Okay, well before I start this next chapter I feel I should explain a few things to you guys about why I haven't updated for so long. 4 reasons, school was ending and I needed to make sure I got as much time needed on studying as possible, two black ops 2, three minecraft, and four apparently some of my files on her got corrupted and I lost the last chapter. Now I could just go on the website but I had to make sure this didn't happen to the new chapter, and I was right to do this because after I got it "fixed" it actually did get corrupted. So now I have it fixed (hopefully). But I will admit I could have written some days, but I needed some inspiration. So I dedicate this chapter to the songs Scene One by Sleeping with Sirens, Feels like the First Time by Daughtry, and Holiday by Green day.
(Im rewriting this chapter on a plane with as much memory as I can from the last chapter so bare with me here.)
Chapter: Whatever I should name this thing.
Inuyasha sat quietly at his desk, his fingers tapping in a tight rhythm on the side of his desk. Things had been tense the past few days, first Kagome was reluctant to even talk to him and everyone around him seemed to feel the same. Why Couldn't they all understand? Everything he had done was to protect Kagome! Telling her she couldn't go to dinner may have been harsh but he was not going to take the risk. But the worst was when he told her about the inspection. How her face dropped into the worst expression he had ever seen, like he had just stabbed her. Maybe even worse. And now the day was almost here, tomorrow the inspector will come and judge Kagome. And who knows how it will go, what will happen, or...or god who knows?! Inuyasha couldn't take it anymore, his skin was crawling and Kikyo certainly was no help. He could remember every vile word she had the nerve to speak to him last night on the phone.
"So what if the girl gets a bad inspection? We just find another one to replace her right?"
"It isn't that simple Kikyo."
"Oh Inuyasha don't get so caught up over a slave, they're meaningless to people like us."
People like us? What could she have possible meant?
"Hunny I have to go."
"Yeah I do too, but Kikyo one thing."
"Yes my love?"
"Don't bother coming home."
Click, and there it was. Out in the air, the words he had been holding inside his body for years. The relief that passed over him, the joy, the bitter sweet taste of freedom! He was a free and happy man again, and now that one problem was dealt with he could take care of the 98 other ones. Like Kagome, and how he needs to make sure she passes the inspection.
And how to get her to fall in love with him..
But that can all wait, surely it can right?
"Inuyasha, can I speak to you for a second?" Rin spoke softly from behind Inuyasha's door. She poked her head through the space between the door and the frame.
"What is it Rin?" He muttered into his hand as he dragged his fingers over the space between his eyebrows.
"Well everything is ready...you know..for Kagome's inspection." She said, bringing her legs together as she stood before him. She began to wrap her fingers around each other nervously as she brought her back and forth between him and the floor.
He brought his face up to look at her and nodded. "Thank you Rin." He said.
Rin turned to walk towards the door. Just as she was ready to take the first step she reared herself back to her previous position to look at him. "Inuyasha." She spoke with a more serious tone now, waiting for him to give her his attention again. "What if Kagome does not pass the inspection? What happens then?"
Inuyasha brought his hand up to scratch the side of his head. "Dont talk about things like that-"
"Inuyasha! I am not a little girl anymore...I can handle...will they take her back?" She asked, her hands clenched into tight fists at her sides.
He sighed "Honestly, I don't know. I have never had a problem like this before. You and Sango were always given months to prepare, I got a week for Kagome. And with this change what else could they have changed? The inspection completely?"
Rin felt a small knot form in the pit of her stomach, she brought her hands up to cover the tight area. "Inuyasha, promise me you wont let anything happen to Kagome."
"Rin I can't promi-"
"Promise god damnit!" She shouted as she crashed one foot onto the ground. She threw her arms down against her sides. "I know you love her now start acting like it and protect her!" She shouted.
Inuyasha, completely stunned, leaned back in his chair. He looked at Rin differently now, not like a little child he saved from abuse, but a woman growing into strength and pride. "Alright Rin. I will do everything I can." He said with reassurance in his voice. "Now, tell me something. Who told you I love Kagome?" He said as he raised his eye brow.
Rin's eyes widened as she took a step back, a bead of sweat rolling down the side of her face. "Uh...Yes Sango! I'm coming!" She yelled as she quickly ran to the door way. Inuyasha smirked as he heard the slam of his office door, bringing his eyes to rest on a picture of Kikyo oh his desk. He brought his finger up to it, running the tip of it over her face.
"Oh Kikyo, I guess the secrets out huh?" He asked as he pulled his lips together to form a tight line before poking the picture hard enough so that it fell off the desk and crashed onto the floor. He looked up at his door and sighed. "I loved you, but not anymore." He mumbled to himself.
"Sometimes, that's just how the world works."
"Kagome no don't do that!" Sango yelled as Kagome threw another piece of her clothing on the floor. She began to tear at the sleeves as tears poured out of her eyes.
"I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU!" She screamed as she tore from the neckline down to the bottom of the shirt. "I WON'T GO BACK! I. WILL. NOT. GO. BACK!"
"Kagome nobody said you will go back!" Sango tried to scream over Kagome's loud shouting. "Just calm down!"
"NO!" She yelled as she grabbed one of the dresser drawers, ripping from the hinges. She threw it at the wall, cracking the front part of it. The plastic diamond knob fell off and rolled over to her feet, Kagome still crying stared down at it before dropping to her knees. "I can't go back..." She sobbed.
"I know.." Sango muttered as she looked at her.
"What happened!" Inuyasha yelled as he grabbed onto the door frame, his chest puffing out fast as he struggled to cast his breathe.
"Inuyasha my god what happened?" Sango asked.
"I ran all the way here once I heard a bang, what the hell happened?" Inuyasha asked.
"Your really out of shape." Sango said as she crossed her arms over the chest.
"Really? That's what you say right now?! I fucking ran faster than you could ever imagine up a staircase. I think I may have gave a concussion to one of the servants on my way up, and you say I'm out of shape?" He growled as he jerked his head to look at her.
Sango gave a quick serious nod before looking down at Kagome, who was bent over her arms next to the bed as she heaved heavily. "Can't go back, can't go back, can't go back."
"Kagome, you are not going back.." Inuyasha said as he went onto his knees, reaching his hand out towards her. "I promise I won't let anyone take you away from me."
Kagome's eyes switched back and forth between Inuyasha's hand and his face. He facial expression was intense, mixed with worry and passion as he quickly grabbed her hand and yanked her into his arms. Her face fell into his chest, and his hand immediately brushed over her hair as she closed her eyes and relaxed.
"Kagome i've got you...trust me.." He whispered into her ear. Sango, who stood awkwardly in the corner of the room took this time to make her escape. As she quietly sneaked over to the door she turned her head back for a moment to look at the two. Only then did she noticed Inuyasha's face flushed., with a wet streak down the left side of his face.
"Inuyasha crying?" Sango muttered to herself after she finally left the room, "Holy shit." She said as she walked at a quick pace down the hallway.
"INUYASHA!" The sound of a loud, and angry woman barging into the house unwelcome was the only way to describe what happened next. "WHERE ARE YOU! YOU UNGRATEFUL BASTARD!"
"Huh.." Inuyasha said as he poked his head up, looking out the door into the hallway as the steps got louder. "Kikyo?"
"Wait do not go in the-"
"Get out of my fucking way Sango!" Kikyo yelled as she pushed passed Sango in the hall, her forceful push throwing Sango into the wall. "Where are you, Inuyasha. I am going to tear every limb from your fucking body you son of a-" She stopped once she got a look into the room that Sango had just left. Because in that room was a half standing Inuyasha., crouched over a blushing Kagome as he helped her get up.
"OH I FUCKING KNEW IT!" Kikyo yelled as she lunged her body at the now half standing Kagome. Inuyasha quickly threw his arms out to grab Kikyo, who continued to flail her arms in an attempt to hit the frightened girl. "YOU MAN STEALING WHORE! I KNEW YOU'D BE FUCKING TROUBLE! YOU FUCKING BITCH! I'LL KILL YOU!" She yelled as she grabbed Kagome's wrist, clawing her fingers deep into it. Inuyasha yanked her away, throwing her onto the floor nearby. He quickly turned back to look at Kagome, who was holding her wrist. He could see small streaks of blood leaking through her hand, and her eyes grew wider with each secoond.
"Yeah how does it fucking feel bitch!" Kikyo yelled as she stood up, her eyes filled with rage as she once again ran to Kagome. Inuyasha grabbed her by the waist this time, lifted her up off the floor. She kicked her legs out and continued to yell, screaming at Inuyasha to put her down but there was no way he was going to do that.
"I WILL FUCKING KILL YOU!" Kikyo yelled again.
"KIKYO SHUT UP!" Inuyasha yelled as he threw her again, this time with a bit more force. She fell against the side of the wall. This time before she could get up Inuyasha was in front of Kagome, his arms out to his sides. "You will never touch her again or so help me I will kill you."
"That fucking bitch stole my man and I am gonna make her pay! When I am done with her you better pray I have no energy to attack you too!" She yelled, now standing firm on her feet.
"Kikyo leave her alone this has nothing to do with her-"
"To hell it doesn't! I knew you were going to fall for her! I just wish I called in that inspection way sooner!" Kikyo yelled. Her eyes widened quickly as she threw her hands over her mouth.
Inuyasha's jaw dropped, his mind spinning now as he tried to comprehend what he just heard. "You..you called in the inspection?"
Kikyo sighed and put her hands on her hips "Yes I fucking did. She was tearing us apart and still is obviously! Can't you see that my love?"
"What I can see is you leaving right now." He said through his gritted teeth.
"Me leave? Ha you have got to be kidding, I am not leaving. You can't go a day without me just face it." She said with a harsh smile as she lifted up her hand. "I have the ring to prove it."
"I am going to be needing that back." Inuyasha said.
"Ha fuck that, this is a promise to me that we will get married and you will keep that promise." She said as she took a step towards him. "And this bitch, she is going back to the slave trade once she fails that little inspection."
Kagome's face scrunched up as a pit of anger formed at the bottom of her stomach. Her hands clenching into fist as she begged for the strength not to punch Kikyo in the face. "I will not fail.." She murmured from behind Inuyasha.
"Ha so confident huh?!" Kikyo said with a high laugh before taking off her engagement ring. "Since we are no longer engaged I guess it's time to be damn truthful, not only did I call the inspection in but I have also been engaged in a wonderful, sensual affair with Naraku." Kikyo said with a wide smile on her face. "And boy, can he rock my every wish." She said looking at Inuyasha with a pleased expression. His lips formed a tight line, a low growl coming from within his chest.
"Have fun with your little slave trade whore." Kikyo said with a deeply satisfied grin. "And don't worry about your family, I am sure they will be just fine.." Kikyo said, just as she began to turn away Inuyasha reached his arm out. Grabbing her right shoulder, he yanked her back to face him.
"If you touch her family believe me you will pay." Inuyasha growled.
"Oh Inuyasha I don't need that kind of blood on my hands. Don't worry," She started as she pulled away from him "I, won't lay a finger on Kagome's family." She said before she turned and left the room a small laugh being heard from out in the hallway.
"Inuyasha.." Kagome whispered from behind him "What's going to happen.."
"Kagome.." He said as he turned to look at her "Kagome I.." He looked down at the frightened woman before him, his hands reaching down to grab hers. "Kagome..I..I will take care of this.." He said as he leaned close to her, their faces inches apart. He took a deep breathe and mumbled the most reassuring words he could think of to say. "I promise."
And then...he kissed her.
NO NO NO! I AM BLOCKED. I GOT WRITERS BLOCK. SHIT.
