Love Hurts No Matter What
-Chapter 4-
The Witness...
"Hey, Kagome!" Sango called for Kagome a few feet away from her. She ran in the halls, trying to push people out of her way so she can catch up to her. She found Kagome standing next to the water fountain.
"What do you want, Sango!?" Kagome shouted.
"I just....wanted to know something."
"Why do people always want to know something thats a part of my LIFE!!"
"Chill out! I just want to know where you're going out to dinner tonight with Kouga. It is your anniversary, right?"
"We're going to the NCO Club."
"That's where you're going?"
"Yes, but...."
"But what?"
"Oh! Nothing! I.... gotta go! See ya later, Sango!"
She waved goodbye to Sango and started to run to her class. Sango had the feeling something was wrong with her. But what about that conversation she had with Miroku the other day? Did Inuyasha really hurt her? But he couldn't! Her and Miroku knew Inuyasha is not THAT brutal.
Sango turned around and started to walk to her class. She wasn't sure if she should tell Inuyasha and Miroku about Kagome's and Kouga's date. She has no idea what they would be planning if she told them.
But, her thoughts were interrupted when she felt a slight touch on her butt. She turned around to smack Miroku hard on the face.
"How many times do I have to tell you to stop doing that!?" Asked Sango.
"I'm sorry! I was only trying to get your attention!" Miroku put a smile on his face.
"Next time you want to get my attention, CALL my NAME!!"
"Hey love birds! Stop with the mushy stuff!"
"AH!! Inuyasha! When did you came here!?" Sango's heart was beating fast, getting over the shock that Inuyasha was watching the whole thing.
"Sango, did you ask the wench on where she's going on her date tonight?" Inuyasha asked her.
"Yeah...." Sango put her hand to her mouth, making sure she wasn't going to blurt out what she was going to say.
"Well?"
"My lips are sealed!"
"Don't worry, Inuyasha! I'll make her spit out the little information." Miroku started to put his hands on Sango's shoulders. He smiled at her and Sango felt her spine shivered. She knew what he was going to do....kiss her. She didn't want that. When his lips were an inch from her's, she screamed.
"ALRIGHT! I'LL DO IT!! SHE'S GOING TO THE NCO CLUB TONIGHT!" But it doesn't matter, he still kissed her. She didn't move for quite a few seconds. Then he removed his lips from hers and both him and Inuyasha started to walk down the hall. "Um...."
"What?" Asked Miroku.
"I just...want to know what exactly you guys are going to do at Kagome's date."
"Simple, we get a job at the NCO Club, be waiters, and ruin Kouga. Not the wench!" Said Inuyasha. "Why do you ask?"
"I just....have a bad feeling that something terrible is going to happen to Kagome after her 'date' that scares me."
"What do you mean?" Asked Miroku.
"Like....she might get hurt physical and emotional. Just do me ONE favor: Don't over do it. I hear Kouga has so much anger inside of him that he might actually destroy something important to him."
"Fine! We won't over do it!" Said Inuyasha.
"See you later Sango!!" Smiled Miroku.
And they disappeared in the halls.
(7:30 PM---NCO Club)
Kouga was wearing a black tuxedo with a bow, always trying to fix it every five minutes before they actually eat dinner. Kagome was wearing a black dress, the straps a little below the shoulders. Kouga hates it because he figures guys would be looking at her and try to look down her dress. Let's hope he doesn't get angry.
After they got a table and was drinking some water. Kouga was asking one of the waiters to sneak some sake in his drink, Kagome didn't notice that.
"May I take your orders?" said a voice.
Kagome turned her head to the waiter and saw white hair and those golden eyes. "What are you doing here, Inuyasha?" Asked Kagome.
"I'm working here, and so is Miroku. Just give me your guys' orders so I can give you your food!" Said Inuyasha.
"Whatever! I would like some yakisoba, rice and some vegetables. What about you, Kagome?" Asked Kouga.
"I would like a stake, mash potatoes, and some rice. That'll be all..." said Kagome.
"Good, I won't be able to give out more food for Mrs. Wench!" Inuyasha walked away, laughing to himself. Kagome was clenching her fist under the table, not letting Kouga see it.
Kagome drank all of her water before her food came. Her friend, Hojo, came with a glass of water. He patted her on the shoulder to get her attention and had their type of conversation. Kouga was growling quietly at Hojo while he kept rubbing her shoulder and smiling at her.
After he left, their food arrived. Inuyasha delivered it, but he went back to talk to Miroku about whats going to happen next. They just needed a word in the restroom.
"Whats the next act?" Asked Miroku.
"Very simple! You drop a banana peel on the floor so I can slip on it!" Answered Inuyasha.
"How is that going to ruin Kouga?"
"Easy, I'm going to be carrying eight glasses of water. And if I slip on the banana peel all the glasses will land on prince charming. He'll be mad enough to leave home wet!"
"Hm....that's cruel. But I like it! Let's do it!!"
They both left the restroom laughing to themselves. Inuyasha just thinks he's brilliant and is too confident.
(8:30 PM)
"Check please!" Said Kouga. He is still mad at Hojo and Kagome. One reason for Kagome: She didn't tell Hojo to flake off! But no.....all she was doing was being too nice and too sweet to nice-little HOJO!!!
Miroku brought the check to them and walked away. He had his chance the drop something away from them for the plan to work. He started to walk away and saw Inuyasha carrying a tray of eight glasses of water.
Inuyasha kept walking with a smile on his face and his eyes closed. But he knew where the banana peel is.
He stepped on it....fell forward.....and the glasses landed on Kouga and the water spilled out. He was soaken wet! From top to bottom, INUYASHA AND MIROKU RULES!! MISSION ACCOMPLISH!!
Everybody laughed at him, including Kagome. She started off with a smile, then it turned into a giggle. Kouga saw that after he moved his bangs, anger was building up inside of him. He stood up, everybody stopped laughing and stared at him and so did Kagome. He walked to Kagome's side and grabbed her wrist hard. But she didn't show any sign of pain. He dragged her out of her seat and he paid for the check and left.
Inuyasha and Miroku got fired and were kicked out of the building. But they didn't care, their mission was complete and they both couldn't wait to tell Sango what they did. But Inuyasha stopped being cheerful and saw Kagome being thrown in the car by Kouga. Inuyasha saw his eyes, they were filled with anger. After that, he saw Kouga slammed his side of the door and they went off.
"Come on, Inuyasha! Let's go and celebrate!" Said Miroku.
"You go with Sango, I'll be right back. I'm afraid I have one more thing to complete," said Inuyasha.
(9 PM)
Inuyasha was right behind Kagome and Kouga. He saw them going into a apartment room. He knew it was Kagome's place but why would they go there. When he walked up to the door, it was a little bit open. Why wasn't it closed all the way? He opened it a little bit to see what's going on.
Kagome has changed into her pajamas and was just talking to Kouga. Let's see what they're talking about.
"Kouga? Are you....angry?" Asked Kagome.
"You dang right I'm angry!!" Shouted Kouga.
"But why? I didn't do anything-"
"Please!! I saw that idiot Hojo touching your shoulder and you didn't even tell him to stop doing that! He was trying to hit on you! And plus there's the fact you were laughing at me when that idiot waiter spilled water on me!"
"Kouga-"
"I try to do everything for you but you won't do anything for me! Do something for me!"
"Well, what do you want me to do?"
"I don't care what! It's your fault for guys looking at you!"
"My....fault?"
"You didn't have to wear that damn dress! Because guys will think you're so damn beautiful!!"
"But I wanted to wear that dress because it was our anniversary!"
"I swear! If a guy trys to look at you again for looks, you're the one in serious trouble!!"
"Kouga, I-"
"SHUT UP!!" He punched her in the face, near the eye. "I told you, if that Inuyasha guy has some contact with you, you tell me! And you didn't! Yesterday you guys were having a Ball War!"
Inuyasha couldn't believe what he was seeing and hearing. He couldn't believe any of this. Why would somebody do such a thing?
"Kouga....it's-"
"IT'S YOUR FAULT!!" He punched her to the ground. He started to kick her in the stomach and in the legs. "Stupid ignorant woman!!" He then stopped kicking and threw a punch in the stomach.
Inuyasha thought Kouga was done. He heard Kagome coughing, crying out in pain. He wanted to barge in there and punch Kouga himself, but he thinks it'll just hurt Kagome even more.
Kouga waited for Kagome to sit up. He wasn't finished yet. When Kagome finally stood up, his hands grabbed her neck and started to choke her. He was filled with rage. He started to shake her, getting the air out of her body. Kagome put her hands on his wrists to make him to stop. Her eyes started to get all watery, she wanted to cry to show Kouga he's hurting her. But it didn't work at all.
It just got worst....
Her vision started to get blurry and she was running short of breath. She needed to breathe, needed air in her lungs. But she was losing all of that from Kouga. She wanted it to stop right now, before things get out of hand. But all she knew was to listen to Kikyo. She shouldn've break up with him, but then she thought she would end up like Kikyo....in the hospital. She didn't want that at all.
"Kouga...please....stop this-"
"Shut up!!" He started to squeeze even harder.
Kagome closed her eyes to try to pray for a miracle to happen. Praying to God to help her. Did she really deserve all of this? If she does, then does she deserve to live at all?
Suddenly, life was slipping away from her. Her hands started to lose grip on his wrists and it fell to her side. No air....
He let go of her neck and she fell backwards and landed on her back on the floor. Kouga didn't do anything. Instead he left her there on the floor.
Inuyasha saw him coming and quickly hide somewhere. Behind a wall where you have to make a turn in this hall. Inuyasha heard the door closed and peeked to see where Kouga is heading. He was heading the opposite direction of Inuyasha, and stopped in front of the elevator. He pressed a button and the doors opened, he went in and the door closed.
That's when Inuyasha had his chance to go to Kagome's room before it was too late. He ran to the door, opened it and closed it behind him. He saw Kagome on the floor....just laying there, lifelessly. He got scared and worried and started to run to her. He bend down to hold her, but first he needed to check if she was still alive.
He couldn't tell.
She wasn't breathing. He put his hands on her shoulders and started to shake her for her to wake up.
"Kagome? Kagome! Wake up!! Come on, please! Wake up so I can tell you still have some life in you!!" Said Inuyasha. Still nothing. What does he have to do to bring life back to her body? "[What was I thinking!? I need to do CPR!!]"
He let her lay on the floor and used two fingers to hold her nose. He started to get a good heep of breath into his mouth and breathe into her mouth to put air in her lungs. He did it again to make sure. He put his hands back on her shoulders and lift her up a bit above the floor to shake her again.
"Come on!! Wake up!!" He layed her back on the floor and started to give her air again. He takes in big breaths and breathe it out into her mouth. He needed to save, no matter how much he hates, they were friends before. They were an item once before. Even though they broke up in the freshmen year, he would still protect her from any guy who hurts her.
Still nothing....is she dead? She can't die!
"Oh God, no....please don't tell me! God! Bring her back to me!!" When he started to shake her again, she started to cough. Inuyasha wasn't sure if it was imagination so he waited for a moment. She was breathing again, she clutch her neck to make sure she was breathing alright. Inuyasha was relieved, he was scared for a moment and now relieved to see life in her again. "[Thank you God....]"
Kagome stopped for a second to look at Inuyasha. "Inuyasha...? What are you-"
"I'm glad you're safe! What happen-"
"Get out...."
"What?"
"Get out before he comes back! I don't want him to hurt you too!"
"You knew I was here?"
"You wouldn't be here if Kouga didn't do this to me. Why else you would be here? You probably now know he hits me now."
"Yes, I do know he abuses you. But you let him do that?"
"Just leave before he comes back! Please...."
"I'm not leaving!"
"Why?"
"Because you're in danger! I can't stand to see you get hurt."
There was silence. "He always say he loves me. But does love hurt this much? If it does then I'm not sure if I want to love anyone!"
"Kagome...."
"Sometimes....I just want to die so I won't be able to feel this pain. I just want him to kill me....so I can be free from this pain I have been suffering for three years! Ever since last year, he's been blaming everything on me. About guys looking at me, about his grades drop sometimes...everything. Everything....is my fault."
"That's not true..."
"I'm the one with the problems. I'm the one who's ruining out relationship..."
"Even that is not true! Kouga's the one with the problem, not you. Kouga's the one who is ruining the relationship, not you. It's all Kouga's fault, not yours."
"I just.....sniff .....don't see why he hates me so much...why he hits me? I....just....deserve all of this!" She started to cry out, she forced herself into Inuyasha's arms. He wrapped her arms around her.
He just couldn't believe all of this is happening to Kagome. She doesn't deserve any of this. A few days ago, Kikyo told him about Kagome and Kouga. How she's noticing the bruises too. She explained about how Kouga treated her and was afraid Kagome would end up the same as her.
How Kouga abuses her and Kagome....
At first, Inuyasha didn't believe it. But when he notice those bruises on her arms and legs at the pool, he was starting to believe her. But...he denied that nothing was wrong with Kagome. Inuyasha is the type of person to see....and believe. He witnessed it....he believes it. But why is all of this happening to her? When did life became so cruel?
Kagome definetly didn't deserve it....no one does. God knows that....so why won't He stop Kouga from all of this? Well, for one thing humans need to do things to help each other. Inuyasha just realized that God is there to guide you, watch over you, know every single thing of you. He doesn't just watch over people.
He created life.....
"[Kagome...you need help.] You need to tell someone about this," said Inuyasha.
"No....If I tell, Kouga will somehow find out about it and will hurt me even more. I'm afraid I'll end up like Kikyo." She was clutching on to Inuyasha's shirt and cried even more. "Since when did you....started to care?"
"Since the day you bumped into me in the halls...."
"But....I thought you didn't care...."
"The truth is....I do care. Why do you think I was asking about those bruises?"
Kagome didn't answer. She just continued to cry in his arms. Inuyasha didn't know what he should do.
"Kagome....I think Miroku and Sango needs to know this..."
"Fine...you can tell them, but not anyone else."
"But-"
"PLEASE!! I don't want a lot of people to know."
Well, at least now.....he knows one thing to do.

"Next time you want to get my attention, CALL my NAME!!"
"Hey love birds! Stop with the mushy stuff!"
"AH!! Inuyasha! When did you came here!?" Sango's heart was beating fast, getting over the shock that Inuyasha was watching the whole thing.
"Sango, did you ask the wench on where she's going on her date tonight?" Inuyasha asked her.
"Yeah...." Sango put her hand to her mouth, making sure she wasn't going to blurt out what she was going to say.

"My lips are sealed!"

Miroku brought the check to them and walked away. He had his chance the drop something away from them for the plan to work. He started to walk away and saw Inuyasha carrying a tray of eight glasses of water.

Inuyasha is the type of person to see....and believe. He witnessed it....he believes it. But why is all of this happening to her? When did life became so cruel?
Kagome definetly didn't deserve it....no one does. God knows that....so why won't He stop Kouga from all of this? Well, for one thing humans need to do things to help each other. Inuyasha just realized that God is there to guide you, watch over you, know every single thing of you. He doesn't just watch over people.
He created life.....
"[Kagome...you need help.] You need to tell someone about this," said Inuyasha.
"No....If I tell, Kouga will somehow find out about it and will hurt me even more. I'm afraid I'll end up like Kikyo." She was clutching on to Inuyasha's shirt and cried even more. "Since when did you....started to care?"
"Since the day you bumped into me in the halls...."
"But....I thought you didn't care...."
"The truth is....I do care. Why do you think I was asking about those bruises?"
Kagome didn't answer. She just continued to cry in his arms. Inuyasha didn't know what he should do.
"Kagome....I think Miroku and Sango needs to know this..."
"Fine...you can tell them, but not anyone else."
"But-"
"PLEASE!! I don't want a lot of people to know."
Well, at least now.....he knows one thing to do.
