Love is Never Easy: Chapter 10
The Story Is Told
Kagome didn't go to school the next day, neither did Kikyo, which meant rumors flew like crazy. It was Thursday so Kagome still had a chance to make an appearance, but something told Inuyasha he was going to have to hunt her down to get anything out of her. During school he was moping around, and in spite of Sango and Miroku's efforts to keep his mind focus on school he still only thought of Kagome. At lunch he resolved to go see her after school.
Kagome on the other hand could be found huddle in a little ball in the corner of her room. She had been there since last night, not getting a wink of sleep. Aya had stopped by on occasion and tried to coax Kagome out of her corner but to no avail. 'He's coming, I can't believe he's coming. There is no way I can face him...not again.' were her only thoughts. If anytime was good for Inuyasha to appear that would be now. She caught a glimpse of her clock. 3:00 pm. School was just getting out. She heard a knock on her door, felt the aura of a demon, a full one. She stiffened as she heard more knocks then the door open. She blacked out.
Inuyasha arrived at Kagome's house at 3:15. He knocked on the door...no answer...knocked again..no answer. Thinking it was strange that no one was home he reached for the doorknob and found the door to be slightly open. 'This isn't right, the door is always firmly closed.' Inuyasha stepped inside, sniffed, and covered his nose in disgust. "Ah, man. It smells like Sesshoumaru in here...but why?" Inuyasha followed the scent directly up to Kagome's room. He threw open the door and looked around. The scent of Kagome and that of Sesshoumaru were mixed in this room. 'But why? Why would he take Kagome? .. Only one way to find out. Inuyasha hurried outside, got in his car, and headed home.
*Meanwhile...*
"You kid-napped her!" "You said you wanted to speak with her but she was asleep!" For once in his life, besides the time he met Rin, Sesshoumaru was losing his cool. "That was no excuse to just take her! You should no better then that." "It's not like it would matter." Rin looked at him. "Huh?" "I found this in her room next to her." Sesshoumaru handed Rin an envelope labeled 'Kagome'. "What's this?" "Read it. It might explain a few things." Rin looked at Sessy, then the envelope, then Sessy, and back to the envelope before taking out the letter in held.
*three minutes later* "OHMYGOD!! How can someone do that?! And to their own child! No wounder why she doesn't trusty people!" Sesshoumaru sighed, Rin was a handful.
Kagome cringed and slowly started to wake up. 'Where am I? ... I'm on something soft...it's warm...like..a-a bed. But not mine.' She started register voices and one was shouting, 'other people are here.' Kagome sat up and put her hand on her head. "Oh...my head." Rin looked over at Kagome who was on her bed. "Oh my. You awake.", she said and hurried over to Kagome's side. "I'm terribly sorry for the rudeness of my fiancé, but I did wish to speak with you." Kagome vision cleared in a moment and she looked from the girl next to her to the guy standing across the room. He had a cold, emotionless face, silver hair, golden eyes...thenit hit her. "Sesshoumaru! Then you must be Rin!" Rin clapped her hands together and smiled "You do remember me!" Kagome nodded, "So it was Sesshoumaru that came into my house." Rin nodded and Kagome sighed in relief. "Oh thank god."
"Kagome, I know it shouldn't be any of my business. But what's going on between You and Inuyasha. And this." Rin showed her the letter. "W-where d-d-did you g-get t-that?", Kagome asked nervously. "Sesshoumaru found it when he got you...is this true?" Kagome nodded. "But you've been back for almost two weeks and you've been living alone?" "Ya." "And I suppose Inuyasha doesn't know about this?" Kagome shook her head. "I haven't told him yet...I wasn't planning on telling him. I knew he'd get protective and..and I just didn't want to trouble him." "But kagome, Inuyasha loves you. He probably wont admit to it but he really cares about you...and it was getting sort of creepy." Kagome looked at her, "what do you mean?" "Here follow me."
Rin walked out and Kagome followed her. Sesshoumaru sighed and figured it was none of his business and went to his own room. Rin led Kagome quite a ways. "I had forgotten how big this place was." "You'll get use to it again." "So where are we going?" "Inuyasha's room. ..oh here we are, silly me." Rin opened the door and led Kagome inside. "Its dark." "I'm about to turn on the light, brace yourself." Rin flicked the switch turning on the lights and Kagome gasped. The walls were littering with articles, paper cut-outs, pictures, readings, all on temples. "What...What is this?" "Inuyasha has spent the bast ten years, since the hour you left, trying to find you. He wanted to know if you were okay, he wanted to make sure you were coming back to him. If you were afraid of troubling Inuyasha, it's a little to late."
Kagome looked along the wall and an article printed from the internet caught her sight. "He got it." "Excuse me?" "He found me he just never knew it. If he would have researched this one a little more he would have got it...he would have even found out what happened there."Kagome feel silent ...There was a loud crash "SESSHOUMARU!" "...well. It seems Inuyasha's home." , Rin said cheerily. Kagome looked around frantically. "What's the quickest why out of here?" Rin looked at her. "What do you mean?" "Rin it was really great seeing you again, but I'm just not ready to face Inuyasha. Not yet anyways." Rin looked at her unsure for a minute but then reached into her pocket and took out keys, "We'll take the jag." "We'll?!" Rin was already out the door, "Hurry up. We don't have much time." Kagome sighed and followed Rin.
*
Inuyasha stormed into Sessy's room. "Where is she?!" Sessy didn't take his eyes off the T.V. "Have some respect little brother." "Fuck respect. Where is Kagome?!" "Your wench? With Rin, they were heading towards your room last but they are gone probably gone now. I think they took the jag. Now get out of my room." Inuyasha sheepishly nodded and left closing the door behind. Well, didn't he feel like an idiot. He went to his room and sure enough he could smell Kagome's scent there. He looked around. They had left a few minutes ago. He sighed and turned his attention to the floor, he was never going to find out what happened. That's when he noticed the paper on the ground, it was from his wall.
He picked it up and looked at it, on of his research over the years, but what was this doing off the wall. 'Kagome must have been looking at it I can smell her scent on here...I wonder, this gave an inclination to a temple, but I thought it was so far off base..' Inuyasha sat down at his computer and logged onto the internet bringing up the page where he had gotten the print out from. He had read through this only once and didn't think anything of it therefore disregarding it, but there had to be something behind it. He read over the page again, still nothing. It hinted towards a temple in the mountains, but it gave no name, no description, nothing. But there had to be something, it didn't matter how many times he read it there was nothing. 'So why did she look at this one?'
He stared at it over and over trying to figure out something. "It's probably just a coincidence.", he said. As if trying to reassure himself as there was no one else around. He looked outside at the cherry blossom trees that were in full bloom and smiled. "Kagome's favorite tree was the sakura..." A light blue light emmited from his computer screen. He turned to see a vortex coming out of his computer(weird eh?). "What the.."
**
"Really? You get there through portals?" "That's one way. And there are several portals, when even opens up if you say the password while at a certain web page. There are several ways, it's just the more conventional way." "How did you get there?" "A train actually." "So...can you tell me what happened? At the temple I mean." Kagome fell silent. "Inuyasha told you Naraku was mentioned." Rin nodded. Kagome sighed. "I was very...emotional when I first got there because I...well..I missed Inuyasha. Since my emotions were out of control so were my powers, and no one was able to get close enough to me except the high priestess Keade."
~
An old woman stepped outside as she faced others of high standing. "Any luck Kaede-sama?", one spoke. "The girl has power, I will give her that. Wards have been set up so she will not effect anything outside..hopefully." "May I try?" Piped a young voice. The others mumbled and parted presenting a small boy about the age of eight. "It is highly dangerous in there child. Are you certain you can calm the girl?", Kaede questioned. The boy nodded. "Very well. Go inside." The boy smiled and entered the room.
"Another one?!", a girl said. The room started to shake. "I said I refuse! Not until I can see him!" "You too?" The girl looked up at him and there eyes connected, that said it all. The room started shaking and the girl calmed herself as well as her powers. The boy smiled and took a seat next to her. "We share the same pain. Being parted from the one's we love." Kagome sat silently watching him. "You look like her. The girl I love. I came her to train so I can protect her." "I'm here so I wont hurt anyone protecting him when he can't defend himself because of me." "I'm Onigumo." "My name's Kagome." "Why don't we be friends Kagome? We can help each." Kagome looked at him, "You promise you'll never leave me? People leave me" The boy smiled, "I promise." "Then I'll be your friend."
~
"We became the best of friends and I laid all my trust in him. I thought we shared the same pain. Four years went by, four years I trusted him before he turned on me."
~
"HYYAAHH! HAH!" The wooden figures shattered into pieces and a boy in the door clapped. "Very good Kagome." "Oh, Onigumo. You scared me. But I thought you were watching." "Your third sight has been growing Kagome, just as you have." Kagome smiled, but she felt a little creeped out. Over the past month she had a feeling that everything he said had an under lying meaning. "Well it seems like you have been watching me a lot recently Onigumo. Is there something you wish to speak about?" The young boy blushed slightly, "can we go for a walk?" Kagome nodded and Onigumo led the way.
They walked through the gardens on the grounds. "I always love walking through here." , Kagome said with a smile. "I know. ... Kagome, there has been something I have been meaning to tell you for sometime now." "Yes, Onigumo?" "Remember when I said that I was here to defend the girl that I loved?" Kagome nodded. "Well my love has changed. True whilst I did once love my old friend, I know love you Kagome." Kagome looked at him utterly shocked. "Onigumo...I...I'm sorry. While your love might have changed, I will always love Inuyasha." "But he's is neither a human nor demon! He's probably forgotten about you, he's a half-breed for Kami's sake." Kagome's eyes narrowed, "Watch what you saw about Inuyasha, Onigumo. I'm sorry, but my feelings for you shall never reach beyond friendship and I will forever love Inuyasha."
Onigumo glared at her, "If it's a demon you want it will be a demon you get!" Onigumo ran off. "Onigumo! Wait!", Kagome cried, but he kept moving.
~
"He disappeared. My anger at him for not only insulting Inuyasha but suggesting I betray him as well assisted in my training, but hindered my sight. Then two weeks later he reappeared, not as Onigumo, but the evil, cruel Naraku who came seeking me or revenge.
~
Wood fell to the ground. "Kagome, that is the third dojo ye have shattered this week." The girl sighed and pushed her raven hair behind her ear. "I'm sorry Kaede-sama, I guess I'm still angry and worried about Onigumo, it has been two weeks since he ran off." "Ye should stop worrying child." "I know Kaede-smama, put I can't help but worry." At the moment a man ran up, dressed in the robes of a second level fighter. "Kaede-sama, we are being attacked!", he said. "Who would attack this temple?", Kaede questioned.
"Fear not old women, I'm only here for the girl.", a deep, cold voice spoke. A man with trailing black hair and piercing black eyes that showed no warmth fell from the sky landing softly on the ground. "Onigumo? Is that you?", Kagome shouted. They locked eyes and Kagome face turned pale and frightened. She took a step back, "Y-your not Onigumo..." The man laughed, "That pathetic excuse for a living creature, no. He sacrificed his body to demons to gain power and give you what you are so deeply interested in, a demon. You may call me Naraku." Kagome legs collapsed under her, this guy sent a chill down her spine. "It doesn't matter", she spoke harshly, "Human, demon. Onigumo, Naraku. You can be and call yourself whatever you want, I'll never love you! My heart belongs to Inuyasha, and I'll never break our promise the way Onigumo broke his!" "Well the next time your love sees you then, you'll be in a casket. Die Wench!"
~
"He attacked me head on. Punches, kicks, claws. He tore my flesh and bruised my body. But I only thought of Inuyasha the entire time. He told me that he'd spare my life if I would go with him. I still refused. His next words though, the reached me. He said, 'Then you shall break you promise to your love for you shall die.' Something Inside me changed and the next thing I knew I was standing and Naraku was on the ground beaten. The wounds on my body had left and appeared on him. I had the urge to kill, I was going to kill him. Then he disappeared. I spent the next few months in morning. Onigumo was such a nice boy, tainted by an unrequited love. I feared that would happen to me. That's why I never really let Inuyasha in. Why I never told him anything. Cause what if would have left me, even a promise can't keep people near me."
