~*~*~*~*~*~*~Kagome~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I looked around at my cell, seeing that I had been cleaned up and dressed in my regular clothes
again. I slowly, weakly, stood up and felt my head which was pounding. I felt bandages
and relaxed a bit, I wasn't going to bleed to death, which was always a good sign.
As I looked around my cell I saw a blood stain on the floor where my head had connected twenty
days before. I went to the door slowly and pushed open the window, seeing Inuyasha standing
outside of it looking at me. He smiled and motioned for me to move. I did and he pushed open
the door.
I went to the table sitting down and he came in carrying a first aid kit and a hot wash cloth.
Inuyasha came over to the table setting down the things he carried and he slowly started to dab
the bandages around my head to get them to fall off. They didn't. So he carefully pulled them
off my head, as I cringed due to dried blood holding them on.
As Inuyasha tended to my wound I wondered why he was taking care of it, I mean, he was supposed
to kill me, wasn't he? Not that I wanted him to, its just I don't understand why he hasn't killed
me yet, and why he is taking such good care of me. I felt his hands gently rubbing against the
wound, seeing if it was strong enough for me to go without bandages, I hoped it was, it was.
"Thank you Inuyasha, but I want to know something." I said as he put everything back in the first
aid kit.
"What, wench." he said, not looking up.
"Why haven't you killed me yet, not that I want you to."
Inuyasha looked up at me, then through me as he spoke, "I haven't killed you yet because I see
no point to rushing things, its not as though we must hurry in killing you. Although...No,
nevermind that."
I sat staring at him confused. He spoke as though he couldn't kill me because he didn't want to,
either that or he is just a very confused half breed.
As I stared at Inuyasha he stood up and put the first aid kit away, coming back in with food.
The sight of food was like a blessing, I had never been so hungry in my life. I ate quietly, as
Inuyasha was sitting across from me.
I couldn't help it, I started crying as I ate, I kept thinking of my best friend, Sango, she was
like a sister to me. Her and Shippo. Shippo was like the little brother I had, but he wasn't
such a brat and he didn't read my diary at home. As I thought of Sango, Miroku came to mind,
the little pervert that he is, but he is still my friend.
Inuyasha looked at me and raised an eyebrow. "What is your problem wench?"
"First of all, my name is Kagome, not wench. Second of all, its none of your business." I said
wiping away some tears.
"Yes it is, I'm the one that has to kill you, eventually. So what is your problem?"
"I just miss my friends. You know, the people I hang out with, talk to, people I'm not afraid
of."
"Are you saying your afraid of me?"
"Only when your being nice to me."
"Oh so then I should just be a heartless prick all the time?!" Inuyasha started yelling at me.
"Well you are the guy that is supposed to kill me. Although your not much of a guy, you're more
of a half breed." I said, imediatly regretting saying it.
"SHUT UP!" he shouted throwing me across the room.
I fell into the wall, in so much pain I screamed. I had thrown my left arm out behind me to stop
myself and I had felt the bones slam together with such force that they broke. I held my arm
close to my chest, looking at Inuyasha with tears streaming down my cheeks.
Inuyasha looked at me, as though he was just seeing me. I saw in his golden eyes, the registering
of what pain feels like. He came over and held his hand out for my broken arm. I pulled away
from him, afraid. I saw something that looked like hurt in his eyes. I gave him my arm and
watched, in pain, as he reset the bones.
A yelp of pain came from my lips before I could hold it back. Inuyasha looked up at my face again
and I thought he was going to say something to make me cry. But he didn't.
Instead Inuyasha said, "I'm sorry. You'll be ok though, I promise you that Kagome."
My eyes were about to burst out of my head. Inuyasha was apologizing for something he did?! Okay
someone had put something in his food. Not that I minded, but he even called me Kagome, instead
of the normal, wench.
I watched as he put my arm in a sling and felt his hands linger on the back of my neck as he finished
tying the sling in place. My body was so close to his, that if I really wanted to, I could have
kissed him. Wait a second! Where did that thought come from?!
I was mentally kicking myself for thinking that way about the guy who was to kill me. Actually,
I still am mentally kicking myself, but anyways. Inuyasha pulled away from me and asked if I
was ok. I nodded and he pulled me to my feet.
As he pulled me up my feet tripped over one another and I fell into him, my face on his chest.
I was in new tears because I had landed on my hurt arm. Inuyasha pushed me upright and saw my
face before I could hide it behind my hair.
"Are you okay? And don't say yes if your not."
"I'll be fine."
"Alright."
He led me over to the cot where he motioned for me to lay down, as I did, my dream became so vivid
in my mind that I told him all about it. Inuyasha looked at me in surprise that I had actually
told him anything. I put my hand on the shikon no tama jewel and felt his eyes following my hand.
I pulled the necklace off and set it on the table on the otherside of the room. I trusted Inuyasha,
why I didn't know, but I trusted him. My eyelids became heavy and I fell into sleep, with Inuyasha
still beside me.
When I awoke a while later Inuyasha was still sitting next to me, writing in what looked like his
own journal.

"Kagome?" Inuyasha asked me when he looked up from his writing, closing the book.
"What Inuyasha?" I asked fixing the sling back into place and sitting up.
"Where were you going the night I captured you?"
"Home, I had been stood up for a double date. Sango, my best friend, said that the guy was a jerk
some of the time, but he had a good heart. Then Miroku, her boyfriend, said that he was supposed
to have showed, but then he probably got caught up in his work."
"So, you are the girl I was supposed to meet..." I heard Inuyasha mumble to himself.
"WHAT?! I'm WHO!?!?" I shouted, I couldn't help myself.
"I was supposed to go out with you. But I didn't know your name, otherwise...I probably wouldn't
have captured you..."
I couldn't help myself, I jumped up and grabbed my necklace throwing it on. I shouted "sit boy"
so hard that the floor cracked when Inuyasha fell into it. I ran to the cell door and ripped it
open and started running up the stairs. As I got to the top of the stairs, again, Kaede opened
the door and stood staring at me. I wasn't about to be stopped this time, I threw her to the side
and ran out the door and to the door that would lead outside.
I ripped open the door and took off, towards the road. I ran and got to the sidewalk that led
to Sango's apartment. I started running faster as I got closer to the apartment. I pounded on
the door and Sango opened it and pulled me inside after seeing the look I had on my face.
"Kagome, where have you been? What happened? What's wrong?" Sango asked as I started locking
her door.
"Inuyasha...captured...I was in a cell...I couldn't get out...not until now...he's...he's..." I
started and then I started to cry.
"Miroku, get a tissue, and some tylonel, I think she's going to need it. Kagome, sit down.
Now relax, what about Inuyasha?"
I had sat down and took the tissue and tylonel gratefully. I told Sango of what had happened
as I had been in the cell for about a monthe. Sango was pacing in front of the door, knowing
Inuyasha would be there soon to take me back to the cell. She planned on making sure he wouldn't
take me again.
I had finally stopped crying when Inuyasha started pounding on the door. I jumped and closed my
eyes tightly. I didn't want to go back, I really didn't. But if Kaede was with Inuyasha, then
he had no choice but to take me back. But if she wasn't with him, then I could get out of not
having to go back.
Sango opened the door and I started biting my lips. Inuyasha came in, he was alone. He had a
cut on his forehead from when he was slammed into the floor. He looked at me and shook his head.
I pressed my back into the couch I was sitting on as he came over to me. I closed my eyes tightly
as his hand started towards me. When I wasn't smacked or anything I opened my eyes to see him
holding the journal out to me. I took it carefully.
"I told Kaede I wasn't bringing you back. I told her, she could find someone else." Inuyasha
said to me.
I relaxed and stood up, jerking the beads off of his neck. Inuyasha looked at me, and was about
to say something when I stopped him.
"Aunt Kikyo told me, if I ever met you, and you showed me kindness, more than once. That you
were to be set free. I'm setting you free of my magic, and of her. And in a way, your set free
of Kaede. Although, if she finds someone else, she's going to pay them to go after you."
"Thank you, we-...Kagome." he said, bringing a smile to my lips.
"Well, isn't this touching?" Miroku asked. For once, Sango didn't need to smack him. No one
did. He was right.
It was nice. And it felt right.
