She decided that she might no of a way to ease his internal pain. She got out of the tub and slowly walked over to him, water dripping all over the floor. She took his hand and pulled them away from his face, he looked up at her, now with the eyes of golden honey, but damped with the flow of tears.
There she stood in front of him, naked as the day she was born. No traces of embarrassment she took his hand and laid on her beating heart. Her flesh was warm.
Inuyasha was shell shocked, his palm lay on the very breast of the woman he has grown to love. But this wasn't a sign of seduction, no this was her showing him her heart. Her heart lay in the very palm of his hand and he couldn't help but gasp. " you see?...my heart has always been yours to hold, i tried to tell you countless times, i even thought maybe some how you new but just ignored it, but even though you couldn't stop what happened, you still came. Inuyasha you saved me and because of you...i'm still alive."
His face was warm and he couldn't help but look away, her words and the feel of her flesh beneath his hand was doing things to his body without his control, he cleared his throat and quickly stood. She blinked in confusion
" Um inuyasha?"
he didn't reply
" did he...did he by chance impregnate me?" she asked scared to know the answer
He shook his head and with sigh of relief he walked out , letting her be.
A few hours later, kagome was on her bed, legs closed arms wrapped around them, just watching as her half demon stood guard by the window,
" I have something to tell you," he spoke
She looked up at him.
" That day you seen me with Kikyo, it was a complete misunderstanding. " he said
She didn't say anything and just hid her head
" I went yes, but only to tell her i could no longer keep my promise to her. She was more understanding about it than i thought shed be." without any word from her he continued." I know I've hurt you a lot kagome, i know your heart was slowly turning black and i also know i'm the cause of it"
her head popped up surprised
" I was blind to your affection and love, and for that i'm truly sorry. And i'm also sorry i didn't tell you sooner that i was also...in love with you"
she was baffled.
"So that day i went to tell kikyo i no longer wanted to join her, instead i wanted to live, here ...with you"
He turned to look at her and the passion that beamed through his eyes left her speechless.
" I want to be the man you rightfully deserve, i want you to be the one i wake up to every morning and night ...i wanted to be your first and last...i wanted to take you and mark you and bed you as my mate."
He slowly made his way to the bed and leaned over.
" I know what happened was forced and i know you couldn't do anything to stop it, but damn it to hell it pisses me off"
He bent down until his lips were close to hers, just a heart beat away " your mine Kagome and once your healed and able im gonna erase that creeps scents and over claim you with mine, i'm gonna take you over and over until your shivering with desire and than once your shaking and cant handle it anymore i'm gonna mark you and demand you to call out my name with sparks of passion and ecstasy" His breath tickled her ear. He lay on top her and stared down into her eyes.
She couldn't help the heat that build up inside her, the words he spoke the looks his giving, the weight of him on top her, this was different this was a man claiming his rightful place and a man who's angry that something of his was stolen.
His lips were inching closer and she closed her eyes, and within a heart warming instead his lips devoured her's. He moaned and pushed up against her , his body was so hot she could feel the heat through his clothes. Was he sick?
But the kiss became forceful and his hand became rough as one hand went to her thigh and the other grabbed her hand and raised it above her head. His hand roamed and touched and left trails from her thigh to her hip and higher feeling the warmth that lingered. He couldn't stop, Kagome wiggled beneath him and he growled. " Stop movin' " he hissed and she didn't understand why until her knee rubbed against it. He was aroused and very very hard. She gulped and tried her best not to move, but she was so very uncomfortable and didn't know how to make it go away.
" Inuyasha we should stop" She said against his lips,
rationally he new that, he new it was to fast too soon, and that kagome still needed medical attention to the minor cuts and scrapes but most of all the rawness of her wrist and ankles, he closed his eyes and let out a rough sigh, he laid his head into the crook of her neck and nodded. " your right,"
His body was hot, and the room felt heavy and enclosed. In other words it felt stuffy as hell and he couldn't bare it. He leaned up and took his hand and cupped her cheek, she leaned into his palm and gave a sad but understanding smile.
" Remember Kagome, your mine. Once your better, and your injury's heal, i'm not gonna stop and ill refuse no as an answer. " he warned out in a gruff tone,
" You ain't just saying that...cause of what happened to me, are you?"
He narrowed his eyes, and again they flashed red to gold, once they stopped and they remained gold, he replied a little harsher than he meant to. " Don't you understand whats happening to me?, you can feel the heat cant you?, it seeps through my damn clothes, i cant stop the god damn lecherous unfulfilled dreams that possess me, I feel you without actually touching you, i feel you all over me, its daunting and taunting , i cant stop waking up and tasting you in my mouth, i don't know how someone can be so damn captivating and addictive. Your there, and you don't even need to be around me. I'm damn near out of my mind, i wake up in a sweat and bout ready to explode, i'm rugged and out of breath and want nothing more than to take possession of whats mine. Yet you think i'm only saying this cause of what THEY did to you. Damn it Kagome open your eyes, don't you see what your capable of, LOOK AT ME DAMN IT"
She didn't know how to respond, her shock and confusion mixed with uncertainty. She wanted to believe him, and every fiber of her being wanted to reach out and let him no she understood but she only understood half of it. She wanted to let inuyasha take her, yet she was tainted, her flesh was abused and her innocents was stolen.
" Inuyasha i wanted you...to be who i lost my innocents too and now, now i feel so sickly impure. I wanted nothing more then to be your mate and wife, but i cant take back what was so savagely token. I'm sorry, i really did try to fight them off, i tried with all my might but they'd beat me" This made him clench his fist. " They'd take a hot poker and brand me, they'd slap, punch and knock the very breath out of my body until i was unable to move, once they got what they wanted, they'd leave me there in a heep of blood and fluids. I'm not pure anymore, " Her voice shook. " I'm no good for you now" tears flowed down her cheeks.
He growled and punched the wall. " no GOOD for me?" he questioned anger seeping through. Kagome shook head as to answer his question, which didn't set well with the already peeved and lustful half-demon. "no good, impure, you think your impure are you stupid or just blind?" he grabbed her and walked her over to her over sized bedroom mirror, he grabbed both her arms and stood behind her so she could see her refection. " Tell me kagome, what do you see that's no good and so impure? is it the marks left behind by those i ripped apart, she looked away in shame, he refused to let her believe she was impure, he took his hand and traced the side of her waist and along the side of her breast. " you're not impure, the outer body of any human is only a shell of there former selves, whats pure is whats on the inside, your soul Kagome. And even though your body is covered and black and blue marks, from the amount of abuse your still beautiful, don't ever doubt that. You are not impure, right now your spirits just broken. And i swear ill do everything in my power to retain your light. you have always been more than good enough for me, its I who is not good enough for you."
"But inuyasha..." he took his finger and silenced her he shook his head .
" i'm sorry i wasn't able to get to you fast enough, i'm sorry those ass-whole's touched you in ways no man with morals should, i'm sorry i was blind and couldn't see what i had in front of me, i'm sorry i cant rewind time and stop all of this from happening, i am the one who doesn't deserve your love. I'M THE ONE WHO'S IMPURE, not you. " he let his hand drop from her cheek and stood up and slowly walked towards the window.
" I'll always love you inuyasha, nothing well change that" not even if you chose to return to hell with kikyo, id still love you even then.
" get some rest, once the sun rises ill take you back and get your wounds token care of," he didn't turn around to face her, right now he couldn't
A fresh stream of tears made there way down his hard written face though he stood his ground, his legs shook and his hands trembled. This would of all been prevented if he'd of just stayed and never of ran off in the first place, he new that in his heart if he was there instead of losing his temper like he did, she'd never of been violated or in this state of denial.
The sound of rush hour awoken him in a state of panic, honking horns and rushing iron carts and chatter of humans running amok on the streets. He took a deep breath trying to calm his racing heart, as soon as he calmed down he turned to look towards Kagome only to realize her bed was empty and made. He walked over to the bed and sat down wondering where she went, He closed his eyes and sighed. Freaking nosy future world. A knock on the door got his attention and he raised an questioning brow when kagome's mother stepped inside with some herbal tea. She walked in and sat the tea on Kagomes bed side dresser.
" Morning dear" she smiled up at him,
Inuyasha blushed a bit, " uh...yeah morning'" he scratched the back of his head than looked out the window." Ummm where's kagome?" he asked.
" She made an appointment with her Dr to go get seen" a frown replaced the ever smiling warm bubbly woman,
Inuyasha felt his lungs tighten, Kagome must've told her about what happened' He didn't know what to do besides sit in complete silence. " Don't worry dear, she explained everything, we don't blame you" she finished , tears gathering in her eyes, she gave him a sad smile and placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder. " Thank you , For saving my little girl"
My eyes burned, i shook it off and let out a "keh" looking away from her warm eyes.
" Why'd she go to the Dr?, what is a Dr and why'd she have to go?"
As kagomes mother explained the who situation from start to finish, left in its wake was a very frantic Half demon who wanted nothin' more then to find this dr and rip his hands off, how dare he touch kagome in the manner. The thought consumed him with fury, Within a blink he was out the window tracking down the woman's sent.
" AIN'T NO WAY IN BLOODY HELL I'M GONNA LET SOME RANDOM DR, PUT HIS HANDS ON KAGOME I DON'T CARE RATHER ITS MEDICAL OR NOT, WHAT PERVERT DR TOUCHES A WOMAN LIKE THAT?, I KILLED THE OTHER FILTHY WRETCHES THAT DEFILED HER, AND DAMN IT I HAVE NO PROBLEM DOING SO AGAIN."
Kagome lay down on the hospital bed, her legs on either side of her, the Dr walked in and introduced himself before he went over all the medical information, when kagome told the Dr why she was there, he frowned and gave his sincere apologies, she thanked him with a sad smile and watched as he went and washed his hands than put on his rubber gloves, " Ok dear, i need you to lean down and open your legs and try to relax." She swallowed and nodded.
Before the Dr could do anything else the door to the room was kicked down, The shock had the Dr falling backwards on his ass. Inuyasha stepped in growling. Kagome was in complete and utter shock and embarrassment. " Inuyasha...what are you doing?, This man wasn't doing anything but his job" She was a little upset but he didn't care.
" HIS JOB!" his voice was thick with disgust.
Kagome sighed and shook her head, " Inuyasha that's enough, Stop this rampage and settle down, "
The Dr was hiding up agents his desk, shaking in fear.
" iNUYASHA SIT!" she yelled. Kagome got off the bed and walked over to the Dr, before inuyasha came too from his massive whole she just sat him in.
" I'm Very sorry, he really doesn't mean any harm"
"Says you wench" he mumbled from his whole
" SIT" another slam into the floor left him twitching
The dr stood up dusting off his scrubs and looked down at the hole that the man who came in hell fire and fury lay crippled and unable to move. " dear lord, what was that all about?" he asked confused.
" Don't worry about him dr, ill talk to him"
the dr nodded " please do, id rather not have my life taken"
Kagome waited until the dr walked out the door before she looked down at Inuyasha, Who was slowly trying to get off the dirty floor. Kagome knelled down in-front of him " what was that all about?"
"don't play dumb, you know damn well what it was about, why didn't you tell me you were going to get seen," he asked angry
" i knew if i told you, you'd try and stop me"
"DAMN RIGHT I WOULD" he sat up so fast she didn't even have time to blink, '' so you thought id be OK with some OLD goat getting his kicks TOUCHING YOU'' He saw red, everything was red, so red that everything reminded him of blood. " you expect me to sit by idly and and...AND JUST WATCH AS THAT MAN RUNS HIS SLIMY HANDS OVER YOUR BODY, DAMN IT KAGOME HAVE YOU LOST YOUR DAMN MIND!" He yelled while pacing back in forth hands pulling at his head, he was pissed, not scratch that, he was furious.
"plz listen to me" she said softly
He stopped his pacing and listened.
"This dr is a woman's dr, in short term he checks my womanly parts to examine what damage was done. Inuyasha please understand i need to ...make sure everything i okay"
" I told you there was nothing wrong yesterday when you asked" he said coldly
" I know you did, but i need to see for myself inuyasha. I need to make sure that sick man didn't give me some sort of STD. "
"what the fuck is an STD?" he asked in a bitter tone.
She walked up to him and grabbed his hand. she felt him shake and understood the fear in his eyes.
" its something humans can get if the other person is already infected," she answered
Inuyasha raised a brow, then huffed out a shaky breath. Visions of what conspired a day or so flashed in his mind when he saw that old man go to touch kagome, he closed his eyes trying to shake the image away. His blood was set and he was burning with fury. " Do you honestly think i wouldn't pick up something different if it came to you?" he balled up his fist. " i couldn't save you when you were savagely beaten, broken and abused, you were assaulted Kagome, and ill kill anyone who touches you wrongly again. " His voice held venom and his bang covered his eyes as to hide any real emotion from her. Kagome looked away and sighed.
"what if you stay, hold my hand while i'm being checked, plz...inuyasha" her voice pleading.
"keh, " he answered, nodding.
She smiled, and thanked him by reaching up on her tipsy toes and giving him a soft kiss on the cheek.
his heart hammered against his chest. He needed to calm down. Kagome gasped as she seen his eyes flash from red to gold again.
"fine, tell that dr, to do his damn job, and if he hurts you i wont hesitate to break his damn arms."
Inuyasha needed to cool off before he went back to kagome, His been having so much inner conflict, he bit his lip drawing blood as he felt his fangs lengthen' why cant he suppress his inner demon, he can feel it, sitting there scratching at the surface, but what it wanted and what his human side wanted was two different things. The demon was ruthless and would do anything to subdue kagome and leave its mark on her well being and body, while the human side hurt and cried out in shame and blamed himself for not saving his love before she was used and sexually assaulted and left with internal scars.
After a few deep breaths and some cool calming air, he leaned up against the wall and slid down. He felt so drained and for once in his half demon life, tired. he bowed his head, he needed to keep it together, for kagome at least.
Back in the room the doctor who was shaking like a leaf was getting ready to do his job when Inuyasha walked into the room. The dr jumped and was getting ready to run past him when inuyasha grabbed a hold of his arm.
" I beg of you spare me, i mean the young lady no harm, i'm just...doing my job" the dr said
Inuyasha raised an uncertain brow he looked at kagome, who nodded.
" fine, do your job so we can hurry and get the hell out of here" he replied
Inuyasha walked up to the bedside and held out his hand for kagome to hold. He stood there and tried to close his mind off from what was going on right in front of him. he did his best to ignore the situation as the doctor did what he needed to do, but still didn't help the burning rage. Kagome tightened her hand in his to re insure that everything was gonna be okay, she was okay. So he closed his eyes swallowed his fear.
Once it was done and the doctor hurried and left, he was left alone the room with kagome who was now getting dressed. she hissed a little and that caused him to turn his head to look, her side was bruised and a few ribs were broken, which caused her to hiss in pain when she tried putting her shirt back on.
he felt un easy and his face began to burn. With shaky hands he went and helped her with her shirt. Once in placed she smiled and thanked him, he blushed a little and looked away.
A week or so later, After confirming that her test came out well, they decided to go back to the feudal era
They barely spoke to one another. The tension was really thick.
On there way back they were welcomed with smiles
Shippo was running to jump on kagome, when Inuyasha caught him mid jump, by his tail. " Don't even think about it squirt, "
Kagome huffed and yanked on his arm " Put him down, i'm fine"
His eye brow twitched out of annoyance . Than dropped the fur ball and turned away, arms crossed.
She sighed and picked Shippo up. " Hey there cutie did you miss me?"
Shippo grinned " We all missed you kagome...we thought you'd never come back...but " he stopped when he realized that kagome had bruises and cuts everywhere. " Whys your body all banged up?" he asked concerned.
Shippo glared daggers at inuyasha " feh, don't even think about it brat, i didn't touch her those marks, ain't of my doing" his voice a deep draw
Kagome noticed his sudden change in mood, the way his fist balled up and his skin ashed.
Songo and Miroku watched then glanced at kagome who was lost in her own mind set.
" Um is it to much to ask, what happened while you were both gone, something obviously changed," Miroku spoke but didn't get a repliy from either of of them.
" Kagome, you can tell us" Songo said softly.
" Alright you two, enough badgering, she needs medical assistance and rest, " Inuyasha said, " I'm taking her to kaeda's "
" what happened?" Miroku asked?
Inuyasha stood guard by the old maidens door, while she cleaned and redressed kagome's wounds. His eyes were hard and he shook his head as if saying to drop it, but he should've known better. " you wanna know what happened?, yet i feel it is not my job to say" he grunted out.
Miroku looked passed inuyasha into the window of the hut where the old woman sat nursing kagome, when Miroku saw the marks on her back bail reached his throat. The slashes on he back were so raw that the bone mearly shown. He took in a shaky breath, and swallowed harshly. " Damn it inuyasha, just look at her, what in the hell happened, surly you didn't do that"
Inuyasha's brow raised and a deep growl came from his chest. " YOU ASSUME IT WAS ME?" he yelled loud enough to drain the color from the monk's face.
He held up his hands to defend himself " now see here...i never said you did it, i just said i new you wouldn't do something like that,...i swear i didn't mean anything bye it please calm down, you've been a ticking time bomb scent's you've came back, i merely wanna know what in the blue blazing hell happened to cause her back to look like chopped up meat."
Inuyasha stomach started to get sour, at the thought.
" Please, just tell me. I promise i wont say a word to songo unless you tell me otherwise, but i need to know"
Inuyasha glanced back into the door way and saw kagome, she grinned and continued talking to the old woman.
" When i arrived in kagome's time, i realized she wasn't alone." he stopped remembering the smell of the blood.
" i fallowed her scent to this crappy shed her grandfather used to store all his artifacts. " he took a deep breath.
"what i seen was enough to drive the wisest of man insane, and just imagine what that would be like for a person like me" his fist tightened
" her blood was everywhere, scattered. She was chained and shackled to the wall like a wild animal, she was...barely clothed, beaten." he closed his eyes as they began to burn.
Miroku's eyes widened in horror. " oh know, oh god know, was she...was she?"
Inuyasha's body began to tremble. " she was captured, bye a lowly human who smelled of booze and vomit. but most of all he smelled of her" Miroku shook his head wanting the puke.
"They took her Miroku, they kidnapped her, beat her, then...rapped her" the last bit inuyasha barely was able to get through his teeth as his hand flew up to his mouth to stop the bail from flowing out in front of him. Miroku sat up and hurried to give him water, he refused it and eventually was able to settle his stomach.
"please don't say anything, not to anyone, unless she herself is ready to let you all no" he begged.
Miroku nodded and placed a hand on his friends shoulder. " i promise...i'm so sorry " he whispered.
Inuyasha sighed out a shaky breath trying to calm down. " as am i" he closed his eyes.
