Hello and welcome back. Sorry it took me so long. My computer has been acting up and it would close Microsoft word and wouldn't give me a chance to save it. Thank goodness I wrote everything down otherwise I would've taken longer. I'm not so sure how I would rate this chapter so please give me your opinion. I have trouble with describing. I'm good with climax but describing kills me. Hopefully you can feel the emotions and really get into the story.

Now I want to get this out in the clearing. I don't hate Kikyo and I know she comes out bad here. It's just that I loved this idea and I love Inuyasha and Kagome together.
It might start off a little slow, I tried to make it like chapter 4 but it came out weird. Oh, sorry for babbling. On with the story. See you after.
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
READ MY FELLOW READERS. READ. BWAHAHAHAH. Sorry.
The night comes to an... end?
"Kagome, are you okay? How could Kikyo say that? And your mother…God, I could've killed Kikyo. No offense, Inuyasha." Sango cursed as she comforted me.
"None taken. How is she?" He asked as he glanced at me through the rear view mirror.
"I'm fine." No, I wasn't fine. I was anything but fine as the horrible occurrence plagued my mind. I snapped out of my thoughts as Inuyasha quickly pulled over on the side of the road. "What the hell happened tonight? What went on there?" He yelled as he turned his head around. I looked at him, jaw dropped.
"How dare you? Don't tell me you're on their side." Sango shot back while holding me like a big sister would.
"I am just asking for it. There are a million taxis and I choose to ride with my sister's fiancée. I AM SO STUPID. To think that you were on our side. You can't be on our side. I really am stupid. I deserve whatever comes at me."
"Hey! I'm not saying that I'm on your side or Kikyo's. " Inuyasha said, taken aback.
"Oh you are so full of it. No wonder you're engaged to my 'lovely' sister. I bet the only reason you offered us a ride was so you can tell Kikyo what we said. You know what? Never mind. I just hope you two live happy lives by making other people's lives miserable. " Tears continued to slide down my cheek. "What the hell? I never cry." I wiped the tears away harshly.
"Kagome, WILL YOU JUST LISTEN?" Inuyasha looked at me angry.
"You are so stubborn. I just need to know who's right."
"What do you care? You won't believe a word I say anyways."
"Maybe you should think for once in your lifetime that it's NOT always about you. God, you are just like your sister." I gaped at him, surprised at his words. It stung me to hear him say such a thing. It felt as if he slapped me clear across the face. He noticed my reaction and realized what he said. "Look, I didn't…" He began but was interrupted by me.
"How could you? You know nothing about me. How can you say that? You don't know what hell I've been through. Damn you Inuyasha. How dare you compare me to her. Come on, Sango."
"Wha.." Sango asked and looked at me confused. I grabbed her arm, opened the door and jumped out, pulling her with me.
"Kagome, what are you doing? Get in the car. Look, I'm sorry I said that. Sango."
"You should observe the people around you before you start comparing. You don't know Kikyo or Kagome. You had no right to say that." Sango snapped.
"It wasn't a big deal." He began.
"Go Inuyasha. Just GO."
I started to walk away, not really knowing where I was headed.
"I'm not leaving you guys out here.." Inuyasha protested.
"Listen brother-in-law, I don't want to burden you with my little childish tantrums. The only thing that matters the most is me, me, ME. Remember? I'm rotten just like my sister. So why don't you just take your little rich corvette on home to the gorgeous wife, YOU IGNORANT JERK!!!" I said poisonously. Glad I inherited that from mother. One good thing.
"Feh, whatever. I don't care because see I am going to my gorgeous fiancée while you sleep out here in the gutter." And with that said, he sped off. I stared disbelieving at the figure disappearing in the night. I sighed, that wasn't suppose to happen. Just when I though this night couldn't get any worse, it started to rain. Sango placed her arm around my shoulder and smiled. "Come on, let's go to a hotel before we catch pneumonia. I think there's one around the corner. You've had a tiring night. I'm exhausted and I was just standing on the side." She laughed as I did.
"And to think this is the first day. We just got here today and look at us, walking in the night, looking for a hotel. Can't wait for tomorrow night." We both laughed at the thought. We laughed even more as the rain began to quicken it's pace.
"Oh Kagome, I've been meaning to ask you, where did you get that eyeliner from? You cried all night and it's raining, and you don't look like a raccoon." She asked amazed.
"Oh, it's waterproof. Extra strength. I had a feeling the night would end in tears."
"No that's how it was during, we're ending the night with laughter."
"From all the drama. I've had enough to last me a lifetime." We walked, more liked power walk, into the hotel's lobby. Sango approached the clerk professionally. She knew how to handle these situations.
"Hello, I want a room for tonight. I want a room with two queen beds, a little refrigerator, a kitchen and I want the sink to be inside the bathroom, not outside. I just hate that and…that's all." She smiled brightly.
I tried to keep a straight face but couldn't help to form a smile.
"The amount comes to, $67. Cash or check?" The clerked asked while smiling a toothy smile.
"Cash." She rummaged thought her purse and let out a yelp.
"What's wrong?" I asked agitatedly.
"My money. I left it in my bag. I never carry money in my purse. Great. What are we going to do now?" Sango bit on her nails, panicked.
" Is there something wrong?" The clerk asked as she mocked a worried expression. The only thing to do was not the wisest choice that came in mind, but we didn't have a choice.
"Of course not. My friend will go ahead and look at the room to see if it is to our satisfactory while I go to my mother's house to get my purse." I answered, mocking her toothy smile.
"Kagome, no! You're not going back there." Sango said as she moved us away from the nosy clerk.
"We don't have a choice."
"You know what they'll do to you. What if he's there?"
"Who? Inuyasha? Let him be there…"
"No, not Inuyasha. Him. What if he tries something?" She interrupted me as she whispered.
"Oh. I don't know. I'll be okay, I'll go through my window. Sango, I don't want to go but we have no choice. We need money and I'll go unseen. The house is only 6 blocks from here. I know, this isn't the first time I ran away." I smirked. "Don't worry. I'll be back as fast as I can." I hugged her as she opened her mouth to protest but I ran out before she changed her mind and mine.
I didn't want to go, oh how I didn't, but we didn't have an option. I ran down the dark street just wishing maybe someone will think I'm a homeless person and give me some money…like about 67 bucks. Possible? No.
I snapped out of my thoughts as I was greeted by the dark house on haunted hill. No, now I wasn't being fair. I would've been better off in the Hill house. I quietly made my way to the tree that led to my window. It was too high. How did I do it when I was younger? I groaned as I began to climb. I let out a squeak as the branches started cracking. Oh god, I'm going to die because of a tree. I survived my family and I can't survive the tree. Funny. I struggled to hold on to the old branches. "Please don't break. Don't fall, don't fall. Don't look down…" as I was assuring myself I stepped on a weak branch and it broke causing me to hang on for dear life. "Okay, okay, I'm okay. Everything's fine. Everything's just great." I stepped on the next branch with great difficulty and moved faster this time. By the time I knew it, I was standing in front of my window. I made it to my window alive. I inched closer and noticed that it was opened. I climbed inside and searched for the light switch in the dark. I stopped dead in my tracks as the light turned on.
"Well, well, well. Hello Kagome. It's been months since I've last seen you."
I stopped breathing and I closed my eyes shut. I knew that voice all too well. The voice from my nightmares. My back was turned to him and I didn't even have to turn around to see if he was real. He was, I could hear him breathing. "Naraku." I whispered in fright.
"I heard of the scene you made earlier today, and in front of Inuyasha too. Poor Kikyo, she was hysterical when I arrived. You need to pay for what you did."
I turned to face him, he was a good 5 feet away from me. I glanced at the door then back at him. He noticed my wandering eyes and his lips formed a twisted smile. "Now Kagome, don't do anything stupid. Kikyo's guests are having a wonderful time and I don't want you ruining it for her. Do you understand me?"
"Too late. Everyone already knows what a whore she is." Wrong answer. Dammit, me and my big mouth. I dashed for the door but Naraku caught me around the waist. "You should now by now that that mouth of yours is what gets you into trouble."
I began to sob as his hand caressed my neck. "Let me go." I spat venomously.
"Can't do that beautiful Kagome, lovely Kagome." His slid his hand under my dress as silent tears ran down my cheeks. My mind went blank, my body stiffened and I stared blankly ahead of me…just as I did that day.
Then as if some miracle, Naraku pushed me away from him as footsteps approached my room. It was none other than…Miroku?
"Hey, here you are Naraku. Kikyo has been asking…Hey, it's you. The girl from the lake." His smile disappeared as he noticed my tear stained cheeks.
"I better go see what she needs." Naraku took one last threatening glance at me, telling me not to say anything or it'll cost my life. He left as I looked down.
"Hey, are…are you okay?" Miroku asked as he put his hand on my shoulder. I jumped and pulled away like a scared cat. "Sorry. I…I'm just a little shaken up, that's all." It wasn't a lie but it wasn't the whole truth either.
"It's alright." He said suspiciously. "Um, what are you doing here? Sorry for asking. I'm just a little confused."
"Inuyasha didn't tell you? Hi, my name is Kagome. Kikyo's half sister, known as the troubled one." I shook his hand as he smiled.
"Of course, I've heard of you, The infamous Kagome. You got quite a reputation. Nice meeting you." He held on to my hand while having a mischievous grin.
"Um, Miroku, can I have my hand back?"
"After I ask you a question."
"Shoot."
"Will you bear my children?" With his free hand he touched my bum. I let out a surprised shriek and reflexively slapped him. "You pervert."
"Just had to ask. Got the same reaction from your sister." He said as he caressed his wounded cheek.
"Don't compare me to her." I gathered the belongings and stopped as I realized I didn't have a ride back.
"Miroku, can I ask you a favor?" I asked hopeful yet scared.
"I knew you'd change your mind." He ran towards me as I placed my hand on his shoulder.
"No, not that. Never that. I need a ride. Can you drive me to the Inn?"
"I'd love to, I mean, sure. Let's…" He trailed off as Naraku came back.
"Oh, you're still here. I need a word with Kagome."
My eyes grew wide at the thought of being alone with Naraku again came in mind. Subconsciously, I squeezed Miroku's shoulder. He seemed to sense my fear and stepped in front of me. "Actually, we were on our way out and…"
"Thank you for understanding. Do we step out or do you?" He said sourly. Miroku sighed in defeat. He squeezed my hand reassuringly and gave me a warm smile. He respectfully bowed and left the room, leaving me alone with the devil himself. Naraku closed the door and locked it, I was trapped.
"What do you want?" I demanded as I backed away."
"Just came to warn you that I heard the rest of tonight's events. You leaving with Inuyasha. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Bad girl. So since you have a witness I can't do anything to you. I don't know why that stops me now since you had one last time, do you remember?" He whispered wickedly. I continued to back away as I noticed he began to slowly walk towards me. He was going to corner me.
"Of course. That was when you learned your lesson. When you learned not to touch me in front of people. When I found out my mother married a MONSTER." He slapped me as my voice got louder. He grabbed my chin roughly forcing my eyes to met his and I could have sworn his eyes flickered red. I let out a small squeak as I bumped into the wall. It was a dead end, my dead end.
"Don't you raise your voice at me. Kikyo is now peacefully with Inuyasha in her room. You know, after hearing tonight's story, I realized that you were attracted to him. It's hilarious, isn't it?" I tore my eyes away from him but he tightened his grip on my chin. He crushed my body as he pushed me harder against the wall, forcing me to look at him. I couldn't say anything to him. My voice box wasn't cooperating and I noticed that I was holding my breath, looking fearfully at his cold, cold eyes.
" It is pathetically sad. You and your little fairytales. How can anyone like him love, no wait that's too funny, let me start over. How can anyone like him have any interest whatsoever in someone like you? Now Kikyo, she is a different story. She is high class and Inuyasha is high class. A perfect match. But you, you are lower than dirt itself. Do you understand me?" It was true. What was I thinking? How can Inuyasha like me? It was absurd. And the way he said it, it felt like knifes went through my heart. I didn't answer him. I wasn't going to give him the pleasure to. I just stared at him blankly. He slammed me against the wall and forced a nod from me.
"And don't you forget it. Don't you forget your place. If you do, I'll be here to remind you." He said acidly. I jumped as a knock was heard at my door. "Kagome, we have to get going." I breathed a sigh of relieve as I heard Miroku's voice. He saved me, I should thank him later.
"I'll get you Kagome. When you least suspect it, I'm going to get you. You'll be all mine, I'll have my way with you. I'll make all your nightmares come true." He whispered into my ear. His voice was menacing and for some odd reason, it gave me courage.
"But then again, I'll wake up, realizing it was only a dream. It won't take much effort to fight back. The only time when you can get me is when I'm asleep. How sad." I sneered and I had a glint in my eye. His warped smile faded and he pushed me harder against the wall that it stopped me from breathing.
"You just wait. I'm going to cut off that tongue so you never talk back to me again." He finally let go after another harsh push and walked toward the door without looking back. He unlocked the door and stepped out after giving Miroku a deceiving smile. I leaned against the wall for support, gathering the rest of my strength. Miroku walked in, eyes concerned.
"Are you okay?" He asked as he walked towards me.
"You don't have to worry about me. You hardly know me." I smiled gently.
"I know but I made you my friend the moment you slapped me." I laughed and realized he wasn't so bad after all.
"Come on, let's go." He picked up my bags and led me out my door, down the stairs and out of the eerie silence of the living room. I was out of the house…for now anyway. We got in the car and drove away from that twisted house. I left that house in one piece the second time that day. I couldn't help but laugh as I got away from death's grasp once again, laugh out of insanity. Miroku turned to me with a smile as well.
"What's so funny?"
"Oh nothing. Thank you for giving me a ride. I'll introduce you to my friend. Her name is…"
"HER??!!" He interrupted excitedly.
"Yeah, a her." I answered confused.
"Kagome, I have a feeling we are going to be the best of friends. So what's her name?" He asked, with a huge grin might I add, as he glanced at me from the corner of his eye.
"Her name is…"
"Well, out with it. What is it?" He asked impatiently.
"Well, if you would let me talk maybe I'll tell you. Her name is Sango. There. Thank you for not cutting me of…"
"Sango. What a beautiful name. Can't wait meet her." He chirped happily as he interrupted me once again.
"Let me warn you now, she's a little more violent than I am."
"Dear Kagome, you insult me. Besides, she will not be able to resist my charm." He said as a
matter-of-factly.
"AHHH. HENTAI!!!!" Sango fumed as she flipped him over her shoulder, sending him crashing hard on the cold tile floor.
"A little more violent?" Miroku asked roughly. I laughed as I bent down next to him and smiled.
"Couldn't resist, huh?"
For some reason, I felt like I already knew the guy. He could be a rapist or a serial killer and I still trusted him. This was going to be a beginning for a new adventure, I could feel it in the bottom in my stomach.
The only thing that I didn't know was how dangerous this adventure was going to be.
Well, there you have it. I'm not so proud of it as I was for chapter four. I assure you now the future chapters are going to be like chapter 4, maybe even better. It'll get your adrenaline going. But I won't tell you which ones, It'll be a surprise. Hope you enjoyed it. Read and review. Thank you for reading chapter 5. Please come back.
