Chapter 6: Violated, a Fight, and the Truth!
Kagome froze when her gaze caught a figure, out of the corner of her eye, speaking with the Instructor. She felt her knees begin to buckle when suddenly they gave out from underneath her. She would have hit the floor if not for Inuyasha who was standing directly behind her. Miroku and Sango came to her side, but found she was in a trance of some-sort. Sango began to try calling out to her, in worry.
"Kagome? Kagome?! Kagome, what's wrong?" Sango asked.
Inuyasha followed Kagome's gaze with his own that lead to a boy their age, with long back wavy hair that cascaded down his back. His eyes, from Inuyasha's perspective were a deep red, which almost resembled auburn brown. He was tall and somewhat muscular body but not bulky at any area. The young man was wearing all black with long silver chains. He had a dark aura around him. Inuyasha could already feel the hate that burned within him for the odd man.
Inuyasha's attention was lead back to Kagome when she softly answered one of Sango's questions.
"N-Nar-Naraku." Her voice held, oddly enough, fear and she began to tremble a little. Sango's eyes widened like Kagome's and she slowly turned to the direction behind her. She seemed shocked at first but then her eyes turned to narrow slits and she growled between clenched teeth, "That Bastard!"
Naraku turned and began to observe the over students with an emotionless face or one of disgust. When he took site of Sango, his face turned into a mixture of distaste and hate that covered it a brief moment. He showed no interest as he looked at everyone with his cold eyes. He stopped his gaze at Kagome. He stared at her in growing amusement, as she tried to contain her fear.
Kagome tried to glare at him but the fear continued to build up. She was able to control her nerves enough to cease shaking as much but she had a hard time trying to glare. Then, to her shock, Naraku's thin lips curved from a straight line into a smirk. He continued to watch her as the teacher introduced him.
"Class, this is our newest student, Naraku Onigumo. He is the new transfer student that we have been waiting for. I want you all to welcome him appropriately. He will be in the tournament, as well. It appears that he has had much experience and training in the martial arts from his last school. Ok, but for now, I have posted the last matches tomorrow. The last starting matches will be.Inuyasha and Derick, Kagome and Michael, Brice and Ebiney, and Naraku and Tombo. Because we have a new student we will most likely have an additional round for the spot of winner. I'll see everyone tomorrow! Class dismissed."
The class began to leave and head toward their next class. Inuyasha and Kagome headed toward History, while Miroku and Sango walked in the direction of their upcoming class, Math. Inuyasha watched Kagome carefully as they entered and sat down in their seats. Her eyes were glazed and she still had a look of fear.that strangely increased as she grew more tense while staring at the front of the class. Inuyasha turned his attention to where she was gazing. It was that Naraku person.
Kagome wasn't the only person staring at someone, Naraku stared right back. His expression changed from that of no expression to complete amusement. He viewed her as a prey and he was the predator. Naraku had heard rumors that Kagome Higurashi had grown even more beautiful from the last time he saw her. He also heard that she turned punk..which he now saw as a little surprising but that's one of the things that drove him even more obsessed about her. Inuyasha began to growl. 'What the hell does he think he's doing looking at her like that!?' He stopped when he noticed that while growling he was also clenching his fists. His nails had dug into his skin where he drew blood.
Kagome turned to try and avoid Naraku's gaze when she noticed Inuyasha's hands were bleeding. 'How did that happen?' She thought while searching threw her backpack. Her mom had always made her carry a small first aid kit.you know protective parents. She reached for both Inuyasha's hands and placed them, palm-up, in her lap where she began wipe the blood away from his hands carefully with an antibacterial washcloth. She then started to apply ointment and pain-relieving lotion. She then wrapped his hands in a bandage.
At first Inuyasha was surprised by the action but then relaxed as she did her administrations. Once she finished, his hand already began to feel better. Kagome got up and threw the bloody washcloth away in a nearby trash can. When she took her seat by him again he said, "Thanks, Kagome. I was just wandering.do you always carry a first aid kit around in your backpack?"
She chuckled a little then replied, "Yeah. My mom wants me to take extra precautions." Inuyasha laughed a little at that. Kagome grinned. Inuyasha had a hard time trying to keep to the bet and his reputation. No one really seemed to notice his time with Kagome, with the exception of Kikyou. Inuyasha felt himself actually.liking his time with her.
Naraku watched the exchange. Kagome's attention had been directed away from him and to the guy sitting next to her.. he looked familiar. Naraku dug through his brain for the name.Inuyasha. Naraku seethed when the two started laughing at something they each said. The teacher gave him his seat, which was only two chairs away from Kagome. Naraku decided that he wanted her a long time ago.he wasn't going to give up.
Class ended shortly. It was now time for lunch. Kagome and Inuyasha stopped by his locker.or now their locker to drop of their books. Kagome still felt excited that she got a place to put her books.
They then headed toward the cafeteria.
"Inuyasha, wait up!" The two turned to find Kouga at a small distance from them. Kagome decided to give the guy a break and just watch as Kouga asked to talk to Inuyasha.privately.
Inuyasha was a little suspicious but followed after telling Kagome that he'll talk to her at lunch.
Kagome nodded and watched Inuyasha follow Kouga around the corner. Kagome, then, turned back to the direction of going to the cafeteria. She turned a corner and was surprised to feel a hand grab her mouth and another grab her hands. She was dragged into a nearby janitor's closet. She struggled but her captor held fast. She was then pushed up against her captors chest which she now recognized as male. Then the next thing chilled her bones and made her grow sick and still.
Naraku bent down close to Kagome's ear and whispered, "Well, isn't this a familiar position? I want to finish what we started." His hand released her hands as it began to roam her body like it did before. His other hand remained over her mouth. His cold lips touched her neck, suckling it then moving up. She grew afraid but still had enough sense to elbow him in the ribs. He instantly freed her and she backed away. She glared at him, trying to gain more courage.
He looked at her shocked at first, then his expression slowly grew to one of delight. He chuckled, much to Kagome's discomfort. "I see you've grown stronger. I like to own strong things."
Kagome glared at him and said in a low voice, "How dare you! I don't belong to anyone! Leave me alone! And get out of my way!" Naraku still blocked her exit to the door. He didn't budge.
She tried again, "Did you hear me?! I said." She was cut off when suddenly Naraku had her in a trap against the wall and him.there was no escape. He leaned in making sure to step on her toes and holding her arms above her head in order to prevent her from kicking and punching. He then desired space between them with a kiss. He forced his tongue into her mouth. Tasting everything he could. He broke the kiss right before she closed her mouth in attempt to bite his tongue. He grinned and said, "Kagome, always remember.you're mine. If you don't, just know, there will be consequences." He completely freed her now and exited the closet. Kagome stood.violated.
It was her first kiss and that bastard stole it. She began to cry as she slid to the ground. She brought her knees to her chest and sobbed.
(With Inuyasha and Kouga)
Inuyasha followed Kouga until suddenly, he spun around and glared at Inuyasha. Inuyasha raised an eyebrow. They were standing in the court yard.
Kouga continued to glare as he said, "Leave Kagome alone. She's mine." Inuyasha's blank expression of confusion suddenly turned to one of a scowl.
"What the fuck!? Who said she was yours? She doesn't belong to anyone you wimp! She's a person not an object. Didn't she tell you that?"
Kouga's temper rose. "What did you say?!! She's mine 'cause I say she is and if you don't back off, pup, I'll have to beat your face in!" To prove his point further, Kouga clenched his fist and held it up.
Inuyasha became angrier by the minute. "I'd like to see you try, wimp!"
With that, Kouga threw a punch at Inuyasha who dodged and easily kicked him in the back. Kouga howled in pain as he hit the ground. "You'll pay for that, bastard!" He got up and the two began an intense combat. Each one both hit vital areas and each got a blow or struck down.
In the end Inuyasha won but received a small bruise on his cheek and side. He also got a cut lip. Kouga didn't come out so lucky. He got a twisted ankle, a bruised eye, and one broken finger. His lip was also bleeding. Kouga was on the ground, rasping for breath. Inuyasha lay near him, exhausted. After a moment, Inuyasha picked himself up and helped Kouga up who was a little confused.
"Why are you helping me?" Kouga was still breathing heavily as he leaned on Inuyasha for support and they both started walking toward the nurse's office.
"Feh. Because even though you may be stupid, I don't leave injured people on the ground with no help." Inuyasha said.
Kouga limped by Inuyasha silently. Maybe he misunderstood Inuyasha. Perhaps Inuyasha wasn't that bad.
After Inuyasha dropped Kouga off with the nurse, he made his way to the lunch room to find Kagome. Then he heard crying. He moved his way to a janitor's closet where the sobs seemed to be coming from. He was shocked to see Kagome lying on the ground crying into her knees.
"Kagome?" he asked gently.
She looked up then she relaxed a little and turned her head away from him. He was bewildered as to why she would be in closet crying so he walked over and sat down next to her.
"What's wrong?"
"He-he stole it. He stole my.my.." She began to sob again. She felt like her world was going to go down. She didn't know what to do.
Inuyasha was still a little confused. He pulled her into his lap and allowed her to cry on his shoulder. He did, what he hoped, were soothing motions on her back. He said softly, "Shhhh.calm down. What happened? Who stole something from you? And what did this person steel?"
Kagome looked up and for some reason her eyes immediately locked on his lips then slowly made their way to his eyes. They showed genuine concern. She took a deep breath and laid her head against Inuyasha's chest. He blushed a little but was intent on helping her.
She answered softly as she began to feel warm in his embrace, "Na-Naraku. H- He stole my first kiss with-without my p-permission." She hated to look weak but she felt drained. Inuyasha grew tense and suddenly felt angrier then he had ever been before. 'HOW DARE THAT BASTARD!!!'
Inuyasha pulled Kagome closer and hugged her tight. Then, he said as calm as he could, "What else did he do?"
Kagome glanced up. She could tell by the sudden stiffness in his body, rigid posture, and tone of voice that he was furious. She smiled a little.
"Thank you, Inuyasha, for caring." She wiped her eyes while Inuyasha watched her questioningly. 'What ever that bastard did, I'll kill 'em!!'
She smiled and grew red as she noticed they're close proximity. She looked into his golden orbs that seemed to warm her as she just gazed at them. She pressed her lips to Inuyasha's cheek and said, " And thank you for finding me. I needed you."
'She NEEDED me?' Inuyasha thought. Then he got an idea as Kagome hugged him a last time. He rapped his arms around her and stood up with her in his arms. He stood up and walked quickly into the halls.
"Damn right you needed me! Who else would be there?" He swung her around. She laughed in enjoyment and he laughed with her. When he stopped he put her down and they both went to lunch.
(After School)
Kagome, Inuyasha, Sango and Miroku walked out of the school. They were talking when Miroku made a perverted comment. "Hey, you guys never did tell me and Sango why you weren't at lunch at the right time and arrived late. So where were you?" He had a perverted grin on his face.
Inuyasha and Kagome blushed a little but Kagome answered, "Nowhere."
Sango and Miroku chuckled. "Suuuuure!" Sango said. Sango left with Miroku while Kagome began to make her way to the bus stop. Inuyasha stopped her.
"Hey, wait. Do you want a ride home?" He asked.
Kagome stood unsure for a moment but then said, "Sure, why not?"
She followed Inuyasha to his car, ignoring the glares she received from some of the other girls. He got in and she did the same. He zipped out of the parking lot and was driving madly down the street, yet still in control. He had expected her to be like other girls and scream, while pleading for him to slow down. But she did the exact opposite.she laughed and said, "Faster! Faster!!!" He laughed and began to slow down, much to Kagome's disappointment, until he stopped completely in front of Kagome's house. He turned and asked, "Hey, I was wandering when we could get together and do that science project? Can you come over this weekend to my house and work on it? Saturday I kind of have to baby-sit my cousin that night and it would be very helpful if you came over."
Kagome thought for a second then agreed. "Ok, that will be fine. What time?"
"Maybe around..6 pm?"
Kagome nodded her head. "Sounds good to me. Thanks again." She hugged him before stepping up the shrine steps and walking into her house.
Inuyasha watched from the car.a happy expression on his face. He felt overwhelmed by the different emotions. He felt overjoyed for some reason. It was odd.
AN: OK! So how'd you like it?!! Tell me by sending a review!!! Thanks. I'm sorry it wasn't as long as the last chapter but if I continued I wouldn't have a great next chapter!!! Arigato. Ja ne.
