Miracle Worker

Chapter 10: "Angel of Peace"

Inuyasha felt a certain joy fill him when he saw his raven-haired beauty enter his room with a huge, brilliant smile on her face. It was a joy that he thought was lost to him forever, yet it was a joy he had never felt before.

"Inuyasha," Kagome exclaimed. "You can come home now; you never have to come back here again."

Inuyasha suddenly walked up to Kagome and wrapped his arms around her. She felt so warm and squishy against him. He never had to come back to this hell hole ever again; the trial is a different story.

But, for now, it was only Inuyasha and Kagome… and their son, Shippou.

"What the hell happened to your car, Kagome?!"

That was Inuyasha's demand when they got out into the parking lot, and he saw Kagome's horribly damaged car.

"I'll explain it to you on the way home."

Inuyasha did not like her answer, but he did not say anything. Instead, he tried to open the passenger door, which would not open no matter how hard he pulled. Finally, with one last pull, the door came off.

Inuyasha looked at it with wide eyes; his was holding it by the door handle, and the hinges were torn off. Oops. He looked at Kagome with wide eyes, but she was too busy trying to get into the driver's seat through the window.

Thinking as quickly as he could, Inuyasha sat in the passenger's seat, and closed the door. The whole time they drove back to Kagome's apartment, he held the door in place, afraid that if he lets it go, it will come off.

As Kagome drove, she told Inuyasha the whole incident with the driver in the black car. Inuyasha was silent the whole time, as he listened intently to the story as rage built up in him. The hanyou carefully stored the rage away until the appropriate opportunity presented itself to let it out.

"This guy," Inuyasha started. "Did you see what he looked like?"

"Unfortunately, no, I didn't, but I know for sure that he has messy black hair."

"Messy… black hair…?"

Suddenly, Inuyasha was attacked by images that he could vaguely remember. It seemed like memories from a long time ago…

He was back in his old house, looking at Kikyo and her other lover lying in the bed that belonged to only Kikyo and himself. It must have been after he transformed because one, Inuyasha did not remember these memories, and two, his claws her very, very long and sharp.

Kikyo looked at Inuyasha with wide eyes, filled with fear while the man next to her smiled like he had just won the lottery.

"So the beast finally awakens." The man commented, standing up with his pants still on.

"Be careful!" Kikyo warned her lover. "He is very dangerous in that form!"

"Oh don't worry," the man reassured her. "I will not get hurt, but he will."

Inuyasha watched through his eyes, but was unable to control his own body. He attacked the man with messy black hair, and they fought for a long while as Kikyo struggled to put her clothes back on.

The man grabbed a metal pipe beside the bed that Inuyasha did not know was there. The man hit him very hard on his left temple, a loud, vibrating thong sound filled the room, and Inuyasha saw himself go down to the ground.

Kikyo ran to the other man's side even as he laid there in pain, his left temple throbbing, and a thick, red liquid oozed out of his head.

"He's not dead, is he?" Kikyo asked, looking down at the hanyou.

"Of course not. That would not do for our plans." The man replied, nuzzling Kikyo's neck.

"Oh, you are so evil, Naraku!" Kikyo laughed.

"Inuyasha! Inuyasha!"

Inuyasha blinked. Was he lying down? He must be; he could feel the grass underneath him, Kikyo was looking down at him.

Inuyasha blinked again. No, it was not Kikyo; it was Kagome. The one that truly loves him, but he is so unwilling to trust her.

Inuyasha groaned; his left temple throbbed as if he had just been hit there by that metal pipe. He rolled over, feeling so sick that he threatened to vomit.

"Inuyasha!"

Kagome grabbed his shoulders, trying to steady him. The ground felt as if it was rocking beneath him. Inuyasha turned back over on his back, looking at Kagome, although there was two of her beside him.

"Inuyasha, please, stay with me!" Kagome said desperately.

Inuyasha groaned again, closing his eyes, breathing hard, and willing the awful, nauseous feeling to go away. He felt Kagome try to lift him up, however, his half demon weight would not permit it, and he ended up falling on her.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome cried again, her body was being crushed beneath his weight. "Please get up!"

Inuyasha blinked again, trying to get on his arms. Was he killing his Kagome? No, he cannot kill her. They have come so far, for so long…

Inuyasha finally forced his upper body up on his weak arms, his muscles felt as if they were tearing from his weight. He looked down at Kagome, using his fuzzy vision. His eyes landed on her soft, red lips.

He blinked again.

"Inu—"

Kagome was cut off when Inuyasha's lips met her lips, his weight crushing her again. She tried to breath with what little bit she could; his lips and his weight prevented her from breathing correctly. All she could do was take shallow breaths, realizing how much more big he is than she. Inuyasha could practically cover all of her body.

Finally, Inuyasha's brain and vision cleared, and he opened his eyes, seeing a female beneath him. He rolled off, looking at the woman beside him, breathing as if she had been holding it forever. When Kagome took her first breath, she felt dizzy, and it took her a few more intakes to will the dizziness away.

"Kagome?"

Kagome sat up, Inuyasha was sitting up beside her, aware, and so that was a good sign. She smiled weakly at him, her ribs and internal organs felt broken in several places.

"I'm alright." She reassured him.

"I'm sorry; I didn't mean to hurt you."

Kagome put a hand up to stop whatever he wanted to say.

"Its okay, Inuyasha, it really is okay. By the way, are you alright?"

"Shit, Kagome!" Inuyasha swore, punching a fist in the ground. "I'm supposed to ask you that! Not the other way around!"

"But you had a memory fit, and when you leaned on the passenger door, it came off!" Kagome argued back. "You almost fell out of the car, but I grabbed onto your shirt, stopped the car after I pulled over, and dragged you out! You were out for about two minutes! Even after all that, you think I don't have the right to ask you if you are alright?!"

"But—"

"Don't you 'but' your psychiatrist, mister!" Kagome yelled, rising to her knees with her hands on her waist.

Inuyasha blinked, and then frowned, realizing that this female just one up him.

"You're such a bitch!" was all Inuyasha would say.

Kagome suddenly had sparks coming out of her eyes, and started to electrocute Inuyasha.

"And you're an asshole!" Kagome yelled back.

They fought beside the car like a couple that had been married for years. They both yelled that they hate each other, that they never wanted to see each other again. After they were silent, both breathing hard from their yelling, they grabbed each other by the collar in unison, and pulled each other towards the other and their lips met half way.

Inuyasha and Kagome kissed each other fiercely; their hunger for each other was semi satisfied after a good twenty minutes of hungry kissing.

They were finally on the road, the wind blowing on their hot bodies. Kagome sighed in satisfaction, leaning back against her driver's seat. Inuyasha licked his lips, still tasting Kagome on them.

Inuyasha silently compared and contrasted the differences between his relationship with Kikyo and Kagome. Kikyo had been quiet, submissive, and unemotional. There were times when she could not touch Inuyasha, even though she said she loved him. She used the excuse that she was near that time of the month, even if he could not smell it on her.

With Kagome, there were not any similarities with his previous relationship. Kagome was fiery, passionate, loving, kind, and caring. She loved to touch him at every opportunity. Even if their relationship is only two months old, Inuyasha felt as if they had been together for eternity. She challenges him every chance she can, and she makes his temper rise in a way he never seen it.

Inuyasha looked over at Kagome and he itched to touch her. He mentally shook his head; no, it was a bit early for that, but for now… for now…

Inuyasha reached over, and took Kagome's right hand off the steering wheel, their hands touched, palm to palm, and fingers to fingers. It was their symbolic way of telling each other a secret that they only shared between themselves. I love you.

He laced his fingers with her fingers, and they stayed like that the whole ride home.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

After the dinner utensils were washed, dried, and put away, it was time to get down to business. Inuyasha lay on Kagome's couch while Kagome sat in her "psychiatrist" chair with her clipboard in her hand.

Inuyasha told Kagome everything about himself, about his life, everything. Kagome also talked about herself, her family, and her past relationships.

"So that Hoho guy—"

"Hojo." Kagome corrected.

"Whatever the bastard's name is, did not want to get married, you did, and he dumped you?"

"More like… um, set me aside while he played hooky with some girls."

"That moron."

Kagome could not help but agree. She shrugged her shoulders, and muttered, "But it's in the past."

"Indeed." Inuyasha said, shifting into a new position on the couch. "So what made you want to become a psychiatrist and listen to crazy people ramble about their problems?"

"Well, one, I wanted to help people, and two, I love to analyze peoples' minds, even when I was young."

Inuyasha nodded, and Kagome opened her mouth to say something, but then quickly closed it.

"What do you want to say?" Inuyasha asked.

"What… did you see when you had the mind fit earlier today?" Kagome hesitated.

"I saw what I don't remember when I transformed." Inuyasha explained, telling Kagome the whole story.

"What is the name of Kikyo's lover?"

Inuyasha thought back to his memory attack.

"She called him… Naraku."

Kagome was instantly filled with memories from the DNA laboratory when she met Rin for the first time…

Kagome got down to the first floor, and following Rin's instructions, she got to the cafeteria. However, she stopped abruptly when she saw the rude man with someone who looked almost exactly like her.

"You should know better than to be here." The rude man told the Kagome look-alike.

"Oh, you worry too much." She said.

"Of course I do. That bastard just escaped from the asylum!" the man said in a high whisper. "We are not safe to some up to the surface until he is put to death after the trial."

"Oh don't worry about Inuyasha. There is no way that they will find him innocent for my 'death.'"

Both the man and the woman laughed. Kagome held her breath and quietly slipped back to the elevator.

"Kagome, are you alright?" Inuyasha's voice brought Kagome out of her sudden flashback. "You look pale."

"Inuyasha, tomorrow, I think we better go to the hospital and pay a visit to Rin."

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

The trip to Tokyo Hospital was silent. Kagome drove, Sango sat in the passenger's seat, and Inuyasha rode in the back seat. Both Inuyasha and Sango wondered why Kagome wanted to take this trip to the hospital to visit Rin. Then again, they both wondered how she was doing.

As usual, they went up to the desk to ask the desk clerk where Rin was residing. They checked in, and went up to room 589.

When the trio entered, they saw a man with long, silver hair who looked a lot like Inuyasha. He looked up and frowned a bit when he saw them.

"What are you three doing here?" Sesshoumaru asked, almost demanding. He looked curiously at Inuyasha, but shrugged him off.

"Its okay, Sesshoumaru, they can visit if they want." The woman on the bed exclaimed.

"Rin, are you alright?" Kagome asked, looking Rin over.

Rin had a cast on her left arm, and stitches on her left side, close to her eye. Her lip looked swollen, and busted, but healing at the same time.

"I'm fine." Rin said, even though she did not look like it. "Inuyasha! How are you?"

Rin held up her arm, and they embraced.

"I haven't seen you in a while." Rin exclaimed, laughing at herself for saying something so obvious.

"I'm alright, I guess." Inuyasha said with a shrug.

"Um, Rin, do you mind if we ask you a few questions?" Sango finally spoke up, taking up the 'professional lawyer' tone.

"Um, sure." Rin agreed, hesitantly.

Sango nodded to Kagome, telling her that she can take over from there. Kagome agreed since she did not want her best friend to stress out in her condition.

"Rin-chan, do you know who the person was that I ran into? He has long black hair that is very messy-curly like he needs to brush it, and he has a very bad attitude."

"Yes, that would be Naraku; Rujai, Naraku." Rin said with a sigh.

Inuyasha and Kagome shot each other a sharp look, and Kagome turned back to Rin, trying to grasp the situation.

"Naraku…." Inuyasha said, unknowingly cutting Kagome off.

"Wasn't he the one in charge of Inuyasha's case, the one testing the DNA and all?" Kagome asked with a frown.

"Yes, that is the man." Rin exclaimed, nodding.

"Does he have any close friends, relatives, anything?" Kagome asked.

Rin frowned in thought, and looked beside her at Sesshoumaru.

"Does he?" she asked Sesshoumaru, since he is the boss on their level, also where Naraku works at.

"Yes," Sesshoumaru said, nodding. "His closest friend is Jenomaru, whose career is a lawyer, and he has two sisters, Kagura and Kana."

Sango, Kagome, and Inuyasha all looked at each other in shock; Jenomaru was supposed to have been Inuyasha's lawyer if Kagome did not talk Sango into taking his place. Kagura and Kana were the two detectives in charge of the case!

"I smell a conspiracy." Sango said, crossing her arms. "And it reeks!"

"I agree, Sango-chan, but how are we going to prove it?" Kagome asked, and then both looked at Rin.

"I have one more question for you," Sango began. "Who did this to you?"

Rin looked frightened, and she threw her gaze to the window on her right.

"No one." She quickly answered, which left everyone to the conclusion that it was not true. Just looking at the state Rin was in made anyone know that she did not fall down the stairs.

"I tried getting her to tell me for the longest time." Sesshoumaru said with a dark look. "And she still remains closed-mouthed."

"Were you threatened by that person?" Sango asked.

Rin nodded.

"Please, Rin-chan," Kagome begged. "We only want to help you."

Rin shook her head, still not talking anymore.

"We have also been threatened." Kagome continued. "Yet, we still continue to help Inuyasha. Don't you think he deserves that much?"

Rin looked at Inuyasha with a very apologetic look in her eyes. They understood the silent exchange between them, and Inuyasha nodded.

"Its okay, Kagome." Inuyasha said, shaking his head, not with regret, but to tell her to stop pressing Rin into talking. "We would only be putting her in more danger if we forced her to talk."

Kagome looked saddened, and her gaze downcast.

"Please get better, Rin-chan." Kagome said with a sad smile. "Don't worry; we will do what we can; thank you for all you have done."

Rin nodded, not bearing to look at anyone in the trio. Sango, however, frowned in anger, and fisted her hands.

"How dare you!" she yelled, making Rin jump. "We hardly know Inuyasha, and we still help him even after all that has happened to us!"

"Sango-chan!" Kagome scolded, trying to pull her friend towards the door.

"My fiancée almost died!" Sango continued to yell, not even getting scared when Sesshoumaru stood up. "Kagome was almost killed by some guy in a black car! You should see her car right now! It's a miracle she even survived!"

By this time, Inuyasha was holding his brother back to keep him from attacking the ranting Sango.

"Kagome had to give up her own son to her brother so he would not be in harm's way! Both of us have stuck our necks out for Inuyasha, and we still stay with him despite all of our hardships! How dare you sit there in that bed when we are risking our lives for Inuyasha, and he is supposed to be your brother-in-law!"

Sango suddenly stopped ranting, and broke down crying as she placed a hand over her flat stomach. Everyone looked at her, bewildered, as she cried.

"Kagome…" Sango sobbed, clinching her stomach. "I think something is wrong with my child!"

Ice started to flow in Kagome's veins as she caught her friend when Sango fell. Sango continued to sob, holding her lower abdomen.

"Kagome, my baby!" Sango cried again. "Please, don't let my baby die!"

"Inuyasha, please help me carry her!" Kagome cried helplessly to him. "We need to get her to the maternity level!"

Inuyasha quickly ran over to Sango's side, scooped her up in his arms, carrying her bridal style out the door.

"It hurts!" Sango cried again. "Please don't die, baby, please don't die!"

Kagome looked back at the bewildered couple, quickly rushing to the door.

"Please get well soon, Rin-chan!" Kagome exclaimed, and then ran out the door.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

In the waiting room, on the maternity level, Inuyasha and Kagome waited impatiently for three hours for some news about Sango. Kagome sat in a chair with her face in her hands while Inuyasha paced the floor like an expecting father.

Sango came back out, looking relieved and worried at the same time. Instantly she was bombarded with questions from her two friends.

"Hold on, hold on." Sango patiently said, holding up her two hands to tell them to stop. "The doctor said that my reaction was brought on by stress. He told me to take it easy, and don't get too worked up."

"But you're still pregnant?" Kagome asked worriedly.

"Yes, I am."

Kagome heaved a sigh of relief, holding a hand to her heart.

"Well, I'm so hungry I can eat a whole restaurant dry." Sango laughed.

Kagome had a suspicion that Sango was forcing most of her cheeriness, but Kagome smiled anyway.

"Okay, let's go to my house and we'll eat a whole lot of food."

"No, its okay, Kagome-chan." Sango exclaimed tiredly. "But thank you for the offer. I need to go home and rest."

After Kagome dropped Sango off at her house, she and Inuyasha went back to her apartment, settling for small T.V. dinners for supper.

"Do you think Sango is still pregnant?" Kagome asked, stabbing a carrot with her fork. "She seemed pretty upset."

"If she miscarried then the doctors would have kept her at the hospital, right?"

"I think so."

They were silent practically all night until they decided to sleep. Inuyasha gathered the blankets around the couch that he usually sleeps on, and he turned to Kagome.

"Good night." He said.

"Good night." Kagome replied, nodding to him.

They stared at each other for an unknown amount of minutes; the tension between them was rising….

Inuyasha had no idea how it happened; he was pressed up against Kagome as she was pressed up against the wall. They moved to her bedroom, kissing each other hungrily, both breathing rapidly, not caring if they could not breathe.

Sensations were all around them, their hands moved all over each other's bodies, their lips met, their lips went to other places on each other that made them drown in delightful pleasure. Inuyasha vaguely heard their hard-breathing conversation as they rolled over each other.

"Are you sure about this?"

More kissing, hands touching ever where, chests rapidly moving.

"I've never been so sure about this than anything in my life."

They practically tore each other's clothing off, kissing deeply, touching intimately. Inuyasha touched Kagome in places he never thought existed, and her moaning response told him he was doing the right thing.

It was as if he was doing this for the first time; they were trembling, both acting like nervous teenagers instead of adults. Inuyasha had never experienced as something as heavenly as this; it was with Kagome, not Kikyo.

"Inuyasha…"

The way she breathed his name sent shivers of pleasure up his spine, making him respond to her cries even more. It was nothing like this with Kikyo; it was sex with her.

This was love, and incredible love that consumed him, devoured him, and he let it happen. His soul cried out for her, and never once in his life had it cried out for any woman.

Their lips and flesh continued to touch, his lips, mouth, and hands became acquainted with her body, memorizing every inch of her, and the sound of her voice, filling his mind. He could not get enough of her; she was so soft, practically breakable, and he felt like a virgin once again, giving himself to her.

"You're trembling…"

They breathed rapidly, kissing fiercely.

"You are too."

"I've never… done this…"

"I know, and even though I have… I'm sorry you're not my first…."

She touched his hand, holding it in her own. Even the smallest touch like that sent thrills through their bodies.

"It's okay. Even though you have, this is your first time with me, so it's like you're first time."

They caressed each other, the pain in his heart and soul was healing with every stroke. How can a woman hold this much power? How can anything like this feel so good and right?

"Inuyasha…"

Their eyes met; Inuyasha was unaware that they were both facing each other, naked, in a very intimate position. They were breathing hard, and he felt the most wondrous sensation he had ever felt. Her eyes were furrowed a bit, and she squeaked in her throat.

He heaved a sigh, finally feeling her inside with himself. She felt so wonderful it made him cry out like a madman whom did not have any water for years.

"Ka…go…me…."

She wiggled, submitting beneath him, giving him begging moans that made him move faster. There flesh moved together through sheets of perspiration.

"Never… have I felt… anything like this…."

A moaned response, lips meeting, they held on desperately to each other. She cried his name again, and at that moment he was healed from the scars in his life. His childhood, his ex-lover's betrayal, everything; and all that filled the holes were her.

"Please, say my name again…"

She moaned, arching up to him.

"Inuyasha…"

"Please… again…"

"Inuyasha."

"Again…"

"Inuyasha!"

They both crashed into each other, their worlds crashing together, blending their souls together. Oh, sweet, sweet peace! His Angel of Peace.

Now all that existed in his life was her; no one else.

AN: About the whole 'Kagome and Inuyasha fighting' thing, it is actually psychologically proven that if a couple that fights a lot, they will grow stronger together. My main reason why Kagome and Inuyasha belong together. Their fighting is the "perfect fighting" because they fight all the time, but they always forgive each other. That sort of fighting is the good fighting.
