Chapter 10

In I Go!


InuYasha watched as Kagome handed Degujiru whatever she had been writing. Degujiru scanned it before his face became twisted with rage. He crumbled the paper up before throwing it into a small fire in a mini fireplace against one wall. The paper quickly disintegrated. Degujiru jumped up and stormed over to Kagome before slapping her roughly on the cheek. Kagome let out a sharp yelp before toppling over in her chair and collapsing to the ground. InuYasha growled softly. How dare Degujiru hit his Kagome?!

Degujiru, still fuming, clomped out of the room, slamming the door behind him. It took a moment for InuYasha to realize this before his mind began to create a plan to get him in and Kagome out.

After waiting half an hour, listening to Degujiru stop around whatever was down stairs, InuYasha finally decided to make his move.


Once the man had left and Kagome was sure he wouldn't return, Kagome tried to get up but failed. She was too weak and with the chair still tied to her back, it was very awkward. And to make matters worse, when she had fallen she had scraped her head against the cold hard cement, causing much pain and bleeding. And to add to that she had also scraped up her already lacrosse injured leg against the cement.

A rap at the window nearby caused Kagome to look up. And when she did, her eyes met up with another pair of golden ones. The two eyes stared at each other when suddenly InuYasha broke the gaze to work on breaking the lock. But not before he smiled reassuringly at her.

"InuYasha..." Kagome whispered as she continued to watch him. "InuYasha... you've come for me... I'm saved..."


InuYasha, even though his chest still hurt from the explosion before, quickly jumped up to a nearby tree which stretched perfectly out to the window. Praying that the slim branch would hold his sudden weight, he struggled to get the window open, finding it locked. Using his sharp claws, he rapped at the window, trying to get Kagome's attention. The girl's head snapped upward at the sound he made and their eyes collided. They stared for a minute at each other before InuYasha smiled and began to work on the lock.


Kagome watched InuYasha work for who knows how long. And finally, the satisfying click that she had been waiting for, the fact that the window was open and she was safe, came.

InuYasha leapt in through the open window, rushing forward and quickly cutting Kagome from the chair. As soon as she was detached from it, InuYasha wrapped his arms and pulled Kagome to him, taking deep breaths of her scent and burying his head in her hair.

Kagome curled in his arms, loving the feel of being there, and knowing the fact that she was safe in these strong arms. She felt InuYasha sniff at her neck and his breath on her skin sent shivers down her spine.

But Kagome knew things would have to end sooner or later. InuYasha quickly pulled her away from him and swept her up bridal style, being careful not to scratch her or jolt her weak leg.

"Comfortable?" InuYasha said, smirking as Kagome rested her head against InuYasha's chest, closing her eyes.

She peeked out from under her eyelids before smiling and nodding, "Uh-huh."

"Good," InuYasha quickly stepped over to the window and crouched low, ready to leap back out the window. "Now Kagome," he said, just before he leapt from the moldy desk that sat beneath the windowsill, "Hold on tight. It's going to be a bumpy ride."

Kagome nodded and wrapped her arms around his neck even tighter than before she felt the rush of wind. Kagome knew she was finally safe.


InuYasha made quick work of the simple lock that kept him away from Kagome. Once it was completely scratched up and it let him in, he practically flew to Kagome's side. He made quick work of the bonds that kept her to the chair before throwing his arms around her. He felt her curl up in his arms and she shivered when he sniffed at the skin on her neck. He smiled. But InuYasha knew better. He had to get Kagome out of there as fast as possible.

Not wanting to, InuYasha pulled away from Kagome but quickly picked her up, one hand supporting her back and the other under her knees. She insistently slipped one arm around his neck and he positioned himself on top of a musty old desk, ready to leap back out the open window.

Glancing down, InuYasha smirked as he noted Kagome rest her head against his chest, closing her eyes.

Bending down a bit, he whispered, "Comfortable?"

Her soft brown eyes peeked out at him and she returned his smile before nodding and murmuring something that sounded like a, "Uh-huh."

"Good."

InuYasha stepped onto the windowsill before glancing at the girl in his arms.

"Now Kagome," he said, "Hold on tight. It's going to be a bumpy ride."

InuYasha saw Kagome nod before wrapping both arms tightly around his neck. InuYasha tried his best to hide his blush as her fingers tickled the skin at his neck or the want that began to encircle him. But his demon side stayed back. For both it and himself knew that they weren't safe. Not just yet.


Author's Note: Okay peeps I'm back. Sorry if any of this stuff is confusing. At first the dude was just going to kidnap Kagome but then I thought, what's the point in that? So it's all a plan to get back at Inuman's father (when is it not???). So over the next few chappies, everything will become (hopefully) a bit clearer.

The next chappy should be out super soon since I'm typing them all at the same time. ;)

For all of you peeps who've read my other story The Dance, when I went to N. Carolina, I told you all about how I fell in LOVE with the song 'I Can't Wait to Be King' from the movie the Lion King, I've got some info for you concerning that song: I'm sitting here, driving in Florida (where? don't ask me) listing to that song for the 74th time. Yep, I'm obsessed.

I'm sorry all these chappies are so short. Odd since it takes me 2 hours to type them... is that a good thing?

ACK! I can't type any more until we get to the hotel!!! This stupid laptop's battery is dead!!! Noooooooooo!

Sur au chapitre prochain!
