Chapter Three Strength Of Pain
Kagome pulled on her jacket once again. The servants knew well what she was doing, for she had been doing it for a month. Kagome opened the door and stepped out side into the snow and started her walk to the park.
November had been an uneventful month. Thanksgiving had been only a week ago and she was sure there were still left overs in the fridge. The gang had come over and eaten, but the meal had been uncommonly quiet. It might have been her fault, for she had said more than needed.
The group had been surprised when Inu Yasha had brought over his girlfriend. The girl was extremely hyper and had black hair that went to her chin. The girl also seemed to have a hair fetish. Her name was Yura. Although Sango didn't care for her, Ayame immediately liked her. Most of the conversation was those two talking with periodic interjections by one of the boys.
Kagome sat on one of the benches in the park and watched the snow fault. She did this as much as she could, just come to the park and watch the snow fall. This was her escape from her life. Kagome no longer new pain she just felt numb. She no longer thought it possible for her to feel pain. She had even started calling Sesshomaru, Sessho again. She hadn't called him that since he had left, it had been too painful.
A soft voice that drifted on the wind broke through her thoughts. Kagome focused on the voice and heard the voice singing.
"So be gental if you please, 'cause you hand are in my hair but my heart is in your teeth. And it makes me want to near you always. I want to be you always."
Kagome shook her head as the voice faded on the wind. Sighing she turned her attention back to the snow. The snow had lightened up. Now only a few flakes drifted down. A few minutes later it stopped completely. Standing up she went to the pond. Kagome reached into her pocket and pulled out a rose. A thorn pricked her finger and blood welled in the small wound. Kagome looked at it dispassionately and shrugged. She tossed the rose lightly into the pond. It floated for a second before some fish came up to explore the new item. They dragged it down.
Kagome cocked her head and looked down at her finger. The blood had streamed down her finger and dripped off. It bled quiet a lot for such a small wound, but it didn't hurt at all. She sighed and started the walk back home. The wind was frosty and Kagome decided to take a short cut, it wouldn't be good for the baby if she got sick.
Walking down the dark alleyway between two stores, she failed to notice the shadow that followed her. She spotted it a split second before it grabbed her. Kagome gave a startled cry before she was yanked back by her arm. She struggled but her movements were hindered by her pregnancy. Her captor obviously growing tired of her efforts wrenched her arm up. Kagome gasped as she heard the crunching of bones.
"Does it hurt?" Her captor asked sadistically.
Kagome thought she could hear a smirk in those words and took exception to it. She stomped down on one of her captor's feet. She smirked as her captor yelped and released her. Kagome smashed her hands into the back of it' head and ran. She ran out of the alleyway and into one of the restaurants. Breathing heavily she leaned against the door.
Then the intense pain hit her. Kagome sunk against the door griping her left wrist. As she gave a moan of pain she started noticing the people gathering around her.
"Kagome?"
She looked up and noticed Inu Yasha's face through her hazy gaze. He moved towards her as she closed her eyes. He noticed her wrist and lifted her up and looked behind at the people gathered around them.
"Some one get a car," he ordered.
He looked back down at Kagome and she opened her eyes again. Her eyes were blurry, but after a second she focused on Inu Yasha. She smiled weakly up at him.
"I guess that I can feel pain after all," she whispered.
Her eyes closed and Kagome blacked out. A man rushed out the door and Inu Yasha followed him to his car. The man drove them to the hospital and dropped them off. Inu Yasha carried Kagome into the hospital. The hospital had already been notified about Kagome coming in so they took her directly into a prepared room. Inu Yasha was left to pace in the waiting room. Inspiration hit him and he took out his cell phone and started calling the gang.
Elsewhere
I that same room the sun shown through the window, illuminating the normally dark place. No one lurked in the forsaken halls. It seemed the shadow was on the prowl.
Miroku's Office
Miroku was sitting behind his desk and looking through files. He no longer aspired to be a monk. He dropped that as soon as he was out of collage and they mentioned being celibate. Now he was a detective, after they had found Kagome he wanted to continue doing stuff like that. He also had a wide range of influence and informants. He was an expert at gathering information, after all he spent all his collage and some of his high school years as the Information King.
He opened one of the folders and scowled. This wasn't really a case, he was helping out Kagome. This particular folder held Sesshomaru's current location. The man was soon going to get an angry visitor; Miroku was going to stop down there within the week. He looked down at all the information and scowled again. He was missing a vital piece of information, why Sesshomaru had left.
His sources told him that Sesshomaru was also in a terrible mood. He seemed to miss Kagome as much as Kagome missed him. So now he need to know why. The phone besides him rang. Miroku picked it up before the second ring. It might be someone with information, after all only his informants had the number for this line.
"What?" He snapped.
He listened.
"Yes, and what does that have to do with the light of day?"
After a second Miroku's face visibly paled. He took out a paper and started writing, keeping the phone to his ear with his shoulder.
"Anyone else?"
He listened. Then went even paler.
"WHAT?" He shouted.
He again listened.
"Thanks, bye."
Miroku hung up the phone. This was bad, it meant Kagome might be in danger. Then it hit him, this might have something to do with Sesshomaru's leaving. His cell phone rang and Miroku answered it after he finished writing down some notes.
"Hello?" He said politely.
He listened on the phone for a minute then jumped up and grabbed his keys.
"I'm on my way," he said and hung up.
He rushed out the front door and into his car. Driving his car faster than the speed limit he left. A single word fluttered back on the wind.
"Damn."
Juroumaru's Car
Juroumaru drove as fast as the speed limit, going over would only get them pulled over. Musou sat fidgeting in the passenger's seat. Juroumaru tossed him a cell phone.
"Call him and tell him," he said.
Musou dialed the number. He listened intently, while looking out the window.
"Kagome's in the hospital," he said quickly.
There was a shout from the phone. Musou winced at the volume.
"I don't know," Musou said.
He listened intently and then hung up the phone. He then looked at Juroumaru.
"He says that he can't come down yet," Musou announce.
"Damn," Juroumaru replied.
The Hospital
Inu Yasha continued to pace the waiting room after he finished calling everyone. The doors slammed open as Miroku and Sango came in. They were closely followed by Kouga, Souta, and Kohaku. Who were followed by Juroumaru and Musou. They all sat down and silently waited for news on Kagome.
Ayame came in through the door and smiled at the gathering. She made eye contact with Inu Yasha as she spoke.
"Kagome's fine, she had a broken wrist though," she announced.
A relived sigh went through the group and everyone started hugging again. Sango made the mistake of hugging Miroku and a second later he was laying on the floor. A pissed off Sango stood above him.
"Stupid Hentai," she muttered.
Everyone laughed at their antics.
"You guys are taking too much room, now that Kagome's okay you can all go and one of you can just take her home," Ayame said.
"We'll take her, we're off today," Juroumaru said.
Musou nodded in agreement and everyone else sighed and left. Ayame shrugged and went back through the door.
Juroumaru and Musou sat down and waited for Kagome to be ready to go home. About an hour later Kagome came through the doors and hugged Juroumaru and Musou. Her left arm was in a cast and brace and it future harried her moments.
"What happened Kagome?" Juroumaru asked.
"I was attacked while I was coming home," Kagome replied quietly.
"I think I would be a good idea if someone stayed with you from now on," Musou suggested.
Kagome looked surprised.
"You don't think this was planed, do you?" she asked.
"I think it was," Juroumaru answered.
"But who?"
Kagome's question went unanswered, for the moment.
In The Valley By The Mountains
Sesshomaru was in a dark mood he had locked himself in his room, so he wouldn't do something he would regret later. He punched a dummy in the corner and went back to the desk and pulled out a letter, he glared at it wanting to throw it in the fire.
"I hate you," he declared.
He dropped the letter and went to the window and stare out. It wasn't snowing but the skies were back and it fit his mood perfectly.
"I should be there for her," he whispered.
Elsewhere
In the once light room, it was once more dark. The shadow was sitting in a chair with his feet propped up on the table. In his had he held a glass of wine. He raised it in salute to something unseen and sipped. He then put the glass down.
"How far can you go, my toy? Where is your limit? Kagome, welcome to my game."
End Chapter
Kejie: Akikazu is in one of her 'moods'. She VERY upset. In fact when she finished this chapter she carried the laptop to me and dropped it on my lap. So see you later people.
