Chapter Three
Thunder shook the surrounding area as the storm continued. Lightening flashed across the sky. Kagome still lay on the floor, in a light sleep. Her eyes opened slowly adjusting to light of the room. She looked around confused at the room. Glass shards still cut deep in her foot and the pain of it all was unbearable. She couldn't take it anymore. Even with her body so weak she forced herself to sit up and pick the glass from her foot. It was hard for her not scream out with all the pain it caused her. The last piece finally came out as more blood dripped from her foot.
The back door made a clicking a noise and flew open. Inuyasha standing in the entrance. Instantly his eyes went to the blood the floor that fled out of Kagome's foot. He rushed over to her side, almost slipping on the bits and pieces still smashed on the floor. "What happened?" he asked trying to examine the cuts made in her foot. Kagome swung her arms around his neck and jumbling all her words trying hard to explain everything that happened in one breath. Inuyasha let go of her slowly. "Okay now repeat that, but slower," he said jokingly. "After you had left I went back here to have dinner. I thought everything would go okay until Kouga asked me who was in the forest. When I didn't tell him he slapped me," Kagome said pulling Inuyasha back down in a sitting position while he tried to get up. "One of the butlers helped me though and held him back. After they had shut the doors I had heard him say to one of the guards that he wanted you dead and the guard agreed." She sucked back all her tears to finish the rest of the story, Inuyasha expressionless. "So that's when I came up here and apparently destroyed the room," she continued looking around the room. "I took everything I could and threw it the walls and smashed the mirror. That's how I got those," she explained pointing to the deep gashes in her foot. Inuyasha sat there taking in all the information, thinking very deep and hard about everything. He picked up her foot once more and placed his finger gently on one of the cuts. Kagome accidentally let out a yelp of pain, regretting it once it had been to late. She pulled Inuyasha up and rushed him over to her closet, locking the door shut just in time.
Once again the door swung open this time the front entrance from the hallway. Kouga's face lit up as the lightening lit up the hall from the skylight. "Darling everything all right in here? I heard a scream," he said proceeding into the room. Kagome hid her feet, letting no one else see the deep scratches. "Oh it was nothing. I just thought I saw a spider that's all. I guess I was wrong" Kagome said looking around the room. Kouga looked strangely at her and then left the room, closing the door behind him. Kagome ran to the closet door, unlocking it fast.
Inuyasha sat on the floor holding up a white shirt in front of his chest. "This mine," he said looking up at her. Kagome shut the closet door closing out her laughter. She giggled softly into his ear as she clung to him. "What am I going to do without you Inu?" she asked him quietly. He rubbed her back gently and whispered, "Your not going to be without me." Kagome held on tighter moving her face closer to his. He grabbed her face, pulled it closer and lightly kissed her, leading into a much larger one. The maid's footsteps sounded from a distance down the hall. Kagome opened the door pulling Inuyasha up with her and into the room. One of the maids knocked on the door. "Kagome? Are you in there?" a familiar voice whispered. Inuyasha ran and opened the back door. "What are you doing?" Kagome mouthed to him. He ran to her side and whispered in her ear, "Don't worry I promise you, you won't be without me." As soon as he was on the back porch she mouthed "How". Another knock sounded on the door. Inuyasha turned around again, facing her. "Look in the closet," he whispered running off the back porch and down the beach side.
Before someone could knock again Kagome opened the door. Sango stood in the doorway her brown hair pulled up in her usual ponytail and dressed in a maid's uniform. "Took you long enough. What the heck were you doing?" Sango asked her stepping into the room. Kagome locked the door and turned around. "What are you doing here?" she asked Sango who now was staring at the destroyed room. "The better question is what happened in here?" Sango said picking the wood chunks and dropping them on the floor and rushing over to the bloodstains. Kagome went over and sat on the ground next to her explaining the whole thing over again, adding in the details of Inuyasha coming and having to hide him in the closet. "Okay, now why are you here?" Kagome asked once she had finished saying everything needed to be said. "Well actually Inuyasha had talked to me last night. He was worried something was wrong with you so he told me to come here in case something was wrong. Apparently he got here before I did," she said recalling what Kagome had said. "Sango, he wants to kill Inu. Kouga wants to kill him," she said through her own tears. Sango gave Kagome a hug and said reassuringly, "Everything will be all right Kagome. Inuyasha knows how to take care of himself. He'll be fine and he'll come back to you if it's the last thing he does. I promise you. I know he will." Kagome wiped the tears from her eyes and smiled at Sango. "So what are doing in this?" Kagome asked pulling the thick fabric that loosely fit Sango. "Well I figured it would be the only way I could get in. I guess Inuyahsa had a different strategy," She said laughing. "I think I better get going though. Bye Kagome," She said hugging her once more. Before she shut the door she whispered to Kagome, "Remember everything will okay." Kagome locked the door after Sango shut it and ran to the closet.
The white shirt lay wrinkled on the floor. Kagome laughed quietly to herself picking it up. She placed it in the drawers that stood next to her hanging clothes. A soft crinkle sound was made as she folded the shirt. A white piece of paper fell on the ground as Kagome shook the shirt. She threw it into the drawers and sat on the stone floor unfolding the note. She scanned the lines of handwriting for a good sign. All it had said was: Meet me in the woods, the usual spot. I'll explain everything there.
Kagome held the note up to her chest and quickly got up, making her fairly dizzy. She focused herself and gathered all her clothes stuffing them into large bag. The pain in her foot came back and made it impossible for her to walk on. She crawled to the vanity and pulled out a long cloth. She tied it tight around her foot and ankle, standing up slowly. Putting all the pressure on the barefoot, she half walked half limped to the back door. Kagome looked around the room, two full bags occupied her arms. Opening the door softly she whispered, "Goodbye." *______________________________________________________________________* Okay this is just a tiny bit better than the others but not by much. Trust me there will be much more to come in this story so if you think that it's over now...your completely wrong! Sorry to break it too you. So anyway review this and tell me what you think or if you have any ideas. Who knows maybe they'll be in the next chapter or something! Thanks! Sweetcherries10 ^-^
