Chapter 9- Not Again
I continued punching the top of the coffin until dirt fell on me and I started to scratch at the dirt. I'd say it took me around three hours to dig my way out of my grave. I climbed out and got to my feel which hurt like hell. I held my arm in pain as I limped to the road. There was a car coming so I stopped which was a mistake on my part because once I did I fell. The car stopped and the driver got out running towards me.
" Kagome, Kagome, you can't black out on me alright," I heard someone say, it sounded like Sesshomaru.
" Sess," I stated as he picked me up. There was a cut on my arm and puncture wounds on my neck where he had bitten me once again. He took me to the car and put me in the backseat handing me to Inu Yasha.
" W-what happened to her?" he questioned examining me. I had a large gash on my arm and a cut over my eyebrow where Naraku had hit me with the gun. My knuckles were all bloody and cut up from when I clawed out of the grave and my eyes were emotionless, no life in them whatsoever.
" I'm guessing Naraku chased her down to here until he gave up," Sesshomaru explained starting the car. He drove off towards my apartment. My shirt was slightly lifted in the back revieling my angel tattoo.
" What is this?" Sango questioned as Miroku looked. He quickly lowered my shirt and shook his head.
" She will tell you when the time comes," he stated dropping the matter. I sat in Inu Yasha's lap no saying a word as he held me close to him. I couldn't help but feel betrayed by him. I mean, come on, who wouldn't if you caught your lover swapping spit with your mortal foe? Once we got to the apartment Inu Yasha rushed me inside, most of my wounds were already healed, all but my knuckles.
" Do you think someone should stay with her tonight? Where is her brother?" Inu Yasha questioned.
" Her brother is an assassin, he won't be home tonight," Sesshomaru stated walking to the door, " I think you should leave her alone tonight."
He nodded and everyone left leaving me to myself. I took a shower and put on a pair of black pants and a white tank top as I made some hot coco and sat in the livingroom. I sat on the couch with the cup in my hands not really paying attention as I stared at the wall in front of me.
" Well, if it isn't little miss immortal," I heard someone taunt as they walked out of the shadows. It was Spike, my old Vampire friend from long ago, I had heard he had become soft and was hanging out with Buffy, " is that any way to treat a friend?" he questioned walking up to me. He looked down at my hands and then took them in his, " I know these kind of wounds, they are the most painful of all, but the pain inside is unbarable."
I said nothing as he lifted my head to meet his eyes.
" Someone like you should never have to witness these kind of wounds," he stated as someone burst through the door.
" Spike, get the fuck away from her!" I heard Inu Yasha yell pouncing at him.
" I'm the only one who understands what she is going through so shut up. Have you ever been buried alive?" he questioned.
" No but that has nothing to do with Kagome," he shot back looking at me.
" And how per se do you think she got those wounds on her hands? They didn't just come about over night!" Spike snapped causing Inu Yasha to gasp.
" What are you saying?" he questioned walking up to me. He looked in my eye's but found nothing as he placed a hand on my shoulder. He was instantly shot back.
*****************Flashback*************************
" Daddy!" I yelled hugging his leg.
" My little Kagome, how are you today?" he questioned ruffling my hair as I smiled up at him.
" My day was the best ever daddy! Mommy taught me a new song!" I exclaimed as he bent down and picked me up.
" You have to sing it to me later, but first I have to give you something. Happy tenth birthday Kagome," he said placing a small jewel around my neck, " protect it always, when I can't be here to protect you it will."
" I'll cherish it always!" I said trowing my arms around his neck, " I love you daddy!"
* You won't love me after what I have done baby, I assure you that," he thought taking me inside.
*******************5 years later**********************
" Mom, when is dad going to be home tonight?" I questioned strapping a sword to my waist and a bow to my back.
" I think he is pulling an all nighter again baby, please try to be careful tonight while patroling alright?" my mother said kissing my forehead.
" Like that would ever happen but I promise," I grinned walking out the door. I went to the graveyard and dusted some Vampires until I came upon one with dark wavy hair and red eyes. He seemed to be in deep conversation with someone or something. I hide behind a tree and looked around the other side to see my father.
" Daddy?" I whispered as I heard what they were talking about.
" You promised your daughter at the proper age for marriage and now your trying to get out of it, surely you know the price is your life for this Higurashi," Naraku spat as my father stepped back.
" I know I promised my daughter at the proper age but she is still so young, please wait until she is 18," he pleaded.
" Fine, this Naraku can wait for his prize, but if you try anything to keep her away from me a swear you will be dead before you knew what hit you," he growled walking away.
" I know Naraku," he stated with a smirk as he walked away, " she is as good as yours."
I fell to my knees when I heard this. How could he just sell me off like some piece of property? Did I not matter to him at all?
" Damn you, you are not my father," I growled running away from the sight with tears streaming down my face. I ran into something hard and waited for the impact of the ground but it never came. I looked up into the eye's of my savior.
" W-who are you?" I questioned.
" Sesshomaru, the lord of the west," he stated as I stood up.
" I'm truly sorry for not watching where I was going, Sesshomaru-sama, I was being careless. I'm am but a lowly human," I stated.
" All is forgiven, slayer," he said walking off, " and an Immortal should not call themselves lowly, clearly they are royality in my book."
" Immortal?" I questioned walking off.
***************** End Flashback***************
Inu Yasha cursed as he stood to his feet. He had been on the ground for awhile trying to understand the images that replayed in his head. He turnd to me to find that I haddened canged at all.
" Were those your memories? Of meeting my brother?" he questioned walking up to me again. I said nothing as he touched me again. He felt the power again but didn't given to it and held my shoulder tighter, " tell me."
" Yes," was all I said as he kneeled down in front of me, " but that wasn't the point in the flashback."
" I don't think I caught the point," he said as someone appeared behind him.
" It means that she is over 500 years old little brother, when I was still the Demon Lord of the west. Surely that was the point in the flashback," he stated and I shook my head.
" They may have been a point but not the one I wanted pointed out," I stated closing my eyes.
" The point was about how your father is a bastard, we all know this," Spike stated sitting down by the wall.
" The point was to make you understand my connection to Naraku," I stated looking away placing my head in my hands, " I'm his fiance."
" Fiance?" Inu Yasha chocked out.
" He's been chasing me for 500 years, my father was in debt and he didn't have the money to pay it off so he offered me to him with a hand in marriage. I have been running ever since I was 18 when he turned me into a vampire," I stated standing up, " I'm going for a walk, don't bother to follow."
" No," Inu Yasha said grabbing my wrist pulling me into an embrace, " your not going out there alone and I'm not going to let Naraku get you. I'm not going to let you marry him, I'm not going to let him..."
" Your not going to let him what? Inu Yasha! Go home to your dead bitch and leave me the fuck alone!" I screamed running out of the apartment building to the near by ocean. I sat down by on the drop off with my legs drapping over the side as I cried.
" Well, if it isn't the little freak," I heard someone mock from behind me, I didn't even bother to turn around.
" Shut up Kikyou, you won okay? You won Inu Yasha back and there's nothing I can do about it," I stated standing up.
" You really think Naraku found you by himself? You give him that much credit?" she laughed as I turned and glared at her.
" You! You told Naraku where I was!" I growled getting into a fight stance as I saw Inu Yasha run up.
" Oh come on, do you think I wouldn't? Tell me, do you really think I will sit back and watch you steal my baby away from me?" she sneered charging me. I knew Inu Yasha was there so I didn't bother to block the attack.
" Kagome!" he yelled as I fell off the end of the drop off.
" Inu-baby!" Kikyou exclaimed throwing her arms around his neck as he brushed her off.
" Get out of my sight," he spat slapping her out of the way as he took off his shirt and jumped into the water after me. Once he hit the freezing water he swam to where my form was and grabbed me. He swiftly grabbed me and jumped out of the water onto level land, " Kagome?"
I made a soft noise and rolled over to my side spitting up water.
" Never drink salt water," I stated as someone tackled me.
" Don't do that," it cried as I looked down to see Inu Yasha's head on my gut with his arms wrapped around me with a death grip. I was stunned to see him but quickly placed my hand on his head and rubbed his hair. One of my fingers stroked his ear and I heard him pur.
" Since when did you become a cat?" I questioned with a laugh massaging his ears as he turned over in my hold.
" If you were anyone else I just want you to know you wouldn't have hands right now," he stated sleepily as I removed my hands.
" Then I won't for the sake of my hands," I giggled nudging him as he looked up at me with saddness in his eyes.
" I'm so sorry, I betrayed you. I promised myself that I would never hurt you like anyone has but I only caused you gried and sorrow, I can't even forgive myself," he said looking at the ground as he sat up. I kneeled down and buried my head in his long silver hair placing my arms around his shoulders.
" Don't say that. You thought me what love was, for 500 years I was wondering around like something was missing, when I met you everything changed. I didn't care about myself anymore, I cared about you," I whispered as we both stood up. He turned to me and looked down at me. He placed his forehead on mine and smiled.
" Don't leave me again, I don't know what I would do," he whispered trapping my mouth in a hot sensational kiss. I wrapped my hands around his neck as tears fell from my eyes as he held me tight against his body. When he pulled apart I missed his taste but didn't complain about it.
" You have no shirt on," I stated worriedly as he placed an arm around my shoulder.
" Your no better than I am, and you might want to put something over that white tank top, I'm getting a nice veiw from up here," he laughed as I placed a hand over my chest.
" Shut up," I stated as we walked back to my apratment to find nobody there.
" I'll get you a change of clothes," I said walking into my brothers room. I grapped a pair of balck sweatpants and a black shirt to go with it as I threw them to him. I quickly changed into a pair of black pants and a button up black colar shirt as I went and laid on the couch turning the TV on as Inu Yasha walked out. He walked up to me and laid down behind me wrapping his arms around my middle pulling me towards him. He kissed my neck where Naraku had bite me and held back a growl as he nibbled on my ear, " behave yourslef, my brother will be home in the morning."
" Aw, your no fun," he whined as I turned on ' Final Fantasy 7- Advent Children ( I know it's not out yet but it just looks awsome cuz I love FF games!) I placed my head on his chest as we watched the movie without intruptions. At the endI turned the TV off and fell asleep in his arms. I woke up before the sun and laid in Inu Yasha's embrace as I looked out the window. The sun slowly made it's way into the room starting at my feet. As it worked it's way up I could feel my body start to tinkle as it hit my fingertips.
" Shit," I yelled jumping out of the protective hold on me running to the dark corner in the apartment.
" Kagome," Inu Yasha said walking up to me, " what's wrong?"
" Not again," I whispered placing my hands over my head. Inu Yasha looked at the burn marks on my hands and leaned down hugging me.
" We'll get him for this," he whispered kissing my forehead.
" Keep the sun off of me," I whispered in a pleading tone of voice. He picked me up bridal style and took me to the bathroom which was the only room without a window.
" Stay here, I'm going to call Miroku," he stated walking away. He returned moments later with a wet washcloth and placed it on my hands.
" You don't have to stay," I stated taking the cloth from him. He sat down next to me and drapped an arm over my shoulder as he pulled me against him.
" But I want to Kagome, you need me now more than ever ( make me smile... sorry... back to the story)," he said as he cleaned my burns.
" Why?" I questioned in a whisper as he looked at me.
" Stupid question I'm not even going to bother to answer," he said looking me in the eye as the doorbell rang, " stay here."
" Alright," I said as he left and returned shortly with Miroku with the ring. Inu Yasha placed it on my finger and helped me stand up.
" You okay?" he questioned helping me out of the bathroom to the living room.
" I'll be alright," I whispered leaning back against the couch as I sat on the floor. Miroku squated down in front of me and smirked.
" Together again, just like the old days," he said as I slapped him.
" Shut up and leave me alone, don't you have class today?" I questioned as he looked at the clock and then ran out of the house. Once out I started cracking up because today was Saturday and school was close, but he was stupid enough to believe me. Inu Yasha sat next to me wrapping his arm around my shoulder turning the TV on as I took his hand in mine and entwined our fingers.
" Looks like I have to get to know you all over again," he said looking down at me as I placed my head on his shoulder.
" And I you," I said looking up at him as he captured my lips in an open mouth kissed. He pulled away a second later and pulled me into his lap placeing his arms around my middle.
" Let's talk," he said as I smiled.
" Yes, lets," I said relaxing into his hold.
Chapter 9 is done ! Yeah! Wow, that took awhile to finish * wipes sweat from brow* So tired... please read and review. Tell me if I am boring the heck outta you alright?? Tiff
