Disclaimer: G'morning all. How are we all doing? I'm doin ok, I guess. I
just wrote chapter 10 for 'The Dark Side' so now I get to work on this
one!! I bet you can all tell from the title of this chapter what's gonna
happen... but oh well!! Don't own him. And you know something? I think we all
know I never will, so how 'bout no more disclaimers, eh? I have put one up
through every chapter and I don't ever wanna do one for this story again.
So, never will I say * I don't own Inu or anyone. They all belong to Rumiko
Takahashi * again in any form. You all know it so it should be good.
Besides, I even say it in my profile!! Oh, and I had a dream last night
that someone turned me in for abuse on this story because they didn't like
it T.T I was so sad!!
"A Hanyou in the Heart" by Inu Faceness
Chapter Ten: The Past Seven Years
Inu Yasha walked down the street. Lamps flickered on, illuminating his path. The moon hung high over his head at this late hour. All was peaceful and calm and crickets sang beautifully. Inside his head, however, it was all but peaceful and calm.
'You should tell her. You love her and it's best for her to know.' Inu Yasha turned a corner to his street. 'No, if she knew what happened, she'll just be disgusted.' He gripped the iron bars and pushed them open. 'But she wants to know. If she wants to know, then tell her. If she knows you can trust her with something like this then it will only make your friendship stronger. Just look at you and Miroku. You told him and you two are already becoming better friends.'
Inu Yasha slowly opened the oak doors, and entered. The main room was dimly lit as he walked, barefoot, across the room. He made his way up the staircase to the second floor. Not a sound was made besides his feet on the floor. 'So, Sesshomaru went to bed early,' he thought, looking at am extravagantly detailed grandfather clock that read ten o'clock. Inu Yasha walked past his half brother's dark bedroom and to the hardwood doors of his own. He tossed his bag onto the floor just under his window and plopped, face first, onto his mattress.
~*~
Kagome closed the door behind Inu Yasha and walked into the living room where her mother was the only one still awake.
"Kagome, what are you doing?" Her mother stood. "It's nearly ten o'clock. Don't you think you should be sleeping?"
"Hai, mom. I was just thinking." Kagome gave her mother a kiss on the cheek before continuing through the living room to the hallway leading upstairs. She gently opened her bedroom door and walked in, flipping on the light by her bed. She went to her dresser, picking out a pair of pajamas to wear in this warm evening. Finding a white tank top and black baggy pants, she got comfortable. She crawled under the covers on her bed, lying on her left side, back to the window.
'Poor, Inu Yasha. What coulda happened to him? Surely America isn't that bad.' She turned off the lamp and closed her eyes, trying to fall asleep. No dice. It wouldn't work. She was too wrapped up in possibilities for what happened to Inu Yasha that she found sleep was far away.
~*~
Down the road, a hanyou was lying on his right, also wide-awake. He sat up on the edge of his bed, staring out into the warm night sky. Inu Yasha sighed heavily before standing. He walked over to his widow and eased it open. Placing one leg on the windowsill, he crouched to fit through the small window. He jumped down into the green grass one story below him. With the cover of darkness, Inu Yasha ran through the town until he got to the back of Kagome's shrine. He climbed the tree that grew to Kagome's small bedroom balcony. He stood there for a moment, looking in through the glass and red curtains. Cautiously, he turned the golden handles.
Being as quiet as possible, he closed the doors. Inu Yasha turned to face her bed. He could tell from the uneven sound of her breath that she was still awake. So, he went to the edge of her bed and sat on the floor.
Kagome heard a thump beside her bed. She turned, sitting up in the process. A gasp escaped her lips when she saw Inu Yasha sitting by her bed. "Wh-what are you doing here, Inu Yasha?"
A blush crept to his cheeks, concealed by the darkness. "I have decided," he gulped, suddenly very nervous. Kagome reached over to her bedside table and illuminated the room. She sat up and against the headboard of her bed. Inu Yasha stood ad sat in front of her. "I wanna tell you about America."
She could tell from the way he kept his face hidden behind his bangs that something terrible happened over sea. Kagome placed a comforting hand on his knee. "It's ok, Inu Yasha. You don't have to tell me if you don't want to." Inu Yasha shook his head.
"No, you are my friend, Kagome. Friends don't keep secrets," he replied softly. He sighed heavily and began. "The day I met you I was told I would be leaving for America to stay with one of my brother's friends. Neither Sesshomaru nor his mom wanted me after my parents died. But they were obligated to, considering they were my closest living relatives. When I met you, I knew I wanted to be your friend. You kept me alive these past years, Kagome. If you hadn't shown me the kindness you did, I woulda given up long ago. I went through a lot of shit over in America."
"When I got there, no one was there to pick me up. I had the address that Sesshomaru had given me, but it turned out being an abandoned warehouse. No one was there. Sesshomaru's friend was supposed to meet up with me, but I never found him. I did, however, meet Naraku," he paused a moment. "He took me in, but never treated me as anything high than dirt. He'd come home from work, drunk, and beat me. He'd bring his friends over and they would too. Beer bottles, knives, you name it they had it. I fought back most of the time. But one night when I was about sixteen, they pulled out guns."
He stopped again, and Kagome asked a question. "You're a hanyou right?" he nodded. "Bullets wouldn't hurt you. You'd be healed before they could do any real damage."
"Naraku was head of an organization called NCKY, Naraku's Charge of Killing Youkai. He was a hanyou himself, but he wanted to rule it all. He wanted all the powers of youkai and be the most powerful. To become that, he had to kill those who stood in his way or were stronger. I was one of those in his way. His organization was head of killing youkai, so he had his ways. Bullets... they had a red coating on them, pure miko power in a solid form. Purifying demons is one of the only ways in killing them if you aren't strong enough to take them on head to head. He was drunk, so a sixteen year old hanyou was too much for him."
"So, they pulled a gun, I saw them load the cartridge with the bullets. I had lived with him for a few years so I knew what they were. I ran. I didn't want to die, Kagome. I promised you that I would return. If not for you, I woulda stayed and let them kill me. But as I turned, they got me in the arm." His hand went subconsciously to his right arm. Kagome brought hers too, lifting his sleeve. There was a red scar that was about two inches long and about half an inch thick. She didn't know how deep it went.
"Oh, Inu Yasha..." tears threatened to fall from her blue eyes.
"The purification was starting as I ran, so I went to a dark alley. I didn't know what to do. I thought I would die right then and there. Then... I kinda blacked out..." he shielded his eyes. Kagome suspected that something else happened, something he didn't want to tell her.
"Inu Yasha, what happened?" her voice was low and determined as she ran her finger over his scar. He gulped.
"I-I was..." he shook his head. "No, Kagome. I can't tell you. You would not like it if you knew."
"Inu Yasha, you are my friend. I will never look down on you for anything that happened in your past. I can't change what happened. I can only try and help what will happen. Please tell me."
He spoke softly, but when the words hit her, she felt as if a part of her was withering away. "I was raped." A hand went to her mouth as she gasped.
"My god."
"I was vulnerable, and some girls thought they could get a thrill. Nothing real bad happened."
"Inu Yasha, what do you mean, 'nothing real bad happened?' you were raped! Oh, Inu Yasha," Inu Yasha put a finger to her lips.
"Kagome, its ok, it's in the past. I got over it. I got a job and I wrote to Sesshomaru. He said I could come back when I saved the money. So, two years later I am back." Kagome fell into his lap, silent tears pouring down her face.
"I'm so sorry Inu Yasha. No one, especially you should have gone through that. It musta been horrible."
"I was half passed out from the pain in my arm," Inu Yasha held her close as she cried. "Only one thing bothered me. The one who did it I had seen before. I could hardly make her out in the pain and darkness, but she looked a lot like you and I knew her from my child hood."
"Looked like me?" Kagome whispered. He nodded.
"But she wasn't you. Kagome, for a while after that, I was hurt. Someone who resembled you in the dark hurt me, and it tore me to pieces. I didn't know if I could ever face you if I came back. But, I realized that I wanted to be your friend to much to let it effect me. I wanted to be with you, the one person who showed me kindness after my parents died. You kept me going. I never want to leave you. You are my friend, Kagome." She felt how eager he was to have her understand as he wrapped his arms around her tighter. "Please don't leave me," he whispered into her ear.
"Never, Inu Yasha. Never." She curled up in his arms, still crying quietly as they both shifted to a laying position. That night, Inu Yasha slept at Kagome's house. Their friendship had grown to a whole new level that could not be surpassed by anything but love.
~*~END CHAPTER~*~
Well, we all know what happened to my Inu when he was in America. Any guesses on who raped him? It ain't that hard to figure out. But, don't hate me for making it so. Its just I wanted to bring out a darker side to reality and you never hear about guys being raped. I thought it'd be an interesting point in the story. So, I hope you all are satisfied with this chapter. Later, all!!
