Chapter 3: Truth
Inuyasha climbed out of the well. 'Where is she?' He carefully crept to the house. That's when it hit him. Her scent, but it wasn't right. It had the scent of salty tears and .........blood? He knew that something wasn't right. Why would blood be mixed in with scent? Unless she was hurt and that is why she was crying. He went to her window and looked in. She wasn't there. He silently opened her window and slipped in. The smell was worse inside of the house.
He went from room to room. He found the room that the scent was coming from the strongest. He walked in and was appalled at what he saw. Blood was on the bed. Kagome's blood. He heard a faint whisper in the corner of the room.
"Inu......yasha......?" He quickly went to her side. What he saw made him see red. Kagome was naked and lying on the floor in a pool of her own blood. She was covered in bruises.
"Kagome, what happened?!" He pulled off his hoari, picked her up, and wrapped her in it.
"It hurt so bad." He could tell that she was slipping into unconsciousness.
"Kagome, stay awake! Kagome, don't fall asleep!" It was too late. She was already out. He picked her up and went to her room. He sat her down on her bed and went about her room, grabbing clothes here and there. He was furious. 'Whoever the bastard is that did this, he WILL pay!' He gingerly picked Kagome up and jumped out of the window. He made it to the well house and jumped into the well.
When he arrived on the other side, he ran through the forest and stopped near a hot spring. He needed to get this blood off of her. He didn't care if she sat him 100 times. He picked her up and sat her in the spring and began to wash off the dried blood. She was beginning to come to.
"Inuyasha, what are we doing here? What am I doing in the hot spring?" She tried to sit up but was softly pushed down.
"You don't need to move yet. What happened to you?" She looked away from him and thought for a second. 'There's no way of avoiding it now.'
"I was........." she could feel tears coming to her eyes just remembering the pain.
*Please don't, daddy! Please don't*
"Was what?"
"Raped." She said, just above a whisper.
"By who?" She could tell he was trying to control his anger just by the sound of his voice.
"Please don't—"
"By who?" He asked in a slightly louder tone.
"My father." She was now crying. He sighed and hugged her shaking body close to him. She was now sobbing, each sob racking her battered body.
"It hurt so much, Inuyasha! I couldn't stop him, I tried, but I just couldn't!" She dug her face into his chest.
"Please don't let him hurt me again! Please!"
"Shh, shh. It's okay. I won't leave. I want let him hurt you again." 'The bastard is going to DIE!!' About thirty minutes later, she was asleep in his arms. He looked her over and found numerous old, healing bruises. He desperately wanted to wake her up and ask her about it, but he decided otherwise. He picked her up and walked toward the village.
"Kaede, I need you to look at Kagome. She was hurt in her time."
"Okay, Inuyasha. What happened to her?"
"She was raped." He once again found himself trying to suppress his anger.
"Oh my! Well, I had better get started. You can wait outside if you wish."
"No." He put his hand on the hilt of Tetsusaiga and turned to leave. He said over his shoulder, "I have other things to take care of."
This fic only has about one or two chapters left. It was shorter than I expected. I appreciate all 4 reviews I have gotten so far. Thanks! Animelover349
