The Woman Behind the Mask
Chapter 4
Kagome remained at the hospital for sometime fully unaware of what was going outside.
Inuyasha had left a few days ago. He was enraged at what had been done to his Kagome. He knew that he could not take it into his own hands so he took it to his family.
"What!?" exclaimed Sess.
"Yeah, Kagome has been beaten severely by her father. I don't know how long it has been going on but she needs help," Inuyasha replied.
Sess and Rin stood in front of Inuyasha transfixed. Some time ago Rin and Sess had gotten married. Their wedding surprised everyone....especially Inuyasha. For years the only side Inu had seen of his brother is the one who wanted to kill him. Now Sess is a kinder person to everyone.
"That's terrible," stated Rin.
"I'm sure father could help," said Sess, "he is head of the police force after all." (Don't ask me why he is but I had to put him in some position that would best suited to help Kag.)
"Yeah. Could you tell him the situation for me? I need to go back and see how Kagome is doing," asked Inuyasha.
"Sure. Rin want to come with me?" asked Sess.
"Sure. We'll see you around Inu," called Rin as they walked off.
"Now time to check up on Kagome," Inuyasha thought.
~~~At the hospital~~~
"What!" Inuyasha exclaimed.
"Yes, many hours ago a man came in who was her father and took her home," replied the nurse, "why? What is the matter?"
"That man is the one who did that to her!" Inuyasha yelled.
"Oh my gosh I had no idea. Do you want me to call the police?"
Just then down the hall Inuyasha heard his name being called. He looked and there was his dad in uniform walking towards him.
As his father approached he saw the worried expression on Inu's face.
"What's wrong Inuyasha?" Inutaisho asked with a worried expression starting to cross his face.
Inuyasha explained the whole situation to his father.
"What!" exclaimed Inutaisho.
"Yeah and I came here to check on her and they just said her father came in here and took her out of the hospital," continued Inuyasha.
"Well I won't stand for this we are going over there right now and sort this out."
Inuyasha and his father Inutaisho walked outside and got into his police car and drove over to Kagome's house. Within moments they arrived and they both got out and walked up to the door.
"Let me handle this," said Inutaisho as he knocked on the door.
Inside they heard someone stumbling to the door, they assumed it was Kagome's father. When the door opened it was Kagome.
"Kagome what are you doing standing up in your condition?" asked Inuyasha concerned.
"What condition?" asked Kagome with a nervous smile.
Behind her they saw someone else coming.
"Kagome finish cleaning up this mess you made then you can start on the mess that you call a room," said the voice.
As the figure walked up they noticed that it was Kagome's father.
"Yes sir," said Kagome and she obediently went back to her chores.
"Now how may I help you gentlemen," he said to Inutaisho and Inuyasha.
Inutaisho cleared his throat and began to talk to Kagome's father about the situation. As they talked Inuyasha looked over at kagome who was still cleaning up the mess from a week ago. He could tell by the way she moved that she was still in pain. As Inuyasha looked closer he saw that she had re-opened one of her wounds from cleaning.
"So you are with the police?" asked Kaogome's father as he turned and gave a death glare to Kagome and then one to Inuyasha who had kneeled by Kagome.
"Yes I am sir. I happen to be chief of the police. My son here had a concern about his class mate and friend Kagome and he brought it to my attention," answered back Inutaisho boldly.
Inuyasha and Kagome did not see the glares or hear what was being said because they were looking at each other.
"Kagome," Inuyasha whispered.
"Oh, Inuyasha," said Kagome as she reached over and hugged Inuyasha and began to cry.
Inuyasha hugged her back and began to slowly stroke her hair.
"It will be okay Kagome. My dad is here to help. Kagome here take this but look at them now. They are little cameras, place them around the house. My dad knows we can't get you out today but with these cameras we can see what is happening 24/7. So if your step-dad does come after you it is on film and we can come immediately," said Inuyasha.
Kagome nodded slowly and she tucked the bag into her pocket.
"Come on Inuyasha. There is nothing more we can do right now. We don't have proof," stated Inutaisho.
Inuyasha stood up enraged but only acting so Kagome's step-dad wouldn't get suspicious.
"What! No proof! Look here Kagome is your proof!" Inuyasha yelled as he winked at Kagome then turned around.
"Just come on son. When we find enough proof we will come back and sort this out," replied Inutaisho, "thank you for your time sir."
"Sure no problem," Kagome's dad replied placing a fake smile on his face.
While Kagome was "cleaning" she began to place to cameras at various spots because she knew as soon as Inuyasha and his dad were out of sight her step-dad would be all over her.
Kagome's step-dad waved as Inuyasha and Inutaisho got back in the police car and drove away. He slowly shut the door barely making a sound. As Kagome thought the beating began soon after that.
Unbeknownst to them Inuyasha, Inutaisho and about three other police waited around the corner waiting for the moment to strike.
