Last Time:
"You are all staying in the Morisato Mansion."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"You will stay in InuYasha's room until he comes out and eats! Those were the orders Sesshomaru told me to give you."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
~I hope you can snap him out of it… Before this situation gets worse.~
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Lady Sakura sighed. So much for keeping the door on its hinges.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
His claws were overgrown, and he had scratch marks on his wrists. Kagome felt tears leave her eyes.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
~*On with it, yes? *Rabid squirrels watching intently…* Oh yes, this is dedicated to the um… SQUIRRELS!
"Get out. You're not Kagome!"
A sharp slap rang out through the hallways, accompanied by the growling of a familiar hanyou. Everybody sighed and kept drinking their tea. Sesshomaru casually walked in, took his tea, and re-exited. Rin quickly jumped up and ran after him. Obviously they weren't going to be seen for quite a while. They rearranged themselves into the silence that loomed over them like a threatening spirit.
….
Kagome slapped him. Her hand felt warm and her hand print was clearly etched onto InuYasha's face. She was so furiously angry, so frustrated. How could she not be who she was?! Had he been away from civilization so long that he had made up his own philosophical ideals?
"I am who I am and I happen to be Ka-Go-Me!"
"Fuck you! If you were Kagome, then why are you here?!"
"Because! This is my hometown and because everybody is tired of being worried sick about you. You and your self pity is driving everybody to madness!"
He looked up at her. He stood up, stumbling slightly. He felt so weak. ~Being shut in here for about a year without food is making me weak… I wonder when death will take me upon it's silent journey to it's home…~ He stumbled towards her and he lost footing and ended up on top of her, knocking the air out Kagome.
"Oomph! I-InuYasha… You are heavy!"
InuYasha's thoughts started to fall into place. ~There is a warm body beneath me… She IS real!~
*A/N Alert the squirrels… InuYasha has found out Kagome is REAL. Lmao!
"You're fucking real!"
"No shit Sherlock! You're still on top-"
Kagome's words were drowned out as InuYasha launched himself into giving her a shower of kisses, one that particularly left her breathless. Lips upon lips, his descent towards her neckline… She could only sigh in pleasure. For once she didn't want to think. Her thoughts were all jumbled up, blank in shock.
"I… I missed you so much… You goddamned bitch… You went and left me…"
"H-How was I supposed to know you f-felt this way about m-me?"
He slowly made his way back to her lips and left her breathless once more.
"So many questions. I didn't know how to tell you, you just made it so hard on me…"
Kagome's eyes widened and she used the floor as leverage and flipped him over. She looked down into his golden eyes and narrowed her own grey ones.
"Me?! What did I do?"
"You started talking about how much of a jerk I was and how much you…"
~How much I hated you…H-How could I have said that…?~
.::FB::.
"I don't want this jerk inside of me anymore than I wanted him near me before.".::FB::.
~I might as well have told him I hated him… It would've been the same thing…~
Kagome slumped forward onto him. His chest rose and fell beneath her, she could hear his faint heartbeat. He needed to eat, nourish himself. His skin was deathly pale and he was extremely cold.
"Miroku, bring me some Ramen.'
Miroku's eyes widened.
"How did you know I was here?"
Miroku appeared in the hallway, frowning slightly. When he didn't get an answer he walked off in search of the Ramen.
Exactly seven minutes later he walked in with a steaming bowl of Ramen. Kagome got up and graciously took it from his hands. She dipped in the spoon and ate it happily.
"For you?! And here I thought it was for him."
"Nope. He won't eat. He's going to watch me eat. You want some Miroku?"
Miroku started to catch on, and looked to see InuYasha sit up. Miroku quickly nodded his head at Kagome, wanting some of that Ramen. Kagome giggled and fed him. Each time she would make cute babying noises, Miroku was very into it. He felt VERY special. Kagome placed a noodle in her mouth and gave Miroku the other end. It was quite long, but when they were inches from finishing and touching lips to lips an angry hand shoved them apart.
"What the- InuYasha?"
Miroku stared at InuYasha bewildered. Then it hit him full force. ~InuYasha has been like this because Kagome wasn't here. Kagome is his mate after all!~
Miroku quickly surmised it all and got up, while dusting himself off slightly. Kagome giggled at Miroku's dawn of comprehension. All along he had been clueless, not totally, about the whole situation. It was truly something.
"Don't you EVER touch MY mate again! Do you hear me?!"
Miroku looked into InuYasha's angry eyes. Then he did the last thing he should've done, he spoke back.
"Well, I wouldn't be touching your mate if she didn't want some attention. Obviously her mate isn't doing his job at keeping her happy. Maybe I should fill that sp-"
He was held a few feet from the floor by his throat. Kagome gasped and could only gape at the scene before her. InuYasha's mother found herself in her son's bedroom and witnessed it all. ~I guess he isn't as weak as I thought…~ She saw Kagome's face filled with terror, and her son's best friend being suspended in air.
Kagome got up on shaky legs and made her way over to InuYasha. ~If he has to keep me happy, then he has to keep me safe. And if I'm afraid he has to help me relax… I sure hope this works!~
She walked up InuYasha from behind and wrapped her arms around his waist.
"I-I'm afraid InuYasha… D-Don't kill him…"
InuYasha heard her voice and his grip lessened. It al happened in a flash. His youkai instincts kicking in, not fully though. They were saying to him wisely 'make your mate relax… It's not healthy for her to be afraid, do what it is she wants you to do…' For once, he listened. He whirled around and took her in his arms. Kagome got the drift and looked up into Sakura's hopeful eyes.
"InuYasha… Eat."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
After about twenty bowls of Ramen later, InuYasha had regained his energy completely. Kagome was gaping at InuYasha's speed. It wasn't possible to eat so much and not have SOME problems, right? Obviously InuYasha was the exception. Miroku had left, disgusted, and Sakura had left along with him wanting to tell her dear son Sesshomaru about InuYasha's recovery. Kagome was the only one that stayed. Why? Because everytime she stood up InuYasha would growl and she would sit down. It was getting rather annoying.
"I don't care if you growl your heart out!"
She stood up defiantly and sure enough InuYasha started growling at her. She ignored him and walked out of the kitchen. She winced when she heard all of the plates shatter on the tiled floor and she didn't have time to run. His arms were around her waist and she was backed up against his body. She gasped at the sudden impact. Her heart was racing against time for an unknown reason.
"I-InuYasha?"
"My fucking mate is not going to run from me. Listen and listen well, Kagome."
"P-Please let me go InuYasha…"
"Why should I?"
He abruptly nuzzled her neck, trying to coax her into relaxing, into agreeing with him. Kagome stiffened, things were going way too fast. She didn't even really know the guy behind her. He didn't know her. She pried his arms from her waist.
"Y-You don't know me," she said looking down sadly, "and I don't know you."
"I love you, damnit! That's all I need to know!"
"No, no it's not. There's more you need to know. Realize that the world has colors, just as people do. I'm not just black and white… When you know who I truly am, then… Then you can truly say that you love me."
Kagome looked back at his bewildered face. She smiled weakly and walked away from him.
~What in the seven hells just happened? D-Did she just leave me?~
*Consults the squirrels…*
*A/N I should just leave it there you know… But um… eheh… The squirrels said no…*
Kagome's tears started to create numerous paths down her cheeks. She ran past Sango, whom was truly baffled by Kagome's behavior. ~I bet InuYasha is already feeling better… Making Kagome cry again.~
Kagome kept running until she collided with a rock hard chest. She crumpled to the floor, unable to keep going. All of the emotions sweeping through her were too much. Everything was a mess and her thoughts were scattered. Why was she leaving InuYasha if she loved him so much? Was it him? It had to be… Ever since he had been so close to… so close… She shuddered incontrollably, remembering her little three year old brother busting in, behind him her grandfather and her mother.
.::FB::.
"Who are you? What are you doing to my daughter?! Get out! Get out you inhumane beast!"He growled, leaving his job unfinished. He hadn't raped her, as he had set out to do. Instead he had shocked the small, innocent girl. He quickly made his way out, past the crying bodies of the girl's family. At least they had forgotten that they should've called the police first thing. He laughed maniacly as he left the Higurashi mansion.
.::FB::.
~He was so close… He was taunting me… He told me he'd kill whoever I fell in love with… H-He killed… Ray… He was my best friend! H-How could he…?!~
Kagome started screaming out in agony. Why was everything so overwhelming?! Why could she not live a normal life, fall in love, have a family, without danger lurking around the darkest of corners in the form of a man? The form of a sick, twisted man that seemed to take joy out of seeing blood run…
.::FB::.
"Stand still! You goddamned bitch! I told you, you're mine to do with as I please!"
She bit her lip in an attempt to keep out the pain of the sharp blade slowly making it's way across her stomach."I told you… I own you… There is nothing you can do about it. The rest of your pathetic life you will remember me…"
.::FB::.
She felt two strong arms lift her and cool air met her skin. She couldn't open her eyes, the exhaustion was too much. She fell asleep after the car engine started up.
"Yeah, boss? I got her back…"
~*That's what you get for threatening me you evil squirrels you!*~
~**I don't own Inu & Co. so don't sue! And don't throw acorns and other pointy objects at the authoress!**~
