Chap 5: Reality sucks.
Sunlight was making itself known politely to Kagome for the first time in her life. She came awake in stages, slowly drifting up from unconscious. Her eyes opened to the room, drenched in sunlight. And boy was it bright! She brought an arm up to shield her eyes and slowly sat up. She could hear a heartbeat outside the door and smiled slightly. One of the werewolves was standing guard for her. It was rather sweet of them. Sai had removed the needles earlier on and put a band-aid on the spot on her arm. She checked it and pulled the sticky away. Her arm was already healed of the little cut.
She stretched and winced at her own smell. God, did she need a bath. The girl got out of the bed--
And immediately jumped back on it. Wait a minute. She scanned the room. Where had the boy gone? 'Ichiro and Sai must have moved him during the night. I hope he's okay.' Kagome got back up and went over to the dresser. She rooted through the drawers and found a clean robe. She put it on the top of the dresser as she looked in the mirror. She winced. She looked like hell warmed over then left out overnight. She stripped out of her old clothes and put the satin thing on.
That was the only clothes she had now, she thought sadly. 'Mom, Grandpa, Rin, Souta. I miss you. Are you still worried about me? Do you think I'm dead? Aunt Yuka, please don't keep looking for me. I wouldn't want them to see me like this. A Vampire.' Hot tears streaked down her cheeks as she traced the shape of her fangs with her tongue. She was a monster. What was she supposed to do now?! The last day and night was coming back to her with a vengeance, wearing her down with the reality of her situation. Kagome fell to her knees, sobbing.
She couldn't go home like this! The girl wrapped her arms around herself, hunched over. How was she supposed to explain that she was a monster now? Kagome barely registered that the door had opened and someone had come in. She didn't care what Kagura had said, she was an unclean monster!
Suddenly she was being lifted in someone's arms. She stilled instantly as she felt herself leave the ground and be carried over to the bed. The someone sat down and kept her in their arms. The boy, she scented. The boy from last night. "Wha--
"Shh. Its okay now," he whispered harshly. Something in his voice told her to believe him. She leaned into him. His arms-they felt so strong and safe. He held her until her tears passed, absently stroking her hair. "Don't cry. You get used to it after a while. You just stop feeling it so hard. Don't cry anymore, okay?"
To Kagome's amazement, she was starting to feel a little better. It took some effort, but she quieted the rest of her tears. She looked up into his face and met his golden eyes. "I'll try." She sniffed hard. "I'm sorry. I almost never cry, I don't know-(hiccup)-what came over me. (hiccup) Um, (hiccup), do you think-(hiccup)- you could let me down? (hiccup)"
The boy blushed once he realized that he had yet to let her go. "Sorry," he muttered as he lifted her off his lap to beside him on the bed. She smiled at him and asked, "Do you feel better-(hiccup)-from last night? You look a lot-(hiccup)-better now, but does anything still hurt? (Hiccup)"
He looked at her oddly. "No, I'm fine. Are"-he swallowed, gah, it was embarrassing that girls crying made him nervous-"are you alright?"
She smiled, but couldn't meet his eyes. "Nothing a hot bath and-(hiccup)- and a glass of water won't fix." The boy blushed again. "I-I'll leave you to it then." He got up and walked over to the door.
"Inuyasha?"
He whirled. "How did you know my name?"
"You told me."
He frowned in confusion. "I did?"
"Last night, remember? When Lord Sesshomaru brought you in?" The young man shook his head no. He grimaced, "sorry I was such a mess. I usually win my fights."
"You were in a fight? What happened?" He told her about the Kagerumaru clan and what had gone on that night. "But that's awful! Killing innocent children, those rotten bastards!" The girl gasped and put a hand over her mouth. "Whoa. I've never used that word before."
Inuyasha looked at her surprised. "Really? Why not?"
She looked at him oddly. "It's not polite to swear."
"Who cares? With the Kagerumaru clan, there is no word rude enough for them."
Kagome nodded. Someone that would kill children deserved any name they got. "Inuyasha, where's the bathroom?"
"Oh, the one for vampires is down the hall, second door to the right."
"For vampires?"
"Yeah, they make us keep it clean just for them the arrogant"-he stopped dead. For all her civility, the girl was still a vampire, still his mistress. He shouldn't have even started the sentence in front of her!
Her reaction surprised him. "You mean like the old black and white segregation laws? That's awful!" He nodded, best to keep clear of that subject. "Here, I'll take your clothes." He picked them up, sniffed them and made a face. They were soaked in the scents of fear, anger, pain, and miko backwash. "You put up one hell of a fight when they bit you, didn't you?" He stopped when he heard her take a sharp breath and mentally slapped himself. 'Idiot! She probably doesn't want to remember that!' Inuyasha could hardly believe his mouth today, it was getting completely out of control.
He turned to face the girl again. She was standing so still she could have passed for statuary. "Yes," she said very softly. "I did fight. There were six of them; they cornered me in the dressing room at the mall. I remember these bright flashes of light whenever they tried to touch me. I think I was purifying them." Another tear went down her face as her fists clenched. "They bit me. They bit me every place they could reach on me, my arms, neck, shoulders," she shuddered, "even my legs where they grabbed me. They wouldn't let go of me, they wouldn't let go"-her voice broke off.
Inuyasha stood still, not knowing what to do. He walked over and awkwardly touched her arm. "I shouldn't have brought it up. Sorry." She looked up at him and tried to smile, but it looked like a grimace. "Its alright, it's over now. I'll go get that bath now."
He watched her walk out of the room with a frown. This girl was very different. She should never have been made a vampire. She was too-nice, was the only word for it. He walked out of the room and down to the laundry. She would need something clean.
