Why Me?

Chapter 7: After School
Kagome and tried to walk quickly to the drug store a few blocks away from the store. When she walked, her legs would shake a bit, causing her to stop for a bit and rest, then keep going.
:::~ 10 minutes later~:::
'I'm finally here', Kagome thought as she entered the pharmacy. She went to the medication section. She grabbed ace bandages, band-aids, aloe, and other necessary stuff. Then she quickly walked to the line in front of the cash register.
A while later, Kagome looked at her watch. ' SHIT!' she thought, ' I'm late.' She stood in line, tapping her foot impatiently.
"No, ma'am, the sale was over a week ago. The cookies are now full price." The cashier said.
"No. I read the price tag. It said it is one dollar!" the customer, an old lady, argued.
"No, that was a week ago."
"I read the price tag."
"It was a week ago."
"I read the price tag."
"It was a week ago."
"GO GET YOURSELF SOME STUPID GLASSES!!!" Kagome screamed out of frustration.
The lady gasped and stomped out of the pharmacy without buying anything.
Kagome breathed out. She stepped up to the cashier and gave him her items. The cashier scanned the item and said, "that will be a total of eight, eighty-five, ma'am." Kagome took out a ten and gave it to him. He gave her the change and said, "Thanks for getting her off my case." He smiled at her. Kagome couldn't help but smile back. Her eyes caught her watch and she frowned. She quickly walked out of the store.
She was so worried about getting home on time; she didn't even notice a person following her. As she walked on a less crowded street, she heard footsteps behind her. Suddenly, a hand grabbed her mouth. "Mmmmmmph." was her stifled scream. She felt his breathing on her neck and the smell of whiskey was detected. She suddenly couldn't breath. Then, out of instinct, she bit his hand.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!" the man screamed.
She was instantly released. Kagome whirled around and saw the man shaking his hand. She kicked him between the legs and started running, but before she could even run, she was knocked to the ground. She felt a small throbbing pain around her ankle. "Owww." She said softly. She picked herself up and limped as quickly away as she could.
Her whole body ached, her legs shook, and her vision was blurry. 'I'm........so..........tired. ' She thought. ' I........... can't go........ any further.' Out of the corner of her eyes, she saw a figure dressed in her school's uniform. She heard the person gasp and start running her way. 'Help!' was the last thought that ran though her mind.
~~~~~~~ 'OH MY GOD!' Inu-Yasha thought as he started running. Down the stairs and past a corridor, he came to a stop in front of a door. He pounded on it. "SESSHOMARU!! WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY FRIGGEN ROOM?!" he screamed.
"Oh, it's nothing much Inu-Yasha, just revenge for the prank that you pulled on me last time." A voice said from behind the door.
"Yeah? Well why PINK of all colors!!"
"It suits you." Sesshomaru snickered and simply stated.
Inu-Yasha growled. He tried the knob once more before he gave up and went into his now pink coloured room. He jumped onto his bed still very pissed about his room colour and fell into a light slumber.
Meanwhile.........
Miroku thought it was a nice day to take a walk after school and since it was Friday, no school tomorrow, he decided that he would do exactly just that. He walked a couple blocks away from the school and turned into the park. He closed his eyes to enjoy the sunshine and the breeze for just a slight moment. Then he headed toward his house, taking the long way about.
He was humming a very happy song until he heard a scream that was cut short. He thought he had heard it from an ally way. Puzzled he headed for it. He peaked into the ally and saw Kagome there with a man behind her. He gasped and started running. Popular or not, he wouldn't let a student from his school get hurt by a stranger who could kill someone if he wanted to. He watched as Kagome collapsed to the ground. Miroku arrived at Kagome's side just as the other man did. The stranger stretched out an arm toward Kagome. As he did so, Miroku punched him in the face. The man staggered for a bit, then fell onto his stomach, unconscious. A whiskey bottle fell out of his pocket. Miroku wrinkled his nose in disgust.
He looked at Kagome's body for a moment. Then he took out his cell-phone (for once he's not perverted. lolz). He pressed a few buttons and waited for a person to pick up. ~~~~~
Inu-Yasha was peacefully sleeping until his phone rang. "Mmmmmmm......." He groaned, trying to block ringing sound out. When it persisted, he growled and picked it up. "What do you want?" He barked.
"Inu-Yasha, this is Miroku." By the sound of urgency in his voice, Inu- Yasha bit back all the anger he was planning on releasing upon whoever the unfortunate caller was.
"What?"
"I found Kagome. She's unconscious. I think she was chased by some drunk man."
"Is she okay?"
"I think she's just out cold."
"All right, where are you?"
"We're in an ally close to the pharmacy by the school."
"I'll be right over."
Inu-Yasha hung up the phone and ran out of the house.
10 minutes later..............
"Hey, Miroku!"
"Inu-Yasha, over here!"
"Did anything happen?"
"No, she's still unconscious."
"All right, let's bring her over to my house."
With that said, Inu-Yasha picked Kagome up and he and Miroku quickly ran to Inu-Yasha's house.
-------------------------------------------------------
"All right, I'm gonna put her in one of the guest rooms." Inu-Yasha said to Miroku who was lagging behind on the stairs. "Hurry it up, man."
"Okay, okay. Geeze, I don't practice walking up stairs everyday you know." Miroku grunted.
"Fine. I'll meet you upstairs then."
Miroku just grunted. A while later, he finally managed to crawl up the stairs and into the guest room, there, he collapsed onto a chair. He looked around while gasping for air. Inu-yasha heard Miroku enter the room, but he didn't even turn around to acknowledge him. He was too concerned for the girl that now lay upon one of the guest beds in his house. He was just looking at her when Miroku voiced something very important. "Her folks are gonna be very worried. Don't you think you should at least call her house and let her family know or something?"
"Yeah, you're probably right. I'll go do that now." With that said, Inu- Yasha walked out the door, only to pop his head back in and growl out, "Lay one hand on her, houshi, and you are dead. Understand?"
Miroku eeped out a yes.
"Good." When Inu-Yasha left, Miroku breathed out a sigh of relief, and then his expression darkened. "Just what kind of person do you think I am, Inu- Yasha? Think I'm stupid enough to lay a hand on her when it seems like you're interested?" Miroku muttered to himself.
____________________________________________
Meanwhile, Inu-Yasha was downstairs in the living room looking for the school phone book. "Oh..... come on, I know it's down here somewhere." Inu- Yasha growled, highly frustrated. Suddenly, he spotted a blue and grey book peeking out from underneath a pile of newspaper. "AH HA! FOUND IT!" he exclaimed. He quickly flipped to the page with the phone numbers of people from his grade. "Higurashi, Higurashi, Higurashi, ......." Inu-Yasha muttered while searching for Kagome's last name. He reached for the phone after he found her number, but hesitated. He wondered what would happen this time when her mom hears about what happened to Kagome. Last time, when he had brought her back, unconscious, to her house, her mother didn't seem like she cared at all. It wasn't what he expected. "Oh well, it's her problem, not mine." He grumbled as he picked up the phone and dialled the numbers. He waited patiently as the phone rang. "Moshi, Moshi. Higurashi residence." A little boy answered. Her brother.
"Hello? Hi, may I speak to Mrs. Higurashi please?" Inu-Yasha asked in a polite tone.
"Yes, please... I mean yes. Hold one moment please."
Again, Inu-Yasha waited patiently.
A short moment later, a polite and feminine voice said, "Hello? Higurashi residence."
"Hello? Mrs. Higurashi?"
"Yes?"
Inu-Yasha took a breath, not sure why he was a bit nervous. "Hi, I'm Kagome's classmate, Inu-Yasha. Um..... my friend and I found Kagome after school today. A drunken man chased her. I think she was somewhere behind a pharmacy. She's at my house right now." He stopped there, waiting for a reaction from the woman.
".................."
"......................'
"WHAT? WHAT THE HEL....I mean, HECK WAS SHE DOING THERE?" her angry side had surfaced.
"Would you like to some pick her up?"
"Actually, I have a big meeting to go to tonight, do you think you can drop Kagome off at her house? I'll leave Sota at home so he'll answer the door." Her fake side took over again.
"Uh....... Sure ma'am."
"Thank you so much. Bye!"
"B......" Inu-Yasha didn't even say bye yet and she had hung up. Sometimes, would wonder what kind of people are in Kagome's family. Certainly not sane ones.
He walked up the stairs and into the room. He saw that Miroku was reading a magazine and had most likely kept his hands off of Kagome. 'Good,' he thought. 'Maybe the perverted ness is going away or something.' That was until he saw that Miroku was 'reading' a Playboy magazine. 'He'll never get out of it.' Inu-Yasha shook his head sadly and sighed softly.
"Come on Miroku, we're dropping this chick off at her house." Inu-Yasha stated bluntly.
"Why, Inu-Yasha, I've never seen you act this way toward another girl before, not even to Kikyo!"
"Whatever. Let's go." was Miroku's reply.
"Perhaps you have taken a liking in this Kagome girl?"
"You know what?" Inu-Yasha asked Miroku. "Bug off!"
With that, they were off.
