"Finding Your Heart: by Inu Faceness
Chapter Nine: Lost and Found
Onigumo watched Kagome mosey into her house. He could tell by her stature that she was exhausted mentally. The sides of his mouth were drawn in a smile. With his youkai-like hearing, he could hear a dull rattle of little white pills in her hand. No one was with her. He had the feeling she was going to pull through on her part of his plan.
Kagome carried the bottle of painkillers into her living room. She threw them onto the couch, not bothering to even watch them bounce on the cushion. Her eyes half closed, she walked into the kitchen and grabbed a bottle of water from the refrigerator. The devil was still knocking at her door, the sound of her heart beating against the door. Should she let him in? 'The devil could ease my pain,' she thought coldly.
"Don't you do anything," she made her voice deep to imitate Sesshomaru's. "Well what does he know? He can't keep me from doing anything. It's my house, my life." Tears streamed down her face as she re-entered the living room. Frustrated, she opened the bottle and took a drink. She threw the now open bottle against the wall. "You can't tell me what to do! IF HE CAN LEAVE THEN SO CAN I!" she fell to the ground in sobs, her body shaking violently. Water from her bottle spilled from the plastic onto the carpet.
Why was she so angry with Sesshomaru, anyway?
"Because he didn't want me to be with Inu Yasha. I wanna be with him and I made a promise I would follow him," she whispered, lifting her head from her hands and wiping her eyes. She watched as more water emptied from the clear bottle. Groggily, she looked over at the orange bottle of pills on the couch.
Her hand was inching closer to the doorknob as the knocking continued. Temptation got the best of her.
She crawled to the couch and grabbed the translucent orange bottle. Pushing on the lid and twisting, she removed four pills. They were chalky in her mouth but she swallowed them down. The next four were rough on her throat despite her moist mouth. The white label around the bottle instructed to take two a day, but Kagome had far surpassed that, lazily putting the eleventh one on her tongue. She hit the ground hard and the small pill rolled out of her mouth, joining the many spilled on the ground from the bottle in her hands.
Rin took the phone from Sesshomaru after he and Kagome's conversation ended.
"What did she say besides about Inu Yasha?" she whispered, sniffling loudly.
"She wanted me to tell you something," he looked away, searching for something to occupy his mind. He could trust Kagome, couldn't he? "Rin, you need to go see Kagome."
Rin dialed Kagome's phone number, but Sesshomaru stopped her. "Just go. Don't call." Rin's mind was clouded with confusion.
"What are you talking about? I need to call her." He shook his head and she sighed. She knew she'd never win with him now. "I'm gonna call Sango then, ok? Can I do that?" Her voice was laced with frustration as she started dialing. Sesshomaru knew her feelings and he left the house, standing in the grass.
Inu Yasha was dead. 'Damn you, brother. Don't you see what's happening? We need you here.' He didn't show emotion often, but when he did it moved the world. A small tear rolled from Sesshomaru's right eye before he swatted it away, leaving his eyes dry. 'I will not cry for you. You will be back.' Sesshomaru turned and walked back in the house.
"Uh-huh. Five minutes. K. You too, bye Sango." Rin put her phone on the counter, turning to look at her mate. Her face was red and slightly puffed as she folded her arms over her chest for comfort. Sesshomaru walked to her and brought her into a hug. Rin's walls crashed and she started crying.
The soft cry of a baby from upstairs caught Sesshomaru's attention. Rin pulled away and wiped her face on her shirt. He gave her a small kiss on the head to try and sooth her pain, telling her he loved her in a whisper, before going to check on the now awake Takara. Letting out a long breath, Rin's shoulders shook slightly as she waited for her friend to arrive.
Her smile, her eyes, the softness of her touch. That's all he was thinking about. Her black raven hair up in a stylish bun as a veil fell over her face. The soft words, "I do" spilled from her mouth.
"I'm having your child!" A beautiful voice, choir like tones rang through his ears. The bright look on her face when she said it made his heart skip a beat.
The cute scowl that played across her face as he spoke to her for the first time. "You baka! Seven years I waited!" He felt the smirk on his face as he remembered her angry strut in the opposite direction.
"I love you," those three words. The ones she spoke to him everyday since their graduation. The ones he would kill to hear now, in this overwhelming world of thoughts and memories.
But.... he still couldn't get that stench out of his thoughts. The smell he had sensed even in his coma.
She flashed before his eyes, held by the ominous man who had once cared for him. His bony pale hands wrapped around both her waist and neck. A low chuckle that came from the man as he sniffled her neck, licking the flesh on his way up.
The doctors had just put Inu Yasha in a room to have him lay. Funeral arrangements were to be scheduled tomorrow so the body had a place to stay till then. The lights were out, shadows thrown over the walls. No sounds, nothing echoed through the hospital room. And yet, a weak and barely audible heart rate rang through the silence like a beacon.
In a cold sweat, the supposedly dead man sat upright. His shining golden eyes piercing through the darkness, his scream chilling even the coldest of hearts.
"Kagome!"
Sango drove with Rin to their friend's house. There was a thick silence, both wondering what had gotten into Sesshomaru that they had to go to see Kagome. Was it just out of pure brother-in-law love? Or did the youkai have a specific reason? Neither said a word as they pulled into Kagome's driveway. Sango parked Miroku's car behind her own. Both women walked out of the car and to the house.
Rin was the first to scream when she saw Kagome stretched on the floor. In an instant, both Rin and Sango were kneeling next to the fallen girl, trying to get a rise out of her. Sango put a hand on Rin's shoulder, both their actions stopping as Sango pointed to the bottle of medicine on the ground.
Grabbing the bottle, a few pills still jingling in it, Sango and Rin maneuvered to carry Kagome out of the house. Both had unshed tears, but they decided now was not a good time to cry. Instead, they carried the limp body to the car and put her in the backseat. Rin sat with her and let Kagome's head rest in her lap until they reached the hospital.
Sango bolted out of the driveway and down the street, going nearly ten miles over the speed limit. She had to get to the hospital as soon as possible... 'What if Kagome's not gonna make it?'
Onigumo cursed loudly when he saw the car pull up to the house. When they walked out with Kagome's body, he nearly broke the steering wheel. His knuckles were white with the grip he held.
"Goddamn nigens getting in the way." He set his sight on the pistol in the passenger seat. They would all pay for getting in the way of his plan. He would see to that himself.
END CHAPTER
WOW! Sesshy cries... Kagome overdoses... Inu Yasha wakes up... Mystic Hanyou was right. I am on an angst kick. Well, I'll update ASAP.
I am kinda pissed at right about now. It's not giving me any emails for my review alerts, and I highly doubt that I am getting my author alerts as well. See, I have myself on my author alert ((lol)) and I didn't get the alert for the last chapter. GRRRE! So yeah, is kinda on my bad side right about now. I have to go to the actual story and click on reviews to see what reviews I have!! I don't get emails of them ::cries::
