Love is Pathetic
Chapter 4
Why Are You Helping Me?
--------------------
"What did you say?" Inuyasha yelled.
The two men did not back down one bit under the threatening tone of the hanyou. "We are hereby going to arrest you until your execution date."
"You will not arrest me because I'm innocent!" Inuyasha shouted in anger. "Just ask your precious princess. She will say I'm innocent too. So would her bodyguard, that Sango girl."
"Princess Kagome will not have a say in this, because you were manipulating her. And her bodyguard was unconscious most of the time, therefore unable to give evidence." One of the men took out a pair of handcuffs and put it swiftly onto Inuyasha's wrists while he kept on yelling.
Inuyasha noticed the cuffs binding his hands together uncomfortably. He tried to tear them apart with his superhuman strength, but failed. He could sense some kind of magic on the handcuffs. They were usually used for youkai criminals caught alive, but now, they were on Inuyasha's wrists as well.
The men began to lead him out of his house, but he fought them. He kicked one of the men away from him and faced the other one, fully prepared to spill blood if he had to. The other man took out his sword, and charged at Inuyasha. The hanyou dodged the attack easily, and charged after the man, who was just over the momentum of his charge, and turning around. Inuyasha grinned cockily as he ran towards his opponent at his top speed. the hanyou knew he had the human under his grasp. Just one tackle, and Inuyasha would be free of jail. True, he would have to live his life as a criminal, but there was always his father to turn to. Maybe he could become a full youkai and live in the forest like the other demons.
Yes, Inuyasha was just a few feet from his target now. One more second, and he would win. Then, something grabbed his legs. He struggled to get his leg out before he would fall, but the grip was just to tight. With the disadvantage of having no arms to balance himself, he plunged into the ground face down. Realization dawned onto him. He had forgotten about the man he kicked away, and now, his carelessness would be his downfall, literally. He felt something hitting his skull repeatedly. Even though the blow somewhat weak, about twenty consecutive blows was enough to even knock a full youkai unconscious. He felt stars dancing beofre his eyes and an overwhelming urge to close them.
'No, don't close your eyes.' He screamed to himself. 'Don't give up!' Too late, his eyes had a mind of their own, and that was to just rest. Inuyasha's eyes closed, as did his world. The last thing he remembered was his mother crying to him, begging the men to stop hitting her son. Inuyasha slipped into unconsciousness.
--------------------
Kagome was bored out of her mind. After her mother's commands, she was not allowed to do anything except for sitting in her room and sulk. But she had sulked and raged at her mother's words so much that even doing that was getting boring. She looked out the window of her bedroom. A full moon hung high in the sky, telling her that it was almost midnight. But no matter how hard the tried, she could not fall asleep. She could already hear Sango's quiet patterned breathing on the other side of the room. Sango was deep asleep, leaving Kagome with even less things to do, not to mention having to be quiet, fearing that she would wake her only friend up.
She watched Sango's peaceful face for a while. Who would've thought such a pretty girl would spend her life chasing after demons and killing them. Sango had spent her whole life in pain. Her mother died giving birth to her brother, Kohaku. Then demons attacked her village. Her father and Kohaku defended her with their lives. She managed to escape, but no one else did. She had blamed herself for all this ever after, at least until Kagome had finally got to know her, and the two girls began to bond. That was when her scars started to heal, slowly.
Kagome sighed. Thinking of Sango's past had made her depressed. She got up from her bed slowly, careful to not make too much noise. She walked over to her window and stared out at the moon, shining brightly over the forest that she was forbidden to go to. She watched the scene before her silently. How she longed to be among those trees, with no palace gate and walls to stop her from being free.
A black figure suddenly appeared onto her balcony. She felt her body going stiff. She did not need another attack at this time of the day. Her mother would freak out so much she would not even have her privacy in her own room anymore. She stared at the figure, closing in on the window. She ran to Sango silently and shook the older girl to wake her up.
"Wha..." Sango said sleepily. Kaogme put a hand over her mouth, and pointed at the black figure, now opening the window slowly. Sango immediately tensed up. She grabbed her boomerang, which was lying beside her, and got up as silently as she could. The figure was stepping into Kagome's room through the window.
"Who are you?" Sango said loudly.
The figure was so shocked at the sound it fell into Kagome's room clumsily, knocking over a couple of vases on the way. Thankfully, the rich carpet lessened the noise of the vases breaking considerably. The figure groaned in pain. Sango went forward warily, and put the sharp end of her boomerang onto the figure's neck. Meanwhile, Kagome slipped to the light, and turned it on.
Bright light filled the room, making all three of the people squint. Kagome was the first to recover, being the only one knowing that the light was coming. "Miroku?" Kagome said in surprise.
"Miroku?" Sango blinked at Kagome. Then she turned her recovered eyes onto the black figure on the floor, which was actually Miroku.
Miroku put up his hands, admitting defeat. "Guilty as charged."
Sango's face began to grow red. "Miroku you HENTAI!" She screamed, startling Kagome a lot.
"Sh, Sango-chan! Are you trying to get my mother to catch us like this?" Kagome hissed.
Sango looked at Kagome apologetically. Then, she turned back to Miroku, and her eyes hardened again. "What are you doing here, lech?"
Miroku's face suddenly turned serious. He got up from the floor, and sat onto Sango's bed. "Inuyasha has been arrested." He stated gravely.
"What! Why?" Kagome bursted out, trying to keep her voice to the minumum volume.
"Two men came to Inuyasha's house this afternoon, saying some jury decided that Inuyasha was guilty was being in league with his brother in trying to murder you, and manipulating you to believe he is innocent when he saw his brother fail." Miroku said in one breath, trying to explain as much as he can in one sentence.
"Why did they think that?" Sango asked in disbelieve. "He was fighting his brother."
"Yes, but the jury people didn't think so. Inuyasha tried to attack the men there to arrest him, but they managed to cuff him first, and then beat him unconscious." Miroku said painfully.
Kagome's eyes narrowed a little at Miroku's last words. "What do you want us to do?" She asked suddenly.
"Wha--what?" Sango stared at Kagome.
"Yeah, how did you know I was going to ask you something?" Miroku said in confusion.
"You are here, aren't you? You wouldn't risk being beat to death by Sango just to tell us your friend has been arrested. You obviously want us to do something to help him."
Miroku smiled. "All right. I was thinking of something along the line of that."
"Just spill it." Sango was getting very impatient.
"Ok. I have done some research on cases alike with Inuyasha's. They always put that kind of prisoners in one cell. Right now, there's only Inuyasha in there, because they haven't caught Sesshomaru yet. I have already managed to steal the key to that cell, somehow. But there is one rule that says no one would be allowed to visit the cell without the personal approval of someone whose status is greater than a General."
"So you want me to be that authority." Kagome finished for Miroku.
"Yes," Miroku answered simply, finally realizing that his oily tongue does not do him any good with this princess.
Kagome thought about it for a second. "What do you think, Sango-chan?"
No answer.
"Sango-chan?"
Sango emerged from the bathroom in her fighting outfit. "I don't think my opinion matters, since you obviously wants save Inuyasha."
Kagome smiled at her friend. "All right. Wait here and watch the lech. I'll be right back." She grabbed some clothes out of her closet and went into the bathroom.
-------------------
Two minutes later, the three of them were ready to go. Kagome opened her door slowly and carefully, making sure to not make any noise. She peeked out. There was no one there. She turned around and signaled for Miroku and Sango to follow her. She then turned back to the half open door, and was confronted by a pair of large brown eyes.
Kagome jumped. "Where are you going, Princess Kagome?" The owner of the eyes asked curiously.
Kagome put a hand over her chest, trying to force her heart to slow down from the shock. She panted a little, staring at the girl in front of her. "What are you doing here, Rin?" Kagome demanded as soon as she got her breathing under control.
"Your mother assigned me here in case you wanted to go out and did not have enough bodyguards." Rin answered pleasantly. She was around Sango's age, had dark brown hair and large brown eyes. Even though she was older than Kagome, she still acted like a little girl. Now, she was peaking into Kagome's room, trying to figure out why the princess would go out so late into the night.
Kagome also looked back at Sango and Miroku for help. She knew she could trust Rin, but what should she do right then, she had no idea. Then, Sango stepped up. "Rin, would you like to come with us?" Sango asked, staring at Rin straight into the eyes.
Rin's face suddenly turned a childish playfulness to dead serious. "Of course. I want to know what you are doing."
"And you won't betray us?" Sango asked again, putting a little threatening tone into her voice.
Rin shook her head determinedly. Then, she smiled. "I know exactly where you are going. You are going to save that hanyou in jail, aren't you?"
Kagome, Miroku, and Sango stared at the girl in shock. "How...how did you know?"
Rin smiled again. "Knowing it's you, Kagome, it wouldn't be hard to guess." Her smile suddenly disappeared. "Come on, let's go if we are going to be there and back without getting caught."
Kagome was suddenly brought back to reality. She nodded, and began to follow Rin towards Inuyasha's cell. Miroku and Sango followed them tightly.
--------------------
A while later, they have finally arrived at the place where all prisoners were jailed. The four of them walked towards Inuyasha's cell quietly, guided by Miroku. The three of them have surprisingly not met anyone asking them to show their identification on the way. All the people they saw on the way were a couple of drunk jail guards, snoring loudly as they slept deeply.
Finally, they reached Inuyasha's cell. Miroku got out his key carefully, and plugged it into the key hole. With one careful turn, the lock sprang open. Kagome opened the door quickly, hoping to get Inuyahsa out of there as soon as possible. As soon as the door was open, Kagome felt herself being strangled. A claw had found its way across her neck, and she was turned to face her companions. She had a very good idea who was choking her.
"Inuyasha, stop it." Miroku hissed. The claw on Kagome's neck loosened. Kagome was freed. She turned around again, and saw a very guilty looking Inuyasha standing in the door of the cell. His face quickly changed from guilt to his arrogant cover.
"What are you doing here?" Inuyasha hissed back. "Don't you know you would be dead if the guards found you here?" Kagome, Sango, and Rin exchanged glances, obviously wondering if saving Inuyasha was the right thing to do. Miroku, however, did not share their thoughts.
"This is not the time to pretend to be tough, Inuyasha." He told Inuyasha firmly. "We have to get you out of here as fast as we can." He began to drag Inuyasha out of the building. Kagome, Sango, and Rin followed.
It was not hard to get out, considering that Inuyasha did not want to wake up the guards either. Once they were outside, Inuyasha suddenly turned to Kagome abruptly, startling her a little. "Why are you helping me?" He asked suddenly.
Kagome blinked. Did she just hear Inuyasha asking her -why- she was helping him? "Because you are innocent, and I don't believe in executing innocent lives." Kagome answered simply.
Now, it was Inuyasha's turn to blink at her. "It doesn't matter to you that I'm a hanyou? It doesn't matter to you that you are saving a half demon?" Inuyasha asked with his eyes open wide. He had never met someone who had accepted him for who he was from the start. Even Miroku had some kind of judgement towards him when they first met. But this girl, Kagome, did not care at all. He was finding all of this too hard to believe from his experience.
"Of course not." Kagome answered as if it was obvious. "Why would I care whether you are hanyou or not?"
Inuyasha opened his mouth to answer, but Miroku cut in. "If you want to go to your father, you have to go now, before the sun rises." He stated quickly.
"Why don't you let Rin go with you?" Sango suddenly suggested. "She can help you if you run into any kind of problem with the palace guards."
Inuyasha just stared at Sango as if she was crazy. "How could a mere human help me? Besides, I can take care of the guards on my own."
Sango gave out an impatient sigh. "It's not that kind of help! I'm talking about getting you out of here without attracting attention." She had decided to ignore the mere human comment just because time was short.
"How about we let Rin decided?" Kagome suggested reasonably.
"Good idea, Lady Kagome." Miroku said. "Lady Rin?"
"Well," Rin said slowly. "I do need a vacation. So I supposed this will have to do."
"Great," Kagome said cheerfully. "Then this is settled. Inuyasha, Rin is going with you. I'll just tell mother you got sick during the night and had to go home, Rin."
Rin nodded, so did a very dissatisfied Inuyasha. Then, Rin started to lead Inuyasha towards the gate of the Palace. The two of them slowly walked out of sight.
"Well, I think I'll have to go too." Miroku announced as soon as Rin and Inuyasha disappeared from sight. He also walked away, leaving Sango and Kagome by themselves.
"I suppose we should go back too." Sango had finally recovered from the sudden disappearance of everyone else, and suggested to Kagome.
"Right," Kagome answered, and two of them began to go back towards Kagome's room.
--------------------
Whew, that was a long chapter. Do you realize that the chapters are getting longer and longer in this story? Oh well, it will all be good. Ok, Kikyo comes in the next one, and Shippo the one after that. I have decided the order. Now, my last note, REVIEW! and I'm done. Toodles!
