Fatherly Love
~* Yes. I know. I don't update as often as you want me to. But do realize that I am 15 and in Honors classes and therefore have more work and am expected to a lot more work. My life doesn't revolve around this story, only part of it does. Aahahha! Enjoy.*~
Last Time:
"Kagome-"
"NO! GET OUT! You have no right to be here," she spat at him.

"Tsk tsk tsk. Show her to her room boys. I'm sure she'll want to see her accomodations for the rest of her long life. Because it will be long darling, by my side you won't die. You'll live for much longer than you think."
*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*
"Oh how great the sounds of a woman crying out in pain. Those were they days… These are the days. The present. The oh so wonderful present. Come in here Bikuru, what news of mommy dearest?"
"Mommy dearest is dying as was planned my lord."

Soul snatching was such a great power to be inherited. It worked wonders.

InuYasha drove at an incredible speed with no true destination. He was blinded with fury, and most of all sorrow. Everything had been at the peak of happiness for him, all to come tumbling down as soon as an obstacle appeared. ~Did she love me in the first place? Where all her words lies coming from double-headed snake with a tongue that was able to persuade me to believe her words?~ He floored the gas pedal and went increasingly faster. The music was blaring in his sensitive ears, yet he felt no pain. The pain in his heart was much greater than that of a physical pain.
The windows were down and the wind was toying with his hair mercilessly. His eyes were wide open with dried tears and tinted red. All in all he had recovered most of his old rough appearance. He was slowly turning back into the dangerous InuYasha, the one everybody feared. He spotted something white off in the distance. It wasn't bright enough to be headlights, which he would've doubted since he was deep into the country now, and as he got closer and closer he noticed it was a woman. ~Is that bitch crazy?! Isn't she going to move?!~ In the end his humanity took the best of him and he skidded to a stop before the ludicrous woman that had been standing in his path. She still stood there. She was pale and the white dress made no real contrast with her skin. The creamy white looked soft to the touch and when he reached out to her he felt as if he was being shocked. ~Damn. It's the whole mate thing…~
"Excuse me lady but you need to get off of the damn road. You're going to get run over if not by me then by some other crazy lunatic! Now stop being so goddamn quiet and move it!"
He walked back to his car in a huff and looked around to notice there was no other car on the lonely country road. Had somebody left that woman there by herself for no true reason? ~She was probably blabbing as most females do and her boyfriend finally kicked her to the curve!~ He got into the driver's seat and closed the door. As soon as he turned he noticed the woman was in the passenger seat.
"What the fuck? Who told you that you could get on my ride?!"
The woman silently looked at him, eerily chewing a piece of gum, and pointed a gun at him.
"Drive."
InuYasha's eyes widened and he momentarily forgot about his anger towards Kagome. He put the car in gear and pressed the gas pedal slightly so that they were going at normal speed, about 40 miles per hour. The woman slightly raised her eyebrows, the only emotion InuYasha had seen on her, and she turned towards him. He silently shivered as he felt her cold eyes on his skin.
"Drive faster."
"Where to? I ain't telepathic so I don't know where the fuck we're going."
"Where the moon meets its twin."
"What the hell? I ain't good at those damn riddle things!"
InuYasha pressed the gas pedal harder and they were riding at about 100 mph now. The road seemed to stretch endlessly into the horizon and InuYasha was getting impatient. He wanted to throw the creepy female out of his car, not only because she was creepy but because his instincts were screaming at him to throw her out. He growled silently and screeched to a stop.
"Look lady. I don't know what the fuck your problem is, but I can't have you in my car. I can't stand your presence!"
"I know. But it's only five more minutes worth a wait. So hold it in and drive."
Once again she reinforced her point by pointing the gun at his head. He growled and resumed his crazy driving. Pretty soon they reached what looked like a beach. The sun was starting to rise and the moon setting. The moon cast its reflection in the sea and he figured out what the lady had meant. She pointed silently towards an old worn out path that seemed deserted. He drove on it and his car was unsteady as it passed over various rocks. Pretty soon the road evened out and it became concrete instead of dangerous jagged rocks. He picked up speed on the pavement and they reached their destination. A not so shabby cabin loomed ahead in the distance. It was covered by large oak trees and the sort. A small girl was tending to a garden, but as soon as she spied the car she ran back inside. He skid to a stop sending torrents of sand off the ground. He silently waited in the car for the sand to reoccupy its place on the ground before getting off. The woman followed suit and as soon as they were out of the car she pointed the gun at him and pointed towards the house. He walked, curious as to where he was and why he was being taken to this particular home. ~I know I've seen this place before…~
Inside everything was neat and high tech, a complete change from the outside appearance. He watched as the woman joined some men that were at computers working out programs at incredible speeds. Footsteps resounded on the floor above his head and everybody stopped what they were doing and stood up to greet whomever was arriving. The commanding presence of a man in a black suit had InuYasha frozen with shock.
"Hello son, long time ne?"

Kagome was shivering in a corner. Her face was a stark pale color that would put a white dove to shame and seem dirty. Her hair was damp with sweat and who knows what else from the disgusting cell. She doubled over and vomited again as she saw a rat running with a human finger from one hole to another. There was a sharp knock on the floor and a plate was shoved inside through what seemed to be a doggy door.
"Eat it quick, the rats are hungry too."
Advice that came a bit too late. As soon as she started to move the walls started to shake as they did before. She managed to squeak a bit before her voice when horse and the mountains of rats started pouring out throughout various holes in the walls. To her luck she was against a wall and one of the disgusting creatures landed on her chest. She screamed out in fear as it wriggled through her shirt and ran out from under her skirt. She cried, the tears resuming their seemingly endless flow from her eyes to the vile floor.
The door suddenly burst open and ricocheted off the black wall. The rats screamed in agony and quickly made their ways back to the darkness of their holes. A man roughly shoved her out, and blinded as she was by the light, she stumbled and fell. Her knees were raw from the ground and the rat's knawings. Her nails were longer than usual and she noticed her skin was not a natural color. The man once again picked her up by the arm and dragged her down a brightly lit hallway. They reached a set of doors that looked vaguely familiar to her, but then she could hardly remember her name. Had she been born in that awful place, among rats and vile substances on the floor?
She was shoved past a throne that looked awfully familiar but she didn't get to see it too well before she was shoved into another room.
"Bathe and get dressed. The lord will be awaiting your presence in an hour."
Kagome stared at him, almost not comprehending. He snapped at her harshly and told her to get a move on. She scrambled into a bathroom and stripped down to nothing. She didn't have much on and what was left of her clothing was in tatters… Barely concealing her female body.
After struggling with the water because of her wounds and the soap she had treated her wounds with alcohol and bandaged them as best as she could. She walked out of the bathroom and into the bedroom. On the bed there was a Victorian dress. It was of a fine red silk that seemed extremely expensive. She fingered it lightly before proceeding to take a seat in front of a mirror. She gasped at her appearance. It was her, but much paler, almost dead. Scratches were on her face, but none left scars. She carefully brushed her hair with a set of combs and brushes that had been set on the countertop. Soon enough her hair was soft and silky and free of the tangles that had her looking like the shaggy hobo she saw in the streets of Tokyo. Her memory slowly returned to her, but not completely. She put on the dress and picked up her hair into a ponytail. Strands of hair made their way loose and framed her face.
She walked out of the room and was escorted by four men, two in front of her and two behind her. They led her to a large room that was only occupied by a lone stereo. A man suddenly appeared out of nowhere and offered her a drink.
"Chardonay my dear?"
She took the glass hesitantly, not knowing who he was. She only felt extremely afraid and a deep sense of loathing. She drank the glass and made a bitter face as the liquid made its descent into her system.
"Finish it my dear, it's not good to waste such tasteful wine."
She drank up most of it and set gave it back to him.
"No more? Ah well, I guess that will do."
Kagome looked at him and then tried to settle her wandering vision. Pretty soon the room was dancing around her. She managed a weak laugh before falling into the arms of one of the guards. Derrick quickly took her up and in a voice full of mock worry he said,
"Oh my dear. I think you drank a bit too much!"
He laughed maniacly as one of his loyal servants pressed the play button on the CD player. He twirled her limp body around the ball floor. Seeing his guards standing there stoicly he quickly ordered them to dance. They quickly joined him dancing with each other, whispering to each other of how strange their boss was. The dance ended rather abruptly as the lights dimmed and turned off completely. The torches were lit and Derrick growled.
"Damnit all."
He handed Kagome roughly towards one of the guards.
"Keep her in the new room and DON'T touch her!"
He left furiously to find out what the problem was with the lights. A woman stepped out from the shadows and took Kagome from the guard's arms.
"I'll take it from here. You guys take a break."
"Yes madame."
The guards quickly left the woman with Kagome alone. The female sneered at Kagome and took her back to her room.
"So you're Derrick's newest obsession?"
~* I do NOT know. But I don't own InuYasha… *~
