meant to write 'bathroom light', he turned that on so he could see into her
room better with out blinding her. Sorry for the confusion! Ok, so chapter
tres
*~*~*~*~*~*Chapter Tres*~*~*~*~*~*
Kagome woke up to feel a lot of weight on her stomach. She scrunched up her face and tried to push the weight off of her, but it was no use. Finally she opened her eyes to see her little brother Souta sitting on her. He was looking away from her. She reached up and tilted is head so he would look at her. She gave him a questioning look. He was crying.
He knew that if she talked she would have asked what was wrong, so he decided to answer her. "I miss daddy." He said, bursting into a whole new set of tears. She sat up and scooted back in the bed so her back was against the wall. She pulled Souta onto her lap and cupped the back of his head, pulling him to her.
She was also crying now completely forgetting that Inuyasha and Miroku were still in the room, heck, Miroku was in the same bed! All she wanted was to tell him that it was ok, but she couldn't, especially not with Koga trying to get her to speak now. She took in a deep breath. What am I going to do now? She thought. Then she remembered he was supposed to be spending the night at a friend's house, apparently he read her mind. "I came home because I told them I got homesick." He stated. She nodded and gave him another hug.
"Kagome?" Souta said leaning back a little bit. "Umm, I have to tell you something. Please don't be mad at me." He looked down slightly.
She shook her head telling him she wouldn't be mad. He didn't look convinced, so she stuck her pinky out for a pinky promise, reassuring him. He shook pinkies with her and took deep breath. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you." He paused, and looked at Kagome to see her giving him a clueless look. "You can talk now." He said looking down.
She gave him a look that clearly said 'why, what do you mean?'
"Do you remember that night, that dad died?" she nodded, not knowing where he was going with this. "Well, I was spying on dad, and I saw him put his head to your door." She gasped. He did hear her! "He said. 'That is what she was going to do for my birthday! She was going o tell me she loved me!' he heard you say it that night!" he said almost excitedly. "He 'was' the first person to hear you talk after mom died." She was staring off into space. "Don't you get it Kagome? You can talk now!"
She looked up a him and shook her head, tears coming to her eyes. How was she going to break it to him? Maybe she could a couple of days ago, but not now, not now that Koga wanted her to talk. She looked to her left to see Miroku stirring. She gave Souta a look that said 'I'll tell you later'
The sun was starting to come up, and Kagome wanted to get some sleep before everyone else got up, so she scooted back down and cuddled up with Souta. Before she could think about anything, she drifted off to sleep, not knowing that Inuyasha had listened to their whole one-sided conversation.
I wonder why she won't talk now even though she knows she can. What did Koga do to her? I'll have to get it out of her tomorrow morning before school. He thought to himself before drifting off to sleep as well.
Miroku woke up to an annoying alarm clock going off, a little Souta on his head, Kagome laying on him with her feet to his face and her face to the bottom of the bed, and Inuyasha standing at the edge of his bed laughing at him. He reached over and turned to alarm clock off.
"Ok! Everybody off!" he yelled. Since Souta's ear was right near Miroku's mouth, he shot up quickly, scampering into his room without a word to get ready for school. Kagome only rolled over, off of Miroku.
"At least now I can breathe." He stated, walking out of his room to go take a shower.
"Wait, don't you have to wake Kagome up?" he asked.
"Oh yeah! Why don't you do it, I'm going to take a shower." And with that he left the room.
"I guess it's up to me then." He said to himself. He walked over to the bed and tapped her on the shoulder. "Kagome, wake up, you have to get ready for school." She stirred, but didn't wake. "Kagome, wake up, lets go!" he yelled the last part, causing her to jolt up into a sitting position. She found her self face to face with Inuyasha and got a scared look in her eyes. She scooted back against the wall and brought her knees to her chest.
"Hey, it's me, Inuyasha, ya know, Miroku's friend, saved you from Koga yesterday, remember me?" she calmed down.
Oh my gosh! Why was I so freaked out! I know that I don't have to be afraid of him, he saved me! She thought, feeling bad for what she did. He must think I am so stupid now.
"Anyway, I wanted to ask you something."
"..." She looked up at him, waiting for him to continue.
"I was wondering.ummm" how am I going to put this? "What did Koga want with you?" he asked, deciding that blunt was the best way to go. She took a pen and paper off Miroku's nightstand.
She hesitantly wrote, 'he wanted me to' she paused in her writing, which he noticed. 'Say something.'
"What did he want you to say?" he asked. She shook her head no, telling him she wasn't going to tell him.
"Please tell me, I really want to know." He stated, sounding caring.
'He wanted me to say'~ she was writing quickly, and started to write Naraku, but crossed it out. ~ 'Who killed my mother.'
"Do you know who killed your mother?" he asked. She nodded and wrote something down. "You saw it happen?" he asked softly. She looked at the floor and nodded. They stood there in silence for a while. "Look, I know you aren't telling me everything. Talk to me. Tell me everything." He tried to convince her, putting emphasis on the word talk.
They sat there in silence for a while longer. "I..I..Inu. Inuyasha" she said.
He looked up and gasped. He walked up to her and made her look at him. "What was that?" he asked, smiling all the way.
"I..Inuyasha" she said again, she couldn't help but feel good when she saw his face light up. He leaned down and slid his arms around her waist. He gave her a bone-breaking hug, picking her up and spinning her around him.
"I knew you could do it!" he said setting her down.
"I h. have to t...tell you something." She stuttered, her voice was rough from not being used in so long.
"What is it?" he asked, all of his attention was on her.
"I can't talk," she said breaking down into tears.
"Yes you can!" he said hugging her. "Your doing it right now!" she shook her head.
"You don't understand, Koga wants me to talk, so he can get me to say something on tape and then he will get his fathers money in the will, and I don't want to do anything for him, but he says if I don't."
"Hey, hey, slow down! Slow down!" Inuyasha interrupted her. " What are you talking about? He wants you to say something on tape?" he asked. She nodded. "And you don't want to talk to him?" he asked. She shook her head.
"I don't want to talk to anyone!" she sounded like she was about to cry again, and Inuyasha Hated it 'with a passion' when girls cried.
"oh come on." He said trying to cheer her up. "yes you do! Why wouldn't you?" he asked her softly.
"you didn't hear what he said." She said quietly, looking at the ground.
"Who?"
"Koga" she was still looking at the floor, and speaking quietly.
"what did he say." He said monotone, clenching his teeth. He really hated that guy, almost as much as he hated seeing girls cry.
"...."
"don't tell me you are going to stop talking now!"
she looked up at him. "he said if I didn't talk then he was going hurt Souta. Or me."
"wait, I don't understand. Wouldn't that make you want to talk?" he asked, now confused.
"it's just that," she sniffled a little bit, holding back tears. She didn't want to talk to him because that was what Naraku wanted. And the one thing she didn't want to do was give him what he wanted. But she couldn't tell Inuyasha that. She promised herself she wouldn't' that night Naraku said that there would be worse if she told. He might hurt Souta if he found out that she told! "N.. Nar.. Na" she couldn't bring herself to say his name.
"Kagome, what were you about to say?" he asked calmly. She shook her head no. he sighed and looked at his watch. "Look, I'll let it go for now because we need to get ready for school, get your things together." He said with a sigh, starting to walk away. He looked back when she gasped to get his attention.
"so you're not going to talk?" he asked, hoping that she would say something. She shook her head no. "what was it you waned to say to me?" he asked.
"p.. promise that you wont tell anyone, not even Miroku." She pleaded. He thought for a moment and nodded. She ran up to him and hugged him. They broke apart to finish getting ready for school.
They dropped off Souta and arrived about ten minutes before the bell rang. When they got out of the car Miroku started walking away quickly to me Sango somewhere. Kagome still had to put her things in her backpack, and she panicked when she saw him over 50 yards away from her.
I'm never going to catch up to him! She thought franticly, getting back into the car and locking the doors. She was far too scared to walk all the way to him by herself when Koga could be near. All of the sudden she heard a sudden bang on the window she was closest to, scaring her half to death. Turns out it was Inuyasha who hit the car door, he had run back so quickly when he smelt her fear that he had no time o slow down.
She got out of the car and kneeled down next to the guy laying on he ground in front of her. he wasn't unconscious, but he looked pretty out of it.
"Wow." He said standing up. "that hurt." He looked at Kagome. "Why were you so scared? I could smell it from all the way over there!" he pointed to where Miroku was now standing.
She gave him the you-guys-left-without-me-and-Koga-is-around-here look.
"Oh.sorry about that." He stated. what the hell am I thinking! I just said sorry to this girl! He thought franticly in his head.
She nodded, letting him know that it was ok. They started walking to Miroku so Kagome could kick his @$$ for leaving her there all alone. When they finally reached him Kagome smacked the back of his head, catching him by surprise.
"Hey! What was that for?" he turned around to see a very angry Kagome glaring at him. "I mean, I am sorry for what ever I did and I promise I will never do it again!" he said quickly, shutting his eyes tightly and shrinking away from her. He slowly opened his eyes to see she hadn't moved an inch. She probably hasn't even blinked, he thought.
"Look I'll take you shopping after school today to make up for it." He said with a sigh, sounding defeated. She immediately brightened up and nodded, telling him it was all-good now. He turned to Inuyasha and whispered, "What did I do anyways?"
Inuyasha shook his head and gave a "Feh, you'll never learn." And with that they walked off to their first class.
