Thank you so much for the reviews! I can't believe I was able to make SIXTEEN chapters and still have people who like it. I am updating faster than before so you guys can get this fan-fic over with. But I will try not to rush it. Here is chapter seventeen!
Kagome saw Inuyasha standing at the doorway and her heart leaped. This was either extremely good or extremely bad. What if they see him? At least she was saved now and didn't have to face the horrible dooms of Naraku. Hojo already did enough damage, thank god he wasn't doing this to her. She looked at Kikyou, who looked like she was standing beside Inuyasha if this were a 2-D image. Her sleek hair was pulled back into a loose ponytail. Her face didn't look the same as it used to. She looked warn out and tired. She had bags under her eyes and her skin was almost yellow, not like the usual ivory tone that it had. She felt most betrayed by her. What happened to all those times in elementary? Was it her imagination or did they used to be best friends? Kagome wondered what made Kikyou this way.
Then her attention was brought to Naraku who was in the midst of taking off her shirt. She tried to move once again but no matter how forcefully she told her limbs to move they did not. Just the feeling alone that she didn't have control over her body scared her. She watched as he was trying to pull the shirt off her head. His eyes glowed menacingly. He mouth was quirked into a strange smirk. He was enjoying this. His face showed no trace of regret or guilt. How many times had he done this before? He was having some difficulties with the shirt. She felt an extreme chill over her now bare stomach; all she could do was franticly look at the fabric of her shirt. Why wasn't Inuyasha doing anything?
Then she heard the sound of a struggle. The room was brought into view and she could not see Naraku. She looked for Inuyasha and found that he was busy punching Hojo. He turned around. His face was almost unrecognizable; it was so twisted into hate and rage that he looked fearsome. Once he saw her his features went from aggressive to soft. His shoulders relaxed and he rushed towards her. "Are you ok?" He asked.
She tried to answer but couldn't. His face grew worried. "She can't move.", said a voice from the corner.
She darted her eyes toward Kikyou. She was in the far left corner, away from the door and everything else. She looked like she had just woken up from a dream. Inuyasha placed Kagome back against the couch and walked out the door. Where was he going! He wasn't going to just leave her here was he? He came back with something in his hands. She couldn't see his face and she wondered what on earth he was doing. He dragged Hojo and Naraku's bodies into the middle of the room and then went for Kikyou. She didn't put up any struggle and sat in the middle also. Inuyasha then took the thing in his hand and wrapped it around the group. He tied the rope in a tight knot and turned to Kagome. His eyebrows were furrowed and he once again went to her side. She was busy staring at Hojo and Naraku. They were slumped over, completely knocked out. Hojo had some blood on his shirt from his nose. Inuyasha put his head in her line of vision. "Can you move anything now?"
She narrowed her eyes at his stupidity, "If I could move don't you think I would have by now?" She felt like saying.
He looked at her chest and blushed. She remembered that she had no shirt on and tried to cover herself but she remained lying. He took off his jacket and wrapped it around her. She felt like a doll. Her body was completely limp so he had to hold her back and rest her head against the crook in his neck. She hoped she wasn't drooling. What was more embarrassing was that he was touching her midsection and it was making her uncomfortable. She was regaining feeling but she still couldn't move. Once she had the jacket on he pulled a cell phone out of the pocket. He dialed 911 and said to the operator, "I have found some drug users that have broke into a house,"
Kagome was glad that he didn't say anything about them trying to gang bang her. It would have ruined her. They wouldn't get punished for it but they were still going to get punished for their other crimes. Inuyasha hung up the phone after giving the address and everything else. He turned towards her and said, "The police are coming. We should leave."
He picked her up bridal style and walked out the door. Although it was bridal style she looked dead. She had no working muscles that could hold on to him and her head hung back. Kagome was enjoying this anyway. Inuyasha looked down at her to see that she was grinning with a dazed open mouth. Hopefully that was her doing and not a drug. He noted that if he were to let her head hang like that when she would regain feeling her neck would be in a lot of pain. He shifted his arm so that her head rested on it. He was at the front door now. When he got down the steps he felt something wet on his arm. He looked down and saw Kagome drooling on it. She was looking back and forth between him and where she thought the drool was. He wiped it off on his shirt and kept going. He couldn't take her home like this. He would have to stay with her until she could at least talk.
When they got to a park he set her down on the bench. "We will stay here until you regain some feeling ok?" Then he added, "I think my brother would get a little suspicious if I brought home a girl who couldn't speak or move. If you can speak we can at least pretend you're drunk."
Kagome did a small nod and looked at him. How could he get her speaking? He always seemed to be trying to get her to speak…What made her speak last time? "You know I thought you liked Naraku."
Kagome's eyes widened and her mouth didn't move but a noise that sounded like an "OOOoooHHH!" came out.
"Oh yeah, Sango told me about how he asked you to dance. To bad he turned out like this though." He was smiling but he was turned away from her so she couldn't see.
"I HATE HIM!" She yelled.
He felt a pain in his shoulder and turned around to see Kagome sitting up and breathing heavily. "I was just joking jeese, at least you can move now." Before she could answer her grabbed her arms and helped her up. She stood for two seconds and fell against his chest. He caught her lightly. "You may be able to talk but you can't walk." He rhymed.
She growled and he put his arm around her and the hobbled along. Kagome kept slumping everywhere. You would think she was made of jelly. When Inuyasha shifted to her comfort she mumbled something to his back. "Hmm?" He said.
"Thank you. For saving me." She said full and clear.
Inuyasha blushed, "Oh, uh yah, no problem."
"How did you know I was there?"
"I uh asked around, then I followed your scent. I overheard some conversation coming from the window and went to see if you were there."
"Really? You did all that for me?"
"Yah I guess."
Kagome breathed in happily and patted her hand on his shoulder. She would have done more but that was all she could do.
When they got to Inuyasha's house he opened the door to find that Sesshomaru was not in the room. He picked up Kagome and carried her to his room. Even though she could now move her arms and most of her waist in the time that it took them to journey to Inuyasha's house. Her bottom half was useless. He gently set her down on his bed. She flopped against the wall and took in the sight of his candy cane room. (AN: For you Meg) The red and silver was very welcoming, even in the light of the lamp. The room was coated in Inuyasha's smell. Kagome was immediately relaxed. "You can sleep in my bed tonight. I will sleep on the couch in the living room."
Kagome looked up. "What if they come for me? What if they take me away never to be seen again?"
Inuyasha saw her panicked face and smiled, "Don't worry they are with the police now. They won't harm you." It didn't seem to work.
"Please stay." She sounded desperate. She grabbed his arm and prevented him from leaving. He too sat on the bed and slid in the corner beside her.
"Ok, I will stay", then he added, "Only for a little while, then I leave"
She smiled. "Only for a while is ok."
Kagome watched the still shadows of various things in his room. She leaned in on Inuyasha's chest and he wrapped his arms around her. She felt so warm and snug. This was how she wanted to stay, forever. There would be no interruptions, just pure bliss. She felt like she was in a whole different world. He parents weren't dead. Her brother Souta would be running up to her to tell the latest news about his favorite show. There were no sick people like Hojo and Naraku in this world. There was no back stabbing people like Kikyou in this world. This world was how it was supposed to be. "Inuyasha..." Kagome said. She looked up to see that he was already asleep. His ears twitched and he squeezed his arms bringing her closer to him.
This life wasn't all that bad. Sure her family wasn't there in body but they were with her in spirit. She still had her aunt. She had two best friends that cared for her. She didn't have to worry about Naraku or Hojo anymore either. Kikyou seemed sorry…Most of all she had Inuyasha. He had saved her so many times in so many ways. Where would she be without him? He saved her from the mugger, being a loner, falling off a skateboard, death, being raped and going insane. Kagome was a changed person now. Her life was going to be good, no, great. What is in the past is in the past. No need to dwell on it. Whatever troubles Kagome would face in the future she could handle it, as long as she had Inuyasha. As long as she had Inuyasha… Kagome repeated the word over and over in her mind and closed her eyes and went into a world just like her own.
Well I think that will be the end. I have no more ideas for this story and I am sorry if it seemed rushed but a friend of mine has been hounding me XD. I might start another story but I don't know what it will be about, I will have to think about it. Thank you so much for every single review and every single reviewer. You made my life happy each time I read one of the reviews. Once again thank you and I might see you in my next story! goes off to cry
