The Prom

Chapter Fourteen

Hojo's fight

Last Time:

"Kagome is my girl, and there is no way I'm going to allow you to have her,"

Kagome was really getting pissed off at Hojo, "Look Hojo, isn't it my decision to decide

who I want to be with?"

Kagome, just stay out of this!" yelled Hojo

"Don't ever speak to Kagome like that!" Inu-Yasha snarled. He would rather die than let

someone yell at his mate like that and get away with it.

Kagome didn't know what to do. If either of the two guys weren't watching what they

were doing, they could easily fall over the edge of the roof and fall to their death.

"Inu-Yasha . . . " Kagome whispered.

**************************************************************************

Inu-Yasha and Hojo glared at one another, not taking their eye off each other. Kagome

didn't know what to do, there was really nothing she could do except watch.

^I can't kill Hojo because he's Kagome's friend^ thought Inu-Yasha as he took a glance

at Kagome and then back at Hojo, ^Maybe I can knock him out in one blow, besides he

still looks pretty tired from that competition we had^

Hojo was the first to move as he lunged at Inu-Yasha and tried to take a swing at him,

but Inu-Yasha easily avoided it, and used his left foot to trip Hojo. Landing on his chest,

Hojo gave a small grunt as he tried to get to his feet. Inu-Yasha stayed well back, his

reflexes weren't as good as if he were in his demon form, and didn't know if Hojo had

some sort of weapon on him or not. Hojo got to his feet and smiled, "I'll admit, your a

fast one, but that won't save you,"

"You make it sound like you plan to kill me," commented Inu-Yasha.

"Not really, but if I do then so be it,"

"You really are an idiot! Did you not see me when we were in the gym, I'm a lot

stronger than you are, do you really think you have a chance?"

"You sound confident,"

Inu-Yasha just smiled as he got his fists ready. He could tell that Hojo was in pain

physically and emotionally. Taking the first move again, Hojo ran forward and tried to

hit Inu-Yasha, but missed again. However Inu-Yasha was surprised at what came next.

Hojo tried to hit him again, but Inu-Yasha dodged the attack, however Hojo had expected

that. The next thing Inu-Yasha knew, there was a great sharp pain on his right arm.

Leaping towards where Kagome stood, he kneeled down to see what the hell had

happened. From the top of his arm to the elbow was a deep cut that was a centimeter

wide. Blood started to stain the once white cotton shirt so that his whole sleeve was

completely stained.

"Inu-Yasha!" cried Kagome as she knelt down beside him.

Inu-Yasha flinched in pain as he moved his arm. Since he was human it hurt more than

it would have if he had been half demon. Looking up at Hojo, he saw that in his right

hand he had a knife and it was stained with his blood.

"You bastard! You use a weapon when I have none, you fucking bastard!" snarled Inu-

Yasha.

"Do you think I really care what's fair or not, as long as I win, I'm satisfied," sneered

Hojo.

Inu-Yasha snarled as he got to his feet. He didn't have anything to cover the wound,

and if Hojo hit him with that knife again he would be in trouble. He would have to get

that knife out of his hand somehow, but Inu-Yasha's thoughts were interrupted as Hojo

came charging at him again. Clutching his arm, Inu-Yasha rolled out of the way, but was

hit again in the shoulder. This is why he hated his human form, he couldn't protect

anyone, not even himself. Getting to his feet, he tried to think of what to do, finally he

ran towards the other side of the roof where a small warehouse was for sport supplies.

Hojo immedialty followed, "I will not let you escape so easily," sneered Hojo as Inu-

Yasha ran into the shack.

Hojo ran inside himself and since it was so dark he didn't see Inu- Yasha's fist. The

knife left his hand and skidded away. Hojo slowly got to his feet and watched Inu-Yasha

come out of the shack, still clutching his arm, "Like I said, you really are stupid to fall for

that one,"

Hojo let out a cry as he leaped at Inu-Yasha, however he just stepped to the side as Hojo

went flying into the dark shack. There was a loud crash as Hojo ran into the shelf of

supplies. Chuckling to himself, Inu-Yasha headed back towards Kagome.

Kagome had tears in her eyes as Inu-Yasha approached her, his arm drenched in blood

since he had used it to punch Hojo.

"Inu-Yasha," gasped Kagome as she ran towards him and hugged him. "Your hurt,"

"It's nothing, I'll live. The worst was when I faced the peach man, remember?"

Kagome nodded as she hugged Inu-Yasha tighter. Inu-Yasha was about to return the

hug but stopped, he could hear someone coming from behind him. Moving fast, he

pushed Kagome away from him and turned around. In very slow motion he saw Hojo

come charging at him with a sort of wooden stick in his hand, and hit him right in the

gut. Crying out in pain Inu-Yasha went flying back and hit the ground hard.

"Ah," groaned Inu-Yasha as he tried to get to his feet again.

Kagome was on the ground and tears were pouring down her face. Hojo had grabbed a

bat from the shack, and now Inu-Yasha was hurt even more.

"Stop this now!" shrieked Kagome.

Hojo didn't answer as he ran forward and hit Inu-Yasha in chest. Inu- Yasha skidded to a

stop, and he noticed that his head was resting near the edge of the roof. Inu-Yasha

gasped about how high they were.

"Stop!" screamed Kagome as she leaped on Hojo and started to pound her fist on his

arm, trying to get him to release the bat.

"Get off of me!" yelled Hojo, as he grabbed Kagome's arm and threw her off of her.

Inu-Yasha tried to get up, but to no avail. ^How dare Hojo throw my mate like that!

That bastard will pay^

"I don't want to kill you Inu-Yasha, but I will not leave you conscious!" cried Hojo as he

aimed the bat for Inu-Yasha's head.

Inu-Yasha knew very damn well that with the force Hojo would use, his face would

most likely break, and maybe even his neck. He only had one choice. Just as Hojo was

winding up for the swing and was foot from him, Inu-Yasha cried out, "Kagome! Please

forgive me!"

Using his remaining strength, he raised his legs and placed them under Hojo's chest.

"So long!" screamed Inu-Yasha as he flung Hojo over the edge screaming, the bat still in

his hand.

Kagome did not move or say a word, but she did gasp as she heard a sickening crack.

Getting to her feet, she ran to Inu-Yasha and helped him to his feet.

"Are you alright my mate?" whispered Kagome.

"I'll be fine, but I'll be as good as new once the sun rises. Kagome I'm so sorry, I've . . .

killed your friend,"

Kagome nodded and hugged him tightly. Inu-Yasha ignored the pain in his chest and

hugged her back. "It's alright Inu-Yasha, if you hadn't done that, I would of,"

"Kagome . . . we have to get . . . out of here,"

"Right," putting her arm around him, she helped him towards the door, and would head

home.

**************************************************************************

Kagome looked inside the house and was relieved to find everyone was sleeping. It was

now midnight as the clock struck twelve times. Kagome helped Inu-Yasha to the

bathroom, trying not to make a sound. As they entered the bathroom, Kagome closed the

door behind them and turned on the lights. Inu-Yasha had a black eye, many bruises on

his arms as Kagome took his shirt off, and more bruises on his chest an stomach. Going

to the cabinet, she grabbed some bandages an medicine so she could clean and cover Inu-

Yasha's cut.

Inu-Yasha noticed that Kagome wasn't looking at him, and didn't even speak to him

when they had left the school. "I'm sorry,"

Kagome looked up from his wound to look into his eyes, but didn't say anything.

"I . . . didn't know what else to do . . . an when he hurt you . . . I just . . . couldn't think

of anything else. I'll understand . . . if you don't want to . . . be my mate anymore . . . I

mean I haven't marked you . . . so you can refuse now if you like," Inu- Yasha noticed

Kagome was giving a blank expressions, it showed no emotion, almost the look

Sesshoumaru always has, and it was starting to scare him. Kagome looked back at his

wound and finished putting the bandage on before she spoke. "I'm . . . I can't really

explain what I'm feeling right now, but I'm not mad at you,"

"You're not?"

"No. It's just that . . . we killed someone . . . and we could got to prison . . . and

basically my life here is ruined,"

"I'm sorry,"

"No, don't be sorry. I don't know what to do, because . . ." Kagome stopped, trying to

find the right words. ^I grabbed Hojo, so they'll find my fingerprints on him, and I don't

know if they'll believe me or not^

"Kagome what's the matter?"

"Inu-Yasha, wait here,"

Kagome left the bathroom and went to her mom's room.

**************************************************************************

After an hour of explaining about their decision to be together and the fight with Hojo,

Kagome's mom was speechless. Inu-Yasha was sitting on the floor with Kagome in his

arms, and across from them was Kagome's mom sitting on the side of the tub.

After what seemed like hours, Kagome's mom finally spoke,"Did anyone see you?"

"I don't think so," said Kagome.

"I'm afraid this is not good. I know you didn't mean to kill him Inu- Yasha, but . . ."

"But what?" asked Inu-Yasha.

"It's . . . well . . . in the morning your going to be demon. Once they see you who are

they going to believe? The evidence the body shows or a demon?"

Kagome was silent for a moment, her mom had a very good point.

"You can't stay here, the both of you must leave,"

"But mom . . ."

"Kagome please listen to me, it's not safe here for either of you. You committed the

worst crime there is,"

Inu-Yasha held Kagome tighter.

"You should probably leave tonight before the police come,"

"But mom . . ."

Kagome's mom stared at her, a long cold stare meaning the discussion was over.

Inu-Yasha stood up, and walked over to Mrs. Higurashi, "I'm sorry, are you sure there's

nothing else we can do?"

"No, there isn't. Now you two get out of your prom clothes and into something else,"

"Mom, can I at least say good bye to Sota and Grandpa?"

"Yes, I'll get them," she said as she left the bathroom.

Kagome and Inu-Yasha left the bathroom and went to Kagome's room to change. Inu-

Yasha was back in his red outfit and Kagome in a sweat shirt and pants. They waited on

Kagome's bed as her Grandpa walked in. "Kagome my dear, I have decided that you two

will leave in the morning,"

"Grandpa I'm so sorry," sobbed Kagome as she hugged her grandpa.

"I know my dear, I know," he then turned to Inu-Yasha, "You'd better take very good

care of her young man,"

"I will,"

"Now, your brother is going to come in and say good bye, and then you two will get

some sleep, ok?"

Kagome and Inu-Yasha nodded their heads. Just as grandpa left, Sota came in. "Hey

sis,"

"Hi Sota,"

"Hey squirt,"

Sota hugged her sister and Inu-Yasha. "You'll come visit right?"

"It might be a while before we do that, but yes we will,"

Sota smiled, "That's good, I was afraid I was never going to see you again,"

"You can't get rid of us that easily," said Inu-Yasha.

"Well I'm supposed to let you two get some sleep, so see you in the morning or when

ever you decide to visit," said Sota as he walked out of the room.

Getting off the bed, Kagome pulled back the covers and crawled into bed with Inu-

Yasha right behind her. Turning off the light, Inu-Yasha wrapped his arms around

Kagome's waist and pulled her back to his chest. He didn't know what to say to her, he

was lost for words as was Kagome. Neither of them knew how they felt, it was just this

strange feeling that they couldn't explain.

"Inu-Yasha," whispered Kagome.

"Yeah?"

"Are you glad you killed Hojo?"

"No,"

"I thought you would be,"

"No, I don't like killing people, but when I saw him throw you to the ground . . ."

"I know Inu-Yasha," whispered Kagome.

"Are you mad at me?"

"No,"

"But Kagome . . . I just killed one of your friends,"

"Maybe so, but I was more worried about you . . . I mean . . . he could have killed you

with that bat,"

Inu-Yasha closed his eyes as he remembered the searing pain that had been going

through his body at the time.

"Besides, the only thing I'm really sad about is that I won't be able to see my family for a

while, we'll have to wait a few month's,"

Nodding, Inu-Yasha held Kagome tighter. "I'm sorry,"

"Will you stop apologizing and go to sleep! I mean before you never apologized, and

now . . ." Kagome was silenced as Inu-Yasha rolled her over and kissed her.

"Let's just go to sleep,"

Kagome nodded, snuggled more closer to Inu-Yasha before she let sleep overcome her.

TBC . . . or not!

Well people I know this one really sucked but oh well!!!!!!!! Now if some of you think I

should continue or not. I could end it here, but I have more planned to do with Kikyo,

and I wanted Sesshoumaru and Rin to make an appearance, but if you think I should stop

here, then tell me!!!!!!!!
