The Woman Behind the Mask

Chapter 6


For many weeks Kagome spent in the hospital recovering. And everyday Inuyasha stayed by her side to keep her company. After a while Kagome began to get rather bored and would try to sneak out of the room to walk. Every time Inuyasha got her and put her back to bed.


"Come on Inuyasha, I have to get out of this room, it is driving me crazy not moving all day and night," Kagome pleaded.


"Kagome you have been through enough. You need to rest for now. Later I'll take you for a walk, how does that sound?" asked Inuyasha.


"Really! You would do that...for me? Kagome asked excitedly.


"Um.....yeah....sure," replied Inuyasha.


Kagome leapt over to Inuyasha hugging him.


"Thank you Inu-sama! That means so much to me."


"Feh."


Kagome just smiled as she finally sat back onto the bed satisfied that after she was released from the hospital she would go on a walk with Inuyasha.


"That blasted wench...why does she have to go and hug me for? Not......that I....didn't mind...shoot. Why am I so worked up over this girl?" Inuyasha thought.


~~~Flashback~~~


"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.


~~~End Flashback~~~


"Oh yeah...that's why. Feh."


Kagome, of course, began to ask questions about all that had been going on while she was in the hospital. Inuyasha answered all that he could for her, until one unnerving question arose.


"Inuyasha.....what....what happened...to him?" asked Kagome nervously.


Inuyasha knew exactly what the answer to that question was. Her step-father, that day, had been chased all over by his father and the other police. That very day.....he had disappeared and the police could not find him anywhere.


"I don't know Kagome. My father said that he could not tell me," Inuyasha lied glad at that point she could not sense he was lying to her.


"Oh....ok," replied Kagome and she bowed her head.


Inuyasha placed a comforting hand under her chin and titled it up and looked directly into her eyes with his own violet ones.


"Don't worry Kagome. Everything thing is just fine, I wouldn't let anything happen to you and neither would my father," Inuyasha stated.


"I know Inuyasha," replied Kagome.


"Oh Kagome. My father wanted me to me to ask you. Do you have any other family/"


"No....my mother and my brother....left a long while back...she was able to get Sota out after the trial but....there wasn't enough evidence to get me...."


Inuyasha placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder.


"Don't worry about it Kag, you are getting out now. Now since you don't have any other family my father said you could stay with us since that is the case."


Happy tears welled up in Kagome's eyes.


"Thank you so much Inuyasha."

A weak smile passed over Kagome's lips which made Inuyasha smile in spite of trying to be the tough guy he makes himself out to be.


"Kagome, you need to rest now. I can see that you are tired," stated Inuyasha.


"No, I'm not," stated Kagome weakly as she allowed Inuyasha to push her back down to the bed.


"Kagome. Sleep."


Finally Kagome showed her consent by slowly closing her eyes and easily falling to sleep. Inuyasha gently stroked her hair as kagome slept there. Then he stepped back and pulled the covers back over Kagome.


"She looks so peaceful while she is sleeping," Inuyasha said to no one in particular.


Just outside the door someone did hear. Slowly the figure walked back down the hall smiling.


"Inuyasha my son, that is what love is all about," said Inutaisho.


Elsewhere a figure is sneaking through the forest. His clothes are tattered from hopping fences and the tearing branches. The man sits down and smiles to himself then suddenly an evil laugh almost silently comes from his mouth.


"Soon Kagome. Soon your punishment comes," said the man as he evilly grinned.
