DISCLAIMER: all characters from Inuyasha do not belong to me.
We last left off at:
Kagome stared at him, "Fuck you, Sesshoumaru never has anyone been able to tell me what to do and I am not about to let you order me around when I'm here protecting your youkai ass." Kagome walked out of Sesshoumaru office slamming the door with a force that made it fall over.
She was walking away from a case; she was walking way from Sesshoumaru Ataki the first man to ever affect her nerves to the point of quitting an unsolved case.
Sesshoumaru watched her go, she was walking away from his case, away from him, the only woman, the only person, the ever match him in strength and abilities.
Now:
Chapter 9
"Kagome Higurashi get off your ass and open this door right now or I'll blow it open!!" Kagome groaned and simply placed a pillow over her head. It had been three days since she quit the Ataki case and so far she had not come out of her apartment, she hasn't answered phone calls and she refused to see anyone.
The pounding on her door continued until.BOOM.
Kagome's eyes widened, 'they wouldn't, she wouldn't.' Kagome got out of bed and went to her front door or rather what was left of it.
"Miroku! Sango! Oh my God I'm going to kill both of you." Kagome shrieked there right in front of her was her door charred and whatever was left of it was in pieces.
Sango looked at Kagome with narrowed eyes, "If someone had opened the door I would not have taken extreme measures. Kagome, it's been three days what have you been doing?"
Kagome's anger subsided immediately when she realized that her friends had been really worried about her.
"Sango it's nothing, it's just that I've never had to quite a case, Ataki he's such an asshole." Kagome sat down on her couch and pulled her knees up to her chin.
Miroku sat down next to Kagome, "Kags believe me when I say that Ataki really wanted you to rest he didn't want you to be tired or anything. He hadn't meant to make you angry."
Kagome looked at Miroku, then Sango, "Don't tell me both of you think that I'M wrong? Oh God, I can't believe this.he's done nothing but push my buttons!"
"Kagome, if you really think that he is to blame why haven't you come out of your apartment for three days?" Sango hit a sore spot, and she knew it by the way Kagome's eyes flared.
"BECAUSE ...That..THAT DEMON MADE ME QUITE A CASE!!" Kagome fumed.she couldn't believe what she was hearing.
"Kagome Higurashi.you calm down this instant!" Sango commanded Kagome, "I will not have you yelling at me or Miroku for your mistake."
Kagome calmed down, "How's Shippou?" Kagome was exhausted she hadn't slept at all, all she could think of was Rin or Shippou being targeted and she blamed herself if they ever got hurt.
"He's fine," Miroku said, "He's been staying with Rin."
"Kagome there's something we need to tell you, the reason we came here was to.well.you see."
Sango looked down to the floor she didn't want to be the one to tell Kagome the news. Miroku looked at Sango and as if reading her mind spoke up, "What Sango is trying to say is that Inuyasha was attacked and wounded last night."
Kagome looked up at Miroku, 'Nooo, that's not possible he wouldn't allow himself to get hurt.'
"No." Kagome didn't want to believe it, but they wouldn't lie to her.
They all stood silent for about a minute when Kagome finally got up.
"I'm going to get changed, wait here."
She went into her bedroom and picked out a pair of baggy cargo khakis and a combat tank top. She put on her smooth leather jacket on and let her hair fall around her. She rummaged under her bed for her gym shoes and after finally finding them she laced them up.
Kagome grabbed her small pack that contained a special little toy she'd been working on. She went out and they all headed towards their car silently. Kagome followed them in her own car.
They stopped in front of the Ataki residence. Kagome didn't want to think of anything but Inuyasha, he was injured and she felt responsible. She was too hasty in quitting the case over Sesshoumaru that she forgot about Inuyasha.
A servant greeted them at the door and led them inside. Kagome went to Inuyasha room being lead by Sango and Miroku.
They finally reached the door and both Sango and Miroku stepped to the side allowing Kagome to enter the room. She slowly opened the door; there on a bed being helped by a respirator was Inuyasha with his chest in bandages and his hair all around him. She stared at Inuyasha for the longest time not moving from the door frame. She wanted to cry, she wanted to kick herself over and over, but all she could do was stand there.
Kagome, finally, after a long time moved closer to Inuyasha she put her pack down and she placed her hands over his chest. She could feel his heart beat, she could feel his lungs and how they strained for air. She also felt the slow repair they were doing; it seemed he had lost a lot of blood, so he couldn't heal as fast. Kagome's hands remained on his bandaged chest a little longer. Her hands glowed a slight purple.
A figure watched her from the corner intrigued by her display of emotions.
"He's healing," Kagome said in a barely audible whisper. She turned and faced the figure in the corner, his golden eyes fixed with hers.
Kagome and Sesshoumaru stared at each other for what seemed eternity, Kagome however was the first to move. She aimed for the door walking as calmly as possible when Sesshoumaru grabbed her arm and pulled her back. His eyes had narrowed considerably, "I demand you acknowledge my presence wench!"
He expected Kagome to scream back, fight back, he expected a reaction. Instead he got.
.a cold stare. .no narrow eyes. .no physical change what so ever.
Kagome effortlessly took her arm back and walked out the door. Sesshoumaru didn't know what to do, 'Why didn't she fight back?'
He wanted answers, and he was going to get answers.
He raced to get Kagome; in an instant he had her in his arms and in his chambers. The door was locked and she lay in his bed. Kagome looked up at him; inside she was slightly surprised she hadn't felt his adrenalin before.
"What's the matter with you?" He didn't know how else to put it. "You've missed three days of work; I don't expect such reckless behavior from my employees. Kagome's temper was reaching unsafe boiling temperatures.
"Reckless.employee." She hissed through clenched teeth.
"I told you, flat out that I quit."
"And I told you I wouldn't allow it." He resisted smirking.
Kagome began to glow pink, "You insolent dog! How dare you-
Sesshoumaru pushed her back on the bed and held her there tightly, pinning her down with his arms. "How dare I what?" They glared at each other. Neither one of them refusing to let the other win.
Knock! Knock!
"Mr. Ataki, Mr. Inuyasha is awake and moving." Sesshoumaru's eyes flashed with relief for a brief moment, and in that moment Kagome took a chance she kicked Sesshoumaru pushing him off of her. She then proceeded to straighten her clothes.
"I'm not coming back to protect you, I'm coming for Inuyasha and Rin. I don't care if you die." The coldness of Kagome's words and eyes would have made anyone feel fear, anyone except Sesshoumaru Ataki. You see, Sesshoumaru Ataki could also see the relief in her eyes that was hidden behind the coldness, the relief that said she was glad to be back.
Kagome turned on her heels and left. She ran into Sango and Miroku who were just staring at her afraid that she might have killed him silently. Kagome, however, simply smiled and simply said, "I'm back."
~*~*~
Kagome sat in her room looking over every file that Shippou had given her and she still couldn't figure things out.
Naraku and Kikyo are definitely involved somehow, Kira Tomak and George Kio are just perverts who both have a thing for Rin, Eri Fatami doesn't seem to want to hurt Sesshoumaru seeing as he sent a letter of apologies to Sesshoumaru a few days ago claiming that he has finally found true love, and Joshua Tekentai he seems too mysterious.
Kagome was looking through his file carefully, "No marriages, no girlfriends, he DOES have a degree in acupuncture, and he's one of Japan's famous socialites that was born into high society but instead of staying here he went to England. His parents seemed to have known Sesshoumaru's father.It says here that he has several degrees in the science and medical fields. Kagome sat pensively, "I think I'll pay a visit to Tekentai." After having put everything away Kagome headed for the kitchens, she was craving a midnight snack, but she didn't want to wake anyone up so she was being stealthy. Just as she reached the kitchen everyone seemed to be in there, "Hey kags." They all stared at her wondering why she was up.
She got out of her stealthy mode and pranced on over to a stool and smiled, "What are you guys doing up?"
Shippou answered, "We're just having some snacks." Sango and Miroku had decided that since Inuyasha had been attacked they should stay at the house. So now everyone was living under the same roof. Kagome looked to Inuyasha who was munching on a ramen pack, "Are you and Sesshoumaru working tomorrow?"
"Well I'm going to work, but Sesshoumaru is staying home. Why?" Inuyasha didn't even look up, and Kagome didn't answer his question she just said her goodnights and left with a strawberry ice cream cone and another cone filled with mint chocolate chip ice cream.
She walked down the corridor to the dojo where she could here Sesshoumaru training. She opened the door and walked in. "Here." She extended the cone of ice cream towards Sesshoumaru, but he simply stared.
After a long silent pause he asked, "How did you know this is my favorite?"
Kagome shrugged, "It was the only ice cream in the house before Shippou, Sango, Miroku, and I arrived."
She was about to leave when she suddenly stopped, turned around and said, "Goodnight. We have a long day ahead of us tomorrow so be prepared."
She smiled then turned and left, eating the rest of her mint chocolate chip ice cream cone.
OMG I'm so sorry for not having updated sooner, my computer had a virus and I needed to restart the computer so that it would be the way I first bought it. SO that resulted in loss of much info and I couldn't find the disks where the stories were. I'm sorry. Thank you though to everyone that reviewed. Next chapter will be up on January 7th. But please tell me what you think anyway. I want to know who you guys think did it, or is doing it. Kikyo has been eliminated do to well her already being caught, but is Naraku involved????
I don't know, well actually I do but tell me anyways. p.s. I know it seems I brought her back soon after I had her quite but she's unpredictable and Sesshoumaru made her feel really angry so she was meant to seem hasty.
Thank you ~author~
