The Woman Behind the Mask

Chapter 5


Down the road waiting and listening sat Inuyasha and his father Inutaisho as well as others wait for the signal to go into action. As they listen in on the very beginning hit that Kagome receives from her step-father they all flinch. Inuyasha starts to get angry.


"I don't understand why we just can't go in there right now and save her!" Inuyasha yelled.


"Son I know how you feel but we have to wait just a little so the cameras can record some of it so when we take him to court he will definitely be put away for a long time," responded Inutaisho calmly.


"Feh."


After waiting a few more minutes Inuyasha began to get angry.


"Ok! I think she has suffered enough! Please can we get her out of there!"


"Ok Inuyasha, we can go save your girlfriend now."


"She's not my girlfriend!" Inuyasha growled as they began to head back to Kagome's house.


"Well you seem care a lot about her well being than anyone else in the same situation."


Inuyasha blushes.


"Don't worry son. Until you want people to know my lips are sealed. Personally I think you should let Kagome know how you feel."


"Feh, whatever."


Within a matter of minutes the four police cars pulled up in front of Kagome's house and the men jumped out and ran towards the door. They listened as the waited for the others to back them up. As they listened they heard the sounds of two people inside. One obviously yelling at the other and things being broken.


Inutaisho looked over to Inuyasha, "Son we will lead in and go after Kagome's father. I want you to grab Kagome and get her out of the main room. Take her to her room or anything just get her as far as possible from her step-father understand?"


Inuyasha nodded as the police squad busted the door in. As expected they found Kagome's step-father begin to swing again at a limp Kagome but as he saw the police dropped Kagome and ran.


While the police began to chase her step-father, Inuyasha ran immediately towards Kagome. As he looked over her he winced. Kagome was worse than he found her the first time. Quickly he remembered what he had to do. Inuyasha picked up Kagome gently as ran her up towards her room. He then placed her on the bed and ran to the door and locked it just in case. Then Inuyasha slowly turned and looked towards Kagome. As he looked at her limp body a small tear fell from his eye.


"I do love her," Inuyasha thought, "dad is right I have to tell her."


"Inu.....yasha....."


Kagome's small voice tore him out of his trance as he rushed to her side. He gently placed her head into his lap and looked down at her.


"Don't worry Kagome, I'm here."


"Inuyasha....I have to tell you something."


"Not now Kagome you need to rest."


"I have to tell you now. Inuyasha I lo...."


Suddenly her words were interrupted by a heavy banging on the door that made Kagome flinch in fear.


"Inuyasha? Are you in there?" yelled Inutaisho.


"Yeah. We're in here and Kagome is safe," Inuyasha called back.


"Who was that?" asked Kagome.


"That is my father Inutaisho. He is head of the police force," replied Inuyasha, "now rest, you are safe now."


"I....love....you....Inuyasha," said Kagome just before she fell back to sleep.


Inuyasha looked surprised but still happy he heard it from Kagome.


"I love you to Kagome," Inuyasha replied to Kagome's sleeping form.
