A/N READ! PLEASE!- Okay, I'm pretty mad at my computer, it lost all my files and I have to rewrite this whole chappie. Gomen, I know, I'm rrreeeaaalllyy late. Heh, Earth-Goddess is telling me to write more, so I will! Also, through the fic you'll be wondering when Naraku got a dumpster...well the 'no trespassing sign in earlier chapters was there because they were renovating it, therefore they brought a dumpster in, and haven't token it out. Got it? I hope...
Oh yes, I want to thank Akuma-sama and Fantasy-Seal for actually e-mailing me back. Thank you!!

---------Chapter 5------Insanity or Murder-------It Can't Be So--------
Kagome plopped down on the antique sofa and scooped up the remote that lay next to her. She began flipping through the channels, hoping something good would be on. Honestly, staying home alone in an old house with a psycho freak that likes it when people fear him, as a next-door neighbor wasn't one of the things she planned on doing in her lifetime. But then again, she didn't plan to have her mother murdered either.
Shippou had left for home and Kaede went to see Arisu. She shook her head, as if to rid her thoughts of her mother, and sighed in exasperation when she failed miserably.
'Mom, I promise I'll find your killer...I promise,' she thought sadly. She scowled when she found nothing on, and stood, dropping her feet to the cold, wooden floor. She rubbed her temple, before walking up the old stairs. She turned the brass knob to her door and walked in, sitting down on the olive colored sheets. She gazed out the large window, and realized it looked upon Naraku's backyard.
Scary enough he walked out carrying a large, black, plastic bag, walking to the dumpster in the back of his house.
Wait, a LARGE, black, PLASTIC, bag, big enough to fit a body...her eyes widened at the realization and she gave a little 'eep' before jumping quickly off the bed and kneeling below her windowsill. Her head was high enough to peer out, yet low enough to be discreet.
Naraku walked to the forest colored dumpster and threw the bag in, turning to leave he stopped halfway and gazed into Kagome's window. She yelped in surprise and quickly sank lower, back pressed against the wall below the window.
She stayed that way until she heard the start of an engine and the peeling out of tires. Her back, which was rigid with fear, slumped.
'Oh. My. God.'
'Kagome, you were probably just seeing things, it could be an ordinary trash bag,' she thought to herself.
Only one way to find out.
------10 Minutes later--------
'I can't believe I'm doing this,' she thought as she shrugged on her jacket. She opened the screen door and walked around the house to the large wooden gate that was Naraku's. She pulled the handle, but it was locked from the inside out.
She sighed, only one other way. She put her hand atop the wooden fence, before swinging one leg over so she was straddling the fence. (ouch...) She swung her other leg around, and cried out in pain when she fell face flat in the dew-covered grass, collecting bruises and scratches along the way.
She tried to stand, but her ankle gave a scream of protest. She glanced at it and shuddered. Her whole foot was covered in bruises. She grasped part of the fence for support, and limped over to the dumpster. The foul stench caused her to cover her mouth with her hand.
She looked around, and just when she saw a glance of pale skin, she heard the garage door open.
'Oh. Shit.' She knew she couldn't make it back over the fence with her leg, so she had to find another way out. She limped to the gate, trying to pull it open, but, alas, you cannot open a lock without a key.
'Gah! Kagome, plan B, never leave the house without plan B!'
She limped to the screen door, ignoring the crimson stains on the patio concrete.
'Please, open, please!' she thought as she shoved it open.
'Good...the...door...open...' she thought, some of the fear leaving her, but quickly returning in a larger number when the security alarm clock went off.
Adrenaline now pushing her on she ran to the gate, oblivious to the protests her feet were giving her. She grasped the fence right when someone got to the patio screen. She fell off the other side, just as the person stepped out of the house. She lay there, but quickly got up, hearing the gate being unlocked. She limped as fast as she could to the front of the house, and quickly walked in. She locked and bolted the door, and sank to the floor.
She put her face in her hands, the fear slowly leaving her. But, the gods didn't play nice with her, and the doorbell rang, jolting her up. She limped to the kitchen window and peered out. There, on her doorstep, was Naraku.
She limped up the stairs, taking her clothes off in the process. She got to the bathroom and turned on the shower, pulling a towel on. Her legs and face had bruises scattered everywhere, so she put some of her ba-chan's anti-wrinkle cream on her face. She didn't even bother with her feet.
The steam from the shower was making her queasy so she limped back down the stairs to the door. She opened it a fraction of an inch, plastering a smile to her face as she poked her head out.
"Yes, Naraku, may I help you," she asked, and was surprised at her own steadiness of her voice.
"My house was broken into, did you see anything?" Naraku asked, eyeing her suspiciously.
"No, I was in the shower, sorry! I have to get going," she said a little to quickly.
Naraku pushed open the door and advanced on her. She instinctively limped back until she was against a wall. Naraku nuzzled his head in the side of her shoulder.
"If you saw anything Kagome, you better not tell anyone, or I'll kill every single, one of your friends just like I did your mother," he said dangerously into her ear.
She pushed him off her and said, "I think you over-stayed your visit now leave," she said as calmly as possible. He smirked when he smelt fear coming off her in wavelengths. (he's hanyou, member?)
He turned on his heel, and walked out the door, shutting it as he left. She sank to the floor. She felt alone, very alone. She couldn't tell anyone. Or else her friends would be killed...she wouldn't let that happen. Just as tears began streaming down her face the doorbell rang. She tightened her towel and walked to the door, opening it slightly. She looked out to see Sango, Miroku, and Inuyasha standing there.
"Kagome, open the door," Sango said, putting her hands on the door making pressure.
"I-I c-can't Sango..."
Inuyasha stepped up and Kagome, a human, covered in bruises and scratches, could not keep her ground against a hanyou. She fell back and landed on her butt, she quickly got up and averted her eyes from them.
"Do you need something?" she asked.
"Kagome...what happened?" Inuyasha asked walking forward in the same way Naraku did. She whimpered slightly backing up. Or rather, limping.
"I can't tell you..." she whispered.
"Kagome, you can tell us," Sango said coming up to her friend.
'How do I get out of this situation?' she thought.
She turned and fled up the stairs. Stupid old house had NO locks on any of the doors except the front and back. Inuyasha sprinted up the stairs after her.
"Shit," she muttered. She was to the end of the hallway when Inuyasha caught her. Strong arms wrapped around her waist, pulling her to a hard chest.
"Kagome," Inuyasha purred into her ear, "What happened?"
She turned and buried her face in his chest.
"I-I can't tell you..." she mumbled, tears threatening to fall.
"Yes you can," he said into her hair.
"N-no...you'll get k-killed if I-I tell you," she said. His arms tightened around her waist, as if trying to protect her from something that wasn't there.
"Kagome. I'm hanyou, I won't get killed easily," he said, stroking her hair absent-mindedly. It took his every last once of strength to suppress a growl.
"If you die, promise you'll let me kill you?"
"Promise," he said smiling against her hair.
"Naraku...he-he killed someone and I went to check, but he got home before I could. He killed my mother..." she whispered.
His eyes widened at the mention of Naraku, and he said, "Naraku? He was the one who killed...Kikyou..."
--------- I'm so mad at myself for letting Kikyou be in here. Yeah, she will be. But it WILL stay a Inu/Kag pairing...Gah! Aw well. Nighty Nite people!
Ja!
