Rumors And Love
Chapter 13: Unsuspectingly Falling
The curtain of her window was pulled back causing the suns rays to shine on her face. Kagome shielded her eyes with the back of her hand as she slowly opened them. A tantalizing smell was lurking around. She swung her feet around, and put them on the carpeted floor.
"Something smells good." She got up, and tapped on Inuyasha's door. "Inuyasha, are you up?" She waited for a response; however she did not get one. "I'm opening the door in two seconds if you don't respond." She opened the door, but the room was empty. "Maybe he stayed on the couch all night."
Thumps were heard as she came down the stairs. "Mom, is Inuyasha awake yet?"
"Inuyasha?" She turned to her daughter. "He isn't sleeping upstairs?"
Kagome stopped her steps. "No. I thought he was sleeping on the couch. I checked in his room, and he wasn't there." She looked her mom in the eye. "You don't think he left us do you? He said he wouldn't leave for another five or six days."
"I don't know, honey. Why don't you look around the house for him some more?"
"Mom, if he was here, he would have been down the moment he smelled breakfast."
"Well, I'm sure he'll be back soon. So don't you worry about it."
Kagome nodded slowly, but she had a nagging feeling that he wasn't coming back like her mother's comforting words said.
Inuyasha spotted his home which he had lived in his whole life excuding the last week and a half. He walked up to his porch and opened the old door.
"It's good to be home," he sighed. He walked over to the foot of the stairs, and stood there remembering when he first met Kagome. She had fallen down the last couple stairs. He chuckled lightly. "Stupid girl." He took his time as he made his way up the rotting staircase.
It was now eight o' clock, and Inuyasha still had not come back. "Mom, he's not back yet, and I don't think he's coming back!" she cried. "Mom, what if he's hurt?"
"I think we should give him until tomorrow, and if he's not back we'll go out looking for him."
"Alright," she responded quietly. Sota was pretty upset as well. After all, Inuyasha was his hero. Now that he's gone, Sota has been moping around the house.
"Kagome, I think you should be getting to bed."
"I think I'm going to stay up, and wait for him if he decides to come back."
Her mother sighed deeply. "Very well. But your limit is midnight, do you hear me?"
"Yes, I promise."
"Come now, Sota. You should have been in bed a while ago." Mrs. Higurashi placed a hand on the boy's back and lightly pushed him forward toward the staircase.
Kagome watched them walk up the stairs, and she rested her chin on the top of the couch while she stared out the window longing for his return. 'Inuyasha please come back to me. I don't think I can live without you.' She gasped at her thoughts. 'Could I possibly be in love with.... Yes.' She smiled. 'I must have unsuspectingly been falling in love with him over this period of time. I never even noticed until now.'
She glanced at the clock it read 11:30. She had been watching for a few hours now. "Oh, Inuyasha I just hope you didn't go back." She let her head sink into the cushion. "I bet that's where he went. I have to go get him. They're planning on knocking his home down this week. If he's in it, I'll never forgive myself." She shook her head as a few tears dropped. "Why did you leave me?" She wiped away some tears. "Can I even bring you back? What if you don't want to come back to me? What if I really mean nothing to you?" A bunch of questions started rushing through her mind. "Maybe I should bring Miroku. I bet he'd listen to him over me any day. After all, I'm just a 'stupid wench.'"
It was finally morning, and Kagome opened her eyes. She felt something warm around her. It was a blanket. She jumped up. "Inuyasha?"
"No, dear. Inuyasha seems to have not come back yet."
"What?" She stood up. "I have to go find him."
"Isn't that a little rash, honey? You have no idea where to look."
"That's not true." Kagome clenched her fist. "I know exactly where he is."
"Well, at least have some breakfast first."
"I don't have time for that." She grabbed a coat, and opened the door. "I'll be back in a while. I can't say exactly when."
Her mother nodded. "I understand."
Kagome closed the door behind her as she pulled out her cell phone. She punched in some numbers, and it started to ring. A groggy voice was heard on the other line. "Yeah?"
"Miroku, it's Kagome. Get up, and get dressed." She jumped in her car, and started it up. She pulled out of the driveway, and started driving down the street. "I'm coming to pick you up."
"What the heck are you talking about? And do you have any idea what time it is?"
"Yeah, it's eight. You have a problem with it?"
"Actually, I do," he said dryly. "Can't you call back later, Kagome?"
"Miroku, this is important. Now get up! Inuyasha left two days ago, and I think he went back to his home. I need you to go talk to him for me."
Miroku jumped up at this. "Are you serious? He went back? But they're knocking that whole street down today."
Kagome's car could be heard as it screeched at a red light. "WHAT?! I thought they were doing it later this week!"
"No, it's today. I'm sure of it. I'm getting up right now, so don't worry. I'll be dressed and ready by the time you get here. See you in a few."
"Okay, bye." She folded her phone and placed it in her purse beside her. "Just hang in there, Inuyasha. We're coming."
She pulled into his driveway, and honked her horn. The door opened, and Miroku came hopping outside with a piece of toast hanging out of his mouth as he tried to put his shoe on. Kagome sighed, and slapped her forehead. "Come on, you can do that in the car."
He jumped in beside her. "So what are you waiting for, huh? Let's go. We haven't a moment to waist."
"Shut up, Miroku. That's my line." She pulled off and sped down the road with only thoughts of getting to Inuyasha in time. "Do you think he'll be alright when we get there?"
"I really hope so, lady Kagome."
Inuyasha opened his eyes to a loud sound outside. "What the heck?" He looked out a window to see a large machine across the street. It was destroying the house. Inuyasha's eyes widened as they turned it around, and started rolling over to his yard. All of the homes to left of his and across the street were destroyed. "NO!" He ran down the stairs as fast as his legs would allow, and threw the door open. He ran into the yard with a menacing look on his face.
Miroku and Kagome pulled up to the street. However, it had a sign blocking the way. "Come on, Miroku." She jumped out of the car followed by him, and sprinted down the street. She looked around her as she ran. All of the homes that were there before, were in piles on the ground. 'Please don't let me be too late.'
They finally caught sight of his home, and a wave of relief came over her when she saw the house still standing. She could see Inuyasha out in the yard.
"Get out of the way, demon!" a man shouted.
"Never," he snarled in response. "I will not let you destroy my home!"
"Move her on in, boys! He won't want to still be standing there once we start hitting the place."
"But sir," one man replied. "He could be seriously injured."
"Aw, who cares if he does? I'm sure no one knows about this guy. No one would miss him if he died."
Inuyasha growled. "I'll rip your head off before you can even move that giant scrap of metal!"
A siren was heard a couple police cars pulled up, and surrounded the house. The police officer from before stepped out from a car. "Up to no good again already, eh?" He pulled out a gun, and pointed it at the furious hanyou. "Move aside, son. If you do, it will save you from serious consequences."
"Never," he growled again. Inuyasha narrowed his eyes dangerously at the man as he sprinted forward with his claws extended. "I'll kill you!!!"
Kagome and Miroku were a few feet away from the yard. "Inuyasha!" she screamed.
Inuyasha stopped and looked at her. His furious expression calmed at the sight of her face. "Kagome? What are you doing here?"
Her eyes widened in horror at what happened next.
"Now's our chance!" the lead officer yelled. "Fire!" A single gun shot was heard as it made contact with Inuyasha's back. He fell to the ground, and his blood made a pool around his body.
Kagome's heart tightened as she saw what him fall. She couldn't breathe. "Inuyasha, no!" she cried. She bent down over him. She took his head, and laid it in her lap. "NO!" she screamed again as tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
The hanyou opened his golden eyes to look at her. "Kagome."
"Huh?" She saw his eyes open. "Inuyasha, you're alive!"
"Kagome."
"Shh, don't talk," she said as she stroked his head while weaving her fingers through his long hair. "You'll be okay. I promise you."
Inuyasha smiled a little. "Didn't I tell you before not to cry? It just doesn't suit you at all." He winced in pain.
"But I can't help it!" she cried harder.
"But you're so beautiful when you smile."
"Oh Inuyasha, you mean everything to me. If I lose you, nothing else has any meaning. Inuyasha, I....I love you."
His eyes widened as the realization hit him. 'She loves me.' He looked in her eyes which were still flooded with tears.
"Don't die do you hear me? I'll never forgive you otherwise." She tried to force a smile on her face.
"Kagome?"
"Yes?"
"I think I was in love with you the first time we met. You were constantly in my head. But when I saw you with Koga, and even after his death you said you wanted him back," he paused. "I thought you wanted to be with him. I couldn't handle it, so I left. And now....And now that you've said you love me. You've made me so happy."
Kagome nodded.
"I could die peacefully now. But, I don't want to die yet. I want to be with you."
Some fresh tears appeared in her eyes at his words.
Miroku stepped up from behind them. "Hey, buddy."
"So you brought the lecher, eh?"
Miroku smiled. "You were always a smart ass." He bent down to Inuyasha's level. "I already called for an ambulance, so hang in there a little longer. Because if you die here, I swear I'm going to chase you into the after life and beat the crap out of you."
This made Inuyasha smile. 'I truly do have real friends.' He slowly closed his eyes as darkness enveloped him.
Uh oh! A cliffhanger! What are we going to do now? REVIEW!!! It's my birthday remember, so I think you should give me lots of 'em! Yay! But this chapter was so sad! sniff
