Neli-love thanks for the push to stop procrastinating.
'You look like Kikyo but you're not her and yet you worried me greatly when you passed out and felt so cold in my arms. I think that I care-' his train of though was cut off when Kagome asked a question that shattered his world, "Inuyasha, how do you know Kikyo?"
Inuyasha's head snapped forward and he stared into Kagome's serious eyes with his own stunned golden orbs. "What did you say?" he asked in a whisper of disbelief. Kagome looked away then swallowed the lump in her throat and looked back at him the repeated, "how do you Kikyo?" The air grew tenser by the second as they simply stared at each other in silent questioning.
Inuyasha felt like a great weight had been placed on his chest as the questioned rang in his head nonstop, mocking him and tormenting him. "I…" was all that he said before the full sentence sunk in and instead of shock anger filled him, unreasonable and hot anger. His eyes lost their glazed look and in a swift motion he grabbed Kagome and practically slammed her against the wall of the building before hissing out, "how do you know Kikyo!"
"Inuyasha…Inuyasha, you're hurting me!" Kagome gasped out the rough cement scratched her back and his clawed hands dug deeper into her flesh. "Answer me!" Inuyasha demanded as he roughly shook the stunned girl. A yell was heard followed by hurried footsteps. Inuyasha felt the collar of his jacket being grabbed before he was roughly pulled back and thrown to the ground. "Didn't you learn your lesson son?" asked an irritated voice from above him. Inuyasha felt the cold steel of handcuffs lock around his wrists for the second time that night.
"Oh my god Kagome!" a voice cried form the door of the building. Inuyasha was pulled up just in time to see Kagome sitting on the ground with an older woman kneeling beside her with concern on her wrinkled face. The older woman turned her head and immediately her concern turned to hot anger as her eyes landed on the apprehended Inuyasha. His eyes slid to the side in discomfort and he encountered the scowling face of one of the cops he had seen earlier at the station, he recognized the man even though he was out of uniform.
"Officer, I'm so glad that you are here, what happened?" asked the older woman Kaede, as she helped her niece up and closer to the door of the apartment building. "Well I was going to stop by to make sure that the little lady got home alright, but when I turned the corner I saw this young man manhandling her. I rushed over and pulled him off of her, but I'm afraid that I might have gotten here a little too late, she looks a bit traumatized," the cop responded as the gray in his hair glowed lightly under the streetlight.
Kaede glared at Inuyasha then said, "I'm glad that were able to help her. I don't know what I would have done if she had been hurt again." "It's no problem ma'am but I believe that I must be off to the station and put this young man where he belongs," the officer said sternly as he began to walk away. "Wait!" Kagome exclaimed suddenly, surprising her aunt, Inuyasha, and the officer. "Please let him go, it was my fault that he attacked," 'I shouldn't have sought the truth like that' Kagome added the last part as a bitter scold to herself.
"Kagome are you sure you're not just covering for him?" asked the older woman as she surveyed her niece's glazed eyes. "I'm sure, please let him go home. I'm unharmed, everything is alright," Kagome replied after a moments hesitation as she composed herself and stood up. The cop looked at her doubtfully but released Inuyasha anyway then turned to the ladies. "Alright then sir I think you better go home, ladies I will escort you upstairs since I need to talk to you both." Kaede nodded and began to lead her niece inside without sparing a second glance at Inuyasha.
Once all three disappeared into the apartment building Inuyasha was left alone with his thoughts. "What the hell is going on here? How does Kagome know Kikyo? Are they connected somehow and Kagome has simply been hiding it from me?" His questions went unanswered as they filled the air then vanished. He sighed and promised himself to confront Kagome the next day then after a brief glance at the only lit window in the building he walked off back home.
Inside the apartment building Kaede had settled down in the living room while the young officer sat across form him and Kagome stood by the window looking into the night. After a worried glance at the girl she turned back to the man and asked, "What is it that you wished to discuss Mr…" "Oh, I'm terribly sorry, my name is Detective Silva. I work closely with Detectives Beckford and Marcus, consequently I am in charge of your safety from Naraku." As his words sunk in Kagome stiffened and turned.
"That's the reason why you came then, to make sure that Inuyasha wasn't in the same league as Naraku," Kagome accused lightly. "It's for your safety miss Higurashi," Detective Silva reasoned. Kagome sighed and nodded in understanding then asked, "has anything new resurfaced?" "I do not wish to alarm you with mere rumors so it's best that I keep those details to myself."
"But like you said, it's for my own safety, I want to know what I have to look out for. Please tell me anything you know," Kagome insisted. Detective Silva nodded and said, "He has been spotted by people in your hometown. Thankfully that is far away plus the rumors have not been confirmed. All of his relatives are in custody and thus cannot offer him help and we are keeping close tabs on all of his acquaintances. We have followed up every lead on his possible whereabouts and have emerged with nothing, I'm sorry."
Kaede and Kagome sighed, half in relief and half in worry. "But not to worry, we are confident that we will find him since at least we know his identity, thanks to you miss Higurashi," Detective Silva said with a charming smile that displayed almost all of his teeth in a goofy way. His smile was so infectious that both women couldn't help but smile and relax slightly. He looked around the living room and his smile faded when they landed on the picture of the cute little redhead, Shippo.
"Does that child live with you?" asked the detective in a voice that said he dreaded a positive answer. "Yes, is there a problem?" Kaede asked hesitantly as she heard his tone. "I don't understand why this was not mentioned to me." "What's the matter?" asked Kagome with a hint of fear as she saw his eyes stray to the picture again. "There is something that I did not mention because I didn't think that you knew the child."
"Please just explain what you mean," Kaede asked a little impatiently, but mostly afraid. "You must know the story about his parents going missing," he stated and saw both nod their heads. He sighed and looked too tired even for his seemingly young age then continued. "As you also know it was rumored that got involved with shady people, unfortunately we found a connection between those people and Naraku. Naraku was very involved with those people; as a matter of fact he was a leader of that…organization. Regrettably, Naraku was wronged so to speak and thus they had to pay."
"Are you saying…"Kaede stopped as the realized what he was saying. "That's right, they were killed, we found their bodies not to long ago. I'm afraid the child is now an orphan, I'm…" he was cut off by a gasp coming from the hall. All three whipped around and stood shocked as they encountered a broken little redhead with tear-filled green eyes staring back at them.
TBC There you go, I feel like an asshole for doing that to Shippo, but the plot must thicken right? Hope you liked this chapter. Please review.
